FARM INCOME

Despite the tapering off of grain prices, total farmer income this year will approximate l947's rec ord $30,500 100000.
 Following the conmodity-market break last spring, government ex- perts were fearful of marked slump in farmer income. The fears were needless. Preliminary statistics show that grower 1n- come will be little less, if any, than last years record-smashing peak.
 That's good news in the national economic picture. It means no falling off in the vital segment of farmer buying. And when the farmer huys freely, industrial ac- tivity stays high.

 The Republican standard-bearer "scooped" the White House on this vote getting announcement.

HOT AIR

President Truman's penchant for taking right" and then doing mo- thing about it is being graphically illustrated in little drama in- volying a local Washington issue.
 During his preconvention politi- cal junket, the President did a lot of loud inveighing against the utilities. He blasted them from stem to stern. But he has yet to lift a finger in bald utility rate grab right under his own nose.
 The Washington Street Car Com pany, already with a lo-cent cash fare, is asking a boost to 10 cents. The utility claims it needs this rate to get sback to 7lz per cent profit level. This unusually high return was fixed by an old guard Public Utility Commission.

THE NEW LOOK
FOR MEN ONLY

The new look" which has been
'cquired by the female of the spe-
cies now being an accepted fact, II
would seem appropriate to inquire
as to what the fashion designers
and clothing entrepreneurs have in
store for the men-folk during the
year 1948. After pursuing our in
quiries hither and yon, especially in
our favorite jackson Street haber-
dashery where we waste entirely
too much time Gust like the en-
ployees thereof, we come up with
the startling news that masculini-
ty, not to be outdone by the females,
will also blossom forth with novel
and distinctive garb during the
coming year. In short, new look
for men, no less.
We are Informed that mems
clothing, to be at the acme of style,
will have what Is known as the
Bold Look. The essentials of this
new style will undoubtedly be fea-
tured in trade advertising for the
coming season, but In keeping with
our reputation for giving out with
all the news, we'll hand our read
ers a few tips. Suits, for example,
will feature the rough and rugged
cloths, and will be styled in pat
terms to compliment the virile Anne
rican male. Neckties and socks will
be bold in use of colors and patterns
of various kinds. Shoes will con-
tinue the trend away from plain
styles, and will be serviceable and
rugged as well as good-looking.
We emphasize the fact that the
Bold Look" does not mean loud"
or "flashy". Mems clothing must
still be in good taste, in harmoni-
Gus or smoothly contrasting en-
sembles; but the accent for the
young men will be decidedly away
from the subdued garb of the
banker or the undertaken.
Some time in the future, your

5estir itself toward honoring the
memory of the Nisei soldiers whose
bodies are being returned to the
states. With only about a month
eft before the first bodies will ar
rive in this vicinity, there will be
little time to dilly-dally around. It
S to be hoped that the communi-
y representatives will put personal
oncerns aside. decide quickly upon
workable plan, and devote all
heir individual energy toward
bringing that plan into fruition in
he short time that remains. Let's
oil up our sleeves and get to work.

Arrival of First Nisei CT Bodies

The bodis of Nisei soldiers from this area who
died on the European and Asiatic fronts in World
War II are slowly being brought back to the
mainland.
The first bodies will arrive in this vicinity
sometime next month"; according to word received
here by the Nisei Veterans Committee.
Together With the NVC, the Seattle japanese
community is presently pooling all its financial re-
sources and marshaling all its manpower to honor
TIE memory of those men who died so that the
livir japanese in our country may return to a
normal American way of life after a prolonged
period of ;ndecison, confusion and hardship.
Time is short but it is not too late, we believe,
for TIE community to go about in it's effort to
back the NVC in this worthwhile project.
H-eper, careful handling of the first bodies is
important IN that the parents and kin of the Nj
sci CT = whose bodies will be here later would be
assured that all arrangements are in good hands.

