 Needless Expense
 There is an element in govern ment today, seeking not merely to continue the life of the OPA but to expand it's functions. Already our governments price-fi x n mechanic" have started making arbitrary adjustments in margins to be earned by wholesalers and distributing agencies, an activity not even thought-about for the OPA at the time it was created.
 It would be unfair to allege that this enormous bureaus entire war time activity was useless. Price controls have done some good, as arbitrary shields against abnormal dangers. They have also done some harm. A retail merchant, whom l have known since I was a boy, told me recently that he made more net gain selling under war time price ceilings than he had made during his previous 25 years in business.
 Controlling Prices
 Questioned for more detail, my retailer friend acknowledged to me that price controls placed on him by government during the war were much more lenient than price controls placed on him by competitors all his business life. And I am sure it is no more true in his case than it would be with such institutions as Ford, Chrys- Ter and General Motors. Competi- ton is the correct brake on prices.
 Regardless of what name it may wear: Price Control, Federal Aid to Education or Socialized Medi- cine, centralization of power is un- democratic. It is paying a power hungry ruler for doing something that would happen naturally if he would only step aside. It is someone climbing to power by learning what people want and devising a way to keep them from getting it, while making them tHink he is trying to get it for them.

Tomato Crop To Be Small

Despite the fact that almost a
million tomato plants have been set
out in three hundred acres, in the
Hancock area, the annual pack is
expected to be 20 per cent below
normal, according to representatives
of the j. F. Omps firm, one of the
larger commercial Gamers. The re-
duction is said to be due to a short
age of plants in this section neces-
stating importing of more than $780,
600 plants from Georgia. Rail and
freight embargos prohibit bringing
in more plants, and since orchards
suffered little damage from frost
this year. orchardists in the Hancock
section are not planting tomatoes
as they have in previous years. A
shortage of canned tomatoes in Ha-
gerstown stores has already been
remarked by local housewives.

powerful backing in Britain itself.
The negotiations are to take place
with groups as complex and as hard to

Textile Industry
Busy But Worried

CHARLOTTE, NJ C.-Trying to
catch up with an enormous backlog,
the cotton textile industry can see moth
ing but full speed ahead, despite loom
ing long-range worries
Although every one expects it to take
several years for the supply to approach
the demand, some operators figure the
ultimate future of the industry is un-
certain.
Admittedly the struggle between syn
thetics and cotton will become intensi-
fed. Constantly. new marvels in syn
thetics are reported from the scientific
laboratories.
But the cotton industry itself now is
spending big money on research and
there are leaders in the industry who
contend there can never be complete
y satisfactory substitute for cotton
fabric.
Today. however, there is probably no
large industry going at such a break
neck speed. The reasons for this, be-
yond the seemingly Unsuitable demand,
are several.
The cotton textile industry did an
enormous wartime job. All but frac-
ton OF the mills worked on Govern
ment orders, turning out everything
imaginable.
Cotton as well as rayon and other
textile mills were able to turn to war
production with comparatively small
changes. Yet there were some inter-
esting conversions.
For instance, concern making auto
mobile seat covers, began manufactur-
ing asbestos aprons for the chemical
warfare division. A hosiery mill makes
aircraft parts.
Throughout the war, there was need
for more textile workers. At several
times high Government agencies called
the situatian critical.
With the end of the war reconversion
came quickly in the industry. In some
instances 1t was accomplished almost
overnight. Generally. the industry
shifted to peacetime production more
quickly than any other.

the armed forces.)
These hospitals will include los gen.
eral medical and surgical institutions,
40 devoted to neuropsychiatric work
(mental and nervous disorders) and 20
for the care of patients suffering from
tuberculosis.
AS a temporary measure-to help
meet demands during the construction
period-the agency has taken over
number of surplus hospitals, is negoti-
ating for others and in addition will
seek to have veterans cared for in in
stitutions operated by the Army and
Navy. The Navy. it says, has agreed to
give veterans 9,875 beds. Negotiations
are under way to use 10000 Army hos
pital beds.
The II new hospitals will cost about
s2,500 900 each for small units, from
s5,oOo,o 900 to s6,0O0,0O0 for medium-s sized
units and slo,0oo,00o for the large, 1000

From the end of World War I until
last year the Veterans Administration
spent $27O,O00 900 in hospital construc-
ton.
In the next two years VA plans to
spend $448. 900 O00-or $178, 900 900 more
than it spent in the preceding 27 years
Gen. Omar N. Bradley, veterans ad-
ministrator, says it's the biggest job of
it's kind ever undertaken anywhere be-
fore. The Army Corps of Engineers, ac-
customed to doing big things in hurry,
will help speed the vast project.
The program. as outlined by Gen.
Bradley, calls for construction of n hos
pitfalls in addition to three now under
way. These n institutions will cost an
estimated $342, 400 900. Another S105,-
100000. will be spent on improvements
and enlargements to the 98 existing VA
institutions and to number of surplus
armed forces hospitals which VA is op-
Grating or plans to operate.

completed the agency will have 1873 per-

pointed to assist VA In designing the
institutions. Other architects may be
called in.
The job Of the Army Engineers will
be one Of field supervision and the
drafting Of specifications. The build
ings will be constructed by civilian firms
employing civilian labor.
The design of the hospitals, VA says,
will emphasize height instead Of
sprawling buildings which cover good
deal of ground" In cities the hospitals
will be of the skyscraper type. Such
design, VA says, will reduce land costs
and the number of persons required to
run the institutions
When possible, the hospitals will be
erected close to medical schools and
medical centers. VA says this is so doc
tors and other professional people "can
be brought into part-time association
with VAS program for giving veterans
a medical service second to none"
Funds for 47 of the new structures
are on hand. Appropriations for the
80 others are pending in Congress.

Saint Louis, Missouri

Saint Louis, December Is, (SpeciaD The eyes of the world
should be directed not TO Washington, London, Moscow for
the hope of real peace but to Bethlehem, DIR. Walter A. Maier
professor of ConcOrdia Seminary, declared here today in an
international Lutheran Hour broadcast. Maintaining that a
peace and new world order established contrary to the prn-
ciples of Christ will provide only for another period of arm
ament and armisiee, he asked Christians of America and
Candad TO join in fergent prayer that thedenial of the AL
mighty may not secure control of our international relations.
As a CONFERENCE.-THE to the advance of atheism throughout
the postwar world, DIR. Maier proposed this slogan, "Al the
Gospel for all men in all nations" as the statement of pro-
gram for all churches. As past periods of war gave rise to
important missionary movements, so, he maintained, Christ
ians throughout the world should Systematically work to re-
gain the serious losses inflicted by the war and to widen the
horizons of historical Christian faith. AS part of the Gospel
propaganda waged by the Lutheran Hour, he announced
that broadcasis in a new language, the Lutheran Hour in AT
rikaan in South Africa.
Predicting that this Christmas season will produce the Iarg
est holiday business America has ever known, DIR. Maier
warned against the imminent danger of crOwding Christ out
Of Christmas and asked that the preparation for the nativity
anniversary center in family observation and church celebra-
lion rather than in places of Chrislless professional entertain
ment. America should learn that the Christmas season, with
its emphasis o childhood and Motherhood, more than at
other times in the year, asks that the whole household dedi-
cate itself 10 the divine truth of the Christ-Childs incarn-
alton.
