In Better Position
He said that although interna-
tional situations are touchy, we are
now in a better position for the
instigation of good, peace, and pros
perity, than We have ever been, and
that governments are closer to the
people and more responsive TO
them.
Mr.. Ridley also brought out that
more people know more about each
other than ever before, are closer
together, and that the business Of
government is now more than ever
the property of the masses. Despite
our good position, there are too
many evil forces loudly proclaim
ing they are good. He referred to
racism, greed, and states rights.
He said that the food gathered
for European relief should provide
a symbolism that would gain eX-
preston in many places, and like
bread cast upon the waters, should
help bring more love and Chris
tianity 10 the world. In closing,
Mr.. Ridley stated; When we learn

After World War I, output per
man-hour for workers IN industry
increased by ten per cent in two
or three years. That productivity
can be increased as much and as
speedily after this war has yet to
be proved.
Even if overall productivity can
be stepped-up 1t cannot be ex-
|pected that the increase will be
constant for all workers or for all
industries.
So far as the immediate future
is concerned, the prospect Is for
a general increase Of wages in the
highly mechanical, well organized
industries and a moderate In
crease in the prices OF the products
they turn out. .sslas.
In the industries where mass
machine production does not
dominate. the outlook is tor fairly
stabilized wages, with slight In
creases in hourly rates 4 POSSIBLE
ty. The price trend may hold fair
ly steady but the pressure will be
on the down side.
The truth is, Of course, that there
is no such thing as an average"
industry, an average" factory, or
an average" worker. Each in
dustry, factory and worker is to
some extent in competition with
others and according to their fit
ness they survive and prosper I'M
der the normal workings Of the
profit-and loss-system.
Competition
There have been, and there will
be, times when consumers will
weigh many considerations before
buying one product as against an
other, one brand as against an
other, and when management will
weigh carefully the skill Of one
worker against another. Price,
usefulness, and productivity will
be measured in all of those cases.
High wages and low prices are
a distinct probability for the long
term outlook. Both are necessary
contributors to an increase in the
real income which determines
standards of living. In some in
dustries and companies, perhaps,
beth higher wages and lower
prices can be achieved at once but
IN many sectors of economy they
are either not possible or not
probable Immediately.
The Conditions
Lower material costs, lower
taxes, and higher labor efficiency
may help sorae companies suffi-
GENTLY so that wage rates above
war levels can be absorbed but
this is unlikely to be generally
true. Nor should it be forgotten
that before very many months the
competition Of labor for jobs will

markets. Extremely high wages
are scarcely soon when the COM
petitive struggle dominates; low
prices are unacceptable from the
picture.

DUPONT IN SEARCH
OF RIVER MINERAL
New Contract Allows Pros
pecting In Most South
eastern N. E. Rivers

The Dupont Memoirs company,
Wilmington, Del, today has the
prospecting rights to virtually all
bodies Of water IN Southeastern
North Carolina as the huge ehsmi-
cal company continues its search
for containing sand tn
river bottoms.
A lease between the company
and the North Carolina Board Of
Conservation and Development has
existed for some time, but a
broadening of the contract was
effected in the latter part Of Jan
uary in Raleigh.
New Provisions
Under a lease first signed in 1912
and renewed year ago, the Du-
pont company has been prospect
ing for ilmenite in Albemarle
sound. The new contract broadens
the region in which these opera
tons will be permitted to cover
the sounds and rivers of the coast
al area as far south as the Cape
Fear river.
Dupont has agreed to pay the
state a royalty on all ilmenite
taken from these water bottoms
and an additional provision was
written into the contract whereby
the company also will pay a royal
| ty on all sand and gravel taken
from the water in connection with
the ilmenite mining and prospect
ing and used by the company.
The amount of royalty to be paid
the state for the sand gravel was
not specified, the contract merely
stating that this would be worked
out to the satisfaction of the De-
partment of Conservation and De-
velopment.
Ilmenite contains ii a nj u m,
which is used as a brace in paints,
and sometimes as a pigment.
Wartime restrictions on ma
terials, coupled with the fact that
tltanium was not regarded as es-
sential to the war effort, slowed
down Dupont's explorations of the
sound and river bottoms, the
board was informed when asked
last January to renew the COM
pany's lease for three years. The
new lease now has two years to
go.
The board heard a report from
Inc commerce and industry divi-
sion in which it was said that
many large companies, with de-
Capitalization in mind, are look
sites.
Already, 3S7 new plants have
oeen established or definitely pro-
posed in the last year. They will
employ approximately 1880 work
ers, pay about $46, 499, 500 in annual
wages and represent an invest
ment OF approximately $S4, 21O, 900.

Fat Sum In Bank Savings
Bankers Say Money Now
On Deposit Will Be Spent
For Home Building

General opinion here is that the
monies now on deposit may 60, in
a large measure, into new homes
and commercial buildings as soon
as materials and labor again per-
NIT building.
Figures show that with posi-
BILE 10 per cent drop in retail bust
ness over the past holiday season
there has been an increase Of 10
per cent in savings during 1945, In
comparison with 1914. This was
against a overall national picture
OF drop of IL per cent in total
wages and income for the same
period.
Above Average
The saving picture Of the nation
for two years suggests that work
ers increased their savings 10 per
cent from 1914 to 1915, which
gives Wilmington and area an
average of six per cent over the
average of the United States.
A survey of local banks reveals
Jan. l, 1916 savings deposits which
include 1926, 488.48 or an increase
Of 10 per cent, in the Morris Plan
bank; $2,895, 1899, or an increase of
10 per cent in the Peoples Savings
Bank and Trust company, and
81, 655, 522.75, or an increase of IA
per cent in the Wilmington Savings
and Trust company. The Security
National Bank indicated a definite
increase but had no local break
down of figures. The overall
picture of security nationals state
wide figures showed favorable
increase, officials pointed out.
Why
Why such a decided increase in
savings over the peak year of
1914? Was it a shift from saving
to spending? Or was it due to the
small flow of saleable articles to
the shelves of stores?
The figures themselves belle the
answer. The country, according
to economists, has just completed
the greatest buying hinge in his
tory yet, in the same instance,
wages and total incomes have de-
creased while savings increased.
One Answer
1t could be, one source explain
ed, due to halt in the purchase
OF war bonds and the putting of
those monies into banks as the
above total does not include bond
savings. But, whatever the an
sWer, the money is on deposit.
One Wilmington businessman
summed the situation in this man.
ner.
He pointed to the years of the
early '30's when workers lost
their homes, their cars and were
forced to remove their children
from colleges to cutback on liv-
ing expenses when they were
caught short. Those same people
nave made money during the past
war years and are now going to
nave those homes, those cars and
give educations to grandchildren,
he stressed.
Another View
Still! another merchant voiced
MS views in an entirely different
manner. Much of that money is
gong into home repair, he said.
During the war, many persons
owning property made the most
of the situation and.rented out al,
available space. This money they
saved. Their plans call for full
repairs in homes which have been
in the need of such for many
years, he explained.
A third businessman commend,
ed the foresight of the saving pub
lie saying, the influx of small
items will be taken up by the
wage-earner Of today from his
weekly salary. Those savings are
going for the larger articles
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-02-17

homes, cars and small businesses.
Bankers Idea
A banker expressed the belief
mat the money is going to be put
10 work when building materials
are available. Homes are going
to be constructed with a combina-
ton of savings and bank loans, but
they are not going to spend all OF
1t. Some is going to be held back
for a reserve fund-the American
public has learned its lesson
