The following is related by the
Rev CASTOR Foote (White), pastor
of Grace Methodist Church, Day
ton, Ohio, in a sermon recently
delivered - you CAN'T GO
HOME AGAIN.;
Some months ago a famous
hero from the European battle
front returned to his home town,
Jackson, Mississippi. This young
Lieutenant had distinguished
himself the the heroic feats that
he had accomplished with artil-
lery fire. Among those manning
this particular gun was the
Negro sergeant. When the home
town turned out on masse to
honor the hero they found the
Colored sergeant in the group
When the Lieutenant was in
formed that he could not bring
the Negro sergeant TO the ban
quet, he said, But | cannot go
unless | bring my entire crew
Failure to bring all of my men
would be failure TO tell the whole
story That colored sergeant
saved my life and | would not be
here 10 tell my story were it
not for his heroism,' So the
Negro came along and sat by the
side OF the hero because he, too,
had been called upon TO give his
life for his country. Ironically
enough, Senator Bilbo was alb
sent from the banquet. You see
We cannot do the thing to people

 George Allen, on the other hand, specializes in rollicking, parlor hu- mor, usually telling jokes on him. self. One of them is apout his college days as a footballer when his team was trailing by a lopsided score and one of his teammates fumbled the ball.
 Pick up the ball and run with it." someone yelled at Allen.
 "Pcik it up yourself" Allen yelled back. You're closer to it."

SEARS ROEBUCK INVADES
 LATIN AMERICA

The advent of certain U. s. in- terests on the retail business scene of Latin America may bring about a mercantile revolution in those countries.
 More than a year ago, Sears Roe buck and Company made plans for moving into the Mexican retail field on a limited scale. A careful study of consumer demand and pur- chasing power, however, led con- pany officials to expand the pro- feet, and it was decided to market the full line of Sears merchandise ill Mexico. More important, these goods are to be sold at flat 20 percent mark-up over Sears retail prices in the United States.
 This figure contrasts sharply with the 100-300 percent mark-up oyer U. $. retail prices now charged for American goods in Mexico CityS principal department stores, most of them French-owned.
 Sears has purchased the building and property occupied for almost thirty years by the American school in Mexico City. Although the re- novation and enlargement now be- ing carried out may not be com pleted for another year, the com pany is already pouring vast quan- titles of merchandise into the coun- try and storing it in rented ware houses. Items range from the sim plest farm tool to parlor furniture and fur coats. As one of MexicoS leading customs brokers remarked: {:
 Where other stores bring in a couple of carloads of U $. goods every month, Sears has shipped a dozen trainloads in the past ninety days"
 The whole deal, including the confidence shown by Sears experts in their calculations, has given ng-established French dry goods firms a fine case of jitters. They have controlled the market for more than half a century, but do not have the merchandising power to compete effectively with the Sears organization.
 Moreover, the big mail-order and chain-store outfit does not intend to limit it's foreign invasion to Mex ico. The next move will be into Brazil. Potentially, this means that Sears may soon be dominant fac- tor in the retail field throughout Latin America. And, if their pro-

meat dealers who revealed large meat stocks purchased during the uncontrolled period but which still are held in Seattle because of lack of shipping north. With ceiling prices back in effect in Alaska that meat bought at high would bring only losses to local dealers were they to have it shipped north once vessels are running again-so it will be resold in Seattle and Juneau can 'eat something else
 At best it will take some time to replenish the present nationwide short supply of meat. And there very real danger that the longer the scarcity con- tinues the greater will be the encouragement of black market operatons-a development which would tend to prolong the meat famine far as the average butcher shop customer is concerned. Spokesmen for the meat industry say they hope more nearly adequate supply of meat will exist in possibly six weeks-thats the best anyone hope, and it is also hoped, in Alaska, that there will be shipping strike to bar meat deliveries then.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1946-09-27

