Baltimore reported fuel stocks

been in months. Dealers reported
one weeks supply was on hand and
Ireplenishments were arriving with
increasing regularity. Six weeks ago,
it was recalled, gasoline and fuel
were at an all-time low as inven-

been filled" a PAW spokesman said.

they haven't drop in the barrel,

Recommendations in Congress by the House Ways and Means Committee to raise postage rates mail are viewed with alarm in many quarters The suggestion that government agencies be charged for all mail which goes through the post office scotfree worthy of serious consideration It is apparent of course that such course will not increase the national income but it is equally apparent that might curb the excessive of the franking privileges which has swept Washington from stem to stern in recent months.
 Under present stautes government offices send out their material without thought of postage costs. How much useless and altogether futile matter is included in these bureaucratic mailing pieces any editor tell you It flows across his desk in daily floods Naturally each item he receives and losses into convenient wastepaper basket-costS money of American taxpayers. The total is staggering Postage on franked material last year alone would have come 900 had it been sent by industrial concerns
 The cost in paper, power, ink and equipment would be many times that amount.

A Prophecy Recalled
Cincinnati Enquirer


 As Congress charts this country's place in post family of nations it might be well for the law makers to consider the omrous but true prophecy of W. A. Julian now Treasurer of the United States but then Cincinnati shoe manufacturer, 20 years ago when he returned from two month trip to Germany and France Hark well these words:
 T believe that America ought to hold up the hands of any and every institution that looks to peaceful instead of warlike sediment of difficulties con- fronting the world for in my opinion we are not faced with any ordinary trouble, but with disaster"
 Most of MT. Julians time passed in the occu- pied territory of the Ruhr in Germany studying business conditions
 No man can go to Europe and see hatred stalking about as did without coming home saddened by the situation he said. .s
 "The people apparently want to work in peace, but chauvnistic press and parliamentary morons have driven European civilization on the rocks.
 The wonder to me is the willingness with which men kill each other and die for hatred It is a remarkable thing the intensity with which this hatred carried In the Ruhr there are signs everywhere We don't do business with France or We don't do business with Belgium. These in every store that one goes into It is only sample of the manner in which the campaign of hate is being conducted.
 France has attempted to run thousands of miles of railroads telephone and telegraph lines and other public utilities, with an army, many of whom are blacks and Arabs No one has yet seen an army with industrial efficiency. Anyone can understand the condition that ould exist if Dayton, for example seized and the President Directors and Supernend- ents of the National Cash Register Company put in jail deported-what would happen to the in dustry That the condition of hundreds of industries in Germany today"
 Those words spoken by MT. Julian five years after World War I ended. He could see then the hatred that had built up the disaster that lay ahead if this country failed to face it's world responsibilities
 Surely we profit by that experience, listen with greater heed to with vision such MT Julian had for World War IT. flying death and de- struction the doors of all Europe will leave deeper scars of hatred upon the souls of men.
 Recalling his words, underlines the fact that our responsibility for the freedom of the world will not end with the signing of treaty of peace emphasizes the importance of the conferences of British and American foreign affairs eissaries in Russia today.
