The Fittest Willi Survive f I
For thousands of young men their wartime dream of "a
little business of myjown' is coming true. In Salem, and nearby
communities, - as throughout the nation,, many jjof them started
with little more than a GI loan and, unbounded optimism, but
they are making good. . ji 1 -
At first it was easy. Hie war, which had stimulated mergers,
comtetition and rivalry, also created the great demand which
gave the inexperienced small businessman achluice
thing" at any price. Backed by easy credit, eas$ bank loans and
government loan guarantees, hamburger stanrds, ; radio repair
shops and service stations sprang tip everywhere.
The birth rate? ojf new businesses climbed higher: than popula
tion increases. The V. S. has at least ZVz per cent more inhabi
tants now than in 1940; it has gained 15 J per cent more business
establishments. The Pacific states and New England are the only
Regions where, business increase has not surpassed population
Increase. In some areas, the per cent of business growth is four
times that of population growth. I J
.In 1941, 448,000 new enterprises were started. In 1946, the
birth rate leaped td 750,000 a year. Of the 3,870,000 individual
places of business now going concerns, one ouf of every four is
new. Of the young firms, 97 per cent are small businesses because
half the veterans who went into the field chosej the retail trades
or service line's and average about eight employes:-
" Some clouds have appeared, however. Earjfy this year, new
business ventures fell off to a rate of 340,000,jand "discontinu
ances' have been increasing rapidly. Thousands of disappointed
young merchants are throwing out their rose-colored glasses
and filing bankruptcy. . Apprdximately217,0(ji0 establishments
will go out the hard way this year. (In 1940,; 361,000 died and
in 1942, 604.000 faded from the scene when owners and employes
were drafted.) t '
The margin between flower-bedecked opening days and
crepe-hung Windows is growing smaller. There weip 221 per
cent more failures in 1947 than in 1946. Last year, seven-times
as many furniture and house furnishings stores collapsed as the
year before. Xhe lines that are failing first anji fastest are those
most young managers thought would be easiest-Ismail electric
appliance stores, restaurants, night clubs, frosted food plants,
fox fur farms and similar enterprises . . . most pt them originally
under-capitalized. ! .
The mortality is caused by several factors. One is Jack of
managerial know-how. At first, consumer deniand made up for
Gaany mistakes but competition is tougher now- and buyers are
more particular about where and what they purchase ahd how
much they pay. Shortages of merchandise also ruiried many new
comers before their feet were firmly planted. J
Despite these, figures, the picture is not (gloomy. The 1946
boom could riot last indefinitely and the leveling out process
was inevitable. The fact remains that there ar$ still more people
"being lured into View enterprises- than are bf ing crowded out,
and many of them: are headed for success. Thk spirit of Horatio
Alger is as strong las ever; 1
Hartley's Inquiry
Congressman Hartley, co-author of the Taft-Hartley law,
announces a new investigation to round up the commies in - the
labor movement. There are a good many of them there, all right.
Some unions are tadly infested with them. Always their guide
is the party line, their goal the establishment,-of the communist
state. They have no interest in trades unionism as such, nor in
collective bargaining, with a viewto peaceful settlement of ques
tions about wages and working conditions. fThey seek to stir
up strife and trouble, to promote strikes, to prevent settlements.
, Fortunately the leadership, in the labor union movement both
CIO and AFL is strongly anti-communist..

