WORLD COTTON
MART FORECAST

NEW YORK, Nov 2.-(R-An in.
ternational agreement dividing up
the world cotton market is forecast
by the National City Bank in its
monthly review of business.
Such an agreement, the bank be-
lieves, might resemble the U. S.
Canada Australia Argentina
wheat quota plan, and would be an
alternate to subsidized dumping OF
SURPRISES in the export market.
Two factors the bank sees behind
such a move are:
/. The carryover of foreign cotton
on Aug. l was the largest On rec
ord; ''thus foreign competition with
American cotton will be stronger
than ever before"
2. The price at which the govern
ment is now starting to support cot
ton is 3 to cents pound above
the price of equivalent Brazilian
cotton, meaning any export subsi-
dy would have to be substantial.
This country's indicated policy OF
supporting only domestic prices,
the bank believes, may cause other
nations to favor an international
quota plan.
On the other hand are the argu-
ments of nations which have en-
couraged cotton growing an d
which want to avoid crop restric-
tons.
The big question, the bank says,
would be the size of quotas, and it
refers back to the 1889 conference
in which the United States talked
about exporting at least 100000
bales a year but got nowhere with
other producing nations.
Under the heading, dangers of
the policy" the bank contends an
agreement would make no distinc.
ton between fertile land and poor
soil with low yields and high costs.
These latter acres, it adds, should
be taken out of production and put
in grass.
Another fault the bank finds is
that international restrictions would
tend to raise prices and thus re-
duce consumption at a time when
cotton is running into more and
more competition from synthetic fl
bers.
Even with an agreement, h e
bank says, in the case of wheat
the U. S. price is IS to As cents a
bushel a bow competing world
prices and 1--WE shall be able to
fill the export quota only by con-
tinuing and enlarging the export
subsidies.''
The question also arises, the bank
says, as to policy on other basic
crops and the war crops for

Broader Policy

Mr.. Churchill has informed Parliament that
It will be the British policy to let the Greek
people choose their own form of government
when normal conditions return.
Would it be impairment OF us to ask if the
Atlantic Charter, of which Mr.. Churchill is CO.
author, did not announce as its policy the right
of all peoples to choose their own form of gov
eminent and without retaining any provisions
about deciding what and when we're normal
conditions?''

The Chinese Situation

With its proverbial open-naindedness the
China and the recall of General Stlwell, finds
that there are faults on both sides of the
argument and refuses to be drawn into par
tisan dispute.
China under Chang Kai-shek has Numbered
grievously, it points out, but Britain and the
United States are not to be exonerated from
responsibility for their contribution to condi-
tons which have given the Japanese SO strong
position in the Orient and particularly on
the mainland of Asia.
Says the Times:
1.-THE facts are that China's war against
the Japanese, since the December day nearly
three years ago when it became of vital i'm
portance to ourselves, has been handicapped
by internal discord, between the Chungking
Government and the so-called Chinese Com
munists and between Chang Kai-shek n
some of his generals; by corruption, in which
Chang had no personal share but which he
has been unable to prevent and by Chiang's
reluctance and final refusal to entrust Cen
eral Stlwen with full command of unified
and enhanced Chinese effort, by land and by
air. against the Japanese. The United States
lost battle, and the Chinese people may be
said to have lost one, too, when Chang forced
Stlwelrs recall.
s"This is the situation, and it is an acute
Dne. But before passing judgement we should
4oiy, 9TH nd
knoWn-facts. These are that for more than
seven years Chang has refused to make peace
with the Japanese, though in 1871 and prob
ably later he had tempting offers; that the
Chinese resistance, though it has declined in
effectiveness, has nevertheless detained a
large number of Japanese troops which we
might otherwise have had to fight elsewhere,
and that the Chinese people, deprived of their
ports, their railroads cut or occupied, their
eastern highways controlled by the enemy,
their cities and villages murderously sacked,
their industries driven hundreds of miles into
the interior, their lives taken by famine and
disease well as by enemy action have
nevertheless not Wavered Intrigue ambition,
Jealousy and dishonesty have been in high
places, but the underfed, alarmed, often bad
1y led Chinese soldier has marched, suffered
and died for his country with heroism I'M
surpassed in any nations history.
1--WE thus owe debt to the soldiers and
people of China which nothing we can do will
repay. To that debt Britain may add the
harm she did when she temporarily closed
the Burma Road and we may add the harm
we did when we tried to appease Japan by
providing her with metals and with gasoline D

