buyers inertia into active
spending since World War II.
And the drives are Just be-
ginning; you'll be exposed TO
them on every side as spring
moves into summer.
But while a pickup In con-
sumner spending would be OF
great help TO our economy--our
spending accounts for nearly
two-thirds Of all spending in
our land, and so even a minor
increase In buying by us would
have a significant impact
you're not a nincompoop who
does what you're told TO do
without thinking twice about
the suggestion.

this years production will be

million tons in 1856.
Despite a seasonal pickup

The operating rate dropped a
half point to ATS per cent of

about ll,283.000 net tons OF

A modest upturn Il expected
in production by midyear. the

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Is This a Good Time to Buy?
~ SYLVIA PORTER

II is 10 your own advantage
10 buy In coming months. You
will not gain substantially by
waiting. And here are four
fundamental reasons why:
ID The slump has been con.
centrated In durable goods in-
dustries particularly autos, ap-
pliances-and the decline In
these industries now has
reached the point where you
can get impressive bargains.
90 Unless we're heading for
a depression-and we are not
heading for one-widespread,
severe price cuts are not In the
cards.
We have built into" our eco
nomic structure immense wage
cost rigidities In the last few
decades. and these rigidities
will prevent big price reduce
tons. D.
90 In houses. you can get
the greatest selection today in
years; you can get concessions
on new and old homes too
and most important, in coming
months. you'll be able TO A.
nance a home purchase on the
most favorable mortgage terms
in a long time.
Price Trend Upward
a. Over the long-term. the
trend Of prices is upward-and
the prices you pay for land. q
house, other big items today
may seem cheap in comparison
to prices asked five or so years
from today.
The bias in this country
throughout the 20 century has
been toward higher prices.
There is no sign that the bias
is shifting.
False optimism has no place
in this column. We can't talk
ourselves into q boom any more
than we can talk ourselves into
a bust.
But we can use our heads. de-
eide whether the urging to buy
now is sound for US. as indi-
viduals. as well as healthy for
our country.
A down-to-earth analysis Of
the basic forces suggests the
advice is sound for US. And
what is sound for us is, OF
course, healthy for our country.

ganization, repeatedly has dubbed
the constitutional proposals "ca-
tastrophic" and is holding fast to
his party's independence demand.
Thus France, like many another
colonial power in Africa is finding
itself confronted with a fresh set
of demands from its budding AZ
r'ican nationalists almost before it
has caught up with their old ones.
The South African Broadcasting
Corporation has reported that Gen
eral DeGaulle will visit French
West and French Equatorial Africa
as well as the French island pos
session of Madagascar before the
end of August. General DeGaulle
is due to call a referendum on the
new French Constitution in Sep
TENDER.
1t was General DeGaulle who
helped lay the foundation of much
of French black African political
progress to date by means of de-
cisions taken at the generals con-
ference on African affairs at Braz-
zaville on the Congo River in 1914.
But recently France has been
given striking evidence that the
current pace is outdated. Most
emphatic indication of this was
the results of elections in French
Togoland which put into power
a Negro government opposed to
Indignation with. France, thus re-
versing the political trend in this
territory till this time.
Furthermore the French Gov
eminent faces a hardening of
opinion in the ranks of M Seng-
.hor's Parti du Regroupment At
ricain which apparently is taking
a more independent line than its
rival Reassemblement Democrat
