Saving for Winter

It's probably just as well that the Ohio Unemployment Compensation Commis- sion ruled Ken Neither, Cleveland Indian baseball player, is not eligible to receive $15 weekly for being out of work during the winter months. The commission de- cided Third BaSeman Keltner's $7,500 contract is year-round document, and Mr. Neither laughed it off and said the whole thing was only gag.
 Had Keltner's claim prevailed, some hundreds of other baseball players, whose salaries are not exactly miserly, might have got ideas. Professional football players, who work only in fall and win ter, would have wanted their share. Actors and actresses between perform ances, boxers and wrestlers between fights might have decided they too were entitled to small weekly checks.
 For that matter, lot of congress men are practically unemployed, usually for six months of the year when Congress is not in session. Technically, some of these people are not entitled to jobless in- surance under any circumstances; but you can't have discrimination in coun- ixv like the United states.

Presidential Fever

There's an old American gag-a hang over from Horatio Alger days-that every boy can aspire to become President of the United States It's beginning to look as if everyone wants to be.
 Every citizen above the age of reason who dares to hope publicly that he will be among the living in 1940 is begged as a candidate for one of the nominations Only few have formally announced their intentions of becoming candidates, but the unofficial list is almost as com plete as a roster of Who's Who in Amer ica. Next summer all but two of the as- pirants will turn back to their own affairs but until then it is pleasant to be regarded as possibility for the nations highest office.
 The nice thing about it is that there is a perfectly good chance for any of those mentioned to win the nomination of either party. No one needs to put on quaint uniform, pledge himself to prin- ciples in which he doesn't believe and obtain express permission of granite hearted dictator before he may assume a public office. In this country, the peo- pie are still the only judges.

When the Rails Ring

If you took map of the United States and stuck pin in every community in which the railroads make purchases of supplies, fuel or equipment, you'd be forced to just about corner the pin supply of good sized store. For, during the year 1887, the railroads made purchases from firms and industries in 12,174 cities and towns. These communities were located in 2638 of the 3,072 counties in the United States. More than 10000 different items, ranging from string to locomotives, were bought, and the total spent reached the astronomical sum of $l, 133 100000.
 An authority observes that one reason why railroad purchases are so wide spread, is that each company prefers to patronize industries in it's own territory whenever possible. In other words, the carriers spend their money where they make it. They are strong influence tending to decentralize industry - and to build up local industries and payrollS. Instead of confining their purchases to a few great industrial centers --- as, for in- stance, would undoubtedly be done if the railroads were government owned and politically operated - they go in the role of buyer to the little town no less than the big city. And, under this stimulating influence, all of America, not just a little favored part of America, grows and pro- gresses.
 In those figures, too you will find your own individual stake in the welfare of the railroad industry. If the rails are given the fair competitive break they ask, they will expand faster, improve faster, spend faster. And that will mean more jobs and opportunities in every town and ton operator and everyone else. When the rails go ahead, we all go with them

Learning From U. s.

If Hitler and Stain ever read the papers, they should be impressed by the way we do things in the United States. Down in Cincinnati, Ohio, lot of men got together. They came from all parts of the country, and they came to get new bell players for their baseball teams next spring. They didn't carry guns, nor wear uniforms, nor spout ultimatums. They came armed with nothing more than contracts, pens and ink. There was lot of "resettlement" done. Some baseball clubs that wanted players from other clubs got them others didn't There was no shooting. It was all done very peace fully.
 The rub in this method, as far as Hitler and Stalin are concerned, is that the deals have to be honest-the players have to be paid for. either in kind or in cash. It would have looked pretty funny to see Manager Joe Mccarthy of the New York Yankees stride into the conference room and demand that he be given half dozen Washington players because the Senators were expressing his ball players.

