only against the white man, but
against all Of the people. Murderous
raids. ad inf1nitum. have proved to
many Wet Namese that there Is
something wrong with this Ho brand
Of nationalism.
AS for the progress made in the
military field, there now are more
Indo-C Chinese fighting against the
Communists than are fighting for the
Communists. This was not true 18
months ago. It was the stern warning
of the North Koreans invasion Of
South Korea that Spurred the French
to train an army of local soldiers
to protect their own land. Not many
years ago this seemed all but hope
less. because the people didn't think
enough of the French to fight on
their side. Turning over more and
more local autonomy, however. has
helped to overcome this lethargy.
Cooperation from the heads of the
three states also has been a big
factor. of course.
Three National Armies
Each of the three mdo-C Chinese
states are organizing national armies.
Wet Nam, where most of the fighting
against Ho has been going on, now
has an army of $4,000 regulars and
$4,000 irregulars (rough1y analogous
to our National Guard). Cambodia

wife and two children who made
5000 year in 1910 had to make
$9,400 in 1850 to maintain the same
standard of living, and that the man
who made $4,000 in 1910 had to
make $4,000 in 1850 just to stand
still. The comparative earnings
would have to be even higher for
1852"
The Average Worker
Much further down the scale, an
average" worker in New York with
an average" wage of $3,722 strug-
giles with problems largely similar
to those of the $4,000 man, minus
the social obligations. He pays
$43.55 month rent for a fourth
floor fiat, and his wife bakes to help
keep down the food bills. They
economic strictly on such items as
meat and butter and buy as little
clothing as possible for themselves
and their two children.
This average family has washing
machine and televiSion set. Tele-
vision is almost the sole source of
amusement. Constantly pressed for
cash. this family cuts corners as
much as possible and keeps hoping
prices will come down.
Is it correct then to assume that
the Nation is heading into a de-
preston, since, as the CIO charges,
business won't trim prices to produce
lower profit margins per unit, and
Congress has shown disregard for
price controls? Will the end of de-
tense spending pull the prop from
under the entire setup?
All economists don't share these
fears. The more optimistic point
out that from the bitter experiences
of the 1929 collapse the United
States learned several lessons and is

The Government acted in this sit

regions as surplus manpower areas.
Under former Defense Mobilizer
Charles E. Wilson efforts were made
to funnel defense production con-
tracts to the communities affected.
Meanwhile, economic pressures con-
tinue to mount against those trying
to live on fixed incomes during an
era of imitation. And such pressures
are distributed at widely separated
income levels.

that we are really cultured after all,
the biggest information agency in the
world, Hollywood, has been exporting
films that seem to demonstrate the
opposite"
Norman Cousins, editor of the
Saturday Review of Literature, Is
one of Hollywood's leading foes.
He has pointed out that Russia. in
order to split off public opinion from
us, was trying to picture us as
selfish, degenerate, depraved, ruth
less, acquisitive, anti-humanitarian
and anti-cultural. 1t is doubtful"
he continued, whether anything
under way or contemplated by Soviet
propagandisGs is as widespread or
effective in creating these impress
Sions as our own films"
His attack was Immediately an
Swered by Eric Johnston. who
claimed that Hollywood's wide va
riety of films provided balanced
impression of our country:
To-day, foreign audiences are get
ting balanced diet of American
pictures. America is vast mosaic
of personalities, communities. geo.
graphy, background and habit. Our
pictures reflect them all"
Far from increasing tensions be-
tween us and the rest of the world,
MIR. Johnston contended that show
ing off our prosperity would en-
courGge other countries to raise
their own standards of living.
A check with Timothy Clagett, an
other Motion Picture Association Off
cial, disclosed that no Government
agency or department has made any
move to put pressure on movie pro-
ducers to restrain the free flow of
films overseas. He said Hollywood
is trying to police its own films to
avoid attending the sensibilities of
foreigners, holding back voluntarily
many prewar films of inferior quality.
Russien Competition
Russia, meanwhile, is making a Sc
rious play for world opinion through
the movie medium by building UP its
own and its satellites industries and
by establishing such film centers as
the Karlsbad Film Festival.
The intrusion of Stalin's fine hand
into the foreign movie field makes it
doubly urgent that the various Amer
lean viewpoints be reconciled into a
co-ordinated program which will give
the people of the world the most
truthful impression of life In these
United States. All hands agree that
balanced picture of America could
not fail to win friends and influence
people abroad. These same people
are convinced that Stain cannot say
the same.
The problem Is for Americans to
agree on definition for balanced"

and research. '"There will be an in
creasing amount of goods and serv-
ices for the civilian economy If the
defense program is not stepped up.
Unless the rising volume of output
of civilian goods and services is pur-
chased. production and employment
will decline. l-ut
"It is reasonable to expect a dip in
one sector OF the civilian economy
by 1858. The post Korean high level
of business expenditures for new
plant and equipment cannot be main
tanned indefinitely. A decline in this
sector Of the economy will mean the
weakening Of previous source of
strength"
The CIO also analyzes figures in
its own specialized realm-labor and
employment-and comes up with
some facts that are disturbing. De-
spite a high level of jobs and a COR
responding decline in unemployment.
there are further signs of potential
weaknesses in the labor market.
Labor Force
Using the week Of March 2 to 8 as
an illustration, the Economic Out
look points out that although 1872
per cent of the labor force was work..
ing 35 hours or more, over Is per
cent of available man-power was en-
ployed part-time, "a hours or less.
And 3.6 per cent were listed as with

