Economists Say Demand forFoods Will Last Five

I Years After War.

WASHINGTON.—American farm-ers will have a market far greaterthan their ability to produce for atleast five years after peace has beendeclared, according to governmenteconomists and farm officials.

The predictions of a big market inthe years immediately following thewar are based on the prospect thatthe United States will have to sendabroad for relief and rehabilitationeven more food than it is now send-ing for lend-lease and military pur-poses.

The experts' belief in the possibili-ty of permanent agricultural pros-perity is based on the facts that theworld as a whole never has hadenough to eat and that no country,including the United States, has eversupplied its own population withenough of the right kinds of food tosustain good health as a whole.

Take AH Farmer Produces.Agriculture department econo-

mists say that if, at the end of thewar, American people are permit-ted to buy all the food they want atpresent prices and under conditionsof a high level of employment, theywill take all that farmers will beproducing.

Nothing would be left, they add,for relief and rehabilitation needs ofwar-ravaged countries, or to meetthe nutritional needs of low-incomegroups.

Farm officials, on the basis olhopes that industrial production willbe maintained at high levels afterthe war, are planning to improveagricultural production and the eco-nomic and social conditions of farm-ers.

Keystone of those plans is a se-lective expansion of food production,especially of certain livestock prod-ucts, fruits and vegetables. Thatexpansion would be designed to as-sure adequate nutrition for all Amer-icans.

Nutritionists estimate that such anexpansion would require 40 per centmore dairy products, 80 per centmore truck crops, 20 per cent moreeggs and 20 per cent more fruitthan the quantities consumed in the1935-39 period. At average cropyields, these and other needed in-creases would require about 40̂ 11-lion additional acres of crop.land, orabout one-eighth more than is nowbeing used to produce food for thehome market.

Need More Farms, •Officials estimate that at least

300,000 new farms would be neededto help supply such food require-ments. In contrast to the situa-tion following some of our earlierwars, at the end of the present con-flict there will be no unoccupied goodland in this country ready for culti-vation.

To make additional land availablefor settlement would require irriga-tion, drainage and clearing. It isestimated that there are somethinglike 30 million to 40 million acres olsuch land. Of this total 10 millionto 20 million acres could be re-claimed in western states throughirrigation, and another five millionacres of fertile land in the Missis-sippi river delta through drainage.About 15 million acres requiringdrainage and clearing are locatedat various points over the country.

In addition, officials estimate thatpart of the 20 million acres ac-quired by the army and navy forcamps, proving grounds and otherpurposes could be returned to culti-vation to provide farms for at least25,000 families. It has been sug-gested that this land, as well as re-claimed land, be held for sale to ex-service men.

Besides helping to meet food needsand providing settlement opportuni-ties for qualified ex-service men, areclamation program would proba-bly be an important part of any pub-lic works plan to provide employ-ment during demobilization.

124 Billion Is War BillOf U. S. for Three YearsWASHINGTON. — The United

States has spent $124,000,000,000 forwar purposes since the start ofthe defense program July 1, 1940,the War Production board reports.The total includes expenditures toSeptember 1.

Expenditures in August were$7,529,000,000, a 12 per cent increaseover July but 2 per cent under theoutlay in the peak month of June.

Lesson for November 28

Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se-lected and copyrighted by InternationalCouncil of Religious Education; used bypermission.

TRUTHFULNESS AT ALL TIMES

LESSON TEXT—Exodus 20:16; 23:1, 7;Matthew 5:33-37; John 8:42-45.

GOLDEN TEXT — Wherefore puttingaway lying, speak every man truth withhis neighbor: for we are members one ofanother.—Ephesians 4:25.

Melancholy Days

God hates all kinds of dishonesty—a fact which is emphasized bythe additional commandment re-garding truthfulness which is beforeus in this lesson.

God is truth, that is, the very es-sence of His nature is truth. InHim is no darkness at all (I John1:5). Lying or false witness there-fore reveals a character opposite toGod. Hence we are not surprisedto find in our lesson that Satan is aliar and the father of lies, and thatliars are his children.

I. The Nature of a Lie (Exod.20:16; 23:1, 7).

The commandment against falsewitness brings before us one form oflying—for it has to do with perjury,that is, the telling of an untruth incourt.

This is one of the worst forms»oflying, because it may result in theone against whom it is practiced los-ing his liberty, his life or his prop-erty. It may mean the destructionof his good reputation.

It is obvious, however, that thecommandment covers all forms oflying, whether in business, in socialcontacts, in the home, or in thechurch. We might do well to con-sider what the Bible has to sayabout whisperers, talebearers, back-biters, and others (see Lev. 19:6;II Cor. 12:20). A man's reputationmay be as easily ruined by a whis-pered lie over the back fence or theluncheon table as by formal per-jury in the courtroom. "Thou shaltnot bear false witness" at any time,anywhere, or in any way.

II. The Practice of Lying (Matt.5:33-37).

The people of our Lord's day (andwho can say that the custom hasstopped) were in the habit of tellinglies and then trying to make othersbelieve them by an oath.

They would swear by heaven, orthe throne of God, or some othersacred thing, and thus try to en-force their false word by some greatauthority.

The liar is always under neces-sity of doing something—perhapstelling another lie—to cover hisfalsehood. When his comfort or ad-vantage seems to be endangered be-cause he is not believed, he bringsan oath to bear upon his statement.

