If the United Nations backed by its experience and prestige is not capable of bringing about a solution of the German problem we wonder if another body con n V sisting of representatives from assorted nations can succeed at the job Well the Khrushchev proposal will be another lively subject of conversation as PresidentEisenhower and Prime Minister Macmillan confer in and near Washington about allied strategy for meeting the Russian challenge with reference to Berlin The meeting between the two is starting under rather favorable auspices Macmil- -' lan's position "to 'combine firm principles with readiness to negotiate" is also the Eisenhower position And Krushchev announced in Moscow that if the western powers "are prepared to start talks in real earnest we would nor be found wanting" Important events appear to be in the offing PEARSON X ill i' I I ill 1 I Summit Okay Looms to Assist Macmillan Victory in Ballot I "WASHINGTON — You can writehuff However the message was it down as almost certain that the slow in reaching the British em-chi- ef thing to come out of the Mac- - bassy in Moscow and by the' time it meetings will be did the prime minister had decided jig!

From smoke and fumes drawn from converter furnaces This means it is a byproduct but what a byproduct is has become when its supply and demand index is one of industry's business barometers Kennescope's article on sulphuric acid offers more evidence of the vast amount of fascinating information to be obtained from aspects of American industry J YEARS AGO 50 r! 11 1!
