Americans, British Ponder Meaning of Bid on Disarmament.
By R. H. SHACKFORD United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 12 — Soviet
Minister Viacheslav M. Molotov's offer- to meet American
demands for inspection rights as a prerequisite to ‘ disarmament
shortages and . skyrocketing prices
will complete the exhaustion of the nation's accumulated purchasing power that might, if wisely used, insure an era of prosperity.
” =u CONVERSELY a period of substantially
production will feed and clothe the age and largely restore normal price If this can be accomplished, purchasing power will be increased, American: labor will enjoy the highest standard of living the world has ever known; and American industry and agriculture will have assured markets for all they can produce. » ” . HOW CAN this be achieved? Not Laws, to be speedily effective in this controversial field, must necessarily be coercive. In the present temper of the country, full production can be attained only by free industry and willing workers. If chaos comes, as a result of continued industrial strife, it mayp be met by totalitarian measures
fiscation of industry and coercion of the workers. We do not yet, thank God, face that dreadful issue.
® » » BUT EVERY captain of industry and every labor leader must recognize that some such drastic solution will be the inevitable outcome of continued conflict, sporadic production and unchecked inflation. Fascist Italy, Falangist Spain, Nazi Germany and” Bolshevik Russia all teach the same lesson of chaotic conditions superficially cured by confiscation and coercion. What then is the solution? In my considered judgment, based upon nearly 40 years study of the of American industry and labor, it lies in the early abandonment of all artificial price and wage | controls and the establishment by voluntary agreement of an industrial armistice covering the year of 1047. .
= » - SUCH A TRUCE should be acceptable to both management and labor. Wise capitalists as well as wise labor leaders know they are rapidly reaching the end of their rope. They are, however, unwilling to surrender what they consider their essential rights and interests. But such a truce as is here proposed does not involve the sacrifice of any individual or corporate inter-| ests or the assumption of any obligations which cannot be realized | during the T2-monts period. n ” THE ESSENTIAL terms of such an armistice are clear and simple: | y ONE: Artificial] wage and price controls must be removed. The huge and complex machinery of American industry cannot be geared up to full speed ahead if it is hampered by the red tape of bureaucratic controls. The voluntary agreements proposed should, however, contain arrangements for readjustments of wages in harmony with changes in the cost of living. TWO: Production must be uninterrupted. If we would live, either as a nation or as individuals, we must produce. We cannot long consume more than we can produce and the cost and price of any commodity are dependent upon the volume of its production. Industry must therefore undertake to operate throughout the year at the full capacity which the available supply of ‘raw materials, fuel and labor will permit and should thus guarantee for the one year truce period, employment for every willing worker, THREE: ‘Management and labor alike must agree that all issues which cannot promptly be settled

At the conclusion of this important service Mr. Taft wrote Mr. Manly as follows: “You and I doubtless differ on many economic issues, but it is a great satisfaction to me as I hope it is to you, to know that when we met in a quasi-judicial capacity, as man to man, we found each other reasonable, fair and square in

FEAR BEDFORD
“WOMAN SLAIN
Finding of Clothing “Turns

Times State Service BEDFORD, Ind. Nov. 12. — The search for a 40-year-old divorcee, missing from her Bedford home for a week, turned to Bloomington today. It was reported that clothing similar to those she wore had been found there, Authorities believed she had met with foul play. They discounted a suicide theory advanced by a mid-dle-aged, married man with whom she had been reported “keeping, company.” The woman was Mrs. Thora Lake | missing from her home on the east edge of the city last Tuesday afternoon. Lawrence County Sheriff Lai) W, Hayes went to Bloomington to inspect the clothing while Bedford Police. Chief Lowell Simmons questioned four or five persons. Chief Simmons refused to identify the woman's friend, whom he planned to question today. He hinted that there might be new developments in the week-old mystery this afternoon. Authorities dragged a quarry near Mrs. Lake's home Friday but Chief Simmons said the hole would have to be drained of water before a thorough check for a body could be made. Chief Simmons said that Mrs. Lake had left home with no money or extra clothing. When she was last seen, she was wearing blue
overall trousers and a red plaid
skirt,

But the Americans and British were wondering whether Mr. Molotov'’s statement at the Armistice day dinner of the Foreign Press association last night was for propa- | ganda purposes or could be taken at face value. They were frankly skeptical but! equally frank to admit that it would be the most sensational development of the current inter- | national meetings in New York if he means business.

eads for Peace
By JOHN L. STEELE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 12.—America’s hope for peace— the plea of a Gold Star mother—was placed before the United Nations today. A letter, written by a dead marine’s mother to Archbishop Francis J. Spellman, was read by Secretary of State James F. Byrnes last night before the Foreign Press association's dinner tendered the Big Four and United Nations delegates. He said it typified the longing of little people everywhere for peace. “HE WAS young,” Mrs. Stanley Schnelle of Olivia, Minn, of her son, “Eighteen—a senior in high school. said to me, ‘Mom, this is my fight. I got to go. the boy from England or China.’ “His father and I let him enlist. He wanted to Be a marine, He had a crooked finger caused by an accident. “Time after time he hitch-hiked to Minneapolis trying to enlist, No, that crooked finger kept him out. “But they couldn't keep him out. He got into the marine corps. He later, by the same persistent method, got to be a marine raider. ~ u u - » ~ “WHEN HE left, and that was our last goodby, he said: I'm going off to war and I don't know of an enemy.’ “A buddy who got back and came to see us said, ‘You know, one

Laughter came easy to him. He fought hard—Bougainville, the Bikinis, Guam and lastly, Okinawa on Sugar Loaf hill. He was part of the 4th marine regiment, 6th marine division. ... - » ” Ld - » “I WONDER: what heaven looked like with those tired, weary boys coming in.. I figured they would look at each other, some friend, and say ‘You here?’ But I think of what they died for. I. think of the work left to be done. Now it’s up to us—their work is over. “I pray, work. I pray wondered too long. they can’t bear. “I pray for a just peace treaty to come soon. I pray that all might be fed and clothed. I can’t see hungry people even if they were enemies. Hunger doesn't make good people—it breeds hate. I've been repairing clothes.

But we were a happy family and laughter came easy to us all—laughter and sympathy, for we knew what it was to go-without.” The dead marine was Pfc. Gordon Schnelle, Co. 1, 3d*Bn., 4th marines. When one of Mr Byrnes’ aides telephoned Mrs. Schnelle last night and asked ‘permission for the secretary of state to read the letter, she wept. » = ” ” ” » MR. BYRNES told the delegates that America's greatness lies in its humble homes, and in such mothers as this one who “prays . for our enemies and is anxious to help them.” “May God guide us to grant her prayers.” he said. When the American secretary had finished, Russian Foreign Minister V." M. Molotov, Britain's Ernest Bevin and other worid leaders howed for a moment in silent tribute to the marine and his fallen comrades. 3
