ooeome a completed fact."
What are we trying to accomp
lish? . Here's another guess: We're
merely serving notice on the Rus
sians that under the four-powei
council agreement we have right,
In Berlin and that we are going
to insist that they be recognized.
fHAT will that amount to?
Well, here's a third guess:
' It will all depend on the size
ol the stick we carry.
Kj E ANWHILE, the dispatches
I! report, we put on speed tc
bolster air and sea defenses oi
"the Dardanelles, now guarded by
,700,000 Turkish troops. The U.
S. aircraft carrier Rendova is
ready to leave San Francisco bay
for Istanbul (Constantinople.)
She will carry about 100 American
warplanes. Two other carriers,
similarly loaded, are expected to
follow her.
WATCH IT.
Suppose Russia should do.
. cldo to TAKE OVER the Dardan,
olios straights, which lie far to
the cast of the Stotlln.Adrlatic
line. No one seriously doubts
that militarily she could do It.
Turkey Is tough, but small. Rus
sia is big. We'r a long way off.
Russia Is CLOSE.
The point to watch is whether
Russia Is willing to go that far.
THERE is a new wrinkle in the
I hot Italian election campaign.
The Communist-led General
Confederation of Labor in Italy
threatens a general strike In pro
test against the disappearance ol
a Sicilian labor leader. The Com
munists charge that "rightists"
(anti-Commuulsts) have kidnap
ped or killed him.
Would n general strike help oi
hurt the Communist cause In
Italy? That question is hard to
answer at this distance. The
threat does Indicate the explosive
character of the situation there.
a m
THE other day our House of
I Representatives (probably go
ing off at half-cock) voted three
to one to invito Franco Spain In
to the Euronean Recovery Plan
President Truman and the State
DeDartmcnt protested vigorously
TJiev sav that any such inviting
should be done by the 1(5 Euro
pean nations Included In the plan
that we have no business In-
vltinu a cuest (especially a ques
tionable one) Into somebody else's
house.
Thursday morning Senate and
House members working on a
compromise foreign aid bill
agreed to drop Spain from the
list of countries eligible for aid.
ilfHAT is all the shooting about?
fl It scorns to this writer, who
tries to be realistic, that a lot of
messv thinking Is Involved. It
Is true enough that Franco Is no
shining knight of democracy. Rut
neither Is Stalin. Yet we wei
romed him Into the fold because
we thought he could help us lick
Hitler.
If we swallowed Stalin, because
we wanted his help, why should
we gag at Franco?

Out Our Way
By J. R.
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Anyone who thinks newspapers are in the excess profits
class will be interested in recent surveys into publishing
costs. The surveys cast light on the reason why several of
tho nation's prominent papers have ceased publication in
recent months, despite what is generally considered a period
of high level prosperity.
American newspapers, it is shown, are paying about 50
per cent more to meet costs of publication than in 1945 and
costs are still rising. Newsprint, for instance, is 120 per cent
costlier than In 1933 and there is not much prospect of any
price decrease in the near future. There is, however, a gen
eral belief that the price won't go much higher because
Canadian manufacturers, from whom newspapers buy a
major part of their newsprint, fear further price increases
would result in larger manufacturing capacity in the United
States, and Canada would thereby lose one of Its principal
export markets.
The Bureau of Advertising of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association reports that member papers of that
organization received more than $1 billion in advertising
revenue during 1947. Editor & Publisher, a newspaper trade
nagazine, says that small dailies gained 19.7 per cent in
idvertising volume during the year, while metropolitan
dailies gained 16.1 per cent. This, on the surface, appears
.0 offer a handsome profit opportunity, but there is a catch
.o all this fine business increase. The catch is that while
idvertising revenue went up 50 per cent (which includes
raises in advertising rates) increases in costs have more
than equalled the rate of revenue gain.
Wages and salaries represent one of the principal cost
increase items, surveys showing that from each $10 spent
by a newspaper in its publishing operation, from ?4 to $6
go into wages and salaries.
All raw materials have increased in cost, so that the ex
pense of composing rooms has increased about 69 per cent;
photo-engraving departments, 63 per cent; press rooms, 4U
per cent; stereotype departments, 71 per cent; editorial, 38
per cent; advertising, 48 per cent; circulation 35 per cent,
according to Editor & Publisher surveys.
So, while newspapers as a whole have enjoyed a consider
able increase in business and in revenue, the profit margin
has dropped behind in percentage.
Newspapers generally have increased both advertising ana
subscription rates, but increased revenue from these sources
has failed to keep pace with advancing costs. Some publishers
are predicting that the proverbial 5-cent metropolitan news
paper, soon will go to six or seven cents.
An item, not covered in tho survey, is the gamble news
papers are taking in re-equipping their plants. During the
period of depression newspapers could not afford new ma
chinery. During the war press machinery was not being
munufactufed. Consequently, newspapers quite generally
have permitted production equipment to become badly run
down. Manufacturers of presses, typesetting machines, stere
otype equipment, etc., are many months, and even years,
behind on orders. Millions of dollars worth of new machinery
has been contracted. Newspapers in many localities are erect
ing new buildings, buying new presses, replacing worn out
equipment, etc., even while tho profit margin is shrinking,
and while costs of materials steadily increase and new wage
demands arc made.
All this expansion might cause tho average reader to be
lieve that newspapers arc making such a high rate of profit
they can afford the buildings and machinery they arc buying
to tho tune of millions of dollars. But the fact is that most
of them were so badly deteriorated by the long period when
machines and equipment were not procurable that they must
either build up their plants or quit business, regardless of
the debt incurred.
It is. we believe, a rather comforting feeling to realize
that publishers generally have sufficient confidence in the
future to be willing to gamble that their investments will be
profitable in the long run, when faced with the unfavor
able prospects shown by current surveys.

n Red Threat of
General Strike
ROME, April 2 W) Italy may
be gripped by a general strike
at the time of her April 18 elec-1
tion test between the communist
led Italian general confederation
of labor (CGIL), some 600,000,000
strong.
CGIL President Dl Vittorlo, a
Communist, said In Palermo,
Sicily, the executive committee
will call the strike April 8 unless
police have found Placido Riz
zotto, a missing Sicilian labor
leader by that time. -.
If there is a strike, it will last
until the case is solved. Workers
will quit for an hour the first
day, two hours the second, three
the third and so on. That would
mean a 10-hour layoff the day
befort Sunday election. The first
day, public service employes un
like others, would go out ouly a
quarter of an hour.
With , fresh political violence
reported at many points and the
left shouting accusations that the
right is plotting an uprising for
the eve of the elections, the gov
ernment announced plans to
parade troops In Rome bunday.
The War Ministry said army,
air, finance guard and police units
would be reviewed by the defense
minister to mark creation of an
infantry division.
Latest disorders in the politi
cal campaign included one new
twist -Palmiro Toeliatti. Italy's
No. 1 Communist, was booed and
hooted at Leece, in the south.
