Editor and Puv.sasé Published Semi-Weekly, Monday afu ttiu:sday at Nevada City, California, and enter+¢d as ma matter of the second class in th» postoffice at Nevada City under Act of Cor.'ess; March 3 S79. é _ SUBSCRIPTION RA'LES One year (In Advance) nL etca ashe time uaaee et ac acne $3.00 30 cents MR. FORD’S GAMBLE If one of California's picturesque, frock Coated gamblers ~of the days of '49° could have heard Henry Ford I! outline a *““very big gamble’’ he proposes to take, he would have nodded in shrewd approval. Speaking before San Francisco’s Commonwealth Club, ' Ford declared his company expects to lose money on every vehicle produced this year—yet intends to go ahead and fproduce to the limit as its contribution to the national war against inflation. “On the subject of losses,” he said, “I would like to note that we could not take these chances if the Ford Motor Company had not been building up reserves to finance itself in moments of emergency. It has become somewhat unfashionable to speak of making profits, as if it were an un-American notion. But only out of profits can any established business get the funds for research for better things and better ways of doing business. Only out of profits can come higher wages improved working conditions and new opportunities for emloyers. ee wee The old gambler might have shuddered at the reference to working. But “‘building up reserves’’—that’s the idea he'd have approved. Gamblers say you can’t win with ‘“‘scared ‘money’. Money -is ‘‘scared,”’ in :gambler’s parlance when a gambler’s roll is so small he doesn’t dare take chances on losing a few hands. He becomes irresolute—his nerve fails him —he’s through. Because the Ford Motor Company's money isn’t “‘scared” Henry Ford II isn’t afraid to take a big chance. And that is good news for Americans who want new autos as much as they do not want inflation.—Contributed., THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE Chester Bowles’ own description of the new stabilization policy as a new “battle of the bulge” a partial yielding to inflationay pressure to ‘stop the break through, seal off the bulge and continue to hold the line; is an admission of major failues by the OPA. Half a year ago the OPA assured the nation that infla tion would never come; it would “hold the line’ inflexibly. Now it is in retreat before inflationary forces that snapped its artificial controls—forces it has helped create. Bowles’ confession is of national import in view of the administration’s request that this carried over war time agency be given a blanket new lease on life for another full year. Probably it would be unwise to terminate all price controls too suddenly and too soon. These ubiquitous controls have become so interwoven with the nation’s economic fabric that their instantaneous removal likely would result in temporary dislocation and Gonfusion. And some of the controls, such as rent ceilings in overcrowded metropolitan centers, should be continued in some measure as long as they are acutely needed and lifted gradually as local conditions warrant. Yet, for the most part, OPAs regimentation has proved evil in a score of instances where it has proved of emergency benefit in one. The agency’s pricing blunders in the retail field have only intensified shortages in many of the actual necessities of life instead of relieving them. The strange, inexplicable theory that it is possible to raise wages without a commensurate increase in the costs of production was found wholly unworkable. That colossal error was no small factor in forc‘ing the bulge which Bowles so frantically seeks to seal off with an extension. of his artificial, hitherto futile props, ceilings and powerhouse directives. e congress will do well to proceed cautiously and thoughtfully in determining the future powers—and the life span—of the OPA.—Contributed. THE BAR SINISTER 4 Disclosure that a Russian spy ring has’ been seeking atomic secrets in the U. S. and Canada made exciting news. But of far more serious import to western nations is a fundamental belief of the Russian government as expressed in Stalin’s broadcast to the Russian people. “Our Marxists declared that the capitalist system of world economy conceals elements of crisis and war” Stalin said in part. “Thus as a result of the first crisis in the development of _ the capitalistic world economy the first world war arose. The second world war arose as a result of the second crisis.” _In other words, Stalin believes that further world wars are inevitable if capitalism survives on global scale and there_ fore that unless capitalism is erased from the earth Russia must resign herself to fighting again and may as well prepare realistically for it. a Russia’s huge population was are closed.