Jesus taught the great virtue ofsimple living and simple speech. Aplain "yes" or "no" is usually suf-ficient for the situation. Qualifyingwords are apt to lead us astray.The life of a Christian should be sotrue and above board that no oathshould be needed to assure one ofhis sincerity and honesty.

Since not all are Christians, it isa necessity that men be placed un-der some kind of oath or affirmationin judicial matters. Hence we neednot interpret this Scripture as for-bidding an oath in court.

It may be well to say a wordabout swearing in general. It is alltoo common among men, womenand children. No Christian shouldever be guilty of it, or that whichsounds like it. We need admoni-tion and correction at that point

III. The Source of All Lies (John8:42-45).

The devil is a liar, and the fatherof lies. Liars are members of hisfamily. Jesus said it, "Ye are ofyour father the devil,"

Liars had better consider their"family tree" and see how they liketheir spiritual father. He is lustful,murderous, and there is no truth inhim (v. 44). If you belong to thatfamily would you not like to changefamilies and be born again intoGod's family?

Sadly enough the constant lyingof the world seems to have infectedthe minds and hearts of Christians.Instead of being cleansed from thisworldly defilement they carry its aw-ful tendencies into the church. Is itnot too true that gossip (which isalmost always lying), false witness,the tearing down of someone's goodname, is all too common in thechurch?

The great lie within the church,and one of Satan's prize exhibits,is the falsehood of modern religiousliberalism (so-called) which is es-sentially a denial of real New Testa-ment Christianity. Jesus said (v.42) that if God is our Father wewill accept Him as the Christ. Theone who speaks sweet words aboutthe example, the manhood, the lead-ership of the Master and who deniesHim His place as God is clearly inmind here as a follower of the fa-ther of lies.

Note that in verses 45-47 Jesuschallenges His enemies to convictHim of sin or of falsehood. No onehas ever been able to meet thatchallenge.

The claims He made for Himselfas the Son of God and the Saviour ofthe world ^e plain and unmistak-able. If we deny them we eithermake Jesus a liar, or we lie our-selves, and it is obvious .that thelatter is the case

Each symbol represents one million turkeys*

There are now four chickens forevery person in the United Stateswhile back in 1900 there were onlythree. Since there are now about135,000,000 people in the country,there are some 540,000,000 chickenson farms.

Turkeys, too, have been increas-ing, after a long decline between1900 and 1920. There are nowaround 6,600,000 of the big birds onthe nation's farms, just about asmany as there were at the turn ofthe century.

control of fowl pox if it has not gonetoo far.

Inspect your flock at monthly in-tervals for those profit robbers,lice. The simplest method of free-ing the birds from such parasites isto paint a reliable nicotine prepara-tion on the roosts about a half hourbefore roosting time. Then be cer-tain all the birds are on the roosts,because if a few lice escape the en-tire flock will become reinfested.

The greatest losses from infectiouscolds are loss of body weight andegg production. If the disease oc-curs, you may first notice that a fewbirds remain on the roosts most ofthe day or particularly in the after-noon when grain is hand-fed. The in-fected individuals should be re-moved from the flock if possible.Check the litter and if it is too wetremove it and add a deep, dry litter.

If it is only damp add about aninch of dry litter to the top of itand stir it every few days. Do ev-erything possible to keep the birdseating at top pitch. The use of amoist mash at noon, or the feedingof mash pellets will help.

In the absence of an outbreak ofa serious infectious disease, it is un-necessary to change litter every twoweeks or two months. Instead, witha good start of highly absorbent lit-ter three inches deep, add about aninch of new litter at frequent inter-vals until the litter is at least sixinches deep by December 1.

Either keep the litter stirred orfeed grain in the litter so that thebirds stir it sufficiently. This built-up litter is one guarantee againstunnecessarily cold floors whichcause lowered egg production.

Cull the birds frequently and reg-ularly. This practice conserves crit-ical feedstuffs, provides more floorspace per bird, tends to lower mor-tality, and raises percentage of eggproduction. Take out the birds whicharen't contributing their share toyour pocketbook and the war effort.

The best method to conserve fowlparalysis is to remove any lamebirds and those with gray eyes (pro-viding the pupils are irregular inoutlines.

If disease occurs, act promptlyand get an accurate diagnosis. Becertain that casualties are promptlydisposed of by burning them, orburying deep enough so that dogscannot dig them up.

BETTY ELLIS is an ex-tremely attractive wom-an of 32. Betty is one of

those pretty, friendly, intelli-gent girls whose husband winsfrom all other men the invol-untary tribute* of "LuckyBob!" She seemed to have toomuch charm, spirit, beauty,capability to be ..sunk out ofsight in one man's nurseryand kitchen, but that's whathappened to her. She mar-ried Bob Ellis, salesman in abig motor-parts industry, shehad a daughter and then ason; she loved home, children,garden, cooking, books, radio,club, market ing, and sheloved Bob, like the fine, nor-mal, typical young Americanwoman she was.

Then came the war. Bob's moth-er was living with them now, her-self a fine housewife and devotedgrandmother. Betty and old Mrs.Ellis like and understand each oth-er; when Betty had a chance at agood job in a munitions plant itwas her handsome, efficient 54-year-old mother-in-law who advised herto take it. Betty made more moneythan Bob did, from the first.

