have inventories Of larger size than is
compatible with good business prac-
tees. With heavy stocks Of goods in
their storerooms and warehouses they
cannot see their way clear to invest
heavily in new stock for holiday de-
livery. The Wall Street Journal re-
ports one exhibitor as saying:
"A buyer from n of the big de-
partment stores told me his store has a
$25, 900 inventory of gift and art mer-
chandise is wants to clean out at cost.
That store usually spends $4,000 for
Christmas giftware. This year they
won't spend more than $4,000 and may
be not more than $1,000"
Another reason obviously is that
with the spiraling cost Of living buyer
resistance is growing. Truly, u eco
nomic condition is in a bad way not
w~ithstanding our great national wealth.

Golden Smiles

With the Border Belt tobacco mar
lot. scheduled to open on Thursday
this broad section of North Carollnf
i, anticipating exceptional sales ane
good prices.
Tobacco growers know that because
of a smaller crop than last year ano
the extraordinary demand, not only al
home but abroad, the golden leaf"
will bring in a rich harvest. And bus
mess men, from bankers and automo-
bile agents to the smallest retail mer'
chant, know that a good tobacco mar
ket means better trade, broader opera
tons, for them.
Furthermore, as the bulk Of the ma
tons tobacco manufacturing industry
Ia conferred in North Carolina, the whole
state obviously is in line for more-than-
ordinary prosperity if the present out
look is fulfilled. And there is every
prospect that it will be.
In his enlightening article in Sat
urday's Star, Mr.. Walter H. Paramore,
sales supervisor of the Whiteville mar
ket, forsees a seven hundred million
pound domestic consumption this year.
with five hundred and fifty million
pounds for export. The revenues to be

from Japan's current production. The
factors supporting this theory are:
1. Preparations removal plans orig
inally drafted by American occupation
authorities have been held up more
than a year and it now appears impos-
sible to undertake removals without a
completely new plan and time schedule.
2. General MacArthus himself is
known to be against the ~reparations
program as presently constituted and
on n occasion repeatedly remarked
that reparations as a system of war
compensations were archaic.
8. Russia and particularly China are
believed to be strongly in favor of
changing the reparations policy in
favor of payment in products from
current Japanese production.
Whatever the ultimate decision, it
is obvious that some decision should
be arrived at, and quickly, so that
Japan may be restored to even partial
economic stability as a preliminary step
on the pathway toward documented
peace. ,

Santa Claus Punched

~ During those lush times of wal when
workers were being paid unaccustomed
wages and spending like drunken sail
-ors, we heard a merchant say: ut
doesn't make any difference what you
put on your shelves, it will sell like hot
cakes" And it was true. Loose money
and limited stocks in trade make for
quick turnover.
Those days are past. Despite high
wages and increasing supplies Of con-
sumner goods, merchandising is not
moving at as free and easy a pace now.
Poor old Santa Claus is already be-
-binning to feel the pinch. Los Angeles
is holding it's customary midsummer
California gift and art show. Some
three hundred exhibitors are display
ing their products with at least two
thousand buyers in attendance. Lamps.
dinnerwear, novelty gadgets, costume
jewelry, wood carvings, ceramic fig-
.ures, china, glass and copper pieces are
alluringly grouped. But the buyers,
who formerly ordered lavishly, are now
looking at price tags and buying with
extreme caution.
Why? We'll, for one thing, merchant.
