At Collingswood, N. J,
cars cantaining 40,000 gallons of
fuel oil on a siding may not be
unloaded because the union pickets
won't permit it. At the same time
families there came mighty near
freezing during the cold spel over
the week end, '
Just what kind of
justice or laws permit such action
is certainly beyond us.

MISTAKEN COMPARISONS
It may be human nature to com-
pare current commodity prices
with prevailing in 1939 or
| 1940 and conclude that we are now
| being robbed, But it isn't
| economies. It would be equally
| to compare 1940 prices
| with 1840 prices and conclude that
those
sound
| costs have been extortionate for
| decades,
| Another fzllacy is to compare
the conditions which followed
| World War I with those which |
| followed World War I or some |
tank | previous conflict, and to attempt |
| to draw exact parallels. As one of
i the greatest historians said, “Noth-
| ing is permanent but change,’

the succeeding years won't neces-
| sarily happen again. History may
