of their remaining contests and
Brooklyn lose their six games to
break even.

Trade Rise Declared
Assured for Next
Two Years
New Peak Since 1929
Cited by United
Business Service
Special Dispat Itch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BOSTON, Oct. 1.-THE business
upswing is accelerating, and activity
in general is moving into new high
ground since 1929, says the United
Business Service in its current
weekly report.
The service points out that the
defense stimulus has now reached
a point where full-scale operations
are assured in practically all key
industries over the next two years
regardless of foreign developments.
Consumer purchasing power, ac-
cording to Government estimates, is
now about per cent above a year
ago and at the highest level since
1880. On the other hand. investor
confidence continues to be restrained
by prospects of rising tax, wage,
and material costs, further regimen
tation and price controls, and by
election uncertainties.
Commenting on the outlook for
wheat prices the service states that
the rise in prices above the loan
Evening star., 1940-10-14

level raises the question whether
farmers will continue to place large
amounts of wheat under loan or
take advantage of the higher price
in the open market. North Ameri-
can wheat supplies are we'll in ex-
cess of needs, and Britain is the
only large buyer left in the export
market. If these we're the only fac
tors, sellers would obviously avail
themselves of the cash market
premium.
However, the defense program is
carrying business and buying power
to new peaks. War disturbances in
the Pacific may shut of Australian
wheat from Great Britain. More
over. the Government loan is a
guarantee against loss, although the
benefits of a price rise go to the
borrower. Thus, the movement into
loan stocks will continue liberal
All things considered, the evidence
points to near-term market irregu-
larity with the probability of some
what higher prices by next spring"

Textile World Editor

Special Dispa tch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. Oct l4.-Govern-
ment, industry and labor have to
make up their minds Immediately
how the national defense bill is to
be paid, states Douglas G. Woolf
editor of Textile World, in the
October issue of that publication
just out. And he urges the hard
way"-the pay-as-you-go method.
Pointing out that the textile in
dustry is in the midst of good times
and that it has better times ahead,
due to a considerable extent to the
impetus of the defense program, Mr..
Woolf warns nevertheless that this
defense bill will have to be paid.
You just can't build up non
productive enterprises without plac-
ing a corresponding burden upon
existing productive enterprises" he
states. You can't spend billions
on military and naval preparedness
without paying the bill sometime,

Just what percentage of a SOL

have to carry on his back depends
upon how long the emergency lasts
AT the moment, it looks as If it
will last plenty long The news OF
Japan Joining the axis powers ex-
tends that probability far more than
most of us realize at the moment
or would like to admit.
Points to Two Ways.
There are two ways in which we
can pay the bill.
"One is by a period of imitation.
such as that of the 1920s. followed
by period of def1ation. such as
that of the l930s. Any one who likes
that method can have it.
The other way is to look ahead
now; to realize that we have to pay
the bill eventually, 50 why not now.
In other words, to pay as We 60.
That means, in essence. that We
would have to forego out-of-llne
profits for capital and out-of-line
wages for workers. 1t means We
would have to buckle our belts a
little tighter and be prepared for a
somewhat decreased standard Of liv-
ing. But that decrease would be
nothing, compared with the collapse
in living standards which We might
have to take in the grim l950s, let
us say, after another binge in the
194Os.
In other words, do we want to
follow the pattern Of the last emer-
gency and its after effects. or create
new pattern, a little harder at
the start, but much less disastrous
at the end-and certainly more dis
tinctly American?
ITO this writer, there is no ques-
ton as to the choice.
Economy Necessary.
From a national standpoint this
means that the Federal Government
will have to stop its expenditures
of billions upon productive, but
vote getting, projects, and concen-
trate its appropriations upon Cd
defense and % only those func-
tions of Government essential to
the national welfare.
From the narrower standpoint of
the textile industry it means that
textile manufacturers will have to
snuff out excessive production-and
price policies before they come into
being, and devote their energies to
sane management policies of mod
ernization and efficiency.
1T also means that textile en-
ployes will have to be satisfied with
the gains they have made in the last
decade and not exploit this new
emergency for their own ends. This
