Buyers' Strike
An encouraging news story was the Associated Press report of the condition of the new and used car markets of the nation.
The story reported that people just aren't interested in paying any price for new or used cars, that they have become fed up with paying "bonuses" for the privilege of buying new cars, that the average citizen won't take just any used car regardless of its condition. Ten to 25 per cent reductions in used car prices are common, and the traditional sharp depreciation for last year's models is again in operation. The 1946 models are reported to be selling from 15 to 25 per cent less than the original factory price after they hit the used car lots.
Used car prices still are high, the report said, but the trend is to lower prices, and many dealers have stopped requiring that new car customers must trade in a used car.
The AP story said that the citizens have finally rebelled at prices for used cars and are just going to sit down and wait for a new car or for the used car prices to get down from the stratospheric regions. Another way of explaining the current trend is to say that the laws of supply and demand haven't been repealed after all.
By the end of 1946, however, the picture had begun to change. Banks reported that their deposits were still higher than a year ago, but that the peak had already been reached. The supply of critical materials had begun to flow from the reconverted factories instead of trickling out in
For several years, since before the war, the United States has been a huge seller's market. The supply of nearly anything was low, and the demand for nearly everything was high. Naturally, when the buyer has money and only a few things can be bought, the prices of those few things are going to be marked up. The O.P.A. tried to prevent this, and so we had a black market—not as bad a black market as we could have had, but still it existed.
The "easy money" has begun to run out and the demand for goods is not as voracious as it was six months ago. When the demand goes down and the supply goes up, prices are bound to drop—and that's what they're doing.
an enticing manner.
Many times the idea of a buyer's strike has been suggested. Except in the case of housewives deciding not to buy butter at 95 cents a pound, or a group of farmers refusing to send grain to market until feed prices went down, the buyer's strike wasn't organized. But the AP story shows that, though unorganized, the buyers have begun a strike which is forcing prices down and making your money and my money worth more.

Machines Are Not Enough
It would seem from Jack Stines' letter in the Jan. 6 Daily Kansan that young Stines ought to get acquainted with our good Dr. Ise before he goes too berserk in his search for "higher" learning.
Tongue in cheek or no tongue in cheek, Dr. Ise has certainly put a finger on the major problem of 20th century life—particularly the American variety—whose technical development and engineering accomplishments have far outrun our economic and political accomplishments.
We can gird the earth with the aerial transport our engineers have built; we can destroy all its cities or send rockets to the moon with our atom-fission energy our physicists and engineers have propounded; we can starve our peoples in the face of plenty which our engineers have provided to those who already have; but our engineers have possessed no wisdom to direct the usage of their gifts to us. This later day engineer's world has not developed the other arts, sciences and larger intelligences sufficiently to determine whether efforts shall be spent on "automatic flushing stool and so forth" (if this is culturally important) or on weapons with which we may debauch, impoverish or destroy mankind.
Stines' polemics are proof that we ought to broaden the base of our engineering education, at least to give our engineering people a better idea of their position in the scheme of things; and to provide such spirited fellows as Stines with information and thinking equipment so that they may be irritated by important things.
In short, it seems we could let the engineering business rest a while and catch up on some of the other matters—those involved with living on the same little earth orb with our fellowmen.

Sample KFKU Program
This is in response to the letter that was printed in the last issue of the Kansan before vacation began.
In the editor's note there was a suggestion that a sample program be submitted that would still be feasible with the station's facilities. As for a program, a sample program can be obtained from listening to the nightwatchman on WREN any night of the week. All that would be needed would be the records and a turntable.
I spent an hour in front of the library Monday afternoon taking a poll of student opinion on the subject. The results comparing KFKU and the Nightwatchman are as follows:
Listen to both regularly ... 0
Listen to both occasionally ... 4
Listen to Nightwatchman
Regularly
Listen to Nightwatchman
This is the result of 100 answers and 94 of the people I had never seen before; the other six were people that I knew who happened by. These 100 people were picked at random and as far as I can tell should represent a cross-section of K.U. students.

