High Explosives, Hard Work
Mark Week At Worlds Capital
By ELMER BENDINER
NEW YORK, April 5?The brew
they make here at the world's capi- |
tal. Lake Success, simmered last :
week, at times boiled to the top, at
other times exploded in angry jets
of steam through well placed safety
vents. |
Tiie Truman plan for Greece and :
Turkey, and the grim question of ?,
disarmament were the simmering j
pots watched here with mounting j
anxiety. Bub even in the unanimous j
agreement of the Security Council
to make the United S.^tes ah ad
ministrator under the trusteeship |
system, there were scarcely veiled
reference- to coming battles, a bit
ten nes- even in unanimity.
question of the veto power was. ,
raised again, then deftly skirted. %
Away from the shifting skirmish I
line, there was- solid work done.
A great international system look
ing to the liberation of subject peo
ples all over the world was inaug
urated. Another vast world body
made plans for raising the status
of women, controlling narcotics^
saving the children of war-ravaged
areas, setting up standards for a
world-wide free press,, easing
travel restrictions, remolding the
shattered economies of Europe and
Asia in a world plan, unprecedent
ed and staggering. That job, with
out firewoiVs, was advanced well
beyond the talking stage.

UNIVERSAL
?>
Is Proving Itself and Paying Its Way
On Farms and In Industry
All Over America
? You see Universal 'Jeeps' in your town and at
every crossroad, hard at work on an endless variety
of jobs. They are there because they do the job
better at lower cost.
? On tfye Farm the Universal " Jeep" is one vehicle
used all day, every day, throughout the year to
do countless jobs on farms and ranches.
With powerful " Jeep" Engine, 4-wheel drive and
range of 6 speeds forward and 2 reverse, the
%
"Jeep" is used for plowing, discing, harrowing and
other field work. Both pull-type and hydraulic
lift equipment can be used with the Universal
/
"Jeep".
Power take-off furnishes to 30 h. p. belt power
for feed mills, buzz saws and ensilage cutters. It
operates sprayers, binders, power mowers and
other shaft driven farm equipment.
? The Jeep serves as a pick-up and tow truck that
travels roads and open country impassable to ord
inary vehicles.
? We carry a complete line of Farm Equipment,
including Hydraulic Lifts, Plows, Disk Harrows,
Sub-soilers, all available for immediate delivery.
? Call Joe Fulmer or Frank Allison for a demon
stration of the Jeep and the Farm Equipment.

Three Sides to Disarmament
There are three sides to dis
armament. The Americans and the
British have set up rigid prerequis
ites involving atomic energy con
trol, peace settlements with the
Germans and the Japanese, and a
working system of safeguards'.
France's Alexandre Parodi, rep
resenting the middle ground arg
ued: No disarmament without se
curity, but '*To desire full security
first is to consent never to disarm."
j The last camp found a spokes
man in pudgy, professorial Dr. Os
car Lange who sain, "My govern
ment stands for -rapid and radical
disarmament ? disarmament now
without any undue delay, and ex
cuses." He went on, to dot .il hs
nation's own demobilization "in
spite of the l\.ct that we have the
iongest frontier with Germany."
Then lie called attention to his
; country's penal code which pro
! vides up to five years' imprison
ment for "public incitement to ag
gressive war."
'"IJ?the U. X. fails." ho .- j !, "then
we have very little else :.> look
forward to." That ia-t portentous
note was echoed by Dr. l,.;,c-.o4
Colombia who v.(?iced ".i cor* ,.n

"stabb.an 1 ? t:( o! 1 ? inter

con mente i .hat h. .s "an.

waa-k we pi n. i- prematurely un
aertaken." Then he called for the
tag five t") get together on a plan
! work.
| Tae one significant voice that
ha< not been heard is Andrei Gro
mvko's though he h: s o?"len inc'i
cated his desire to .-peak on the
general question of disarmament.
His statement, and it will be a
bombshell, will come this week.
Trusteeship Wrangle
The offci* put the 6*00 Caroline))
Marshall and Marianna Islands
under a U. S. trusteeship agree
ment, made as a take-it-or-leave
it proposition by Senator Austin,
received unanimous endorsement,
but in the last session which ran
on until close to nine o'clock in
the evening, the details produced
acrimonious wrangles that made'
the unanimity seem superficial, in
deed.
Though representatives of small
pmvers like Brazil's Dr. G>waldo
Aranha tried to stem the debate
by vainly pleading "No use for all
: these big words, .'ill 'his considera
tion," the argument wore on until

What do you think railroads make?
ft
The public thinks
What do you tliink tiiey should make? VVI-at are the facts?
The public thinks 10% would be fair
/V
Actually the railroads earned
only 2^4% in 1946.
To provide the service you want
railroads need to earn at least
6%. But estimates indicate that
even with the recent freight rate
increase, the return for 1947 will
be only about half that requirement
Impartial research po]hshowthat,onthe
a vera ge, peopl e t h i n k we m a ke 15 % .They
also think a fair return would be 10%.
I\ hat We Make
But for the year 1916, with the biggest
peace-time traffic in history, the rail
? rnarla oomPrl nnly Thifl jfl
less than one-half the comparable earn
ings for other industries.
The reasons for this low return are
not hard to find. Since 1939 railroad
wages have increased 526/io% and the
pric es of fuel, materials and supplies
have gone up 616/io%.
* But freight rates have just recently
been increased an average of only
17^io%?a year after the effective date
of the last big wage increase. ~
What About Thin Year?
It is estimated that the return for 1947,
1 even with -the recent freighti__rate in
crease, will be only about half the 6%
minimum return required to provide
the improvements and service needed.
This will be because of increased costa
of materials and supplies; because cer
ineron.<4*i granted in 1946
wore in effect for only part of 1946 but
will be in effect for all of 1947; because
of increased special pa$*v>ll taxes on
railroads; and because of a decline in
passenger business.
What Does This Mean To You?
The answer is "Plenty!" Your standard
of living is tHe~HigEest in the world be
cause of mass production. But mass
production would not be possible with
out mass transportation, which the
railroads provide at low cost.
Why 6% I$ Needed
The kind of service your standard of
living requires takes a lot of money for
new equipment and improvements. To
carry out the post-war improvement
program for better equipment, tracks,
terminals and modern safety devices, a
minimum return of 6% is needed.
So when the railroads make only 2H
cents on each SI.00 of their net prop
erty investment, it concerns you.*
The fund* fbr future new equipment
and improvements must come from rail
road earnings and also from investors.
They will furnish money on reasonable
terms only if they have confidence in

You Have Another Slake In This
Even if you do not own any railroad
stocks or bonds, insurance companies
and savings banks do. So you still have
a special interest in seeing that the rail
roads are allowed enough to do a good
job . . . for you.
We are publishing this and other
advertisements to talk with you at first

tant to everybody.
?On total property investment, the railroads
made only ?.19%.
