o Pays the Freight?
BY PETER EDSON i
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON—Much exaggerated comment
will probably be made onathe Supreme Court de
cision upholding the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion’s first class freight rate equalization' order of
May 1945. ;
By this order “class” freight rates on most manu
factured goods will be increased 10 per cent in the
“official” railroad rate territory northeast of the
Potomac, Ohio, and Mississippi rivers. In the
Southern, Southwestern and Western Trunk Line
rate territories east of the Rockies class rates will
drop 10 per cent. Rates in the Mountain-Pacific
territory west of the Rockies are not directly af
fected.
Some effort has been made to build this up into
an i'ndustrial revolution in the U, S., changing the
pattern of the entire economy.
Extravagant claims have been made that this
order will cause chaos in the industrial Northeast.
Roughly half the U. S. population and nearly three~
fourths of the country’s business, measured in
dollars, is concentrated in this rich area which has
up to now enjoyed the lowest freight rates, i
Equally extravagant claims have been made that
the new ICC order should give the South and the
Midwest an industrial boom. Southern states in
particular have led the long fight against the pre
ferential freight rates enjoyed by the Northeast.
Strangely enough, it has not been the railroads
who fought the ICC rate change order when it was
issued two years ago. They had prepared their
tariffs in compliance and filed them with the ICC
when nine Northeastern states filed suit in federal
court at Utica, N. Y., seeking an injunction to pre
vent the order from being put into effect. Gov.
Tom Dewey of New York was one of those who
brought the suit, and this fact that used against
him politically in the West.
Correctly appraised, the Supreme Court decision
approving the ICC order is merely the first step in
carrying out a long-needed unifcation of the
American railroads’ freight rate schedules.
Historically, these schedules have “just growed"
as American commerce has spread west from the
eastern seaboard where the first railroads were
built, and as the number of products carrjed by
American railroads has grown to its present many
thousand items of diversified freight.
For almost all the 60 years of its existence, the
ICC has been trying to straighten out this mess.
It has achieved some unification of rules and
regulations, but not of rates. Its order of two years
ago was only a first step in this direction. It affects
perhaps 5 per cent of the railroad’s total tonnage.
ACC can now proceed with the rest of its pro
gram. It has already directed the carriers to work
out a uniform rate classification to apply to the
whole country. The railroads are now. at work on
this tremendous job. Gradually, rates on commodi
ties other than manufactured products which make
up class freight will be considered individually and
brought into proper relationship with the class
rates. This may require several years. Rates cn]
raw materials—coal, grain, etc., half the roads’
tonnage—will not be affected. ' ‘
In the meantime this first equalization of freight
rates on manufactured goods—lo per cent higher‘
in the Northeast, 10 per cent lower in the South and
Midwest—is not expected to have too great an ef
fect on prices. Small manufacturers in the North
east who ship only in this territory will pay 10 per
cent more. In general, transportation charges rep
resent about 10 per cent of final costs. So a one
per cent average price hike might be justified. In
the rest of the country east of the Rockies a similar
price drop would be in order.
But this equalization of freight rates should not
mean that established industries in the Northeast
will start moving to the South or Midwest to gain
the advantage of lower freight rates. The reason is
simple. On inter-territorial movements of freight
;rom the Northeast to the South and Midwest,
eastern shippers have just as much to gain from the
igwer Southern and Midwestern rates as they have
> lose by higher rates within their own territory.
NO GAIN IN DELAY
! There appears to be some tough sled
ding ahead for the peace treaties with the
leis satellites before they can win the
two-thirds approval of the Senate. The
unanimous vote which they received in
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
is scarcely a true barometer of the full
Senate’s temper. |
Opposition will focus on the treaty for
Italy for at least two reasons. One is that
Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, whose
treaties are also to be considered, are felt
to be hopelessly swallowed up in the Rus
gian orbit, anyway. The other is that most
of our large and influential Italian-Am
erican population strongly resents _the
Italian treaty’s terms.
As a matter of fact, there is no great
enthusiasm anywhere in our government
for this treaty as a model of justice. Even
Senator Vandenberg, whose considerable
influence was evident in the Foreign Re-
Jations Committee’s action, admitted that
it contained clauses which “we feel might
be written otherwise.”
It is likely, however, that each of the
Big Four governments, who agreed on
these instruments only after long and bit
ter argument, coula say the same thing.
The question is not whether the Italian
treaty is an entirely satisfactory docu
ment, for nobody claims that it is.
The question is whether we or Ttaly or
Europe would gain anything if the Senate
failed to ratify the treaty, or, conversely,
}whether its ratification would push Italy
‘and Europe over the brink of chaos. And
‘the answer must be considered, as must
'so many things today, in the light of
Qoviet-American relations.
~ World recovery _is hindered today by a
state of war which continues in theory, if
not in fact. Peace treaties are only -one
factor in the painful process of economic
revival. A thoroughly bad job of peace
settlement will be of little help, to be
sure. But the satellite treaties do not seem
so bad that their ratification by the Sen
ate would mark a step forward.
If our Senate failed to ratify the present
treaties the Soviet government could say,
with some justice, that there is little use
in renching further agreement with Amer
jcan diplomats when the American Con
gress will, in all likelihood, toss that
agreement out the window.
The Soviets have demonstrated that
theirs is a strategy of delay, of ‘“‘agree
ment through exhaustion.” So long as
there is unrest, there is a favorable atmos
phere for the spread of communism,
which thrives on promises to the discon
tented. |
The Senate’s failure to ratify the Ital
jan treaty, then, might play straight into
}Russia’s hands. However pure the motives,
the result would only promise more con
fusion and more delay.
HINTS OF A GIANT’S DEPARTURE
Winston Churchill is reported ready to
quit as leader of the Conservative PYarty
as soon as Britain’s economic crisis is
ended. The millions throughout the world
who share,a grateful admiration of his
wartime leadership will be sorry to see
him retire from active duty, even though
his role of “first in war, second in peace”’
may be something of an anticlimax to a
brilliant career.
~ But the conditions set for his departure
make any friend of unfortunate Britain
hopé that his retirement is not far off.
And the grand old statesman can help
speed the end of his country’s crisis and
his own well-earned rest by employing his
talents in a loyal opposition which is as
loyal as it is opposite.

