TO U.S. Though much has been written about the major pro- portion of the cost of financing the United Nations borne by the United States, little has been heard about the money spent by the United Natioris Headquarters in New York in the United States. A recent survey showed that, in terms of dollars and cents, the United States got back, from the budget of the Unitéd Nations, approxi- mately $30,000,000, or about twice what it put in. This tabulation was figured on a basis which in- cluded the spending of payroll checks cashed and spent in the metropolitan New York area, and included such things as supplies bought, utilities payments and many other expense items. In addition, there is the indirect financial return gained by inhabitants of this country, through rents and living expenses of about 800 delegates and aides, who live in this country permanently as a re- sult of the United Nations headquarters being located in New York City. ‘ There are another 500 delegates and aides who come to New York and spend about three months a year for the annual session of the General Assembly. While _ there is no way of accurately figuring how much these delegates and aides spend, a recent estimate placed the probable figure at $7,000,000, Thus the United Nations is not the drain on the U. S. economy it has been portrayed to be, and ‘the actual ‘re- sult of locating U. N. headquarters in this country is that the U. N. spends more money in the United States than this government contributes as this country’s share of the U. N. operational expense. CAPITALISTIC COMPETITION A recent study showed that the field of active com- petition extends all the way in the economic ladder, from bottom to top, The survey showed that many of the largest businesses in the country lose out over a period of years, despite an apparently commanding position in their line at one time or another, It has been revealed that, in the span of thirty or for- ty years, about fifty per cent of industry's giants lose their relative places in the economic scale to newcomer indus- tries. Thus, the large corporations operate on the competi- tion theory ag well as do the smaller ones, Of course, the total production for the country rises steadily, though on an irregular line, with each ten. or twenty years, The fact that some big businesses lose ground éven in an expanding economy seéms to contradict the Communist argument that the capitalistic system is a fat-cat monopolistic system. On the contrary, the record shows clearly that quite often when performance or pro- duet deteriorates, the business responsible declines rapid- ly, even though it be one of the nation’s giants.

Free loaders avoid children, but establish the Republicans as a} true majority party that can elect a president in 1956—preferably Ei +f senhower again. } Without making it clear whether he was talking exlcusively about | Democrats or also about some Re- publicans, Hall told the national committee: | “The left wing has only begun) | to snipe at him (Eisenhower), to | take pot shots at Congress and to) insinuate its deadly philosophy of | defeatism into the American life | again. No, the left wing has not | been vanquished. It has only lost} a battle. { “It will use every technique at! its command — misrepresentation, infiltration, penetration, deception | and distortion to have its way.” Eisenhower, who chatted briefly | with the committee members at} the White House, had preserved neutrality throughout the selection | of Hall, boomed primarily by House Speaker Martin of Massa-) chusetts. But it was common! knowledge that Hall had been sug- | gested. as a competent man by the President, with whom he trav- eled during last year’s presiden- tial campaign.

Stock Market Topples With Peace Talk By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK W—Talk of peace topples the stock market, Many businessmen take a second look at earnings prospects for 1953.

The peace talk comes when bus’ about the chances ef approachin; deflation, hard selling conipetition, and a possible slump, A spreading of the war, however, doubtless ‘would have ‘upset the stock market much more than the Kremlin peace hints did—and for the same reason: the uncertdinty and confusion in business. plannigg that would follow, And the stock market doesn't always forecast accurately. Often—as the Associated Press’ index of stock prices shows—the market pays atetntion to other things than { profit outlook, or even dividend prospects, as it is} genetally supposed to. The peace talks are potent in the market because psychology plays a larger part in changing stock Prices than is generally realized.
