Neither the lad nor his mother
dreamed of being co-operators with
Jesus, any more than do we as we
pursue our routine of life We may
not forget that boy and his mother
as we read of the great miracle.
Too well known Is the story OF
the feeding of the 5000 to need
retelling. In orderly array, Jesus
lhad the multitude seated, as for q
formal meal, and then He Said grace,
as every Christian company should
do before every meal. Then He took
the small boys lunch and broke it
up into inexhaustible portions, which
the apostles distributed. We do not
know at what instant the little loaves
were multiplied, nor how. But we do
know that after the hunger Of all
had been satisfied, there remained
IL hampers Of surplus, which Jesus
bade His disciples to gather up
a lesson in thrift badly needed today.
OF course, the crowd was over
whelmed; every person present would
tell the tale to his dying day. AS an
immediate result, they tried to make
Christ king. But He disappeared
from their presence; His Kingship
was to be established In another way.
Today recognition Of Christ's
throne rights would solve all the
problems of the United Nations.

The Army In Right Places

There are several reasons why the Army
should be left in command in the American
occupation zones Among the chief reasons
for them is that the Russians are occupying
neighbor zones with military forces.
It is not difficult to imagine what would
happen in the portion of western Germany
or in Japan, if diplomats, however able in
their callings were to supercede Generals
Clay and Macarthur.
Both of these commanders are having their
troubles with the Russians as it is. IT the
State Department should send staffs into
either area choas inevitably would follow
and the influence of the United States be
lost completely.
We find it difficult to understand why
Secretary of State Marshall, military man
with clear military vision, should have held
the opinion that the Army should be with
drawn in favor of the diplomats, and can only
be grateful that his proposal has been re-
jected, even on the flimsy excuse that the
State Department cannot find capable
personnel.

WASHINGTON - President
Truman's press conference pro-
vided a double impression. On
the part of the public, the sub
ject of greatest current interest
apparently is the drive for food
saving, it was about this that
most of the newsmen's ques-
tions were asked.
Correspondingly definite was
an impression Mr.. Truman Gre
ated, it included the philosophy
of government he entertains.
Food saving is an urgent con-
Germ with him-but likewise ur-
gent is his wish that it be done
by voluntary methods. This is a
free enterprise country and vol
untary food saving is the free
enterprise way. Time and again
Mr.. Truman mentioned, and ex-
panded upon n d disapproved,
the thing he wants to avoid if
possible, the methods of the po-
lice state. Anything which is re-
quired by the state, and for
failure in which the state i'm
poses penalties-any such thing,
Mr.. Truman said, is the police
state in action.

De Gaulle Gains In Stature

While it has not always been possible to
gree with the policies and activities of
General Charles de Gaulle he has exhibited
such undenable qualities of leadership
that it is impossible to appraise him as less
than the needed "strong man" in political
France.
He definitely demonstrated capacity to
turn enough Frenchmen away from the in
sidious influence of the Russians to force
the communists into second place in the
municipal elections of last Sunday, and so
align a majority with the Western demo-
cracies. It is upon him, therefore, that re-
sponsibility for holding France in the de-
mocratic orbit rests
This initial victory at the polls, however,
is but the beginning of gigantic task To
make it count in the long run he must SWING
the MRP, the Socialists and the other anti
communist groups in the government and the
population at large further away from the
communists and draw them into a unified

House Cleaning Needed

Victor Riesel the well-known labor
columnist, recently had an article in Look
estitled, Labor Still Hasn't Cleaned House"
He then made several specific charges in
cluding There is a cold and brutal dictator
ship in many unions Many unions are
closed baronies that refuse to admit new
members, charge ludicrously high initiation
fees and ban applicants for racial and reli-
gious reasons. Skilled communists, now
using key labor unions for political pur-
poses, have not been ousted by national
labor leaders,"
Such charges have been made before. But
they are especially impressive when made by
Mr.. Riesel, as he is completely sympathetic to
the legitimate organized lagor movement and
writes about nothing but labor matters. It is
evident that labor's best friends are now
dismayed by the policies and points of view
of some of the enormously powerful leaders.
These leaders have lost almost all touch with
actual labor-the people who do the work OF
the country. They are busy creating dynasties
for themselves and the inner circles which
surround their courts And as the growing
concern over communists in labors ranks
shows, some of them are moved by
theological beliefs which are at the opposite
pole from the American tradition.
What this all adds up to, as Mr.. Riesel also
observes, is that the unions must clean house
or the public will clean it for them. The
labor leaders who are now spending much
of their time indiscriminately denouneing
the Taft-Hartley law should realize that this
measure is innocuous in the extreme COM
pared with what will come if labor excesses

Governors And Education

These conferences of southern governors
are always fruitful. The present session
~ Asreville where the chief executives OF
thirteen southern states are gathered pro-
,,,;eos &c fine results as any of its predeces-
sorS.
Anoone their first actions for example,
is tn throw their influence behind oroao
regional system of higher education loi
both whites and Negroes. A special COM
mittee is to be named to foster establishment
~ snecia1ized schools for members OF both
races. Another committee is to vlslt NeiiaiiS y
Medical college in Nashville, which IS giving
the South many Negro physicians, with 'he
thought that this school could well proVloe
working plan for Negro schools in law, den-
tistry and other professions.
While the governors are drafting their
educational program it is to be expected tney
will also look into the South's need for more
schools in which white students may re-
ceive the best facilities for technical study,
especially the superintendence and operation
OF industrial plants.
Industry in the South is moving ahead at
faster and sounder pace than ever before.
1t is to be hoped that in its further expansion
the men at the top will be southerners.
Not so long ago young men from the South
for the most part went to other regions Tor
technical training and because the South was
not industrially prosperous found employ
ment away from home. Then as factories
increased in the South the operating com"
panies with rare exceptions employed men
for the more responsible positions from the
North and the East, capable enough but re-
quiring some years to be socially, economical
ly, politically acclimated.
The governors indeed cannot do greater
service for their states and the entire region

Defeats Itself

DR.. Paul H. Nystrom who is both Pro-
fessor of Marketing at Columbia University
and Chairman of the Limited Price Variety
Stores Association, recently presented an ex-
haustive statement on retail prices to Con-
gressional Joint Committee. In one section
costs of wages and salaries in the retail field
Since 1899, average hourly wage rates have
more than doubled. In the variety stores,
which are fairly typical of retail business
in general, wages amount to more than half
of the total cost of operation. Every wage
increase of 10 per cent increases the total
expense rate by more than 5 per cent. AS DR..
Nystrom says, "There is nc way in which
the trade as a whole can meet such increases
except by increases in the gross margin that
make up part of the prices that the con-
suming public must pay
That is how wage rates affect retailing
Their influence on the costs of manufacture
ing should also be thoroughly realized by
this time. The old theory that we could have
everincreasing wages and static prices has
been exploded. Every major wage increase,
of necessity, has sent prices another notch
higher.
Worst of all, the productivity of labor - in
both manufacturing and retailing has
been generally lower than before the war,
despite the record wages and the demand
for still more increases. That is where labor
defeats itself
