tinuatton Of the replenishment pro-
cess in durable lines.
The inventory increase in the
four months ended December 1852
added $2.1 billion to total business
holdings, raising them to an all
time high of almost SIS billion. Last
falls increase did not appear ex-
cessive; it was considerably less
than in the record year following
the outbreak OF war in Korea. AS
in the earlier post-Korean period,
increased inventory buying was
prompted by unusual circumstan-
ces. The nations economic machine
was in high gear. Heavy industry,
though partially crippled by the
steel strike, wanted to stay in high
gear. Producers had a substantial
defense program to support. The
needs of an expanding civilian eco
nOmy were far from incOnsequen-
tial. Retailers, conscious of the
approach of the fall season with
its not too distant Christmas peak,
had little choice in the matter
either Thus, the die was cast for
a prompt rebuilding of inventories
at both levels but with maximum
emphasis on durable goods.
Stepped-up purchasing for inven-
tory was initiated by steel-starved
producers of durable goods as soon
as the steel strike was settled.
While new supplies of raw materi-
ais had remained virtually cut off,
they had been straining to meet
both military and civilian demands.
In so doing, they had drawn down
their holdings of purchased materi-

erations. Consequently, with so

STATEMENTS BY RELIGIOUS LEADERS
FOR UNITED NATIONS DAY = OCTOBER ID
The United States & the United Nations
by Bishop William c. Martin, President
National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA

When the United Nations was
established in San Francisco there
was great rejoicing in the United
States. There were prayers of
thanksgiving and church bells
were rung. Expectations and hope
for the new organization ran high.
Eight years have passed. The
peace and security which some
people thought the UN would
bring have not come. Some have
become disillusioned with the
world organization. But the ma
jority of people in our churches
still support the UN as an instru-
ment for international cooperation
and peaceful change. Their sup
port today has quality of depth
and realism it did not h ave in
1915. 1t has been chastened by
the anxieties and responsibilities
of a tragically divided world and
strengthened by achievements
made through the UN.
The UN is meeting place
where member states can discuss
their differences, a forum where
they can grapple with the prob
lens of war and peace, tyranny
and freedom. We know that the
UN can succeed only when the
disputing nations are willing to
pay the price of settling their diff
ferences in a spirit of mutual con-
sideration.
Today the United Nations needs
the UN and the UN needs the
United States. We pray that our
country will continue to make its
major foreign policy decisions in
concert with other nations, &C.
cepting with good grace the crit.
cism and restraint that genuine
partnership always carries with it

State Departments interest in re-
vising the UN Charter.
The Korean truce means that
the UN successfully repealed the
aggression of the North Koreans.
This brings with it new problems,
however. Will the governments of
the world and their peoples show;
the patience, wisdom and under>
standing needed to conclude peace
in the Orient?
The death of Stain seems to
have been followed by a change
of emphasis in Russian strategy.
The Soviet "peace offensive" has
been launched. In the new phase
of the cold war, the United Ma
tions organization and agencies
will be increasingly important.
Russian statements that they
have the atom and hydrogen
bombs present to the UN it's
greatest challenge. Since both the
United States and Russia may
have these devastating weapons
ready for possible use, there seem
to be few feasible alternatives to
UN control or boundless destruc-
ton.

Gently called for widespread dis
cussion of possible revision of the
UN Charter. Obviously both the
questions of the big-power veto
and that of the relationship of
the Security Council to the Cen
eral Assembly are to be re-axam-,
ined. There are no easy solutions
In this year of the Korean
truce, the death of Stain, super
