The termination of the Moscow
Conference of Foreign Ministers
seems to have accomplished little
and taken at face value tends to
leave a feeling of gloom on every-
one who had hoped for an amicable
settlement of all the important
factors which were presented
Americans however can feel con-
fident that the future will reveal
that much good was accomplished
at this meeting For the first
time at any of these conflabs we
had a representative in George
Marshall that might appropriately
he classified as a statesman lie
took his stand and made his wishes
clear to the other delegates in a
forthright manner and did not
hedge ove little bit nor make any
rash promises for the furthering
of same
While such actions must have
come as a rude shock to the Krem-
lin it undoubtedly has made a last-
ing impression there In the past
all our dealings with Russia were
of the appeasement type and nat-
urally the Big Bear bluffed it out
to her advantage We can't blame
Russia too much for employing
this type of diplomacy Power
politics is all that she knows To
Russia the Country that holds the
largest club is the country that
is going to realize the most from
any agreement We have held the
largest club in all of these meet-
ings but have not had a represen-
tative with enough guts to weild
it until George Marshall was given
this important post Consequently
it is with a rude shock to Russia
that this important meeting has
now terminated and her requests
were acceded with In fact She
didn't even float a loan for her-
self nor wish off great quantities
of her caviar to the U S representative
11 1m United States is in for a
month ot bellowing that could
probably not be ecua and cer-
tainly not exceeded by anything
outside of the stockyards in Kan-
sas City or Chicago Henry Wal-
lace is going on a speaking tour
that will cover the entire states—
or at least the portion in which he
will be allowed to speak In con-
nection with this notice that the
Hollywood Bowl Committee has
refused Comrade Wallace permis-
sion to speak in the bowl A good
stout box would be more in keep-
ing with his line of patter anyway
Boise City is undoubtedly "Growing-up"
This is clearly evidenced
by some of the practices in evi-
dence here just as they are in the
"big towns" We are speaking
of the New Car situation All
through the war and now our
local automobile dealers have done
their best to supply the vicinity
with automobiles Naturally the
amount of cars that could be ob-
tained was only a drop in the
bwket to the demand and just
as naturally that supply could not
be apportioned in such a manner
that would make everyone happy
It was just human nature for each
fellow to feel that his need for
a new car wtis greater than his
neighbors Well unhappy broth-
ers you can now get a car—not
from your legitimate dealer but
from a used car lot or even from
a few curbstone dealers And all
that it will cost you is about MO
on the line—in addition to the new
car price of the automobile of
your choice
These dealers brokers salesman
or what have you cannot be called
black market operators since there
is no fixed ceiling on the cars
they might more aptly be called
opportunists since the only buyer
that can be found that will pay
such prices is someone that is
either "nigger-rick" or in circum-
stances whereby a car was an ab-
solute necessity
Legitimate dealers are in many
instances getting the blame for the
existance of this "out of bounds"
car prices There is nothing the
car dealer can do about such a
situation The few cars that they
receive they sell at the regular
price but in many cases the buyer
will immediately take the new car
sell it to a used car dealer at a
profit of from three to five hun-
dred and by the time the used
car dealer tacks his profit on you
have your super inflated price
This is a condition that was fost-
ered solely by the buying public
and will continue so long as the
public will buy at inflated prices
