make itself felt this winter, but
these experts. especially in their
public statements, have habit Of
painting a picture blacker than it is.
The entire economy of the two zones
Is still going through the first phase
after the introduction of new money,
characterized by high initial ve-
locity." Full shops were responsible
for enthusiastic optimism and re-
serves were suddenly revealed suf-
flcient to create an initial cover Of
goods. If the start succeeded, 1t was
largely due to limitation of purchas-
ing power. The reserves which came
to the surface in June have now
been largely consumed and further
development will depend on the de-
gree to which Marshall aid will be
able to close the gaps.
Coal Production Up
There is no lack of signs point
ing at a genuine" prosperity, not
the result of dehoarding accumu-
lated stocks but of production in
crease and greater yields of German
labor. Coal and steel, two key fac
tors in West German recovery. are
pointing the way.
Hard coal production in the Brit
ish zone reached 100000 tons In
September as against 6,260, 900 tons
during the same period in 1947. Pro-
duction is still short of the 1886
monthly average (s,740,000 tons)
but the goal set for 1949 is a daily
average of $4,000 tons. With their
daily average of 290,76s in Septem-
ber, Ruhr miners are much nearer
to it than they we're. DR.. Kost, Ger
man head of the coal-mining ad-
ministration, stated recently that
under present conditions a daily
$4,000 tons could be achieved. This
would correspond to Is tons per
miner per shift as against 1913
achieved during September.
Crude steel and pig iron produc-
ton show a more encouraging pic
ture. In September, production of
crude steel ingots rose to ST., ,769
tons as against 0e,s7s in August
and $4,000 tons in July. Monthly
averages for 1947 and 1916 were
246, 1000 and 2o7 900 tons, respectively.
Nearly half the monthly average
for 1916 d,1s6,oo0 tons) has now
been reached. Pig iron rose from
1000 tons in July to 46s, 1888 tons
in September, nearly half Of the
monthly average of 1,017,000 tons
for 1885. Production of steal ingots
rose beyond the target figures for
August and September, 1913. Brit
ish and American military govern
ment plans require steel production
in Bizonia to be pushed up to be-
tween S,O00,ooo and $500, GOO tons in
i949-50.
Industries Improve
Industrial production In Bizonia
as whole has participated in this
recovery. From July's 90 per cent
of the monthly average for the key
year 1886, it rose to. 81 per cent in
August, 1913. This figure shows
perhaps better than any other the
increasing progress made since the
currency reform. Immediately after
the reform, the index for industrial
production had been in the neigh

It has crippled the country's econ
omy, postponing indefinitely an am
bilious program of economic re-
forms which, if carried out, would
modernize Turkeys agriculture, de-
velop its rich natural resources and
establish thriving industries.
Turkey has genuine possibilities.
It's 100000 square miles of territory,
large as the combined areas of Tex
as and Louisiana, have many fertile
areas, considerable water power and
a variety of minerals including coal.
Scientifically exploited, these nat
ural advantages could transform
Turkey into prosperous land sup
porting at least twice it's present
population. Yet Turkey remains
economically poor and backward,
despite the truly heroic efforts made
by its leaders ever since the estab-
lishment of the republic quarter
century ago. That Turkey, with all
its handicaps, stands where it is to-
day. the political and strategic key
stone of the Middle East, the one
solid and reliable factor in q region
elsewhere weak and unstable, is due
primarily to the character of its
people as well as to the ability of its
statesmen.
First War Ruined Empire
The Turkish Republic is an ex-
phenomenon. It rose,
like the tabled phoenix,
from the ashes Of the old Ottoman
Empire, an antiquated Oriental des-
potism which, for generations, had
been stricken with Incompetence
and decrepitude. The once-vast pos

IN MEMORIAM

In memory of our dear sister, Car
rie Dutton, who passed away April
II, 1947.
We sorry not as those who have
no hope
There are some things for life to
cherish ever
Something immortal from it's
strain and stress
Something to rest the heart on,
That no change can sever
Nor silence sheathe us with for
getfulness.
A hand clasp that once held our
own securely,
A muted note in some remem-
bered strain,
That phantom of a dream we know
full surely,
We shall not hope to find on earth
again.
Brave fragments from the wealth
of full years gathered
The priceless fragments of those
richer years,
BY memory rescued and affection
gathered,
We lay them in lavender and in
tears.
We lay them by in fragment
phantom sheeting
With lavender to blunt the breath
of rue,
And sometimes, when life seems
too hard,
We give them greeting, and know
that memory is a possession too.

changes have taken place in the field Of Labor

have been made the subject Of close governmental

seriously eurtailed completely abrogated. In
addition. the obstacles placed in the way Of grie-

have tended to stall such processes for weeks and
