Price De-ControI
Needed Now

Farmers want new machinery; house
wives want washers, refrigerators; John O.
and Mrs. Public want new car, new
radio -.
Making and delivering these and many
more new things will provide jobs for vet
Grams, for displaced war-workers
Manufacturers want to make them, sales
men and dealers want to supply them
It's as simple as that. Or, it should be!
But, there's the OPA. Created to main
tam necessary price control in wartime, it
refuses to recognize the probabilities of
peace.
Large volume production, with conse-
quent large volume of employment, can
only be attained by the manufacturers under
fair prices which yield fair incentive profits.
Such prices should recognize all current
costs, including those of administrative and
selling expense, plus the profit margin the
factories experienced in the highly COM
petitive prewar years of 1899 or 1910, or
an average of the two.
This is what business asks, and certainly
1t seems reasonable

Can The Planners

If the regulators who have had control
OF production and selling of such necessi-
ties as sugar, meat, milk products, clothing
and commodities used by the averae e
American family, are responsible for the
time the American people were given the
shortages we are now experiencing, it is
facts, and let the chips fall where they NAV.
The planners of our sugar supply started
their control experiments in the thirtieS.
ana the net result is economic diSlocationS
and serious shortages of this basic product
IN every family and industry In spite of
Such record under a planned economy, it
has been proposed to bring all basic foods
under worldwide centralized control.
Lawrence Sullivan, writing in the Nations
Business, asks the question: Does world
planning by committees and chartiStS pro-
duce adequate supplies, or do free markets
call forth more dependable abundance"
Under the planned sugar program of 1884,
American beet sugar production was re-
Strlcted and our needs allocated to various
areas, including Cuba, Hawaii. the Philip
pines, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and scat
tered sources After the Japs struck at Pearl
Harbor, we lost enormous sugar production
IN the Philippines, Hawaii, and the Carib-
bean areas. But despite these losses. the
planned restrictions on United States beet
production were continued in full force and
were not eaSed until time for planting the
l94o beet sugar crop. Had acreage lirnita-
tons been lifted when losses began, more
United States sugar would have come to
market by October, 1912.
If we want things to eat and wear, and
buy and sell, in the United States, it is time
we demanded a free peacetime economy
under which individuals can carry on with
out the permission of professional planners.
Otherwise, we may be eating sawdust in
another five years. Like government owner
ship, a compulsory planned economy in
peace will destroy free America.

Poor Solution

In Paris, the lights may soon be dimmed.
In the huge textile mills of Lyons, the
spindles are idle. In Belgium the great steel
mills in Liege, Charleroi and La Louviere
are shut, and in many an European village
there is ample food, but no way to get it to
the hungry cities, says Time magazine.
Why is the economy of Western Europe
still paralyzed? 1t has coal famine. Like
a wagon without a horse it lacks the power
to start. Until the coal shortage is solved,
there is little chance that Europe'S shat
tered economy can be rebuilt or that any
SiZeable trade with the United States can
be revived, says Time.
The only remedy that France suggests is
TO nationalize its coal mines 1t seems to
have the idea that state socialism of indus
try, such as the Hitler government estab-
lshed will in some miraculous manner en-
courage increased production, even though
it destroys the incentive that flows from
individual opportunity.
According to the latest figures, this fuel
year will see the United States 81 million
tons short of its coal needs We tried tenn
porary Specialization of the coal mines as
remedy for coal strikes. The result was
not surplus coal but continued shortages.
One gloomy official in the European area,
says: IF the people don't get coal, you can
count on chaos and revolution" That would
mean less coal and more freezing. We had
the modern revolution strikes - in the
United States mines when our country faced
its greatest war danger. And the result was
less coal. 1t takes more than revolution
and government seizure of property to get
production. Until the people learn this they
must expect suffering.

Paste This In Your Hat

Writing in NeWSweek, Ralph Robey states
few facts that every private citizen should
paste in his hat and this goes double for
every public official having authority to
spend tax dollars. Almost every day some
new plan is proposed for spending hundred
million, 500 million, or billion tax dollars
of the peoples money. Mr.. Robey suggests
that we stop and think where all of this
money is coming from-certainly not from
the men in the legislative bodies who pro-
pose spending it. He points to twelve years
of depression after 1929 and asks the ques-
ton, "Are those the years in which we ac-
cumulated the great riches we now pro-
pose to deal out SO laviShly? f.. For the
nation as a whole those were years when
we had to draw down. not increase our
backlog of wealth.
"We have produced an incredible amount
of goods. But it has been, or is in the process
of being largely destroyed. A nation does
not become wealthy by destroying wealth
Wherein, then, do we get the idea that we
are now so rich that we no longer need
to think second time about spending few
billions here and there? The answer really
is quite simple. 1t is to be found in the
fact that we have not paid for the war as
we went along"
In other words, we are in debt up to our
eyes.
The billions of dollars of bonds and de-
posts and paper money we now have for
the most part represent goods which no
longer exist If they are worth anything
in the future, said Mr.. Robey, it will be only
because they are validated by new produc-
ton. That's what the politicians and the
people must remember, when they talk
about spending more billions for peacetime
public projects which are not absolutely
necessary We are coming out of this war
n much poorer nation and we can afford
much less today than we could ten years
ago. Government should offer every posi-
he encouragement to individuals and indus
try to produce and save and create new
wealth, and cuts its own expenses to the
bone.
Paste this in your hat, for you will need it.

