Whether your fall hat Is fashioned OF

Elegance will be achieved by subtle

Speculation?
Cincinnati Enquirerl

tClnclnnatl EnqurerD In any period of soaring living costs there is a tendency rather normal one to look for scapegoats
 is in the of the plain citizen to assume that some nefarous persons responsible for the upward spiral of prices And it hard for politicians to sst the temptation to focus the responsibility on alleged mischief makers outside their own ranks
 That is why we hearing much, just now about the iniques of speculatonn grains and other foodstuffs It is entirely possible of course, that some individuals have enriched themselves by specu- lative operations in the commodity markets Some, indeed, may have done this with information they obtained improperly. And there may be some cases that call for punishment.
 But for the most part the trading in commodities serves a useful purpose. It tends to level out the prices of commodities which produced seasonally but consumed throughout the year If some spec lators make money it is chiefly money taken from
 other spectators who less acute or less fortunate
 There is one particular form of trading, in grains and ether like commodities, which should keep entirely separate his thinking this problem That is the trading futures by which procesors of grains CT such goods protect themselves against price changes When they buy sell futures in wheat, for example, they not gambling. They are simply protecting themselves from the gamble they would take in the ordinary course of business if they did not trade in futures.
 This is known to economists hedging It is the very opposite of speculation It gives stability to business such as flour milling, that otherwise would he colossal gamble. But it always takes two to make q bargain And unless there were "specuators men who are willing to take the risks of the market in the hope profit-it would be impossible for proc essors to hedge.
 This is one of the roundabout ways in which commodity speculation serves the general welfare It
 transfers the risk entailed in changes from food processors to professional tradersspeculators From the point of view of the general public that is just as sound and constructive the institution of fire in- surance in which the individual householder or busl- nessman transfers his ire FISK to proesSoha Iloh +ake insurance company.
 While a price-conscious country IS searching eagerly for whipping boy, therefore, we ought to be careful to distinguish the various sorts of persons and corporations that engage in commodity trading The malefactors, if any, are minute pro- nortion of all those who trade on the commodity exchanges

SPECIAL SESSION

The Governor feels that there is no question about the fact that Territorial funds in desperate condition with the shortage particularly damaging to the programs for education. health, pensions and veterans.
 Yet .he states repeatedly that he will not call special session of the Legislature since the same Leg sature will be back
 The law clearly states the Governors responsibility The Organic Act says:
 "T'he Governor of Alaska is hereby authorized to convene the Legislature in extraordinary session when any public danger necessity may require It.
 The Governors duty and responsibility here is to decide only if there is any necessity for special session and if there is to call the Legislature in extraordinary session.
 He apparently made up his mind some time ago that there is such necessity But this is too good a chance for our good Governor to take trip around the Territory and make speeches intended to punish certain members of the last Legislature. He is an extremely clever master politician and you can't expect him to miss the boat this occasion.
 But as we have pointed out, if conditions are as bad as he thinks then his responsibility under the law to call legislators together for an extraordinary session.
 Once he has issued that call and presented what

BATTLE-GROUND FOR
 CENTURIES

Udine-We are now up few kilometers from Yugoslav border in country that has been fought over for centuries by Austrians, Slavs and even back to the days of Romans. Train has just passed the Piave River, where rusted cars from World War I are still lying in river bed. It was in battle of the Piave that Italians and Ameri- can troops fought side by side against the Austrians.
 Three bands were at Udine rail- road station and tremendous crowd A little boys band had Geen practicing for three weeks fGi' trains arrival. The cymbalist was so small and played so long that toward the end he could hardly hold up the cymbals. Girls in costume sang for us on the station platform and later the mayor insisted we come up to the city hall, where huge crowd was gathered in square outside. There were more speeches, more music and more singing
 Hospital here was bombed bye Americans but everyone hastens to explain that of course it was an accident.
 When we left trucks were back ed up alongside five boxcarS we dropped off at Udine, already un- loading food for the hospital and orphanages. Five European box cars is small considering the unem- ployment caused by moving the Yugoslav border, but the people seemed grateful, not so much for the food but merely that we had come to Udine.

damned that we couldn't move Outside were another 10000 people. They had been waiting long time but were most orderly. The sta- ton was so packed we moved out into the square, pulled table out of the station and used 1t as speakers platform. The mayor as speakers platform. The Mayor of Trieste had come over to vel come us as well as the Cardinal of Gorizia. They all spoke, in cluding the Mayor of Gorizia. For tunately, the table was strong.
 All week I have been speaking in English, which was then trans lated. All week I had also been trying to get up my nerve to speak in Italian. At Gorizia I got up my nerve. Judging by the results I should have done it sooner.
 It was my last speech in Italy Respectfully, I am now heading for Paris. Washington and back to work.
