This Is the Army Cost
Back Home for Truininq
Nv the Associated Pros.

BY the Associated Press.
CAMP UPTON. N. Y, Aug. A.
After 13-month, Nation wide tour,
the all-soldier cast of This Is the
Army" has returned here to learn
a little more about real Army life.
The 300 actors received a warm
reception yesterday which included
military greeting by the camp per-
sonnel, parade through the reser-
vation and large Welcome Home"
signs.
Maj. Simon P. Ambraz, who COM
manded the cast on It's extended
tour, said the men would remain
here to complete their military
training, after which one or two
units will be formed for overseas
service.

ditions imposed on Italy will be
mild or harsh, after uncondi-
tional surrender. according to
whether useless resistance was
offered to the Allies.
This appears to have made
little impression on Mussolini's
successor. His troops in Sicily
have continued to oppose us and
there have been indications that
they have been fighting slightly
better, causing the Allies greater
losses.
In the meantime, Badoglio is
allowing the Germans to move
into Northern Italy unhandicap-
ped. Reports that 18 new Nazi
divisions have been taken from
the Reich into Northern Italy are
being discounted here. There has
not been sufficient time to move
such large mass of men and ac-
companytng war materials across
the passes.
Authorities Cooperate.
But there is no question that
the traffic between Germany and
italy is heavy. Unless drastic
action is taken soon to bomb the
main communication arteries
such as Milan, Turin and Venice
the number of Nazi forces north
of the River Po will exceed 300,-
900 in the next few weeks.
While 1t is true that Badoglio
does not have sufficient force
to oppose the Nazi penetration,
he could have, had he been so
minded, made their movements
in Italy very difficult by ordering
passive resistance. Every indica-
ton received in Washington so
far is that on the contrary the
Italian authorities in Northern
Italy are fully cooperating with
Hitler's men.
There also are reports that not
only have a number of sub
marines been taken over by the
Nazis, but also that Badoglio will
not object If the entire Italian
fleet passes under the orders of
the Germans.
When the Allies moved into
Sicily, the Italian fleet, COM
posed OF four excellent battle
ships, about nine cruisers and at
least go modern destroyers, left
Taranto and the southern bases
and moved to the north. The

Venice, Pola and Fiurne. Under
Mussolini. the Royal Navy dis
tinguished itself by the speed
with which 1t avoided encounters
with the Allied fleets. The heavy
ships were seldom in action prin-
cipally because there was no fuel
Tor large-scale operations.
Deal Is Suspected.
There Is strong suspicion
here that deal was concluded
between the Berlin and Rome
governments whereby the Nazis
would have absolute control over
the remaining Italian warships.
In such event. they undoubtedly
would be supplied with the neces-
sary fuel oil.
The anti-aircraft defenses in
Southern and Central Italy are
reported being moved northward
to afford better protection to the
important industrial establish
ments in Northern Italy.
Should all these factors be con-
f1rmed, 1t is probable that Bado-
Clio Is playing a waiting game
He wants to give the Nazis all
the time necessary to consolidate
the defenses of the north. Once
this is accomplished, he will be
IN position to pass the hand to
somebody else, puppet Of some
sort, who then will accept the
Allies unconditional surrender
terms to save Southern and Gen.
tral Italy from the inevitable
ravages of war.
Badoglio realizes that even
under such circumstances italy
Will have to suffer, because there
will be air battles between the
Nazis and the Allies who will
establish their air force on Ital-
ian fields. But he apparently
believes these battles will cause
only small damage to his country.
Badoglio's Time Short.
For some reason the Italian
Premier seems to be convinced
that the Germans are not vet
finished.
In any event. he apparently
thinks that by playing waiting
game - letting the Germans
strengthen their Notifications
and then stepping aside to permit
acceptance Of Allied terms by a
successor-he may obtain some
good for his. country.
How successful this policy will
be is difficult to say. Badoglio's
time is running short. The de-
fenses Of Sicily are expected to
collapse this week.
AS soon as this occurs, Gen.
Eisenhower will be in a position
to concentrate on Italy proper.
1t Is then, according to some
Washington political observers,
that Badoglio will hand over the
government to his successor,
claiming that the new defeat of
the Italian forces makes his ten
ure of office impossible and that,
while he was unable to accept a
dishonorable unconditional sur
render, a civilian could accept 1t
under the impact of another de-
feat

