H. Smith, of the By JAMES MARLOW and GEORGE ZIELKE WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-MAP) The foxes got stung, the eager Beavers were nicked for plenty and the tortoises won. So, before you take down that Christmas tree, remember the les ton in It. The lesson doesn't end ivith Christmas. There was supposed to have been a Christmas tree shortage. Foxy dealers, figuring on a grand buying rush, kited their prices: $6, $7 and $8 a tree. . Then eager-Beaver buys, with money to spare or a fear they'd miss a tree ,wcnt out and paid the r.sklng price. ' ' But' fhe' tortoise-like - cautious Tents, who preferred doing with- ' j'out to being gypped, stayed away from the tree marts in droves. About that time, as one OPA official says, trees began flood ing into the big cities. The trees so exceeded the even tual demand that the foxes had to cut their prices to the bone nd many wound up by having to burn the trees, So what? Two things: In the first place OPA had put no ceiling on trees because they were .not essential. Secopd, OPA did not ration the trees. ' - It was a free market and, as t developed, for once the profi teers miscalculated. Plenty of people paid far too much for the trees -they bought. But plenty of people Ignored the trees or waited till the price col lapsed. ' 1 So what does the Christmas tree story prove? Only this: , It was a good illustration of what could be expected in this country If necessary commodities wore unrutioned or were not jield under price control. There would be people fair rnoagh to want to charge only a fair price. Also there would would have been ppople anxious ;o get rich in a harry and there ore glad to charge any price they could get. ; ; . , There would be people foolish .nough to pay the asking price no nailer how high.' Those people msM counter by saying: "We're tot saps. We have money to :;Fnd. We'll spend it on what we want." . . , , And there is the third group, fhe people without , money to spire, who would have had to sit :r.k and watch the unequal dis tribution of goods.
