Director General Hines of the railroads
announces that preliminary figures on
the operation of the roads for the month
of July show net surplus OF two
million dollars. This does not take into
account the increase of four cents per
hour offered the shopmen, and not yet
accepted by them, which may turn the
surplus into deficit of about the same
amount. This is interesting and pleas
ant, If not indeed surprising, but even
IL there is a little surplus like that in
one of the most favorable operating
months of the year, il constitutes no
argument for government ownership or
operation.

1t is interesting to read on apparently
good authority that 'there is no national
sugar shortage imminent in the United
States, and in no year since the begin
ming of the war has there been country
wide shortage" also that what regional
shortages did occur were due to NAL
adjustments in distribution" etc., but
that doesn't help out much when you
can't buy sugar in the canning season.

A "hunger strike" is suggested by one
newspaper as a remedy for profteering.
That is, have the people go on half
rstions, as soldiers and others sometimes
have to do for a while, without serious
detriment, and prices will come down.
That might be arranged if nine tenths of
the people were fanatics or zealots.
Under existing conditions, the walking
delegates would have the toughest job
