"If the country fails to take these corrective steps, a serious depres sion condition is almost certain to develop." said the CIO News.

It didn't caU it a fourth round in crease (there have been three since the war ended), but it spoke in general terms, saying: "Substantial wage increases will provide a great reservoir of buy ing power. They will help relieve the piling up of merchandise and the drop in Jobs" In the consumer goods Industries. Tor Common Good Corporation profit "must be trimmed for the common good,' the CIO said. "The high rate of profit is throwing the economy out of kll ter. It has led to cutting of prod' uction, and to limitation of ex panded production capacity," the paper said. The three-pronged program ls obviously called for," the CIO said, because full employment is threat ened now for the first time since the war. Game Warden Follows Aroma Of Frying Fish Game Warden R.
