KEEPING PRICES DOWN

Cost of living in the United States
and Great Britain is following much
the same course as it did in the World
War, the National Industrial Confer
ence Board says.
Costs are up here A per cent since
August, 1889, and the rise is con-
tinuing. In the first two years of the
World War, costs rose per cent.
They kept going up with increasing
velocity until June, 1920, when they
reached ceiling 101 per cent above
the level for July, 1914.
The nation wants none of that kind
of imitation now. The government is
seeking to prevent it by fighting un-
justified price hikes. Admittedly it
faces a tough job. The American Fed
Grafton of Labor is cooperating by
asking affiliated unions to report all
unreasonable price jumps. Local unions
and individual members everywhere

SAVING LIVES AND GAS

Why not save gasoline for defense
needs by slowing down our automo-
biles? asks the Washington Daily
News.
Well, why not? That slower speeds
would help is shown by the recent
statement of the American Automo-
bile Association that motorists could
conserve at least one-fifth of the fuel
they are now using by avoiding high
speeds on the open highways and by
being less hasty on the getaway while
driving in cities.
Besides, what is even more impor-
tant than saving gasoline, slowing
down automobiles would save lives.
A large proportion of auto accidents
are due to excessive speed, the Trav-
elers Insurance Company has found.
America is making bad traffic ac-
cident record this year, with auto
deaths already running 1900 ahead of
1940 Slowing down would improve
the record from now on and be real

Beer Sales Show Rise,
Say Columbus Reports

Columbus, Ohio.-More out of-state
beer is being sold in Ohio in 1941 than
was sold in 1910, a check of excise tax
figures shows, but Ohio brewers are
also exporting" more of the native
product than they did one year ago.
Ohio brewers sold 1904 barrels of
beer outside the state in the first four
months of 1910, and increased this
figure to 292,269 barrels for the same
period in 1941. Foreign brewers sold
186,905 barrels in Ohio during the
first four months of 1910, and they
also increased the total to 210,941 bar
rels for January-April inclusive, 1941.

From time to time, complaint has
been made that the government has
not given the nation all the facts on
the world situation and the part the
United States is playing in it. Many
of the complaints, it is true, have
come from opponents of the govern
ment's policies, but some have come
from its supporters.
Qualified observers in Washington
say there is good basis for the COM
plants, of course admitting that in
some cases, facts, especially those
dealing with military and naval do
ings, can't be made public, for OBJ
vious reasons. However, they assert
the government has not been as frank
as it could and should have been.
1t is significant that the American
Federation of Labor, staunch sup
porter of the governments policies,
feels that the complaint is justified
and believes that more frankness is
needed. This feeling is expressed by
it's comment in the current "Labor's
Monthly Survey" in which it says:
"Wage earners and all other Amer
leans feel they have right to know
the facts of the international situa-
ti0n which so yitally concerns them.
They expect the government to trust
them to respond in accord with the
need disclosed by the facts presented.
By presenting the facts, the admins
tration can unity and galvanize the
nation into responsible action"
Australia's prime minister, Robert
G. Menzies, recent visitor to the
United States, has announced his gov
ernment has forbidden strikes and
lockouts in war industries and that
the government would have the right
to seize plants and factories where
such occurrences are slowing down
production.
This is a drastic move for demo-
cratic Australia, whose workers have
been reported to be Loyalty and whole
heartedly behind the nations war eff
fort. 1t indicates there have been

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

spired by Nazi-Communist elements,
which exist in Australia as in other
countries.
Australia's action shows what may
happen in any democracy, including
the United States. It's portent is plain
to all and constitutes caution to la
bor against work stoppages until ev-
cry recourse of mediation and concili-
alton have been exhausted Other
wise repressive legislation may follow.
How tolerance of lynching and other
forms of mob action play into the
hands of the totalitarian enemies of
America is pointed out by the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, in letter to
President Roosevelt registering pro-
test against the lynching of A. C. Will
liams at Quincy, Fla, in May.
After voicing it's protest and ask
ing for positive action by the Presi-
dent and the Department of Justice,
the letter declared:
"We are concerned with lynching as
it relates to the aims of our national
defense effort. You have said that
every man, woman and child has
stake in this effort. You have
pictured the struggle as one to pre-
serve the democratic freedoms against
the assault of the forces of oppres-
sion, brutality and death.
"In this immense effort our country
is weakened morally and physically
by the lynchers who kill at their whim,
and by officers of the law who make
no effort to protect their prisoners or
to arrest the lynchers. Into the hands
of Virginio Gayda and Paul Joseph
Goebbels the Florida mob and all other
mobs have thrust the answer to Amer
ica's protestations and actions in the
international conflict.
ga pronouncement from the Chief
Executive on this crime would hearten
those Americans who abhor lynching
and who stand defenseless before the
gibes of those who regard our coun-
try's defense philosophy as hypo-
critical"
