FurtherWageincrease

Effect, Says Dr. Waters.
Additional wage increases in the
Stat&s. manufacturingy industries
were termed ,unnecessary.rtoday.by
Dr: - H, Waters,: assistant profes
sor of economics. at the- College
who expressed - the- fear that.;fur
ther increases might-produce-seri-.
ous inflationary, effects.
Pointing,, out that : the : average
total pay of workers has doubled
since the start of the :War while ,
cost of living.has,rlSen only, 25 per
cent, Dr. Waters said his study in
dicated ,that _industrial.- wages. in
Pennsylvania. -are t meeting.. higher
living,.costsr"very satisfactorily."
The • group„hardest -hit by. war
time' liVing..costs i according. to the
Penn. State economist, . are .the
Collared" - and salaried
workers . whoe wages. have been
frozen for. the duration.
Agricul
tural- workerS' 'incomes, - he—said;
have- kept- pace with living costs
"fairly well."
An additional increase in- indus
trial wakes, he• continued, would
aggravate . still more the unequal
distribution of war sacrifices upon
the. various classes of society, "in
cluding- those- servicemen . and
women whose , salaries • remained
fixed - through- more• . serious dan
gers than , -higher living costs!'
- Waters.- said , ' another wage
boast in industry might - well- prove
to , 'be. the. "last.;:straw"—makifig-- it

"Although Paris . has . beautiful
parks, it was gloomy, sooty city
when I was last there," Pete as
serted, recalling his stay in France.
"It's difficult looking back at what
I saw. After all, I've been out- of
EuroPeseven years-now." -
"American 'children - living In
foreign. lands ,have a good .chance
of ' becoming_ indoctrinated,_ with
foreign ideas;," Pete. believes. "If
it hadn't been for, the chance .of
war, I would - have gone to. Oxford.
Children of American parents liv
ing'over there are educated in the
continental style. Coining to Ar
geritinaTprevented me from.geiting

• With personal experience as his
medium, for judging, kloren feels
that_ Ameridans , are not

abroad a typical American educa
