THE LATEST EDITION of La

are only two ways i'm which wage
increases can cause imitation. (D
by giving workers so much money
to spend that they are willing to
pay more than ceiling prices for
scarce goods, and SO break price
ceilings; (2) by increasing the en-
ployers' costs so that he has to raise
prices to meet expenses. The Sur

paid in war bonds, not cashabIe

impossible for wage increases to be

profits in the fabulous realms.
there's plenty of room for industry
to adjust wages without increasing
prices.

Admirable support is provided by

marked by innovations, the program

forms Alfred Lunt into an acrobat

'The Pirate" is q streamlined de-

steps as an actor, was a member of
the cast.

memorable moments of a romantic
drama of pure escape.
1T all concerns what happens to
Serafin (Alfred Lunt), who leads his
Vagabond mines to little village on
the isle of Santo Domingo. There
lives Pedro, the pirate, with his high
seas loot and the reputation of
being the solid man of the commu-
nifty. His wife, Manuela Gynn Fon-
tanne), is a frustrated woman who
finds comfort in the illusions created
by reading of Estramudo, a bold
buccaneer whose most astonishing
feat was to escape from the Sultan's
harem with nine of his wives.
Serafin's courtship of Manuela is
lmpulsive and ardent, helped some
whaS by the fact that he at once
recognizes the lazy and portly Pedro
as the highwayman of the oceans.
This double impersonation provides
the frail plot substance of the first

wisdom, enlivened more by the the
