CONGRESS-:
Doom, OPA

Long the whipping boy for public
and politician alike, OPA was head
ed for the discard by June 80 be-
cause Of congressional limitation of
its funds. The Office of temporary
controls, established last December
as the supervisory agency over re-
naming wartime regulatory bu-
reaus, also was scheduled to 60.
With abolition of OPA, it was re-
ported that rent control would be
transferred to the department of
commerce and sugar control to the
department of agriculture. Because
Of the scarcity Of housing and sugar
In the face of tremendous demand,
legislators continued to favor their
regulation to prevent hardship and
skyrocketing prices.
While the Republican minority
continued to ride herd in the house
and threatened to put OPA out Of

MEAT:
Consumer Pressure

During the extensive debates over
decontrolling meat, arguments flew
thick and fast whether strict gov
eminent control or the law of supply
and demand constituted the best
method of keeping retail prices with
in bounds.
Little was heard of consumer
sense, but consumer sense 1t is that
has been keeping meat prices with
in reasonable levels in recent weeks,
packers report. Much as people like
pork, they have been passing it up
for cheaper cuts of beef, and many
butchers have been following the
line of least resistance in serving
customers.
Having processed pork from the
recent record price hogs for fresh
sale, packers have been compelled
to cut wholesale charges as much
as eight cents a pound under costs
to move their supplies. Even with
the cut, they have encountered diff
ficulty selling their meat. With the
pork trade determined by demand,
packers have scaled down their Of
ferings for live hogs, with the result
that the record prices gradually
have receded.

A mighty little man is Edward
James Millsat, age one, of Los An
geles, Calf. Medics say that Ed
ward has the physical and mental
characteristics Of 3h-year-old boy
and well they may. From ~ pounds

has eight teeth, walks and trOts and
can utter a number Of words. Even

In wonder.
INSURANCE:
Nearly rs per cent of the funds
invested by U. S. life insurance
companies last year was placed in
the securities of industrial concerns
Of this country, compared with less
than 10 per cent in 1915.
Industrial and miscellaneous
bonds purchased by these compa-
MES last year amounted to $780,
000, 900 and stocks acquired, In large
part industrial shares, came to
$403, 900, 900, making an aggregate of
81, 333, 000, 900. Total holdings rose to

ough'S order calling
for a suspension of the recent soft
coal strike to provide additional time
for working on an agreement. In
his majority opinion, Chief Justice
Vinson wrote:
"The interests Of orderly gov
eminent demand respect and
compliance be given to orders
issued by courts. In our
complex society there is a great
variety Of limited loyalties, but
the overriding loyalty Of all is
to our country and to the institu-
tons under which a particular
interest may be pursued. ."
To emphasize the gravity of the
offense, the court sustained Lewis
fine of $4,000 and placed the UNIV
fine at 100000.
The accompanying issue of wheth-
er the Norris-La Guardia act pro-
hibiting the issuance of injunctions
against strikes in labor disputes
could be applied in the UNIV walk
out against the government found
the court more narrowly divided.
By 5 to decision, the majority de-
creed that the act does not apply to
government employees and since the
U. S. has been operating the mines
UNIV members fell in that classifi-
cation.

SMALL BUSINESS:
More Openings

Fully expectant of cashing in
on the huge postwar need for all
kinds of goods, 500, 900 new small
businesses were opened up in
1916, the department of COM
merce estimated. This brought
the total number of business en-
terprises up to 1888, 1000.
During the first six months of
the year, 1855, 900 new businesses
were begun, the department dis
closed. While the rate declined
somewhat in the latter part of
the year, it was estimated 322,-
600 new establishments opened
their doors, bringing the grand
total to 687, 900. Against this,
$4,000 businesses failed.
Shortages Of some goods, high
prices and stiff taxes failed to
check the small business boom.
Other lines were adopted to sup
plement income, an increase in
installment buying helped to
ease high prices and operators
still made money despite federal
taxes.

EUROPE:
Hen, in Reich

Even before determination of the
future design of Germany, the ma
jor powers are proceeding to build
ring Of steel around the reich to
guard against a revived German
state waging a third war of agrees
sion.
The British and French forged the
first link with a 50-year alliance,
pledging the two countries to go to
each others assistance in the event
Of an attack by Germany or any
other country. At the same time,
the two allies agreed to integrate
their economies to build an indus
trial base for war and promote the
exchange of goods.
Frances declaration that she
would offer the same terms to other
major powers led to speculation
whether the treaty would implement
the U. S. proposal for a defensive
alliance of the Big Four against
the threat of future German resur-
gence. Thus far, Russia has SHE'D
away from the U. S. proposition, but
has been dickering with Britain for
a muSlal aid pact.
Holland and Belgium were expect
ed to act favorably upon the French
invitation to consummate a similar
defensive and economic pact. On the
other hand, Poland and Czechoslo-
vakia were expected to look to Mos
COW for instructions on negotiating
such a treaty.

U.N.:
atom ROW

The question of national SOW
ereignty-of a country retaining its
freedom of action-has long blocked
efforts at effective International CO.
operation, and the same question
threatens the utility of the United
Nations.
Russia brought the question into
the open in the U. N. security coun-
ellis deliberation on the U. SIS pro-
posal for international control of
atomic energy. Delegate Gromyko
declared that any plan that failed
to protect the national sovereignty
of participating nations lacked real
ity and could not be accepted by
practical statesmen.
Under the U. S. proposal for an
all-powerful atomic authority that
would regulate the use of nuclear
energy and possess rigid inspection
rights to guard against violations,
Gromyko said that the authority
could interfere in Russia's internal
affairs in matters not directly asso-
ciated with atomic production. He
repeated the charge that the U. S.
plan placed other countries at dis
advantage because America would
retain its atomic secrets and plants
during the period when the rest of
the world would be complying with
initial controls.
