ANAHEIM GAZETTE Member Weekly Newspaper Ass'n of Orange County HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 Mrs. Henry Kuchel — Theodore B. Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, California. Phone 2206-2207. Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1897. Subscription Per Year, $2.00; 2 Years, $3.50; 6 Months, $1.25 WORLD TRADE CENTER The proposed $55 million San Francisco world trade center which has been recommended to the State Legislature is by no means a matter of interest only to the San Francisco Bay Area. Dr. Tadeusz Spitzer, the eminent international economist who prepared the report on the project, declares that it will be of great benefit to all of California and to states as far eastward as Nebraska, Kansas and the Dakotas. Declared Dr. Spitzer, "The undertaking of a world trade center in San Francisco ... goes far beyond the political and geographical limits of San Francisco. World trade is basic in this undertaking and many generations will benefit from it." Situated as it is as America's "front door" to the Orient, and being accessible to water routes to all parts of the globe, international trade has long been of great importance to California and will undoubtedly become increasingly vital as the nations of the world recover from the effects of war and more fully resume their peacetime pursuits. California's position in relation to world cars just at a time when other automobile manufacturers, and indeed, manufacturers in virtually all lines, are trying to figure out how much more they should raise their prices to offset mounting production costs. Of course, this price reduction doesn't bring Ford cars down even to within shouting distance of their pre-war level. But the important thing is that the move is a reversal of the upward trend and should have, at least, a favorable psychological effect in the battle against inflation. Whether or not this cut will be followed by a general lowering of prices by other automobile manufacturers remains to be seen. Many, if not most of them are simply too deep in red ink just now to do it. This action by the Fords, however, indicates that they expect production in 1947 to proceed with far greater smoothness than it did in 1946. If this expectation is fulfilled then it is quite likely that other companies will be able to adjust their sales tags downward as the volume of output reaches a point which will make this feasible. IN THE DAY Feb. 3, 1872 The ball given by Mr. merman on Saturday evening on the occasion of the opening of the Anaheim hotel was a fair affair and a most gratifying success. The attendance was that the spacious building crowded throughout. At N persons put in an appeal to the supper table. The supper deserves particular notice very excellent quality and quantity of choice food provided eatable and drinkable, quiet, orderly and agreeable in which all was cozy. This feature alone was so (if indeed anything were added) to fully establish Mr. merman's reputation as a The Anaheim band provider music and was kept at the from early in the evening o'clock in the morning, and exhausted from the field Angeles was well repaired there being present Geo. Ter and D. C. Lawrence Star, C. L. Minor of the H. Hammel and lady of the hotel, L. Messmer and laud Shoemaker, and others who were present from A would be to give a direct city. All were there. Very pleasant affair andcess must have been excruciating to the popular his amiable lady. Hille & Menzel, saloon arery have bought a corner E. Schmidt on the north Center street, just east beautiful residence of Mr McKinley, and have already mented the work of buildi paratory to transferring th Situated as it is as America's "front door" to the Orient, and being accessible to water routes to all parts of the globe, international trade has long been of great importance to California and will undoubtedly become increasingly vital as the nations of the world recover from the effects of war and more fully resume their peacetime pursuits. California's position in relation to world trade is further enhanced by its outstanding banking system, including the world's largest bank, which is able to supply not only the financing indispensable to international commerce but to aid importers and exporters through the knowledge acquired by its international banking experts over a period of many years. The prediction has frequently been made—and there are many reasons to expect its fulfillment—that California will eventually become the hub of all world trade, taking over the position now held by the Eastern seaboard. The proposed world trade center would appear to be a logical step both in preparation for that development, and in hastening its realization. THE FORD PRICE CUT Back in 1913 the elder Henry Ford startled the world by establishing the unheard-of wage of $5 a day for his workers. Now it appears that Mr. Ford and his grandson Henry II have taken a step hardly less startling by slashing the price of their seen. Many, if not most of them are simply too deep in red ink just now to do it. This action by the Fords, however, indicates that they expect production in 1947 to proceed with far greater smoothness than it did in 1946. If this expectation is fulfilled then it is quite likely that other companies will be able to adjust their sales tags downward as the volume of output reaches a point which will make this feasible. But it all depends on how well labor and management get along in the months ahead. If they can keep the wheels of industry moving while they work out their differences then all will be well. On the other hand, if we have a repitition of last year's series of crippling strikes the urgent need for higher production and lower prices will not be met. Let us hope that the Ford price reduction will prove to be the first robin of an industrial spring that will bring an enduring season of full production in America. T. E.

Messmer and lady, Mrs. Hoemaker, and others. To say who were present from Anaheim would be to give a directory of the city. All were there. It was a very pleasant affair and its success must have been exceedingly gratifying to the popular host and his amiable lady. Hille & Menzel, saloon and bakery have bought a corner lot of T.
