At first glance this may seem to indicate continuation of the salutary prewar trend toward a more even dis- tribution of population. But such an interpretation, | careful reading of the Census Bureau's data will how, would be thoroughly misleading. One of the great decentralizing forces during this abnormal four-y pericd was the induction of men into the armed forces. Young men in great nuinbers were drawn from all parts of the country, and a large percentage of them were sent to the Southern States for training. That gives the South the appearance of a population increase, but that is more apparent than | real. Few of the Army camps are likely to be in-l' habited after war, and many of the Southern workers | who have migrated North to take war jobs may never Industries yepyurn to their homes. The ultimate result may thus be a loss of population to the South because of the war. The gains recorded for the West are doubtless less temporary because of the more widespread devel- cpment of war industry in several of the Pacific| INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Coast and Intermountain States.

While the meat packers howl about how they can’t make jany money, OPA officials are |scratching their heads as they read the industry’s profit figures. Eight major companies averaged from 1936 to 1939 a profit of $22,332,000 per year before paying taxes—$17,- 472,000 per year after taxes. But in 1944 their profits before taxes were $153,193,000 and after taxes $44,110,000. In 1941, however, before price control was established, their ‘belore-taxes profit was $71,140,000 jand their after-taxes take $49,650,- 000. Net sales in the 1936-39 period averaged $2,071,265,000, only $2,- 908,159,000 in 1941 and $4,551,734,000 Mast year.

This would invalidate the agree- ment Petrillo won after defying the record manufacturers and the gov- ernment for two years, and which provides that the manufacturers pay his union a royalty on every record made. It would also rule out the ten-cent-per-ton coal roy- alty Lewis asked after he saw Petrillo get his. Even though many of them have little sympathy for the Petrillo- Lewis methods, labor leaders see in the Bailey Bill far more danger than appears on the surface. For if the bill becomes law, it will knock out not only Petrillo ro; set-ups, but also numerous nego- ) tiated agreements whereby em- ) ployers agree to pay a small por- tion of their payroll into health ) funds jointly administered by the union and the employer.
