VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

Secretary of Commerce Jesse
Jones wasn't exaggerating when he
predicted that this would be the
most prosperous Christmas in his
tory.
Economists of the federal reserve
board, commerce and labor depart
ments estimate a Yuletide business
season surprising even the peak in
1929. According to their private fig
ureS, dollar sales will about equal
1929, but business volume will be
considerably heavier (l940 price lev
els are nearly 20 per cent lower).
That is, each dollar spent will buy
about one-fifth more than it did in
the last of the boom years.
This is the way the experts fore
cast the Christmas season.:
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of the vast
defense program, employment will
be greater this month than at any
time since 1929, with more than ST.
000,0 900 (excluding temporary Christ
mas employees) on private payrolls
an increase of 100000 over De-
cember, 1889.
Manufacturing payrolls
will be II per cent greater than last
December. That means SOS, 900, 900
more week will be paid in wages
to industrial workers.
Retail trade-Sales generally will
be from 8 to 10 per cent greater
than 1899. Department store sales
will be per cent more than last
Christmas, but still under record
breaking 1929. On the other hand,
mail order and variety store sales
will be the highest in history.
A very Merry Christmas, indeed.

PARITY PAYMENTS

Farm legislation for the new con-
gress is still chiefly in the talk"
stage, but one thing can be put down
as definite: The parity payment pro-
gram at best is due for a big slash.
In the new budget now being
framed, parity payments are not en-
tirely eliminated, but they are cut
to the bone. Instead of the S212,-
100000 voted last spring, the figure
under consideration is only $50, 000,-
900. And even this isn't certain.
1t is entirely possible, under the
policy of holding down all normal"
expenditures to the bone to provide
more funds for defense, that the
parity item may be eliminated en-
tirely before the budget is finished.
Some congressional farm leaders
are making no secret of their desire
to supplant parity loans with a
more financially sound plan. Chief
among them is Rep. Hampton Full
mer of South Carolina, new chair
man of the house agriculture COM
mittee, who is strong advocate of
the Income certificate plan"
This is a modified version of the
old AAA processing tax under which
professors would pay growers the
difference between the market price
and parity, in certificates purchased
from the government.

wILLKIE AND NEW CHAIRMAN

There is a sputtering of ire among
Republican national committeeman
when they heard that Wendell Will
kie considers it his right to name
the successor to National Chairman
Joe Martin, who wants to quit in
order to give all his time to bossing
the house Republicans.
Willkie picked Martin. and now
takes the position that he also is
entitled to select Martins successor.
But to the hard-headed political
professionals, a candidate running
for office and defeated candidate
are horses of entirely different col
ors. The first is potential incun-
bent who may have patronage and
favors to dispense, and therefore
commands the right to call the tune.
But a defeated standard-bearer is
a has-been, and the boys are not in
terested in faded hopes.
So Wilkes claim to continued
party leadership is meeting with
very glacial response. When he told
some of the national committeeman
that they should name the man he
wants, the boys tactfully, but point
eddy, replied that the national COM
mittee is an elected body and alone
has the power to fill craftsmanship
vacancy.

MARTINS SUCCESSOR

Martin is very eager to shed him
self of the craftsmanship.
The undercover maneuvering for
the strategic place already is hot.
Tom Dewey, Governor Bricker of
Ohio, Sen. Bob Taft, Senator Van
denberg and others, with 1914 in
mind, each is determined that no
one hostile to him shall get it. The
situation calls for a neutral, or
someone acceptable to combina-
ton of the leaders.
Martin privately is afraid that it
won't be possible to find either and
that to avoid battle-royal he will
be stuck as national chairman for
some time to come.