And how she enjoys it! Dressingcomfortably in shirts and slacks,her hair cut short, her shoes low-heeled, she goes off gaily in themorning with her lunch box. Atnoon she and her fellow-workersmake themselves a cup of coffee;gradually some of the men havejoined them, contributing their ownsupplies, and now Betty is queenof an adoring circle that meets daily.

Betty Enjoys Freedom.In Betty's case all this has gone

to her head. For ten years herinterests have been centered inkitchen, babies and husband. Nowshe is free. Free morally, for Bobcan't check on what she is doingand nobody else has any right to;free financially, for she can spendmore money on her clothes nowa-days than she used to have for allhousehold expenses combined.

It is Betty's husband who writesme about it.

"About four months ago there wasa great change in her," says Bob'sletter. "All winter long she hadbeen coming home too tired to do Imore than just kiss me and the Ichildren, eat her dinner listening to jthe rest of us talking, and tumbleinto bed. But last spring she seemedto come to life. Once or twice shewas late; she called it workingovertime, but she wasn't at work.She changed her clothes at afriend's apartment and went out todinner and dance. This happenedthree times before I caught on.

"We'd been putting most of herearnings into bonds, but she stoppedthat; she had gotten herself a furcoat in March. She said it costtwo hundred, but my mother saidit was worth at least a thousand.But I didn't really suspect any-thing until I heard that Betty wasout dining and dancing, after which jit took very little evidence to con-vince me that she had a lover; a jrich young fellow some years young-er than she, who works in the .sameplant. When I questioned her, try-ing not to show her how insane withnervous anxiety and wretchednessI was, she laughed and kissed me,saying that she was no differentfrom other women, that X.

An at-tractive woman of 32, she hasfound more freedom and profitin her new work than she canhandle wisely. With her twochildren in' the care of hermother-in-law, she apparentlyhas been associating a greatdeal with other men. One ofthem has his own wife andchildren.

"The catastrophic effect of all thisupon my home happiness I can leaveto your imagination. My wife hasalways been on a pedestal, to me;she has always seemed the wisest,truest, happiest of women. Whataccounts for this horrifying change,and what can I salvage from thewreckage of my home? Our daugh-ter is nine, the boy six. They wor-ship their mother; they need her.My mother will live with us onlyduring the war; when peace returns,she must rejoin her husband in adistant city.

en . have written me of your prob-lem in the past 15 years. What todo about the unfaithful mate is avery serious question. I am goingto advise you as I almost invariablyadvise them, hard as this courseis to follow.

I advise you to treat Betty's tem-porary departure from decency andcommon sense as you would a men-tal illness, with silence, patience,forgiveness and, when you can help,with help. Wars do not last for-ever; soon there will be three mil-lion strong young men back fromthe battle fronts, looking for workand entitled to find it. Our socialsituation will receive a jolt then,will be, faced by a predicament thatwill take all we have of courageand faith in ourselves to solve. Evenwith the maintenance of an enor-mous military force, even with thereturn of activity and prosperity allalong the line, there will be readjust-ments that will stagger us all.

It will especially stagger the mon-ey-making, defense-job-filling wom-en. A comparatively small forcewill keep our armories filled withammunitions, in peace. The greatfactories will turn their machineryhi a different direction; the menwill swarm in, and the women willcome home. And just between our-selves, Bob, thousands of them willbe glad to return.

The relationship between you andBetty will never return to its oldconfident, loving status. Your hurtpride will never wholly recover.But you won't be the only man andwoman who extract considerablesatisfaction, comfort, and even com-panionship out of a life built uponjust such wreckage. •

United Stales NowHas Mighty Fleet

Carries Our Flag Today onAll Seas and Oceans.

WASHINGTON. — A giant fleet,"mightiest in world history," car-ries the United States flag today onall oceans and seas. And, in theskies, is "the most powerful navalair force in the world."

The navy proudly gave the de-scriptions in an inventory disclosinggigantic production of ships, planes,ammunition—production that still isadding swiftly to the "greatest sea-air power on earth."

On the seas, the navy observed,the fleet is composed of 14,072 ves-sels, including 613 warships. Threeyears ago there were 1,076 vessels,with 383 fighting ships.

The navy air forces have morethan 18,000 planes—dive bombers,torpedo bombers, fighters, patrolships, planes of all types. Threeyears, ago there were 1,744 navalplanes of all types.

Speed of the production that hasbuilt up the fleet and air arm isportrayed in these comparative fig-ures:

"In July, 1940, the navy receivedfive newly completed vessels; inJuly, 1943, almost 1,200.

"In July, 1940, the navy received25 new airplanes; in June, 1943, al-most 2,000."

Emphasis in the swift job of build-ing the world's mightiest fleet hasbeen laid on hard hitting warshipsthat, can battle it out with any en-emy craft.

In that fighting category 333 newships have been completed sinceJuly, 1940, at a cost of three billiondollars. Of other types, landing craftmake up the largest total—12,964new boats costing one billion dol-lars.

"No naval construction programof comparable size and speed," thenavy said, "has ever been accom-plished by any other nation."

Polish War Worker WillsBonds to United States

BRIDGEPORT, CONN.—A found-ry worker who came from Poland30 years ago has named the UnitedStates as the beneficiary of his warbond holdings.

John Konieczny explained that "ifanything should happen to me, Iwould want to know that whatmoney I have will go back to thecountry that gave it to me."

