Experts Agree
On Good Era
BY LEWIS HANEY
Professor of Economics. N. Y. Univer

Professor OF Economies, ~. n. University
Where are the prophets of
gloom today? What has become
of the apple men-the ones who
predict that yhen our boys come
marching home they will be sell
ing apples on every street corner?
When are the forecasters of "de-
hation' 10 be right?
These questions occur to me as
I read the interview given out by
Bernard Bafuch in London, where
he appears as the recognized ad-
wiser of President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Baruch is reported to have
stated that for returning Amer
lean service men there will be
more work in the United States
than there will be hands with
which 10 do it,"
He further stated that there
will be a wave of prosperity fol-
lowing the var that will carry
over for five to seven years, and
that this is so certain that it will
occur mo matter what is done or
not DONE"
This is strong and definite
language-perhaps too strong and
definite. But coming from the
very astute and successful Mr.
Baruch, it is highly significant.

List Drops
I'm Buying

In the Detroit area, as is nor
NAL during the period immedi-
ately following Easter. the week
was characterized by a sharp
drop in volume OF retail sales.
Purchasing was also unfavorably
influenced by lower temperatures
and rain, Dun & Bradstreet re-
ports.
In department stores, repre-
sentative units reported a decline
in sales from the same calendar
week but the pre-Easter week
of 1914 or about 35 per cent. but
a smaller percentage drop from
the previous week. Buying in gen.
eral was store-wide with interest
shown In staples as we'll as sea-
sonal apparel, while garden sup
plies and hardware were in fairly
active demand. For the month nf
March volume was about 20 per
cent above last year and up TO 35
per cent higher than February
sales of the current year.
Speciality shops also made SUBJ
stantial gains for March, and for
the week as against last year,
volume declined less than IN de-
partment stores.
Mems furnishings and clothing
stores participated in the up
trend, making gains even greater
than women's apparel shops and
departments for March, as against
the month Of last year. Most re-
tailers report inventories very
low.

MAJORITY CONCUR

In a general way. majority
OF economists probably concur in
the foregoing opinion, as do. The
reason for il NAV be summed up
as follows: The existence Of great
scarcities throughout the world,
based upon long-unsatisfied de-
sires. vast accumulations of cur
rency c"purchasing powerD, and
tremendous shortages of goods.
For years, people have been going
without all sorts of goods, while
their money incomes have grown
and resulted in huge savings
Meanwhile, destruction and
wear have gone on. so that no
matter what productive capacity
we may have IL will take years
10 catch up with demand.
NEED INCENTIVE
Furthermore, the so-caiied pro-
ductive capacity is not going to
become very effective unless and
until incentive is given TO pro-
ducers. Accordingly, we may be
pretty sure that incentive actually
will be given. This development
Will mean the abandonment-of
collectivist social planning" so
that individuals can spend their
liquid savings as they choose. 1t
will mean the recognition OF the
function and the rights of savers,
investors and enterprisers. Con-
fidence based on fair taxation and
stable objective standard Of
value. will be required.
These are the probable condi-
tions which justify Mr.. Baruch's 5
forecast. They will bring a pros
perity' soon after the war, which
should last for five years.
HE DOESN'T AGREE
But one or two Of Mr.. Baruch's
statements may be questioned. l
don't agree that il makes no diff
ference what is done now. Surely
Mr.. Baruch doesn't mean that if
we kill free foreign trade. con-
tinue the Keynes managed cur
rency experiment, carry on OPA
price-fxing, and guarantee all
workers" a minimum annual
wage and full employment" we
will prosper. Probably he is just
chiding those who think that eco-
nomic laws are less important
than politics.
He goes on TO say that what
comes after seven years depends
on the peace the big boys are pre-
pairing" But this is no more true
than the preceding statement. 1t
does make some difference what
the big boys do. but they can't
prevent a recession after the pro-
spective boom. any more than
Eccles. Vinson and Bowles can
stop the boom.
In fact. it is depressing to find
Mr.. Baruch himself advising de
industrialization" of Germany and
Japan. and asserting that cheap
imports reduce our standards of
living. And !. for one, don't like
his thought that after lending
money 10 our servicemen, the gov
ernment must then protect them
against auto ,.alesmen and advise
them "authoritatively" what they
can do with the loan. (But maybe
that doesn't make any difference
eitherD

Welcome Awaits Gillette

Announcement that Col. George w. Gillette
is to return to Wilmington as Army District
Engineer is welcome news. He has been miss
ed during the war while on duty in districts
in Virginia, Massachusetts and Washington
Estate and city,.
1t is not intended to imply that Whining
tons wartime engineers have not performed
their duties as all members Of the Engineer
sd owithcidrt e,bW W MFWY WK M &c
their duties as all members the Engineer
Corps do. with credit, but to note that as
native Of southeastern North Carlina the
Colonel knows its needs and opportunities
more intimately than they.
1t was in recognition of his ability that the
War Department called him to larger fields
of activity with the outbreak of hostilities. 1t
is with the same recognition Of his especial
fitness for service in the Wilmington district
in peacetime that he is being returned.
Colonel Gillette worked incessently when
here, not only on the problems of navigation,
but the development of sounds and inlets for
increasing the areas supply of shell fish a
largely overlooked asset. But for the war
and his assignments elsewhere it is fair to
think that the regions shell fish resources
would have been tremendously increased as a
result of his encourageme and conservation
efforts His return, therefore, may be viewed
as an economic as well as strickly engineer
ing advantage.

Writer Finds Presence OfU. S. Marines
In China Becomes More Controversial

4. In Running: A good thousand
miles away from the nearest Am
erican Leatherneck, 5000 students
are on strike after. issuing an open
letter to President Truman and
American students. A report from
Shanghai quotes this letter as say.
ing:
while we appreciate your help
in defeating japanese Fascism, we
hope you will reconsider your I'm.
reasonable policy and cease to help
those who are responsible for civil
war
The dynamite in this statement
lies in whom the students seem to
think is responsible for civil war.
Since no one has accused Ameri-
cans of helping the Communists.
it can only be assumed that the
students are thinking of Chang
Kai-shek's government.
The students are striking, it's
reported, in protest against the
continued presence of American
troops in China and against the Of
fetal government ban which has
been clamped down on student
meetings.
A recent open-air meeting was
broken up by hand-grenade ex.
ploSion which killed four students

sitting. The object disappeared and
Mrs. Rawls. who was alone at the
time, resumed her reading.
Presently she felt something
crawling on her arm, which she
soon recognized asta spider. With
swift movements the spider was
killed, as it became tangled in q

spider and it is supposed to have
been brought into the house on
wood from a saw mill.
