Since the life of modern distri-
button is volume sales on narrow
profit margins, it takes no expert
to figure out that volume and
prices cannot be cut materially
without disaster ensuing to even
the most efficient retailer. Yet the
government is trying to cut both
drastically. Thousands of stores
have already gone out of business;
stores that were doing their part
sincerely and patiently to carry
out the rules and regulations of the

will be at the mercy of the black

WHAT TO DO WITH our wal
plants when peace comes is some
thing where we can keep our eye
peeled. Disaster can sneak in on
us. Our supply of super-planners
is big. Our stock of Order-giving
Bureau Boys don't intend to get
out and do any kind of hard work
if they can avoid it. 1t has been
quite comfortable just thinking up
stuff for the rest of us to do. That
is where the war plants come in
when peace comes. Plans will
blossom. Grand plans. They will
sound rosy. Instead of salvaging
the plants and selling the parts
like leftover copper or canned
beef, etc. we will see plans for the
Govt. taking over and running
some kind of new project. 1t will
be socialism, but they won't dwell
on that angle. And by pushing the
Govt. into a project the thinking
up grand idea" boys will run the
shebang and will stay on the pay
roll.

Army camps. Why, in recent report made
by the government, it said the Army usually
prefers its camps to be located in wet in
stead of dry communities. And there's a
sound reason. In a wet community the
Army can control drinking. In dry COM
munities where bootleggers run wild it's al
most impossible. We know that from our
nearly IA years of experience with national
prohibition.
There's no getting away from it, pro
hibition does not prohibit"

GABLE, TURNER
ARE TOGETHER
IN FILM HERE
Movie Stars at Capitol in
Somewhere I'll
Find You"

Clark Gable and Lana Turner CO.
star again in Somewhere I'll Find
You" the new Metro-Goldwyn
Mayer drama of war correspon-
dents in the Far East, which opens
at the Capitol Theatre Sunday.
Their first co-starring film was
'Honky Tonk."
This is story as timely as today's
dispatches from the front and it is
handled superbly by stars, support
ing cast and direction by Wesley
Ruggles.
Gable and Robert Sterling, as
brothers, and newspapermen, are
both in love with Miss Turner also
a correspondent on duty in Indo-
China. The rivalry is rudely inter-
rupted by the bombing of Pearl
Harbor, which throws them into the
maelstrom as something more than
neutral observers.
The girl disappears and the
brothers go after her, fighting
through jungle and Japs to find
her transporting Chinese children
to a place of safety 1t develops
that her real love has always been
for the older brother, Gable, al
though she was half engaged to
Sterling.
In the spectacular action of the
first stages of war with Japan,
Sterling is hit, Gable and the girl
are reunited and the story ends on
note that leaves the feeling of
eventual American victory.
The story is strikingly effective
in its timeliness, rich with adven-
ture of the sort that is familiar to
Americans now, and warmly human
in its romance.

Great Britain and the Unietd States

Great Britain and the Unietd States that this policy does not apply to enemy countries. For instance, plans for occupation of Italy have been made along strictly military lines. The Allied military government of occupied territories rules out all forms of political activity by the enemy occupied country on the grounds of military necessity.
 The Russians, however, apparently propose to move in with a provi- sional government when it enters Germany rather along the lines eX- pected when the Allies move into France with the national committee as trustee for the French pending national elections.
 Implications of the Russian action are far-reaching, particularly the inSistence against carving up the Reich. This proviso was qualified by the statement that carving up and obliterating could be expected if the Germans hold on to the Hitler ite government to the bitter end.
 The statement may indicate that the Russians are turning cold eye on such territorial suggestions as sometimes emanate that East Prus- sia be turned over to the Poles, for instances, in order to compensate for concessions to Russia along the eastern frontier. It also raises a frequently overlooked question: Will Austria be reconstructed and how shall the postwar Czechoslovakian frontiers be drawn?

 and trucking to the point of requisi- ton and one quarter of cent is allowed for sales to the government.
 Officials Jubilant
 OPA officials were jubilant over the move which they predicted would eradicate the illicit traffic by the simple process of forcing black market operators to sell at ceiling prices a load of poultry which has been purchased at much higher rate. That device, they believed, would succeed where countless eff forts at enforcement through price orders and vigilance have failed.
 They emphasized that legitimate operators whose load is requisition- ed would not suffer, since they will receive the legal price for their pro- duct.
 The black market in poultry be- came prevalent last March when the approach of rationing of beef, veal, lamb, mutton and pork increased demand for chickens.
