Belgija

Vlada premijera Huberta Pier
lota, raspustena je u proslu sre-
du Is. february. Prestolonasled-
mix Charles je poverio organize
vanje move Wade Achille van
AckeIu, kojeg niJe nf imenovao

te u jed'nstveni kabinet," ma ce-
mu on sada radi kriza &c "a mo-
menat biti izbegnuta i vlada II
ganizovana.
U Belgiji je izveden straik ug-
ljokopaca, koji traje vec wise cd
tri nedelje. Tvrdi Sc da je tai
strajk politickog karaktera i da
hi izmena u vladi privela strajk
kraju.
Izgleda da SUI levicari, nakon

zovati istu ma wise levicarsko.j

je SUI pucale u masu ma ulici, ko-
nacno saznali da je snaga rad
nth masa, cak i u obliku obienog
strajka, jaca tvornicama nego
ma ulicama. l cinjenica da SUI
| stavili vladu, ne samo u skripac,
nego je cak razorili, dokazuje
tacnost toga. Sta hi bio kada bi
radnici umesto strajkovanja pre-
uzeli industriju, pa jos primenill
to preuzimanje ma sve industr1-
je, reakcija nebi imala drugog
izbora nego da Sc preda.
Mozda &c radnici u Belgiji /
u ostalim Evropskim zemljama
Ii ovo naskoro saznati, ako ne
drukce, onda bar putem gorkog
iskustva i podnasanja zrtava.
Dok SUI radnici "protestvovali'

Time To Pay Bills

With the war over, our government Is
faced with the problem of making its in
come greater than its outgo. This is more
necessary than ever because of the maGni-
tude of our national debt. A suitable re-
turn from every public expenditure be-
comes imperative.
In the years ahead, our country will spend
billions of dollars on roads and alrportS for
the benefit of all citizens, who will be taxed
heavily for their construction. Such facili-
ties will be used by corporations operating
for private profit and competing with the
railroad industry which buys its own right
of-way, builds its own tracks and terminal
facilities, and pays heavy taxes on the whole
works, including its equipment.
The war just ended has graphically illus
trated the indispensability of perfect work
ing railroad system for mass movements of
men and materials. To what extent should
its competitors be subsidized by permitting
them to use public properties without COM
pensatory taxation to offset the added pub
lie costs involved in providing them with
facilities for operation? AS billions of tax
dollars are poured into public rights-ot-way,
the problem of adequate taxation of COM
mercial users of such properties becomes
daily more important. Truck and airplaneS
same as the railroads. But public highways,
for example, must be built much stronger
and wider and bridges much heavier to
serve commercial trucking equipment which
today is approaching the size and weight of
railroad freight cars, than for private auto
mobile traffic.
In Oregon, several logging operators have
found it to their advantage to build their
own trucking rights-of-way on which they
operate like a railroad train, with heavier
equipment than can be allowed on state
highways. Such competition stands on its
own feet and pays its own way. 1t would
be unfair to ask the general taxpayer to
build and maintain state highways suffi-
GENTLY heavy to handle such equipment.
You might as we'll ask him to allow railroad
tax subsidies in order to give users of rail
transportation lower rates
The day is here when commercial trans
portation must return TO the government all
costs entailed in building and maintaining
that portion of public rights-ofway which
it uses.

Making Inventions
Practical Through
Industrial Research

With jet propelled planes now a reality,
and with the atomic bomb releasing forces
beyond the conception of man, who can pre-
dict what tomorrow's world is going to be?
To show how industry must meet rapidly
changing conditions, says the Shell Oil
Company, take the fabrication of Jet pro-
pulSion engines. The axle is the only NOV
ing part, as contrasted with the conven-
tional internal combustion aircraft engine
which has hundreds of moving parts where
the lubricant must cool, seal, lubricate, sea-
venge, act as a gear lubricant, and as a
hydraulic fuel In the jet propulsion engine
it cools and lubricateS only, but it passes
through temperatures from we'll below zero
to 800 and 1000 degrees in a matter of sec
ondS. fabrication and cooling are accom-
pliShed by means of a miSt-like spray con-
Sisting of 50 per cent chilled compressed
air and per cent oil. The spray is directed
on the ball bearings at either end of the
engine, and is exhausted to the Jet.
Modern inventions would be useless I'M
less industry was able to solve the technical
problems incident to their adoption and use
by the general public And oil has had to
solve more such problems than most in
duStrieS.

What Do We Want?

In commenting on Washington political
pressure to maintain bureaucratic controls
In peaCetime, the Cleveland Trust Company
Business Bulletin of August Is, says IN part:
There are two chief issues at stake which
are highly important for American business.
The first is that of the freedom and speed
with which industry will be enabled to re-
convert to civilian production. In the main,
lnduStrialiStS believe that all wartime con-
trolls should be lifted as fast as they can be.
Those who hold this opinion are not think
ing only of production controls. They have
in mind also controls over wage ceilings,
prices, materials, and consumer ratiOning
except for few genuinely scarce necessities
of life
Chairman Krug of the WPB shares that
view, but he is opposed by important groups
within the administration. They favor con-
tinued controls over the ALLEGATION of mate
rialS, and over their use to make finished
products. They want price, wage and profit
controls
Their economic doctrine really cOnsti-
tutes the second important issue that is at
stake. 1t is whether :. we are going to
have free enterprise system. The answer
almost certainly is that if we continue our
wartime controls :. we shall have aban-
doned our basic competitive free enterprise
system Proponents of retaining controls
do not admit this. They argue that by re-
tanning them in peaCetime we shall be keep
ing and improving our competitive economy,
but in reality they want strict governmental
regulation of competition.
These discussions involve many argu-
mentS about initiation. Friends of OPA
claim both price controls and profit ceilings
must be retained through the period of re-
conversion in order to avoid serious price
Invitations. Their opponents point out that
the one reliable safeguard against initiation
is large-scale production. Price controls are
untrustworthy, and inevitably prevent full
production. Under prevailing economic con-
ditionS an inclusive system of price controls
is more likely to foster initiation than to pro-
tect us against it"

II Can Happen Here

Prosperity can't be measured by saying
man earns so much-expressing it in cents
per hour or dollars per year. The total figure
may sound like lot but it doesn't reveal
the true measure of prosperity he may
enjoy
Good living depends on many things
tax laws, the putting of convenienceS and
luXurieS in reach of large number of peo-
pie, cost of goods. Yes, good living depends
on many things that change from time to
time and differ in every country. Prosperity
depends, on the whole, on what people must
pay for the things they need and want.
Paying a few cents extra for any article
by the average man would not of course
disrupt our economic system-if the average
man was but one consumer out of the mil
lions who live in the United States. But
there are many plain" people who are pay
ing heavily for luxuries-not in one lump
sum-but paying heavily through few
scattered pennies for different commodities.
Maybe paying penny more than normal
seems pretty unimportant. But-remember
that penny can lead to another penny-and
another-and another.
