Individually, there are movie stars in the
Far West A waiter pointed one out to me
only last week As to bathing beauties, agree
that the more you see of them, the better.
They're H.nA.. Tee
OTHERWISE, Westerners are remarkably like
human beings. l have counted no more
phones to the cubic centimeter in the West
than in any comparable area of the East on
any bright day. But i have never heard
more inspired community boasting
ACalifornian invariably begins by referring
piously to the Far West as Gods Country
and scaling up from there. 1t is inconceivable
to him that any human being would volun-
tarily leave the area.
The West takes it for granted that its
war-born industries are the finest anywhere.
Each western airplane plant has the longest
assembly line in the world" One western rail-
road claims to be the longest while its
rival calls itself the 'longest-in-miles."
Evening star., 1945-05-06

To the Westerners, them's fghtin' words.
Eastern capital, they think, is plotting to re-
centralize industry east of the Mississippi
after the war. This view is held by pessimists
- who prefer to be called realists They pre-
dict that up to 80 per cent of present western
wartime employees will be thrown out of work
and that the Vests fine boom will fzzle out
with feeble pop.
At the other extreme are the optimists -
who also prefer to be called realists. They
believe war plants can be converted with
western money and forge ahead without losing
more than Is per cent of present employees
They are ready with sales campaigns
aimed not only at the United States but
all Latin America and the Orient. They
speak confidently of l,OOO.OOO.OOO postwar
customers for western made products -
aluminium, steel, oil, lumber, wine and pro-
cessed foods, among other things.
Stakes Are Dis
SINCE everybody agrees we are going on the
dizziest spending spree in all history as soon
as we can get things to buy. the stake is
enormous and no western industrialist is 60
ing to give up without struggle.
To many of us high-chair economists. the
whole thing is as confusing as rat race in
washtub. And nothing adds to the confusion
more than the fact that both Fasteners and
Westerners have made habit of not know
ing each other.
To many congenital Fasteners, the Far
West is fabulous place populated princi-
pally by movie stars, bathing beauties, fad

GODS COUNTRY

An Fastener moves West, and
discovers a words-and-dOllars
civil war getting under way
W7HEN we decided to move back to the
w West Coast recently, after several years
in New York. our best friends thought we
had gone daffy Our going away party had all
the determined jollity of nice brisk wake.
Our host tried his best to change our minds.
You'll starve to death out there. he pre-
dicted dourly. The East is the only place
to make living. You can't live on sunshine
and flowers There'n be five million people

bread the day the war ends Poverty Valley

l thought of that conversation the other
day when my California neighbor asked what
l thought of the East WELL" said, 1T is
big and good place to make money"
Nov you've said it all. he agreed. Too
big, too important, too noisy, too unfriendly
and too busy making money to enjoy it.
Fasteners don't know how to live"
asked how long since he'd been East.
"Me?" he demanded. why on earth should
go East? I've never been East and never
intend to CO."
Building Up Fox Years
1T DOESN'T take a crystal gazer to foresee
that clamorous little civil war between East
and West is in the making - not a shootin'
war, but a war of words and dollars.
The conflict has been building up for years.
Most of it has been kidding. But now that
western industry has reared its sooty head,
it is getting semi-serious Its underlying cause
is all that lovely folding lettuce you and
have been saving to spend for commodities
as soon as they become available. Both East
and West will be in the market for your post
war spending. There may be serious rivalry -
unless there's enough business to go around.
About 100000 Westerners are lying
awake nights wondering what's going to hap
