ma Nutcracker

"Ihe retail industry has prospered," says the American Retail
Federation. But, it continues, profits all now falhng-and in some
were so per cent lower during the first quarter of l947 compar-
ed with the 1916 figure.
Retailers total operating cost arc continuing upward. Unit
costs, on the other hand, have been low. lhis is because merchants,
for the first time in history, have been operating at close to physi-
cal capacity. Margins have been trimmed, thus passing the fruits OF
high volume on to the consumes.
AT the present time, the retailer is in a nutcracker, caught be-
tween high Wholesale prices on the one hand and consumer demand
for lower prices On he other. Most stores, whether chain or independ-
ent, have already put into effect sl possible operating economies.
Their net profit martins r about as low as they can be and still
permit continued operation. Major price reductions. as a consc-
quence, can come at the retail level only if they first come att the
wholesale level.
Manufacturers, retailers and consumers have identical interests.
Mass production and mass distribution IN the backbone of the Amen-
can economy-and they ar dependent upon prices which the con-
sumers can pay. Steady employment and high wages for labor are
only possible if the people of America CAM absorb the enormous out
put of our farms and factories. When goods are priced beyond the
reach of masses of people, the welfare OF the entire country is in
danger.
Manufacturers, farmers and labor must all do their part to pre-
vent further price acresses, and 10 effect price reductions whenever
possible.
The competitive characteristic of the American retail distribution
system will result in most of these savings being passed on TO the con.
sumner.

Time For Labor Statemanship

Wiring OF early results of the TaftHartley labor law, DAVID
Lawrence said: ALREADY major labor unions have Pledged 'nemse'
yes to settle their disputes with employers directly and to resort as
little % possible to governmental boards-a development long hoped
for but not until now beginning to be realized."
) It NAV be that the new labor INV will encourage a return to- our
traditional system of collective bargainng-and that the trend viii
10 away from running to the government whenever labor and man
aeemeut find themselves IN disagreement. One of the worst phases
Of labor troubles in recent years has been the trend toward dlctatori-
= Government Intervention. If dat were continued indefinitely,
s.mc governmental bureau would inevitably become the cz@ OF all
labor relations in ahiscountry-to the detriment of managers, stock
holders and workers alike.
On the other hand and, It is apparent that some large unions are
sr determined to do everything possible to make the Iaf-Ha1iey
Law inouerative, to circumvent Cossress and the popular will. Should
these practives become widespread, at the expense of production and
employment in this country, there will unqustienably be an irresistible
ruLEc demand for legislation of a much more stringent character.
Labor craftsmanship of the highest order is needed now.

Bring Christ to the Nations

Sounds have every reason to-
speak a special prayer Of thanks
giving to God for giving us
mothers like that. And while the
Bible tells us that fathers are in
first line accountable to God for
bringing up their children in the
nurture and admonition Of the
Lord. it is also true that in the
practical working out of this
training it is generally the mother
who must do most of this work of
teaching children prayers, reading
them Bible stories, and guiding
their little footsteps to toddle a
long the path which follows the
meek and lowly Christ"
The radio speaker concluded.
you parents who are so deter
mined to give godd things DO your
children, please do not get SO In
terested in the many things Of
this world, that you forget the
most important treasure Of all.
God has a blessing which is reser-
we'd for His children of faith. He
wants them to inherit the kindom
not made with hands eternal in
the heavens, and in order that
they may receive the crown Of life
he wants you to bring them to

which he written-but was refus-
ed as Negroes are barred from
libraries in some cities; and yet
they pay taxes the same as any
white man.
The only alternative which re-
mains is to remove the barriers.
Before Negroes car satisfy their
needs as human beings, Jim
Crow" and prejudice" must be
erased from the American scene.
The prejudice is very difficult to
overcome because it is so deeply
rooted and kept alive by large
land interests who wish to main
tain a cheap laboor supply. Many
people do not understand the real
roots of prejudice, nor do they see
how their welfare Is involved.
In short, prejudice is not object
i've. It is a distorted way Of think
ing. In fact it is a morons way
Of thinking.
Nevertheless there IS race pre-
judice in Amrica and the world.
When a mans need is great, he
can find no good substitute, then
he may have to attach the OBJ
stacles directly. If we want to
get to the other side Of the
stream. and none of the usual
means oS getting across are avail
able. sch as a boat o. a bridge,
we may have to swim.
The more pressing the need, the
more We think of overcoming the
restrictions. When the need is in
surmountable barrier. Scientists
have shown us how to overcome
the force of gravity by planes,
reduce distances by radar. Some
day we will learn how to conquer
'~;incurable, diseases and other
natural ofrces which mar hap
piness: we will also eliminate pre-
JUDGES.
Sometimes we fail to see the
barrier can be changed. There
was a French King who sat be-
side an open fire so hot that it
o became intolerable. But since
kings do not do mental things, he
could not get up and shift the
chair himself. The servants bell
was out of reach and so he chose
to be roasted to death rather than
change a basic conviction.
That sounds silly, yet in our
ways, we frequently do similar
things. If we challenge our con-
victions, we may find that some
of our problems may disappear.
AS we attempts to improve race
relations, we do it on the oonvic-
ton that race prejudice a be
eradicated and that discrimination
can be abolished. We think this
because our belief that nature Of
man can be improved. We know
shak vs must not rely wholly On
