But since it is. the Soviet Union which would have to furnish weapons for any expansion of conflict in the Far East, the So viets have a weighty say in Peking's decisions. 1 Position: Is Plain ;The position of Moscow is plain enough td justify a few general predictions on the So viet line in 1954- The Soviet leaders have not topped being Communists just because Stalin died. But the death of Stalin; did create a new situation for them. Jt became necessary to slow down the previous timetable for Communist advance and j mend political and economic fences at home. I i Agricultural Crisis Religion Student Conference Religious faith on the college campuses of the nation was re flected this week in the expres sions of a conference of Metho dist students. Approximately 2,500 of them, from 500 colleges and, universi ties across the country, met in Jawrence, Kan., to voice) their loyalties to spiritual values. . It was one of the biggest stu dent 'religious gatherings in re cent years.

Always, of course, the most impressive of recurring celestial performances are eclipses of the sun and moon. In 1954, most of ! the United States is promised three of them one of the sun and two of the moon. Most people can expect to see many eclipses of the moon in a lifetime. Usually two occur each year. However, any one qbserv er is fortunate if he sees more than one Jotal eclipse of the sun within a lifetime. j Actually there are many more sun than moon eclipses, but one! must be in the right part ! of the I j world at the right time in order j ito see them.

Japan sought to gain her former domi nance of Asiatic textile markets. I Increasing Competition u. S. manufacturers ran into foreign competition both at home and abroad. Low labor costs gave the foreigners an edge; American businessmen in many cases found it impossible to I match foreign prices. Dis satisfaction over foreign trade policies mounted as U. S. manu facturing tapered off (the Com merce Department reported just th other day that slackened production in many lines of manufacturing had reduced fac tor employment by 700,000 since early summer).

A similar view had been ex pressed a fortnight ago by a pro fessional economist in Congress, Sen. Douglas (D-Ill,), who de clared that American business already was in the f midst of a "real recession."; I James C. Hagerty, presiden tial press secretary, said that the policy of channeling more de fense contracts into;; unemploy ment . areas had not been prompted by any recent devel opments. Rather, he-said, it was designed to relieve; joblessness in areas where it has existed "quite a few years.' The program also provides that defense plants; located in areas where unemployment has been high over a considerable period should be given a rapid tax write-off. If The manpower 'policy also calls for: 1 firms in labor surplus areas to submit bids on all procurement for which they are qualified. The Commerce and Labor De-j partments have been ordered to give technical help to areas try ing to attract new industries.

They voted 6Mt billion dollars in U.S. aid to friendly foreign nations. All signs indicated, however, that the Great Debate was yet td come. Military shipments a prime factor in keeping U. S. exports at a high level have been fall ing rapidly of late. For many U S. manufacturers that will mean a sharp decline in foreign business. lit is widely predicted that tl S. merchandise 'exports in 1954 including military ship ments under the Mutual Secur ity Program will fall consider ! ably short of the estimated 1953 total of 15 billion dollars. Im ports, pegged at about 12 billion for 1953, may inch a little higher. Export business should con tinue good; many foreign na- fjtions have added substantially during the past year to their gold and dollar holdings and have more money to spend on American products.
