' Monday. Jan. IS, 1148 Another Bataan Stand? With General Douglas MacArthur's return to Luzon, using the Lingayen Gulf door used by the Japanese three years ago, there Is natural speculation as to wnere me imai insmnne cnaoier 01 we drive to reconquer the Philippines will be written. MacArthur, who knows every foot of the big Island, chose Bataan peninsula for the last stand nearly three years ago. Will General Tomoyukl Yamashita follow his strat egy? Will he slug it out In a last stand on Bataan or will he retire to the mountainous eastern or south eastern Luzon? WE will probably have air and sea superiority and should eventually have enough men and equip, ment to off -set Yamashita's estimated quarter-million Japs defending the final Philippine stronghold. Radio Tokyo, in Sunday's English language broadcast, claims heavy losses for the invading American armada and points to the difficulty of maintaining our forces on Luzon. The notoriously inaccurate Tokyo-radio was probably wrong on the extent of American losses but was certainly right on tne Highly difficult problem of logistics. If this herculean task can be accomplished, and MacArthur and Nimitz believe that reasonably should not consume many This job of placing an and supplying its needs from bases 7,000 miles away is just another reason why nation about $270,000,000 our daily .tax revenue. It is sustained war bond buying ND those who "quarterback" the ensuing Luzon camnaien should not discount additional Ameri can landings in the south, probably from Marinduque and Mindoro. The brilliant strategy of the Lingayen landing, executed by Admiral Kincaid's fleet and General Krueger's Sixth army, on top of MacArthur s siand hopping tactics in Yamashita dizzy. Admiral Nomura said a when he told the Japs: "What Americans are think ing is that though the war win it." H.G.

The appeal snouiq receive ready and Outlook For Babton Fears They By Roger W. Babsen Babson Park, Fla., Jan. IS (Special Corespondence) Wall street is alwnys too bearish or too bullish. These brokers are honest, but very temperamental. Two years ago, when railroad stocks were selling for 80 of their present prices, the average Wall Streeter would not touch them. Today, at three times those 1943 prices, they are urg ing that rails be purchased. Railroad Stocks Have Advanced Many good thinss can be said for the railroads. They have done a wonderful Job during the war and are entitled to much credit. Many of the roads have sure, the Luzon campaign months. American army on Luzon this war is costing this a day more than twice just another reason why is so imperative. the south no doubt have mouthful the other dav will not be easv. thev will and relief for its victims in Jackson countv and course, evervona should . . . .wvu, u uvw.VM W.4 Dimes spreads the teach successtul Kenny method. m " patience and hard work. generous response. H.G. Rail Stocks Are Too High reduced their debt or now have large bank accounts. Also, they are benefiting from low Interest rates. They have a better stand ing with the government be cause they have demonstrated they are essential to winning the war. The U S. will henceforth protect its railroads as a part of any program for military pre paredness. It also should be remembered that the railroads must, to some extent, share with any prosper ity ahead. If we are to have a postwar national income of from iiuo to 1120 Billions a year, ine railroads postwar gross earn tnas must exceed their prewar I earnings. This I believe is pos sible ,but I ask, "Have the prices of meet rtfirosd stocks and In come bonds not already more than discounted tnlsi Disadvantages AIs Seen la Rail Shares The gross earnings of the rail roads will, however, not in crease proportionately to the na ttonel income. The railroads will have much more competition after the war than before. .The new great pipe lines which have been built will take away much of their oil business. The re sumption of both coastwise ship ping end river transportation should materially reduce the earnings of such roads as At lantic Coast Line, Seaboard and Illinois Central. Southern Fa' clfle, Atchison and other trans continental! will suffer from the opening of the Panama Canal. Also they will have more air plane and bus competition. Most railroads are today in poor shape physlcaUy. They must spend billions after the war not only for new equip mentbut for maintenance of roadbeds, tracks, bridges, fta tlons, etc. This maintenance is being greatly neglected today Personally, I had much rather buy the stocks of companies which sell equipment to the railroads thsn to buy the stocks of the railroads. Profit In Inflation Doubted For Ralls Some brokers claim that the railroads will profit from Infla tion, but I don't see this unless they get a greater Increase in freight rates. Ail these must be approved by the I.C.C. and these bureaucrats act very slowly. In creased rates seldom keep up to the increase in the prices of the hundreds of things wnicp the railroads must buy. Inflation will result In higher living costs which will mean that railroad labor will demand increased wages. Railroad en gineers, firemen, conductors, freight men, station agents and common labor ere well organis ed. As soon as the war is over they will demand higher wages and will get them. In fact, dur ing peacetimes, railroad labor has "skimmed the cream" about as fast as it rises, leaving only the skimmed milk for Investors. Net Earnings of Prime Importance AlthnusH enulnment concerns and railroad labor profit from large raiiroaq gross earnings, vet nra mnv see such greater gross earnings during the post' war peripa wiinouv invvoiuro profiting therefrom. Investors .r. Inioi-ocrpt nnlv In what the railroads have left as net earn ings after the increases in tne ..net nf lah.ir enulnment. sun- plies, etc. I now see little ehance for Increased net earnings, wosi things point to lower postwar net. Mnt hnlrlera of railroad stocks admit that lower net earnings and lower stock prices n nhnnH far the rail: but 90 of investors say: "We will wait until the war is over Dexore selling," I reply; "Tell me who le going to ,buy the rails when all you present holder try to sell at one time?" Unload Railroad ' Holdings, Advice Begin now to unload rati stocks end income bonds. Don't try to "hit the top." The fellows who buy from you must have some chance for a profit in 'or der for them to risk buying rails. Don't be a hog; but be satisfied with a fair profit. The longer we keep a good fish dangling on a hook, the better are his chances of getting offl Then we lose him altogether.

