INCLUSIVE PROTECTION

All of us have some realization OF
the value of life insurance to protect
dependents. and to assure for our
selves an adequate old-age income.
Comparatively few know that life
insurance can also be used for null
titude of other vital tasks.
For example. policies are written
to guarantee future education for
children. Other policies will guaran-
tee that a home mortgage be paid of.
in the event of the wage earner's
death. Others have been framed to
care for contingencies that may arise
from the death of a partner in a
business enterprise. Others provide
for protection against business rever-
ses.
So it goes. down a long list. Life
insurance has come long way since
it was an instrument for protecting
dependents, and little else. And the
American people have come a long
way with it in the all-important mat
ter of inclusive economic protection.

THE GREAT DESTROYER

Fire, the great destroyer, has been
in fine fettle this summer.
Fire, raging and uncontrolled, has
made black and barren and ugly,
thousands of acres of the nations
finest forest land. Fire has turned
pleasant homes into smoking piles of
debris. Fire has ravaged factories,
and added men and women to the
long rolls of the jobless. Fire has
marched irresistibly through farms,
killing livestock, razing buildings,
and running crops.
A few of these fires may be un-
avoidable. But they are very few
Indeed, and so rare as to be hardly
worth mentioning. Eighty per cent
of all fires, say the experts. could
have been prevented. They need new
er have occurred. But they did oc-
cur-because someone was thought
less, someone was careless, someone
was ignorant, someone took chance.
Back of all these fires, great and
small alike, lies the human element.
A cigarette butt tossed from a speed
ing cara camp fire not quite extin-
guished-a cleanup job left undone
till tomorrow vacant lot left to
dry, untended weeds-these are the
things that make fire, this year, last
year, next year.
There can be no recompense for
the fires of the past-unless 1t is in
q general campaign to prevent the
fires Of the future. 1t can be done.

THE ACORN AND THE OAK

There has been such q crusade
against so-called big business for
some years past, that many persons
get a warped idea of what is big
business and what is little business
Where does little bushes sstop and
big business begin? Should a busi-
ness be prohibited by law from grow
ing beyond a certain point? Where
should a mans energies be curtailed
Where should service TO the public
be restricted?
Newspapers recently carried the
story of the gath anniversary Of the
Safeway Stores-the second largest
food retailing organization in the
United States. This institution grew
from one mans determination to buy
foodstuffs direct from suppliers, ELI
inmate in-between commissions and
costs, and pass the savings on to con-
sumers.
The founder Of Safeway Stores had
no subsidies, no special privileges, no
outstanding opportunity - he just
started a one-horse store based on
his ideas of service to the public, in
the little town of American Falls,
Idaho. The rapid expansion of his
venture was beyond his own widest
dreams.
A similar history can be recorded
for the ]. C. Penney Co. which start
ed with one store in one of the most
sparsely settled parts of the United
States-Kemmerer, Wyoming. SINH
lar instances could be cited for Am
erican businesses and industries too
numerous to mention. Such business
es could not have grown as they have
except as the result of unusual SER
vice to the public, for purchases are
purely voluntary.
The United States wouldn't be the
nation it is today if handicaps had
been placed ON ambitious individuals,
which limited the development of
their ideas or enterprises.
So when you talk about big busi-
ness" check back a generation and
see if it wasn't little business" to
begin with. The same opportunities
exist today. Is ii the part of wisdom
to limit those opportunities by legis-
latiOn or taxation which curbs the
fullest play of individual initiative in
seeking to rende ra better public SER
vice?