Not So Many Baths

It is not necessary now, Americans learn, to take daily bath in winter. In fact, it's better not to. pr. Morris Fish bein, editor of daily newspaper column, says couple of baths a week are suffi- cient. In Jersey City N. J., Dr. Fish bein's recommendation recently won sup port when the water commissioner urged residents to take only one bath a week to conserve water.
 Conservation of water is not the doc- tors reason for advising fewer baths Too much bathing in winter, he pointed out, is not good for the skin Other phy- sicianS have recently come to his support in urging over-fastidious folks to spend less time in the bathtub and beneath showers.
 To citizens below the age of 12, this news is as gratifying as the rumor that the circus is coming to town. To many of them it will provide potent propaganda against parental suggestions that the weekly bathing program might profitably be expanded from the conventional Sat- urday night routine.

Partners in Progress

America is and has been a nation of pioneers - pioneers who were willing to take long chance in the hope of gain. Railroads were strung across barren wastes, settlers migrated westward, men gambed with billions on the strength of a dream. They dreamed that the country they were building would some day become the greatest nation on earth. It was the American dream, and it came true.
 silent partner in that achievement was the local bank. Every undertaking of any size must have the aid of an estab- lished banking house. Not railroad could have been built, not community founded, had not the banks first blazed a financial trail. Accompanying the rapid progress which has taken place in this country, there have been failures, industrial, individual, civic. They were inevitable. For where there is utter safety there is no progress.
 The banking system reflects the temper and character of the people and the nation they build. In the early days, the banks in some measure had to take chances the same as the scout with six gun at his hip. Time has proven, how ever, that the pioneer spirit in banking brought rich returns in community and national development.
 Today the banks still accurately reflect the character of America. We have grown more conservative. The banks have done likewise. But just as in the old days, the banks are inseparable from the community and the demands of the community. When community pros pers, the bank prospers. When a com munity fails, the bank may also fail. The community and it's financial ally prog ress or decline together.

U. S. Reds Are Awake

Quick to respond to Soviet Russia's latest "peace movement" was the Ameri- can Communist party, which bluntly and unblinkingly laid the blame for the pres ent Russo Finnish hostilities between Russia and Finland on Finland's govern ment.
 Caught short by the Russo German nonaggression pact late in August, the American Communists seem to have caught their breath again. This time the pipeline to Moscow wasn't clogged with rust, the explanation was pointed and shouted unstutteringly through the medium of 100000 printed statements immediately distributed Said the state ment: "The Red Army is on the march for peace and socialism and is, dealing powerful blows against world imperial ism"
 With naive effrontery, American Com munistS painted the Finnish government as "semi-Fascist". They would have you believe Comrade Staln does not like Fascism; and, therefore, the Films must submit to slight political operation. If Finlands regime smacks of Fascism, then the American democracy by com parison, must be the worlds stronghold of totalitarianism.

amendments have turned out to be 8 complete flop when 1t comes to really liberalizing the pension system. The payments will be a drop in the bucket compared to the hundreds of millions of dollars that will be siphoned into an idle treasury fund through social se- curity taxes.
 ALTMEYER UNDER FIRE
 So Altmeyer is in terrible stew to find some way to cover up his fiasco. If he doesn't 1t may mean his scalp. He already is under heavy fire from several powerful quarters.
 Pension forces are sour on him because of his hostility to liber- alizing the pension system. Me- Mutt, critical because of the Ynil- lions of "John Doe" (unidentifi- able) pension accounts cluttering up Social Security records, wants to clean out the whole Social Secur- ity Board and replace 1t with one man of his own choice. And, with an election in the offing, Roosevelt and the politicos are sure to be sore when they discover just how badly Altmeyer misled them.
 NOTE-Chairman Bob Dough- ton of the House Ways and Means Committee has ordered Altneyer to submit a report giving a com plete picture of the John Doe" situation and the Social Security financial set-up.
 BRITISH-U. s. PLANES

