In his .report, Nehru said, In foreign policy e have endeav ored in our own small way: to throw our weight on the side of peace and to keep ourselves but of military and other commit ments. Naturally such policy is criticized.,V i Communism "brings in its train conflict and violence and authori tarianism and suppression of the Individual" despite its "promise to satisfy certain essential humand needs," he said. There is no reason, he added, why "economic security, without sacrificing democratic liberties" cannot be developed in "a new type society whose chief purpose is welfare1 of the people, not only !& material and living standards but in things of the spirit Referring to Indian's annual population growth of nearly 4,000, 00, Nehru said: "K,irf clear the state must en courage family planning or birth control.

For four generations Longines and Wittnauer Watches have been sold through such Authorized Jeweler Agencies, and tthe public has . received excellent value fine service, full satisfaction. I RUMORS came to us during the past week that certain stores were attempting to. buy from various retail jewelers quantities of Lon-j gines-Wittnauer Watches for the purpose of putting on a sale Now, let us use common sense. Retail stores are in business forfono - - -1 i , i ! purpose only to make a profit. WE CANNOT KNOW what goes on in the minds of store mana-j gers, but we do know that no store can stay in business unless It makes I prof it. Therefore it is reasonable to suppose that they might be thinking along I these lines: "The public has a high re ?- ' ' - , j . i gard for Longines-Wittnauer Watches people know them as the finest quality and the greatest value we will buy some, if neces sary at retail, and advertise them, if necessary at a loss but we will attract thousands of people to our store.". j MR. & MRS. NEW YORK, we think you will agree with us when we say that price cuts on fine quality, standard brand articles are sometimes offered to attract you to the store in order to sell you regular merchandise at regular profits." 1 v j -"If: . IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST, Longines-Wittnauer is taking legal action to prevent its watches from being exploited in this manner. We are in favor of the lowest possible retail prices consistent with quality and service, and Longines-Wittnauer Watches are so pric? ed; but we are also in favor of good honest merchandising, of truthful advertising, and of the right kind of service for the own ers of our watches, service which is performed under our guar antee by our Authorized Jeweler Agencies only j - HERE IS ANOTHER POINT worth thinking about. The econj, omy of our country is based on "Live and Let Live." If the em ployer did not pay the j employee a living wage, the economy would fall if the manufacturer or distributor did not cover hit cost of doing business, the economy would fall; if the Government did not collect its taxes,1 the economy would fall. Bargain prices will be no bargain if the result is chaos and depression. ; LAST WEDNESDAY, Mrs John W. Anderson, President of the .
