battle which each group hopes will
result in its victory in the Noyem-
Der election.
At the opening luncheon meet
ing of the Women's National Demo-
cratic Club on New Hampshire ave-
nue., oratorically gifted Mrs. Olin
Johnson, wife Of Senator johnson
Of South Carolina, and brilliant,
dafk-eyed Mrs. Henry w. Grady,

that A stood fer "a'd to the unem-
ployed, the INDECENT and the blind
B, for banks which have been made
stable; c for construction, roads
hospitals, schools and also conser-
yation."
Passing quickly down the alpha
bet, the Senator's wife came to v
which she emphasized stood for vet
Grams.
"It is my belief, she declared
that the United States under the
Democratic administration has done
more for its veterans than any
nation in the world"
Championing Mr.. Truman's ad-
ministration and censoring his
critics, Mrs. johnson said, "the
President is not a magician who
could have reached into a hat ano
drawn out a rabbit of reconversion.
Here on a brief visit from hei
native San Francisco, Mrs. Grady
ever an active member of the club
while living in the capital, recalled
that it has been over a year since
President Truman assumed the

INVEST IN BONDS

Two years ago this month ours sons and brothers were fighting in the bloody hedgerows of Normandy, invading the Fortress Europe that Hitler boased was mpregnable In less than year they were in Berlin
 American practicality well as rugged courage won that war We outproduced and outsmarted Hitler at his own game of mechanical warfare. The War sonds you bought helped nightly to finance that ictory.
 Today at home, we must outsmart new enemy [price imitation The Savings Bonds you buy now help nightly Every dollar foolishly spent gives aid to the foe Every dollar put into Series Bond held to maturity will bring you four dollars for three when a dollar should be worth than it is now-and will be worth more if hold the line against nfation
 The way to defeat inflation-and the only way YOU can fight it-is to save all you when money is plentiful goods are scarce and prices mounting
 Imitation is not the only target of the Treasurys Savings Bond program it is merely the most important right now When the supply of goods begins to measure up to demand and that danger passes, we still have other practical aims with the countrys welfare in mind
 We want every possible American to have saVlngs against day of need against old age and for dignlfed retirement Through the payroll savings plan through the schools through the press and every channel or publicity we are working to keep up the habit Of buying war bonds regularly We want to keep the public debt spread among the people so they get more of the interest it.

Industry Profits"
(New York Times

(New York Times
 In answering criticisms of OPA, MT. Bowles ire quenty refers to the large wartime increase Tn profits
 He recently produced what he called "a typical sample of industry profits before taxes, in 1944 under price control compared with pre-war Q936-39) earnings; packers profits up 566 per cent; cotton textile mill profits up LILO pc rcent" In the current issue of the National City Bank Bulletin these profits data are examined It is pointed out that the large per centage increases reflect primarily the fact that com parison is made with a depressed base period, when many companies in the respective industries were operated as deficits barely breaking even" More over these figures profits but to earnings available for taxes and profits Since taxes in 1944 were considerably greater than in the prewar period the profits retained by industry showed considerably smaller rise than suggested in the figures cited by MT Bowles
 The use of such figures fails to show what has actually happened in industry. In it's study the bank points out that in 1944 and 1945 net income after taxes for leading companies averaged only nine tenths of one cent per dollar of sales The highest retained profit during the past thirteen years 16 cents Der dollar of sales while the average was 105 cents per dollar survey of the return on net worth for twenty large meat packing companies shows that the average in the years l93639 was 31 per cent It increased to 88 per cent 1941 and has declined in each year since then; in 945 it 54 per cent This latest figure is substantially above the prewar but only moderately greater than the 49 per cent return 1899 and just about the same as the 55 per cent return in 1886. An examination of the pre-war shows that the average return was feuuceO 10 Sl per cent because of the deficit recorded in 1888 The average for the other three years of the base period was A per cent
 similar picture is shown for leading cotton textile mills During the depressed base period the return net worth 29 per cent In 1945 the return - per cent However the average net profit margin in 1945 was 33 cents per dollar of sales While there has been a considerable improvement in the cotton textile industry as compared with the depressed pre-war period the extent of that improvement is substantially smaller than suggested by MT. Bowes figures of an 1lO per cent increase before taxes.
 Profits data do not tell the entire story Through out all industry output considerably during the war and this development naturally reflected in larger profits This wartime volume has been reversed in many industries Current profits undoubtedly fleet this development as well as the interruptions to production due to strikes reconverson difficulties and related problems

FDR's WARNING IGNORED

Today one year after the end of the war with Germany, few people realize how Grastically FDR's pol icy has been scuttled. Part of this is due to lack of Russian cooper ation; part to the zeal of U. s. commanders to make their zone of Germany function; perhaps part is the result of a deliberate plan, inspired by certain army men and certain U s. cartels once operat- ing in Germany.
 Two of the most dangerous de- velopments are:
 l. Greater and greater use of former Nazis in governing Ger many, they now have the job of distributing clothes, running the railroads, teaching schools, even the de-Nazification program; SC that former .Nazis now have com plete responsibility for settling the claims of Jews and ANazis whose property was seized by Hit Ter.
 9 U. s. authorities plan to re- vitalize and strengthen the Ger man currency.
 So far, this is a closely guarded secret. However, U. s. occupation authorities propose to replace Gerr- man marks at the rate of ten ole to one new, which would do mucf to make Germany economically stronger.
 Those few who know of this plar feel that it is in direct contradic. tion to Rooseveits warning agains doing flor Germany what thi government did for it's own citizen! in 1883 when they were flat or their backs"
