Consumers To Pay There have been any number of wage increases granted by industrial leaders to labor unions in recent weeks. The process is termed the third increase in wages and the expecta tion is that there will follow a third increase in the price of manufactur ed goods. It begins to appear that labor and capital will not fight each other too hard for the simple reason that when capital grants a wage increase and increases the price of its product, the result is more money, for the laborer and more profits for the manufacturer. The possibility exists, of course, that the manufacturer will gradually price himself out of the market. In the meanwhile, the Sellers' market continues in this country and the consumers pay the increased price, thus providing the money for bigger profits. How long the process can continue we are unable to say, but, in the long run, it means economic disaster. "As Grave . . . As Munich" Winston Churchill, war leader of Great Britain and present head of the opposition party, recently pledg ed the support of the Conservative Party to, the Labor Government in the crisis between the Western pow ers and the Soviet Union over Ber lin. Mr. Churchill declared that the is sues are "as grave as those we now know were at stake at Munich ten years ago," and that "there can be no doubt that the Communist govern ment of Russia has made up its mind to, drive us and France and all the other Allies out and turn the Russian zone in Germany into one of its sat ellite states under the rule of totali tarian terrorism." The war leader pointed out that the democracies should have learned by now that there is no safety "in yielding to dictators whether Nazi or Communist." He urged a "firm and resolute course" as "not only the best but the only" chance of pre venting a third World War. He pledged to the Labor Government his full support "in the stand which, with all their devotion to the cause of peace, they have felt bound to make." For Safety In Boats The summer season offers oppor tunities for water sports and millions of people find enjoyment in boating, fishing and swimming. The newspapers constantly relate accidental deaths of individuals who lose their lives through mishaps in the water. Maybe, a small boat is taken out too far and runs into rough water. Possibly, a swimmer attempts too much and fishermen naturally ac cept the perils of boating. ' . It might be a good idea for those who use boats on the waters to un derstand the Safety Council's boat rules. For the benefit of those con cerned, we call attention to them: After you have made sure your craft is safe, don't overload it Rowboats, canoes, outboards and other small craft should avoid rough water and the wash of larger vessels. Always carry a flashlight emer gencies are usually unexpected. If your boat capsizes, it is usually ujiser to cling to it until help arrives, if it remains afloat, than to try to swim any distance. No Perfect Defense The people of the United States should not overlook the tendency of defense experts, including some civil ians as well as military men, to in sist on perfection in much the same sense that there are some generals who would "fortify the moon." There is no system of pre-war de fense that will be absolutely perfect and. it is too much to expect the peo ple of the United States to spend bil lions of dollars to , "defend" them selves against what some of the ex perts think might be a powerful weapon in the hands of the enemy. It is generally assumed that the Arctic region is of vital Importance to the defenses of the United States but the Foreign Policy Association, through a report by Blair - Bolles, says that it is a question whether a bomb-laden plane "could regularly attack the United States across the It is one tLing to aert tl.it the United States ahpuld be on the alert to prevent an enemy power from oc cupying vital regions :." in' the Arctic but it is quite another to suggest that we need, In the year 1948, a means of defense against aerial attacks rfrora far off countries which "might" send their planes via the North Pole. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON . V (Continued from' Page Seven) ter appears when she accepts the great sacrifice which Ruth - made on her behalf. When she saw : that Ruth's devotion was deep and true, she took her daughter to her , heart and felt it grow warm again. When the two travel-worn women finally arrived in' the little town of Bethlehem, they received a rather cold reception. Naomi had ' been Away for so long that even her clos est friends did not recognize her. "Is this Naomi?" they questioned. This is not hard to understand, how ever, when we realize that in those days, few people could read and write and there was very limited means or communication. When a person left his home for a foreign land, he was as though he were dead, as far as those left behind were con cerned. - ' ' While her home-coming was a dis appointment, Naomi lost no time in grieving. She began immediately to plan for their new life. As this was the harvest season she made ar rangements for Ruth to glean in the field of a kinsman of her husband one Boaz, a rich man. Knowing the custom of the land, that a kinsman is responsible for the widow of an other kinsman. Naomi ... found a new goal in life in looking out for Ruth, and recognized the hand of God in the new life which she saw opening up for both of them. This story has a happy ending. After making all the necessary ar rangements according to the customs of the land, Boaz took Ruth-for his wife. In the little son which came to Ruth and Boaz, Naomi found a happiness that made her forget past sorrows. The book ends with - the significant mention of David, who was the great grandson of Ruth. The whole story of Ruth and Naomi is one of loving unselfishness and the undying devotion to Gjd and to each other. LOOKING AT WASHINGTON (Continued from Page Three) Soviet Blockade Designed To Run U. S. From Berlin More than two million Germans in the western sections of Berlin face starvation because the Russians have halted all food shipments from Soviet-controlled areas. This is in ad dition to the impasse between the Russians and the Western Allies over the shipment of food into Berlin from the Western Zone or from the outside countries. The Russian idea is plain. Moscow wants to force the Germans to ac cept the Soviet" demand that Great withdraw from v ...s jint control c Berlin. Under the terms of the Pots dam, Agreement each of the four powers 'had a certain section of Ber lin under .'control. Since the Rus sian zone of occupation entirely sur rounds Berlin, it is possible for the Russians to interfere "with food ship ments coming into' Berlin by rail from the Western , zones." The Western nations have refused to accept the Russian demand that all such shipments be subject to Rus sian inspection and approval. The present food supply of the Allied na tions, in their sections of Berlin, will last slightly less than ; thirty days, In the meantime, the pro-Russian contingent of the American public should understand .very clearly that the Russians are ruthlessly applying the strategy of starvation to gam their political ends - ' There was a time, about a quarter of a century ago, when the nations of the earth - renounced the use of war as an instrument of national po licy. It was not thought necessary, at that time and for many years af terwards, to get the nations of the earth to agree not to use starvation as an instrument of national policy. The Fascist countries 5 and now Rus sia seem to be willinar to bring about the starvation of inndcent people in. order to gain a political objective. We Pay 3 Billion A Month To Have A Free Government For the fiscal year Which begins July 1st, Congress has" appropriated about $35,000,000,000, which is almost $2,000,000,000 less than the budget requests of President Truman. About $20,000,000,000 of the money was passed upon by Congress in the closing hours of the session wnen three of the biggest bills were rush ed through.' It is rather difficult for the aver age American, despite war expendi tures and familiarity with billions of dollars, to envision a Federal Govern' ment that spends nearly $3,000,000; 000 a month. Nevertheless, when one analyzes the appropriations made, it is not as easy as one might think to find places for safe reductions.
