John c. Henry.

Russia's cold war strategists.
o versatile group. are directing
considerable attention these
days to the economic front.
The potential for trouble to
the West is a rather consider
able one, both as to the disaf-
lection which might be created
within some Of the affected
European countries and as to
the irritationS already increas-
ing between the United States
and some Of our European
associates.
Western Europe has never, Of
course, been self contained. The
raw materials essential to its
economy, either in war or peace,
have been drawn from all over
the world-from the United
States, from South America,
from colonial sources of Africa
and the Far East and from the
relatively non-industrial areas
Of Eastern Europe. In normal
times Of peace the East-West
exchange within Europe has
been a complex one basically
essential to the prosperity of
each portion of the continent.
In times of half-war, such as
today. the question of prosperity
in the usual sense becomes
clearly secondary but the ele-
ment Of essentially is not SO
easily removed.
Gradually, even though re-
luctantly in some cases, the
curtain has been lowered in
postwar years on East-WeSt
commerce in end-products or
component materials important

Inevitably the (economic)
boiler is going to explode if every
group keeps trying to get ahead
of every other and we will enter
into a mad and ruinous race to
our national economic downfall" :"
In Detroit, Walter P. Reuther,
president of the CIO United Auto
Workers, also sounded a note of
warning. He said his union did
not view continued price-wage in
creases with satisfaction, and add
ed in a statement:
"It simply reflects continued in
flation, which Congress is still un-
willing to check. The UAW-CIO
has said many times that our
workers would be far better off
with real rollback in prices, with
q corresponding rollback in the
cost-of-living factor in wage
rates"

The chain applied for the boosts
for 40 Seattle, Wash, area stores

next week with similar price boost
applications for its 1000 stores all
