FILMS IN FRANCE
(New Haven Journal-Courier

(New Haven Journal Courier
 The French do seem to love scrap! Or perhaps it's just little excited conversation th are fond of. As if they were not getting enough of it in the Petain trial, they are making fuss about the importation of American movie films.
 It seems that before the war, the United States-French trade agree ment permitted the importation into France of 188 films per year. Now the governr -ent believes more than half-say 55 per cent-of all films shown in French theaters should be French. American producers agreed to reduce their number to 108. which allows 12 apiece for eight compan- ieS and the ninth dozen for inde- pendent producers. The French still think the number too high. The money exchange situation is, natur- ally, a factor. There is also British and Russian competition.
 The American tendency in meet ing such problem would probably be to buy more rather than less, make more films rather than fewer at home, show them in more places to larger audiences and make more money all around. The French point of view has always been toward di- vision and thrift. Perhaps as they emerge from their recent unhappy experience into peace and comfort the French will feel more like expan sion. But it will take a while to loosen up.

 bilization, Office of Price Administration and War Labor Board to save their faces and maintain the fiction that the good old line is being held.
 Artful economic lodging of this kind has been going on for some time, though how it kids anyone is hard to see. For instance. the top men tell you the coal wage agreements approved this spring by WLB and OES did not break the Little Steel Formula True there was increase in basic wage rates But the miners got increased traveltime pay, overtime for all work after 35 hours week, more money for second and third shifts, and vacations with pay.
 What usually isn't mentioned in the same breath is that as result of these fringe adjustments OPA had to allow increase in the price of coal So is this holding the line, or isn't it?
 The popular theory around Washington now is that certain wage. increases can be granted without increasing prices and that price ceilings can be raised without necessarily increasing wages. They're both good tricks if they can be done. But how?
 One proposal is to remove from VILE authority any wage agreements made between employers and employees provided the contracts do not call for higher prices of the product. That would ease the

Good News From Potsdam

It entirely too early anyone pretend to be able to evauae with nay the results of the cent Big Three Conference in Potsdam But most people likely will agree that the information made available cerning the meeting encourages something stronger than

 Meanwhile at least two reported conclusions of the conference to meet with virtually unanimous proval among democratic nations.
 The lesser of these the declaration that Franco Spain will not be considered for admission into the family of United Nations Words superfluous this proposition bcause it inconceivabe among democratic peoples that either Franco anything he typifies could be received in fellowship among deocraces Of more importance ut

SITE FOR A WORLD CAPITAL
(New York Times)


 In these days of air transporta- ton approaching the speed of sound the new world capital where the United Nations agencies will be set up could be made accessible almost anywhere except in the polar regions. There still remains the problem of where it could be most suitably located. Philadelphia has had her say and there are historic points in her favor. Now what is termed discreet" campaign has been undertaken on behalf of some point near San Francisco. The argu- ments here are appealing. Except for coastal fogs, which can be avoid ed by moving bit inland, northern California has a more tolerable climate than any great world cap- ital, including The Hague and Geneva. On the air map Fairbanks, Alaska, is more on the direct line of travel, but it's climate would not suit most of us so well.
 The San Francisco region has arl- other advantage, though Europeans llldy 1lOb ICSd1A 41 CD ouCA4. AO 3OSk>o out on what is now and is likely to be for a long time the worlds most critical ocean. The West and the East meet there more truly than at Suez. The pillows that break on the Seal Rocks may transmit the belated shock of typhoon in the China Sea. The weather, as all readers of George Stewards Storm" will remember, comes from that di- rection. The political and economic weather for generations in the fu- ture may come from that direction, too, and the world capital must be able to control it, as natural weather cannot be controlled.
 The immediate problem is not where the United Nations meet but what they are able to accomplish. They did accomplish something at San Francisco and might do more in that neighborhood. Let other cities speak up, but let this candid acy he made matter of record.

problem off the VILE doorstep and out from under the Little Steel Formula ceiling. But where do sllcb situations exist?
 Labor leaders have recently become quite alarmed over OPAs new price policies for the reconversios period The original idea was to have manufacturer start producing goods for sale at 1922 prices But the way it works out, most manufacturers will be permitted to add allowances for increases in tha cost of production which have occurred since 1941.
 What all these authorized price increases will add up to, no one can tell But they are bound to mean some increase in the cost of living.
 The device of granting fringe increases. as in the coal cases, has been mentioned. OES Director William H. Davis gave his old pals on WLB authority to do that last April
 At the end of May employers were told they could raise minimum wage rates up to 55 cents an by raising the authorized minimum to 65 cents Davis is known to favor this step for certain lowpaid in- dustrieS
 Removing regional wage differentials might be another means of increasing pay. That would bring southern wage levels up to northern averages though it wouldn't help the high bracket men in the north- ern industrial centers where living costs highest
 Taking look at an industrys profits might offer another ecsape If it were found that any industry could pay higher wages and still make more money than 1t did in prewar times, pay increases could be wrung out of the earnings
 Finally, there might be an admission that the Bureau of Labor Statistics cost of living index on which the original Little Steel Formula was based, living costs. Whereas BIS now admits to a wartime increase of less than 30 per cent labor groups con tend the actual increase is closer to 45 per cent If the government sabilization experts ever admit to that variance the way will be cleared for lot of pay raising.

 That's the way it goes with the witnesses. and they don't even seem to be witnesses as we know the term. There's no putting in of evidence under questioning we do in the States. Instead, each witness makes speech. Sometimes it seems they defend themselves more than they condemn Petain. Daladier, for instance, devoted much of his test- mony" to refuting the charge that he. paadier was largely responsible for Frances defeat because or lax armament policy during his years as Premier ana Minister of War.
