Familiar Statements

Postwar American history is repeating itself the Janu ary Report of the Navy Industrial Association points out m it's leading article Popular revuson from everything con nected with strong today after the country other major conflicts the author of this article finds Ana the discovery brings him comfort So he makes some statements that familiar the situation he attacks They been spoken deaf by the Army and Navy in the between wars Press and pubc nave oscon cred their truth in time of conflict and repeated them m chorus. But the deafness seems to be returning
 Perhaps then it is we'll to read these familiar state ments in th light of present circumstances The Navy ln dustra Associations writer has stated them well. They are in part as follows: Foreign powers have long been intense students of American history They know that are an otspoken unregmented people, bascay not inter- esed in conquest imperialism. They know that all we want usually is to be left to ourselves that we can work on the problem of raising high living standards higher
 They know that the shooting stops Americans re- gard ended and that reaction takes place against all things miarisc They know that in years of peace do not for war because We do not want war we do not even like to think about They know that great number of Americans going to be against mill, tary training and consCrpon simply because they regard war and killing fundamentally wrong.
 They know that it is extremely to turn American public opinion against the military and naval systems a though Americans will always be sentimental about ndvid ua heroes They know that American people have sunk more American ships than any enemy In the of S6l 65 and in World Wars and H. the United did not get there first with the most We got there astwth the most.
 War and it perfectly obvious that cannot defend ths nation by getting there last with the most we have to be there first with the best The obvious flaw in all his of is the failure to give any consideration to the United Nations Organization But the omission does not necessarily imply absence of faith, proposal of an armed and suspicious isoationism.
 The thoughts quoted above those of special plead for the retention of a nucear naval ship building and aviation industry in peacetime Such n- dusry doomed share the unpopuarity of a things mlitaristic" in peacetime America Yet the unpopular profession and industries of military science still vital to safety.

capacity for war while simultaneously curbing the industrial capacity of this country and other poen- tial enemies.
 And the names of the same men who have been dckerine with Truman over steel-Ben Falress, Eugene Grace, ct al--have turned up in European files as part of the cartel which unwttingly played into the hands Of the Nazis. It is a story which the leaders of the steel industry would like to forget But the Justice Department hasn't forgotten 1t.
 American participation in the steel cartel was decided upon as late as i937--when there was no longer any doubt regarding Hitlers warlike inten- tons. By that time he had already invaded the Rhineland, showed his hand by sending arms to Franco, and boasted openly in speech after speech that Germany would dominate Europe.
 The steel cartel files seized in Luxembourg reveal that s. M Bash of Bethlehem Steel and A. c. Mundle of U. g. Steel took the initiative in binding their companies to the cartel Four months later an agreement to divide up world markets was reached.
 The steel barons were careful about the sherman Antitrust Act, however and the minutes of the June l037 meeting reveal that no written agreement regarding U. S. markets was concluded.
 Tn February, 1888, delegation of European steel men came to the United States
 our representatives" the Luxembourg files showed, obtained very clear declaration of re- sponsbility for the agreements from Messrs Eugene Grace of Bethlehem Steel Ben Hairless of U. s. Steel Rufus Wysor of Republic Steel Prank Purnell of Youngstown Sheet and Tube, M. Hackett of Jones and Laughlin Steel Charles Hook Of Armco Inter- national William Holloway of Wheeling Steel, Rob-
  National Steel Corporation (weirton and Great Lakes SteeD.
 Also included in the American group were In- land Steel, Newport Rolling Mills Pittsburgh Steel, Otis and the Allan Wood Company.
 What the steel barOns agreed to was not only division of markets but arrangements for price maintenance. Quotas were set regarding the total production of each participating company, with fines levied against the firm if 1t exceeded its quota
 However here is the pay-off. The Germans al- ways exceeded their quotas after which they polite ly paid their fines and then kept speeding their output of steel in the for war. Meanwhile. American and British firms stayed within their quotas and kept down their war machine.
 Tn contrast with the Germans American firms, when they exceeded their quotas. contrite and apologetic. For instance here is an item from the steel cartel minutes Of April ls 1899, which read:
 In regard to a recent shipment by the American group to Belgium. ie, home marke the American representative stated that he taking this mat ter up with his group in order to avoid recurrence

 There are intimations from Wash !ngton that out oi conferences be- tween the President and the Price Administrator ana the Director of Reconversion may come the iormu- lation Of "a new wage-price policy Such a forecast implies that there mas been an old wage-policy. but those who have been witnesses Of the drifting since V-J Day are compelled to question whether ;here has been anything so definite as Q policy. Some Of the principal spokesmen for the Administration, in fact. have done their best to persuade all who would listen that there could De a wage policy with out a price policy, but this was convincing only to such labor lead CTS as hastened to take advantage of the opening offered. If a com prehensive Wage-price policy is to be formulated now, it will come laCe, indeed; the Administration will find 1t difficult to get hearing for it in the midst of the tumult raised by strikes which block re- conversion.

at the sixty-fifth annual meeting of the Society reveals that more than 5000 animals, 5596 children and l949 families were reached and helped during the past year. Besides these activities much time was taken for the destruction of more than 25,O00 small animals. various inspections and education programs.
 Among the speakers at the an- nual meeting was Warren w Mc- Spadden. director of humane edu- cation of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animsls. He pointed out that em- phasis has shifted from the senti- mental approach as expressed in the admonition to Junior to be kind to animals. to the value of and need for training. Animals, ac- cording to MT. McSpadden, need training as well as persons and that training can be gained in the obed- fence classes now favored by the ASPCA. The youth of the nation, and in the long run the nation it. self. would benefit by a similar shift in attitude on the part of many parents and educators. We can learn from this more than the satisfying fact that the Connecti- cut Humane Society is deserving Of high commendation.

INSURANCE IN HARTFORD
Hartford Times)

Hartford Times)
 If all of Hartford's life insurance companies were rolled into a single organization the figures describing that organizations status would indeed be impressive.
 The five Hartford companies combined - Travellers. Aetna Life, Connecticut General, Connecticut Mutual and Phoenix Mutual-had an aggregate volume of Sl 362, ,765,- GOO in new business written and paid for in 1945
 Their total insurance in force at the end of the year amounted to more than Sl6,056, ,295 ,000
 Their aggregate total assets were more than S4,l46, ,2l9,000.
 These assets included aggregate holdings of United States govern ment bonds amounting to more than $l, 900 100000.
 These five companies have paid to policyholders, or beneficiaries oi policy holders, more than S7,0O0,- COG, 900 since the organization of the oldest company more than one hundred years ago.
 Insurance is more than merely big business. The portion of each premium paid which a company is obliged to put away in reserves to assure fulfillment of it's contracts at maturity. provides a great reser- voir of capital to assist in the eco- homie life and development of the nation. The billions Of insurance in force represent savings of the people which will be drawn down by policyholders in the form of encow- ments. annuitieS. or otherwise. to finance their living when they re- tire from active life or business, or to provide the means of livelihood for wives. children or others they have made their beneficiaries as they pass on. those others includ- ing schools, hospitals. libraries and other institutions which individuals have remembered in their wills as an old saying has it.
 The facts, even of cold figures, are worth knowing. To realize what they mean and stand for is an even more important and significant knowledge.