. Well, she was happy now at
last. Nothing could ever change
these past few months of perfect
joy. She had found life now, and
life was Tony. i ;
As soon as Joyce got the divore
they would be married. Sherny!
was living in Wew York to be
near Tony, meanwhile.
Now he was at the studio, and
there was still part of the morn;
ing and a long afternoon to bg
gotten through by herself. .
~ Sherry crossed to a window an
Jooked out. You eould see a loh
distance from the {op floor of the’
important hotel where she was
staying, and the park spread be<
fore you like a wonderland in
white. There were skaters on the
lake, their bright-colored caps
making cheerful splotches amidst
all the whiteness. =1
Sherry thought it might be fuiy
to go down and practice. Tony
was teaching her to ice skate and
it would be nice to surprise him
by her improvement, but then
nothing was really fun without
Tony. It was nicer to stay indoors
and daydream about what their
life would be like after they were
married; and then too, Kris might
come any day now.
Marcia had written that he was
in Hollywood, a flying visit on a
big picture deal, and that she was
in a spot. X
“What should I tell him?” she
had wanted to know, and Sherry
had written back, “The truth! He
must stop and see us on- his way
through New York.” And Tony
had agreed with her. - . .
Tony’s picture was pragressing
splendidly. Sherry had read:
the script over and.. over . and
thought up bits of business and
interesting shots; * and changed
lines here and there. -They said
at. the studio that Dietrich was
showing unexpected genius.
Now she just had another idea.
She decided to read the script
again, and reached toward the
blue-covered copy on the low
{fable.
There was a knock and Sherry
called, “Come,” and turned to the
door.
It opened slowly and a girl
came in. Sherry knew who she
was. She was very pale and wore
a mink coat. She closed the door
behind her and stood still.
She said, “I'm Joyce. 1 told
them . downstairs that you ex-

