and handling Of denatured explo-
sives. Investigators will want to
know whether the nitrate had been
completely decontaminated at the
plant, whether 1t could have become
mixed with some dangerous sub
stance after 1t left the plant and
whether proper safety measures
against fire and other hazards are
being taken in the handling and
shipment OF such products. Until
these questions are answered, un-
certainty and fear are bound to
hamper our efforts to put our war
time munitions plants to peaceful
uses.

Give Them q Chunce

From the London toutario) Ere. pr.,,.

From the London tontario) Free Press
The joint Parliamentary commits
sion investigating Indian affairs in
Canada has already decided that an
Eskimo is an Indian, as far as they are
concerned. Perhaps they might 60 fur
ther and discover that both Indians and
Eskimos are human beings with mucl,
the same capabilities as the rest Of us,
and that the country would be better
off If they were given an opportunity
to develop them.

How Much LONGER?


little or nothing to prevent the
Moscow Conference from moving
toward close in an atmosphere OF
dreary deadlock. When the confer
ence opened over a month ago, no
informed person expected that it
would produce more than an Aus
trian settlement and some prelim-
mary understandings on treaty for
Germany. But now even this mini
mum and not-too-hopeful expecta-
ton seems to have been bit on the
optimistic side. At any rate, pact
for Austria is momentarily stymied,
and there is no evidence whatever Of
a real meeting of minds on any i'm
portant aspect of the German
problem.
More precisely, there is no evi-
dence of Russian desire to agree.
France, Britain and the United
States have come to see eye to eye
on most basic issues, but the Soviet
Union - through Foreign Minister
Molotov-ha5 played its customary
holdout game in way that seems
to leave the question of Germany
pretty much where it was when the
Moscow Conference convened. There
may yet be chance, before ad-
journment, to work out a treaty for
Austria, but the outlook Is dim for
an agreement on even part of the
groundwork for a German settle
ment. Mr.. Molotov's views on repara-
tions from current production and on
our American proposal for a forty
year, four power, anti-German pact
to mention but two facets of the
problem - encourage nothing but
pessimism. Unless these views are
suddenly changed, Secretary Mar
shall and his French and British
colleagues will come home from Mos
cow only to report that precious
little progress has been made toward
establishing real peace in Europe.
Certainly, until the Big Four can
agree on essentials regarding Ger
many, the European situation will
remain explosively abnormal in both
a political and economic sense. The
question is how much longer can it
remain that way? How much longer
can the Soviet Union continue to
hold out against France, Britain and
the United States without wrecking
the continents chances to recover
or without creating a permanent
split creating two antagonistic
worlds? 1t is almost two years now
since We day. An agreement on
Germany cannot be suspended in
definitely. Sooner or later, the Rus
slams must concur In one, or France,
Britain and the United States will
have to join in some exclusive under
standing of their own. u
Until the Moscow Conference
comes to an end, of course, judg-
ment must be reserved. The signs,
however, are anything but encourag-
ing. 1t is bitter thing that the
most the meeting seems to have
achieved to date is to clarity and
emphasize the cleavage between
Russia and the western powers. If
this cleavage cannot be overcome by
agreement among all. then those
who can agree-France, Britain and
the United States-will be impelled
to do what they can among them
selves. AS long as everything is
allowed to hang fire in Germany,
there can be no peace in Europe.

An Act of Justice
New York Times


 Tn its efforts to rectfy at least of the wrongs committed by the Naz regime the American Military Government in Germany has now promulgated law providing for the greatst possible restitution of their property all those who after Hitlers accession to power were unawully deprived of it for reasons ot race religion nationality, deoogy political oppo- sifion Under this law beginning will be made to return c the innumerable victims of Nazsm or their heirs whatever property can still be identified as hay ing belonged them. The scope of this project IS illustrated by the fact that property subject to rest- tuticn in the American zone alone IS estimated at $l 600 100000 at the pre-war rate of exchange
 The new law is an act of elementary justice ln keeping with the democratic principle that no one shall be deprived of life, liberty property without due process of law. This principle proclaimed Tn one of the first decrees of the Allied Control Council as valid for Germany But the Control Council dead locked every other issue, remains deadocKea OH this as well with the result that the American Military Government has been compelled to act alone It has likewise compelled to act over the heads of the German state governments because these gov ernments while agreeing with the law in principle found preteXts for opposing 1t n detail since It S highly unpopular with these who profited unuer the Nazi system But that start has been made IL IS to be hoped that the other Military Governments will oct ,ev.se and that they will establish strict super vision over the German courts charged with passing on restitution claims.
 The new law takes it's place beside the Allied deces fer the recovery of Naz loot taken from other countries and thereby establishes precedent which reaches beyond the victims of Nazism For JaXeh together these decrees hold that any loot IS HiegaI and recoverable whether taken in an international war or in domestic revolution, when it IS seized by victorious government or party presumlng to legaize it's seizures by passing laws and decrees 10 cover them. as Hitler did. This holds warning to the revolutionary governments now essayng similar nractices in Eastern Europe Some day they may be called to account for actions which too often resemble the Nazi practices which they denounce,

PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION

Does brand advertising pay? Does it actually defrav it's own expense by enabling a manufacturer or dealer to sell more of product than ne would otherwise2 There's been considerable argument on hcse scores but Tide magazine reports praetlcal demonstration which we think settles the matter.
 Harold M Brightman President of Lit Brothers in Philadelphia placed on sale two stacks of Sim mons mattresses One pile bore the advertised lapel The Simmons label had been removed from the mat tresses in the other pile and replaced with label calling them "Dreamland' mattresses.
 These mattresses, remember, were identical ln construction The clerk in charge instructed to tell shoppers that both were good mattresses and to give no sales talk Of either.
 In the first experiment, which continued for one week the Simmons mattresses with the Simmons label outsold the Simmons mattresses with the Dream land" label by ratio of l5 to one!
 The next week Lit Brothers offered the Dream land mattresses fer sale at s less than the ones bearing the Simmons label The latter still outsold the other al a rate of five to one. Then the store

 pr. Harris believes that it should be made clear that only five per cent of Alaska's total sale goes to the National organization for aid in it's enterprises, the rest remaining in Alaska. Also pr Harris wishes it repeated that wherever @ sponsoring group, sucf as the Kiwanis, forms a welfare committee, that group may retaln 20 percent of the local receipts oi any of towns needs connected with tuberculosis. Miss Elizabeth Mosher, Child Welfare Consultant with the Office of Public Welfare states that there is dire need for these local funds For instance she says that of late their work CTS have had to tell mothers found afflicted with tuberculosis that they are without funds tC pav for foster homes for then children until the mother regains her health.
