Outlook for Business
, i ' ' "
A' Monday morning AP dispatch on busi
ness reads! , !. .; v"iv
, 'The uneasy truce just launched In Korea
is matched by uneasy business sentiment in "
toe United States."
.The Monday Wall Street Journal echoed
the sentiment: ' .1 , , ;
, "As an uneasy peace" settles over the tor
tured land of Korea, uneasy tremors shake
some of the important markets of the world."
A Monday afternoon UP dispatch said:
' No major setbacks to business or prosper
, ity at home are expected as result of the
1 korean armistice.' 5
The response in the New York stock mar
ket was a "hesitant decline," while grains
held steady.
Truth is that the truce had been coming
for so long a period that its effect was pretty
well discounted.. We have had declines in
commodity and grain markets as though in
anticipation of a windup of the Korean war
and a lessening of world tension. The metals,
except steel and aluminum, have suffered
price cuts, lead so much that it has been
bouncing back in recent days.
The outlook is for a further shift from a
war to a peace economy. But such are the
commitments for rearming that no sharp cut
backs in that quarter are in sight. More and
more, though, business will concern itself
with meeting civilian demand. There still is
the. vast American market "with its demands
wjiich are almost insatiable. The foreign de
mand depends on purchasing power in terms
of; dollars; but in that respect foreign coun
tries are much better off. Quoting again from
the Wall Street Journal:
"The shortage of dollars with which to buy
our goods that foreign. nations suffered from
for so many years seems as good as ever.
Since a year ago they have bought from us
$1 billion of our gold and have invested more
than half a billion dollars in the obligations
tof our government.!
It may well be that foreign-trade will ex
pand, unless our trade policies become more
restrictive.
;There is no occasion to be downcast, business-wise,
over the truce in Korea. Instead,
we ought to rejoice lor the release of energies
arid materials for constructive rather than
destructive purposes;
The future of business will be pretty much
what -webusinessmen, farmers, politicians,
workers, professional people make it to be.
No longer will business run just on war mo
mentum; but there are plenty of other energ
izing forces to keep it active indefinitely.
Three-D is really Three-D. There are Cin
erama, the 20th Century-Fox CinemaScope
and; now the Warner SuperScope. The public
will render the verdict after trial of the three.

its Czech colony calls for an
increase of 175 per cent of Czech
heavy industrial, armaments,
and chemical output. This means
in turn a tremendous increase
in the number of industrial
workers the number of work
ers in the famous Skoda arma
ments plants, for example, has
been quadrupled. Much of what
is produced goes to the Soviet
Union about 90 per cent of the
armaments, for example. At the
same time production of con
sumer goods has been sharply
reduced of necessity, while the
forced collective farm system
plus the drain of farm workers
tm the factories, has also heavily
reduced the already indaequate
Czech food supplies.
There can be only one result
of this sort of thing. A worker
cannot eat a machine gun, nor
can he live on a drop forge. The
Czech puppet rulers have tried
every conceivable device to
meet the industrialization goals,
including the assignment to
forced labor of more ' than
300,000 "kulaks, bourgeois, and
unreliables." Yet under this
system there Is simply no way
to avoid a steady, fearful de
cline in the real standard of
living of the workers. j
The recent currency "reform"
in Czechoslovakia, which bore
down most heavily on the petted
Stahkanovite workers and the
sleek party functionaries was
not . simply an act of wanton ,
economic cruelty. Unless the in
dustrialization goals were, an-:
thlnkably, to be abandoned, this
economic whip had to be used
o the backs of the workers. !

Judge Fee Merits Promotion
The impending retirement of Judge Clifton
Matthews opens the prospect of a vacancy on
the Ifinth Circuit Court of Appeals. Proposed
for that office is Judge James Alger Fee of
the Oregon district. It is pointed out that no
member, of this panel of judges now comes
from Oregon, the last to serve having been
the late Bert & Haney of Portland, The pro
: motion of the name of Judge Fee is not done,
. however, merely on the ground of geographi-'
c'al representation. Rather it is based on rec
ognition of - his superior qualifications, his
long experience on the federal bench, and his
probity as a judge.
. A native of Pendleton, graduate of Whit
man College and in law of Columbia Univer
sity, Fee served as circuit judge in Umatilla
County from1927 to 1931 when he was nam
ed to the district court in Oregon. For over
20 years he has served in this court, and has
: fulfilled-rnany assignments in other districts
over the country. He is known as a strict dis
ciplinarian in the courtroom, a fact which at- .
torneys and jurors have learned from Scran
ton, Pa to San Francisco, CaL': While lawyers
sometimes chafe under his strict rulings they
respect Judge Fee for his fairness, his knowl
edge of the law, and his abilitj to dispatch
business.
Promotion j to the Circuit ?Court of Appeals
would be more of an advancement profession
ally than salary-wise. It would put Judge Fee
on what is one of the most important courts
in the land. For the majority of federal cases
it is the court of last appeal because the Su
preme Court by no means accepts all cases
presented to it. On the basis of his merits as
judge and high character as a man the ap
pointment ought to go to, Oregon's Judge Fee.
If it does, then we hope some one of similar,,
high qualifications will be selected as his suc
cessor for the Oregon district.
Though relegated to the lowly District of
Columbia committee, Senator Morse is taking
its duties seriously. In fact, for "taking onM
Senator Dirksen in a debate on the district's
appropriation bill Morse got a banner head
line in the Washington Post. It seems that an
effort was being made to oust the district's
general administrator but Morse successfully
raised a point of. order against "legislating"
in an appropriation bill. At least the conten
tious senator isn't sulking on his committee,
eager as he is to get bacl$ his former commit
tee assignments.1
Early next month the State Highway Com
mission will sell $32 million road bonds, the
last of the sums authorized by the Legislative
Assembly. Fortunately for the state the mar
ket for municipal bonds is showing strength.
Maryland has just sold $25 million highway
bonds on a net interest cost of 2.584 per cent.
The lower the interest rate the less will be
the burden of interest payments which the
state will have to make during the life of the
bonds. We hope the offering has a callable
feature ' so they may be refunded if that
should become practical.
In a speech in Congress Rep. Passman of
Louisiana gave the latest available figures of
the national debts of various countries of the
world. That of the United States, at over $266
billion, was more than the total $207.5 bil
lion Of all the 68 other countries reporting
a national debt. Even in debts the U.S. is big
gest of all. Our national income, estimated at
just over $300 billion a year, is less than the
aggregate reported income of the 68 other
countries, $483 billion.