THE WRINGER is STARTED

1t took Congress a long time tC
awaken to the fact that our debt
breeding fiscal policy was leading
the nation rapidly toward bankrupt
cy. But, judging by the session
which has recently closed, the ma
jority of the lawmakers finally awak-
ened.
The action of Congress in sharply
reducing appropriations all along the
line. and in fatty refusing to pass
more radical emergency" legisla-
tion, has earned that body the graft
tude of the thinking people of this
country: 1t has encouraged busi-
ness, and given the advocates of COM
mon sense. who were long routed by
the free spenders. a revival of Op-
timism. And, to some extent. it has
cleared away clouds that Obscured
the future.
All this will be true, Of course, only
If succeeding congresses hew to the
same line. And, in addition, they must
go farther. II is not enough to re-
duce one years deficit, as this Con-
gress did. Deficits must be elimi-
mated. and government outgo brought
sharply in line with income. II is not
enough to refuse to levy new taxes
after a definite program for orderly
retirement of today's national debt
has been put into effect, means must
be found for cutting existing taxes.
So the economy activities of the
last Congress must be regarded as a
work just well started. The finish is
far in the future. Infinite patience,
labor and courage will be needed to
return this country to honest fiscal
sOlvency. Wringing the water out
Of our national financial structure
won't be an easy Of pleasant job
but II must be done.

Beating The Devil
Round The Bush

When the Mexican Government
confiscated $3.50, 100000 of foreign
oil properties owned principally by
British and American subjects the
Lion roared and the Eagle peeped
The Mexicans were hard-boiled in
their replies to all protests and said
that they intended to keep the prop
critics. as fOrward-step in Presi-
dent Cardenas' six-year plan for the
"Mexicanization of industry" accord
ing to the revolutionary of the Ma
tional Revolutionary Party.
The British Government stood by
the rights of ownership of its citi-
lens, and backed its charge that in
its affairs with Mexico His Males
ty's Government find that one injus-
tice becomes the basis for others. "
The tate Department at Washington
issued hot press releases, then began
side-stepping. AS soon as it was ap-
parent that Washington had the is
sue in a pigeon-hole, Mexico sold the
oil and kept all the money.
Great Britain severed diplomatic
relations with Mexico, and stated
that il placed no credence in the
promise that Mexico would pay for
the confiscated properties in 10 years
or ever-because the records show
ed that Mexico did not pay its inter
national debts. The London Govern
ment stated that il recognized the
Monroe Doctrine. and that one of its
reasons in stepping aside was a de-
sire not to involve the United States
In nhls0ofsnw, 80
roe Doctrine for the defense of Mexi-
co. England had reasonable expecta-
tions that the United States would
press its own equally important
claims. If so, England has the same
reason as we have in the United
States to wonder about all this beat
ing the devil round the bush.
Our own administration had to
save its face, somehow. 1t began to
turn the heat on demands for a set
tlement of farm land coniscations
that had been lodged by Mexico for
over 20 years. Mexico refused, point
blank. to settle; then stalled, and
finally. bought the olive branch by
Offering to pay 10 million dollars in
installments over a period of ten
years. The bargain price skipped all
interest charges. Our State Depart
ment announced settlement, with
flourishes. Everyone
knew that the affair concerned pin
money as compared to the principles
and sums involved in the oil contro-
versies. But attention had been di-
rected away from the oil confisca-
tions, and that issue became officially
as stagnant as a mill pond in dog
days.
Was Uncle ans face red? Anyway,
the United States started beating the
devil round the bush some more, and
in the meanwhile giving repeated as
surances to the British that we would
stick by them through thick and thin,
if Hitler kept on bothering them.
The real international tragedy ex-
lists in the way the Monroe Doctrine
operated in helping to defraud the
British as well as the United States
out of millions of dollars of proper
ties that had been seized without re-
gard to law and justice by the Mexi- !
can Government.
Isn't it time to quit beating the |
devil round the bush and get down |
to business and give a demonstration |
to Mexico that will convince her that |
the purpose of the Monroe Doctrine |
is to protect honesty? That Doctrine |
never was intended to aid dishonesty. |

"Just ais Good"

When the World War was in bios
som the demands for cotton multi
piled because cotton was a base pro-
vided in the manufacture of explo-
sives. Foreign fighting nations are
not restricted from buying our cot
ton. In fact the U. S. is willing to
pay part of the export tax. The draw
back is that smart foreigners have
developed substitutes for cotton lust
as good" for the manufacture of ex-
plosives.
