Juneau Alaska sion. A fellow can have lots of fun learning things— particularly things in which he has a great personal | interest. Thus, an avocation which leads somewhere is far more interesting than one which is static. It | is fair, we believe, to argue that participating hobbies are superior to those in which the follower is merely | a spectator. Some of us have a natural bent for certain types of effort. We work with our hands, we're mechani- ‘cu]]y inclined, we enjoy building things.

Combined, these com- panies have insured Americans, and others, for a record total of $253,000,000,000. In the past, there has always been more de- mand for investment capital than supply. Today, there is still ample demand for the capital to be invested, although some cconomists see the time rap- idly approaclting when the supply of investment capital will Bqual or exceed the demand. Already American insurance companies are in- vesting in companies and operations which heretofore would have been passed up as risky investments. A recent analysis of insurance investments of the last decade reveals that insurance companies have entered all sorts of businesses and are still seeking entry into other business operations. In former years, gov- ernment, state and municipal bonds, top-flight rail- ng avocations add routine and add ace can do more | were the only investments sought by large insu‘ancc | companies. As the capital assets of the great companies increase, new fields of investment must be found, if present-day capital is to continue its multiplication process.

Unless England supported the Eurcpean union, Eisenhower arg- ued the Scandinavian countries, Belgium and the Netherlands would Without England, Eisen- not join. hower said the French, Italians, Dutch and Belgians were fearful that Germany would = dominate western Europe. This was too great a risk for them to take. Churchill did not interrupt too many times while Eisenhower was talking. He replied, however, that England did not consider herseM & part of the European continent, that her commitments were to the Briti: Commonwealth, that she had mever intended to join the European army and the United States knew it. BRITISH AID TO BE CUT }:hmcmll argued, was doing more than her share for European defense than any other European country by her per | capita output of munitions and troops. He suggested that the one England would join the Eur- army was if the United would join, too. ower argued in reply that absolutely essential within few weeks for the British tes E it the next to prove their honest cooperation in the defense of Europe. Other- wise not only would the other coul pull out, but economic gland probably would be cut by Congress. Churchill promised that Eng would provide planes for the European army in addition to aining pilots. However, he re- sed to commit himself either on the European army or on the Schuman plan. But he did say that reciated Eisenhower's frank- 1 would consider all the aid to he ne points Ike had brought up. STEEL STRIKE Reduced tc cold arithmetic, here is pretty much what the threaten- ed stec ike is all about: nited Steelworkers point tothe ! fact that profits of the major | stee! companies have zoomed far | beyond ges and the cost of liv- ing. In 1945, the profits of the nine major comps controlling 80 | per cent of production were $151,- 800,000. That was an excellent year—the last year of the war. | But in the years since then, steel profits have gone up 240 per cent. This year they will be rough- | $515,000,000. Dividends have also zoomed. paid to stockholders | U. s. Sleel‘s" dividends, for instance, have shot up 166 per cent in the five years since V-E Day. i Meanwhile the cost of living has risen 443 per cent in six years, while the average weekly wage of | a steelworker has increased 46.% per cent.

McGrath finally agreed, has waiting for that Supreme vacancy ever since, mean- while marking time in the Justice Department, Bill Boyle's ap- pointment as National Chairman has backfired more than almost any other Truman move.