pected me. I'm -sorry.”
Sherry said, “I know,” and
then, “It was better this way.
Come in,” but she did not get up.
Joyce walked over slowly. She
held her handbag tightly and was
trying to keep her teeth from
chattering, you could see that.
Sherry said, “You're cold. Sit
by the fire.” SO
Joyce tried to smile. :
.. “I don’t think it’s that kind of
cold,” ‘but she sat down on the
‘other davenport and pushed her
self back twice until she could
‘lean against it. - She kept her el
‘bows tight at her sides, and her
!’eyes were blue.
She said, “You look just like I
thought.” :
Sherry said, “You do too.”
They were quiet for a minute.
Then - Sherry sucked in her
breath beiween clenched teenth
‘and' made her voice sound even.|
She said, “I suppose you. want
Tony.”
Joyce tried another smile andl
spoke dully. .
“Yes—l want Tony. llt'd be
|silly to say I didn’t—but he’s
| yours. He told me that before
we were married. It was because
I was like you that he—"
She swallowed hard and looked‘
at the fire for a minute. - Then
she raised her chin a little and‘
turned back. ; ‘
| “I came about the divorce,
Sherry. There wasn’t angone else
to te!ll me what to do. You—you
know Tony better than I do—
you'll know what's right, and—
and I can't seem to think any
more.,"”
Joyce stopped suddenly and
when Sherry looked at her she
was leaning back with her eyes
closed and her face was like wax.
Sherry had never seen anyone
look so sick.
’ “Joyce! Are you ili?” she
wanted to know, and got up and
went over to her.
Joyce said, “I--I shouldn’t have
come in the morning. I'm sick in
the mornings.”
She leaned forward and laid
her head on the arm of the daven
port and breathed deeply for a
minute with her mouth open.
The room swirled around Sher
ry and everything went dark. In
that moment she was as sick as
Joyce. Then she collected herself
and slipped off Joyce’s coat and
took ,off her hat, and laid one of
her cold hands on the girl’s damp

And Joyce said yes.
“I won’t give him up.” Sherry
told herself, “not for anything—-—1

window and looked down at the

Local Development Corporations Aid
Rural Areas In Esfablishing
Majority Of States New Industries
Six hundred inawustriali plants
were established in Georgia last
vear, and these plantts were es
tablished mostly in rural areas
by means of local development
corporations.
These facts were the basis of
an article by Dr. Paul W, Chap
man, dean, University of Georgia
College of Agriculture, in’' the
May issue of the Progressive Far
mer.
The Dean of Agriculture, who
has been an advocate of rural in
dustries in the Zouth for many
years went on to point out that
industrial plants are as well adap
ted to rural areas as to large
cities. And he cites' as an exam
ple the fact thatof the 600 new
plants last year, 373 were distri
buted widely throcughout 'the
state, while 277 were located in
Georgia’s six largest citles.
“To secure the location of fac
tories in a community nothing is
more likely to prove so helpful
as the organization of a local in
dustrial development corpora
tion,” he continued. He citeq sev
eral examples of c¢ommunities
which have already initiateq the
‘development corporations, and ex
plained that, “although each va
ries in some minor detail from
‘the others, they all have the same
objective —the expansion of in
dustrial employment opportuni
ties.” ‘
Three Georgia ifowns were
citeq as examples of how in
creased industrialization can be
brought about by the instrument
of local development corpora-.
tions, where citizens of the com
munity finance the initiation of
various businesses. .
Oldest of the locai corporations
for setting up industries is the
Crisp County Development Cor
poration, Cordele, which was es
tablisheq in 1936 for the purpose
of locating a $12,000 hosiery mill.
According to the writer, that De
velopment Company now owns
several choice industrial cites
outright, in addition to 20 resi
dential lots, and a 40-acre of land
near the city limits.
Other examples related by
Dean Chapman were the Mariet
ta Industrial Association, organ
ized as insurance against a pos
sible post war depression and
