1t would be bad mistake to confuse
the real trend Of events in the South with
the political shell game which the Dixie
Gratis are trying to palm off on the public
as an honest battle against federal domin-
alton Of the states.
Northern and eastern controlled cor
porations, whose officers are Republicans.
are in this thing up to their necks-and
make no mistake about it.
SO are union-fighting Southern mill
owners.
These groups know that adoption Of a
real civil rights program would encourage
the growth of mionism below the Mason
Dixon line.
And this would result in the political
death of many Of the lackeys who do the
corporations bidding in the legislative
halls.
Actually. the future political control of
the South may be at stake.
Those in power view with alarm the
campaigns which have doubled the CIO
membership in the region in two years
and added quite a few members to the
AFL rolls.
They are frightened by the growing
liberal groups which are fighting the cold
Southern traditions which have kept the
region from advancing economically and
in the field of education.
They are worried by the growing re-
bellion against ''o~utsidc'' corporate con
troll of the South.

UNIONS BECOMING
MUCH TOO STRONG

Many Of the persons who advocated or
voted for the Taft Hartley act and other
mti-union legislation will tell YOU their
action resulted from their feeling that
1.-THE unions were becoming much too
strong"
Just ask them. ''Too strong for what?"
and watch them squirm.
They were becoming too strong for the
comfort of employers who believed en-
pIovcS should have nothing to say about
the conditions under which they work and
live.
They were becoming too strong for the
comfort Of the ~monopolists. the business
bosScd politicians. the open-shop indus
t%rialiSts. the preachers Of propcrty-rights-
ahove-humMn-rights.
They we're posing a dangerous threat
but not to the welfare of the nation. The
threat was to those who shouted about
preserving democracy but gave it only lip
service and to those who got the cock
eyed idea that about 90 per cent Of the
fruits Of capitalism should 90 to those to
whom the newspapers refer rs ''capital-
lists"
The very nature Of the Taft-Hartley act
and other anti-labor measures gives the
lie to the oft-rcpeated statements of spon-
Sors that they had no desire to weaken or
destroy trade unions.
Among the most avid hackers of the
measures were men who have tried almost
every scheme under the sun to bust the
unions with which they dealt.
Well, where do we go from here?
Toward an era in which trade unionism
is smashed in the courts and the legisla-
tive chambers?
Toward a period in which labor takes
its rightful place in the sun and speaks
with as much force as management?
That will depend largely on what hap

Profits and Sales
(New York Times)


 Two earnings reports covering the period of the sharp price rise this year confirm the previous dence that profiteerng cost living items has not been significant factor in this rise. Swift and Go reports that in the year ending Nov l. the companys sales exceeded $2200000000 and that it's earnings were equal to cent for every dollar of sales. Prior to allowance for special fund to meet highcost ad- ditions to fixed the return equal to about Is cents per dollar of sales In the previous year these earnings averaged 13 The company also reported that on it's operations alone it averaged less than one-ouarter of a cent pound The Cudahy Packing Company reported similar results.
 Certainly the rise in meat prices cannot be at trbuted to this narrow profit margin. Even the elimination of profits would have had only minor effect upon the level of prices for foods processed by this company similar situation prevails for other food processors, although the specific margins vary from those cited for Swift
 A much larger decline in profit margin is shown in the study of the NRDCA covering the nine months ended Oct. 31 This report which covered 1855 lnde- pendent stores showed that the profit before taxes in the 1947 period, was 62 per cent compared with 04 per cent in the period in 1946 Net profits after taxes declined to 39 cent this year from 65 per cent in 1946 In part this poor profits record reflected an increase in operating expenses which were 25 per centage points higher in 1947
 To some extent the reduction in profits margins has been offset by substantial increase in the num- Der of dollars of sales Thus Swift and Co., had an increase of Fl per cent in total sales in 1947 The result was substantial in the number of dollars of profit despite the reduction in profit per sales dollar But this increase in dollar profits reflected larger volume rather than wider profit margins For depa.ment stores on the other hand the increase in volume was relatively small, and hence the change in profits per dollar of sales was accompanied by similar decline in actual dollars earned However the record for retailing is in contrast with that in all corporations where profits after taxes have risen substantially this year

Broken Homes
CWashington Post)


