Were Sir Stamford Raffles
alive today he would see how
much his foresight has meant in
the terrible chess game being
played in the Orient.
When he planted the British
flag over Singapore the deal was
for a 100000 down payment by
Britain to the Sultan Of Johore,
plus an additional $4,000 an
nually. At that time. the main
purpose Of the move was to put
an end to the possibility Of Hol-
lands turning the Indian ocean
into a Dutch canal.
Today Singapore is becoming
more vital in the world scheme
each day. and each day in
creases it's importance as a base
for offensive and defensive war.
Looking at the air bases, the
dry and floating docks, the har-
Dor extensions, the gun bases,
the giant aircraft carriers and
arsenals, it is difficult to believe
that but a hundred years ago
Singapore was a m a n grove
swamp and a dreaded lurking
place for pirates. In Raffles
Place there stands the bronze
statue of Raffles, while his name
is attached to many buildings,
including, Of course, the world
famous hotel.
From the vantage point Of
Cavanagh bridge there Is the
grand panorama Of the singa-
pore river. AS for the shops,
many Of them are owned by
Chinese, who constitute almost
rs per cent of the inhabitants,
with their coterie of millionaires,
Their own chamber of commerce
and their own representatives in
the city administration. Many
Of the merchants live in impoS-
ing palaces, real show places.

dispensed with because Of cur
tailed production.
1885 WAGES
In 1885, when General Motors
paid their eight All-Americans
over $300,000 apiece, the auto in
dustry in particular and the
country in general, was zooming
down the. recovery road-or so
said the economists. 1t was con-
sidered recovery because big
business was again staggering in
profit.
But the average workers for
GIN in '36. according to Sloan
himself, received $1,000 a year
which is a mere sustaining wage,
the same economists say. And,
lest we forget. auto workers were
the highest paid mduSGrla1
sweaters in that year.
Again in 1929 which is the year
business points to as one OF
greatness, from a profit stand
point, Department of Labor sta
tistics reveal that one-third Of
the nations toilers were receiv-
ing less than $1,000 annually
and about one-half were receiv-
ing less than $500. And $1,50O
in '29 was figured out as merely
providing a family of four with
the necessities of life. The one
third of the nation who received
less than $1,000 must have read
in the newspapers Of '29 with
some wonderment that they
were enjoying a great era OF
prosperity. But then install
ment buying must have provid-
ed a fine opiate at the time. II
later it did prove fatal.
THE BOOM YEARS
The main conclusion we can
draw from these statistics is
that socalled boom years are
mostly so for the business execu-
tives and for our sixty royal
families. With the money they
make from the peoples sweat
they increase production. which
is half of Mr.. Sloan's recovery"
philosophy. However, they
neglect to allow the people
enough income to absorb the in
creased production-and when
the installment please remit"
go unheeded-that is when the
down" cycle starts rolling.
Now that a recession has set
in, is Mr.. Sloan consistent with
his recovery philosophy in fir
ing 10000 employees? Should he
not, instead, give to his workers
a fair share of the profits of
the successful '36 and '37 sea-
sons in the form of increased
wages, and thereby increase
their purchasing power and al

There is almost universal de-
testation of the aggressive war.
fare being waged by Japan, but
opinion differs regarding the
most suitable action to be taken.
Jingoes are demanding force
full measures to redress the sink
ing Of our ships, but the great
majority Of Americans insist
that we keep out Of war. The
Neutrality Act was passed by
Congress for that purpose. II
it had been invoked by the
President, it would have pre-
vented the shipment Of NUM-
tions to both Japan and China
but would not have ended the
present conflict.
Refusal by individuals to buy
Japanese goods, at some loss to
themselves, is a proper gesture
of disapproval, but will not null
lily an invasion that has pro-
greSSed to the stage Of success
full conquest.
To be effective, any action to
prevent aggression must be
taken in advance and must be
international in scope. The only
provision for united action has
been the military sanctions OF
the League of Nations, and they
have failed. The civilized world
has learned that war cannot be
stopped by war.
Future aggression can be cur
tailed by the establishment OF
the principle that the peace-lcv-
ing nations will sever all rela-
tionships with any nation whose
troops cross the border OF an
other. The threat Of certain
ostracism would make the actual
application Of a boycott un-
necessary in most instances.
If the League Of Nations and
the United States had inau-
gurated a complete suspension
Of trade when Japan first in
vaded Manchuria in 1881, the
conquests Of Manchukuo. Ethi-
opia and China would have
been prevented.
Our government will obtain
greater security by international
cooperation to prevent aggres-
sion than by reliance upon a
navy that can never exceed the
combined fleets of our enemies.