appreciation towards the Nsei CT dead, won't you

Career and Marriage

recr that will enhance or injure her
womanliness.
Men and women who love each
other CAN blend career and mar
riage to nice proportion.
Remembering that our educa-
ton and culture have been western,
in spite of some cultural influences
at home from Issei parents, we
must take good look at the Nisei
home to find out why career be-
comes VERSUS. In B. c., very
few Nisei couples had their own
homes, but then the number of
marriages were lower than they
might have been due to our low fl
nancial status.
Nisei Homes
What are Nisei homes like to-
a rarity, but this time the cause is
housing shortage. This time it
isn't the Nisei couple that live
with their parents and in-laws, but
Gay2 One house per couple is still
the parents that live with the
young folks. Now, it isn't the
young wife who is subordinate to
the elder in household duties, but
the elder who helps her daughter
in return for shelter and food.
Sometimes both of them have jobs
outside the house, but the authori-
ty belongs to the younger genera
ton.
Far too many Nisei couples have
to live in two and three-room flats,
complicated by having every room
double for several uses, making
housework inconvenient and priva-
cy an illusion.
A home ought to be where ev-
erything has its ordered place,
where a bedroom does not double
for a dining and living room;
where a kitchen is a kitchen and
not sink In the hall; where a
child can grow without the natural
repressions common to third floor
flats where there is no backyard
to run around in. The present
over-crowed actudlity is bad enough
for the domestically inclined types
OF women. What do you think it
does to the career woman?
If it is remembered that career
women have been told and told
again that their kind doesn't exist,
that they aren't true" women,
that they ought to be domestically
inclined since they are not ge-
muses., we can understand the ago.
ny they suffer Gas misfits) without
their career. They must have
their careers and all the appurten-
ances thereof as much as the do
nestle types need a home. Careers
do not make for neglectful wives
nor poor mothers but unbalanced
personalities whatever the type of
woman can become unsuccessful
wives and bad mothers. AS long
as there is no clear understanding
of the career woman type, they will
suffer most and in suffering, reap
the results in Illustrations and psy-
chic ills.
The miracle is I suppose 1t is
not really miracle since 1t is
more in character for these career
women-that they make fair sue
cess of both career and marriage
But no true career woman will
delegate her most important jobs
to anyone else. She'll keep the
reins on her work and on her mar
riage, and neither will suffer as the
consequence of too much absorb
ton in the other.

This Changing World
Western Europe Anxiously Seeking Aid
L Against Expected Soviet Aggression

the other Allies, seem to have given
up all hope for better relations with
the Russians and are preparing to
the best Of their ability for any
eventuality.
Premier Schuman's government is
aware that France will be faced soon
with another outbreak from the
Communists, who suffered a major
setback last Fall, and is taking
every precaution to meet the second
onslaught.
The partisan armies of the Com
munists are being quickly dissolved,
their members arrested and am
munition caches-discovered almost
every week in various parts of the
country-are either confiscated or
destroyed.
War Materials Asked.
Unofficial suggestions have been
made to American officials that the
United States begin providing the
$50, 900 men in Frances armed forces
with vital technical war materials
The French army, in its present
shape, can cope with domestic
troubles but has only negligible po-
tential for defense against Russian
aggression.
The State Department naturally
is aware of these new trends In that
part Of Europe which we are now
striving to save from Communist
domination. But, despite our Ger
tainty that we can no more do busi-
ness with Stain than with Hitler,
only reserved answers are given to
these unofficial queries.
The reason is said to be the fear
that Congress in this election year
may choose to make political foot
ball out of any administration effort
to send more economic and financial
help to countries threatened by the
U. S. s. r.
The unexpected publication by the
State Department Of documents
seized in Germany, documents which
show the duplicity of the Soviet
government and its close association
with the Nazi way of thinking be-
tween the Fall OF 1889 and the Sum-
mer of 1941, is said to have been
prompted by the desire to bolster
Mr.. Bevin's speech in the House of
Commons.
The documents, which were found
in 1945, had been translated and
were ready for publication since
November ~, 1916. But the State
Department waited and decided to
release them only when they could
be of new psychological" value.

Double Disservice.
This sort Of thing, In my opinion,
does a double disseryice. First. it
makes a great big flbber out Of Mr..

average Americans feel as If we

The chances are that when the

to put down copy Of "The Corpse

telephone. My guess Is that Mr..
Biggun resented the call because 1t
made him stop reading just ut the
point where the corpse had sneezed,
much to the ama5ement Of the sls-