Savs It will save millions of tons of coal that is used to generate electricity. Of course It may save a lot for TV A as about 65 per cent of electrical power is de veloned by coal on the Tennes see river Instead of by water nower. Won't that be swell to put an eclipse on the United States every night under the pretense of emergency? This is about tha lousiest, idotlc notion ever to emanate from the White House nursery. And at the bottom of the third column Is another one. Mr. Vin son suggests that the cattle pro ducers concentrate on raising poorer grade cattle. The better trades to oe iimuea. wny au ferent? Just why should there be two kinds of meat grades? Haven't the cattlemen been try Ing to produce better cattle for years? Why should iney now concentrate on poor stock? And who will get the better meat? This propojal Is or should be a direct insult to an cauiemen. M. F. Allen. Trail, Ore. PERSEVERANCE PAYS Arlington, Vt 01.R) Com blnlng business with pleasure, schoolteacher Anna Vaughn car rled a rifle to and from class during tha hunting season and on the last day shot a six-point, 160-pound deer. News Behind The News By Paul MaOoo Washington, Jan. IS A New York economist is out with a pamphlet saying no Inflation Is coming. His point,, as I get it, le that nrleee are fix ed by law of supply and de mand, regard less of the gov ernment, cred it, money or anything else. As the produc tion capacity of the country In raid MaUaa farming as well mm tnanufaeturinM has been greetly increased during the war supplies will increase ana tner cannot be Inflation. This is new viewpoint be coming popular now and aired In many front-paged speeches predicting deflation. WELL now, let us see. bcot nomlsts ere nose-led by statistics. All their conclusions spring from figures. Let u look behind the figures a little, not for obscure facts, but to those which are known and obvious to every adult alive today. You walk into a restaurant and see a price celling list hang. Ing on the door. That price list will tell you prices have not ln creased mueh the past few years. The dollar dinner, say, is now only $1.25. But your senses will tell you a far different story. The. por tions on the dinner nave oeen cut possibly in half. Far cheaper foods have been substituted. IM quality has deteriorated frpm SO to too per cent, 'mere is no put ter served, no ketchup. You set a Daner nankin. There is no tablecloth. The service is (ess than half what it was on the old dollar dinner, as help is not available. Actually, what you get In that dinner for $l..s is less than half whet you formerly got for w m IS this not new type of In flation, yet undetected by the economists who follow statis tics? Is this not hidden inflation? Are you not really getting the old 60-cent dinner for S1.23 and therefore has not the price in creased 100 per cent or more, In stead oi tne ;a per cent snown on tne ceiling cnan at tne aoor and in the government statistics? I think this is undeniable. My father could buy for his dollar 20 loaves of bread, I can buy eight. This is a measure of inflation, but is it all? The bread I buy has deteriorated In quality, say SO per cent. Is not the con cealed inflation greater than the statistical one? The same situation is notice able in aU necessities of life, in some more than others. The price or gesoune na not oeen in. creased, but the quality deter ioration actually represents a tremendous price increase of 80 per cent or more. In meats, foods, liquor, cigarettes, the same process of conceeied inflation if at work. Indeed. It I apparent even in services, as well as good. You get far less work or greatly in ferior work for the limited wage Increases (with more vacations and other allowances including acceptable absenteeism), so that wage statistics no longer actual ly represent any comparison with old standards, but a doub ling and trebling of wages, not shown in statistics. THERE Is another wide-open avenue of concealed inflation the black market. What Is the Imoortance of a national statis tic showing no Increase In the price of certain goods in open trade, when such goods are not available in open trade, but can be purchased only secretly at double the lace price unaer tne counter? Is this practice not com mon at every cross roads in the land? Nothing will be accomplished by pretending this situation does not exist or is not important, jno problem was ever met that way. In my opinion, tne oniy tning that can break the process now or after the war is the restora tion of sound values. Prices, wages and aU the other statis tics mean little when quality of goods and services can so sharp ly deteriorate. Soundness must be re-established in them. Livestock Portland, Or.. Jan.
