Never quite got the hang of how
to play chess myself, but I'll say
this for the game-it started one
of the strongest friendships l
know of: between Dad Wilson in
our town and a fellow in Sudbury,
England.
The two of them have never met
or seen each other-but for eight
or nine years they've been playing
chess by mail together. Dad puz-
zles over the Englishman's latest
letter, takes couple of days to
think it over, and then airmails
chart of his next move.

The traditional policy of treating
the Negro in the armed services as
little more than a day laborer in
uniform stems, in large measure,
from prejudice. However, many
fair-minded officers oppos a
change in the policy on the ground
that indignation of Negroes into
combat units would reduce eff
cheney. The officers argued that
Negroes could not qualify for duty
in the more skilled grades of mill
taryy service. They recognized the
justice of the Negroes claims to
equal treatment. but insis d
their first duty was to maintain the
morale of the armed services. AS
a result, equality of treatment did
not make Roadway until the serv-
ice commands were convinced: 1.
that Negroes had made great
strides in education in the last 20
years; 2. that keeping them out of
the more skilled branches Of the
service was a waste of manpower.
That Negroes and whites can work
together without serious friction is
being proved by experience.
Although the armed services came
in for criticism because of dis
elimination as early as the first
World War, it was not until the
passage of the first selective-drafi
act in 1910 that a policy OF no dis
elimination was laid down Off

up a quota under which Negroes
could not exceed 10 per cent of the
total strength. In the midst of this
foot-dragging. on July 26, 1913,
President Truman issued an execu-
tive order proclaiming the policy of
full equality of treatment. The
President set up committee,
under the craftsmanship of Charles
Fahy, now judge of the U. S.
Court of Appeals, to survey the
armed forces and recommend ways
to put the policy into effect. In the
end. most of the recommendation
were accepted by the services.

RIGHT DOWN THE LINE

At a meeting in Washington, authorita-
tive spokesmen for retailing formally pro-
tested against certain Office of Price Stabili-
zatiOn policies and orders. High on the list
of opposed policies were those which threat
en- to force retailers to absorb manufactur-
ers' price increases, even to the point where
many stores could not stay in business, and
those which do not make proper allowance
for rising retail sales expenses. Retailing is
net fighting OPS in its efforts to do some
thing about price initiation. 1t has promised
and given it's full cOOperatiOn-and it was
carrying on highly-impOrtan anti-infatiOn
program of it sOwn before OPS was created.
But, retailing is-and properly-fghting
hard against manifest injustices and ineQUi-
ties. 1t is granted that OPS has a tough Job
and that mistakes will be made. But the
principal objective of this bureau, and all
other agencies of the government which are
involved in any way with the initiation prob
lem, must be to see that all segments of the
economy share the burdens of price control
equitably. The retailers gets much of the
blame for high prices for the simple. reason
that he sells the consumers their goods and
takes their money. A good many people
think that If the retailer rode horse he'd
be right in the same league with Jesse James.
But the cold statistical fact is that the re-
taller makes but a very small percentage
profit on each saie-much smaller than most
of us seem to realize. 1t is also true that, in
many cases, higher retail prices actually
result in smaller net profit to the retailer.
Price control is no fun for anyone. But, so
long as we have it, it must 20 right down
the line and treat all alike.

COAL no NEWCASTLE

The United States exported more than
100000 tons of soft coal to 26 nations in
Europe, Asia and South America in the
single month of February. Great Britain
was the largest foreign purchaser. It is au-
thOritatively forecast that during the next
few years exports of coal will continue to
run at substantial level. This is indicative
Of the marked changes that have taken place
in the world coal situation. At one time,
England was the biggest exporter, and for
a great many years her production was far
in excess of her own domestic needs. But now
a scarcity Of coal is a major headache in
England, so she, in company with many
other nations, looks to Americas mines to
make up the lack. Various factors have been
responsible for this And one Of the most
important has been the socialization ~ in
whole OF part-of the coal industry in Eng
land and much Of Europe The production
goals which were set by the government
bureaus IN charge of coal have not been met.

PLANNED INFLATION

Most of us tend to shy away from discus
siOns of initiation by economists. They are
apt to be lengthy, technical and, to the lay
man, hOpelessly involved. However, an out
standing banker recently gave a general de-
scription of the causes of initiation in words
which anyone can understand. Here's what
he said: Imitation was brought about in
this country as matter of deliberate gov
ernment policy over a period of almost 20
years with World War II thrown in for good
measure. Almost 20 years ago during per-
lOd OF severe depression, those in charge of
our government apparently decided that the
fundamental law of supply and demand was
too slow in functiOning, and their ecOnO-
mists wrote prescription for a government
made, synthetic form of prosperity, really
infiatiOn based upon gOvernment-supplied
excess of purchasing power and govern
ment-created short supply of commodities
Such program obviously required money,
and lots of it. The government does not pro-
duce WEALTH. consumes wealth. q. So
the government embarked upon the policy
of taking tax money from those who had
something and pillng up government indebt-
edness and spreading the money around in
the form Of dOles, subsidies, parity pay
ments, price support programs, and other
such devices among people who would i'm
mediately spend it. Thus there was created
the doctrine that the way for people to get
along in this world was to get more and more
for doing less and less. This was man-made,
synthetic, artifcially-inseminated imitation,
manufactured to order and found for some
years to be politically quite profitable" There
are the roots of our initiation, from which
today's towering plant has grown. 1t is just
one more sorry example Of the fact that when
government attempts to repeal" a natural
economic law, everyone is hurt in the long
run.
