AFTER THE BOOM ISOVER

Discussion in business and in
dustrial circles seems to take for
granted a bust" following the
BOOM" coming m " h g 2 e
around the end Of 1947. But it
is pointed out. the depression
will not be a bad one. A num-
Der of interesting reasons are
offered:
Buying power should not COL
lapse az it did in 1929, because
more people now get b ette T
wages. The higher wage rates
will hardly be beaten down by
either desperate competition or
chiselers, because workers are
highly unionized. There will be.
Of course. a rise in unemploy-
ment. But both distress and
buying power will be cushioned
by unemployment compensation.
The stock market should not
fall from the dizzy heights of
speculation. The Federal Re.
serve Boards 100 per cent mar.
gin requirement ought to keep it
in hand. Nor is there likely to
be a collapse of top-heavy in
stallment credit. Government
controls should hold it down for
some time. There will be little
danger of bank panics. Federal
Deposit insurance has removed
most of the fears which c q u 8 e
them.
These factors. which conserva.
tives now expect to brake the
rise and cushion the fall, were
once viewed as ultraliberal-even
Acknowledgment. Many of
them must be credited to the
New Deal.

- The inability of Great Northern to provide enough
boxcars to handle quickly this years grain CROP adoi
don to supplying sufficient iprnent for transport Of
lumber and many other Northwest products indeed is

For years Great Northern maintained, by intelligent

2. Sufficient materials had been obtained by
Great Northern to build several hundred new box

worn equipment.
Great Northern owns 24,632 boxcars. Yet, where
al boxcars not is the pertinent though dis
turbng point.
When this was written on August a. Great Northern
had the railway slightly than 60 per cent of
its total boxcar ownership, less than 49, 900 cars
Ofths number, only 5,64O were Great Northern
owned; the remaining 9,216 belonged to other lines
This means that while the railway is so urgently
needing at least 100 per cent of its boxcars in daily

fewer boxcars than it owns. Those boxcar facts

Why doesn't Great Northern have higher percent.

2. The working out of some ar
rangements by which such incid-
ents may be avoided in the future.
In this connection, American Of
%ficials have given some thought to
the possibility of using American
fighter planes to protect ularmed
transports whose route might bring
them close to the Yugoslav borders
with Austria and Italy. This posi-
bility was based on the position
taken by the government in its
ultimatum note-refusal to admit
that the two American aircraft fir
edupon actually were over Yugos-
Law territory.
Informants said that any use of
fighters would be carefully limited
to non-Yugoslav territory, against
the possibility that Yugoslavia's
fighter planes might stray over
the boundaries of their country and
into areas where they have no legal
right to be.
Authorities hesitated to evaluate
the diplomatic results of the plane
incidents pending full official re-
ports on the extent of settlement.
Some, however, suggested that
Yugoslavia's prompt reaction
would indicate a desire to avoid
complications of an extreme and
dangerous nature.

TRUCK SURVEY

Wilmington is not confined to the
streets and highways, however.
According to Major Boyd's other
statistics, culled from the records
OF IL Of the - oil terminal COM
panies, an average of Is, 024 rail-
road tank cars roll over the city's
railway tracks each year carrying
an average yearly total of 146, 373,-
1872 gallons Of petroleum products.
These statistics do not include the
average yearly figures of the oil
company which sends out more
products via the highways than the
other II companies.
Increase Expected
ALI these figures are expected to
be sWelled in the future by the es-
Enlistment of new and larger oil
terminals along the river and by
the deepening of the river itself
which will allow modern deep
draft tankers to come into port
fully-loaded.
OF the new terminals, the Socony-
Vacuum company has one in the
construction stage and the Sinclair
company has purchased water
front land for the construction of
another.
AS it stands now, Wilmington is
said to be the second largest oil
terminal port on the East Coast.
What the increase of oil traffic
will mean in terms of the need for
a new through truck route has
been pointed out by city officials
as "self-evident." AS soon as the
highway engineers complete their
local survey and submit a formal
report the city council is expected
to give the green light for estab-
lishment of a new truck route.

The estimated cost of converting

to be borne jointly by the highway
commission and the Federal gov
