with a hard hat, an earphone. a
white moustache, bright eyes and
keen wits, is mildly perturbed over
the disclosure that royalties paid to
holders Of glass patents are some
times split with their competitors.
He is for free competition, under
Queensbury rules, and thinks free
splitting a disturbing innovation.
The inquiry discloses bewildering
technical and fiscal complications,
in the last few decades, but no
change in the self starting Ball
brothers, beyond normal wear and
tear.
Along in the 8Os, in Canandaieua.
N. Y, the five versatile Ball brothers
learned to squeeze small percent
age out Of almost anything that
came to hand. At first they did
we'll with fish kits. Then they
branched out into glass oil cans, a
snappy and rather daring line in
those days. This led to glass jars.
They never needed a setter to point
for them in that happy open sea-
son OF free enterprise. John L.
Mason's fruit jar patent had Just
barely run out when they spotted it
and made it their talisman of mil
lions-after their jaunt to Muncie,
along with their horse.

the brothers, is 76. George Alex

A year or so ago, George A. Ball,
poking around for bargains, picked
up used railroad empire-the Van
SWeringen System, to be exact
for s3,12l 900. His profit, said to
have been 100000 went to a
charity foundation. There were some
inquiries and eye-rolling as the en-
pire, the foundation and this and
that were under public scrutiny, but
the Ball brothers just kept the cash
register banging at their old-fash-
ioned Muncie glass jar plant, and
here they are again.

Toxic government and goaded it into
Warlike criticism of this country.
The new route from Burma will lead
from the eastern frontier of that
great independent province of India
to Yunnanfu, in the Chinese prov
lnce OF Yunnan. Yunnanfu is the
terminus of railway lines in that
section OF the lower Yangtze Valley
from which Chiang's forces have not
yet been driven. Since the fall of
Canton, which shut the Chinese off
from Hong Kong, they have been fe-
verishly completing a metaled motor
truck highway from Burma. Except
for Soviet Russia, Burma is about the
one avenue still open to China for
obtaining of foreign sinews of war.
Rangoon, Burmas port on the Bay
OF Bengal. is thus expected largely
to compensate for the loss of Saigon
IN French Indo-C China and Hong
Kong as ports OF entry for sea-borne
supplies.
To equip the Burma-Yunnanfu
route for heavy transport purposes,
the Chinese are having to carry out
an enormous engineering and con-
Struction job. Two or three big
rivers must be bridged, and literally
scores of old bridges, some of them
made of rope and bamboo and of
ancient vintage, need to be rebuilt.
Altogether, a distance of at least 500
miles is involved. Supplies landed
at Rangoon would traverse Burma
across the 1rrawaddy River past
Mandalay. Japanese Foreign Min
lister Arita is fuming over the United
States extension of commercial
loan" to China because Toxic is
conscious that Chang Kai-shek's
strategy now consists of wearing
Japan down economically by COM
pelling her to deploy an army of we'll
over 100000 men along 5000 miles
OF lines of communication-th dis
tance between New York and San
Francisco. Tokio's resentment of
Americas action is aggravated by
the fact that it follows closely upon
an advance of $10,OOO,0OO to China
for the same purpose by Great
Britain.

Stadium for Capital
Urged by Civic Group

The Citizens Forum of Columbia
Heights last night advocated the
erection of a national stadium for
Washington and authorized a study
to forestall any attempt to impose
daylight saving time on the District.
The group expressed the opinion
that huge national stadium would
put men to work and help business
in Washington. It was also sug-
gested that the stadium be built
with w. p. A. to spare Washing
tonians heavier taxes.
The association directed that a
letter advise the Capital Transit
Co. that a store which sells STU
dent tickets near Central High
School is stamping the backs of
the ticket covers with advertise
ments of the sale and delivery of
beer The group called for an in

Orchestra and closed the meeting

Business Has Tried!

IT is a fact that business has
not taken up the slack. But it
is not fact that it has refused
to do so. It has tried to do so
desperately - for the simple
and elementary reason that no
business wants to fold up or go
into the hands of the Govern
ment. It has tried hard-pure-
ly as a matter of self.preserva-
ton.
If Mr.. Roosevelt were to spend
the four billion dollars (eVen
though the Gallup poll reports
that the overwhelming majority
of 70 per cent of the voters were
against increased spending as
late as April I'D and at the
same time indicated by action,
not by words, that his punitive
campaign against business and
industry was at an end, then
the most informed economists
agree that the upward surge
would be tremendous.
Mr.. Roosevelt and his politi-
cal blackSmiths would be as
founded at the good words
which would be written and
spoken of them did they but try
to give the honest so per cent
of business an honest break.
But, as long as they don't, then
the more they will destroy the
prospects of real employment;
the more the Government will
have to support; the higher will
have to go the taxes on the
fewer and fewer left to pay
taxes until either the people re-
volt at the ballot box or else
the Government must take over
the whole business.

ment which will still be hand

The Government, however,
can only pay wages that cover
the bare essentials. AS it derives
the money it pays out from
revenue paid in through taxes,
the Government can set a wage
standard no higher than allowed
by the amount it takes in. Mr..
Roosevelt has condemned the
fact that one-third of the ma
ton is 'ill-housed, ill-fed and
ill-clad," But, as the Govern
