IODINE NEEDED
FOR GOOD HEALTH

Montana is considered to be
in the goiter belt. Iodized salt
helps prevent such ailments as
goiter which can affect the
health of the entire body. Read
the salt package label to make
certain it is an iodized brand.
Through the use of iodized
salt goiter has practically dis
appeared in places where it
had been prevalent. Goiter has
a tendency to occur in Adde'S
cence and is six times more
common in girls than boys. To-
dine thus becomes especially
important in the proper growth
and development of children.
Adults as we'll as young
people, however, need the TO-
dine in iodized salt for proper
functioning of the thyroid
gland.
The health protection value
to be gained from iodized salt
makes it necessary that home
makers purchase its benefits
when buying their table salt.
Sea foods are the only other
important source of iodine for
people living in the area.

A Sound Proposal

Ihe first specific plan for repayment of
American aid to Europe that we have seen
mas been proposed by the House Select
Committee on Foreign Aid The group rec
ommends "a systematic review of world
resources" 1t suggests, as an example, a
deal in which the British government
might give the United States access to
Labrador iron ore and British oil in Vene
zuela, and the French government might
do the same with chrome and nickel de-
poslts in New Caledonia
Such an arrangement, of course, would
not even approximate a full payment for
American help. No one can expect pay
ment of that sort any more than in the
case of Lend-Lease-and the ERP is es-
Sentially peacetime Lend-Lease. At the
same time, as the House committee points
out, I'VE are pouring out our own resources
to aid these countries repayment
through stock-piling or participation is only
a fair return"
Obviously it would be short-sighted fool
lshness to ask that the countries re-
celving aid dip into mineral and other ply
slcal resources already meager in order
to repay us. Yet there may be new, abund-
ant or incompletely developed resources IN
colonial or British Commonwealth terri
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-11-29

tories which might be turned over to the
American government without increasing
the hardships of the countries seeking aid.
There is scant hope Of any dollar repay
ment under the Marshall Plan But the Ame
rican people can replace dollars, though the
task will not be easy. They cannot replace
natural resources that are given as part
of the European aid program.
Any suggestion that this country be COM
pensated for the loss of natural resources
will probably raise a cry of "Uncle Shy
lock' in some quarters. But it is safe to
assume that the criticism won't come from
responsible quarters. At least it shouldn't.
For just as it is freely admitted that the
American people are going to help Europe
because of enlightened self-interest, as well
as compassion, so it should also be ad-
mitted that Europes affection for us de-
| pends on our ability and willingness to
help.
| If the ERP cannot be put on business
basis, it can at least be put on realistic
one. We hear less talk today about Ameri-
ica's debt to England for standing alone
in the precarious year after Dunkirk. It
would be we'll if it never were heard again.
| The English did stand alone - for which
eternal praise to them-but they did it to
defend their country and its institutions,
their families and themselves. They didn't
| fight with their backs to the wall to pre-
serve continental America unscathed, even
though that was one fortunate result OF
| their brave stand.
| This country was lucky, but so were its
allies. Without full production, unhampered
by bombings, the strengthening blood
stream of Lend-Lease would not
have been lost. America contributed much
of her natural wealth to that bloodstream,
and she continues to do so today. Too great
depletion of that wealth can obviously de-
lay Europe's recovery.
American citizens and their government
can be humanitarians without being senti-
mentalists. It is to the free worlds ad-
vantage that we look to our own future
strength, even as we give of our present
strength to assist others.

| While these are sound principles III them
selves. there are those among American
|industrialists who are inclined to take a
rather pessimistic view of the far-reach-
ing effects of items No. one and four Fun
|damentally this group feels that U. S. aid
in building up Europe's production and
lending assistance in creating favorable
balance of trade with America are tanta-
mount to American industry subslolzlng
its own competition in the years to come.
Of course, giving Europe the where
withal to build up her production, with
the traditionally cheaper European labor
costs does furnish some grounds Tor such
pessimism. But American ingenuity - to-
day another term for intensified industrial
research is the American challenge to
such competition. All our industries, and
our government, too, are more research
minded than ever before in history and
the net result of this continuous seeking for
improvement is keeping the U. S. on the
very top of the industrial heap.
A good example of what foreign COM
petitors are up against, was recently por.
trayed in a press announcement of new
development in the textile industry. 1t was
disclosed how a large textile mill in col
laboration with a leading chemical COM
pany, after conducting test runs on several
hundred thousands of yards over period
of four years, had perfected a chemical
treatment which would make cotton goods
'wrinkleresistant" Can you picture a
modern housewife turning down three and
one-half yards of suiting material that
wouldn't wrinkle, to buy, a few cents
cheaper, similar quantity of European
made cloth that would?
Even if American industry stood stock
still from here on and suspended all re-
search and other self-improvement efforts,
foreign industry would need many years
to come up abreast OF course, American
industry is not going to stand still. At this
moment, new wonders are being Matched
in its laboratories.
American industry has much less to fear
from foreign competition than it does from
foreign economy that we will have te
support indefinitely to avert world chaos.

