Service Gifts
Spur Trade
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor AZ Economics, New York University
Industrial production was prob
ably a little lower in the latest
statistical week. Railway car
loadings did not make as good a
showing as usual at this season.
But changes were mixed. and no
large net movement was indi-
Gated. The lumber output de-
clined. Paperboard production
showed an Hnifnportart variation,
while orders increased. Construc-
ton picked up a little. The steel
lngot output gained, though or
ders fell.
But again trade figures showed
a more buoyant tendency. While
bank clearings were lower than in
the preceding week. department
store sales made a good seasonal
gain. To be sure. this gain was
somewhat influenced by early
buying of Christmas gifts for the
Servicemen overseas; but there
were the offSetting factors of uR-
seasonably mild weather and the
generally tight supply situation to
contend with.
FAIRLY CLEAR
On the whole. ii is fairly clear
that the general stimulus of in
fiated incomes is the main factor,
and will continue to operate. The
leading items in most sections
appear 10 be quality clothes,
house furnishings, and liquor.
Commodity prices showed little
net change during the week,
which is quite remarkable in view
Of the larger crops reported.
which would ordinarily have
meant widespread declines in agri-
cultural products.
The cotton crop estimate was
raised to 11.9 million bales. Rec
ord-breaking crops of corn and
wheat are promised, running up
to 80 billion bushels and IL bill
lion bushels. respectively.
PREDICTS AGREEMENT
predict an understanding"
between Mr.. Roosevelt and the
labor leaders which will seem TO
preserve the formula, but give
labor enough, either now or in the
future, TO hold the CIO votes.
This might be done through
large reconversion allowances,
which would be highly infla-
tionaryl
Prospects of a somewhat pro-
longed war appear in a tighter
wool supply situation, and the
tendency of some government Off
Gals TO demand an extension of
war price controls. etc. But a
little progress toward reconver-
sion can be seen in steps to au-
thorize gold mines TO open up
production. and in the allowance
of a greater use of copper and
zinc in certain civilian products.
Postwar planning by private en-
terprise is showing real progress.

Dear Mr.. and Mrs. Pottinger:
I'm a long, long way from Nogales
but still remember you, and have
been meaning to write you many
times since I left. Though I can
offer no excuses for not writing, the
details of going overseas and the
excitement and work of flying my
first 27 combat missions has kept
me busy.
I've been here about three months
now, one morA1 of which was a
complete waste of time. I was
grounded and didn't do a bit of fly
ing. Had it not been for that, ]
might now be on my way back tc
the States.
Ordinarily you would think that
being overseas would give one a
great deal to write about, but it
doesn't. I'm stationed quite dis
tance from any towns and the roads
are very bad so we never go in
Flying gets boring after while and
the details seem to slip out of your
mind and you can't memember what
to write about.
I have managed to get into Rome
for few days and that was a great
experience. There is a great deal
of beauty and art and culture, but
also lot of ugliness and sordidness
of war. In one day, for example,
I saw the indescribable beauty of
the Vatican and st. Peters and the
gruesome ugliness of the Andreatine
caves where the Germans murdered
800 hostages just before we took
Rome. 1t was pathetic sight to

farming section of France that was
not too badly hurt by war, although
I have seen quite a few towns that
were leveled by bombs and artillery.
I visited Cherbourg and found it
a very interesting city. The city
itself was not badly damaged except
for the docks that were blown up.
I enjoyed reading The Interna-
tional even if it was dated August
