H. H. Hungerford, manager Of the Wrangell Cold Storage, this morning received a wire from the Parke, Davis Pharmaceutical com pany stating they had advanced their bid made in January for fish livers to 50 cents per pound for halibut livers, 35 cents for black cod and 40 cents for ling cod.
 This restores the prices to last years level, which was the highest paid since fish livers became mar ketable in Alaska in 1881 at nine cents per pound.

ANIMALS TOOTH FOUND
 EMBEDDED IN CELERY HEAD

Ripley has brought to light many strange oddities, but none more strange than a head of celery which cut a tooth.
 Believe 1t or not, Mrs. Emma Case in cutting a head of celery this week felt her knife strike something hard On inspection she found it to be tooth imbedded in the heart of the celery. Evidently an animals tooth, it is a canine about half the size of mans thumb It has been variously identified as belonging to some long dead COW, an enormous dog and a wolf.

Eve of the Armstice The Hndenburg Line had
crumpled and the Germans were retreatng, flghtlng
doggedy to maintain their fading grip on terrain over
which their armies had swept in their earlier invasion OF
French SOIL Rumors of armstice had already been
whispered in lands far removed from the fighting 'front.'
but hint of early ending of hoStites had reached
the contendng armies The Germans still resisted the
Allied drive with every weapon at their command Hard
at their heels the valiant Second Division pressing
forward and had reached the Mouse River which they
prepared to the night of November TO- 1918 For
ten days the division had wrested one defense position
after the other from the enemy in the MeuseArgonne
Sector and it was now engaged in drive which gave
promise of overwhelming victory Beyond the river
the enemy attempted to delay the advance sending hail
OF shells and whitening machine gun fire to point near
Beaumont where the End Engineers tried to bridge the
stream The first bridge blasted into bits, bat
ond imsy structure finally spanned the river and over
this under German flares that shed ghostly light
the stream, two batalions of the Fifth Regiment OF
Marines eventually made their way establishing them
selves on the heights its farther side. Behind the
Second Division lay their victories at Beeau Wood Sois
sons ST. Mhie and the Champagne. Although exhausted
and mudbegrimed there no tagging of courage or
loss of morale when the troops pressed forward the fol-
lowing day. However, at eleven o'clock that morning,
with something more than heartfelt thanks both friend
and foe welcomed the joyful news of the Armistice.

Despite Chaos Of 20 Years Since the Arnistice,
Masses of People Are Better off Than Before War
Average Man
Getting His
Economic
Heritage
This is the fourth Of five
articles reviewing the historic
20 years since the Armistice.)
BY WILLIS THORNTON

BY WILLIS THORNTON
NEA Service Staff Correspondent
The pre-World War world believ-
ed pretty strongly in two things: Cd
That private ownership of the
means of producing things, and
private management of their pro-
duction in free competition led to
the best results for most men. (2)
That the freest possible exchange of
these goods between countries, with
certain tariff restrictions, would
make for the welfare of peoples
and better world understanding
Both assumptions have been chal-
lenged, the first by the rise of So
cialist and quasi-Socialist econo-
mics, the second by the idea of ma
tional self-suficiency.
First fruits of the World War
were the Russian revolution, and
the first widespread attempt at a
Socialist state. Foreign debts were
repudiated and foreign investments
and property confiscated by Russia
without compensation. The particu-
lar Socialist sect called the Commu
nists took charge of the experiment
After 20 years the Socialist world
is scarcely less divided than the
capitalist as to the success of the
Russian experiment. But there il
stands, and the 20 postwar years
have thus been the first great chal-
lenge to the individualistic and pri-
vate-ownership principle, at one
time viewed as the last word ir
progress.
The debt-repudiation of the Rus
sian revolution was mere forerun-
ner of a series of regulations by
the greatest world powers.
Germany, saddled with huge re-
paration bill, soon fell down on pay
ments, despite several downward
revisions. Even French occupation Of
the Rhineland in 1928 as a retalia-
ton for failure to reparations did
not solve the problem. The Germans
could not pay Gas many economists
insist or would not pay Gas others
believe), but at any rate they did
not pay.
This disease was catching. Of the
billions loaned by the United States
to governments in the World War,
almost nothing has been returned
Cuba is the only country which paid
its debt in full; Finland is the only
one that has kept up it's payments.
Even after funding the debts, II
billions of dollars are now generally
regarded as beyond recovery.
Following Russia's revolution, the
revolutions in Germany and Italy
though they spawned a different or
der than that of Russia, neverthe-
less produced economic orders that
have points similar to it. In these
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1938-11-10

countries, as in Russia, control if
not actual ownership of economic
activity passed to the central gov
eminent in the hope that planned
decisions by a central group would
produce and distribute plenty, where
the aggregate individual decisions OF
millions of enterpriserS and produc-
ers had not.
OLD ORDER
PASSETH
Such regimes naturally produced
new order in international trade.
Because all dealing was centered in
each case in central government
the old channels of trade began to
rust. For various reasons, military
and political, each country tried to
produce what it needed, with as
little trade as possible. SURPRISES
were dumped on the world market
regardless of cost, throwing out OF
gear the economies of those coun-
tries which were still operating in
what had been comparatively
open market. Totalitarian countries
found an advantage in international
trade because they could deal, sub
sidize and high-pressure buyers and
sellers on a scale impossible to
countries whose trade was being
carried on by individuals.
Money lost some of the meaning
it had to the pre-war generation.
Russia and Germany swept the
boards clear and began over again
after mutations that destroyed all
values, all savings. France three
times devalued its money, reducing
savings by that much. Even in the
United States it was conceded that
dollar devalution in terms of gold,
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1938-11-10

though it repudiated the govern
ment's expressly pledged word, was
best for the great majority of the
people.
Eight years of grinding depression
failed to swing the great majority
of American sentiment away from
individual ownership and enterprise.
But the swing toward Capitalization
was marked.
Labor, always before the World
War hostile to any government die
tation of working conditions, turned
to the NRA, the National Labor Re-
lations Act, and to Wage and Hour
legislation for security in addition to
its own bargaining and organiza-
tional power.
People generally have turned to
their federal government for help
as never before. That includes ell
derby people who want pensions,
World War veterans who asked and
got billion and a half-dollar pay
off, bankers who wanted loans,
farmers who wanted higher prices,
railroads which wish to be saved
from bankruptcy, local communities
which want roads, schools, bridges,
and a myriad of public improve
ments, but which can't pay for
them. Result: In July, 1914, the
Agriculture Department had $4,000
employees. Today it has $4,000.
This increasing Capitalization is
reflected in the governments finan-
cial position. Before the World War,
the United States owed debts
abroad. The whole public debt was
less than a billion dollars. European
creditors Immediately sold their o..
S. holdings to buy war supplies,
borrowing from her own people.

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

When was young, an old gent Salo'
Stupid or dull was the word,
But then, of course, in my day
About arrested development we never heard
There weren't any such jobs
Like radio announcer or chauffeur,
And if lad lay down on his job
He was just lazy loafer.
We young folks in my day
Worked all over the lot
When we got good lacing down
No one Said-so what!
Nobody thought to coddle us,
About completes we were hay,
Arrested Developments the word today
But in my time we called it lazy.
