. SO THEY SAY

It does not seem that this
country is duty bound to main-
tain a lone permanent world po-
lice force. Neither does it seem
logical for American troops,
whether they engage in actual
fighting or not, to become in
volved in civil wars in China or
elsewhere. - Fond du Lac, Wis,
Commonwealth Reporter.
The price of security will not
be small, but it will be cheaper
in both money and lives than the
risk of unpreparedness for an
other war. - Secretary of War
Robert p. Patterson.
From the day they refused to
grant Republican equal repre-
sentation on the committee, DEM
ocratic leaders have given the
impression they were more con-
cerned with protecting reputa-
tions in the Roosevelt adminis-
trations than in getting at the
truth (of the Pearl Harbor at
tack).-Columbus, O., Citizen.
Whether the nation can re-
convert its industrial facilities
to peacetime production with
out stumbling into VICIOUS spi-
raj of initiation, which will be
followed by depression and an
employment. Is Of vital concern
to every man, woman and child.

him the right to make a. Der

was the margin in which he had
to operate. pay overhead, allow
for taking used cars in on trade

What OPA did in cutting the
discount to 20 per cent was
merely to take into considera-
tion the fact that under war con.
ditions the price of used cars
went up and became Q profitable

IT'S AN INDICATION OF

The whole argument is some-
what academic, in that there
weren't many new cars to sell in
the war years. But Wherry
brought it up. so that's the ex-
ample to uSe.. It's Q good ex-
ample because 1t illustrates the
line Of bad logic that most of
the pressure groups have used
in coming to OPA for price in
creases. They want to ignore
their overall business position
and force OPA to let them show
a profit on every transaction.
which they never did in pre-war
times.
Bowles cited a lot Of figures to
show that all through the war,
American business on an indus
try-wide basis has made more
money than in pre-war years.
Wherry flatly refused to accept
the figures and gave Bowles the
most staggering assignment ever
handed a government agency by
any public official. what
Bowles must produce for him Is
list Of all the price increases
OPA has granted and q list Of
all the requests for price ihcreas-
es OPA has refused.
But what Senator Wherry
should really do to clinch his ar
gument Is produce the books Of

show what OPA has done to his
profits. dollar-wise. during the

MR. REUTHER's PROPOSAL

In the current issue OF common Se'1Se' V'S'O'
G. Reuther proposes that labor for political party
to work for replacement Of "Privote ownership OF
monopostic industries by forms Of social owner
ship He doesn't soy it thot simply. But otter build
ina up fine pseudo-Mopion bonfire, that pro-
poso, neither new nor startling, is oil thot remains
in the embers
The writer is brother Of Walter Reuther, vice
president of the UAW-CIO, and is himself an Off
Ger Of thot unon We do not know how authoritative
y he speaks for his union or labor generally. But in
any cose, he may have to arm himself with dicton
oy and some reference sources before pursuing his
bottle with the stotus quo much farther.
Mr. Reuther begins by saying. in almost many
words. that American labor won the war. niItoriIy
as we'll as industrioIy. Someone will probably chol-
enee that statement. so we will go on to his refer
ence. in disporoene quotation marks. to normal
cy" free enterprise and the American woy as
enemies Of the -Four Freedoms. and his implication
thot they contain the roots Of foscisr.
If fMr. Reuther has dipped even specifically into
the history Of foseism. he must know that it is not
q business-controIed stote. but stote control Of
business and everything else. And he must know
that free enterprise doesn't thrive any better in fos
cist soil than free labor.
The outhor says that the profit-tokine power Of
monopoIistic free enterprise is the bottIeneck pre-
venting full production and full employment. His sole
proof for thot statement is to quote the Iump-sum
wartime increase in profits of 1000 industrial copor-
otions-before toxes
Mr. Reuther should know that even his dulIest
reoders might suspect thot argument Of being some
thing less than oir-teht During the war, the exist
ence Of profits tax become pretty generally
known.
The social ownership he proposes must soys Mr..
Reuther. be absolutely democratic in character"
We doubt thdt even the outhor Of that statement
knows precisely what it means. The unabridged die
tionon definition Of democracy has nothing to say
obout economics. Social (neonine government own
ership is economic technique, and its chorocter
is the same under constitutional monarchy or q
dictatorship Of the proIetoriot.
Mr.. Reuther msconceives the intent Of the lo-
bor-Monoeement Conference. which had been pro-
posed but apparently had not met when he wrote his
piece He speoks Of industry and government gong
ing up" on labor. though President Truman made it
cleor to both porties in his invitation thot it was
their" conference. and the government would not
be on octive participant.
In this connection the outhor speoks Of the an
tquoted theory that government can persuade labor
ond copitoI to join hands and work like brothers
for the common good" That theory may seem tres
onobe to Mr. Reuther and to some men in in
dusty. But lot of US reoctionories think it would
persuodine Mr.. Reuher may even find that this vis-
ion Of effort for the common good is more popular

Declarer ruffed with the seven Of
spades, West overruffed with the
jack. Another club came back.
and, believe It or not, declarer
ruffed with the eight-spot and
East overruffed with the ten.
Thus East and West took six
tricks. OF course, the hand can
easily be made by cashing the
king and ace of spades and then
leading the heart. Leaving the
third trump in dummy Is the
protection needed to make the