Konieczny does not believe that hel*as any relatives. He said that threebrothers in the Polish army werekilled in the last war and he believesthat two brothers have been slain bythe Nazis.

Employed at the Bullard machinetool plant here, Konieczny has al-lotted 15 per cent of his wages forwar bonds and last week added a$500 bond to others he also pur-chases from time to time.

Storks Shunning Germany;Fail to Return as Usual

Mr. Orner explained that they usu-ally migrate to South Africa for thewinter, returning home for the nest-ing season. This year, he said, theystayed in South Africa.

Commando TrainingOld Stuff at U-M

Ann Arbor—Commando trainingis old /stuff for field men in theForestry School of the Universityof Michigan.

They've been getting it for sometime now as part of their regularforestry work. '• The course is sogood that Army officers say theywould like to give it to every manthey have here if there were timeenough and leaders available.

Bob Brandenberger of 2191 Philip,Detroit, goes up a tall one with ropeloop and spurs.

For trees and* pole climbing spursare used, just l|ke telephone line-men. "It looks simple," explainsJack Stanford, field director, "butthe average fellow takes about amonth before he's fast with them.Meanwhile he's spent a lot of tunedigging slivers out of himself whenhe's slipped."

Bogs and swamps have to becrossed. The ctudents learn to gettheir equipment across dry, but forthemselves it's usually wallow in,swim the deep spots, and then crawlout the other side.

In the summer term, three weeksare devoted to canoeing and watersafety. For the canoe still is theonly way to get around in a sur-prisingly large amount of countrywhere these men will work. Theylearn to portage, as well as to packloads on their backs. This lastmostly is done during the overnighttrips when each man will carry 30to 50 pounds for 8 to 15 miles, be-sides making camp.

Other skills learned include mapwork, use of the compass, land-marks, woodcraft, cooking, first aid,foods and poisons met in the wild.

"Right now they're working on alittle judo, this western version ofjiu-jitsu," says Stanford. "It's self-preservation in physical c o m b a t .Pretty rough stuff but the boys areeating it up."

There's a little handbook whichsums up a lot of these things theyhave to learn by practice. Writtenby Drs. Samuel A. Graham and EarlC. O'Roke, both of the ForestrySchool, it is called "On Your Own."

But the work is one which cannotbe taught in any classroom or froma book. The men actually go outand learn by wading streams, sight-ing compasses, climbing walls, pad-dling a canoe, toting a pack. Andthey learn more than just thosethings. As one member of the schoolput it, "they learn to use theirbrains."

Bomber CamerasBomber cameras are synchro-

nized with bomb release mech-anisms so that the bombs can be pho-tographed at every stage * of theirflight, and by means of a flash bombthe target is illuminated at the pre-cise moment when they strike.

Develop WoodworkingThe 19th century's greatest con-

tribution to furniture was the de-velopment of woodworking machin-ery and the introduction of machine-made furniture.

Max Aiken of 420 Darling, Fre-mont, and Bob Brandenberger of2191 Philip, Detroit, use the glasseswhile on a field mapping trip.

The reason back of the course issimple. Forestry men have to workin the field, which usually meansthe wilds. In addition to theory, theschool trains them to live outdoorsand to take care of themselves. Thusthe work combines lore of the lum-berjack, Indian, Daniel Boone, Kit \Carson and mountaineering.

This last consists of using ropesto go straight up 40 and 60 foot con-crete walls at an old cement plantnear Dexter. No pulleys are used-eachx man gets his rope over, makesthe hitch and then hauls himself up.Easy? Ever try pulling yourselfstraight up for 60 feet?

Help to save coal byconserving electricity

Long ago, coal acquired the title "BLACK DIA-MOND/' Coal is precious today because it is acritical war material, because it is needed to runsteel mills and railroads and power plants aswell as to heat our homes.

Thousands ot tons ot coal are required everyday in Edison power plants to make the electricityused by war plants and homes and businessplaces in this area. It you use less electricity,less coal will be burned; The problem is as simpleas that. Anything you can do to save electricityalso saves coal.

That is why the Government asks for the utmostconservation in your use oi electric power. Be care-ful in your use oi electric appliances and equip-ment—turn oft immediately when the task iscompleted, in home or office or factory, turn offlights not in use. Clean lamp bulbs and reflectorsregularly. Don't leave the radio turned on whennot listening to it. "Share the light" so that onelamp can serve two or more people.

These things are small in themselves. But thisconservation program, which includes ALL utilityservices, will save thousands of ions of coal vitallyneeded for war. The Detroit Edison Company.

RETAILERS. Because of theserious shortage of manpower, thenecessity of transportation priori-ties for war supplies, and thegrowing scarcity of merchandise,Michigan shoppers who wait untilmid-December to buy and mailChristmas gifts are due for abruptawakening and tearful disappoint-ments. This warning comes fromthe Michigan Retail Institute atLansing this week, and it is sup-ported by official statements fromPostmaster General Frank C.Walker, Chairman Paul V. McNuttof the war manpower commission,and Joseph B. Eastman, directorof the Office of Defense Transpor-tation.

Facts: Michigan retailers are ina jam. They lack adequate laborto handle the normal Decemberbuying rush. Many types of mer-chandise are not available or can-not be replaced readily when pres-ent supplies are depleted. Postalservice is badly bogged down.Trains are jammed with war sup-plies, and gifts cannot be permittedto interfere with transportation ofarms and supplies to our fightingforces. Packages mailed after thefirst week of December are not as-sured of delivery before Christmas—even if then. Moral: If youwant to avoid disappointments foryourself and for others, buy andmail your usual Christmas giftsnow. This is not commercial bally-hoo. We're at war.

