spects.
After his fiat demand for a house
cleaning, the general flew to Tokyo
and then to Korea for a week-long
study of that problem spot. In his ears
rang the charges of Chinese COM

a deal with Nationalist China for

the price of further American help.
These claims were denied.
Informed sources said that the
Wedemeyer mission would go to a

up its report to the President.

Income, Outgo

In 1910 the per capita income of
Americans was S575 a year. Now the
Department of Commerce reports that
it climbed to $1,000 in 1916. The figure
may be even higher now.
On paper this looks impressive, but
in wondering where all those added
dollars have gone, housewives and
economists know that the pre-War
dollar would buy a whole lot more
than today's. According to the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, an income of
$4,000 now purchases goods and SER
vices worth only about $1,000 in pre-
war times.
Nevertheless, for sheer size the ma
tional take-home makes stimulating
reading. For instance: Last year the
total income paid to individuals in
the United Sttaes amounted to $780,
600, 600, 900, about nine per cent more
than the $155, 600, 900 900 total for
1915. Qn that year, the Treasury De-
partment has announced, film star
Betty Cradle received the highest
salary of any woman in the country
-9AUO ,UUU.J
A big rise in farm income last year
gave agricultural states, such as
Iowa, Minnesota, North Carolina, the
greatest gain. Where war industries
had been prominent a smaller in
crease was reflected in the years since
victory.
"Most strikingly revealed" said the
federal report, els the concentration
of low-income states in the South"
Mississippi's $555 for 1916 was the
lowest of all.
In almost all states last years per
capita income exceeded wartime
highs, and in three-fourths of the
states it was at least double the 1910
level.
But at border cities like Detroit
and Calais, Me-, a new local custom
was becoming an accepted traffic. 1t
was the crossing of US. boundaries
by shoppers seeking 40 cent beef and
so cent meals in Canada.
