Whether, the terms of the agreement are good such or as bad the Is very largely beside the point. Some of them, as the basis for emphasis promotion, strike us as reactionary and contrary to the best upon seniority rather than merit. Interests of company, workers and public, for all of whom efficiency in production is a primary concern. But even were.

the agreement an ideal one, the means by which it was, accomplished were too expensive. It would be bad enough if the damage done by the strike wore confined to the loss in production and earnings suffered. by the strikers, the company and the people of the generally. Unfortunately there is danger that there may be other ill effects. The hates, fears and suspicions which were engendered and the reeriminations, which were exchanged in the negotiations and in public interviews are likely tot: leave an aftermath of bitter feeling anything but conducive to the kind of wholehearted cooperation in the common task, which is an essential to the highest industrial efficiency.

In whole or partial compensation it may be that a lesson has been learned--the lesson that a strike is not the way to adjust differences between employers and employees, The so-called labor problem is simply that of achieving a good' working relationship' between casential: factors 'In pro-" duction -those, who do the work, on one side, and those who provide the tools and the managerial skill on the other.

Things finally came to such pass that, according to the Hitler argument, he was compelled for the protection of Germany to destroy these dangerous potential aggressors.

The threat to Russia from Iran, of course, is even more negligible, than was Czechoslovakia's threat sto Germany. No doubt there are Iranians who don't like Russia or would like to seize.

George E. Sokolsky ECONOMIC REHABILITATION: Two conflicting argumenta for the British Ican are made by the same persona: A. That Great Britain La broke, to rehabilitate her industries, to Import food for her pepple and develop an export trade upon which her prosperity dependa; B. That unless the United States makes this loan, Great Britain will organize an economic bloc so. formidable that it will literally knock; us out of foreign markets, A is true, cannot be true.

true, la impossible, Yet the very same men, Mr. Clayton, Mr. Vinson, Mr. Byrnes and many others use both arguments' at the same time, Apparently, 1 In their anxiety, they are neither careful nor logical, The best Agures available, and I am sure that they are altogether short of the whole truth, show that Britth have accumulated in the United Slates over the: past five years, dollar assets amounting to $2,300,000,000 plus $700,000,000 of realizable- credits in the totaling $3,000,000,000. The British, it seems, feel that they require 900,000,000 to' make shortages during the next three How did they accumulate that 000,000 during the war period? 1 they can do it: in war, why not in peace? It they have no assets anywhere else In the world, nothing anywhere in Europe, In Argentine, in any other South American countries or in the Asia or Africa, this $3,000,000,000 In United States plus a 000,000 loan from Canada brings them close to the amount they say they Mr.

Vinson said in his statement to the Senate Committee on Banks Ing and Currency: "The success of this policy depends upon securing prompt economlo orderly currency arrangementa, and the reduction. of trade barriers. World "trade cannot be restored until the war-devastated countries in Europe and the Far East are again able, produce, and buy and. sell; World trade cannot be restored tIl the currency restrictions that have plagued the world for. more than a decade have been eliminate ed.

World trade cannot. be: restored until the present barriers that block trade have been abolished' When the countries of the world. are again producing; when they have put Into effect fair' currency and trade practices, world trade will expand and grow. 4 Then the business man- of all countries can secure access to world markets on fair and equal terms." But this is true not only of Great Britain and ourselves; it is true every country. 'What then la required, at.

By that time, I no longer. had any pain in the shoulder, but I did have considerable stiffness and limIted motion--and any attempt to" use the arm more freely gave what I suppose some people would call At the time and for months afterward my chief complaint, s0 far as the bursitis was concerned, was the difficulty of finding a position in which I could rest nights without constant ache, I'd call it, from that blamed shoulder. The first thing one with painful, lame, stiff, shoulder must understand is, then, that a diagnosis is necessary to begin with, and for that a reat doctor, not a trick heal. er or part-time quack, is the one to consult. The next thing to keep th mind is that the shoulder must be used, is necessary only passively--that manipulated by person -very gently at Arst, and gradually more freely day by day, from the time when the acute infammation subsides.

It. this is' not done, the shoulder 1s likely to. become permanently limited in usefulness. Punishment, yes, I know. But, speaking as a former sufferer I assure you it is better to take such punishment daily for a few weeks and come out "of it with a good shoulder than to baby yourself, and be handicapped for the rest of your life with a trippled shoulder.

The passive movements or manipulations of which I speak should be given by the physician, the physical therapist under'the physician's direrton, or by a member fthe family under such- direction. I found a half hour or so of diathermy to the shoulder before the daily manipulations made them less painful to Jimber up the tissues.

Woman's New York By Alice The Monte Carlo ballet troupe has been enjoying its usual hectio happy season at our City Center. On the opening bill the feature. was a revival of "Baiser de la Fee" designed by. George Balanchine, lately Mr. Vera Zorina, and conducted by the composer in person, the noted Igor Stravinsky.

The Joint was nearly burled under, Nowera, and the whole 'evening wis a highclass hullabaloo. Naturally, the show' was, opened by the good old Fokine classic, "Les Sylphides." Not until a few. nights ago did something phenomenal, perhaps unique, happen at the ballet. As you are well aware, many of these pieces end with the leading male dancer toting out the ballerina in his arms. Maybe she de dead, or per.

Balanchine. The star of the piece was. Alexandra Danilova, whom I consider the greatest of her ilk now and I do not except the magical Markova. In, "The Night Shadow" Danilove drifted through the let like white, etheral ghost--In fact, she plays a somnambulist, or' to. me.

She didn't look though she could lift light cruller. But at the finish the thing, the customers nearly fell right. out of their seats, for this ghostly babe left the stage with her poet-lover, Mr. Nicolas Magalianca, In her arms. Arguments still as to whether Danilova walked off, or went on her toes, or "points," In ballet language: Even it she walked, It was rood trick, for this Magallanea la pretty heavy fellow.

A switch like this makes an ev ning of ballet something bot to -hold, with a frail girl lugging hefty male dancer off in her arms. I wish- to goodness Td picked that evening' to alt in at the City Center, for while. accepting the word, of many witnesses, I sure wish I'd Danilove carry. Mr. Nio Into the wings.