II e,rEs
| from the
Iotfice Of
Veteran S


With victory over japan final and
complete. Michigan communities are
taking careful inventory of local re-
sources for serving returning serv-
icemen and stepping up the tempo
of preparations. And in the mat
ter of preparedness, Michigan may
truly be said to have a flying start
on most all of the other states.
In Michigan, there have been
organized, under the leadership of
the Office of Veterans Affairs, 153
veterans centerS in as many Mich
igan communities Those few yet
unorganized may have immediate
and intensive assistance of the of
flee in setting up veterans centers
upon request.
Employment A Problem
Many communities, anticipating
the fact that cessation of war pro-
duction will throw many out of
work until factories can convert to
the production of civilian goods.
have undertaken block to-blOck and
Store-tO-Store surveys to build up
a backlog of jobs for returning
servicemen. They are speeding plans
for public works to provide tempo
rary employment during the
changeover period With the cam
collation. of gasoline rationing,
steady trek of non-Michigan work
erS back TO their homes has begun.
How we'll communities meet the
demand of veterans for Jobs will
provide the initial test of the sue
cess of community planning for
veterans.
Housing Another Task
Larger communities. particularly
those south of Bay City, have I'M
dertaken housing surveys in behalf
of returning veterans, for many
have married since donning the
uniform and cannot return to their
room under the old home roof. A
job and place to live comprise the
veterans first needs.
Expect 10000 Per Month Soon
The Office of Veterans Affairs
expects that, within 80 days, 10000
veterans a month will return to
Michigan. with a gradual but steady
increase in succeeding months.
The veteran rightly looks to his
home community for help" an Of
flee of Veterans Affairs spokesman
declared. The parents, friends and
neighbors can be counted upon to
lend him a hand because of their
esteem and affection. But these
hometown Well-wiSheS must be
organized TO do an efficient lob.
All local resources must band to-
gether with but one thought - to
help the veteran. no matter what
his problem may be- The fighting is
over, the glamor of the uniform
will soon fade But if our thanks
is sincere and lasting, as it should
be. the veterans every need will be
satisfied right in his old home

To the Editor:
The Wyandotte News Herald
Dear Sir:
In your issue of August 80.
see where Councilman Kelly pro-
posed to provide a meeting hall for
disabled American veterans. He
proposed that industry and bust
ness form a committee to provide
a building for them.
Mr.. Editor. you know as well as
I do that We flew the flag and
sung the praises of the boys while
they were on the front Our I'M
wounded veterans who will come
back in one piece are certainly not
going to begrudge anything this
community will do for the men who
were disabled.
People of this community should
be proud that the downriver section
now has Disabled Veterans Post
organized and it would be asking
very little of the industries of the
downriver area to donate enough
money to build these veterans a
suitable building in a good location.
After all these industries made
millions on this war and whatever
they would donate to such a cause
would be deductible from their
taxes.
Hoping you will find space in
your public letter box column for
this 1 am,
Very truly yours.

To the Editor
Wyandotte, Mich.
Dear Sir:
Your recent editorial hailing the
proud record of the American
Merchant Marine is indeed a fine
tribute to all who have helped
make possible the greatest trans
portation job in history.
We are glad that in citing the
wartime accomplishments of our
vast maritime industry, you made
1t point to mention that the mer-
chant marines task is not COM
pleted with the announcement Of
VI Day.
The repatriation Of our troops,
the rehabilitation of liberated coun-
tries and the importation Of raw
materials needed by Americas
peacetime industries will require a
tremendous amount of shipping for
some time to come Foreign trade is
one Of the keystones of Americas
prosperity. The men who sail the
ships and the American-flag steam.
ship companies who manage the
ships now stand ready to continue
in peacetime the proud record Of
our wartime fleet.
Sincerely yours.

HOLLYWOOD, July 3.-Of ne
cessity a Hollywood reporter
deals to a great extent with press
agents. Imagine my chagrin to
find myself interviewing a re-
formed press agent; that is, il
turning into an actor could be
called reforming.
He was Dana Andrews. Not
only was he once press agent,
but he is now playing one in
Fallen Angel The character is
somewhat of no-good and 1t is
possible that the Screen Publicists
Guild will rise up in wrath at
such SANDER of their profession.
Dana explained that when he
lived in Huntsville, Tex, he had
the job of publieizing pictures at
the old Dorothy Theatre, now
called the Life. Often his exploits
landed him in trouble.
"Once / was advertising the
picture Dirigible'." he related.
$50 I got a bucket of whitewash
and painted the name of the pic
ture all over the sidewalks and
buildings"
His stunt sold the picture all
right, but it cost the theatre man.
agement $50 fine for defacing
public property.
While Dana was attending Sam
Houston Teachers College in
Huntsville he helped support him
self by publicizing the schools
stage productions.
''Once the school was putting
on the play The Goose Hangs
High l dreamed up a terrific
stunt for it. We strung a rope
across Main street ana hung a
cage on it with a goose inside.
THE only trouble was that the
kid who was supposed to feed the
goose forgot to and it died. Then
the SPCA got after us.
1t was during his Huntsville
days that Dana decided he could
be a movie actor. He had rugged
up a phonograph device which
could supply sound effects for the
silent pictures at the Dorothy.
Because Dana operated the ma
chine he had to see the pictures
over and over. The first time he
was engrossed in the picture. But
on the next few times he observ-
ed the actors and realized what a
cinch it was to act.
After many lean years, Dana
has finally achieved success.
Since Laura" he signed a new
contract with Sam Goldwyn. and
goth Century-Fox which will net
him $1,500,000 in seven years. No
agents fees, no options, no lay
offs.
No more press agenting.