 Signs of more basic approach to the divorce problem than law passing or moral featuring are n- creasing Latest to advocate long-range educa- tion and research the subject is George Thorman author of a new Public Affairs pamphlet Broken Homes After exploring the field of marriage break down for the Public Affairs Committee Inc, non- profit educational organization, MT. Thorman comes up with the conclusion that tightening divorce laws will not cut the number of divorces He does not think divorce is primarily legal problem Rather it is problem of the physical and psychological ad- ustment of two persons who if they find their dis satisactions unbearsbe" will find way of break ing their legal bonds. Recalling experience with prohibition he says an unpopular restrictive law on though States have been steadily tightening their divorce laws divorce today is breaking up marriages three times as rapidly it did half century ago.
 To attribute this to enient marriage laws pre- vailing moral axity superficial thinking MT Thor man believes. Marriage like other institutions, is trying to adapt itself to a rapidly changing world Women particularly have attitude toward it. They will no longer endure cruelty immortality just to make their marriage last. Both and men expect more from marriage than formerly. In oday's thinking marriage is longer good" just because it lasts The time has come, MT Thorman thinks to quit mudding through in marriage in unscientific way He would bring the combined efforts of doctors psychatrsts educators, ministers and social workers to bear on the problem and would provide pre- marriage education, marriage counselng, and above all more research marriage failures and how to avoid them

RATE INVESTIGAT

Over the past two years the Territory of Alaska has thrown away approximately S5OOOO. more, in wasted efforts to prove that shipping rates to ana from Alaska are unjust and unreasonable one wash ngton expert attorney has collected more than S3o0oo from the Territorial Treasury for this cause, even though in the employ of the Territory for hardly year, if that long The bills haven't come in yet for the two experts employed at the recent investigation two former Alaska OPA parasites who became experts during the regime of the bureaucrats.
 If seems to us that it's about time that some of these expenditures were questioned These investiga tons seem to work out good thing for the experts but the people of Alaska haven't seen any results so far.
 The steamship companies serving Alaska also have been put to considerable expense in these nvestiga- tons although we doubt if the steamship companies have been as liberal as the Territory in giving away money.
 Under the present operating agreement the gov ernnent has provided a form of subsidy calculated to make the 50 per cent lower than they would have to be without subsidy in order to give the steamship operators reasonable return upon their investment
 In the face of this it seems foolish to contend that the present unjust and unreasonable ID the eyes of the Maritime Commission.
 It is another thing to say that the rates are too high to promote the development of Alaska But everything else too high, also. The Maritime Con-
 mission recognizes that shipping rates high. but 1t points out that costs of the shipping business also are too high
 The Maritime Commission suggests that some form of additional subsidy be worked out so that rates can be further reduced aid the development of Alaska And for the life of us, we can't why our Terri torial officials buck such a plan and insist upon spending a great deal of money for something they cannot accomplish.

the Russians who were smart enough to get publicity when they delivered food. Or, as Le Figaro, answering Humanite, put it, Tt would have been better, no doubt, if some clever sabotage had de- railed the Friendship Train. But since it has unfortunately come safely into port the attack must be made on this terrible Drew Pearson. For this aggressor, Drew Pearson, is none other than a journalist who launched the idea of the Friendship Train. He might well have expected that the Com munists would not let such in science pass without comment

Carlos Sforza and their assistants.
 Helping to tell the story of American aid have been two pie torial supplements printed in the Italian and French languages by Il Progresso Americana in New York and hy Look Magazine, showing pictures of the train as it travelled through the US.A.
 Various airlines, including VIVA, Pan American, Air France and the Army Transport Command, pat riotically volunteered to fly these booklets to Europe in order to get them here in time. Furthermore, they carried them at considerable financial sacrifice since they had to throw off profitable Christmas cargos. These picture stories, how ever, have been most popular, es- pecially in Italy where crowds on station platforms fought for cop ies of Il Progresso.
 The only discordant note in the French reception of the Friend ship Train was sounded by the Communist paper, Humanite, last week in an editorial attacking me as a "blackguard and with ill breeding" ''to Drew Pearson and his accomplices, concluded Humanite, "our contempt
 The most significant part of the editorial, however, was its state ment, Tt is scandalous that in cities of the East ravaged by floods, trucks display streamers showing the Friendship Train when the products being distributed do not come at all from across the At lantic. It's swindle Undoubted- ly the organization of the spectac- ular caravan which crossed France cost more than all the food it transported. Soon it will be im- possible to buy a thing without it's bearing the inscription Made in America or Gift of the Good MT. Truman'.'
 Despite Humanite's charges, how ever, the food delivered by trucks to Metz, Nancy, and the flooded cities of Eastern France actually did come from the Friendship Train. It was delivered there when these cities food supply was cut by flood and what irked the Communists was that two Ameri- can women, Rose Dolan and Eliz- abeth Adams, also accompanied the trucks with the Friendship posters on them to make sure the local people knew where the food came from. The grateful people awarded these ladies the Gold Medal of Metz in appreciation.
 Hitherto, of course, it was only
