LONDON PAPER
Continued from page u

(COnJ1nueO IrOIu page -
the terrible danger that white
worker may be pitted against black
worker by post war reaction, have
done their utmost to inculcate a
more tolerant attitude in their fol-
lowing. Trade union bodies, large
and small, have gone on record
against the poll tax and against
racial discrimination. But even in
the best of cases, such harmony
as does exist between black worker
and white worker is uneasy and
conditional.
The paper pointed out that so
long as the Negro is not competi-
tor the white trade unionist ac-
cepts him but asked, "Will he ac-
cept the right of the Negro to en-
ployment on a pro rata basis in all
jobs when jobs are in short sup
ply and 100000 100000 or
100000 workers (you can have
your pick of these various esti-
mates) are relegated to the scrap
heap of unemployment?
"The forces of reaction in Amer
lea can be counted on to make the
most of the postwar situation by
stirring up resentement between
the white proletariat and the Ne
gro proletariat. Unless the unions
can cope adequately with this prob
lem, the Century of the Common
Man may turn out to be the Cen
tury Of the Common Mans en-
slavement.

The working relationships in a
plant are greatly influenced by So
cial conditions in the community.
Even in cases where plant manage
ments have established model per-
sonnel practices, this situation can
not be regarded as stable so long
as the community situation re-
mains unstable.

Ford Gets Tax
Case Review

WASHINGTON. May 3l-The
Supreme Court granted petition
of Ford Motor Co. for a review of
lower court decision unfolding
application of Indiana gross in
come tax act TO sales of its prod
ucts through dealers located
within the state. Sales in the
state were made by independent
dealers. who paid in cash upon
delivery for their products or
were financed through independ-
ent companies.
At the same time. the federal
government was granted review
in a case brought by General Mo-
tors for payment of compen-
sation ir addition to a fair rental
value for a warehouse which it
was ordered to vacate on govern
n.ent demand for a year between
June 80. 1912, and June, 1943.
The government contended that
General Motor Corp. was en-
titled to only a fair rental value
for the warehouse. but the APP
peals court upheld General Mo-
tors contention that IL also was
entitled to compensation growing
out of expenses occurred in vacat-
ing the property.

What New
In Business
Germans, English
Tried TO Stop Dow
Nv WARD SCHULTZ

Although most Detroiters look
upon Dow Chemical Co. AS a
twentieth century phenomenon,
which like Topsy-just grew, its
early history is a tale Of con-
slant struggles with cartelS and
foreign interests.
lis two most important prod
ucts were bromine and bleach
both products Of electrolytic
processing OF Michigan brine.
Prior to pioneer Herbert BOWS
entry into the field, Germany
had a corner on bromine and
Belgium and England on bleach.
In 1905, representatives of a
German cartel told Dow that
unless he ceased all exports OF
hromine they would put him out
OF business.
In September, 1905, the price
Of bromine was 20 cents a
pound. The Germans cut TO 13
cents in the early part Of the
year and later to 10. With the
price far below cost, the Ger
mans knew that they could
stand the resultant losses while
Dow could not.

'45 Crop
Quotas Cut

WASHINGTON. May 31-War
Food Administration officials are
pointing farm production goals for
next year toward sharp reduction
in cattle. hogs. poultry and eggs
because of depleted reserves Of
livestock feed. Tentative plans
provide for continued high output
of field crops in 1945, but pros
pective cut in livestock would
lower total farm production 10 a
ievef between those OF 1892 and
1913.
Livestock quotas during the past
three years were based on current
output of feed plus large reserves
built up in prior years. Those re-
serves have been used up and
there Is not enough manpower to
expand feed planting TO levels
necessary TO maintain this years
livestock population. Livestock
industry already Is cutting back
TO meet lower feed supplies.
II is possible the cotton goal
for 1945 may be increased for the
first time since the war started.
Farm experts expect the end of
the war in Europe to bring Euro
pean demand for considerable
American cotton. Although pres
ent overall supplies are relatively
large, there are shortages of some
grades.

Cutbacks Due

On the heels of the announce
ment that the navy has cam
celled Brewster's contract in its
entirety. the army is expected
10 announce general cutbacks in
fighter and light bomber pro-
duction.
With General Motors new
Pts fighter plane coming along,
about the only one of the cur
rent fighter models TO have any
assurance of coming through
unscathed is the Psi Mustang,
longest distance fighter avail
able.
As the Bog output hits its
stride, even Flying Fortress
and Liberator output will be
slashed.
All this constitutes one of the
most discouraging pieces Of
news Hitler ever received; while
Germany is fighting to main
tain abbreviated fighter output,
this country is voluntarily re-
stricting production.
In short, we have more facili-
ties than we can use!

The Best Defense!


Dow studied the situation and
learned that the only place the
Germans had cut was IN this
country, so he INVADED their
markets, selling his bromine
with a German trademark IN
GERMANY for Is cents.
Shortly afterward they called
II quits, admitting defeat for
the first time in German chem
zeal cartel history.
In 1902. the British tried the
same tactics with bleach. They
cut the price from $1.70 a hun
dredweight TO 81. That meant
a loss for the British but a
slight profit for Dow under his
superior methods. so they cut
10 IS cents in 1904.

Harry d. White, treasury di-

He did not disclose the banking
interests unfavorable TO the idea,

believe such an institution would
constitute government intrusion

SIGNS FAVORABLE

AS to the rest. the market signs
are most favorable. They indicate
that the forces making for the re-
covery are likely to predominant.
This does not mean that reactions
will not occur. 1t does not mean
that hesitation at the March peak
will not develop. 1t does not mean
that the averages will go through
the bull market high of July, 1913,
without a period Of considerable
correction. But it does seem to
mean that no b e a r market is
around the corner.
Perhaps the two points in mar
ket action that were most notable
last week were the participant ton
in the rise by high-grade issues
such as American Telephone and
General Motors, and the further
strength in the corporation bond
market. AS / have often pointed
out. no major decline is going to
occur until a good while after the
bond market has turned reaction
airy.
Perhaps the least favorable fact
is that part of the rise has been
due to covering and hasty buying
of those who feared the invasion
filters" Such moves often require
correction.
