SOUND PRINCIPLE FOR ALL

State Department of Conn
merce has set forth a principle that, if fol-
lowed by all states in seeking to attract new in
dustrial plants would benefit the entire nation.
Secretary of Commerce Richard p Brown ex-
plains that campaign for rev plants is not di-
reced to amy and alr industries but only to those
that can become permanent assets to the state
THE effort to induce industries to establish in
Pennsylvania, he said, is being directed to those
who can help maintain and improve living stand
ards of the states 100000 people, rather than
|jeopardze them
Pennsylvania has harbored plenty of low-wage,

and industry. If it live up to the ideal stated
Iby Secretary Brown, it will be contributing sub
to industrial betterment. Observance
LOT the ideal by all states would leave no place in

ALCOHOL AND ACCIDENTS

The time will come when driving

other misdemeanors about which there
is absolutely no question in the pub

through legislation, improved court
procedure and the development of ade-

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

actions to the barrage of reports and
plans for enforcing the Western Hem
isphere neutrality safety belt" 800
miles at sea indicate their belief that
there would be only one effective
means of keeping belligerent navies at
this distance-by force, which is ex-
actly what many have believed from
the first.
Incidents multiply which imply in
vasion of our declared safety zone:
the naval battle off Montevideo, the
scuttling of the German liner "Colum-
bus", the chasing of German
freighter into neutral harbor at Fort
Lauderdale, Fla.
The latter two appear to cause lit
tie concern at the State Department.
Assistant Secretary of State Welles
has declared the American nations will
act jointly on the Montevideo incident
and are determined to protect their
neutrality rights.
1t is likely that bringing the war
close to U. S. shores by naval action
is not so likely to cause alarm, so long
as American shipping is not involved;
but should similar invasion Of our
neutrality come by the air lanes Unto
Canada or Alaska), watch for an out
burst of public alarm and indignation.

Invaded Finland and China are
both holding out more hope than at
any recent time. Finland has told the
Allied governments that heavy SHOWS
(which have come) and urgently
needed supplies will enable her to
stand off the Russian invaders until
spring. 1t is said the particular ter
rain involved in fighting does not offer
space for large Russian reinforce
ments. Unless Finnish troops are cut
down to a point where requirements
are no longer available, because of
small population, she will fout the
statements of military authorities here
who claimed a Russian victory was
only matter of weeks.
The Chinese ambassador has told
the White House his country is not
so hard pressed as many believe; that
they are starting a series Of attacks
on Japan on all fronts.
A mass meeting of japanese politi-
cal and military leaders in Tokyo
urged that government to stand
against cooperation with the Soviet
Union; to take note of underground
Communist activities; to terminate
the undeclared war in China; and to
avoid a complex against views favor
able to United States and Great
Britain.
Will Japan's name be added to the
ultimate lineup of world powers
against Communist Russia? Factors
against this outcome include the re-
ported opening of negotiations Jan.
10 for trade agreement between the
two nations. Their trade volume in
years since the Russian revolution,
however, has been relatively small.
Japan's promise to the United
States to open the Yangtze River is
interpreted in official quarters as not
entailing any weakening of her posi-
ton. She controls the Yangtze route,
even if open. A great part of our
goods sold in the Shanghai-Nanking
area (all in japanese hands) are now
transported by rail, truck, and coolie
back River transport would not bring
an appreciable increase in trade.
The greatest advantage would be
gained by relieving shipping conges-
ton in Shanghai-which would be to
Japan's interests, as well as ours.

lay-off)
If we get the forty-two hours every
week,
We'd do very nicely and not have to
seek
A way of making both ends meet
To keep people from thinking my man
a dead-beat.
What l want to know is how to buy
toys
And all that makes for Christmas joys,
Corrections, games, tree lights and
icicles.
Why some children are even expecting
bicycles!
Sweaters, shoes and socks, be they
ever so neat,
Do not make for children the right
Christmas treat.
Add to the price of nice big tree,
A wreath for the window for all to see.
These extras that alone seem incon-
sequential
On a suit, as a starter, would be
substantial.
And moreover, we need load of coal.
That takes the most of five dollars,
all told.
These and a hundred more thoughts
all in reason
Take possession of parents during
Christmas season.
Wouldn't you think we would learn
not to borrow
Thoughts that tend to worry us, from
tomorrow?
For on Christmas day, bright and
early,
We have never yet found a person
that's surly.
Then everyone watching baby laugh
with glee
AS he grabs this and that from the
First thing, Baby Johnny grabs up
his horn
And toots while we sing of the King
that is born.
And four-year old Mary starts and
starts again
With her colored blocks building
Castles in Spain.
All forgotten is our scheming and
planning
Of the last few weeks, that were so
unmanning
And the things we bought at the ten
cent store,
And fully expected to be bore,
Are just the things that give the most
joy
To our little girl and our little boy,
And the twin sweater sets for our
girls in the teens,
Took the place of the costume jewelry,
it seems.
Placed in a corner, the tree did not
take
Extra trimmings with just half to
decorate.
And the lower limbs we cut from the
tree
We used in the window where all I'd
Two branches crossed with a light in
the center
Looked nicer than any wreath you
could enter
In this game of cutting garments
to fit the CLOTH"
For an innovation we weren't sloth.
With a song in our heart we retell
the story
Of Peace on earth and to God On
High, Glory
And as we are singing a Santa Clause
song
We find, with surprise, that the morn
ing's most gone.
No time now for incoming, we have
to hurry
And get big dinner. We're soon in
furry.
We paid cash for it all, down to each
building block,
But it'll take us to March to get our
watch out of hook.

Accustomed to fair dealing and
