HOW LONG?

This seems to be of pronounced economic cynicisrn With singular unanimy, almost everyone seems to believe that in for period of break neck boom followed inevitably and rather soon by frghtful depression Perhaps the element of caution that this philosophy entails is healthful factor, to q certain extent but there is danger, also, in too marked a tendency toward economic fatalism De- pressions tor periods of prosperity be state of mind.
 Food for thought, and mayhap a different con- cuson on this score, provided in the June Fortune Magazine Fortunes editors have carefully studied the tangled economic skein, the conglomeraton ot spending savings riches, shortages and confusion And against the glib assumption that overproducton and saturaton of markets will lead to debace of depression they cite the fabulous accumulation of needs and the new opportunities that will be created in satisfying those needs plus the yet untapped re- sources in many quarters of the nation.
 This survey looks beyond the field of electrical knick knacks household essentials conveniences and luxres and other lines of goods in which, quite ceivably production will outrace demand in matter of year or two Fortunes editors say it is generally conceded that the backed-up demand for housing will last for 10 years. And, in reexamining the outlook for the industry the conclusion is reached that satisfaction of a greater than-prewar demand for automoive transportation plus the stimulation of buy ing through the introduction of radically new car

Medical Debate
Cincinnati Enquirer)

The question which first, the hen or the egg, has it's counterpart in current medical discussions.
 At the annual meeting of the Massachusetts Med- Society the other day two qualified speakers talked the subject of high blood pressure the bane of some 15 900 900 Americans
 One said that high blood pressure inherited, and that while sufferers prone to worry because of it, worry did not produce the disorder. The other authority said that worry is a causative factor in high blood pressure and that when worries were re- moved the blood pressure dropped. He cited an operative technique which surgicay deprived patients of their disposition to worry and brought down blood pressure in consequence.
 A similar discussion has been taking place with reference to stomach ulcers. Does worry cause them or is an excess of gastric acidty the cuprit? Does worry ince the increased proportion of acid or does one worry because of the systematic upset?
 These controversies are by no means undesirable Medical science must maintain ver-questng mind If every medical assumption accepted the final and complete answer, progress in treating the ails of the human body would be slow indeed. Medi cine unfortunately, involves tremendous sphere of the unknown that it cannot be reduced to exact science. It progress only through examination and reexaminaton of it's steadily growing fund of knowledge.

the support of other members of the Committee. Among those set to help him were Senators Bridges of New Hampshire, Ball of Minne- .sota, Wherry of Nebraska and Tyd- ings of Maryland.
 When the Committee met, how ever, its agenda called for consider ation of the Interior Department Bill, not the Treasury Appropria- tion containing the silver price stipulation. Green immediately questioned Chairman McKellar of Tennessee about this change of agenda.
 "The Treasury Bill has been post poned at Senator McCarran's re- quest" McKellar explained.
 But Green was persistent.
 Tt is no secret to Senator Mc- Carran or to other members of this Committee he said, that I am to leave at once for Bermuda at the direction of the President of the Senate (McKellar) as a guest of the Empire Parliamentary Association"
 McCarran, however, was stub born. He insisted it was not proper to take up the Treasury Bill, be- cause it had not been listed on the meeting notice. He continued to sputter as Green replied that the reason notice had not been giver was that McCarran had himself told the Committee Clerk day ear lier to leave the Treasury Bill of the meeting notice.
 Finally the gentleman iron Rhode Island had his way and tht Committee took up the Treasur. Bill and the price of silver befor, he left for Bermuda.
 Note-The Wartime Silver Pur chase Act permitted silverwar manufacturers, jewellers, dentists photographic manufacturers ant others to buy silver from the Trea sury at 71.1l cents per ounce; bu it expired in January. Since then these industries have not been atl to buy silver in any quantity. Thh Treasury has no authority to sel to them, while Western silve miners have been holding thei metal for higher prices. Industria users claim they cannot operat profitably if they must pay tn higher price of $l29 per ounce.

 "The cable was code. It was se- cret. It was a British Foreign Off, flee instruction to UNO repre- sentative Sir Alexander Cadogan. But Washington Columnist Drew cMerry- y-Go-Round) Pearson, pur- veyor of inside information, last week published it in full.
 Lucrative leakages are Andrew Russell Pearson's lifeblood Son of college professor and by faith a Quaker, he wanted to be diplo- mat, but lacked the money. Now he makes his living scooping diplo- matic secrets. His sensational re- velation hit the mark enough to worry the diplomatic world. A dis tinguished, pleasant companion at dinner parties, ill print he knows no mercy.
 'Pearson's Snaring instinct first showed up at the tender age of ten. He trapped skunks in the Pennsylvania woods and sold the skins for five dollars.
 Studying subsequently, at Swath- more, co-educational Quaker col- lege, in Pennsylvania, he graduated just after World War I, and join ed a Friends relief organization to Serbia and Albania. The Serbs named village for him-Pearson- avatz-but Europeans have a way of doing that.
 He was still treading the narrow path on the Baltimore Sun in 1881 when he tied up with Christian Science Monitor Washington cor respondent, Robert Allen.
 Together they produced ther anonymous book, Washington Merry -Go-Round, in which they spilled some of the fruitiest poll tical scandals in the Capital-'gos sip the capital loves to whispe
 but hates to see in print
 'The book was a roaring success
 but Pearson and Allen lost thei
 newspaper jobs. On more payini

 Elderly women and children are fortunate under this configuration which should bring them renewed assurances of protection and SUD- ply.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 No intelligent business man in this country can believe that loans made by the United States to for eign nations will not ultimately be reflected favorably in his own af- fairs. Only as a member of a fam ily of nations can the U. S. hope for enduring prosperity and there can be no trade with bankrupt na- tions whose people are living in penury.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 A substantial cut in taxes is probable in 1947, the result of far more favorable Federal financial condition than was anticipated some months back. Unless the reduction in taxes is excessive, balanced budget is not only a possibility but a probability.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 The recurring chorus of War in 15-2O years" is supposed to be on the optimistic side. As matter of astronomical fact, there is nothing in the stars to indicate another war in our time.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of interesting avocational activities. Material profit is foreseen.
 Children born today will have quick, incisive minds and rugged bodies. They will have exceptional courage.
