THE BALKY SWISS

Insiders say that Switzerland, the little nation which posed as the be- rign and friendly neutral, is now displaying the same tactics as the Capone gang in hanging on to Nazi loot.
 The secret negotiations now go- ing on in Washington to recover Nazi geld from Switzerland have been carefully guarded, but it has leaked out that Switzerland's policy is to keep all the gold which the Germans stole from France, Dem mark, Belgium and other occupied countries and sent to Switzerland for safe-keeping.
 Like the Capone gang, the Swiss won't return this footed gold to France, Denmark, Belgium and other countries from which it was stolen.
 The showdown came to a head the other day over two points:
 First, the Allied delegations told the Swiss they must give the AL lies all the Nazi gold t$l30,000, ,o00) ; and second, the Swiss must hand over one-third of the Nazi stocks and bonds deposited there during the war. s

PROFITS AND TAXES

The other day we pointed out that f as some Congressen recently suggested, Alaskas salmon in- dustry was taxed slo0oOOOO year by the Territory the industry wouldn't have any profit The Congress men speaking were, of course not correctly informed about the Alaska operation, because they apparently had been told by someone their Alaska trip that the industry made s6ooOooOO year in Alaska
 Congressman Samuel B. Pettingil of Indiana in recent statement says that the worst fault of our business system is that it is not understood.
 recent poll shows that the man on the street believes the average profit of automobile manu- featuring companies is 24 per cent which he thinks is too much When asked what he thought fair profit would be- he stated that it should be 12 per cent The fact is that automobile profits run from 4 to 8 per cent The man the street wants the con- panes to make more than they getting but because he doesn't know what the profits are he curses the capitalist strikes for more wages and believes that the profits are exorbtant.
 similar poll taken by railway magazine showed that the average believed the railroads made from 25 to 75 per cent during 1914 boom year, when actual figures of the Interstate Commerce Commission showed that profits of all railroads combined for that year was a fraction than per cent But 90 per cent of the railroad workers believed the companies should be making profit.
 What be done to wipe out these incorrect beliefs? In the of the canned salmon industry, good educational campaign might help along with more truthfulness by Alaskan officials.

conciliator who had a fine record in rubber-industry disputes, was that Schwellenbach failed to ad- wise him on his replacement by McGrady.
 In fact, he first learned the news from McGrady, which so infuriated him that he threatened to resign.
 T don't think you should hold anything against Ed McGrady," :" declared Schwellenbach, trying to calm Fuller down.
 My argument isn't with Mo Grady and you know it, MT. Secre- tary," snapped Fuller. 'McGrady is a good man. My argument is with you. I think the least you could have done was to have informed me of your plans. I think l de- served that much courtesy"
 Schwellenbach tried to explain that he wasn't busting Fuller, but wanted him to continue functioning as an associate of McGrady. How ever, this didn't placate Fuller. Still resentful, he indicated to Schwel- lenbach that his only recourse was to resign,
 Later, however, Schwellenbach apologized for his actions and be- sought Fuller to work along with McGrady.

Suggestion for Congress
Cincinnati Enquirer


 Members of Congress have been ceaselessly busy for months without end. The intricate work of leg saton has been pressing them from every side. This true before the began. In the last two decades members of Congress have spent the most of their time n Washington away from close contact with their constituents. We feel that such condi- ton isn't entirely good, although there are those among the voters who feel that Congressmen and Senators shouldn't spend much time outside their offices and halls Capitol Hill
 While Washington often is called the pulse of the world isn't always the best place to learn the real temper of the people. Pressure groups cenerng their activities along the Potomac likely to give to legislative leaders lopsded views of national likes and dslikes. The rank and file-Mr. and Mrs. John e. Public-have little opportunity to make their opinions known above the shrll, strident voices of Legislative representatives, of of minority groups.
 To get "feel' of the grass roots members of Congress so often should go home. They should mngle with the people the back streets and along rural lanes and byways They should do little fish ing bit of visiting They should spend considerable time sitting atop cracker barrel at the crossroads store. There they'll learn what the people-the real people of America-are thinking They'll get picture unbemshed by the multiplicity of forces which sweep Washington in these days of government by group.

Stucki, head of the Swiss Delega- tion said: "No!"
 We do not recognize any obli- gation to return the gold" he said. He added, however, that Switzer- land was willing to give $25,0o0,00o to help rehabilitate Europe.
 That IS an insuitw remarked French Delegate Paul Chargueraud, adding that more than $130,000,000 of Allied gold could be proven to have gone to Switzerland.
 At that point, Stucki, in huff, walked out.
 That same morning, Randolph Paul, top U. s. negotiator, sent a letter to Dr. Stucki saying that un- less the Allies heard to the con- trary promptly, they would have to report to their governments the collapse of the negotiations. Stucki hastily replied that he had merely walked out in order to get new in structions from Switzerland. Despite all this, some Treasury officials urge lenient policy to- ward the Swiss. It happens that they have. $500. 100000 of assets now frozen in this country includ- ing s500,0000oo in gold and the French are preparing to clap lien on these assets.

TUESDAY. MAY IA
HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 Parents are under friendly stars, especially those no longer young whose children have gone out to make their own place in the world. Happy memories and a deep sense of gratitude will leave no place for loneliness in their hearts.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 There are indications that many women who tasted the joys of in dependence during the war will launch small business enterprises of their avn during the next year CT two. In all probability, they will recognize no field of activity as exclusively the males, but will consider only those factors which concern profit and success.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Excessive drinking by all ages and the inevitable linking of alcoholic indulgence with the growing crime wave soon will lead to great un- easiness on the part of producers ot intoxicating liquors. The forces which once imposed national pro- on the country are organ ized and prepared to sTiEa again.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 New difficulties are foreseen for the occupying forces of Germany.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars A year of interesting and happy develop ments in the home.
 Children born today will be real ists, appreciative of thei opportun- ities, aware of their limitations. They will be intelligent, generous and honest.