satellites, the workers are hag
ridden by hatred.
! The peasants, of course, share
this hatred. There were genuine
Jtitchfork rebellions in Germany
n June, and in Hungary the
peasants almost succeeded in
breaking up the collective sys
tem. The workers resistance
especially, moreover, has had a
curious Marxist - revolutionary
flavor, with the puppet regimes
Cast in the role of the evil "capi
talist exploiters.'
i This must surely have fright
ened the men in the Kremlin,
for in their eyes, after all, the
workers and peasants are the
makers of revolution. What
must have frightened the men
in the Kremlin at least as much,
is the unreliability of their hard
built local instrument f
52, J ww" f&J":
strated when Soviet troops and
tanks had to be used to. suppress
the German workers revolts.
There are variations, of course,
but the experts believe that the
"people's armies' and "people's
police" in other satellites also
cannot be trusted by their
Soviet masters to shoot down
their own countrymen.
The Soviet policy of forced in
dustrialization, in short, has
fostered a ferocious hatred for
the puppet regimes. This hatred
is concentrated among the
exploited workers, but it is so
general that even the direct
beneficiaries of the Communist
.regimes can no. longer be
trusted. It is not wishful think
ing to recognize the existence of
this mass hatred, or to argue
that it constitutes a profound
weakness in thet Soviet power
system. : t- .
Yet it is wishful thinking to
bout o disintegrate, to the
iMomnanimMit tit .hunt, nf nS'

psychological warriors.' For rea
sons which will be examined in
a further report, it is also wish-',
ful thinking to overlook the fact
that the Soviet policy of forced
industrialization of the satellites
has markedly increased the Sov-

D'Ewart bilL We doubt very
much if many county governing

fore it was introduced. There is
absolutely no relation between
county government and the graz

why should it send (or permit)

The counties of Oregon should
investigate this association and
see whether it confines ;its ac

ties have a proper interest. The
counties are on doubtful ground

as these: Columbia Valley Au

water policy of the federal gov

Many Issues Still unsolved
Despite Armistice In Korea
By J. M. ROBERTS, JR.
Associated Press News Amalyst
The United States, now has just
10 days to prepare for what is gen
erally recoftized in Washington as
a stern test of her diplomatic wis
dom. The government's experts have
been so tied up with arrangements
for the Korean military truce, and
the embarrassment caused by
Syngman Khee's last stand against
it, that they have had almost no op
portunity to study the course they
will take in the conference for po
heal settlements which is to come
And part of this time will have
to be devoted to what may turn
out to be considerably more than
routine maneuvering in the United
Nations. The exact' time and place
of the conference, and the nations
to be represented, will be decided
there at a meeting Of the Genera!
Assembly called for Aug. 17.
Nobod;' will be surprised if that
session itself takes some time,
since it is quite possible the Rus
sians will bring up again the ques
tion of Red China's admission to
U. N. membership, an especially
ticklish question among the Allies.
There Is just a possibility, too, that
Russia will want to attend the con
ference herself, because of its ef
fect on, the entire Communist
position ' in Asia, ' which could
cause an extended fight.
" !
la any case, the United States Is
expected to demand the full time
allowed under the armistice terms
In which to prepare its case for the
conference. So far it appears the
United States will carry , the ball
for the U. N. much in the same
fashion it has during the war. but
this is not, certain. Some of the
participating nations grew unhap
py under U. 5. command then, and
may seek to broaden the base of
JJ. N. representation now.
One of the fundamental matters
on which the Unite States still has
to make up its mind is whether it
wants to confine the conference to
Korean problems, or open up the
whole field of Asiatic disputes,
which is possible under the "etc."
clause of, the truce paragraph
which " sets out the conference's
purposes.- v

There seems ' to be some initial
tendency to : try -to confine the
