Show "According' To Plan" As near as we are able to judge, the war in Europe is proceeding "according to plans," if we are to believe the communiques issued issu-ed by the various war ministries. This "according to plans" business busi-ness is somewhat mysterious. Whether an army advances or retreats, re-treats, the home front is always regaled with the observation that the development has been "according "ac-cording to plans." Whether the war is proceeding "according to plans" or not, it is quite plain that the effects of the war on the people of the United States is not "according to plans." Business and industrial leaders are beginnng to suspect that there may not be such a demand for materials as they expected. With the belligerent nations apparently hesitant to begin large-scale operations, op-erations, which would result in considerable destruction, it is possible pos-sible that a war of this type will not require the tremendous supplies sup-plies which were used during the World War. For the benefit of any citizen of Sanpete Valley who may be temtped to speculate in "war commodities," we point out that some experts now believe that it may be possible for the British and French to get along without excessive buying in the United States. Until it is established that this is not the case, it might be just as well for our speculators to follow the examples of the armies maintaining themselves in readiness but carefully refraining from an overt act. |
