Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach says the nation has turned the corner of disputes and that the public is the winner because "peace" will prevail for at least a year and production will run high. Corporate managements aren't optimistic as Schwellenbach. They agree that labor-management relations will run smoothly for year but look for production interruption due to an impending AFLCIO battle. The Trade Winds say that this summer will see a wave of interunion battles in which AFL and CIO unions will refuse to work gether. and that AFL and CIO will stage a wild fight for creased membership.

The Trade Winds say that Economic Stabilizer Bowles will be "promoted" to better position: is falling for the "promotion" hook, line and sinker: that the "promotion" is elect him Governor of the State Connecticut: that the of "promotion" the kindly effort and commodities speculators, Washington lobby and those anxious for a "profit via zooming prices. Debt Cuts: Treasury Department's announcement to retire other $2.000.000,000 of national debt as of April 1. in addition the $2,750.000,000 of this month. didn't surprise dealers in Government securities. President Truman's January budget message said the debt would be down $275,000,000,000 this coming June 30.

Accepting the President's budget plan as factual, national debt will be reduced another 000,000 by next year June 30, And revenues flow in as nicely over the balance of 1946 as it is doing now, the debt may be cut to 000,000,000 by June 30. 1947-if new war doesn't cut into the 500.000,000 cash position. The fly in the ointment concerning future debt reductions is increasing volume of war bond demptions. Continued inflation has folks worried about the dollar's purchasing value. New bond sales are sliding: redemptions increasing -March total expected to be as high as $600,000,000.

Who's Investment economists out an interesting fact showing that in 1945 there were special and secondary stock offerings to the tune of 10.742,280 shares compared with 5,857,763 1944-78 per cent increase. And the point is made that the number of offerings last year totaled less than those 1944. The between-the-lines implication is that the rich are liquidating holdings to small investors, and time when corporate earnings prospects Government officials and securiare being ballyhooed in nation's history. ties dope services as thewhest wrong?

Oats Futures Prices Ease Market Settles Back After Early Bulge Chicago P- The Government of farmer intentions for Soling, 1), grain was about plantings what (story many on brokers expected and future prices coasted along in a slow trade again Thursday in the absence of either sustained pressure or demand. Some short covering early boosted May rye, and oats had light support on the strength of indications that the 1946 plantings will be less than expected. These gains were eventually clipped and deferred oats sold a lower.

Some traders viewed the intended Spring grain acreage as disappointing and therefore of a bullish character, particularly in corn and wheat. H. S. Williams of Harris. Upham said the total Winter and Spring wheat area "suggests a crop well over a billion bushels." Chicago Grain Table Quotations furnished by H.
