Figures
What TheyMeon
BY JOHN l.. BECKLEY,

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-The ques-
ton Of how much steel will be taken
by domestic consumers for civilian
use appears to be the crux of the
present dilemma in the steel indus
try.
If the industry's estimates of civil
ian needs are correct, there will be
enough steel for everyone during
the coming year. If. on the other
hand, those of certain economists
are right. the defense boom will
step up consumer demand to such
pitch there will be a shortage.
II the steel industry's estimates of
demand are accurate, the present
buying rush for steel could develop
into a very heavy inventory situa-
ton. Trade sources say that steel
consumers are loading up because
they fear a pinch when the national
defense program hits full stride.
Some buyers are insisting that
their orders be accepted for steel
for the second and third quarters.
A few want to buy enough for the
remainder Of the year.
The result has been to create
rather hysterical situation among
many steel users. trade sources say.
When this wave of inventory buying
has passed. many observers believe
steel making facilities will show
themselves adequate for all needs.

LONDON, Jan. 20-Security prices
wavered today after last weeks
sharp advance. RecesSions in some
groups accompanied virtual cessation
of business.
British government bonds were
firm exceptions with rises of as much
as 4 point. The national defense
212s made the best showing.
Kaffrs stumbled at the outset on
Cape Town offerings and dropped
further later when local selling de-
veloped. Diamond stocks, however,
were firm following reports of larger
sales of raw diamonds.
Small selling orders accounted
from many losses in the industrial
division, although industrial and
building shares held their ground.
Some of the selling represented
profit taking.
Among domestic rails Junior issues
were trimmed fractiOnally. Oils,
notably Mexican and Canadian
Eagle, held steady.

in moderately active dealings today.
Trade and mill demand induced by

Distant months sagged under ac-

ports from London that the British

when THE REASONABLE
BECOMES UNREASONABLE

When man owns property, the pre-
sumption is that he need part with it
only on terms which he believes reason
able in view of his own needs and the in
ducement offered.
The great resources of the worlds ma
tural wealth are perhaps not quite on so
simple basis. Any reasonable person
would agree that it is wrong for any
people to sit on indispensable quantities
of the worlds resources and to deny them
to other peoples. One of the worlds needs
is some means of better distributing and
making available the raw materials of
the world.
The pitiful part of it is that the basis
for such a reasonable solution has been
destroyed, and destroyed by the very
people who stand to profit most by such
q solution. Japan's demands" on the
Dutch East Indies for a share in the ex-
ploitation of the riches of that region are
quite reasonable on their face. They want
to provide entry of japanese into the
islands for commrcial work, entry of Jap
anese ships to East Indies ports, coast
wise navigation priviledges, fishing privi-
ledges, and the like. Entirely reasonable,
but
Unfortunately over the past 10 years,
Japan has destroyed the reputation of
uSI pcOpie DIS Wiling W COUllUe lleI1l-
selves to these legitimate and reasonable
objectives. Does not the world know
what Japanese business men do in a
strange country beside business? Does it
not know what Japanese ships and fish
ing vessels do in strange waters beside
fish?
Is anyone ignorant of what citizens of
Hitler Germany do in foreign lands beside
what the rest of the world considers le
gitimate business? When every drummer,
every fisherman, every consul, every trav-
eler, is an agent for international revo-
luton, for government spying, for do
mestic intrigue and the sowing of dissen-
sion, then business is no longer business.
That is the tragedy.
Representatives of totalitarian powers
have long since proved that no one can
trust them to be what they seem to be,
to carry on simply the business they say
they wish to carry on.
That is why demands, reasonable on
their face, are not really reasonable or
even tOlerable, and must be refused.

CRIME-WHOLESALE AND RETAIL

A little exchange of pleasantries has
been going on between the Albanian, the
excellent magazine published by the in
mates of Atlanta Penitentiary, and Hit
ler's Voelkische Beobachter.
The Atlanta prisoners make certain
articles useful in national defense. Three
months ago they posted up an uncompli-
mentary cartoon of Hitler in their shops.
Production jumped more than 25 per
cent. News of this went to Germany
whose Voelische Beobachter rallied at the
Atlantians, saying, "1n the name of cul-
ture and civilization, Negroes and immi-
grants, deserters and Palestine Jews have
been called in against us. But the mobii-
zation of penitentiary inmates against
Hitler remained for the Aemrican Presi-
dent to discover"
The Albanian replied in its current
issue: Imagine THEM calling US thieves
and murderers :. No wonder they look
upon US through the slightly biased squint
with which the big-timer naturally views
the small-timer. :. For once we're on the
right side of the fence, even if it does
enclose US"
For our money, the Atlanta prisoners
win that round.
