every economist worth his pay-check

day by day. In desperation, the
President, having no legislation to
aid him, has appealed to business
men and industria1ists to take on
this problem, in their own interest
as well as the country's. Many
have responded. Big concerns and
little concerns have cut prices. Some
whole trade groups have acted. Re-
tailers have joined in the effort, here
and there.
Surface Only Scratched.
But the effect of all this has been
only to scratch the surface. The
real trouble lies deeper. 1t lies in
the cost of basic commodities like
steel, steel itself being the one most
important. AS long as steel prices
continue high, the prices Of things
made from steel will continue high.
United States Steel could cut
prices now and still enjoy better
profits this year than 1t has in
many of the best years Of its ex-
istence. Yet at the annual meeting
of stockholders held In Yonkers,
N. j., last week, Chairman Irving
S. Olds announced fatty there would
be no reduction In steel prices.
The recession, due to inflated
prices, is here. It is here, at least,
as far as a lot of people are con-
cerned. In New York City unem-
rose by Is per cent be-
tween the middle Of March and the
end of April. On April rs the total

adjustment benefits and $4,000

insurance rights for

This Changing " ord
Nations Out to Take Care Of Selves
With Two Million Men Under Arms

and the United Nations was estab-
#Iished, most of the countries in the
world were relying on their own
either for aggressive pur-
poses and continued territorial and
political expansion, or for defense
against threatened aggression.
Typical Of the first category are
the Soviet Union and most Of Its
satellites. In the second category
must be placed Greece and Turkey,
the latter being credited with an
army Of 675, 900 young men who
have been taken from farming and
industry.
The military budget OF the U. S.
s. r. is the largest OF all, Even If
we accept the official figure and do
not look for hidden items. which
exist In all European budgets, Russia
this year Is spending $13,400, ,O00, 900
compared with the $11 ,256, 900 900
demanded by the American armed
forces. Congress plans to further
reduce that amount.
Figures Don't Tell Story.
Figures alone, however, are de-
ceiving. For instance, Russia spends
less than $40 a month on the pay
and maintenance of each of her
soldiers. The American expediture
for each member of the armed
forces, including his pay and sub
sistence, is 10 times that figure.
Thus the Russian budget can pro-
vide far greater sums for equip
ment, technical development and
other highly important items for
modern armies than the United
States.
Because the founders of the
United Nations realized that the
world would be restless for some
years after the cease-fire signal was
given, the U. N. charter provided
for the organization of an inter-
national army to keep order in the
world and to prevent, to the best of
its ability, at least minor agrees
sions, such as are occurring on the
northern border of Greece.
This plan is still only plan. The
efforts of the Military Staff Com
mittee to provide for such a force
have been fruitless because of the
difficulties raised by the Soviet rep
resentatives, whose government ap-
prefers that every nation
take care of itself, rather than de-
pend on the international peace

on available official data obtained
from the various governments and
from War Department Intelligence
His figure Is not necessarily cor
rect, however, despite the authorita-
tive character of his sources, for
many governments, particularly
those behind the iron curtain, keep
their actual military strength a top
secret, known only to a few trusted
high officials.
Cost Put at s27,oO0, ,o0O, 900.
The cost involved in keeping these
standing armies is estimated at ST.
000, ,00o, 600 annually, at the official,
but fictitious, rates of exchange of
the dollar. The Russian ruble, the
Polish zloty. the Romanian leu, the
Bulgarian leva and the Yugoslay
dinar are far below the official rate
of exchange, as are the franc, the
lira and the Spanish peseta.
The vast majority OF nations
which are frittering away their SUBJ

Waves are In like situation.
The. WAC bill has passed the
Budget Bureau where It is only
being held to serve as model for
the WAVES who seem to have been
a little dilatory. It provides that
WACS shall comprise 2 per cent o1
the authorized strength of the Army
at any time, Of whom Is per cent
shall be officers. Assignment Is not
restricted by statute except that
combat service is banned. (The
WAVE bill will also ban service
aboard Naval vessels except hospitals
ships.) Both WACS and WAVES
are to be allowed overseas service
a prerogative long enjoyed by WACS
and deeply envied by WAVES.
The Navy is also holding bill to
establish WAVE reserve, a ma
neuver which the women members
of Congress regard with a deeply
suspicious eye. The Navy's explana-
ton is that 1t wants both and any,
way 1t Is holding the Reserve bill as
an alternative in case the Congress
refuses to give them a permanent
corps Of WAVES.
Representative Margaret Chase
Smith OF Maine has served notice
upon the Admirals, however, that If
it's WAVES they want they have got
to give them the prestige, perma-
nence, security and perquisites that
the Navy gives its men personnel.
She would not, she said, be party
to arranging to give them high

be shunted in and out of reserve

Husbands Argument.
The husband argues that II he Is
going to spend his time working In
the garden, crushing worms, yanking
up weeds, putting cricks In his back
and callouses on his hands. plus
running up whacking bill at the
seed and hardware stores, then he
is going to have something to show
neighbors and passers-by.
The wife contends that a mans
home Is his castle and that 1t Is
more important to have the living
room, dining room, and other as
sorted rooms look lovely, than it Is
to have the garden look like some
thing that would make Wordsworth
swoon with delight.
I side with the husband, not just
because I happen tosbe the hus-
band In question, but because I
know several things which make my
position unassailahle. In the first
place, flowers were here long be-
fore man or woman made things to

before pots, begonias before bowls,
marigolds before mantelpieces, and
hyacinths before houses. They were
