Consumers will begin to find

Every machine will be tagged

tag must stay on the machine
until it is delivered into the buy

To make sure that inexpensive
machines are available to families

couraging manufacturers to make
approximately the same proper

farm families that more low-cost
clothing will be turned out by
manufacturers this fall than al
any time during the past 1a
months.
Furthermore, according to Mr..
Harvey Guertin, District Director
Of the OPA, farm families and
other consumers have the assur-
ance Of Price Administrator Ches-
ter BoWles that controlling cloth
ing prices is one Of the most i'm
portant parts Of OPA's postwar
job.
Clothing manufacturers are
having some difficulty in turning
out as much low-priced clothing
as they normally would because Of
a temporary shortage Of low-cost
materials" Mr.. Guertin explained.
''The end of the war and cuts
in the ne0ds Of the armed forces
will make more low-priced appar-
ell fabrics available to clothing
manufacturers, but it will take
time to get more clothes for civil
ians into production and to get
them out to the stores where farm
ers and others can buy them," he
said.
"More higher quality work
clothes will also be found in stores
in the next several months" Mr..
Guertin said. Recent and future
cutbacks in military requirements
for such fabrics as twills, drills,
jeans, moleskins and cottonades
are expected to make large quanti-
ties Of high quality materials
available to work clothes manu-
facurers. Consumers may pay
more for those higher quality work
clothes because Of the higher cost
Of the material, but the prices will
be in line with March 1912 prices
for garments Of comparable cost"
the OPA official explained. "The
OPA recently took action on pric-
ing of this material which will
hasten production Of the work
Clothes" Mr.. Guertin said.
"The OPA is also working hard
to get more clothing tagged with
the proper retail dollar-and-cen
prices, so shoppers can readily
determine what the correct price
IS.
I'VE will extend this method
of pricing over q wide range Of
lwomens' and childrens'
clothing made Of rayon and wool"
Mr.. Guertin said. "Most child
ren's wear made Of cotton and
good part of the cotton apparel
produced for adults already are
under the dollar-and-cents pric-
ing" he explained.

fact that there is nothing that they
know, except for a few minor gadgets,
that experienced scientists in other
countries do not know. They also ad-
NIT that the basic matter out of which
IL is made, uranium, is no monopoly of
the Anglo-American powers.

gist admits-has large quantities of it

orgnized its significance at least three
wears ago when she tried to buy it in
Canada. Whether she succeeded Or
failed in Canada. she has certainly set
her famous biologists busy to find 1t in
Russia
q The atomic scientists are having to
get to the American people through the
back door OF commentators like my
self in order to warn them that the
weapon cannot be monopolized under
any circumstances for more than two
years. The scientists are advocating
international control by the mutuai
policing of all atomic laboratories and
factories, wherever they may be, fully
realizing that this means an abroga-
tion of national sovereignties
Atomic energy cannot yet be pro-
duced in cellars. 1t requires huge and
visible plants that could certainly be
controlled. The scientists want atomic
energy absolutely barred from the field
of weapons and used internationally
to build great new era in the life of
man.
Now, il the Big Three, Four or Five
had any adequate guarantee and pro-
lection that one or another of them
would not start blowing up the earth,
every single issue in London could be
solved. Behind the smallest issue looms
this great question mark.
1t would, therefore, be well to for
get, tor the moment, Italian frontiers
and colonies. and reconvene San Fran
cisco, open the conference with a meet
ing OF world scientists. confront the
world with the new facts and make a
peace structure which promises peace.

The Need to Aqree

In declaring that Americans should
wait until it is over before labelling
it failure. President Truman sug-
gests that the results Of the meeting
of the Council OF Foreign Ministers
in London may prove to be far less
disheartening than some dispatches
have indicated. b.
The American people-and indeed
every people interested In a good and
lasting peace-must ardently hope
that matters will turn out that way.
The London meeting is merely the
first in a projected series, of course,
but its success or lack of success will
affect the temper of the other meet
ings to follow, and to that extent a
reasonable measure of agreement is
of great Importance at this time.
Otherwise, if there is adjournment
in an atmosphere of deadlock, an
inauSpiciouS start will have been
made on the complex task of Shap-
ing tomorrow's world, and the next
session of foreign ministers will be
handicapped by the disilluSionment
likely to be generated should the
present one fail.
AS after every war, differences
among the Allies are inevitable now.
A whole world has to be rebuilt and
reordered, and in rebuilding and re-
ordering it the victors are bound to
clash on some points. We Americans
have our own ideas on how the Job
should be done. and SO have the
Russians, the British, the French,
the Chinese and all the other mem
berS of the United Nations. This in
itself is more natural than disturb
ing, for what matters most is not
whether different countries have
different policies, but whether those
countries can agree to agree
whether they have the capacity to
reconcile their separate viewpoints
in a great cooperative endeavor to
establish an enduring peace.
issues ike tne control OF Italian
colonial territories, Anglo-American
participation in the political recon-
stitution of Eastern Europe, and
Russia's reported request for larger
voice in japanese affairs can hardly
be settled all at once or without at
least some argument. Sharp debate
and slow progress at London thus
do not necessarily spell failure. The
all-important thing is whether the
foreign ministers, at the close of
their current meeting, offer con-
vincing evidence of a fundamental
desire and ability to agree and CO.
operate. If they do, the world will
have reason to be encouraged.

Modern Warfare
By Dapid Laurence
From the Detroit News.