Jews, Arabs, British Prepare For Open War In Palestine
By SAM SOUKI (United Press Staff Correspondent)
Jerusalem. (UP)—The threat of war seems to be increasing in Palestine, despite earnest efforts for a settlement. Unless something like a miracle happens, the Palestine problem will remain a problem for a long time to come.
Armies, both in the open and underground, are being massed in readiness for the bloodshed that most people expect will be unleashed in the Holy Land. British Jews and Arabs $ \textcircled{2} $
Holy Land. British, Jews and Arabs are gathering their forces and are recruiting their manhood for a conflict which, if it started, easily could spread beyond the borders of Palestine.
The Jews want a Jewish State and a Jewish majority; the Arabs want an Arab Palestine, with no more Jews coming into the country; the British want to find a formula acceptable to both, which, at the same time, safeguards their own imperial interests.
Never before has tension reached such a high point. Palestine today is like a gigantic battlefield, criss-crossed with barbed wire and teeming with tanks, armored cars and cannons at strategic points. Patrols are hourly searching, probing into houses, questioning people and laying out more barbed wire and gun defenses.
Barbed wire surrounds all official buildings such as foreign consulates, while government buildings in addition have machine-gunners at sandbagged windows, ready to fire at the slightest hint of danger. On the roofs of these buildings are more machine-gunners who, binoculars in hand, can scan all the surrounding area.
But all these precautions searches, police raids and arrests do not prevent the strong Jewish factions from striking telling blows throughout the land. In Jerusalem, the King David Hotel's shattered walls stand as a grim, silent reminder.
Jewish districts are closely watched and kept under armed observation. Often policemen and soldiers stop all pedestrians, and brusquely ask them for identity cards. Before you enter any public building, you are searched by the guards at the door. They run their hands over your body and search any bag or brief case you may be carrying.
Three powerful Jewish groupsits frontiers
have formed underground armies, each fighting the British in its own way. There is the Haganah, with an estimated 70,000 organized fighters, the Irgun Zavai Leumi with some 7,000, and the Stern group with about 4,000.
So far, the Arabs have remained out of the fighting, but according to Arab sources, they have not remained idle. Youthful Arab nationalists claim that a secret Arab army is being trained both inside and outside Palestine.
Of the three, the Haganah is potentially the most dangerous, but politically the most moderate. Observers in Palestine believe that the Haganah will start an all-out fight only if it finds that no solution favoring the Jews is reached by the British at the end of this period of negotiations.
It is the Irgun and Stern organizations that have been responsible for most of the recent incidents in Palestine, exploits that even veteran British field commanders have described as brilliant in planning and execution. There is no doubt that the Jewish underground organizations in Palestine are powerful, well versed in the latest fighting tactics and include expert commandos armed with the finest type of weapons for this kind of operation.
The hard core of this organization is about 3,000 active members in Palestine. Their system is to split into small groups and recruit supporters in different areas who, while continuing with their lives, would be trained and ready to fight whenever wanted.
The Palestine Arabs believe that, in case of an Arab uprising, they will get the support of the neighboring Arab states. Arab nationalists everywhere, they say, would come to their aid, either by entering Palestine or by activities beyond groupsits frontiers.

GOOD OLD TIMES
IT WENT BY RHYMES
was the author of a novel titled "A Murder on the Island," which describes the organization of murderers in the island. The novel, "The Illustrated Journal of Criminal Law," is one of the many books that have been written to alert those of the methods used in murder. If the book is read at an event or by someone else, it serves as a reminder of the Atlantic island's shouldered responsibility for its crimes. Before he left this work, he was in charge of all inquiries in advance of any criminal activity there and always had trouble with law and order. For decades after his death, the author wrote several books that have become well-known. He is survived by his wife, Judy, his son, James, and his grandchildren, Larry, Jules, and Mark.
