Feeding the People
f Congress is .going to investigate the food sit
uation again. One shivers at the prospect. The
government administration j agencies haven't
done too well in controlling food supply and
distribution, but no one has suffered for lack of
food. Civilians are eating better than they ever
have before, as a. whole; our army is the best
fed army in the world; we have shared our sub
stance with allied nations with some allowance
for liberated countries. ..
A congressional committee is apt to start with
two disqualifying, prejudices; first, a jealousy
of administrative agencies; second, readiness to
accept the producer viewpoint. On the first
point congressmen as well as others delight in"
abusing.bureaus and bureaucrats. ,' Members ap-
pear to have a sort of . inferiority complex as
regards the executive branch of government, so
they vent their spleen on the underling divi
sions. It is always easy to cast judgments on
-the basis of hindsight; and in the management
of the provisioning of tens of millions of peo
ple blunders are sure to show up, which will
form choice meat for the investigators.
In the second place, the senators and con
gressmen from the farm belt who are under
steady pressure to break down price controls on
farm products will be sure tq argue that if only
the farm group plan had been adopted things
would be better. Maybe they would; but con
gressmen and senators who are playing up Mo
: the farm vote are hardly the best judges.
'; A year ago there was a surplus of eggs and so
much pork that fewer farrowings were urged
because of limits of animal feed. This year sup
plies are down, but demand has taken a big
jump due to heavier fighting and to opening of
so much of Europe which is calling for food-
stuffs.
' The tendency ' seems to be to cut down else
where so that our domestic food supplies may
remain high, tRough a cut of 12 per cent on
. meats is set for April 1. It would be wrong to
' say however that the civilian population is suf
fering from any lack of - food. Virtually all
kinds of food are available though not in the
quantities of normal times. We may have some
what shorter rations for a few months, but no
one will suffer.
The cut of 87 per cent in American supplies of
meat to Britain which is reported to be planned
for the next quarter seems unduly drastic be
cause the British meat allowance is very small
as it is. This cut would reduce the weekly meat
rations from 24 to 20 cents worth per person in
the British isles. We in America can stand more
of a reduction than 12 per cent rather than di
minish the portion $o Britain by 87 per cent.
jThese questions are primarily administrative
and decisions must be left with administrative
bodies. It's all right for them to be under con
stant scrutiny, and for their acts to be discussed
and commented on. Even congress must be per
mitted its authority-to investigate. But there
U no reason to get panicky. We can still take
some curtailment in supplies. And the prospect
is that before many (months there will be some
relief. And we roust remember that Britain has
been on very short rations for nearly six years, ,
and that peoples on the continent, many of
-them, suffer from rfcal malnutrition.

Strip Mining
Last week The Statesman commented on a
bill in the Oregon legislature to impose a small
t degree, of control over dredging operations
' ' which now leave humps of gravel where once
was fertile bottom land. Our Oregon problem
Is very tiny, on an acreage basis, though the
ruin k of greater significance than the area
would indicate because o fthe limited quantity
of good bottom land in those districts where
gold dredging is carried on. 1
v - Other states have a similar problem on a far
greater scale due to strip mining for coal. Mod
ern power machinery has made strip mining
very profitable where the overburden is not too
great. In 1914, strip mines produced 1,281,000
tons of coal. The quantity increased to 21 mil
lion tons in 1934 and by 1944 the strip mine pro
duction reached 93 million tons, or 15 per cent
of the total of bituminous coal produced.
According to an article in the Wall Street
Editorial Comment
FLOOD CONTROL ;
The army engineers in Portland state that the
Fern Ridge dam on the Long Tom river has proven
its usefulness as a unit in ultimate flood control by
a network of seven dams. The completed network
will, have as its chief purpose the reduction of flood
damage in the Willamette river basin .as well as
to provide benefits in the way of navigation and
Irrigation. Col. Ralph A. Tudor, however, Portland
district army engineer, states that two years of op
eration show that a maximum benefit can be de-'
rived from Fern Ridge dam only if river channel

elements.
