last two years have been cloaked
by military censorship. But, one
official report before the Soviet
entered the war against Germany
is perhaps significant 1t said:
Two hundred new plants were
! built in the Urals between 1899
and 1910"
Today, this new Ural industrial
area has some Is cities, of from
$4,000 to 100000 population, with
names that have not appeared in
the communicates thus far and
which must be sought on the map.
They include: Sverdlovsk, Chelia-
binsk, Molotov, Ufa, Nishni-Tagil,
Magnitogorsk, Orsk and Stalinsk.
RESOURCES TREMENDOUS
The resources of the area are
tremendous, even when propaganda
is discounted. Most hopeful, from
the point of view of supplying
mechanized and air armies, was the
discovery of oil in 1929 in Ural
fields of such extent that the area
is known as a second Baku.' Baku
and Grozny in the Caucasus have
together been producing scme 85
per cent of the Soviet's petroleum
products.
Metals in the Ural area provide
its richest resources, and the mines
at the outbreak of the war, were
Welding 80 per cent of its iron
IS per cent o its copper, plus
aluminium, chrome, manganese
nickel.
Coal and electric power have
also been developed in the Ural
area. With the removal of some
manufacturing and processing
plants from western Russia. 1t
has now supposedly been possible
to integrate the entire Ural area
into an industrial district that is
to large extent selfsufficient.

TELEGRAMS SING NO MC2E
(Christian Science Monitor)

christian Science Monitor)
The tale of the four-and-twenty black
birds popping up singing out of the
kings pie has intrigued many young
ster, as we'll as young oldster So when
the modern scheme was cooked up for
making a little black instrument burst
into song in a specified ear, it was not
surprising that it caught Onto some
extent.
But occasionally those on the receiv-
ing end have boen anything but charmed
More than one executive, Interrupted in
a business discussion by the ringing of
the telephone, has picked up the inno-
cent-looking receiver, and then sat out
wardly mute but inwardly voluble, as
the strains of Happy Birthday to You
reached not only his ears, but those of
his amused conferees.
Thus the passing of the singing tele-
gram, due to war measures, does not
cause unalloyed regret. An acceptable
substitute would be Victory song with
out words, conveyed by war stamps.

STABILlzING WAGES
DIFFICULT PROBLEM

After months Of puzZling, and
much reading of speeches and consulta-
ton with authorities, perhaps we have
found the legitimate line OF dcmarcatlon
between two approaches to the problem
of wartime wages.
There has been a great deal of talk
about wage freeZng, on the one hand, ana
wage sterilization on the other SO lar
as most of the definition went, these
seemed to be different names Tor the
same thng-though proponents OF stab
ilization expressed intense dislike TOR
freezing" and the freezers were cold
toward "stabilization."
Now it appears that the freezers would
have every wage, high or low, pegged
right where it is until the danger of in
flation is past. The stabiliZers, on the
other hand, would have adequate wages
pegged, but would permit the raising of
substandard wages to the level OF ade-
quacy.
On that basis, few could argue success
fully against the advocates OF stablllza-
ton One could, however, easily throw
the convention into turmoil by lnqulrlng
where substandard wages end and ade-
quate wages begin.
President Roosevelt appears to be in
the Stabilization camp.
The President appointed the War La
Dor Board, and that body is responsible
to him. In sort of vague, fOrmless way,
the WLB appears to be under mandate
to stabilize wages.
So what does the board do? 1t gathers
roots and herbs and fragrant grasses,
stews them in copper ketter in the light
of a quarter-eclipsed moon, and brings
forth a potion guaranteed to cure every
thing from static to initiation.
We are handed, with Explanatory
text, a formula for wage "Stabllizatlon
which pegs wages at the Jan. l, 1941,
level plus a percentage determined by
the intervening rise in the cost of living.
Little Steels employees, among the
highest paid, get the raise. Big Steels
can not be denied their Just due. Neither
can General Motors or Ford's or Chrys-
ler's-all among our highest paid work
erS.
On the other hand a VIGOROUSLY sub
standard wage scale employer, who shall
be nameless, is asked for raises. Check
ing his payrolIs, he finds that by giving
a few men and women few cents more a
day, he will have satisfied the WLB's
cost of living formula. He gives the
raises, and that's all.
The cost of living has risen Is per
cent So the prosperous craftsmen, re-
ceiving sometimes as much as 1925 a
week with overtime, is entitled to 15 per
cent raise. The poor unOrganlZed work
er, getting S18 a week, also is entitled to
Is per cent raise-if he can get it.
We hope this explanation of how wage
stabilzation works will clarity all of
our readers minds answer all of their
questions, and show how initiation is being
fought

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

when Mrs. America started
counting up the new skills she had
acquired in the last year she could
MT help feeling little proud OF
herself.
She had learned enough first aid
so that she wouldn't stand and
wiring her hands if she should see
someone badly :!urt.
She had learned how to make
sick patients comfortable.
She had learned what to do If
an incendiary bomb should fall on
the roof of her house.
She had learned what is under
the hood of her automobile, and
how to change tire.
BACK TO THE SIMPLE LIFE
She had learned how to grow
something for her dining room ta-
BILE besides a floral centerpiece.
She had learned to can fruits and
vegetables.
She had learned to knit.
She had learned simple gard
stick for a balanced diet.
She had learned to carry her
own packages instead of saying
Send it, please"
She had learned to get places
without a car.
She had learned to put the money
she would like to spend on a new
hat into war bonds.
She had learned to save-every-
thing from paper to bacon and
grease.
She had learned how to ride a
bicycle-if not with grace, still
without serious accident,
That is quite list for one years
time. No wonder Mrs. America
feels she is quite girl.

SUMMERS BEST NEWS
ABOUT SUB SINKINGS
(OroVille Mercury


Best news of the week--of the month
or summer for that matter-is the an
nouncement of the British admiralty that
July and August were record-breaking
months in the destruction of Axis sub
marines. The announcement said that the
German U-boats have not turned their
offensive back ito their more usual
haunts" This was taken to indicate that
they have lightened their attacks along
the L. S. Atlantic coast.
If we are going to win the war we
must make defeat of the submarines our
first objective. Until we defeat the subs
we cannot deliver the men nor the goods.
No matter how effectively our industry
works, if we cannot place our men Oh
our arms overseas in contact with the
enemy in sufficient numbers, then all is
futile.
If, as indicated, we are on the way to-
wards victory over the submarines, then
we are overcoming the first great OBJ
tacle, and our war effort thus far has
not been in vain.
