These subsidies ended with OPA. Presumably, they will be restored if OPA is restored. . . TO cite only one Instance, the butter subsidy was 15 CENTS PER POUND. When you bought a pound of butter, you paid (he OPA celling price and the treas ury of the United States paid the producer 15 cents MORE. ., ANOTHER thing to remember: Prices were rising under OPA. There was every indication that they would rise still more. (The accepted Washington esti mate was that by the end of the year cost of living would have risen 15 under OPA.) SOONER or later, we'll have to end price controls U wo are to retuln the American system. Since we've already been pushed off the deep end, this mlht be as good a time as any to find out If we can swim. . , ANOTHER thought for today: Nearly 150 years ago Thomas Jefferson, the great friend of the common man, said: "Were we di rected from Washington when to sow and when to reap, wc would BOON WANT BREAD." Well, Washington now tells rhvn (and what), to sow and whon to reap-T-and BREAD IS SCARCE. BUT enough of OPA for today at least. It's a sour subject, and always leaves a bad taste in the mouth. There Is other significant news afoot. NIKOLAI NOVIKOKF, NEW Russian ambassador In (he UnKcd States, says In an Inter view In Washington: "There Is no basis whatever for war between the Soviet Union and tho United States." Ho adds: "I know this that the people of the United States do not want to wage a war against the Soviet Union or any other country. I know the Soviet Union WILL NEVER start a war against the United States or anyone else . . Ho concludes: "Thus the differences between us MUST be ironed out. I believe they WILL bo Ironed out." THAT conciliatory, reasonable I statement Is in SHARP con trast to the criticism of the Unit ed Slates and the American peo ple that has been coming from Moscow recently. There must be a reason for the change. We can at least he very, VERY sure that Mr. Novlkoff Isn't Just talking on his own hook.' Like other Russians In an official ca pacity, he says what Moscow tells him to say (ns do . diplo mats generally)! If Moscow is adopting a con claltory attitude toward us, It is BIG NEWS. Bigger, even, than OPA. NO calamity could equal that of stumbling inlo war with Russia. Talc Your Choice CHICACJO. July 8.

If labor is willing to make a brief patriotic sacrifice, there is little danger of an inflationary spiral. On the other hand, irresponsible labor leadership can create a most dangerous condition should it seize upon existing opportunity to demand general wage increases. . . ' Already some labor representatives have been insisting that if prices increase there must be an equivalent rise in wages. If labor, in general, takes this attitude and enforces its demands by strike action, the. way is open for. damaging inflation. No greater disservice could be done the laboring man, we believe, than to have his leaders seek wage in creases during the critical prices are left without federal It is easy to say that if increased in proportion. At the demand is reasonable and justified. But we are in an unusual period. Price controls have thrown the whole scheme of supply and demand out of bal ance. Many shortages exist in consumer goods. Elements are present to create inflation. Prices are certain to rise not necessarily to a dangerous level until production catches up with demand. Price increases, however, will be TEMPO RARY only. As soon as the volume of production creates abundant supply, prices will go down. But, if during the re conversion period labor insists upon more wages, wage costs will be added to prices, whereupon more wages will be re quired, thus forcing prices up another step, until we will have the start of uncontrolled inflation. There is a defense, however a style of defense which the country seems in ripe mood to put into practice. That defense is a strike by consumers. We do not want a con sumers' strike. Nothing could be more disastrous to indus try, business and labor than for the consuming public to tighten its purse strings and refuse to buy. Widespread un employment would result. Labor would be the chief sufferer. But there is ample evidence the American public is ready te use this weapon if necessary. Labor has nothing to gain and everything to lose in touch ing off the powder keg of inflation by a renewed orgy of strikes. It may be galling to the laboring man to sit by while prices rise and the paycheck remains stationary. But it must be borne in mind that the profit in a wage check is entirely relative to living costs. If prices go out of control, wages must constantly lag behind. They can never catch up. On the other hand, if labor bends its energies to production, prices soon will decline. Each step in the downward graph of prices puts more profit in the paycheck. Thus, if labor will patriotically cooperate during the period of reconver sion, it will undoubtedly Ge in a position to retain present wage scales and so profit through a reduction of living costs below existing levels. ' We must reckon With selfishness and greed. There will be some unwarranted profit taking on the part of industry and business. This, to labor, is like waving a red flag before a bull. But, on the other hand, we find selfishness on the part of labor in demanding ALL tho profits. We also must con sider the desire of many irresponsible labor leaders for self aggrandizement. The present opportunity is a virtual bo nanza for them to gain publicity, power, and prestige. That some labor leadership is extremely shortsighted, insofar as the general welfare of its membership is concerned, has been demonstrated in recent months, when thousands upon thou sands of workmen were thrown into idleness, the country discommoded, and economy threatened, while chieftains pur sued their private feuds. The power of labor still rests in the hands of the worker. Our labor organizations are extremely democratic when the members will participate, rather than leave control in the hands of the few. Now is the time for labor to assert its democracy. Its membership should demand intelligent and responsible action on tho part of1 its leadership. It should insist that efforts be concentrated upon stimulating produc tion, thus bringing about the earliest possible end to all in flationary dangers, through restoration of the law of supply and demand. It would thus be in the position 'for a most considerable rise in paycheck profits. Labor holds the key which can relieve inflationary dan gers, speed the day of recovery and assure security for itself and the nation.

