As a result many industrial buyers have been following a cautious hand-to-mouth buying policy, limiting the volume of new orders and working off inventories of high-priced goods. That practice leads to reductions in manufacturing operations, and con- | sequent dismissals, layoffs and part-time employment | for factory workers. Although lack of confidence in the stability of the price structure has accelerated the current busi- ness downturn, the situation today differs in important respects from that prevailing at the beginning of previous major depressions. For i ce, the Federal Reserve Board reports that the value of department store sales increased more than seasonally in April and the first half of May. Allowing for the later date | of Easter this year, sales were only 3 per cent below the high level of a year ago. Furthermore, since retail prices are somewhat lower, unit sales of goods showed little change compdred with a year ago. Apparently recent drovs in stock is just a matter of business speculation and that is all, and we'll sit tight and watch the outcome. !

ACTING GOVERNOR CLEARS ANY DOUBTS ABOUT WELFARE FUNDS Believing that a former public *servant has been maligned, at least by inference, Acting Governor Lew M. Williams today made a state- ment of special interest to readers cf two cther Alaska newspapers. An editorial titled “Coming Out In Open,” which originated in the Fairbanks-Miner and was reprinted in the Ketchikan Daily News, is the is for his comment. This edi- places Russell Maynard, for- mer director of the Alaska Depart- ment of Public Welfare, in the company of other Territorial offi- cials in whose offices have becen found irregularities in the handling of public funds. The acting governor has this to say: “As far as Russell Maynard and his office are concerned, everything was in A-1 order, and comp'ied fully with the laws pertaining to public welfare and to the regula- tions established by his board. “The board itself, before accepting his resignation, had two of the au- diters now conducting the Territor- ial audit cover the accounts of the Undoubtedly the price downturn has failed so far | Public Weltare office.

The publishers | have thinned their lists and lightened the fare. The New York Times is sponsoring a drive (we know not how) to induce pecple to read more books during the | summer season. It is our contention, based on no statistics what- ' ever, but on observation, that peoole are apt to read more in summer than they do in winter if for no other reason than that they have a little more time. Many a person, instead of succumbing to hammock literature, so-called, sets himself a stiff reading chore for his vacation: Toynbee, or the first two volumes of Chur- chill's war memories, “Jean Christophe,” the novels of Jane Austen or “War and Peace.” Something he »an dig his teeth into, he tells himself. Sometimes he finds that his eyes have been bigger than his teeth,, snd he therefore may have switched to Erle Stanley Gardner before he has completed his self-assigned zhore. But his intentions have been of the loftiest and, at the outset, at least, he has not flinched before the idea of tackling something “heav.

Yet an objective ex- amination of current price and production indices does not seem to warrant pessimism about the business outlook. The fear of a slump rivaling that of the thirties or the sharp price collapse that followed World War I appears to be based on the assumption that because past booms have been followed by busts the cycle is certain to be repeated. This is as super- ficial a judgment as the belief that the country can be safeguarded against future setbacks by Govern- ment price supports and the stimulative effect of Government spending.