We think the people OF the United
States and Of the world must have rec
ognized by now that In modern total

gitimate military target. Modern war
requires the total mobilization Of

therefore becomes the prime requisite Of
victory. 1t Is not alone the war plant,
big or little, that Is . required objec.
tive Of military action. The war worker
is military target. So Is his home,
as necessary to his work as the war
plant itself. So is the wife who cooks
his meals. So is the grocer who fur
nishes the food. So is the banker who
handles his funds, and, in fact. so is the
whole economy Of himself and his coun.

for trying to disguise these facts but,
on the contrary. excellent reason for
frankly facing them. It should be under

Russia no longer attempt to conceal the
deadlock among the Foreign Ministers in
London. Spokesman for each country

At home two schools of thought blame
the procedures. One says the meeting
was not we'll prepared.
Another school says that there should
have been a meeting. not of Foreign
Ministers. but among the heads of states:
The President, the Prime Minister and
GeneraliSsimo Stain.
The first criticism seems well-taken;
the second gets us right back where we
are. Suppose they had met? Is there
any reason to think they would have
found formula for agreement that the
Foreign Ministers have been unable TO
fnd?
As things stand, they would not have
found II. For We have been putting the
cart before the horse: We have been
trying to settle matters like the SOW
ereignty of Trieste, the administration
Of African colonies, the inland water
ways OF Europe, handling the picture of
peace as though it were jigsaw puzzle,
into which many tiny parts must be
fitted, before the players know what
the picture is.

More important than any of the dis
cussions going on in London is the dis
cussion that has been going on. with
great secrecy, in this country about what
to do with the atomic bomb.
What makes it impossible to break
the deadlock in London is, not the ra-
cial composition Of the population of
Istria, nor the dispute between collec-
tive and individual trusteeship Of colo
nies, and certainly not the composition
of the next Danubian River Commission,
but the fears of the great powers of

cal Socialists and Popular Republicans
with a sprinkling Of Conservatives OF
the once-powerful Louis Marion Or
ganization
The mood of the French Is being
summed up as follows:
France wishes to see a thorough re-
organization Of her economic structure.
She intends to proceed with the ma
tionalization Of the industries and banks
which previously have been controlled
by small group which sometimes
played with their international COL
leagues against the real interests of
their own fellow countrymen.
The French people demonstrated last
week that they want radical social
changes in the country's economic
structure according to the pattern initi-
ated in 1896 by the leftist government
of the scholarly Leon Blum. The sit
down strikes and the planned "revo-
lutionary" reforms of the Blum admin
istration scared the people, who already
had begun to see the shadow of the
war and hoped better military prepa-
rationS would come from a more con-
servative type of government. Blum
also had committed two major errors in
the field Of interna tional relations; he
refused to support the Spanish Repub-
licans against Franco-some say at the
bidding of the British general staff
and did not press the ratification of the
ussian-French treaty of alliance.
#
The French people want to start all
over again and have indicated their
preference for type of socialism which
Is ready to go ahead with drastic do
mestic reforms. But they also have
shown their desire not to attach France
to any international Chariot"
Now that the war Is over it has be-
come clear to the French people, who
have keen political mind, that an
overwhelming victory by the Commu-
nists would result in Frances becom-
Ing one of Russias many satellites and
the spearhead of Moscow in Western
Europe.
The idea Of western bloc Of powers
on line west of Stettin and Trieste
appeals to the French people. particu-
larly after the antics which were dis
played at the Conference OF Foreign Min
listers in London. They feel that France
can assert herself in the international
field as balancing power between east
and west.
But the French people appear to have
definitely rejected the thought of fol-
lowing the pattern which is being forced
on the Danubian states.

Russian Point of View
By Maj. George Fielding Eliot

IT, as this writer believes, the develop
ment of confidence and friendly rela-
tions between the u. s. S. r. and
the nglo-American peoples is the
key to peace and security for the
future, it behooves us to look at
the world once in a while from the
Russian point of view. Only misunder-
standing and constant friction can come
from the too-easy assumption that our
way of life is necessarily right, or better;
that we have a monopoly Of civic virtue
and the love of freedom, and that those
who may disagree with us are by that
fact proven to be dangerous people.
The Russian policy centers round the
idea of security, as already observed in
previous articles. But security against
what? One may doubt whether the
Russians really believe that they are
in danger of military attack by the
Anglo Americans. They know enough
of our history and our political institu-
tions to understand that aside from the
physical difiollties it is politically I'M
possible for this country or Britain to
set out upon a course OF military ag-
gression. Then what worries them?
Judging from such evidence as Is to
be found in the acts and words of
Russian spokesmen, and from the poll
cies which their officials pursue in low
places and in high the Russians seem
principally concerned about comparisons
of their economic system with ours. The
leaders Of their single and an-powerful
party want to prove to the Russian
people that the system of state social
ism under which Russia Is governed
is the best possible system they could
have in terms of what that system
does for the average man and woman
and the average family. They do not
want the Russian people to draw hasty
and perhaps in-considered comparisons
between their own standard Of living
and that which presently prevails In
the United States and some other free
enterprise countries
y ~
They know that they have long way
to go to catch up, but they believe they
will catch up in time They know that
they have the resources, both human
and material within their own country
to build great, happy and = secure
nation, II only there is no interference
from without. They think OF such in
reference not only III military, but also
In psychological terms. They want Sc
curity against all sorts of interference.
not only against armed aggression.
This y also one Of the reasons why
