Storekeep ers are willing to miss sales rath er than sell customers inferior items. " 1 Housewives, war workers and others who -purchased : something like $60,000,000,000 worth of mer chandise in 1943 also will notice more ' jBelf -service" departments . . "- A Because ul iewct sjucs cie&s. a potential shortage r of wrapping paper may force customers to car ry items "as is." These problems were discussed by government officials and mer chandising experts with about 3000 retailers attending the 33rd annual convention of the National Retail Dry Goods association, which ended Friday after a five- - day meeting dedicated to victory end postwar planning. " Experts warned the merchants to keep inventories low because of . an expected early end of the war in Europe. They generally were advisd to seek a quick turnover by :.. buying goods not more than about three months in advance. Most retailers said they were disposing of inferoir substitute merchandise during January in clearance sales with most of such goods marked down to cost and : sometimes below that. Retailers -arediet hard reeds electric iretts and ether articles manufactured treat metals will. be mere plentifml by next May or Jane. The wool situa-. tion also is expected te be eas- ler. The merchants were advised to form a separate corporation to it help dispose of some of the esti mated $75,000,000,000 in govern ment war surplus goods which re tailers fear might be thrown on r the market in an unorderly fash ion. It was suggested part of such merchandise should be kept for the armed forces, some given to the American Red Cross and. a fraction sent to needy European countries. ..-.., Most "retailers, are in favor of throwing overboard all wartime S developed goods as soon as hostil lties end and re-stocking their stores with pre-war favorites. Much of the good rayon now is - going in army tires and similar military articles. ... By using - this high-strength rayon, the industry can produce service weight hos iery which will be as good as silk.

Every military advance will bring up 4 new batch of these political problems. The question in each case: What kind of government or whose gov ernment will the allies set up in power or support? Already the Russians are in Po land. When they advance in the south, they will go into disputed Bessarabia,! As the Germans re treat in the north, ,the red army will move 'into the Baltic states. Then Finland wili be separated from the Germans, free to get out of the war against Russia. If there's an Anglo-Americair invasion, of the TtiVnnT what about Yugoslavia's government? And Greece?