The immediate impact of the restoration of OPA price ceilings on meat been forceful-and very noticeable Housewives who visit meat counters find them each day more like Old Mother Hubbards cupboard
 The explanation for the instant dearth of supply is rather simple During the interim period when no ceilings applied to meat sales either wholesale or retail a pent-up supply of livestock engulfed the market producers who had delayed shipments hoping for break in the price sent all of their animals to market a many instances represented the first really proflt- able opportunity dispose of livestock in long tme
 The result of course was market full of meat .t higher prices Presumably, had the price of meat remained uncontrolled the abundance of supply would have eased off after whileafter the first big wave of cattle receipts had been dsspated-but producers would have kept on feeding livestock secure In the belief that even the cost of feed climbed the market price for their animals would climb proportionately in an uncontrolled market
 What has happened is, when the Decontro Board decided to restore meat ceilings but not feed ana gram ceilings producers hastened to market with then stock in order to dispose of their holdings before the wholesale ceiling and later the retail ceiling, took effect
 Much of this unusually heavy volume of receipts, it is feared went underground" Persons in position to do so bought up much meat they could afford or could It open secret that the cold storage plants and individually owned deep freeze units Of the nation are pretty well filled to capacity with meat And little any of this volume of meat will reach the open market It was of course bought at prices higher than the present ceilings therefor it will be used only by the owners, who were able to protect themselves against the anticipated meat famine and the black market This incidentally raises the question of the fairness of meat price control to the average house. hoder-not the fairness of the principle but the fair ness of its practical application.
 Another facet of the problem was shown Alaskans by the published reports last Saturday from Juneau
The Daily Alaska empire., 1946-09-27

Telltale sign was the fact that Con- gressional defeat of OPA should have sent the market soaring, but didn't.
 3. Later the Commerce Depart ment issued a report that IS bil- lions in inventories had piled up on factory shelves, and that inven- tories were increasing at the rate of half a billion per month faster than goods are being consumed. This was a storm warning that the peak of the boom was passed
 A. The high employment rate C57 million in July is due partly to the fact that the Government is still spending Is billions year on armaments, amost three times the entire national budget in peace times.
 Note-on the other hand, the U. s. population increase plus the tre- mondcus buying power still in the hands of the public, plus the con- tinued scarcity of many consumers goods, should offset some o1 these downward factors. The country ac- cording to Washington economists is basically sound.

tory, the State Departments pro gram to sell the Russian people on American friendship has hit anoth- CT Snag. This time it is the Army.
 It took most of last spring and summer for the State Department to sell Congress on the importance of using propaganda to penetrate the iron curtain" Finally, however, Congressmen realized that the Rus sian people were being fed bar rage of anti-American poison and that something should be done to counteract it. So funds were voted to send U. s. radio propaganda abroad.
 Shortly after this, the French, under pressure from Communists inside their government, ordered the State Department to quit broad casting from it's powerful Algiers station. Of necessity, the State De- partment has now turned to Ger many.
 We have ample radio facilities in Germany and expect to retain them for a long time. But believe it or not the U. s. Army objects, Chief objector is conscientious Lieut.. Lucius Clay, top administra- tor of the military government in the U. s. zone General Clay, who has his problems, points out that propaganda broadcasts from the U. $. zone would be contrary to the Potsdam Agreement unless the Rus sians are given the privilege of ccnsoring American radio programs.
 The State Department counters with the reminder that the Rus Sians have violated all sorts of agreements in their zone and there is no reason why we should con- tinue to let Stalin get away with the claim, now taught by Moscow to the Russians and their satellite peoples, that the Red army alone defeated Japan.

John L. Lewis. the most powerful man in the American Federation of Labor, is now comparing himself to Napoleon.
 Lunching with a friend who con- plimented him on his tremendous labor victories, Lewis swelled with pride as the friend recalled how John L. had bludgeoned more out of the White House for his miners than any other labor leader, had helped master-mind the AFL sea- mems strike and had even been praised by Robert U. Wason, Presi- dent of the National Association of Manufacturers
