Remember back yonder when the Nation
al Association of Manufacturers and other
domineering ovices of privilege and bigness
were crying about uncertainty? Remove
the OPA, drive the scoundrels out of Wash
ington. Cut off the bureaucrats’ heads,
lynch the fellow who dared work in the
nfQie of government for all the people.
That was their tune. They promised that if
controls were lifted, uncertainty would
vanish and all would he well. Well, infla
tion is with us. and if ever there was uncer
tainty about anything and everything it is
: staring us full in the face with flaming eyes.
Ioohv, the working man is paying within
ha few certs for a 24-pound bag of flour what
•■he paid for a 48-pound bag a short time ago.
Those fellows who wanted the govern
, ment to step down from its pedestal and
*igive then, full power to reign and ruin, have
‘ just abou' get the nation to the brink of
rein. • Thu y are responsible for strikes now
■ and riot the poor girls who are pleading for
a living wage.
iln'0,1 i>f His Time
In the opinion ol some. World War II and
all its disastrous effects did not lay the
foundation for lasting peace. So many of
us, including high officials, believe, with or
without reason, that another and more
costly world war must be fought.
Cry ing out against such a danger, Robert
Lee Humber, in an address in this county ;
recently, said mat no such war is needed,
and went on to declare that peace can be i
secured by a world federation supported hy j
authority.
... '*■ about the anniversary
B'/httrif'.* Pact til PiddSClEG&ft® Draffim&SSi
/n a Boston paper curnmerdr d on the Briand
Ivellogg Pact, and offered about the same
line of reasoning as advanced bv Humber,
as follows:
“In many ways, it is true that the Pact of
Paris was wishful thinking but it was the
right kind of wishing. It was earnest, hon
est wishing for peace, but it is clear by now
that in addition to wishing for peace, vve
must be ready to create the conditions of
peace and be prepared, by force if neces
sary, to defend the peace.”
Mr. Humber said that we must create a
world federation with sufficient force to
maintain the peace. Will we resort to that
promising suggestion, or will we go mad
and bankrupt trying to out-distance another
nation or combination of nations in an ar
mament race?
Economic Nonsense Offers Signals
One may subscribe to the Wall Street j
Journal, study Babson’s reports, follow the
Washington News Letter, digest World Re
port, keep company with leaders of Ameri
can business, but he’ll got no clearer warn
ing signals of what is in store lor this coun
try than those offered in the following eco- |
nomic nonsense:
Mass purchasing power is going down and
individual savings have been slashed by
more than 50 percent in recent months.
Prices are still rising, making it necessary j
for one to spend $1.57 today for what he ,
could buy for $1 in 1939. Wholesale prices
are just about at the same point they were
just before the big crash after World War I.
Production and inventories keep piling up
while purchasing power goes down.
Corporate profits, in the lace of crvs of
poverty from the big guys, were never high
er than they were last year and they are
still going up. Profits, after taxes, last year
were figured for the corporations at 12 bil
lion dollars, an amount about equal the
gross income of the farmer At the present
rate, corporate profits will push toward
fourteen or fifteen billion this year, if—
It has been pointed out that such a condi
tion simply doesn’t make sense. Rut it is
economic nonsense, and in it we see a situa
tion that cannot last.

It's wanted for bigness, and the deep
comfort of low-set, cushiony seats —
wanted for the floating ease of soft all

stride of a car that’s big enough and
brawny enough for its job.
It’s wanted tor styling that already
has set the pattern for years to come —
it’s wanted for fun, for adventure,
and for year-round, all-round full
family use.
The demand for it? Great, of course.
The supply? Mounting as fast as