distorted schedule Of prices that
we can stabilize prices piecemeal,
and then only in respect of such
prices as we find to be so gro
tesouely out of line with their
component costs that there is no
conflscation in fixing them until
component costs rise to relative
parity with the prices fixed.
There are only three conditions
in which such general disorgan-
ization is likely. One is that
which we encountered In 1917
domestic disorganization due to
foreign war; another is some
temporary disturbance not due to
war; and the last is, if, appre-
hensive about general stabiliza-
ton on the outbreak of war, we
sit still while all prices whirl up

gotten unreasonably out of line)

an influence for rapid general in
f1ation. and, at the same time,
apply repression to a single
commodity, we automatically and
almost instantly destroy the ex-
change value of that commodity.
Called Unconstitutional.
There is as little doubt about
the nconstitutionality of that
procedure as there is about its i'm
practicability. Under the Consti-
tuition it would be confiscation,
and from a practical standpoint
it would paralyze production. In
other words, such a project, on
the most superficial examination,
proves futile and impossible. To
try to make this clearer in a prac-
tical way. suppose war were to
break out tomorrow. Knowing,
from invariable experience, that
general prices will soon go sky
ward, we try the individual price
fixing formula and call in the
makers of iron and steel and say
to them:
Gentlemen, we are embarked
in a great war. We know the
market price of steel is where it
is today by force of the law of
supply and demand. We also
know from the history of every
great war that all prices in our
markets are about to begin a
dizzy upward spiral. But, as to
your prices, we ask you as patri-
otic citizens to keep them where
they are"
The instant answer would, OF
course. be:
Why, in that case our selling
price will almost Immediately be
below our costs. You can't ask
us to finance the war alone. You
are simply proposing confiscation
of out product"
There, of course, would be the
end of the atttmpt. 1t is inpos-
sible.
Even If our request should be:
We'll, we are going to fix a
price somewhat higher than your
prtsent price in order to prevent
proflteering and imitation"
The answer would be:
What price? All other prices
control our costs. The only way
you can do that is on 'cost-plus
basis That we must insist upon
because, if you leave other prices
free to rise as they will, we can
have no way of knowing at what
price we shall be safe"
If I were conducting such a
negotiation, with all the expert
ence of the World War at my
command, l would not know how
to answer these supposed argu-
ments Of industry. If other wit
nesses who so strongly advocated
this procedure here can answer
them. I think this commission
should call upon them to do so.
The issue they raise is one of
pretty nearly first magnitude.
How can any seller accept a
price which he knows will be ex-
ceeded by his costs? How can
any one contract at a fixed price
IN runaway war market when
all he knows about his costs are
that they are on an upward
spiral and may run to any figure.
1t was this reasoning that af-
f1icted us with the vicious cost
plus contracts of 1917-18.
1t seems to me so apparent,
from the examples have given,
that individual price stabiliza-
ton in the usual circumstances
Of great war is wholly imprac-
ticable that no further argument
or exposition is necessary. In
briefest terms, under those cir
cumstances de, where we start
with a relatively-normal price
structure, we must either sta
billie every price or stabilize no
price.

Between Dakar and Liberia

From Dakar to Liberia the entire
coastal area of West Africa is low
lying, the only plateau and noun
tain regions rising some distance in
land. Heavy underground makes
passage difficult in most of the re-
gion, and there are few overland
transport routes-and no railways.
What few rail lines there are ex-
tend from seaports of the various
colonies to their own inland points.
Sparsely settled for the most part.
this section, of Africa is tropical in
character, with swamp and desert
vegetation that varies not only from
place to place but from season to
season., Travel is now at its most
favorable time. The main rainy
season in these regions lasts from
May to August or September. In
general, however, most of the eli
matte conditions along this coast
are unsuited to the white man.
Liberia, with its next-door neighbor,
Sierra Leone, has the heaviest rain
fall recorded for the coastal bulge.