illness, layoffs or vacations. Thus.
more than Is per cent were. under
employed. while almost 3 per cent
had no work in a period of high-level
activity and defense emergency.
Many regions felt the pinch Of this
drop in jobs during the winter. This
is because unemployment tends to

in better shape now to weather an
economic blow.
To begin with, If war is averted,
military tensions ease and defense
spending is drastically curtailed,
corresponding slash in taxes would
follow inevitably. This would auto
matically free a larger share of con-
sumers' incomes.
Moreover, unlike his condition in
the 20s, the farmer is highly solvent
now. If recession sets in he has
Government price supports to pro-
tect his income.
The urban worker has jobless pay
and social security to help him in a
pinch. Federal deposit insurance
guarantees bank deposits. In these
and many other ways the United
States has braced it's economic de-
.fenSes.
Pump Priming
In addition, if further pump prim-
ing should be needed, there are
domestic fields where it could be en-
ployed advantageously. Economists
agree there is need for more hous-
ing, schools, roads and other projects
of benefit to large cross sections of
the population.
There is still great backlog of
demand for housing" the CIO Out
look said. especially in low and
middle income families whose finan-.
cial conditions make it impossi-
BILE for them to buy high-cost homes
or to pay inflated rents. An effective
Government low-cost housing pro-
gram and the construction of housing
units to meet the needs of middle
income families-with the goal of an
annual rate of 50 million housing
starts-can help to maintain high
levels of general production and en-
ployment.'

In contrast to last January'S brood
ing notices about huge Chinese Com
munist troop concentrations on the
Indo-Chinese border, recent reports
from Southeast Asia have a Strikingly
optimistic tone.
Last week in Singapore, Jean Le-
tourneau, French Resident Minister
for the Associated States of Indo-
China, reported happily that the
United States was taking over more
OF the military aid load, increasing
its contributions from one-third to
40 per cent of the total. In broad
cast over the Malaga radio the same
day he said that Wet Nam. one of the
three states which now make up the
area formerly known as French Indo-
China. had national army on the
way. Four divisions already are in
being, and there will be six by the
end Of the year, he said. Considering
that 18 months ago Wet Nam had no
army at all, this is a significant gain.
Last month. while M. Letourneau
was in Washington, Secretary of State
AcheSon told a press conference that
"the tide is now moving in our favor"
in Indo- China.
The basis for this estimate is not
only military. but political as well.
Frances stock has gone up recently
in the three Indo-Chinese states Of
Laos. Cambodia and Wet Nam. The
French had got off to bad start in
1916 when they delayed giving these
people complete independence rather
than turn over the leadership of the
nationalist movement to Ho Chi
Mimi, MoScow-trained Communist
who now heads the hostile Wet Mimi
guerrillas. The Indo-C Chinese wanted
freedom and didn't much care who
led them to it.
But the French decided to hold off
Communist nationalism on the one
hand while preparing more moder-
ate democratic kind of nationalist
leadership to take over. The bitter
struggle to hold of Ho Chi Mini has
been getting all the headlines. Mean
while, the French have been turning
over more and more of the civil
leadership to the three states them
selves. And, in the long run, this
gradual pulling OUT by the French
may have as important an effect on
the situation in Indo-Chin as the
military effort.
Political Reorientotion
The facts of life as an independent
state are slowly sinking in. AS the
number of Frenchmen In administra-
tive positions has shrunk from 1000
to 1000, native leaders have taken
over. It is now up to one of the prom
inent men in the village to collect the
taxes, and handle most of the other
disagreeable jobs of government that
used to fall to the French. 1t is
dawning on the rank and file that
the colonial powers did perform
q few necessary functions.
With this realization that the
French may be sincere is coming
the proef-from Ho himself-that
Communist leadership of nationalist
movements is not all blessing, and
certainly not 100 per cent sincere.

Mr. Dooey Had Abiding Faith in the |nquiy Of Politicians

The little store-front at 9OO9

shuttered and silent for many years.

through the narrow barroom long
ago. Many summers have passed
since the last beer shell. hurled in

grave.
But in another sense, Mr.. Dooley
Is not dead-nor will he die as long
as politicians hold forth as politicians
are doing in Mr.. Dooley's town this
month.
A bit Of Mr.. Dooley's immortality
has brushed off on mere man, Fin
ley Peter Dunno, who was born in
Mr.. Dooley's Chicago IS years ago
last week. Mr.. Dunno died in 1886.
And by the time of his death there
was considerable doubt about who
had created whom.
1t is truly shame that the Messrs.
Dooley and Dunno will not be in Chi
cago this week. Politics was Mr..
Dooleys bread and meat. 1t affected
him exactly as the strong drink he
sold affected his faithful-if not too
acute-customer Hennessy.

Red Union Reluctant
More significantly, only two per cent
of the Communist workers at the
great Renault automotive plants laid
down their tools out of sympathy for
their marching brethren, despite the
efforts of special Red "goon squads"
to halt production. The Renault
workers are considered solidly Red.
However, of late, the Confederation

belief that politics is immutable.
Both beliefs may be true; az any
rate, many of the things Mr.. Dooley
said so years ago are sharply appro-
pirate today.
Starting with the premise that 9TH
paramount issue f'r our side is tn
wan tn other side doesn't like to
have mentioned" Mr.. Dooley was led
to the conclusion that "a vote on tn
tallysheet is worth two in tn box"
The period just before and after
the turn Of the century was long dry
spell for Democrats, Just as the last
two decades have been for Repub-
licans. Mr.. Dooley had no difficulty
assaying the equities and finding the
reason for the drought. 'Th' DIM

McKinley-he looked almost equally
askance at the men who followed
