continued high level of production and employment, and a “shock treatment” needed to halt the “insane spiral of mounting costs and rising prices. Many other businesses, as he says, may be unable the follow suit. But the Ford Motor Co. will try to “return to the economic pattern which has helped to make America great—the principle that higher wages and a higher standard of living for all ‘depend upon lower costs and lower pfices through increasingly efficient large-scale production.” The company, according to young Henry, had orders for more than a million cars at the higher prices. It lost millions of dollars in the first year after V-J day, and saw productivity of its employees hit a new low. But “the crisis of this wild aftermath of war seems to have passed.” Ford production, though still limited by material shortages, is now steadier. Productivity seems to have started back toward normal. The company made a modest profit for the last three months of 1946 and intends to stay in the black. J . . SO, as an’ “individual responsibility,” it is doing what it cap to dispel the fear that the dangerous cost-price spiral cannot be corrected without an economic recession. And, from a self-interest viewpoint, its action is guided by the fact that a mass-production business can continue to succeed only by producing more and more, at lower and lower costs, so that more and more people can afford to buy. : Young Henry's grandfather began more than 30 years ago to talk and practice this theory of low prices and large markets. Some people thought he was crazy. They learned better. Young Henry's remark that he hopes the company can reduce prices still further, and will not be forced to raise them again to compensate for cost increases, means of course that he is opposed to a second round of large wage . increases at this time. Well, we think almost any company would do the country more good just now by lowering prices ; han by raising wages—especially if its employees were in An the first round of large wage increases last year,

IF THE 80TH CONGRESS has any gumption, it will put the political oratory on the shelf for a while and face up to reality, There is no excuse for not knowing what has happened. Pacts are piled mountain high. Two years ago, the senate committee on education and labor held extensive hearings on a bil] to give federal ald to education. From almost every state came reports of teachers leaving their desks to take other jobs that would pay a living wage. Schools were closing, classes consolidated into unwieldy, unteachable masses. : In Ohio, 200,000‘ children had new teachers in their classrooms in 1945. Five thousand temporary

DR. EDWARD PF. DEGERING of Purdue university doesn’t know it, but he has helped to drive me from my hearth. The good doc predicts to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, that world war IIT will cost the U. 8. 300 billion dollars. This statement came along in the midst of a fevered reckoning of what I owe Uncle for having been allowed to work this year, and the spirit is crushed. Hot on the heels of the doctor's dreary pronunciamento comes the bulletin that a super-calculator has been Invented, and that it can count billions in half a jiff. ‘Ome fifth of a second is enough to add figures involving billlons—you can multiply them in less than a second. I don’t want to hear any more about it. ‘This is what theyll use to compute our future taxes, for our future war. 1 am fleeing, too, in order to escape memoirs, Simultaneously I discover that Italy's Victor Emmanuel, the unhorsed monarch (jg) is penning his reminiscences, and that William Heirens, the Chicago murderer, is doing likewise.

TOKYO, Jan. 17.—~Jap Communists have become so brazen and defiant of America in recent utterances that belief is growing some arrests may be impending on charges of impeding and obstructing the occupation. Leaders of a t strike of electrical workers boasted in public spéeches that they had “turned off the lights in the American embassy and Gen. MacArthur's headquarters.”

Sharply Critical of U. S.

80 FAR, OUR POLICY has been to permit the Communists to print or say practically anything, under the rule of free speech, but it's. evident. that the time is nearing when slander designed to. discredit the occupation must be stopped. : Thus Enosuke Nakanichi, Communist diet member, receptly said: “The Zaibatsu (monopolies of leading families) has been destroyed but one must antici~ pate that the Americans will replace the Zaibatsu with their own system and loot Japan.” : Miss Toshi Karasawa, another Communist diet member, said: “The Japanese need not be grateful for food from the United States. This surplus food, not wanted by the Ameri¢ans, was sold to us at a huge profit." ," “7g One of the most vigorous and violent critics. of America, in strains reminiscent of the anti-foreign expressions of the prewar Communist party, Secretary Kyuichi Tokuda, urged his followers not to fear the occupation forces because “in five years we will be rid of them Don't hesitate to act because Actually America herself is partly communistic.” was arguing against continuance of the present