Occupational Therapy

Handicapped persons have taught American
industry valuable lesson since the war be-
gam Employed at time of labor scarcity,
they have shown that men and women once
classed as permanently disabled can do a
great variety Of jobs, and establish excellent
records for high production and low absentee
ism and job turnover in the process.
recent Civil Service study reveals that
handicapped persons can do nearly 1000 differ
ent kinds of work satisfactorily. Obviously it
is the humanitarian obligation of employers
and unions to protect the jobs of these people
to the greatest practicable extent in times
of plentiful labor. For surely their wartime
experience as employables has done handi-
capped workers an ncalculable amount of
good
There is no need to argue the virtues of
occupational therapy. 1t has been used success
fully for years to aid the recovery Of mental
patients and to restore the spirits as well as
the muscles in slow recuperaton from physical
disease and injury.
So why should we not consider employment
of the ablebodied as well as the handicapped,
and on a national scale, as form of "occu-
patonal therapy"? The viewpoint is eminently
practical as well as humane
normal man becomes mentally sick
through prolonged unemployment. He loses
sell confidence and self respect, and the
actual physical benefit that comes from con-
genial work. He thinks himself a failure and
often looks about for a scapegoat on which to
fasten the cause for these fancied shortcom-
lngs. Multiply such thinking by millions and
you have fertile ground for the growth of isms
and racial and religious bigotry, of unrest
and violence
If widespread unemployment comes, relief
is necessity. But it is not permanent pre-
scription. The doctor does not give the patient
the same drug during convalescence that he
administers in life and death crisis Per-
haps made work. is the tonic of con-
valescence. But neither made work nor relief
can substitute for a responsible job, secured
on merit held through ability, and performed
with some creative satisfaction.
This has not been stressed in talk of postwar
jobs. But certainly it is potent argument
for unity among all groups concerned with
building strong business and social struc-
ture after victory. 1t is most unlikely that with
out unemployment after the last war, the Com
munist Party would have secured its stubborn
foothold in America or that the XII Klux Khan
would have written its shameful page in our
history.
We cannot afford the poisonous disruption OF
such groups after this war; The stake is too
great And we need not have it if government
and business aAd labor leaders will recognize
the long range human need and day-to-day
enjoyment of good job well done, and if they
will work in the knowledge that on them de-
ponds the nations mental and spiritual as vel
as economic health.

King Michael came down to break
fast at $50 and the Queen at 10
O'Clock. We sat at the table until
noon. Bit by bit I learned more of
life at the palace, focal point of
four years Of pro-Allied intrigue.
Much information about An

light. It's pipelines reached into the
palace itself. Styrcea mentioned q

and I never have been happier than
the night we kicked him out"
King Michael spoke slowly, occa-
sionally In French but usually. in
flawless English, which, at his
mothers injunction, has been the
ofncial court language, despite An
tonescu's German.
Use OF English at court distressed
Antonescu deeply, the Queen said,

wrath.

she stood up, fumbling in her hand

The marshal, startled, stepped
away from her as the Queen found
the pistol she had been seeking and
pointed it at him. Then she, too,
became startled at her own action
and put it away.
King Acquires Jeep.
Antonescu was angry also when
King Michael mysteriously acquired
an American jeep and insisted on
driving it in public. He reprimanded
the King, who said he wanted an
entire feet of them once the Ger
mans were gone.
Other sore points were English
magazines and American cigarettes
which kept bobbing up at the pal
ace. The latter came via Lisbon,
the Queen said, and were frightfully
expensive, even for royalty.
After the long talk at breakfast
We played table tennis on the front
terrace, discussed airplanes and
romped with the Kings dog, an ami
NAL he said he had "swiped" from
the Gestapo.
Then we had lunch. Afterward,
standing on the terrace, King Mich
ael described slowly and in detail
his arrest of Antonescu, his final
audience with Won Killinger, his
long automobile dash through the
German lines and other historic
events of August %. so that might
record them accurately for dispatch
to America.

they'll let my mother and me come
over to be technical advisers. It's
better than lot of your gangster

The King accompanied the baron
and me back to the plane late in
the afternoon. We went for a 10
