Letters to The Star
Prices in Paris

II
To the Editor Of The Star:
The Associated Press report on Senator
Thomas feeling about food in Europe and
prices in London and Paris, was interesting.
His experience with prices in Paris is differ
ent from that of writer in the September
number of the Atlantic Monthly. In this
article are listed some Of the moderate priced
restaurants and their prices, $3.50 can purchase
a good meal.
The Senator probably dined at one OF the
swanky Partisan places, patronzed by the
affluent and those who are not paying their
own bills.
According to the Atlantic article, one infers
that France is, as it always has been, q
cheaper place to travel than the United States.
Western Europe needs more money and the
inhabitants are depriving themselves OF much
in order to make travel in their countries
more attractive to paying guests

Indications of Our "Imperialism"
To the Editor Of The Star:
The recent demonstrations in some Of the
South American countries signify lot more
than you see on the surface. Looking under
the surface, if we will take time we will find
many reasons for outbursts against our I'm.
perialism" They aren't sudden" outbursts
as they have existed long time. Anyone who
has known intimately people from south-of-
he-border, and who has really tried to under
stand their viewpoint realizes that there are
endless differences between us-not the least
of which is our yen for the material and their
apparent disregard for the same.
Would we rise up with Joy and applaud II
large sums Of foreign money were controlling
the biggest share of our business enterprise?
Would we welcome Fundamentally, with out
country (alled with all types Of mixtures Of
races whose people, on the average, look down
on us because we are "inferiOr?'
Doesn't it seem little ironical that, after
all of our highsounding publicity about being
good neighbors, they should find on coming
here as students that only about one out Of
one hundred Gf that many treats them as
people like ourselves and fewer than that

Prefers Honest to Goodness
To Editor of The Star:
Although I could hardly be classified as

the expression honest to Cod in public print

Newsprint Shortage
Likely 10 Continue,
Pub bIishers Are Told
BY the Associoted Press

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Sept. IT.
The Southern Newspaper Publishers
Association was warned today by
its Newsprint ConUnittee that its
members should prepare for an in
definite continuation of the present
"newsprint stringency"
The committee, headed by D.
Hiden Ramsey, general manager of
the Asheville. N. c., Citizen Times,
told the closing session of the
associations 45th anniversary con-
vention here that there is no reason
for believing that the newsprint
stringency will end In the near fu-
ture."
at will probably take a business
recession to bring supply and demand
into approximate balance" the COM
mittee continued.
Transport May Be Poor.
1.-THE transportation conditions will
probably be unfavorable during the
coming winter. The boxcar shortage
very definitely limits the power of
railway lines to move freight. The
possibility of a railroad strike or a
shipping tieup cannot be ruled out
of the calculations of prudent busi-
neSsmen. . d" Simple common sense
dictates that where inventories are
low they should be built up.
1.-The dangers inherent in the open
market transactions in newsprint at
prices far in excess of contract prices
should be emphasized. It Is
reasonable to argue that the pub
Usher who pays high prices for open
market newsprint is literally daring
his regular source to boost its
prices. The wide spread between
open market prices and contract
prices can have the further effect
to attracting into the open market
newsprint that is manufactured for
contract customers"

mander OF the Women's Army Corps.
ITU Stand Is Discussed.
Before recessing business, the
publishers discussed conditions
raised by the Taft-Hartley law amid
indications that the SNPA Resolu-
tions Committee-which postponed
its report until today-would pro-
pose a definite stand of action un-
der the statute.
The discussion centered around
the collective bargaining policy
adopted by the International Typo
graphical Union convention August
21, which stipulated the ITU would
refrain from signing contracts" but
would accept employment only under
conditions of employment which
the several unions adopt"
Terming the ITU stand "ill-con-
ceived," Donald r. McVay, Chicago
labor commissioner for the American
Newspaper Publishers Association
warned the Southern publishers to
guard against any action that might
open them to damages.
