DRY GOODS

NEW YORK, April 8-(P)-Mod-
crate quantities of print clothes and
sheeting were sold in the cotton
textile market Monday. Some duck
cloth was released to industrial
users under the new set-aside pro-
gram for the second quarter which
emphasized increased supplies for
that type of consumer. Many mills,
however, were proceeding cautious
ly because Of continued confusion
over the provisions of the new
government directives along with
the fact that raw cotton prices
have continued to advance sharply
since the recent increase in textile
ceilings.
There was a brisk demand for
wool goods with the limited allo-
cations made by mills for shipment
later in the year. The converting
trade was hoping for further easing
of price control restrictions.
The rayon goods market was
quiet.

107,475,0 600 Man. Days Lost

1t is impossible to estimate how
much nearer reconversion to peacetime
production would now be if American
labor had not been misled into so many
strikes during 1916, but the fact that
107, ATS, 900 man-days were lost from
this cause from January through No
vember and that the coal strike added
ali of a million more is clear evidence
that it could have been brought much
nearer completion.
The s%addening reflection is that,
despite any wage gains labor may have
been given, the workers involved in
the 4,335 strikes in the first eleven
months of the year suffered as a re-
suit of them along with all other per-
sons in the country.
The net result is that as a nation
we are far behind in our return to nor
NAL industrial and business activities,
with our economic condition still de-
teriorating; and that Congress is in the
mood to revise laws affecting labor,
with the chance that in so doing it
may take away some of labor's right
full gains, along with the abuses Lewis
ct al practiced with the consent, and
probably the co~nnivance, Of the Roose-
welt administration.

Heart Disease Control

Although heart disease remains the
first cause of death, the outlook for
its further control is promising. The
need is for better understanding of its
causes and the elimination of fear,
through wider public education.
This is the studied opinion of DR..
Donald B. Armstrong, Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company executive, who
adds: Recent studies reveal that not
only has the frequency Of the disease
among young people been sharply re-
duced, but also that the prospect of
heart disease patients appears to be bet
ter than ever before. The major re-
quirements are expansion of research
and wider education. Persons with
healthy hearts should know how to keep
them healthy and those with damaged
hearts how to live with their condi-
tion."
Doctor Armstrong notes that the
death rate in recent years has shown
a decided drop among white men up to
forty-five and white ome up to sixty
five. Also, he says that between the
two Great Wars there was a drop of
nearly one-half in the proportion of
young men found to have ~valvular heart
disease on Selective Service examina-
|tions.
Studies Of children attacked by
rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart
disease, who have been followed up for
ten years, the doctar declares, show that
well over 80 per cent are living at the enc
of that period. Furthermore, c~oronary
patients live on for many years, and a
large proportion of them are able to re.
turn to their accustomed work.
Encouraging as this is, persons with
heart trouble of any kind should keer
eternal guard against their enemy. As
a professor in a medical college tolc
his class years ago, the way to live E
long time is to know your "trouble" ane
pet it.

The Bilbo Case

The republican steering committee
which has been considering the case Of
The Man Bilbo has failed to reach a
definite course Of action but the con-
sensus is that the Senator from Missis-
sippi will be seated when Congress as
sembles IN Friday and that any effort
to unseat him will be delayed until the
session is we'll organized and the re-
publicans firmly in control.
It has been brought to light that a
senator can be ousted by a majority
vote Of his colleagues. Senator Millikin
of Colorado declares the right to serve
could be denied on these livery broad
grounds: "Action contrary to sound
public policy, harmful to the dignity and
honor of the Senate, Or dangerous to the
perpetuity Of free government"
This seems to set the gauge for &C.
ton by the Senate. If it can stand the
test, and Senator Millikin claims there
is precedent for it, there should be no
great difficulty in ~pinning Bilbo down.

The Dairen Incident

Dean Acheson, under secretary of

not reached a conclusion On the Dairen

provement on a State Department
spokesman's earlier declaration that no
ultlmatum had been issued by the Rus
SLAMS there.

ways but at the same time does not

statement does, nor bring into question

said he found the report of Commander
Yates "factually correct"
Naturally, Mr.. Acheson will want to
know why fully armed Russian soldiers
arrived at dockside simultaneously with
the ultimatum, and why the Russians
usurped the authority to order the
American ship to leave at all, in view
of the treaty signed by China and Rus
STA a year ago under which Dairen was
declared an open port.

Among 1917 Challenges

What will be the greatest challenge
of 1947? The answer must depend on
the individual viewpoint. But there can
be little dissent to the view that among
the greatest will be atomic energy con-
troll.
The United Nations has before it the
American plan, evolved by the commits
sion headed by Bernard Baruch. The
atomic bomb must be outlawed. Atomic
energy must be used exclusively for
peaceful purposes. To guarantee this
there must be united controls, with a
sufficient police authority to enter any
country and investigate atomic energy
uses therein without interference by
the home government. This, certainly,
is a reasonable and equitable proposal.
To put it into effect the member
nations of U. N. must first do away
with the veto, a step that the Soviet
Union is not willing to take. Unless
Moscow changes its position n tails
in line with the other nations on the
veto there can be no assurance that the
atomic bomb will not continue to
menace world peace.
Mr.. Baruch, therefore, has served
notice that the United States will not
share the secret of atomic bomb manu-
facture with any government until the
veto is wiped out. Thus atomic energy
control obviously ranks high among the
new years challenges.
According to the way it is met VII,
the world have it's chance to move To-
ward peace and progress or continue
to face a fear that will make peace
impossible.

Despite heaviest traffic volume
in history, only about half the
lines showed a profit.
By late fall the four-Way average

lines, again on average, sold at
only 25.4 percent of their years
high.

national carriers, sold at 49.1 per
cent and 20 percent respectively.
Increased operating costs, acct
dents, the TWA strike. and a rapid
many said a too-r;,oid-purctlase
of new equipment all contributed
to overall poor financial shoWings.
For instance. before VI Day
doroestic lines had fewer, than 200
planes in the air daily but they
were averaging between 95 and SO
per cent capacity passenger loads.
This year they employed more
than 500 planes, including more
than $50 four-engined craft, and
the load capacity dipped well be
low 80 percent even in the best fly
ing weather.
