cessive as has been anticipated. Rent
control will continue. with some ad-
iustments. Employment will stay high,
with some decrease at the turn OF the
year.
Grain prices, as soon as the present
car shortage ends, are quite likely to
decline under the law of supply and
demand Canada has been selling wheat
to England at price far below current
levels here. Crops in Europe, Japan and
probably India are better than were
anticipated.
The mysterious drop in the price OF
raw cotton Is sure to have an important
effect on textile prices. Good judges OF
the market see the prospect Of lower.
rather than higher textile prices In
the next six months.
In construction, there may be high
prices and great confusion for years to
come.
Thus, as price controls recede from
the stage, we are not likely to witness
the results predicted by the President
and the OPA economists. The predic-
tions by radical publications OF boom
and bust are the result of wishful think
ing. It is clear now that the left wing
of the Democratic party would welcome
anything to discredit the Truman ad-
ministration and to set the stage for
the nomination of more radical can
didate than Truman. But whatever we
may think of their political anticipa-
tions, their economic forecasts of boom
and bust are not likely to come. We
are more likely to have just spotty
economic weather IN the year ahead.

and friendship among all nations" Be-
cause the policy of this country is to
rely exclusively on the United Nations
for the solution Of all international
problems and is formally opposing zones
of influence so dear to the U. S. S. r.
and its apologists in this country, Mr.
Byrnes added that I'VE shall continue
to reject the idea Of exclusive alliances.
We shall refuse to gang up against any
state Moreover, Mr.. Byrnes warned
all those who wish to interpret correctly
his words that any nation which abides
by the principles set forth in the United
Nations Charter can count upon the
friendship and cooperation of the
United States, irrespective of national
differences or possible conflict Of in
terests."
After reiterating that the entire for
eign policy of this country is predicated
on the scrupulous enforcement of the
principles contained in the u. N. Charter
which must be defended with force, if
necessary" Mr.. Byrnes pointed out that
Europe's recovery-and the worlds for
that matter-is being throttled by the
idea of "the inevitability of another
conflict" This short sentence contained
the whole drama of the world Of today.
Fear of tomorrow unquestionably is
more responsible for the present chaotic
condition in the world than anything
else. The concentration of large forces
on the eastern side of the dividing line
between democratic and totalitarian
Europe, the occasional appearance of
guided missiles over strategic territories
in the west, the loud talk and saber
ratings of the leaders of the puppet
states, all add up to an increasing
fear of what may still come. AS a
result there is reluctance to recon-
Struct the war-rayaged territories and
settle down to peaceful endeavors. All
those who have returned from Europe
say that in spite of the reasSuring state
ments of the political leaders the man
in the street feels that he is living under
a temporary armistice and that another
clash, more devastating than the last
one, is inevitable.
X
Mr.. Byrnes did not admit this pos
sibility in so many words; neither did
he deny, however, that war may come
again. He placed the blame on Russia
and her satellites in the sentence war
is inevitable only If states fail to tolerate
and respect the rights of other states
to ways of life they cannot and do not
Share"
The speech, coming just before the
United Nations meeting in New York,
has served not only to give the Ameri-
can people a clear picture of this
country's foreign policy, but also as
a warning to Foreign Minister Molotov
and his henchmen what to expect from
this country when the peace treaties
and other matters come up for discus
sion and settlement.
Evening star., 1946-10-21

One of our most pertinent questions,
as we pass out from price control, is
the future course of labor. Will a wave
of strikes mark winter which promises
high prices and somewhat recessive
business? High prices traditionally set
off demands for higher wages. No doubt.
this possibility is what caused Mr.. Tru-
man and his Decontrol Board to hold
controls even after failure was ap-
parent.
There. are strong reasons, however,
why the big unions may hesitate to set
off wave of strikes. One Of these
reasons is the depleted financial strength
of unions after the strikes of last VIM
ter Moreover, the more difficult COM
petitive position Of many employers
will make for much sharper resistance
than was the case a year ago. Markets
are not as empty as they were then.
Customers are less willing to pay price
increases now that most of their more
dire needs have been satisfied.

Labor was directly encouraged by
Government, just year ago, to strike
for higher share of the returns Of
industry. The administration did some
indiscreet talking and later was COM
PEELED to eat large proportion of its
words. Government officials will be
much more cautious about such state
nlents, especially after this election is
over. The weight of the Truman ad-
ministration will be likely to be thrown
against encouraging strikes.

sliding Is one in which the price pic

Dubious Justice

handling of the case of Calvin e.
Dove by the Fairfax Circuit Court
lies in the transparent attempt to
put service in the United States
Navy on the same footing as Jail
sentence. Beyond this, there is the
dubious quality of a system of
justice which is content to impose,
as the only real penalty, $500 fine
(paid by a relative) on an offender
who, in the course of an admitted
assault, has killed another man.
This case had it's origin on May
II in a Virginia tavern. William F.
Williamson, Fort Belyoir employe,
went over to booth in which Dove
was sitting with some other men
to protest against the language they
were using in the presence of women.
Dove struck Williamson with his fist
and the latter died, according to
the medical evidence, from the ef-
fects of this blow on his head.
Dove, who is twenty years old,
first was indicted for murder.
Commemorative Attorney Hugh B.
Marsh, properly feeling that the
evidence would not support this in
dictment, reduced the charge to the
relatively minor one of assault and
battery, and Dove was permitted to
plead guilty to this offense. There
was no effort to obtain a conviction
for manslaughter.
Then there arose the question of
permitting Dove to enlist in the
Navy or the Naval Reserve as an
alternative to serving jail sentence.
The record in this respect is con-
fused, but the essential fact is clear.
Judge Paul Brown, after receiving
assurances from Dove that he had
enlisted in the Navy, that he was
on active service and that the naval
authorities were familiar with the
facts of the charge against him, i'm
posed a $500 fine and suspended
imposition of years jail sentence.
The prosecutor had recommended a
six-month sentence without sus-
pension.
Since the judge had previously
postponed the case to give Dove an
opportunity to enlist, the fair in
ference is that he regards an en-
listment in the Navy as a suitable
alternative to a term in jail. ~ This
is line of reasoning which is hard
to follow.
The public record does not dis
close any extenuating facts in Doves
case. The simple truth seems to
be that he killed a man in the
course of an unprovoked assault.
But if the Judge felt that there were
mitigating circumstances, then 1t
would seem that the proper course
would have been simply to refuse to
impose a Jail sentence on the basis
of those circumstances. Most Ger
tainly, leniency of this sort should
not be used as quid pro quo for
an enlistment in the Navy. For the
effect of this is bad, not only for
the Navy, but also for the respect
which the courts should command
in the public mind.
