FUTILITY OF CONTROLS
By CHARLES V. SI ANTON
The price war on "fair trade" items has reached Rose
burg. Buyers are getting a break. Many people doubtless
will take' advantage of reduced prices to stock up on some
of the brand-name goods, or to buy items they previously
were unable to afford.' .
News from other localities indicates that the public is
jrreatly interested in the battle being waged over items
which previously carried a fixed charge.
These were items which the manufacturer specified had
to be sold at a certain uniform price. Retailers were forced
to azree to this "fair trade" price before being allowed to
stock the merchandise.
The supreme court recently held that these contracts
were not binding, opening the way for retailers to make
drastic price reductions.
Small merchants are complaining bitterly that the ex
isting price wars are unfair competition; that they can't
meet prices on many of these items and, consequently, may
be crowded out of business by the chain outfits.
All over the nation, the price war is attracting much
attention, interest and participation. Retail sales are soar
ing, following a prolonged "slow" period. It is interesting to
note that the number of s.-rtes items, or "leaders," are lim
ited. The customer attracted to the store by a bargain, usu
ally buys other articles remaining at normal prices.
Inventories Being Reduced
The current war on prices is looked upon by many ob
pervers as beneficial to national economy.
Warehouse inventories are extremely high, particularly
on durable goods. Production is setting new records.
It Is reported that May stocks of durable goods in the
hands of retailers increased $150 million in 30 days. Manu
. facturers' inventories of home furnishings rose $1.9 million
during May.
At the same time the number of employed workers in
May was 61,193.000, leaving unemployment at 1,609,000, low
est since the end of the Second World War.
The fact that so many people were employed showed an
extremely large purchasing power. People have money. Rut
slow sales indicated that the money was being hoarded,
.is frequently occurs when the public mind is filled with
fear and uncertainty. People presently are fearful of the in
flationary spiral and are protecting themselves against fu
ture rises.
Personal income, it Is calculated, amounted to $211.4 bil
lion during the month of April, an increase of $1.5 billion
over the month of March.

Economists tell us that the price war will have several
good results.
It will serve to reduce inventories of merchandise in the
hands of retailers and manufacturers. It will clear ware
houses for goods rolling off production lines at unprece

continue the record rate of production, thus keeping national

American Women, Showing Machine

On Coin Machines, Artist Declares
l!y HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK (AT) Will American women ever be
tockrd on coin-vending machines just like candy bars
and cigarets?
A well-known artist fears they are becoming so stand

"They reflect the factory age so much," sighed Paul
Meltsner, "that 1 look forward to the time when you can go
up to a machine marked 'woman,' put in a coin, and select
the standard model you want."
This form of mechanical court- i :

man, charmed by its convenience. ,
But it is gruesome for Meltsner to i
contemplate, because he believes

Secretary of State Dean Acheson's constant references
to the happiness enjoyed by Chiang Kai-Shek as a result of
Russia's taking over Chinese ports and railways is hogwash.
Chiang wasn't even invited to Yalta where the U. S. and
Russia sliced up China to Soviet advantage. This was only
the beginning of the sell-out. Chiang fought a losing war in
trying to keep the Chinese Communists out of his backyard
from then on. The reason is simple.
The State department boxed in
the Nationalist Chinese leader with
a crew of wild-eyed Russian lov
ers, including Henry Wallace, who
had somehow gotten himself
elected vice president.
Wallace was wandering all over
China with hay in his hair, explain
ing to Chiang that all he had to do
was cooperate with the Soviet I'n
lon and the Chinese Communista
in order to have peace.
Standing on the sidelines and put
ting io their two - bits worth f
happy talk for the Communists,
were John S. Service. John Carter
Vincent and the Baltimore Bugle,
Owen Lattimore, who was always
running off on State department
miasiont. Now, of course, nobody
at the State department, from
Acheson on down, seems to remem
ber just who you mean when you
mention Lattimore.
To really appreciate this crew
you have lo read the report they
aent back to the State department
as result of their working over
Chiang to persuade him to be nice
to the Reds. Every time Chiang
would shake .his head over their
gabbing about the peaceful inten
tions of the Communists, Wallace
and his gang slipped in the knife
with a gentle reminder that if
Chiang failed to play ball U. S. aid
would dry up.
Notes on the Wallace - Chiang
conversations, with the Baltimore
Bugle doing the translating, are
replete with occasions when Chiang
balked only long enough for Wal
lace and his crew to come up with
another warning.
The Russians also played up to
Chiang during this period. Every
now and then some State depart
ment official would trot over to
Chiang's house and slip him a little
gossip about how much the Rus
sian leaders admired him. Stalin,
in fact, let it drop that in his opin
ion Chiang was the only Chinese
leader capable of unifying and re
building postwar China. This, of
course, also was the State depart
ment line until Russia changed
her mind about Chiang. Out State
department acted just like anv
other branch office of the Polit
buro. Chiang suddenly became a
thief and an incompetent militarv
general, and was charged with
lacking the support of his people.
If he was nothing else, Chianc
was probably the most confused
human on earth by the time Wal
lace and his entourage got through
working him over. All the whil"
Service, Vincent, Lattimore and
Wallace were patting Chiang on
the back and promising a lot of
V. S. help, they were hustling off
afte,- dark to visit Chinese Com
munist leaders.
( hiang had his secret police keep
tabs on the Wallace gang and what
they found out must have con
vinced Chiang that he was getting
the business. But there wasn't
much he could do. lie needed V
S supplies and 'was smart enough
to know that the only way he would
get them would be to "cooperate"
with Wallace's program.
When a sentaor asked Acheson
about all of this, the secretary of
Sta'e said that nobody ever went
to China representing this govern
ment who was not wholeheartedly
in support of Chiang and his poli
cies. The secretary of Stale did
not know what he was talking
about. In October, of 1944, Service,
who was political advisor to II. S
military leaders in China, sent a
secret memorandum back to Wash
ington that left Chiang with knives
sticking out all over his back. This
was at the time when we were
trying to get Chiang's fighting
forces in shape to reopen attacks
on the Japs. Chiang had only been
fighting the Japs for seven years
then, but he agreed that he could
do them more damage if we sent
along a few guns and officers to
help train his troops. But Service,
a political military advisor to
American generals supposed to he
