precise knowledge are to i'm
plement postwar economic poll
cies, then the developers of
economic fantasies can become
harmful.
AS a prelude to practical
relations, it is important to
start out with genuine fact
finding.
RUSSIA USEFUL"
In the first place, Russia is
at present useful as a military
associate, and is contributing
to the smashing of our enemies
in Europe through killing and
manning Germans. In the cir
cumstances, the lend-lease ar
rangement fits in with our own
military strategy.
Secondly, Russia is in a diff
ferent relationship with our
enemy in the Pacific. Not only
is Russia not at war with Japan,
but it has non-aggression pact
with that country. which served
as a green light to give Japan
the impression that it was safe
to make a sneak attack on us
at Pearl Harbor. Up to now,
SO far as is publicly known. the
Soviet has in no way limited
her freedom of action in the
orient.
Thirdly, though linked with
the democracies in this war
against the European branch of
the Axis, the Soviet is not set
up as a democratic country,
but as a dictatorship.
Fourthly. though Karl Marx
and Lenin are still honored in
Russia with lip service, the So
Wet has in practice long since
abandoned the ideals" of COM
munism because it found them
unworkable. Instead it has to
a measurable degree restored
the profit motive" in the form
of piece work remuneration
and vast premiums of pay for
executives and engineers. How
ever, until the Soviet openly re-
pudiates communism, against
which IL has to a large degree
privately turned its back, Marx
ism enjoys an unwarranted
prestige among the unthinking
and i'll informed in other coun-
tries. In scrapping the comm
tern, the Soviet was sedulously
careful not to disavow Marxism
as a philosophy.

NOT FULLY REFLECTED

The comparison of dollar volume
of sales does not fully reflect the
increase of Bendix war produc-
ton, Breech added. because of the
company's policy of passing on to
the government the benefits of
costs reductions brought about
by increased operating efficiency.
Voluntary price reduction S
under this policy totaled Sl4S,-
949,204 for the period from Oct.
/. 1912 TO July l, 1943. Substanti-
ally all of these reductions were
on contracts entered into with the
federal government prior 10 the
period under review. he pointed

FLAYs THE EMISSION.

It would be disastrous to
lasting friendship to start out
with the unreal concept Of the
movie Mission to Moscow" and
assume that in the complicated
field Of international relations
the Soviet is always lily white,
and that evil. if any, springs
from the wicked capitalistic
countries.
While adniring the heroism
and gallantry of the Russian de-
tenders of their native soil, we
need not indiscriminately ap-
plaud the ideologies of the So
Wet, which are alien to the
American way of life. TO which
we are so ardently devoted,
Detroit evening times., 1943-08-08

In spite of the foregoing
facts, there is no reason why
the United States and Russia
cannot have orderly interna-
tional relations after the war.
The prospects for friendship,
however, may be destroyed by
our own visionaries who want
to sponsor policies which ig-
more the realities.
Before the war, we traded
with Russia, even though Rus
sian exports and imports were
dominated by the instrumental
ties of the Russian government,
whereas our foreign trade was
in the hands of individual citi-
zens, firms and private corpora
tions.
If the atmosphere Is not
clouded by false assumptions,
working relationships can con-
tinue after the war.
But il Is fantastic for our
public men not to recognize
that understanding constitutes
a two way, not a one way,
street.

Produce Men Predict
More Vegetables Soon
AtPrice Under Cei|inq
Supply Is Usuo|Iy
Larger Beginning
March !, They Soy

While some Of the bins for fresh
vegetables in the stores will be
empty tomorrow because present
ceiling prices in Washington are
said to be sending cabbages and
other items on to other markets
there soon will be bigger supply at
much lower prices than the ceilings
produce men said yesterday.
Ceilings are based on February
1922 prices, which are about the
peak of the annual cycle of fresh
vegetable prices. From March l on,
supply increases and prices fall
rapidly. Not even the increased
demand for fresh vegetables this
year due to stringent rationing of
canned and frozen vegetables will
keep prices up to present levels the
ceiling prices, market men agree.
It was the Florida freeze more
than the restrictions on the sale of
canned goods that led the Office of
Price Administration to set the CELL
ings as of the February 1922 prices
one produce specialist said. DeStruc-
ton by frost was bound to cause a
serious shortage he said At this
time OF year, Florida tender veg
etables amount TO 40 per cent of the
total arriving at Washington and
other cities in the East.
Sale at Loss Reported.
While produce men are said to be
buying no more cabbage for this
market, they are receiving some
they bought 10 days ago and they
have to sell this at loss under the
OPA regulation, they say. In one
OF the strange qulrks of this highly
variable market. which was cited
the produce men. during the Febru-
airy 1922 base price period, were
buying cabbages III the South for
1925 a bushel while they were SELL
ing them here for S275-but not
the same &C bbages. Those selling
here had been purchased at less
than S275. There was no shortage
here and they had to be moved or
they would spoil But the freeze had
caused a shortage in the South. and
market men were buying cabbage
there at 1925, expecting to get
nearly 81 bushel for them here. it
was said The declaration of a price
ceiling interyened. Now they have
to sell them at less than the pur-
chase price they claim. They have
carried their case to the OPA but
so far have obtained no relief.
Produce men are used to selling at
a loss occasionally. High profits in
favorable markets erase these losses.
They complain that ceiling prices at
present make high profits on any
items impossible.
No Poultry Shortage Here.
While New York is experiencing
poultry shortage, there will be as
much poultry here as there has been
IN recent weeks. One buyer for

may hurt the future, but it cannot
effect present supply.
Pork will be scarce in the stores
this week and beef will be as scarce
as it usually has been in recent
weeks. Veal is almost existent
in local stores Some stores will
have plenty of lamb.
The pork and beef situation may
be relieved in another week by the
workings of the quota system The
slaughter houses are limited in their
slaughtering for civilian markets to
IS per cent of the hogs and 10 per
cent of the cattle killed during the
first nine months of 1912. This is
figured on a monthly basis. The
last week Of the month is the low
point in the wholesale markets and
this carries over into the first week
of the month in the stores. The
trade attempts to spread the supply
over the calendar as well as among
the stores but the supply is always
pretty we'll exhausted at the end OF
