THTE CORNWALLIS AFFAIR
W. c. COSTELLO
Manager

THESE people who insist that Cornwall
lis surrender be left out of the birth
of the nation pageant at Yorktown, out
of respect for tender British sensibilities,
seen to be inspired by noble motives. The
only trouble is that they don't go quite
far enough.
If we are TO fix things up so that all
reminders of the misfortunes of the Brit
ish lion in North America are obliterated
there are a good many other things that
will have to be done.
There is. for instance, the matter of the
U.S.S.t CONSTITUTION, recently recondition-
ed at great expense. Hasn't anyone remem-
bered that almost all of Old Ironsides'
famous victories were won against the
British? Obviously, the only decent
thing to do is tow the ignoble vessel out
beyond the tip of Cape Cod and sink it,
quietly and without fuss.
Then there is the Declaration of Inde-
pendence; surely that could be toned
in some way so as to leave British feel
ings unruffled. With this action, of
course, there must be some legislation to
compel us to celebrate Independence Day
without referring to King George or the
redcoats.
Only few days ago a monument to
Commodore Perry was dedicated in Lake
Erie's Island of Put-in-Bay. This bit of
poor taste might be atoned for by des-
troying the monument at once, and the
battle of Lake Erie must be forgotten as
soon as possible.
On the battlefield of Saratoga there is
quite a monument, too. We ought to
amend its inscriptions so that no mention
is made of the fact that an English gen.
eral named Burgoyne surrendered there.
About the only revolutionary monu-
ment that can remain standing, in fact, is
the one at Bunker Hill. The British, you
see won that battle. Our Anglophile pa
triots probably will agree that that mon-
ument is all right. But the rest, evident
ly, must GO
All of this may sound a bit dizzy. But
is it, really, any dizzier than this propos-
al to emasculate the Yorktown ceremon-
les so that few doddering worshippers
of the mother country can forget their
chagrin at being Americans?

COLORADO CITY

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. II. U,P)-A

Whiteman first met Miss Living
ston when he came to Hollywood to
fill a motion picture engagement
and he was seen almost constantly
with her while he was here.
Then Whiteman went back east
but he continued his suit for her
hand and, according to Miss Liv-
ingston's relatives, he kept her
home here file dconStantly with
roses.
According to word received here
the couple will be married in the
home of Whitman's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. J. Whiteman, and later
will return to Chicago where White
mans orchestra is engaged.
Later in the year they plan a
honeymoon trip to Hollywood. It
is understood that Miss Livingston
has given up her film career and
will remain with Whiteman con-
stantly.

LONG TERN CREDIT

ABOUT a decade ago the automobile in
Industry was in bad way. The market
was dwindling. No one was buying Ev-
eryone who could afford to buy an auto
had one, and the millions of people who
wanted cars had neither cash nor credit
to buy them.
The auto makers, thereupon, went out
and turned these millions into automobile
buyers by adopting a courageous new
system of long-term credit Depression
left the industry, to return only when
boom times led the manufacturers to oy-
erSell even this new and enlarged market
In the current issue of the Magazine of
Wall Street, Charles Benedict proposes
that American producers of raw mater
ials take leaf from the auto industry's
book and create new markets for them
Selves-not at home, this time, but over
seas.
He makes good case for his proposal.
Poland, for example, needs raw cotton
badly but lacks the credit with which to
buy it; why, he asks, should not an Am
erican cotton growers cooperative group
propose to deliver to Poland a years sup
ply of cotton at the current market price,
under terms by which payment could be
made IN one to 1O or even 70 years?
What is true of Poland is true of China.
Mr.. Benedict predicts that this action
would boost cotton prices, open new mar
kets and bring prosperity back to the cot
ton grower.
The same thing, he adds, could be done
with other raw materials such as wheat,
copper and corn. In the end he believes
that the risks inherent in such a process
would be overcome and the way back to
world prosperity would be found.
The whole program seems sound The
most striking thing about the present de
preston is that it is caused, not by scar
city. but by surpluses. There exist plen-
ty of potential customers for the surplus
goods of the earth The one great prob
lem is to make it possible for them to buy.