INFLATION. Purchase of otherthan essential merchandise byChristmas shoppers is frowned up-on by Messrs. Walker, McNutt andEastman who emphasize the perilof inflation in a wild buying spree.Michigan consumers have moremoney to spend than ever before.Farm crops this year are valued at$500,000,000, highest on record,while industrial payrolls are at all-time peaks.

COMMUNICATION.

Cabbage Seed and the Declarationof Independence.

The story of the creation of theworld is told in Genesis in 400words. The world's greatest moralcode—the Ten Commandments—contains only 297 words. Lincoln'simmortal Gettysburg address isbut 266 words in length, and theDeclaration of Independence re-quired only 1,321 words to set upa new concept of freedom. TheOffice of Price Administration uses2,500 words to .announce a re-duction in the price of cabbageseed. There is no need of com-ment on the foregoing. The cab-bage heads in Washington evident-ly saw the need of a lower price fortheir seed, but nobody else wouldhave the same eyesight.

If Arthur Mpore should tire ofconducting his • large farm inGrant Township, the "boys" upthat way have a hunch that he can jsecure a job as a circus performer.They base their judgment on arecent act "Art" executed when |he backed a car straight down his '20-rod lane in total darkness,without leaving the travelled por-tion of this private highway. Theonly flaw in the performance isthat the driver failed to stop theauto before it knocked down arural mail box and landed in a ,ditch on the main highway. Ar- jthur says he is not going, to tryto repeat the feat regardless of howmuch he is praised on his initialperformance, for a second trymight not be so spectacular or sosuccessful. Mr. Moore borrowedthe car of his son, Clayton, to goto a church supper and didn'tknow it was set in reverse gearwhen he started the automobile.

Leave Sinking ShipThere are many sailors who will

swear that a rat will not remain onany ship that is going to sink, butwill invariably go ashore prior to thelast sailing. In the days of woodenships and iron men, leaks were ob-stacles with which a ship masterhad almost constantly to contend.When the seams started to open andthe water slowly entered the hull,the rats, cozily installed in the hold,would be the first to discover thesituation and would hastily migrateashore in search of more comfort-able quarters.

Quite EvidentThen there was the professor who

told one of his class: "Erase theboard so I can show the studentswhat I have on my mind."

Excuse Me!Hubby—That's delicious stuffing

you put in the turkey, darling.Wifey—Stuffing? I didn't stuff it

I just cooked the turkey.

Stranger—Which is correct, "ahen is sitting" or "a hen is setting."

Farmer—I don't care. The impor-tant thing when she cackles is "isshe laying" or "is she lying"?

Milkman's HelperFather—On her last birthday I

gave my daughter her • first frontdoor key.

Friend—Don't you think she'spretty young?

Father—Maybe, but I got awfullytired of having her knock the milkoff the back porch.

And Dad Knows!Sonny—Say, Dad, how soon will I

be old enough to do as I please?Dad—Son, nobody has ever lived

that long!

CURRENT EVENTSBAFFLE NEWS READER

WASHINGTON. — The strikes,wage actions and economic debatesfrom the labor and food subsidyfronts must seem wholly beyond theunderstanding of even a well-in-formed news reader.

In truth, some developments arebeyond the full understanding of theparticipants who are splitting statis-tical hairs and pulling political ones.The controlling forces behind thedevelopments, however, can be setforth with an undeniable assurancewhich should enable readers to un-derstand the implications of currentnews.

A real national economic crisis hasarisen from the campaign of laborleaders to break the loose economicbounds fixed by the administrationon wages and prices. The unauthor-ized coal strikes, the threatened rail-road strike, and similar develop-ments must be traced to that laborinitiative.

The seriousness of the situationapparently is not fully understood.Nor has the public been informed ofthe depth of White House perplexityin trying to find compromise solu-tions.

The White House plan, however, isclearly discernible between recentdevelopments. The Vinson decisionagainst a full eight cents an hourrail increase to non-operating em-ployees and the War Labor boardsplit decision (7 to 5) in the Illinoiscoal contract granting a possible $10a week raise, show the administra-tion is ready to bend, if not officiallybreak the ceilings of the Little Steelformula.

But it obviously wants to holddown the break to a point that willnot again throw prices into anyhigher inflationary ground than nec-essary.

At the same time, its talented mo-bilizer Jimmy Byrnes is soft-shoeinghis way around inside congress try-ing to get some arrangement forcontinuance of the Commodity Creditcorporation food subsidies which willmake the consumer and wage earn-er think prices are not as high asthey are, by making the treasurystand some of the increase.

In short, the White House methodis to compromise at whatever nego-tiable point it can find, in order tostave off another general wage andprice increase. Weeks will be re-quired to work it out, if it can beworked out, and the effectiveness ofthe results cannot even be guessed. '•

The crisis has war and political \aspects as well as economic sig-nificance.

Coal production already has bro-ken down to the point where suffer-ing in many localities can be expect-ed this winter. Production initiativewas disturbed long before the re-cent crisis by the fact that sons andfriends of miners were able to findother war work paying higherwages.

