inthians 10: 16. The cup of bless
ing which we bless, is it not the
communion of the blood of Christ?
The bread which we break, is it
not the communion of the body of
Christ? A Bible citation from
the lesson-sermon is: Galations 8:
26. For ye are all the children of
God by faith in Christ Jesus. A
correlative passage from the Text
book Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary

Science demonstrates that none
but the pure in hear can see God,
as the gospel teaches. In proper

and perfection is the order of ce-

Life in Christ, Life's spiritual ideal.

Intelligent Business
Does Not Want This
FOL 7

OPA is about to die. The sentence has not yer
been executed. But when OPA dies, uncontrolled
initiation will take over and then the American
standard of living will go down to level that will
make the depression years look prosperous by COM
parison. There is still time. very little time to
get the OPA death sentence Withdrawn. This is the
time for thought and action
Here are the facts: The House of Representatives
has passed sentence upon the American public :.
the American business man, worker, farmer and
consumer. We have been condemned to brief spasm
of soaring prices, to be followed by violent collapse
of employment and incomes. Alarmed by black
markets, the House has made black markets
legal. Concerned over strikes and rising wages the
House has made more strikes and higher wage de-
mands certain. Anxious to see the market Free the
House has set the market adrift in sea of inAa-
tionary waves.
Pressure Groups Invite Infection
The emotions that moved many Congressman to
kill the OPA are perhaps Understandable weari-
and revulsion against controls, irritation with
red tape, and unbearable pressure from pressure
groups. These emotions are partially shared by
part of the American public Otherwise a majority
of Representatives would not have joined in this
reckless carnival Of destruction. But they are un
reasoning emotions, not thought.
Do these pressure groups represent American
business? They do not. The practical, hard-headed
economists Of the largest and richest business organ
isation in America, the Committee for Economic
Development, have finished their studies on price
contro and imitation and their conclusions are to be
found in little book called ssJobs and Markets."

omists employed and supported by broad cross
section of American business) give recipe for
avoiding imitation and depression in these transition
days to peace. Remember, the Committee for Eco
nomic Development is an organization of business
men, including many of outstanding, respon-
sible, thoughtful business leaders. The CED econo-
mists know the factual problems that business faces
They share the desire of responsible American busi
ness to return to free markets.
Strong Price Control Or Ruin
But the CED economists emphasize that the over.
whelming danger before us today is imitation. It's
danger that spares man, woman child For
many months to come, they say, the only barrier
High production is essential . . and we are getting
it. But production alone is not enough. Production
high in other disastrous postwar inAatons High
taxes thrifty Federal expenditures restrictive mon
etary policy essential and Congress ought to
be wrestling with these problems right now Yet such
measures will take hold only gradually. Today, and
this Fall, and next Winter, there is no substitute
for effective price control. Only hard-hitting,
efficiently working OPA can do that job.
"Jobs and Markets" recognizes that price control
has no permanent place in the American economy.
The report offers plan to assure the orderly qui-
dation of price control in June, l947, by measures
that get at the heart Of nationary pressures These
practical business economists also recommend steps
to streamline and improve price control Some of
these steps have since been adopted by O PA These
are recommendations to improve price control,
not to bury it.
We are all in this together. Price control is not
an issue between Business and the Administration,
labor and business farmers and laborers producers
and consumers The only issue here between sheer
folly and common sense. Rescue the OPA!

foreign help may be needed.

similar action, as to delay and pickets,
by closely allied unions. On the "advice
of COUNSEL the provisions Of the Smith
Connally Act are to be observed.
In the meantime it is not unreason-
able to assume that settlement of
issues between the workers and manage
ment will be effected. AS the main
issue, however, is wages, it is obvious
that any settlement will be on the basis
OF higher pay which, we have repeated
~ observed and again repeat, is the
stralghtest road to initiation, which is
the surest route to deflation, which
invariably leads to years of economic
suffering.
Because this strike will be settled
on higher wage level and the steel
dispute probably will end without q
strike on the same basis and the Gen.
eral Motors strike will terminate with
the workers getting higher pay, and
all existing labor controversies heading
in the same direction, the American
people might as we'll prepare, as best
they can, for pyramiding costs of liv-
ing, with the OPA and other govern
ments agencies powerless to prevent
them.
Unless the reassembled Congress
does something to halt the present
trend, the United States will face a
financial and an economic disaster as
great as that of 1929.

Make It Eisenhower

Selection Of secretary general for
the United Nations Organization prom
ises to create a controversy and pos
Gibly end in a deadlock. The two candi-
dates now under consideration-Lester
Pearson, Canadian envoy to Washing
ton, and Stanoye Sinic, Yugoslav Am
bassador to the United States-indi-
vidually lack sufficient support to as
sure election, despite Russian support
for Simic. Anthony Eden's name is
mentioned, but Britain's own opposi-
ton is said to preclude his selection.
MIR. Eden is a conservative and
Britain has a labor administration in
which the conservatives have small part
and a weak following in Parliament.
Capable as he would be, there is little
chance for him.
The alternative is General Eisen-
hover, who rightly deserves the honor.
Strangely enough the proposal that he
be induced to resign his military post
as American Chief Of Staff and accent
the UNO leadership comes from British
sources while Secretary of State Byrnes
says General Eisenhower would not be
interested.
Probably the reason the British
want Eisenhower is because thew actu-
ally know him better than Americans
DO, as he did his greatest work in the
war from Allied headquarters in Eng
land. Americans know only at long
range that he possesses the fine attri-
butes of diplomacy, while the British
saw him in action, not only as military
genius but diplomat as well. It NAV he
That Mr.. Byrnes lacks full understand
ing of his rare qualifications for the
UNO leadership. Otherwise. it would
appear ne should be exerting his full
influence at the London session of the
United Nations Assembly now in prog
ress for Eisenhower.
Long before the question of q secre-
tary general of the organization was
directly raised, the Star proposed the
position be given to him as the fitting
reward for his service to the Allied
world during it's darkest and hardest
war period. Nothing has transpired
since to change the Stars position. We
endorse General Eisenhower for the
post and hope that President Truman
will exert himself for his selection.
