Savings Down As
Living Costs Soar
Gcv'tFigures Show

Washington UPA)-We're back
where we were in 1929-at least as
far as the amount Of our earnings
that we're putting into savings.
That's the conclusion Of the Sc
curities & Exchange Commission,
in a detaile1 report on "volume and
composition Of individuals saving
in 1947," made public last week.
While, all told there was an
increase in income last year after
we paid taxes, on the whole we
saved about S. billion less than in
1916. Individuals savings in the
last quarter Of 1947 were even less
than in the previous quarter.
Debts arising from purchase Of
consumer goods increased by $1.5
billion as compared with S4O0 mil
lion for the third quarter. Mort
gage debt in the year showed a
record increase Of S3.8 billion, as
compared with $3.2 billion in 1916.
In fact, Is per cent Of the homes
purchased" in 1947 were repre-
sented by the increased mortgage
figures, rather than outright tran
sfer Of ownership.

risky. The ultimate risk is war;
and it is being talked about open
lv. The usual rumors to the effect
that this top official or that has
confidentially stated that we Will
be at war with Russia in a matter
of weeks or months, are floating
about. But, as we'll as one can judge
now, the final crisis is nowhere
near as imminent as that, and Tor
several reasons.
1t is unthinkable that this coun-
try would provoke war. And II
is pretty obvious that the Russians
co not desire war-they have been
swiftly getting what they want
without bloodshed on their side.
Those who are in the best position
to know-though the available eVl-
dence is admittedly Inadequate
still think that the Soviet Union
will not be ready for war for some
years. Her present strategy is ap-
parent-to seal up Europe so that
there will be no place for us to
fight, and to make effective opposl-
ton from peoples within Europe
impossible. She has come much
closer toward that frightening goal
than millions of US seem to realize.
The 5-power compact, signed the
same day Mr.. Truman made his
talk, and which pledges Western
European states to unite against
aggression, is one of the hearten-
ing signs. The program advocated
by the President is clearly de-
signed to implement it. Those who
believe in this program are con
vinced that the existence of a mill
tariIy powerful United States will
be as vital to European anti-Com-
munist elements as aid under ERP.
In the meantime, there is a great
deal of loose and uniformed talk
concerning atomic warfare. 1t may
be that new weapons capable OF
deciding a war practically over
night can be developed. They have
not been yet. Many military men
feel that the atomic bomb, potent
and valuable as it is, will not be a
decisive weapon and that, in the
final stages of war at least, the
classical technique of taking over
tie losing nation physically will
again be followed. Furthermore, If
the world is to be racked with war
between hemispheres, the vast dis
tances which will separate the op-
posing forces will have to be brid-
ged by planes which do not yet
exist. We have. no bomber which
can fly many thousands of miles
with a bomb and return. And no
one else has either, if the experts
are to be believed.

Equal Rights Amendment
Opposed AS Harmful

Washington, D c. QLNS)-De-
nouncing the so-called Equal Rights
Amendment as a shotgun meth
cd" of preventing discrimination
against women which would do
more harm than good, the Am
erican Civil Liberties Union lent its
support to the alternative Status
of Women Bill" in congressional
hearings. The unions statement,
presented to the House Judiciary
Committee, was signed by the
unions officers and by Judge Dor

unions Committee on Women's
Rights.
The Status of Women Bill (HR
2OO7), according to the unions
statement, offers effective means
for removing legal and administra-
tive bars to the advancement of
women, while preserving legislation
justified by genuine sex differ

commission to assure continuing
effort to remove unjustified dis
elimination against women.