Then, also/ the railroad brother-hoods are a powerful group, whichusually gets what it wants. A railstrike obviously cannot be allowedin view of war necessity, even if itis voted.

All this agitation is, of course, be-ing used by Byrnes to frighten con-gress into a compromise on a foodsubsidy, but apparently withoutmuch effect.

Even if Mr. Roosevelt's compro-mise plan is successful, it probablywill lead the nation into higher in-flationary ground, but apparentlyhe hopes the ground will be becloud-ed so as not to scare anyone. Also,such negotiated decisions must betemporary,

Both labor leaders and farm lead-ers apparently justify their exist-ence by planned successive cam-paigns to increase wages and betterconditions without end. Their organ-izational setups are such that theycannot afford to take a national eco-nomic viewpoint—or accept onewhich conflicts with theirs.

Nor have they overlooked the factthat a critical presidential electionis in the offing next year, having re-cently modified their national polit-ical pledges at their conventions -tothe point of practically inviting thePresident to fish for their votes ifhe wants them—and to use biggerand better bait.

An overall, arbitrary freezing ofboth prices and wages at the outsetof this war (as Baruch demanded)might have obviated the existing dif-ficulties. But with a policy of nego-tiation and adjustment having pro-ceeded as far as it has, no one seemsto be able even to suggest a whollysatisfactory or guaranteed solution.

< $ > < $ > < $ >A WORLD 'POLICE FORCE'

The whole international policeforce notion dropped almost entirelyout of the senate debate. Even NewDealing Senator Pepper, who only afew months back, was talking abouta world state and an internationalarmy, did not bring up the first sub-ject and conceded that an interna-tional force was a matter of futurediscussion a long way off.

This enabled critical Senator VanNuys to say—and rightly—that theConnally resolution did not promisesuch a force. The idea seems dead.

What is more likely to happen

and post-war history might havebeen different, so the author con-cludes.

Concluded from page *.*eral public and many in Congresshave not been waked up to thisfact: Inflation is already upon us."Fisher cautions that continued fi-nancing of the war "raising moneynot by taxes, not by loans out ofsavings, but by the 'invisiblegreenbacks' issued by the banks"is a certain path to "terrific in-flation." His recommendation:Save more, spend less. Best Christ-mas gift: A U. S. war bond!

* * *REVOLT. The Michigan Retail

Institute reports that the numerousdirectives of the OP A, containing11,000,000 words as used by 857lawyers, had flooded merchantswith an epidemic of confusing or-ders. Statement by Otis Cook,managing director: "How can anyman in business hope to under-stand all the various rulings andrestrictions which have been de-signed to control his business?"Result, says Cook: 32,000 retailersare in revolt against governmentcontrols.

* * #GASOLINE PACTS. New B and

C coupons, due Dec. 1, are publi-cized by OPA as means of reduc-ing clerical work, for coupons willbe worth five gallons. However,Washington observers unite inforecasting further reduction ofcoupon value after Jan. 1. Rea-sons: We are using our oil re-serves fast; North Europe mecha-nized invasion is coming; increased"air assaults are consuming vastamounts of high octane gasoline.

* * *INVASION. Slow progress of

American and British troops inItaly and further reports of Ger-man morale tend to substantiatethe viewpoint of U. S. militaryauthorities, as expressed^ recentlyto Michigan leaders at Fort Knox,Kentucky, that collapse ' of Ger-many is not yet in sight. The gov-ernment conference sought to curb(1) German hopes that Americanswill become weary of war; (2)turnover of war workers which hasreached serious proportions, ac-cording to a national survey by theOWI; and (3) overoptimism thatwar will end in a few weeks.American official view is that aninvasion must come from the westbefore Germans surrender uncon-ditionally.

* * *EXCESSIVE. The OWI survey

of war plants revealed that it isnecessary, today to hire 17 workersto get a net increase of three forevery 100 employed. Here are thehighlights: More women than menare quitting jobs. In September800,000 persons left their jobs,, atotal exceeded during 1942 only inAugust. Reasons given for changeto "better and more essentialjobs": "Because of unsuitabilityfor their work, because of generalrestlessness and because of homeduties." Summary: "The presentexcessive rate must be substantial-ly reduced or the whole pattern ofwar production will be jeopard-ized," WMC officials say.

* * *BONUS TALK. While Governor

Kelly renewed his pledge for aMichigan soldiers' and sailors' warbonus, Congress was being askedto approve uniform payments of$12 to $15 a week for 26 weeks todemobilized men who fail to findjobs. When Germany surrendersin 1944—such is the Allied wartimetable—Michigan war plantsmay expect some scaling down ingovernment contracts. Productionfor air and sea forces will be main-tained at high levels. Land forcestoday are taking only one-third ofour total war production, and in-ventories in ground ordnance-tanks, guns and shells—may be jabout large enough to carry waragainst Japan. End of the war inEurope will have a limited defla-tionary effect. That's the dope asthe experts see it.

* * *LEAGUE OF NATIONS. The

resolution by the National Grangeat Grand Rapids last week, en-dorsing American participation ina world court or league of nationshas been interpreted as anotherillustration of how public opinionhas changed since the days ofWoodrow Wilson. The ForeignPolicy Association in a booklet,"American Foreign Policies," writ-ten by Prof. Thomas A. Bailey ofStanford University, puts a, newlight on our recent post-war iso-lationism. . ,.

