UNCLE RAYS CORNER

We may see a cloud of dust above
the ground and say, THE air is
dusty" The fact is that air is dusty
even when we do not see the dust.
Government experts have made
counts" in hundreds Of places and
have found how many bits of dust
there are IN q small amount of air,
each hour Of the day and each day
Of the year.
The air over . high mountain
seems clear and pure, but 1t has at
least q little dust in 1t.
A little dust does no harm, but
. great deal Of dust is not good for
health. It is likely to hurt the
lungs and also keeps part Of the
sunshine from reaching people.
Where does the dust come
from?" we may ask, and the an
swer is that it comes from many
things. Winds whip it up from the
sandy desert, also from dry soil in
fields. Volcanoes send out clouds
Of ash, and the ash floats about as
dust. Meteors burn to cinders and
turn into dust. Worst of all, in
some places, chimneys belch forth
great clouds of smoke and the
smoke turns into dust.
1t Is interesting to look back on
old records of dust from volcanoes.

there that Scottish farmers blamed
it for the poor crops they had that
year.
In 1912 q volcano in the West
Indies sent millions of tons of dust
into the air. A great deal of 1t fell
on the Island of Barbados, 100 miles
distant. In fact, the fall of dust on
Barbados was estimated at 5000 900
tons. It was called May dust"
because 1t fell In May.

Dust in the Air

Three years later the Tomboro
Volcano in the Dutch East Indies
broke loose. We are told it sent
cubic miles of ashes and other ma
terial into the air, making dust fall
on an area Of over 1000 900 square
miles.
Many persons living today re-
member the strangely beautiful sun
sets Of the years from 1883 to 1885.
Those sunsets seem to have been
due to dust which arose from Kra-
katoa, q volcano on the western side
Of the Pacific. Winds blew the dust
around the world"
Although air all around the earth
has dust, 1t fills the air far more
in cities than it does in the country.
The reason is found In smoking
chimneys. We shall go into the

Writina the Platforms for 1910

Democrats and Republicans alike should be grateful to
Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio candidate for the COP
presidential nomination for the clearcut he offers
his party 1910 detectives though it Is negative and
not constructive in its approach.
Briefly here is what Taft wants the Republican party to
back:
Reduction of government and balancing of the
national budget.
2. Repeal of the payroll tax
Repeal of the capital gains tax 4 of increas
ing employment
4 Amendment of the wages and hours law to make it
amply minimum wage law
s. Amendment of the National Labor Relations Act,
which the senator contends is being administered one
sidedly.
s. Abandonment of attempts to fix prices in basic in
dustries
Z. Repeal of the Guffey Coal Act.
II Democrats willing to fight the campaign the
basis of these simple points the ground Is laid for the
1910 battle In other words, does the New Deal program
stand or fall?
Here are issues everyone can understand They
stated simply, and they vital affairs at home.
Whether or you agree with the views OF the senator
from Ohio the he outlines touch every citizen.
1t win be good idea for American citizens to remember
that this country long from solution of of its
harassng problems most of them centerng around
unemployment The will very likely be injected into the
campaign many times before the votes counted in No
vember 1940 But the is not issue should not be
an influence next years vote for the majority OF both
parties agree that the United States should stay out Oh It,
While it would be nice believe that the 1940 campaign
will be carried around simple as that pro-
posed by Senator Taft the final platforms adopted by both
parties will probably be nowhere nearly concise unlm-
porant issues likely to great proportions ana
the real disputes may be buried under deuge of words
Unfortunately that's the way platforms are usually
written And the voters for whom they intended will
have to guess at what they mean vote by instinct on
personalities.

CONFUSING PHILOSOPHERS
OF GOVERNMENT

Editor, The Times: The Ameri-
can public is getting fed up on
the hysteria and hullaballo that
has filled the papers and rever-
berated from the platform and
the radio, and is settling down to
see just what is going to happen.
1t is pretty definitely settled
that said public is not going to
be rushed into any panic about
war or referendum against war,
about neutrality or third term.
The nauseating publicity of the
Dies committee has made even
the investigation of un-American
activities unpopular.
The astounding alliance of
Hitler and Stain was much
more devastating To foreign-isms
than any attacks made by priv
ate or public agencies in the
United States. When the princi-
pals of the two antagonistic
PHILOSOPHERS shook hands in a
pact to promote national inter-
ests and appropriated smaller
countries as arbitrarily as any
capitalist ton might, it
stripped the veneer of equality
of opportunity and unselfish
sharing from the Soviet rule
and showed to the liberals of
this country that human nature
is pretty much the same the
world over and that no amount
of propaganda and theorizing
can insure stability or prevent
usurpation.
After the great hue and cry
about fascism and the domin-
anee of wealth in our nation it
must be a little confusing for
those fear mongers to learn that
Mussolini's star seems 10 have
passed its zenith and is begin
ming TO fade while the mon
archial system and the more
temperate reign of the king
seems to be gaining in favor in
Italy.
Our American system, as it
has been styled, may have had
its defects, and there are proba-
bly, many wrongs yet TO be cor
rected, but most of the people
have talked to who have been
abroad say things are so much
better in America that there Is
no comparison. Those of US who
are older know that our attempt
TO assist some European nations
TO set things Alright over there
resulted in disappointments all
around. We know We have no
business trying to settle their
quarrels. Our forefathers be-
heved we had a better govern
mental plan and a sounder eco
nomic base than any foreign
government and that they could
profit by our example rather
than that we could improve by
copying their systems.

The Corcoranites are determined
to prevent conservative business
men and industrialists from using
the war as an opportunity to get
their hands on the machinery of
government.
Should the crisis envelop the
u. S. more completely than now,
the brain trusters" intend to
ask for legislation controlling
prices. and to set up their own
price-fixing agency. Such step
would necessitate government
regulation of raw materials and
production quotas, and it is
toward that end that the national
planners are moving. The war.
instead of blasting their economic
reforms, would foster them.
They realize, however, that
agencies manned by outsiders
would probably die with the
emergency, and thus they would
make only temporary gains on
the economic front. But If they
can set up price-and-production
boards within the government
itself. they figure that these can
be continued as perman n
bodies. And so far they have
been extraordinarily successful
in resisting any move to dislodge