voluntarily gave the Finnish people their independence after centuries of domination by the Czarist Russia It was unfortunate, however, that giving Finland independence resulted in immediate capture of control by Q semi-fascist group in Finland who were then, and still are, under the domination of large financial inter- ests in England and France.
 Tn return for alien political sup- port, these Finnish governmental flgureheads permitted military bases to be created in Finland, bases which clearly were to be used against the Soviet Union in the inevitable war being planned against that nation.
 Today Finland is asked by the So- viet Union to give up it's plan of being base and agent for future attack on the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union wants to insure itself against a repetition of the bloody attack of interventionists which took place in 1918.
 But the reactionary rulers of Fin land are still loyal to the large financial interests of Great Britain. They refused the Soviet request.
 In addition, Finland has deliber- ately attempted to instigate war with the Soviet Union. Why a war? Well, England and France are still inter- ested primarily in involving the So- viet Union in the current world war.
 If Russia can be involved, 1t is hoped that an alliance between Fas- cist Germany and the rest of Europe can be created and long planned "holy" war against the Soviet Union begun. That is the real reason for the flake" war now underway be- tween Germany and England and her allies. England does not want to fight Germany but would rather have Germany help fight Russia.
 So it is clear that poor" little, 1" helpless" Finland is a nation of intrigue and a menace to the secur- ity of the Soviet Union in equal pro- portion as 1t was in 1918, year of anti-Soviet intervention.
 The Soviet Union has attempted to win Finland over by diplomacy and be compromised. But the in- fiuence of England and France (and America) has been too great. In- stead, Finland has deliberately in- stigated attacks against the Soviet Union.
 Today the Soviet Union is rec ported attacking Finland. But this attack" is not the kind that the Finnish people fear. Only the rulers of Hlnlaud tzemhle nhan ths red

taking delivery of planes built in the United States, Is to tow them across the Canadian border on barges, principally at Detroit and Buffalo.
 This is now found preferable to the trick of pushing them over the line at the Montana airport locat- cd on the border.
 Both devices have resulted from the U. s. Ruling that planes sold to belligerents may not be flown into or from the United States. So the only way to export them without dismantling is to shove, pull, coast or two them across the . Canadian border.
 The Montana airport at first was an easy solution of the problem. Planes could be flown there from U. $. planto by U. s. pilots, while still U. $. property. Then the transfer of title was made on the spot, the Canadians fastening a rope to the plane and pulling 1t across the border. Canadian or British pilots climbed aboard and flew the plane away.
 But the Montana airport is high and cold. and the weather is bad for flying. So the British are now taking delivery of planes at the dockside In Buffalo and Detroit. where the ships are rolled onto barges and lowed across to the Canadian side.

MIR. HOOVER KNOWS WHEN TO GIVE AND NOT TO
 GIVE AID

December 13, 1889. Editor of the Democrat It must be a great cause to ir- spire Herbie Hoover to give relief to the needy. Take the Films for ir- stance, Hoover Is breaking his neck to give them relief. Take unem- ployed Americans; Hoover says 1t Is un-American to give them relief. MT. Hoover must be smart man to know when to give and when not to give relief. What is good for Films is no good for Americans. Try to figure 1t out.
 Perhaps MT. Hoover does make some sense. Let's see-seems 1t must be good to help out in war, but not in depression.
 But why?
 MT. Hoover likes the Reds less than he likes giving relief to un- employed Americans. So he gives re- lief to the Films.
 MT. Hoover is a smart man. His friends must be proud of him. He knows when relief is good.
 Yours truly,

ENGLAND AND FRANCE REALLY TO BLAME FOR PRESENT
 FINNISH CRISIS
Dec. 1S, 1889.

Dec. 13, 1889. Editor of The Democrat:
 Peaceful" Finland has been "at- tackled" by the Soviet Union, is the latest news dispatch from abroad. This makes necessary an under- standing of just how peaceful" and deserving of sympathy helpless" little Finland Is.
 Finland has won pace in the hearts of American financial inter- ests by paying her war debts. No publicity is given exactly what war; debts these are that Finland is pay- ing. Few people realize that they are not World war debts; but debts contracted in the post-war activity engaged in by the allies exclusively against the newly formed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
 In this war of intervention, Fin- land served faithfully as a base from which to launch attack after attack against the peace-wanting. weak Soviet Union.