Bailey says that Wilson, by hisrefusal to accept reservations /tothe peace treaty, defining our obli-gations under the Covenant of theLeague of Nations, "actually slewthe League of Nations with hisown hands." Bailey adds that theRepublicans in 1918, led by HenryCabot Lodge, did not expect to de-feat the treaty and that even Hard-ing had favored .an Association ofNations. If Wilson had acceptedthe reservations, the United Stateswould have been in the League

Separate New CropNew grain should never be stored

in a bin containing a part of the i:

previous year's crop. Year-old grainis almost sure to be infested, andeven a few insects in the old grainmay increase during the winter tosuch numbers that the entire binwill be damaged.

WEEKLY MEWS ANALYSIS

Fighting See-Saws in Southern ItalyAs Nazis Prepare for Allied Landing;Reds Capture Important Rail Lines;Food Subsidy War Continues to Rage(EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those ofWestern Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.)____________ Released by Western Newspaper Union. «_______

PaClflC" This picture shows some of the devastation U. S.' bombers have caused in Japan's big shipping and air base of Rabaul,feeder point for enemy forces operating in New Guinea and the Solo-

i mons. In a recent attack, fighter planes from aircraft carriers protected| land-based bombers in their assaults on Rabaul.

Their footing on the southwest shore of Bougainville secure, U. S.I troops were being re-enforced for their push inland against the 40,000' Japs reportedly clinging to their last major stronghold in the Solomons.i The U. S. brought fighter planes into the action to bomb and machine! gun enemy positions hewn into the jungle.' Since Pearl Harbor, a naval spokesman reported 67 U. S. warships: sunk: one battleship, four aircraft carriers, nine cruisers, 39 destroyersI and 14 submarines.

ITALY:I Fighting See-Saws' Fighting in the mountains see-i sawed in southern Italy as the Ger-jmaris cleared sections of the westI coast to the north in anticipation ofi Allied landings from fleets which| they reported were massed in Na-i pies.• Bitter fighting marked the moun-tain warfare in the Mignano region,

j where the Germans were guarding| the pass leading into the level plain| stretching approximately 80 miles1 to the north to Rome.

One U. S. company alone used 500'hand grenades in the close, rough•encounters along the rocky -slopes.; Anchored in six-foot-deep tunnels se-: curely thatched with heavy timbers! and sand bags, the Nazis held strong; positions, relatively secure from| dive-bombings or artillery fire, but| sometimes open to attacks from thej side or rear.

i SUBSIDIES:I Fight On

With other branches of agrlcul-I ture, representatives of the livestock! trade spearheaded the attack againstithe administration's subsidy pro-jgram before the senate agriculture(committee. On November 1, Presi-i dent Roosevelt had called on con-jgress to continue government pay-iments to encourage production andI reduce consumer costs through re-i tail price reductions, announcing theprogram now runs the U. S. 800 mil-lion dollars annually.

Frank Boice of the American Live-stock association told the senatecommittee subsidies for reducing re-tail meat prices will save the con-sumer barely $2 annually. P. O.Wilson of the joint livestock com-mittee declared cattle producerswere never consulted on establish-ment of meat price ceilings. ,

Opposition to subsidies also wasregistered by the Grocery Manufac-turers of America, representative of85 per cent of the nation's proc-essed food producers. The organiza-tion stated that price control of itsproducts on a subsidy basis was un-sound because the cost would haveto be repaid in taxation, plus ad-

| ministration expense of the pro-i gram.

j RUSSIA:| Near PolandI Slowly, Russian troops were bend-ing the center of the Nazi battleline back to the pre-war Polish bor-

| der, with the Reds no less than 50I miles distant from the old boundary! at two points west of Kiev.

In addition, the Russ were snap-j ping important rail lines hooking upI Nazi forces in the north and south.

To the south, the Germans report-ed 500,000 Russ attacking at Krivoi

; Rog, big mine center where the1 Nazis stopped the Reds' surgei through the Ukraine when it threat-\ ened to trap huge forces in the Dnie-: per. river bend.

In Washington, D. C., it was an-; nounced Russian armies had been\ aided by the lend-lease of 6,500planes and more than 3,000 tanks inthe two years ended September 30.

'WHISKY BUSINESS:Senate to Investigate

Charged with hoarding whiskystocks to evade taxation and raiseprices, big distillerswere to be called toWashington, D. C.,before a senate sub-committee to ex-plain alleged short-ages despite report-ed inventories of fiveor six years.

Said Senator Fred-erick Van Nuys, In-diana: "We knowthat some of the big

'corporations, whichhave been buying uplittle distilleries, arekeeping liquor in the Frederickwarehouses eight or Van Nuysten years, whenmost liquor does not age percepti-bly after four years."

Senator Van Nuys said otherphases of the investigation will con-cern the practice of distilleries sell-ing inventories to stockholders, andthe alleged mixture of straightwhisky with 70 per cent neutralspirits for sale under strange brandnames to evade price ceilings.

AGRICULTURE:Assured of Fertilizer

As manufacturers, the army andTennessee Valley authority have en-tered into an agreement with theWar Production board to supply625,000 tons of nitrogen for agricul-ture for the 1943-'44 season.

