be refused, John D. Chalk, game anc
inland fish commissioner of the De-
partment of Conservation and Devel-
opment, said today after he had de

and Chalk said these regulations will
be maintained.
The Wake delegation which called
on the fish commissioner was accom-
panied by State Senator L. Y. Ballen

and it was ndicated-though no di

allow the two '1ay'' days might re

Chalk pointed out that fisherman

Lastly, as everyone knows, service
has improved in every way, and start
ling progress has been made in operat-
ing efficiency.
The only solution to the railroad
problem appears to lie IN a revision Of
our regulatory philosophy. The lines
must be allowed some Of the privileges
OF their competitors. They must be gi-
ven rates adequate to meet costs, and
they must be given greater latitude in
pricing their product which is trans
%portation. As Mr.. Policy said, once the
railroads are given a square deal, you
will no longer have to worry about the
railroad problem
1t is believed by many that a spe-
ial session of Congress will be called
early in the fall to deal with railroads.
1t that happens, the senator's and re-
representatives. will be wise if they cut
away the nderbrush of fallacy and
unsubstantiated opinion surrounding
railroad affairs, and go straight to the
heart of the issue-which is reasonable
rates, and a flexible and fair system OF
regulation that will treat all transpor-
tation agencies equally, p~enalizing and
favoring none. 4

PREVENT WINTER FIRES NOW

Now is the time to get ready for
winter comfort, while the heating plant
is out of service. Many a December
fire has been prevented in August.
Your furnace should be thorough
ly examined by an expert, cleaned, and
necessary repairs made. Flues, CHM
neys and freplaces should be given ST.
milar attention. All this work should
be done in a first class manner-short
cuts don't pay.
Another excellent plan is go on a
still hunt through the house for debris.
Litter in the basement-rickety furnf-
ture you stored away in the attic and
torgot-greasy rags and waste in the
garage = accumulations of junk in
drawers and cupboards get rid of il
now. Such accumulations are fires fa-
vorite breeding places.
Next inspect lamps, electric cords
and other equipment which is used lit
tie this time of year. They will have to
carry their heaviest loads during the
winter months-and any defect may
result in a disastrous fire. And again.
call in an expert-it's cheapest in the
long run. Amateur electrical repairs
are often worse than no repairs at all.
When this work is furnished, you
will have a more comfortable home as
we'll as a safer home. It's no sport to
have your heating plant break down
when you need it most-because of
neglect and inattention. And no one
enjoys awakening in the middle Of the
night to hear the crackle of unchecked
fire.
In brief-do your winter fire pre-
venting now!

The real cause of the railroad pro-
lem is that for more than thirty years
We have not allowed the railroads to
be run as a business under fair and
equal conditions of competition, observ-
ed j. j. Policy, president of the Asso-
citation of American Railroads. They
have been regulated as if they were a
monopoly, while at the same time the
public resources have been used avish-
ly to create and subsidize competing
forms of transportation by land, wa
ter, and air.
We hear much of the lines being
overcapitalized-yet in 1910 the indus
try had outstanding bonds and stocks
with a total par value of 1887 for each
thousand dollars investmented, as a.
gainst $721 per thousand in 1886. The
ratio of debt to investment for bonds
totaled 5000 for each thousand dollars
of investment in 1910 and only -442
per thousand in 1886.
We hear much about the industry
fixed charges being excessively high.
Yet in 1897 fixed charges We're less in
proportion to revenue than in any year

JOB MAKER
600

Few of US think Of it-but the
capital stock fire insurance industry
is a major job maker in the United
States.
This industry has more than $902,-
100000 invested in manufacturing,
transportation and the light and power
industries. According to John w.
Hanes, a former member of the SEC
an investment of $1,000 is required to
provide one job in modern industry. On
that basis, the fire insurance compa-
MES investments in the industries
mentioned maintain 1886 persons in
productive employment.
The remainder of the companies
admitted assets, invested in other fields
would account for jobs for about 1861
900 persons in miscellaneous activities.
The industry's local agents and
employees number 10000. While these
people are not directly employed by
the companies, their business is made
solely by the stock fire insurance agen-
cy system.
Lastly if the $4,000 persons en-
ployed by the companies in their head
Offices are added, a grand total of al
most 100000 jobs, all pending on the
existence of the stock fire insurance,
industry is reached.
1t is impossible to estimate the in
direct employment created by stock
fire insurance but it exceeds the direct
employment. Every productive job
helps to make another productive job.
Every steadily employed salary work.
Ell, through his spending, helps to
create employment and opportunity
for other such workers. Employment,
like purchasing power, spreads out in
a gigantic curve, extending into every
enterprise, and every section of the
country.
VIZ all know fire insurance contri-
button to business credit and stability,
but few of us think of it us a great
job maker as well.

