Heavy Selling
Hits Market

NEW YORK, March s QNS)-
Heavy selling hit the stock mar
ket- -in-tite last hettr- ct trading
today after the session had idled
through four hours of dull and
confused trading.
The stock ticker fell behind as
heavy liquidation orders Swamped
the list and prices fell two points
and more.
Declines ran 20 more than 2
points in II. S. Steel. more than a
point in international Telephone,
more than two points in Gulf OIL
and Standard of New Jersey, and
nearly 4 points in Santa Re.
Motor stocks also were hard hit,
Ghrysler giving up nearly 3 points
and General Motors about half
that much.
In the rails, In addition 10
Santa Fe, Chesapeake & Ohio,
Pennsylvania and New York Cen
tral were weak.
The selling was understood in
the Street as being touched off
by the announcement that Ameri-
can troops had crossed the Rhine,
giving a decided early peace com
pleXiOn TO The market. In addi-
tion there was the continued talk
OF 100 per cent margins and other
curbS on speculation. The ticker
fell four minutes behind the floor
OF The Exchange.
Bond and curb prices turned
easier in keeping with the big
board and commodities were sold
steadily.

Deserve No Sympathy

The estimate of seven million workers IDLE
in September, which Sidney Hillman, head OF
the CLIO and Of clear through Sidney fame
at the last national democratic convention,
has arbitrarily raised to ten million, is OF
course bad prospect. 1t could be hoped that
the reconversion program had been started
earlier, so that industry generally might now
be ready to absorb these workers, as well
as returning veterans needing industrial jobs,
instead Of having their major task OF prepar.
ing for peacetine production ahead But we
find it difficult to shed a tear for workers
temporarily out Of jobs during reconversion,
Or more accurately, those among them who
were employed during the war period on war
contracts when they received higher wages
than ever came their way before.
There was no need for them to practice
frugality in order to lay away large savings
against the time they knew full well would
arrive with cessation o; hostlities, when they
would have to tide over period Of unemploy-
ment. If they are now caught without money
in reserve it is their own fault and theirs
alone.
1t is not as if the situation now complained
of 50 bitterly by Mr.. Hiliman had not been
foreseen and fully advertised. That there
would be widespread idleness during recon-
version has been publcized from the incep-
ton o. the wars industrial program. No man
who worked through the super-production
period can fail to have been well advised OF
what would transpire in the employment field
when peace came If he lacks the where.
withal now TO carry him over the slack en-
ployment period it is simply because he
chose, of his own free will, to waste his earn
ings instead Of boarding them.
There may be cases where illness in the
family or other heavy drain upon the work.
er's income have kept him from saving but
they are the exception rather than the rule.
As a general thing, workers have had op-
portunity to lay away enough money during
the four years of war to live in comfort dur
ing reconversion. They deserve no sympathy
if they have not done SO.
Certainly they do not deserve federal COM
pensation, which would have to come from
the Taxpayers while idle, as proposed in the
unemployment compensation bill which will
be on the congressional schedule next month
and which Mr.. Hillman declares necessary
legislation.

would have to continue the battle even after
he had received Japan's surrender. Instead
of being ended, the Pacific war would drag
on until the last japanese soldier was killed

Dealing with a people whose leaders are
most distinguished for treacaery, it is only
too probable that this might happen. How.

Food Shortages

Shortages in certain foods are bound to con.
they were thrown early in the war and the
repeated experiments which succeeded only in
snarlng them worse were too well done to
straighten out quickly. OPA confusion was too
thorough going.
Even if there were no reason for the United
States to make food contributions abroad, the
shortages would still continue until private
enterprise had chance at production and
distribution The American people may expect
to find food shelves sparsely filled and butch
ers' cases all but empty, for long time to
come The war is technically over, but its
food aftermath will be long in disappearing.
This may be borne with better grace when
it is realized that without American aid the
impoverished peoples of Europe would have
to endure, and many succumb to, privation
during the approaching winter and SO be de-

The United States must do it's share IN feed

itself. The main difference between tae fool