Under the agreement, the armywill realize $47.50 per ton on thenitrogen on an f.o.b. basis, withTVA selling the fertilizer. In cer-

j tain southern states, Associated Co-j operatives, Inc., will act as distribu-! tors, and in all other states east ofi the Rocky mountains, TVA will sell| the product through brokers desig-| nated by WPB.! To manufacture the nitrogen, thej army will operate its marginal fa-! cilities for ammonium nitrate, and

TVA will furnish specifications for; the conditioning materials necessary

for a fertilizer nitrate.

Hog MarketingWith a 1943 spring .pig crop of

74,050,000, the government is mak-ing every effort to assure an orderlymarketing of hogs and preventheavy runs in December and Janu-ary. To achieve this end, industry

j representatives have banded intoI committees at 14 key terminal cen-j ters to advise producers on ship-ments. As a further aid, the WarFood administration will releasemarketing instructions throughpress and radio.

Complicating the marketing situa-tion is the fact that the record pigcrop must be handled in the face ofstrained transportation facilities and

| manpower shortages. Storage of thepork and by-products for civilian,military and Jend-lease use also willtax refrigerator capacity.

It is pointed out that orderly mar-j keting will assure producers of 200

to 270-pound weights of the mini-mum government support price of$13.75, Chicago basis.

H I G H L I G H T S in the week's news

SACRIFICE: Crewmen of a Fly-• ing Fortress in England saved thetown of Wargrave from heavy dam-

;age at the cost of their own lives.They guided the plane, which wasJust taking off on a raid, over the'housetops, and jettisoned theirbombs in the river, just before the

; plane exploded. One man parachut-ed to safety, but the others werekilled.

REWARD: An 11-year-old NewYork office boy, earning $5 a week,found a pouch containing some jew-els. They were diamond rings andpins valued at $115,000. He receivednine crisp $100 bills, and two fifties.

HELP WANTED: For the firsttime in the history of the anthracitecoal industry, mine operators areadvertising for mine workers in thenewspapers.

Guy Gillette

1 Farm SpeculationTo prevent "destructive specula-

tion," Senator Guy Gillette, Iowa,has introduced legis-lation under which aseller would pay a10 per cent resaletransfer tax on thepurchase price offarm land, when theproperty has beenacquired after thepassage of the actand resold within ayear. The legislationwonld expire twoyears after the war.Under another plan,Gillette said, profiton a transactionwould be absorbedby a tax ranging up to 100 per cent.

NATIONAL GRANGE:Goss Re-elected

Meeting in Grand Rapids, Mich.,for its 77th annual convention, theNational Grange re-elected AlbertGoss, Washington, D. C., as master.

Goss highlighted the conventionby calling for congressional revisionof the present parity formula,which, he asserted, fails to includefarm labor costs; wrongly assumesthat farm income for the ba^e pe-riod of 1909-'14 was in proper pro-portion to non-farm income; is basedupon price rather than income, andis obsolete because the relative val-ue of commodities has changedgreatly in recent years.

Also elected were David Agans,Three Bridges, N. H., overseer: W.G. Armstrong, Niles, Mich., treas-urer; Harry C. Caton, Coshocton,Ohio, secretary; and Mrs. BessieSeebert, Chichako, Okla.; Mrs.Blanche D. Newsom, Columbus,Ind.; Mrs. Alice Pearson, Miami,Fla.; and Eugene A. Eckert, Mas-coutah, 111., national committeemen.

WORLD RELIEF:Study Financing

While President Roosevelt calledupon congress to authorize appropri-ations to finance America's share ofthe United Nations Relief and Re-habilitation administration, theUNRRA considered various propo-sals for raising funds to carry outthe program during its meetings inAtlantic City, N. J.

Saying it is hoped "a small frac-tion of the national income" of thecontributing member nations of theUNRRA will be sufficient for itswork, President Roosevelt definedthe organization's purpose as an en-deavor "to help the liberated peo-ples to help themselves, so that theymay have the strength to undertakethe task of rebuilding their destroyedhomes, their ruined factories, andtheir plundered farms."

UNRRA studied three proposalsfor raising funds: 1. Assessment ofmember nations on the basis of percapita income; 2. Member nations'contributions of 1 per cent of theirnational income; 3. Assessmentsagainst foreign trade figures of themember nations.

U.S. PLANES:Wings on Guns9

So well are U. S. fighting planesarmed, that it can be said Amer-ican engineers are designing gunsand putting wings on them.

With that statement, Army AirForce Technician Col. Frank C.Wolfe listed 19 reasons for U. S.planes' tremendous firepower.

Among the reasons were hydraulicand electrically operated gun tur-rets with multiple gun installations;increased firepower for nose and tailpositions of all types of bombers;improved computing sights for allgun positions; fighter gun sightswhich extend present sightingranges; improvements in armorplate and bullet resistant glass; re-mote control and fire control sys-tems.

No less than 70 types of aircraftare being tested at army fields, Colo-nel Wolfe said, with approved typessent to battle zones for additionaltryouts before being finally put intoproduction.

Cover CropFor large gardens, in which con-

siderable area is harvested beforemid-September, a cover crop of ryemay well be planted to furnish hu-mus for next year, and to keep downweeds. In small gardens that con-tain many late crops such as car-rots, beets, kale, and brusselssprouts, a cover crop may not bepractical, and a compost heap mayprove to be a simpler means of sup-plying garden humus.

veals that deer herds in Oklahomaare making "a good substantialcomeback," with a larger fawncrop this year than for many yearsback.
