|ceIondic Sheet Metal Workers on Tou,
OfU.S. Study Methods in Area Plants

A quartet Of Icelanders has
been taking a long look at Wash
ington area sheet metal working
plants.
The four. Thordur Svein-
bjornsson, Oddur Gudmundsson,
Sigurdour R. Gudbrandsson, and
Jon T. Sveinbjornsson, are sheet
metal workers from Reykjavik,
the capital of their North AT
lantic island republic. They are
in their early 30s.
They were brought to this
country two weeks ago by the
Foreign Operations Administra-
ton for three months tour of
industries related to their trade.
The program has the dual aim
of building up Iceland's defense
potential and contributing
toward the long-range economic
health of the rugged Kentucky
sized island.
H'Ogram Outlined.
FOA spokesman put it this
way: A great deal of work re-
mains to be done on North At
lantic Treaty Organization air
bases in Iceland. BY using Ice
landic labor and contractors con-
siderable expense can be avoided
while at the same time training
the local population in jobs
which might prove vital in time
of war.
The four sheet metal workers
say their countrymen go along
with the idea in the hope that
the training will enable them
to modernize Anticipated produc-
ton methods and thus widen
the base of the Icelandic econ
omy.

brings 1000 key men from more
than 60 nations to this country

New York Cotton

NEW YORK. Mar. 3 L1.-Cotton fu-
lures prices declined sharply this week.
Active futures contracts traded on the
New York Cotton Exchange took net
losses which ranged from $500 to S4.O5
q bale.
The list was under heavy selling
pressure from the start, weakness was
notably LIQUIDATION in the distant de-
livery months and selling by foreign
interests.
Heavy LIQUIDATION by foreign traders
was said to reflect growing BELIEF over
seas that the United States might adopt
a two-price system Zone price for cotton
bought in the domestic market and
lower price for cotton shipped abroad.
or set up a system of export subsidies.
no export subsidies are planned for the
current crop year. It was pointed out,
but he has not ruled out that posi-
bility for the 1866 season.
Weakness of futures contracts was
also ascribed to slow business in tex
tiles and reports of increased produc-
ton of raw cotton In Mexico and
PakiStan.

address at Kansas City, Mo.
He said 1854 net income of
$12O, 068, 374 or 1882 a share was
about the same as in 1858 but

the company acquires land, con-
structs all improvements. sells
the completed property to an
investor and takes back q long
term lease.
He said it takes about two
years from the time a stores
site is acquired to the time it is
opened for business. The COM
pany is building around 100 to
125 new stores a year at an
average cost of $3.50, 900 for each
store. he added.
Safeway reduced its borrow
ings by $40 million during 1854
despite a sos million increase in
inventories and a SIS million
increase in properties held for

Consider Conservation Week

Examples are not difficult to locate
The hot breaths of dry wind has
blasted parts of the great plains. To-
day we are in portions of America
faced again with the blight of drouth,
just as we were in the 1920's and early
1905. Where the pillow opened up
the earth and it was not carefully
tended the dust bowl formed It is
forming again. So the federal govern
ment determines to loan money to
farmers for drought-disaster relief.
Recently in Washington it was devel-
oped that Secretary of Agriculture
Benson had raised the interest rate on
such loans from to per cent
1t seems plain that where salvation
of a drought-stricken area is con-
cerned there should be no interest
rate. The government should do the
job, not only for today but for pos
terity. That would be conservation,
but it gets in the way of profit and the
Big Men now running Washington
won't have it.
And then we have the sad picture of
Gov. Hugo Aronson promulgating an
official pronunciamento about con-
this same Aronson person
who is SO eager to give away the state
All me, let us hope that we start
to practise conservation before the
resources are all lost.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1955-05-06

1t would perhaps not be difficult
to salvage most, if not all, of these re
sources that remain in America, but
for the fact that the same threat to
them still exists which in the past has
so despoiled these natural resources.
[ refer, of course, to mankind.
The birds, the fishes and the ami
mails that inhabited America did not
injure these natural resources. Neither
did insects or the aboriginal redmen.
The continent was vast forest along
both coastal plains and the area be-
tween-the great plains-was vast
meadow of grasses, before the in
vasion of the white man. With this in
vasion of virgin continent, the first
to lose were the indigenous tribesmen.
Cortez and his conquistadors plumb
cred and murdered the Aztecs in Mex
leo. The treasure there was riches in
metals. Similarly, the wave of white
men slushed westward from the At
lantic coastline, taking from the In
resources of the land. Finally the wave
reached the Pacific coast and every
where the Indians were lost, the buff
falo were exterminated, the forests
fell to clearings that became fields,
that became giant agricultural produc-
ton engines.
Factories were built and their refuse,
together with the refuse of con-
quering race of white men, spilled into
