Those who take } the time to think through on the broad problem of supply and prices will glean the significance of the current tug-of-war between blocs and Federal control agencies. Hie mine labor strike, which would have brought these undercover currents to a boiling point, has been delayed for further negotiations.

The Office of Price Adminisparejits, Juarez in an Indian hut in; tration and the Department of Agrithe state of Oaxaca. Both stood and fought for the highest principles of democracy. Both were confronted by serious threats to the maintenance of those principles, Lincoln by forces operating within the country, Juarez by elements both within and without the nation. For neither of them could there be a compromise with what they considered to be the fundamental requisites of national life, and through a tenacity of purpose and an unswerving devotion, to duty, they both accomplished the mission they had been called upon to perform. Born on March 21, 1806, in, the little mountain village of San Pablo Guelatoa, Benito Juarez was the son of pure-blooded Zapotec Indians. He was orphaned at an early age and did not learn to speak Spanish until the age of twelve, when he was taken to the city of Oaxaca. Placed under the care of a kindly priest, a new horizon opened up before him. He received a fairly extensive education and graduated with a law degree in 1834. With that origin and that background it is not surprising that Juarez should have become a chamculture are opposed to these plans on the theory it would break down necessary inflation control programs. Trade unions are demanding higher wages and want the National War Labor Board wage formula based on living costs thrown overboard. Here are the wheels-withirwwheels of living costs* issue. Debate in the Senate this week was to the effect that including labor costs, which represents 35 per cent of production expense applied to all farm commodities, would result in consumers paying at least 30 per cent more for foodstuffs. After a stormy session the Senate sent this bill back to committee for hearings on the charge it was "railroaded" through in 15 minutes without the public or government given a chance to explain its disastrous effects. Forecast is that a similar measure will be reported. again to the Senate as a companion bill has already passed the House. There' is every reason to believe that the farm bills will be vetoed by the President and equal cause for doubt that his disapproval will be sustained.

On opposite sides of El Bahira, the Lake of Tunis, the two ports have been engaged in a game of seesaw, in which La Goulette was up when Tunis was down. La Goulette is on a neck of land between the lake and the sea, while Tunis is wi the inland side of the lake. Tunis early became a great port city, but when the draught of bigger ships became too great for the intervening lake, the ships could go no farther than La Goulette, which thus developed as the capital's seaport.
