Keeping Your Radio Cabinet Like
New

Modern radio cabinets are made
with the same care and finish as fine
furniture, and just as much pains
should be used in cleaning and pol
ishing them, if their original beauty
is to be preserved. 1t is only neces-
sary to follow a few simple rules
in order to keep cabinets In the
best of condition, according to eX-
perts of the Crosley cabinet factory.
Before polishing a cabinet, the
dust should first be wiped off with
a piece of cheesecloth. A mixture
of equal parts of benzine and para
fin oil should then be applied with
a clean piece Of cheesecloth. FINAL

THOMAS DISCUSSES
DOLLAR IMPERIALISM

WASHINGTON (FP) - Discuss
ing American dollar Imperialism as a
possible cause of war, at a confer
ence called by the Peoples Recon-
struction League, Norman Thomas Of
the League for Industrial Democracy
declared that the remedy is world CO.
operation rather than isolation.
Retreat into our own shell is inn
possible in the modern world" he
said. Since we are all economically
inter-dependent we must learn to live
together comparatively. That means
mitigation Of racial prejudices, the
end of the doctrine of absolute ma
tional sovereignty, and the end of the
profit system as we now know it. 1t
means the end Of high protective tar
ifs, the ALLEGATION of raw materials
Nothing less is the price of peace"
