Holding Prices Down

The only excuse. socially speaking. for big business
that by producing goods in quantity and efficiently they
made cheaper and therefore readily available
more people
When big business becomes a monopoly, however, its
tendency is to hold prices up high the traffic will bear
without actually hating consumption That is the tradi-
tiona explanation of the way the system works
Right in the face of the theory there flies the Au
mnum Co. of America which is certainly big business
and generally regarded monopoly producer of virgin
aluminium Three times during the past year the company
has reduced its prices for aluminium ngo thus making
voluntary reduction in the companys income for the
year of perhaps S.. 100000.
What goes here! Is the idea spreading that even
big business make money in the long run by
reducing passing to the the savings of
production and trusting greater sales volume

Behind this exchange of court
estes lies an international story.
The L. S. is cuddling up TO
Mexico TO prevent the use of its
oil and its bases by foreign
powers. especially Japan and
Germany. Uncle Sam plans to
advance Mexico loans and pro-
lection in return for guarantees
that it will align with us in re-
sisting the dietators. f. d. r.
now eontemplates a triple de
Tense pact involving Canada, the
United States and Mexico
President-elect Camacho has
agreed to this program. He has
tied his fortunes TO Uncle Sans.
Which means that he will de
prive both Japan and Germany
of supplies of oil and bases they
sadly need. In short. F. D. r.
has. it appears, cut Mexico out
of the German-Japanese orbit.
Unless something goes wrong.
Uncle Sam VIII now dominate

pletely.
President Roosevelt Will sub
NIT a new ST. Lawrence treaty
to the next senate. despite that
body's previous refusal To ratify
the agreement for development
of power and navigation on the
river lying between this nation
and Canada. F. D. r. confidently
expects approval on the next try
because he will submit the pro-
posal as a national defense
measure
Some weeks ago F. D. r, on
the ground of national defense
needs, set aside 81 900 900 for
test borings, taking the funds
from Army Engineers appropri-
atoms. The money was not spent
for test. borings. II was ex-
pended for digging designed 10

predicted, used these funds under
the guise Of national emer-
gency TO put through a domestic
project.
The proposed power and nsvi-
gational improvement is admit
teddy a major national defense
gain. On that score there Is no
objection to IT. But II has
aroused severe opposition among
eastern and middle western
shipping interests. and the sub
mission Of this program may
spark the first and most bitter

session.

PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
PARK AVE. PAVING
AND WATER MAINS

Editor. The Times: The paw
ing of Park avenue has been a
burning issue for years and IL
was again discussed at a meet
ing in Park Avenue school last
Friday where the commissioner
of public utilities appeared to
explain and answer questions.
But at that meeting the main
issue was sidetracked by the
wooden service water main from
4sth 10 6sth from which the
surrounding territory is served
and the small main along Park
avenue from ssth TO 99th which
has to be replaced But let us
make clear that those two pieces
of pipe have nothing to do with
the main issue, the removal of
the old 5-foot gravity main
which is solely the work laid out
for Mr.. ONeil.
There is no sense in replac-
In any of the service mains till
that is done. We had an abso-
lutte promise from Mr.. Davisson
that ne would do that work in
l940-41 and now II is up TO Mr..
O'Neil TO show what he can do.
The talk about the two service
main just beclouds the issue and
We suggest that the property
owners along Park avenue re-
fuse to sign any petition for an

too many times so let us not be
fooled again. The first move is
up to Mr., O'Neil.

Is through. We wish to remind
Bergerson to be ready for his
part and save all the gas money
he can for Park avenue. Then

with the paving. then and only
then. will II be necessary to

A valve was opened on the
tank - and out from the hose

The steelheads ranged in size