NATIONAL HEALTH CONFER
ENCE FAVORS DEVELOPMENT
OF NATION HEALTH PROGRAM
Dr.. Geo, w. B. Bowles, T. Arnold Hill
and DIR. Louis Wright-Speak
0()o

Washington, July % (ANP)-Three
Negro organization were represented
at the National Health Conference held
in Washington last by the Presidents
Interdepartmental Committee to Coor-
dinate Health and Activities. The con
ference which was attended by some of
the most outstanding medical men in
the country as we'll as representatives
of organized labor, agriculture, wo-
mems clubs, civic groups and other lay
organizations, heard DR.. George w.
Bowles, president elect of the National
Medical Association, T. Arnold Hill
who spoke during its session on Tues
day.
The conference had been called to dis
cuss the report of the Presidents Inter-
departmental Committee. The commit
tee is recommending expenditures for a
public health program which by the end
of a ten year period will reach the stag
gering total of $50 million dollars a
year. The Federal Government will
expend half of his amount and the rest
is to be provided by local governments
provided the plan is approved by Con-
gress at its next session.
The position of organized medicine
has not been crystalized. DR.. Irwin
Abel, president Of the American Medi-
cal Association promised "the whole
hearted cooperation" of that ~organiza-
ton while DR.. Morris Fishbein, editor
of the American Medical Journal and
usually the spokesman for the doctors
of the country was inclined to question
the whole plbgram. DIR. Fishbein
charged that the program was based
upon the assumption that there still
would oe as much unemployment and
inability to pay for medical services
ten years from today as there is now,
a viewpoint which he challenged.
The attitude which the colored of the
nation would take was not finally sta
ted although DR.. Bowles expressed the
appreciation Of the need on the part of
the National Medical Association men,
bers. Despite the fact that in proper
ton Negroes are more generally the
recipients of public medical aid than
other groups. some 35 or 40 per cent of
Negro patients being cared for by pub
lie atencies, the position of Negro doc
tors who have the depression keenly
and who might stand to be affected in
income more than other doctors must
needs be considered. Additional gov
eminent aid in medical care seems in
evitable, however, and the manner in
which Negro medical men will either
embrace it or oppose it will u~ndoubted-
ly be one of the questions considered
at the National Association meet in
Hampton next August.
Negro leaders have expressed sat-
isfaction that the National Medical
Association has shown its progressive
ness by takinfi part in the deliberations
and keeping abreat through its officials

Hitler's technique when he feels
the time is ripe for a new German con-
fuest is simple and invariable. First,
he makes strong demands for conces-
sions from the country in question. Ii
these are granted, he makes still stron-
ger demands. This finally reaches a
point where the demands become so
sweeping that the country can not
grant them without becoming a virtual
province of "the new Germany So
Hitler is refused-and this provides
him with what he regards as a justi-
f~ication for military display and ag-
gression.
Hitler used that technique with
Austria. Now he is using it in an at
tempt to achieve his purposes in Czech
oslovakia. The democratic Czech gov
eminent does not want war. 1t is has
made great and important concessions
to Hitler, and to the internal Nazi
group led by Konrad Henlein, who
shuttles back and forth between Ber-
lin and Prague, and is apparently in
the closet touch with Hitler, Goering,
Goebbels and other Reich officials. Now
Henlein, with the open backing Of Ger
many is making demands that, grant
ed would revolutionize both Czechos-
lovakia's foreign and domestic policy,
and go a long way toward turning her
into another Nazi dominated totalita-
rian state. These demands have been
refused by President Benes.
So much for the facts. Now for
the possibilities. In her newest adyen-
ture, Germany is supported by Poland.
She APPARENTLY has 10 othe rally Of i'm
portance. Czechoslovakia's chief ally is
France, with whom she has a treaty
that makes French military participa-
ton automatic if she is invaded-and
recent dispatches indicate the Paris
foreign office is prepared to stand by
this treaty to the limit. France and
England have lately entered into an
accord which makes British military
cooperation with France virtually in
escapable if either is forced into war,
declared or undeclared. And lastly,
Russia is bound by treaties with both
France and Czechoslovakia to fight on
their behalf when Der Tag arrives.
Thus, Germany's aggressive action
eliminating on May Fl with the
masses of troops near the Czech Dor
der-can mean only one of two things.
Either she believes that the Czechs
will succumb to a darling bluff-which
does not seem likely now-or she be-
lieves that she is nearing or has reach
ed the point where she is strong enough
to fight Russia, France and England.
All three of those countries are suffer-
inp from internal trouble of one kind
or another.
In any event, Germany's latest ac-
ton has completely disrupted the
brief and ominous quiet that has hung
over Europe since the "~anschluss" with
Austria. 1t has again indicated what
SO many correspondents in touch with
affairs have long said-that war is
inevitable, and that the question facing
Europe now it not whether it can be
prevented but how long it can STAYED
off. Certainly Hitler's attempt to exert
German control over Czechoclovakia
has increased the chance of a European
war starting this year.
Ono n1oea to watch now is ENGLAND.