Sidelight On Profits

Testimony of leading industriaists be-
fore congressional price hearing sub COM
mittees has brought to light some inter-
esting disclosures. Charges of big profits
at the manufacturing level have generally
been refuted by individual illustrations. .
illustrations which may send some of the
Investigators back to Washington with the
thought in mind that perhaps the cause,
if not the panacea. for high prices might
be found on Capitol Hill.
One congressional group recently heard
some interesting "facts and figures testi-
mony by Gordon Narrower, treasurer of a
cotton mill in Wauregan, Conn. Mr.. Har-
rover, in discussing the principal product
of his firm, an Oxford shirting, pointed out,
that the price of this fabric has remained
unchanged from OPA days selling up to
the present time at 1923 cents yard OF
about $1.16 for the cloth in shirts that ulti-
mately retail for So so to 81.
What made the Investigators sit up and
take notice, however, was Mr. Harrower's
comment on the price of raw materials and
Operating costs. Tracing the rise in the
price of raw cotton from II. 06 cents pound
in July 1889 to38.75 cents in July of this
year, he assured the congressman that cot
of the grade his mill uses could be harvested
today at maximum all embracing cost OF
of 22.75 cents pound.
'The difference between this figure and
cost of today's cotton" Mr.. Narrower then
asserted, "is represented to a large ex-
tent by government parity which takes
no cognizance of chronological advances in
farming between the so-called base period
(1909-14) and the present time, as we'll as
stimulated shortage through Government
purchases for export, of All already short
crop of cotton"
At this point Mr.. Narrower interrupted
his prepared testimony to amplify his
statements concerning the cause for high
prices He held that government support
of raw cotton prices, on the basis of parity
as presently computed, had been effective
IN boosting cotton prices to an unreason-
able level prior to the 45-46 crop. Since
then, he said, the shortness of the crop
Itself and the unreasonable demand, in
Guiding the very large export quotas, had
been mainly responsible for the further
rise of price levels.
Returning to his prepared statement, Mr.
narrower in discussing the cost of labor,
SAID that wages have increased in his mill
from As cents an hour in 1899 to an aver
age wage of $1.05 today, an increase of 1873
per cent against cost of living increase
of 59.4 per cent.
Summing up, Mr.. Hrrower presented
figures for his own firm covering the peri
cd 1932-l947 which revealed net profits
during those years of 2.61 per cent and
dividends paid of $3S6,946, or / l-8 per
cent of sales

A Grim Picture

The United Nations Educational Scien-
tific and Cultural Organization, alpha
betically known as UNESCO has compiled
a report Of its investigations in war-sWept
countries. In its volume, "The ook Of
Needs" is revealed picture of grim ruins,
lack of equipment, overworked teachers
and underfed children. The heart that does
not throb over conditions disclosed by the
organization must be cold as iron in winter.
The report deals exclusively with the sit
nation as regards schools, churches, scien-
tific institutions and the pitiful plight of
children.
In Greece, for example, the organization
found that from $4,000 to 100000 children
are homeless wanderers. Seventy per cent
of Austria's school children are underfed,
schools are overcrowded and teachers in
short supply. Belgiuna's educational au-
thorities are faced with the task Of wiping
out the effects of "a deliberate plan for

Across the Pacific, Burma's libraries
and fully 80 per cent of the schools were
destroyed or looted during the war, and
in China the educational losses are esti-
mated at 7o0,00O000, American. "China, -
says the report, '.s drained of almost
everything but students"
We are told that provision for more than
1000 children is lacking in Slovakia alone
that scarcely one of the hundreds of
schools destroyed in France has been re-
built; that Italy has about a half-million
orphans to be cared for; that Holland has
some 10000 small children for whom nc
schools are available; that almost "whole.

While much time and thought are being