eomfortsofa peoples' prison,
he soon' "will.
"Tsola Dragoiche-
E Stewart Akop iva, heroine of
s- 'Bulgarian com
munism, has been ruttuessly rele-?
gated- to plaintive obscurity. In
Russia's eastern German province,
communist leader Otto Grotewhol
has loudly demanded a purge of
"diversioniSt and obstructionist"
elements. But this sort of thing is
only the beginning. The real ques
tion is how far the purge will
go and what technique the Soviet
overlords will use to bind the So
viet empire with hoops of steel. .
Military Holds Control
The" Soviet masters will have
liltle difficult in Poland. Ruma
nia, eastern Germany and Hungary.
The reason is simple. In these areas
the Red Army and the Soviet se
cret police, the M.V.D., are al
re?dy openly present. The whip
is there to crack. But where there
is no army and M.V.D. whip, es
pecialy in Albania. Czechoslovakia.
Bulgaria and Finland, steps will
almost certainly be taken to pro
vide one.
The most. interesting case is
Albania's. ' Albania has always
been considered . a satellite of
Yugoslavia. A glance at the map
is enough tc&explain why. Al
bania is completely fenced in by
Yugoslavia. Yet Premier Enver
Hoxhas defiance of Tito is a mea
sure of the pressure which the
Kremlin is capable of bringing to
bear. 'r
The pressure of Bulgaria can be
more direct. There Dictator Di
mitrov some months ago openly
suggested the Balkan federation
which the. rebellious Tito has now
indorsed. Dimitrov at that time
was rudely slapped down by the
Kremlin, but he has not yet re
jected Tito's ' invitation. Even if
he does so, a wholesale purge of
doubtful elements in Bulgaria is
virtually- certain.
Ruse May Be Used
The several tens of thousands
of Red Army and M.V.D. troops
left behind in Bulgaria after the
Soviet "evacuation" may be suffi
cient to make sure that the job
is done. If not, Bulgaria may be
required' fo "invite" units of the
Red Army to re-enter the country,
to "protect the Bulgarian people's
democracy" against 'Western im
perialist aggression.
It is quite possible that Czecho
slovakia may be required to ex
tend a similar invitation. Indeed,
Prague is perhaps the first place
to look for trouble. Czechoslo
vakia's submission was recent and
reluctant. Soviet deliveries of
promised raw materials have been
far behind schedule and the Czechs
are suffering from a severe bard
currency shortage. The Czech
standard of living, important in a
country where almost every adult
is at least comfortably stout on
a diet of five meals a day, has
Ipwered perceptibly since the com
munists took over.
Two Courses Faced
All- this must make Moscow
fear separation at Prague. Two
courses may therefore be adopted
by the Kremlin. Either the Czech
communist leadership may be sub
jected to. a ruthless purge, to re
move all but the completely- re
liable 100 per centers. Or, if the
purgees refuse to be pureed, the
invitation to the Red Army may
well be required, even though the
return of Soviet troops will arouse
rebellius horror in every Czech.
At a minimum, any Czech com
munist who Is even capable of
holding a conversation with a
Westerner and this category in
cludes Premier Gottwald, Foreign
Minister dementis and Interior
Minister - Nosek should begin to
wonder whether ljis doom Is
sealed. -
Finally, only time will. tell the
fate of Finland. The Finns are
already anti - communist. They
have been emboldened by Tito. As
this Is written, a free Finnish elec
tion is getting under way. These
are circumstances which could
produce almost any result.
Such are' some of the repercus
sions which may be felt within
the Soviet empire as a result of
Tito's v bold heresy.
Repercussions Noted
Elsewhere, repercussions are al
ready -observable the Berlin
problem, for example, 3ias ceased
to cause quite such anguished con
cern in Washington,. London and
Paris. And last but by no means
least,' there is reason to believe
that there will also be repercus
sions in Moscow ; itself.
Tbe best opinion holds that the
Yugoslav crisis is an outward and
visible sign of an inward and in
visible power struggle behind the
'dark walls of the Kremlin, More-,
oer, there is solid . evidence that

does not mean that Stalin's hold
; is seriously weakened, but it does
stiggest that the battle of succes
sion is already in progress. And
whatever may the battle may go,
one thing is certain. The need to
tighten the screws everywhere in
the new Soviet empire, with
which the defection of Tito has
confronted the Kremlin, will cer
tainly greatly increase .the strain
on the whole vast, monolithic
structure of Soviet power.
And if the struggle in the Krem
lin is already capable of mani
festing itself in so shattering a
way, one may assume that as the
strain increases the tension in the
Politburo will shortly reach some
sort of crisis.

Painful Migraine Headache ;
By Herman N. Bnndesen, M.D.
Periodic attacks of excruciating
headache on one side of the .head,
preceded by flashes of light before
the eyes and accompanied by nau
sea and vomiting, add to the con
dition known as migraine; one of
the most perplexing of all medical
puzzles. -
Dozens of theories have been ad
vanced to explain its pecular be
havior but evidence is lacking to
support many of them and none
has led to a completely successful
treatment Experts of more than
70 years ago believed migraine to
be due to spasm of the blood ves
sels in the brain and, even; today,
this theory is still favored by some.
Our constantly expanding knowl
edge of allergy has led to the Idea
that migraine may be due to over
sensitivity, and it is also suggest
ed that some disturbance of the
glands of Internal secretion may
play a role in producing this dis
ease. Vitamin deficiencies have
also been proposed as a cause.
Thorearh Exaaaiaatiaa
Sometimes a thorough examina
tion will reveal the source of the
trouble in the individual case and
here treatment can be directed at
preventing the recurrent bouts of
headache altogether. In the vast
majority of cases, however, no
definite cause can be found; hence,
treatment can only be useful in
stopping the attack as soon as pos
sible after it develops.
For this purpose, the most help
ful preparation seems to be one
known as ergotamine tartrate.
Drugs which dilate the blood ves
sels, and simple pain-relieving,

drugs do not seem, to be of much
value. ;
In using the ergotamine, it is
important that it be given in suffi
cient dosage as early in the course
of an attack as possible.
A derivative of, ergotamine,
known as dihydro-ergotamine me
thanesulfonate or . D.H -D.-45, has
also been employed with good re
sults. ReccBt Treatment
A more recent treatment consists
of the giving of a combination of
ergotamine tartrate with ..caffeine
by mouth, or by giving it combined
with a trephine in a suppository
which is administered through the
rectum. It has been found that
either of these treatments has been
more effective in relieving the mi
graine than the ergotamine alone.
During an attack, the patient
should be put at complete rest In
bed, preferably in a darkened
room.
The drugs mentioned above
should, of course, be administered
under the direction of a phvsician.
Questiaas mmd Answers
H. M.: What Is the danger of an
enlarged heart? Is it serious? . -
Answer: When a heart is en
larged it indicates that the heart
has been damaged, often as a re
sult of an infection or possibly
from a toxic goitre or hardened
arteries.
Whether or not the condition Is
serious depends on the degree of
enlargement and its cause.
A thorough study should be
made to determine the exact con
dition of the heart; then proper
treatment can be advised.
