IN buying groups, it must adjust to the con-
ditions in the specific shopping area in which
u Is located. its wage scales must be COM
petitive and fair.
Second, the amount that can be spent for
payroll in any store must be related to the
volume OF business. In a small town, for ex-
ample, a salespersOn can't sell as much mer-
chandlse In given period of time as her
counterpart in a bustling big-city store. Yet
the percent of payroll cost to volume must
De relatively equal everywhere.
Third, legislatively forced increase in re-
tan operating costs, unaccOmpanied by in
creases in productivity, cannot help but raise
prices and reduce sales-at the expense of
farm and factory producers, as well as con-
sumers
Fourth, local competition between busi-
nesses OF all types in obtaining workers as
sures that wages will be fair.
Finally, the people covered by a minimum
wage are those with the fewest sl1ills and the
least experience. They are of every limited
value to the employer Thus, if the arbitrary
wage law were extended to retailing. store
operators would be forced to reduce this kind
OF employment to the bare minimum. There
would be fewer jobs open-and fewer Oppor-
sunltles for people to get the training that
leads to better-paid positions.

Roth Can't Re Rinht


In earlier times there could he
no better news, after the shooting
had stopped, than word from
Washington that our armed forces
were not only to be drastically re-
duced, but that the rate of reduc-
ton would be stepped up ahead of
the original time table. Under
present tensions, it is just plain
confusing.
Defense Secretary Charles E. Will
son, in announcing the speed-up as
shift in the Administration s
"leVelling-Off" program, and a re-
suit Of the Presidents belief that
threats of war are receding, said
the 100000 man reduction would be
accomplished a year ahead of the
original plan. Further, he an
nounced that draft calls, presently
at the rate Of $4,000 a month, will
be cut back in February to ten or
eleven thousand.
Under the new plan the total
man power Of the armed forces
will drop from the present 3,2IS, 600
to 100000 by the end of next June
and to 2,S15,000 by June 80, 1856.
The Army will cut from 1,343. 600
to 100000; the Navy from $4,000
to $4,000; the Marine Corps from
$4,000 to 10000. The Air Force. on
the other hand, will be increased
from the present 961. 900 to 975, 1000.
This Accomplishment, Mr.. Wilson
said, will leave the armed forces in
a flexible position. It was, he
thought, sound decision.
The Secretary Of State, on the
other hand, who seems to be con-
corning himself increasingly with
military matters, told his post
Paris press conference fatty that
the Kremlin's Objectives remain un-
changed and danger of war un-
diminished Mr.. Dulles said our
military cut-backs were the natural
result Of chronological advances
rather than any change in the world
outlook. It seems odd that Mr..
Wilson, who has been dealing with
chronological advances all his work
ing life-as an automOtive engineer
and executive-would leave it to
a lawyer to think of that explain
alton.
But, in case you are not inn
pressed with the Administration
view that world morals are inn
or Dulles suggestion that
we can be better defended by fewer
men, you might consider the cut

It could be intended

and which. incidentally, could pro-

Buy Red Clover Seed
Early Suggests Mr..
Claude p Phillips


Farmers needing red clover
seed should buy their supply
early, suggests Claude D. Phillips,
head Of the agrOnomy department
at the University 81 Delaware. The
current supply Of red clover seed
is about 25 percent below that OF
last year and 200 below the 1943-
So average.
Red clover seed production Ia
1854 was the smallest in twelve
years and the carry over Of seed
held by dealers and the Commodi-
ty Credit Corporation IS 2095 less
than a year ago.
Many Of the states that produce
clover seed were hit hard BY the
drought and many farmers that
normally save the second cutting
OF clover for seed were forced 10
cut the crop for hay or use 1t as
pasture
Alfalfa seed is much more Dlen-
tiful with the 1854 crop being the
second largest on record. Also.
there is q large carry over OF az
falla seed Ia dealers warehouses
and government stOrages. The
price 0f alfalfa for 1856 seedlings
should not be much different from
that Of last year.

be a death sentence to textile mills
employing a million and a quarter
Wage-e1rners, to millions Of Ameri-
can cotton farmers and to nearly all
small U. S. factories producing inn
portable commodities, according to
r. H. Jewell, of Chickamauga, Ga.
who appeared as witness for the
American Cotton Manufacturers
Institute
Mr.. Jewell pointed out that
great, super-efficient mass-pro-
ductiOn industries" such as auto
manufacturing and iron and steel,
are not on the "expandable" list, or
are very tenderly treated, and
while the big fellows are very
generally for free trade, the little
fellow in industry can not possibly
compete with imports made by labor
that is paid One-tenth or one
twelfth the American scale. Still, he
says, it is largely the products of
these small manufacturers that are
proposed for the Geneva bargaining
conference with Japan. Mr.. Jewell
wondered where the Small Business
Administration would find its loan
applicants in the future.
President Eisenhower has said
repeatedly, and with emphasis, that
his Administration and its overall
program are devoted to the best
interests of all 100 million of us
Americans. And certainly nothing
could be more at variance with this
viewpoint than the present cynical
division of American industry into
categOries Of large" and "small",
and marking the little fellows for
slaughter on the rickety altar Of a
half-baked plan for stabilizing the
world by making all the concessions
ourselves, and requiring none from
countries whose trade controls and
cartel operations are far more re-
strictive than what is left Of the
American tariff.
Even the bureaucrats must have
heard of the fable of the goose that
laid the golden egg. Why then, are
we so busily sharpening the axe for
'mmolatiOn at Geneva?
