ATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alusta Newspapers, 1011 rican Building, Seattle, Wash PRICES f;fii“\'lNG If you think prices are h\gh now, you just “aint | seen nothin’ yet!” Such, in substance, was the statement last week of Miss Harriet Elliott, associate administrator of the Office of Price Administration, who talked about higher prices yet and warned consumers of inflation which is “just around the corner” unless federal price control legislation can ward it off. Wholesale food prices and prices of other farm products are on the increase much more rapidly than in the first two years of the first World War, Miss Elliott declared. In the first two years of the first war, Miss Elliott stated, food prices went up 184 percent. In the first two years of this war, food prices have gone up 29 percent, Farm products went up 12.6 percent in the first two years of the last war, increased 43.1 percent. On the other hand, textile prices went up 43.6 percent in the first two years of the last war and have increased but 28.6 percent during the past two years. And building materials increased in price 27.2 percent the first two years of the first war and have gone up only 16.7 percent in a like period this war. Referring to wholesale prices, Miss Elliott listed a few items which we all buy and showed how these prices to dealers have increased. For instance, overalls last month were 35 percent | higher at wholesale than in 1939. Work trousers at wholesale were up 37 percent. Wool rugs were up 23 percent: Wts up 42 percent. - Butter, up-48 ' percent, Canned pink salmon, up 52 percent. Dried ' but this time they have | wholesale prices may not yet have reached the re- tail buyer. But nothing can be done now to pre- vent retail prices from zooming and taking the cost of living sky-high with them. The retailer who h paid these higher wholesale prices can not at his old prices and stay in business. Government officials say our hope of keeping wolf from stealing our bank accounts federal price control. They.- may be right situation seems to call for more than just setting of ceiling prices.

Then, too, if the federal government .gets no | more cooperation from some industrial and labor |groups in price control than has been received in the defense program, price control may become a long, slow process, with many more price increases before prices are stabilized. | | FROM POTS TO PLANES | . American housewives who complained that, “My |old aluminum pot won't go very far toward building lan airplane,” were surprised thi§ week when total | | results of the national drive for old aluminum were |announced. According to the ,Office of Civillan Defense, |which managed the national aluminum round-up, |the drive which lasted the week of July 21 to 29, |netted enough aluminum to make more than 1,900 |fighter planes or 350 four-motored bombers. This report takes into consideration only the scrap aluminum donated during the one-week drive in the States. It does not includg the aluminum |} « drives in some sections, which were staged after | !the national campaign. Certainly, it does not in- clude the aluminum raised in drives in the terri- | tories, 3,500 pounds of which were shipped from | | Juneau as the result of a drive here sponsored by | the Rotary Club. | But these incomplete figures of the Office of Civilian Defense showed a total of 11,835,139 pounds | collected, or about a third of a pound on the aver- |age from every occupied dwelling in the nation. It is estimated that this tonnage will yield about ‘17,000,000 pounds of aluminum, and the balance in jiron and steel and other metals used as alloys with the aluminum in pot and pan construction. i Of the total collected, 97.4 percent, or all but having defense preference ratings. This assures the uge of the aluminum collected in defense plants. The highest total collection in any state came from New Yorkers, who contributed 1,050,000 pounds of the metal. Second highest was Pennsylvania, with a total recorded contribution of 900,000 pounds. Massachusetts was third with a total of 699,150 pounds. Highest contributors per dwelling were the Rhode Islanders, who threw their pots in the collection | piles at the rate of 1.088 pounds of metal for every | ‘accupied house in the state. Second place in this | | division went to Nevada, where almost three-quarters lof ‘a pound per home was donated, and in third | 310,000 pounds, was immediately allocated to smelters | beans, up 76 percent. place was the Mormon stronghold, Utah, with a In many cases, the full impact of these hlgher contribution average of 0.716 pounds per home.

But the State Department object- ed—and for a highly unexpected reason. claimed that a Chinese mission to Moscow would offend Japan, The United States was trying to woo Japan away from the Axis, they argued, and so nothing must be done to rub the Japanese fur the wrong way. In the end, Japan reaffirmed its partnership in the Axis; but only after the U. S. mission to Moscow already had started, also after Nazi | victories in Russia seemed on the upgrade once again. So the ap- peasement policy of the State De- partment got nowhere, NOTE—Key to Japanese policy of friendship for the United States or allegiance to Germany always is the barometer of Nazi military suc- cess. If Hitler is winning, Japan will stick by him; and if the U. 8. A, looks stronger, it is vice versa. U. 8. MILITARY ATTACHE General John Magruder was re- cently appointed head of the U.

Wi is given that acts of treachery to be expected. Again there will be clever unexpected movements of Nazi troops. Berlin's chart is ad- verse for economic resources. More new treaties and programs are in- dicated. Complete changes in the aggressor’'s methods may- be ex- pected. Persons whose birthdate it is may look for gains in business and financial holdings, but friends or relatives may cause losses or fric- tion. Children born on this day will be keen, clever and critical. They probably wfll be fond of success and all the good things of life.

Astrologers warn that agitation to encourage the United States as intermediary is one of the most dangerous of fifth column devices. According to the reading of the stars the complete elimination of Hitler and the Nazi scheme of things is the only hope of future security among nations. | There are many signs on the heav- ens that seem to indicate that Hit- ler is to lose absolutely all power gained by aggression and treach- ery. | INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: As Uranus moves into Gemini new areas of war will be involved in the World War. Turkey could not | escape being caught in the mesh of conflict. In sudden and start- ling moves this month Hitler will reveal how completely he has had to change his plans which includ- ed the early subjugation of Rus- sia. Through a secret message from a Hungarian general, Stalin is said to have been informed of the Fuehrer’s designs on Russia and thus to have made hasty defense preparations. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of di- verse experiences. Average success is indicated but there may be quar- rels with friends or associates. Children born on this day prob- ably will be lucky in most ways, but mutations of fortune may be numerous. Love affairs are likely to be dramatic.
