GOOD REIMBURSEMENT AID.
VICE

In It's monthly report. 'he National
CITY bank Of New IorH makes some
very pointed observations on the FSau-
Jrstment question. First OF all. inc

of course an economic impoSS'p"''E :,
p,itbar th, Industries that have rcdu'e'
,hair. costs must get back 70 the o'u
levels or the ones that have not must
come down. 1t is fairly obvious that no
industry that has readjust"d us costs
can revise them upward.
As or answer TO the question. men

As 10 the reluctance Of some COM

ant that these employers cannot hope
