If SO, the field of clothing, where
WPB did establish standards, is the
ideal place for applying dollars and
cents ceilings. But that wasn't done
in this little-noticed regulation. It
was significant not so much in the
price increase it granted, but in doing
it on margin basis and not a dol
lars-and-cents basis.
There is no real price control in
the apparel field. There won't be with
out these dollars-and-cents ceilings.
And If they're not put in here, they
won't be enforced in food. You can't
hold one line and not others.
The recent citrus fruits regula-
ton, while it did constitute a roll
back, showed retreat on the part
of Economic Stabilizer Fred Vinson
on this matter of dollars-ands-cents
prices. A government purchase of
the crop, with transportation costs
absorbed, would have allowed flat
rates all over the country, making
enforcement simple. But this was
abandoned. The roIlback was
achieved by squeezing the scandal
Ously wide distributors margins in
these fruits-but the prices have to
be worked out on community
basis and will be far more difficult
to enforce.

An Equal Partner

DENVER-Three out OF four
Americans want Russia as an equal
partner both in the war and in the
peace, survey conducted by the Natl.

of Denver, indicates.
Question asked was: do you think
Russia ought to have as much to say
as the us. about the peace that is
made with Germany" The answers
we're:
Yes, 1870; No, 1870; Undecided,
80.
Democrats and Republicans were
in close agreement on the question,
the survey showed. Of those who
voted in 1910 for Willkie, 81@o an
swered yes. OF Roosevelt voters, 1870
answered yes. Only 500 of the non

Spokesman for organized labor

in this plan a menace to wage scales,

Nevertheless, Mrs, Luce insists il
