(Cleveland Plain Deaier) Even the limited section of the German economic picture revealed in the semi- annual report of the Inwnnc of Eoconomic Inquiry points some of the de- ficiencies and dangers of totalitarian government. There is an acute labor shortage in the Third Reich. This sounds interesting until it is recalled Germany counts as employed those persons en- {‘ d on government work which in other nations | would be classified as relief projects. | The Nazis, when they came to power, made much | of woman's place being in the church, the kitchen and | ith the children. Women were dismissed from im- | ant posts in offices and the professions. But since then the employment of women'in the factories has increased. Women were shunted from well pay- | ing jobs so they would be available for more menial factory work. Now, according to the report, even more work be required of them. The report frankly states that the reserves of | man power tapped by the annexation of Austria and | Czecho-Slovakia produced a short-lived benefit that | has now disappeared.

It is disquieting to imagine the results, on a nation- wide | scale, had no staying hand been raised against such official conduct. Our national tranquility stems from the clear | definition of liberty contained in the constitution. Its application by the Supreme Court yesterday to the Jersey City situation illustrates aney the inestimable value of the constitution as a foundation for the entire American structure. Without it, there would I be no cure preferable to the ailment itself ir cases | where improper restraint begets violence, as it did in Jersey City.

It is promising tor short trips, unless airplanes are the means of transportation. Although the stars presage a re- markable increase in travel by air and many new safety inventions there may be an increase in the number of fatal accidents. This should be a favorable rule for aged persons. Their advice will be much sought and several elder statesmen will perform important services to the nation.

The young may engage in whirlwind courtships and impulsive marriages, but divorces are to be less common than formerly. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of happinecs and success. There may be an urge toward extravagance in dress and entertaining.
