Exporting Magazines

There is more ado in foreign countries about American magazines. The latest to protest against the growing flood of our magazine exports is Australia. Our friends down under" like us, apparently, as much as usual, but find our recent magazine production strong meat for their young people. A recent shipment of 300,0O0 magazines, now under customs ban which was imposed for moral req sons, has been allowed to go on sale only because it was shipped before the ban was imposed.
 Many complaints have been made to the Australian Minister of Customs re- garding the quality of these literary i'm ports. The people say the magazines are not fit for their children, but the children have been buying them. They want pro- lection in order to preserve their own standards. To tell the truth, many Americans find some of the recent maga- zine crop pretty strong meat, too.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-09-01
Biggest Glacier

Mountain climbers and glacier hounds should be interested in the discovery by a Harvard expedition, under the direc- tion of a young fellow named Bradford Washburn, of the greatest ice field out side of the polar regions. On American territory, too. It is an enormous mass of glacial ice connecting with the Bering. Hubbard and Malaspina glaciers, already known, and is 5000 to 1000 feet deep and more than 100 miles long. Its out let, the Boring glacier, flows almost to the sea.
 Considered merely as an ice mine, this is interesting. It should fill all the ice chests in America indefinitely, if the supply were available. It is so largely inaccessible that the explorers used air planes
 But at least here is wonderful oppor- tunity for the he-men of all ages who are obsessed lately with yen for mountain climbing. Here the climbing can be com bined with glacier-study and original research calling for hardihood, and full of glamor, sun-burn and beautiful scenery
 The movement of such a vast mass would certainly be worth observing. Ice under pressure is not brittle, but viscous, flowing in semi-liquid fashion, and there are probably more tremendous pressures under that huge bulk than have ever been studied by scientists.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-09-01

ground shook under their feet. They watched other planes follow that five and a half tons of TINT with a shower of lighter bombs that finished the business of tearing a quarter mile of ground to pieces. Then fighting planes came down machine gunning, and more came down laying poison gas, and more with tracer bullets that set the earth afire over hun- dredS of acres. The West Point boys and their officers and the officers wives and children watched the show wind up in flaming, smoke following hell on earth.
 "Few people in this country have seen bombs explode" commented the reporter who wrote the story of the show. More people need to. A bomb-laden aerial cir GUS could scarcely be equalled as a meas ure to strengthen the average citizens resolve to stay out of war.

Labor M1spects WPA Prevailing Wage Principle in Relief Agency Is Putting It on Very Permanent Basis Thanks
 to Its Easy Hours, High Recompense
CONNECTICUT CRAFTSMAN

ed. later that there were inaccuracies in the transcript of his remarks is- sued by the Workers Alliance, he has since verified that transcript with only minor changes in phrase ology. In any case, he has returned to the subject and, referring to the recent increase in rates of payment in Southern States, remarks that studies showed that the average monthly WPA securities scale in the United States was 57 per cent of that paid by business and industry"
 Now this is certainly 8 disingenu- ous way of presenting the matter. Why did not MT. Williams point out that whatever was true about monthly pss ments, workers on WPA do get fprevailing wages" on an hourly basis? Robert Moses once re- marked that prevailing wages do not prevail anywhere but with the government" and many of the WPA hourly wages are hig:ler than those in private enterprise. In private en- terprise under a forty-four-h Incur week there are 176 hours in every four-week period; and even with forty -hour-week there are 160 hours in a four-week period. But very few WPA workers put in that much time for their security wage" It is true that an upholsterer in the New York district gets only $80 under WPA for four weeks work, but he works only 56 hours for 1t. A machinist gets $78.75 for four weeks period, but works only 45 hours out of those four weeks. A bricklayer gets $79.2l for four weeks, but works only 42 hours in those four weeks. A derrick engineer gets SIT for four weeks, but works only 40 hours for 1t. This is just 10 hours a week.
 When MT. Williams put all the blame on that wicked institution, private industry, for trying to pre- vent WPA wages from going higher, he forgets the history or the subject. It was the president himself who, in January, 1895, when first propos- ing the WPA, held that the compen- sation paid should be larger than the amount now received as a relief dole, but at the same time not so large as to encourage the rejection of opportunities for private employ ment." After a long fight in the sen- ate the president won on this prin- ciple, but the administration capitu- lated in fact in September of 1935 when the prevailing wage. prin- ciple was accepted. Since then there can be no doubt that the result the president feared has in all too many instances come about. The WPA has become a sort of standing army of government dependents. In 1886 and 1887, when state and local direct-re- lief rolls were shrinking rapidly. there was no corresponding shrink age-in WPA. High hourly pay, easier and more pleasant work than, that offered by private business, greater security of tenure, and much shorter hours, tell us why.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-09-01
Employer vs. Politician

The working man is being asked more and more to choose between his employer or the government as his boss. In too many cases this is choice between the private businessman and the politician. The employe is likely to choose the known instead of the unknown.
 Business, everyday business, produces and spends ten times the amount of wealth and wages that government does and the man on the street and at the bench is realizing more and more that he must look to business rather than to gov ernment or the promises of government officials or politicians for return to normal employment and prosperous times. The promises of politicians are always to be discounted, whereas the workingman can easily remember better times, better pay, and more regular ena- ployment under his present employer.
 If business isn't given chance, the workingman won't have one either. The country has got to stop living on borrowed money; stop piling up a debt on our children; stop taxing business and jobs out of existence. Most of us want to work in our present jobs and not on the WPA.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-09-01
Normal Business Rise

Labor, business and government seem to be agreed about one thing, which is good news in itself. The subject of their agreement is likewise good news. Spokes- men for these groups are the American Federation of Labor, the National City Bank of New York and the Federal Depart ment of Commerce. All three say in recent statements that industrial trends are upward.
 Employment is improving. Markets sustained activity. Steel orders grow slowly. The needs of the country, says the National City Bank, are asserting themselves again It is not necessarily boom, but the slowing down process had gone farther than warranted and the re- action is normal and justifies optimism.

Probate Judgeship Important

Both local p}rties will do well to give their most serious concern to the candi- date they select and offer to the public for the office of Judge of Probate. Many voters will judge the entire ticket by the calibre of the candidate. Being prac- tically the only local office to be filled in the coming election and being of such human concern to everyone, this judge ship cannot and should not be treated as a political pawn or sinecure.
 Waterbury voters have shown for many years that they appreciate the necessity of having this office filled by an incum- bent of high character, integrity, and human sympathy. It is no place to ex- pertinent, for the public will scrutinize and pay more attention to this office than to any other The protection of the pub lie interest requires it.