U& Not since Babe Ruth has there been one Individual who stood out so overwhelmingly in all-star base ball pre-game speculation as Cleveland's Bob Feller. This, notwithstanding the fact that Hal Newhouser, who pitched Detroit to the world champion ship last year, and Ted Williams, tne Boston Kea sox mignty nit ter who clouted a three-run homer to win the 1941 inter league game, will be among Fel lers teammates In the 13th meet ing between s(ars of the Amer ican and National leagues In Fen way Park tomorrow. The American League leads the series wilh eight victories, , to four for the Nationals. Strikeout Pace Eyed The upwards of 33,000 fans ex pected to turn out for the game starting at 9:30 A. M. PST, will be watching to see if Feller Steve O'Neill's choice to start can maintain his ' astonishing strikeout pace in the current American League campaign against National League batsmen. In 20 league games to date, Feller has averaged 9.5 strike outs per game, while winning 15 games and losing five. O'Neill gave the starting nod to Feller in spite of pride in his own great pitcher, Hal New houser, the Tiger' only playing representative in the game. Dope sters had it figured that the Yan kees' Spurgeon Chandler would combine with Feller1 and New houser to carry the Americans' pitching load. Former Feat Recalled Playing In his native Fenway Park, Williams was calculated to lead the Americans' anticipated hitting barrage against Manager Charley Grimm's pitchers, who were expected to be led by the Cubs' Claude Passcau, the Cardi nals' Howie Pollet and Brooklyn's Kirby Highe. Currently the leading home run hitter In both leagues and runner up (o (he Washingion's Mickey Vernon for batting honors In the American League, Williams de livered the mosl effective single blow in all-siar records. Wilh two on and two out in the ninth inning of the 'At game, Williams poled a homer to give the Amer icans a 7 to 5 victory. The National League will have nine players, including stout swatters like Dixie Walker, Johnny Hopp and Stan Musial, in the game just like the junior circuit, but the Americans' su perior pitching ana tnc explosive batting power made them pre game choices with (he fans and the bettors. 1 hey ruled 1 to -a belling favorites. Feller Defeats Chisox; Newhouser Shuts Out Browns (By the Associated Press) Bobby Feller, Cleveland pitch ing ace, began poorly yesierday, allowing (wo runs In (he firsl frame, bu( picked up steam as he went along and whipped the Chicago White Sox 3-2 for his 15th victory of the season. The Sox, behind Lopat's two-hit twirl ing, copjied (he nlghlcap 5 0. Newhouser of Detroit, turned In a five-hit performance in blanking the St. Louis Browns 30 In a single fray. Chandler yielded five hits and three runs In six innings to the Athlelics as Ihc New York Yan kees and Philadelphia divided a doubleheader. A five-run rally In (he seventh enabled (he Yanks to win (he opener 7-3, but the A's won the second 41 as Savage outhurled Chandler for his first victory of the season. Bosox Win Twin Bill ,. Wilh each of (he Boston Red Sox six all-star clubbers contrib uting in large doses, the Red Sox increased their first-place lead over the runner-up Yankees to seven and a half games by tak ing the measure of Washingion's Senators twice, 11-1 and 9 4. The St. Louis Cardinals' Pollet yielded only three hits as he shut out the Pittsburgh Pirates tt-0 In the nightcap of a douoleheader (or his ninth win of the year and his fifth in his lasi six starts. The Cards also won the opener 4-3 to gain a full game on (he (roiU running Brooklyn Dodgers, who now lead by fivo games as a result of (heir split with the Boston Braves. A ninth inning, two-run rally gave the Braves a 3-2 victory in the opener but the Brooks came back to win the nightcap 4-2. Helped hy Mize and Cooper, the New York Giants downed the Philadelphia Phillies twice to wrest sixth place from their op ponents. Mize drove out two hits and cooper three as the Giants clubbed out a 10-2 second game win after Witek's two-run homer won the opener 21. In a single encounter, Ciiicin na(i defeated the Chicago Cuhs G-2 with Rookie Outfielder Lukon clouting two homers (o drive in five runs. "Money-Conscious" SEATTLE, July 8. (.