Popular Candidate on the LABEL
For Free Albania of its morn
Modern Jeremiah ing coat, with
murmurs mingling with the bird
song and the hum of the bees, heard
through the open windows. The i'm
peccable and somewhat desiccated
Sir Eric Drummond, who played
closer to his immaculate white vest
than any living man, was presiding
watchfully against any untoward
in syntax or punctilio, or move to-
ward any overt suggestion or act.
There arose among the dele
gates a great, shaggy bearded
man who started the windows
rafting with his booming voice.
He said: "You are just blowing
bubbles. Your talk is hot air.
You have done and will do moth
ing for peace. You know that
the Dawes plan is doomed. You
know that all treaties are des-
tined for the waste basket"
1t was long, masterful and pun
ishing philippe, delivered in a fin
ished Harvard accent. Sir Eric was
almost a hospital case.
The Jeremiah was Bishop Fan
Stylian Noli, of the Albanian Ortho-
dox church, and it is Bishop Noi,
now supposedly living in Boston,
who is named in a London cable
to the New York Sun, as the popu-
lar candidate for a liberated Alba
mia. With the aid of the Greeks,
the hope of Albanian liberation is
warming up daily, here and abroad.
The huge, ruddy warrior-bishop, a
medieval man with modern ideas,
never has been caught in the feudal
tensions and confusion of Balkan
politics. He is genuine ibertarian
and democrat, recruiting Moslems
as well as Christians in his long
running fight for modern free state
hood for his country. His League
of Nations speech was shushed in
Europe, but all of it finally filtered
through to American newspapers. It
was the voice of a major prophet,
as startling as the little Pickering
cinema spot on the walls of Belshaz-
Ears palace.
If the bishop should reclaim and
redeem Albania, America would get

way, and it was in that year, that
he was invested with the robes Of
its priesthood.

dent Albanian gunner. On this
and many other occasions, he
blasted Albania S dude monarch,
Ahmed Zog much as he had
blasted the tit-tat-toe assembly
of the league. But he changed
hotels frequently and mysteri-
ously, as for many years he has
had death close on his heels.
And it was in 1881 that he said
that Premier Mussolini would

ready and that ZopsS goyorp

havior. Hence it was a most ex-
traordinary slip when he broadcast
to the world details of where Ger
man bombs had fallen. The min
istry of information, of which Sir
Philip is a member, had been
clamping down the censorship lid
and British papers were printing
German communicates, as the only
news available. American newspa-
per men, sharply at odds with the
censorship about getting news from
Germany, are acclaiming Sir Philip
for a tumble which they think was
in the public interest. It seems to
be his first tumble.

NAACP In New

By LEON LEWIS

tural" boycott of the Auditorium
accommodation offered for Ne
groes On taking this action, the
city's prominent men of clergy ask
ed that their names not be used in
the endorsement of the NAACP
venture.
The backtracking occurred dur
ing the meeting in which Rev. w.
r. Handy was elected president of
the Alliance on Tuesday Of last
week.
j. E. "Chummy" Wilkins appear
ed before the ministers to argue his
case and in a suave manner influ-

of the local NAACP) proposed
fight to a bitter end.

Justices" he said. "We will not
listen to a colored artist from bal
cony Seats" Meanwhile Negroes
were still pouring in The Louisiana
Weekly office purchasing reserva-
tions to hear Marian Anderson on
May 6.
The charge of inconsistency con-
tinued to be murmured about the
city.
Several stated, mot only are they
trying vainly to embarrass Miss
Anderson and stamp upon them
selves the mark of uninfluentlal
leadership but they have flirteo
with city ordinance violations IN
distributing libelous matter without
a permit throughout New Orleans
This was explained to be the
mimeographed bulletin advocating
the boycott and inclusion OF ac'
cusation against the Orpheum the
atre which has no part whatever
in the Marian Anderson promotion
According to the Anderson man
agement Negroes will be employed

Organize To
Fight Slave
Mart In N. Y.

NEW YORK-(A N PA CITY,
wide movement to wipe out the i'll
famed slave mart" of the Bronx,
this city, was launched this week
With election Of officers of the
Citizens Comllittee for the I'M
provement of Conditions of Do
tmeStic Workers, held at the
Bronx YMCA.
A survey by a committee of ten
dealing with conditions affecting
those who obtain their employ
ment by standing on street cor
ners, selling their services to the
highest bidders, was embodied in
a report which will be submitted
to the labor committee which au-
thorized it. Details are being held
confidential until the report has
heen presented to State Labor
Commissioner Frieda Miller.
Rev. Elder Hawkins, minister of
ST.. Augustine'S Presbyterian
church, (white) chairman of the
group, told reporters that the
movement carried the endorsement
of many of the clergymen through
out the city, together with public
spirited citizens and welfare
workers.
The committee stated that they
hoped to provide competent hon.
est help and will demand adequate
remuneration for the workers. II
!, is also believed that the movement
will promote better understanding
between domestic and their en-
plOyers.
The so-called "slave mart" ha'
been termed a blot on the city IL
that they fostered exploitation O
domestics, compelling them to worl
under trying conditions for a mer
pittance. Domestic workers, Il
