A DEAD ERA

In reply 70 the claims of the
tood industry that dollars and
cents ceilings are in manv cases
forcing merchants to sell goods
elbow cost and in general threa-
ten the stability of the industry.
DPA has pointed out that the
stores made ample porfts in 1912
Such a reply merely lends weight
to the contention of retailers be-
cause it does not apply in any
respect to current merchandising
realities.
During most of 1912. retailers
in all lines operated in a free
competitive market. Today they
are operating in a controlled
market where prices are set by
degree. Profits OF one day alter.
nate with losses the next, depend
ing on orders issued in Washing
ton. The merchant is helpless.
The most that he can do is ask fo:
adjustment of prices that will per
init him to 1emain in business.
rood retailers have done Just that.
Tomorrow the clothing distrii IT,
iors may be in the same boat 70
correct an intolerable price silua-
ton the OF \ will have to do
much more than talk about pro-
fits of dead era.

GIVE THEM TOOLS

Two war agencies, the Office OF
Defence Transportation and the
Office of War Information have
lately warned that the railroads
are being driven to the limit, and
that to carrt the loads of the iu-
ture they must be supplied with
necessary equipment.
Director ]. B. Eastman of the
ODT says: "One of the best
ways to get the most out OF trans
portation equipment is to keep i
going, avoid delays. and increase
the amount OF work done per
unit of time. In the dozen years
which followed the last World
War, the railroads spent several
billions of dollars in the improve
ment of their roadbeds, tracks and
terminal facilities. They are gett-
ing the benefit of that expendi-
ture now"
If they are to continue rolling
without delay, their equipment
must be maintained and replaced
as necessity requires.
The Office OF War Information
observes that the battle of trans
portation in the United States is
now being won, and the war and
necessary civilian transportation
load is being carried. 81 he vic
tories. however. are not neccsSar,-
| ~ permanent, says OWL. Kali
road. equipment. and tank cars
are wearing out. Few replace
ments are being made"
The railroads have been high,
" praised from all quarters ior
the job they have done. But praise
alone won't haul oil to the Fast
Coast. Praise won't take the place
of steel rails or of locomotives
Praise alone won't move freight
..nd troops. Railroad management.
will appreciate praise more aftei
the job is done. Right now the,
are like fremen working agains

burning building. They need tn
tools of their trade.

THEY SAID LAST
WEEK:
President Roosevelt:

have watched with increasing ad-
m'ration the history-making ex-
ploits of the armed forces of the
Soviet Union and the almost in
credible sacrifices which the Rus
sian people are SO heroically max
ing. The growing might of the
combinet forces of all the United
Nations which is being brought
increasingly to bear upon our
common enemy testifies to the
spirit of unity and sacrifice neces-
>ary for our ultimate victory. This
same spirit will, | am sure, ami
mate us in approaching the chal-
longing tasks of peace which vic
tory will present to the world"
Senator Joseph H. Ball, of Mime
sofa:
"Those who pride themselves
on being practical, on being hard
beaded realists, like to scoff at
any plan for a functioning organ
lzatlon of nations as utopian, cos
mic or idealistic. They dwell on
the differences between peoples.
Il: customs, languages and de-
sires, and they tell us it would
be impossible for them to agree.
Our modern defeatists admit mo-
dern war will destroy our civiliza-
ton unless it is controlled, but
they tell us we cannot control it.
Theirs is the counsel of despair.
And these dcfeatists, as last re-
sort, wrap themselves in the flag
and say we can never consent to
give up any OF that precious thing
called national sovereignty in the
interests of peace. If delegating a
little of their sovereignty to a
United Nations organization will
give us an even chance of elimi-
mating this plague of world war,
it is my conviction that the Anne
rican people will regard it as good
bargain. Unlimited national sover-
e;gnty. carried to it's ultimate
conclusion, means international
lawlessness and chaos. The alter
native is a United Nations organ
ization with sufficient limited
sovereignty to create and main.
tain international law and order.
