CHERRY Publisher WORLD TRADE AND EMPLOYMENT That leaders of business in the United States are fully awake to the part American industry must play in postwar employment, is made evident by the formation of the Committee on International Economic Policy, 18 Pine Street, New York 5, New York. Fifty-fou- r outstanding men in industrial, educational and religious groups at present compose the Committee which will seek to further the serious and competent consideration of the issues which confront all the free peoples of the world and which imply their useful cooperation in reconstructing their economy after the victory of the United Nations." To that end the Committee will welcome the cooperation of organizations and individuals, and will be happy to receive the comments and suggestions which it hopes that the publication of a series of papers from its Advisory Committee on Economics may call forth. The Committee seeks an exchange of views with other committees engaged in postwar studies, and states: Employment is more than a national problem. It is an international question, the solution of which can be found only in the expansion of world tradd and economic cooperation. . . .The traffic must y Trade is a be street. . . .A fair adjustment of trade barriers is essential to promote balanced trade development."

All high explosives depend upon coal. Every ton of coal a miner mines produces d enough steel to make a bomb. Fifty-fiv- e per cent of all mechanical energy used in the United States is produced by coal, because 55 per cent of all electric power in the United States is produced by coal. The energy contained in the coal mined daily in the United States is equal to the energy of 500 per Niagra Falls. Ninety-fiv- e cent of railroad locomotives are powered by coal. The equivalent of 1 lk billion tons was hauled between New York and San Francisco by coal burning locomotives in 1942. And this is not all. Eighty-fiv- e per cent of all war plastics that go into such items as bomber noses, gas masks, shell noses, radio apparatus, telephones, pontoons, propeliors, skis, life rafts, and lacquers require processed .bituminous coal as a base.

Demands for wage and salary increases have been made with an eye on but one objective holding fast to maximum individual livBut sooner or ing standards. later, the public must face the fact that industries as well as individuals have a problem. The railroads are a good illustration. They have worked hard and have earned money. And like millions of thrifty Americans, they have used their earnings wisely, reducing debts and, when possible, after the tax collector was through, set something aside for a rainy .day. However, their cost of living has been rising steadily. April was the eleventh consecutive month in which net earnings were below comparative year earlier figures. The steady drop in net earnings while the railroads are hauling more freight and passengers than ever before, is directly attributable to soaring operating (living) costs over which they have no control wages, taxes, materials and supplies. If the country expects continued efficient railroad service, it must consider railroad costs of living. Calling for public understanding of such problems, the President of one ime warns that: Changes necessary to meet cost-of-livi- and to operate competition economically and efficiently will require the expenditure of vast sums of money to the railroads. . . .No feat of legerdemain will provide the money. It must come out of earnings, and the credit of railroads must be vigorously pro' tected. The railroads cannot forever increase efficiency and reduce operating costs sufficiently to meet increased taxes and operating costs out of the same old rate dollar.

Redmond News Mrs. Mar Mickelsen, Reporter More than fifty-fiv- e thousand doctors are serving in the armed forces. A years ago they were busy carying on medical practices and betering the health of the communities in which they lived. War removed them to far away corners of the world. y But they still find time to vital questions affecting the medical profession. A medical officer recently addressed a plea to every physician and medical organization on the home front. He said: Please help keep the 'practice of medicine out of government control. Commenting on this mute appeal, Medical Economics says: Every medical society in the country should have a committee to help preserve free medicine. Such committees should tell the doctor in service about the problems theyre up against and how theyre attempting to counter them. Let them assure him that if it is humanly possible to do so, his civilian colleagues will keep political opportunism out of medicine. More than anything else, the men who are fighting for us want a chance after the war to pick up where they left off. The least we at home can do is to try to assure them that chance. Legislation of the Wagner variety (to socialize the medical, profession) must not be permitted to pass at a time when so many of our profession are absent from the country on active duty. Theyre entitled to express themselves at least on a proposal that would, if adopted, revolutionize the practice of their profession. fv con-sid- The Misses Fay and Lue Ann Jensen spent last week as guests of their sister and brother-in-laMr. and Mrs. Bronzel Pickett, in Provo.

DENTIST ip IT'S ABOUT TIME! Mary and I were just saying, Judge, how lucky we are here in America that we have so many natural resources to help win the war." Thats right, Jim.

But that didnt bother us for long. Soon American brains and industry had synthetic rubber by the tons rolling out of plants. That filled a critical need . . . you cant win a war without rubber. DR.
