Sales Effort Needed
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 The manager of Chicago's Merchandise Mart a days ago warned merchants that the task Of retail selling after the war may be more difficult than is generally imagined While consumer demand today is great particularly for thousands of articles which are scarce unobainabe that condition may change radically as soon as goods become plentiful according to the speakers reasoning
 Certainly there is good sense in these remarks. The businessman who thinks he will be able to make sweeping postwar sales without any sales effort not only is deludng himself but he may be contributing, unwttingly, to postwar depression
 The only way in which America can maintain a large ratio of the present national income IS by a continued and increasing demand for and supply of civilian goods After the needs of war are fulfilled and victory comes industry must turn from the gov ernment market to work -day markets of ordinary commerce If these markets fail-either at home or abroad-we will see another decline in production; another period of unemployment and depression If, on the other hand, our people take the tremendous reserve buying power and go out shopping, produc- tion can continue and will have continued em- poymont and solid prosperity.
 There is tendency, during periods Of long denial for buyers forget the pleasures they once derived from the use of the articles denied. For instance during this comparatively short period of cigarette shortage hundreds of thousands of persons will give up smoking and there will be many of that number who never will take it again, unless some continued sales effort is made. Americans nave learned that they can get along fairly well with the cars they purchased three four or five years ago.
 The importance of this trend should not be dis regarded by business and industry Sales efforts should be maintained in keeping with facilities, even though goods may not be immediately available And as conditions warrant, America again should continue the sales and marketing practices which have been so successful in the past Not only will industry thus be aided but the economy of the nation also will be safeguarded.

Six months ago the first of the B-29s set the night afire the Japanese home islands with the first attack on the steel-making city of Yawata on Kyushu. It almost five months later before they appeared over Tokyo Now to the almost nightly wailing of the sirens the Japanese have begun ac- cordng to the Berlin radio mass evacuation of their capital city of over 100000 persons
 Every great city of Europe and now most of those of Asia has been target for hostile bombers. The people of London, Paris Rome Cairo, Berlin and Moscow have heard for many years the boodchilling moan of the big horns serving warning that enemy bombers are approaching. To this date the bombing of Japan and it's industrial installations in China and Manchuria has been on relatively small scale Exact figures have not been announced but it is probable that less than a hundred bombers have been used on any one mission Because of the great distances that had to be flown to reach the target the bomb loads probably not impressive. It has been, as the Japanese radio rightly claims largely war of

 Army experts say that undoubt- .edly, some colonels and lieutenant celonels needed to be weeded out for physical or other reasons. The Army had been too lax with its physically unfit during soft and easy years of peace. However, they believe that Gen. McNair swung far too far in the other direction.
 Fortunately, a lot of the troops landing in Normandy were season. ed under fire in Italy. Gen. Mark Clark has done great job there of baptizing troops. Others, such asu Gen. Patch's 7th Army were seasoned at Guadalcanal, but ob- viously there were not enough seasoned troops to man the long front extending all the way from Holland to the Alps, and the Nazis kept probing one spot after another until they found the softest part of the front. Perhaps their intelligence even knew that green commanders bad just come into the line.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not cOmpe"
SUNDAY. JANUARY T

Kindly stars rule today which is suspicious for study and meditation.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under favorable planetary direction today. Happiness should pervade the family circle In view of the enlarged experiences of young men in the service, astrologers point out the importance to mothers and wives of keeping up with current history and with religious observ- ances if they hope to be congenial with returning soldiers.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS; The United States is to be the world leader in business and financial affairs, according to aStrology. Five years of negotiations are foretold with gradual banking agreements leading to final adjustments. This means prosperity for a definite period
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Pensions of divers sorts will be discussed by Congress and urged by many groups, but the planetary signs seem to indicate concentration on proper provision for veterans.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S: This winter marks the extremes Of difficulties for United Nations forces. After next month rapid progress is to be made in the Pacific war. Sudden, overwhelming defeat of the enemy is forecast.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of gain through business initiative. Success in literary work is predicted for men and women.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be fortunate through charm of personality and unusual ! talents.
