Wool production, according to the
bureau, was slightly higher through
out the United States last year than
In l949. The average price in the
United States was 57.3 cents for
shorn wool, as compared to 49.4
cents in 1949 and the last 10-year
average of 38.5 cents. The 1850 av-

This is the report from the USDA
bureau of agricultural economies at

used for milk production. Heifers
between l and 2 years old were up
1,666,OO0. Range calves were I'D
around 100000 in numbers and

Production in Pennsylvania man.
Ufacturing plants was unchanged in
February, but employment rose,
with both durabTes and non6urables
sharing in the gain. Although the
number of workers increased, total
payrOlls remained the same due to
a fractional decline in the work
week and the failure, for the first
time in a year, of hourly earnings
to rise. In year-agO comparisons,
the heavy industries continued to
be the principal areas Of strength.
Contract awards failed to show any
change in February. Increases in
residential, and public works and
utilities awards were offset by de-
clines in nonresidential contracts.
Consumer prices in Philadelphia
advanced again in February. The
greatest rise occurred in the cost
OF miscellaneous items where an
important element was the increase
in transit rates. Local families
were paying 10 per cent more for
cost-of-living items than they were
a year ago and consumer prices for
the nation were up II per cent
from 1850.

ALONG THE STRAIGHT
AND MARROW PATH

More than 40 years ago the U. S.
Press Association and the National
Industries News Service were es-
tablished, and a few years later we
were able to raise the claim at our
masthead that it is "The Nation s
Leading Weekly Letter"
We have never strayed from the
straight and honest path in record
ing the record of events down
through the years. But at the same
time we never have published d
line in favor of liquor, tobacco or
OF human beings who have tried to
lower the standard of the American
Nation. The Service is tops because
1t has never knowingly, told a lie
to the people. Maybe we have been
too orthodox at times. We have re-
GREETED time and time again that
we could not endorse President
truman and we have also regrett-
ed that we could h)t go along with
him in his wild and reckless schem-
es, because he lowered the stand
ards of the Federal Government.
While at the same time most of his
foreign policy was weak, STUPID.
and not in the best interests of the
Nation, or the World at
large. So, today after 90 years the
National Industries News Service
and the U. S. Press Association is
proud to raise its head and shout
from the hOusetOps:
WE HAVE ALWAYS KEPT
THE FAITH" And so WE STILL
GO MARCHING ON, telling the
truth and never find it necessary
to explain. At the end of 40 years
we have been approached bv
people who want to buy out this
great syndicate. There has been no
sale because there will be no sale
until purchaser may show up who
will convince us that the standards
we raised will not be lowered.
The last 40 years have been
tragic periods in the history of the
Nation. Sad to relate that while the

A less active rate Of consumer
buying was apparent in February.
Although above a year earlier. adj
justed department store sales de-
clined from the new peak reached
in January. Apparel made substan-
tial year-ago gains but sales of
house furnishings slackened notice
ably. At the same time business
was declining, inventories were ris-
ing. Consequently, the ratio Of
stocks to sales at the end Of the
month was greater than that Of
last year.
In the first 10 weeks of 1861 bus-
mess loans at reporting member
banks in the Third District rose IA
per rent, as compared to a gain of
I per cent in the same period last
year. For the country as a whole
the increase of more than 2 mar
cent contrasted to small decline
curing the corresponding period Of
1850. Real estate and consumer
loans showed little change.

seated-he simply has been unable
to keep firm hold on his Job. And
Congress has flopped around in one
muddle after another. Scandals
seem to turn up almost anywhere
the surface is scratched in Wash
ingtOn. In short, the President does
not live up to the job of being the
ruler of the Nation. And Congress
is usually spoken of as "Out of
hand" The President is only nom
inally in charge.
The cost of living has risen 85%
above what it was in 1940-and the
best students Of public affairs say
it is tougher now to make a living
than at any time within the history
OF the present generation. Tax in
creases continue. Millions of human
beings face the certainty of further
tax increases within a matter of
only a few months. Corporation
taxes continue to increase. Presi-
dent Truman seems to have found
1t rather easy to ask Congress for
lO billion dollars in a single bite.
In the wind up our great and wo-
nderful Nation has landed in a
sort of failure because it has not
upheld what we have called De-
mocraCy and human liberty for
more than a quarter of a century.

few weeks later. At other times, close to two years
have passed before stocks have taken a tumble.
The reasons for this not hard to find AS bond
prices fall, the yield therefrom rises and narrows
the gap between the return bonds and the in
come from stocks. If the old relationship between
the two is to be re-established stock prices must
decline. Only during periods Of feverish speculative
activity are buyers willing to overlook the need for
getting considerably bigger income from stocks as
compared to bonds, to pay them back" for the
greater risk that stocks carry
DIFFERENT THIS TIME"
However, some of my friends tell me that it is
going to be different this time! They point out
that the spread between stock and bond yields even
after the recent rise in the latter is much greater
than usually exists. Therefore then say, the re-
turn on bonds could rise quite bit higher without
greatly disturbing stock prices They also cite the
fact that very few stocks being carried on bor
Tpwed money and that higher interest rates will not
cause any amount of selling on that score

ADVICE ON BONDS
My father told me years ago, Never send boy

no ALTERNATIVE

We're all in much the same boat when
it comes to initiation and high prices-and
that goes for businesses as well as indiVid-
uals. All of us, naturally, would like to have
our incomes and earnings steadily mount
while the cost of the goods and services we
must buy remain static-bUt that is an eco
nOmic impOssibility. A good example of this
is found in the railroads recent application
to the Interstate Commerce Commission for
a moderate increase in freight rates. The
railroads didn't ask this just because it
would be pleasant to earn more money. They
asked it because the trend of the times has
left them with no alternative. This year,
it will take about 1922, 100000 more to Oper-
ate the railroads than it did in 1949, when
the last rate increase was granted. Increases
in wages account for 138,500,OO0 of this
amount and higher costs for fuel materials
and supplies account for the balance. To
put the railroad situation another way, the
rate of return on railroad net investment
in 1851 will be only about 1886 per cent at
present rates and charges. And even with
the rate increase of six per cent which the
lines have asked, the return would only
amount to AT per cent if it were in effect
for the full year which, of course, it cannot
be, as a substantial part of the year has
already passed. Moreover, the railroads are
now facing the prospect of further substan-
tlal increases in wage and material costs.
above and beyond those which have already
occurred. In sum, the railroads are asking
Tor only enough additional revenue to per-
init them to operate efficiently to carry on
the $l,000,000, 0,000-a-year expansion pro-
gram which is necessary to the peace and
defense needs Of the nation, and to earn a
very reasonable profit on their huge invest
ment. 1t is difficult to see how anyone can
