The Drive Continues

The now expired Gufiey Coal Act was q device originally passed to regulate and raise the price of coal as means of increasing wages. It was unsound in principle because 1t sought to set aside the law of supply and demand, and If applied generally to all industry, could wreck our whole economic structure. You can pass law raising prices to raise wages, but no one has yet figured out law that will make the consumer buy product at price higher than that of & competing commodity or serv- ice.
 Farsighted coal operators were opposed to rigid Federal price fixing which would tie their hands in maintaining their in- dustry. They knew that while a price floor might result in larger immediate returns to the coal industry than would be true if free competition were per. mitted, 1t would be but the beginning of drive for increased political control of competitive energy sources including oil and gas and hydroelectric plants. This would be the prelude to nationaliza- ton of wealth which Is the objective Of the sponsors of state socialism.
 BillS are again pending in Congress which, If enacted would renew arbitrary PIlce reBuldCIOH LOT IHe DlIuHlHOuS COdl industry. Not only that, but there is pressure to substitute a single head within one of the executive departments, rather than have an independent com mission. Thus does bureaucracy show its dictatorial character by seeking to place the power to regulate in the hands of one man, rather than a group of men.
 Are we ready to admit that free Amer lean industry has become so impotent that all at once 1t must have a guardian with the powers of a cZar? Must our heretofore independent industries and workmen have a political wet nurse in order to serve the public as in the past? Certainly not if we wish to maintain freedom in our country.

have the skin and know-how to 60 ahead with peacetime production.
 He doesn't bubble about the distinc> tions between large and small business and he talks like layman; saying that i've will see to 1t that business will not have a lot of cumbersome red tape pro- cedure to get cleared, or to get approvals here and there in WIPE before they can go ahead with their programs" In fact Mir. Krug believes that every major in dustry in America has laid out extensive plans for going ahead with peacetime production as soon as they are permitted to do so.
 The Washington Post, which is not always optimistic or cheerful, suggests that the President should, without delay, make Mr. Krug, cheirman of WIPE, not acting chairman, However, the New York Times, editorially expresses the opinion that there is no justification for leaving the position of MT, Krug in the air, and because of the question that would be raised by MT.

L.ethargy

Henry Gorrell of the United Press, now with our forces in Germany, describes his surprise at coming through the first days in enemy home territory without being killed or wounded by guerrillas. His feel ing is natural, but his good fortune IS scarcely surprising.
 The German civilian who complacently surrendered his liberty to the Navy Party isn't likely to rise up angrily in Nazis defense. He, the mlddle-aged German beyond military age, happily allowed himself to be hypnotized by Hitler's ora. tory, even though later the Gestapo had to be dispatched to keep him in his trance, Now, as one burgher told Mr. Gorrell, the Gestapo is gone and the Ger mans aren't afraid. They're glad the war is almost over, They want peace ana quiet,
 StareS, silence and lethargy have greet ed most American troops in Germany thus far. Lethargy will probably remain after the fighting Is over. It is the lethargy of people who love to be led, and who accepted Hitler as the alterna- tive to the bothersome chore of governing themselves. It is a lethargy that will be something to contend with in rebuilding Germany under a rational form Of demo- cratic government.

MRS. PAYNE WHITNEY
tNow York Herald-Tribune)


 With deep admiration Q close friend once said of Mrs, Payne Whitney; "she would have been Just Ns successful, Just as charm ing, If she had been the wife of a poor man." An obvious compliment, perhaps, but deserved one. Helen Hay Whitney had one of tho finest Of American heritages, She had the good fortune to be the daughter of that talented gentleman, John Hay, author and statesman. Her marriage to Payne whitney in 1902 united two families of wealth and distine- ton, Her life was devoted principally to her family, to racing and to the unoStentatious but open handed support of certain favorite ehari. ties.
 As q young woman Mrs, Whitney was known internationally for her beauty and charm, She also had Q firBt-rate intellect and showed more than 6 little promise as 0 poet, She hnd the rare privilege of being the friend, for one, of Rudyard Kipling during Kipling's fruitful years in this country. As for what Is gen- erally known as the social life, she took little part In 1t; her sense Of values and her innate dignity never deserted her. She preferred talking to well informed persons, and matching her information against theirs, to playing the grand lady of society. Her philanthropies for

Private Business Will Carry On

The main job of converting the United States peacetime production will be left Up to the ingenuity of private enterprise, according to the Acting Chairman of the War Production Board, J. A. Krug.
 The new broom Is reported to be ready to "cIean out any remaining feudistS" in the WIPE and matters appear reassuring. at least to the observers, since MT. Nel' son went to China and Mir. Wilson back to General Electric. Mir. Krug has reputation as a very capable executive, and that may explain why he appears to fit in 90 competently in his new position. He has stated very frankly that it ig the job of his Board to take oa restrictions as soon aS possible, 70 enable management and workers wno

A Lucky Country

The consuming public in the United States has been so used to getting what 1t wants when 1t wants it, that 1t is safe to say that not one person in thousand realizes the smooth-working machinery necessary to produce that result. Every thing from grapefruit to mink coats, and baby shoes to automobiles, has been available to purchasers in every corner of our nation.
 No longer do people in great cities like New York, San Francisco and Chicago have the exclusive choice of the better things in life. The same brands of food and the same makes of clothes are on sale on the Main streets of every town in the land Anyone who looks back generation knows that the only way rural customers could then purchase newer products and commodities was to buy in the larger trading centers. But today, when new product is advertised, 1t can be found in all corners of the country on almost the same day.
 The larger stores must be given large measure of credit for this progress in re- tailing The basic principle on which they operate is mass turnover at a mini mum profit per sale. This necesSitates uniform and widespread distribution of its wares. The result Is that they have developed entirely new markets for prod uctS. They created new demands on the part of customers in rural communities, and in opening up opportunities for themselves they made new opportunities for every independent merchant who wished to serve the public on modern lines.
 4 generation of this type of merchant diging has given the United States a re- taIl system capable of distributing prod ucts during a war emergency, so that the American consumer has felt no hardship. The fact that its success depends on vol tune sales and minimum unit profit is the greatest guarantee nation can have against manipulated markets and run away prices

those bonds lost Q cool $l 200, ,oo0,- 900,
 John Dulles, who had made many speeches advocating the SoundneSS of German bonds, was not able to collect the money, His friend Wisgins of the Chase Bank did collect,
 That perhaps explain why Dulles made the statement In March. 1889, that "these dy. namlc peoples (Germans, ltal. lAnS and JapaneSel determined Co mould their states Into form which would permit them to take their destiny Into their own hands and to attain that enlarged status which, under liberal and peaceful form Of government, had been denied them,"
 Dulles went on to explain and eondone the effort Of the dictator nations to "enlarge their status" adding that "only hysterla enter talns the Idea that Germany, Italy or Japan cOntemplateS war upon us."
 This, no doubt, was the Dulles speaking who inStinetively adopt cd tho banker attitude of the ChamherlainS and the Clivedon Set that some way must be found to safeguard investments in Ger many,
 Undoubtedly this also was the attitude of one important client of Dulles law firm, the J, Henry Sehroder Banking Corp, Dulles brother and law partner Allen Dulles, is Q director of both J, Henry Sehroder and the Sehroder Trust Company, and the affairs of this international banking house are intimately tied up with the Dulles law firm,
