Col. Willard Chevalier En-

American business must look ahead and seek new fields for ex- pansion, declared Col. Willard Chew alier, vice-president of the McGraw- Hill Publishing Go. and well-known Financial writer, in a talk before a aoint meeting of the Rotary and kiwanis clubs at The Elton yester- day.
 Business gains and general pros- perity, he said, must have two ini- bortant factors, a sound financial foundation and increases in con- sumption of goods.
 we must carry on and expand with the vision of what Is coming Ahead" he said.
 Tt has been often said that American business leadership is poor," Col. Chevalier continued. bThis may have been true in the past, but the past six weeks of an upward trend in business has shown that American business statesman ship is at its best. We must stand on our feet and display brand of business statesmanship better than ever before if this business rise is expected to continue"
 Col. Chevalier has been chief draftsman of the Consolidated Tele. graph and Electrical Subway Co.,. and assistant engineer with the ra- bid transit system in New York. A colonel in the engineering reserve corps, he s the author of the col- umn, ,'The Trading Post" in the magazine, Business Week."

 Estimates of the Administration's income in the year beginning July i, 1940, show revenues of more than $22, 1000, 900. This amount will be sufficient to cover expenses, which probably will be about the same as this year, or 4l3, ,000,O 900, and to add more than $8,500, 900 to the Mort- gage Insurance Fund and the Hous- ing Insurance Fund, maintained to meet possible losses on mortgage insurance.
 Income Rises Steadily
 Income of the FILA has been ris- ing steadily, MT. Mcdonald said; next year 1t will take e further jump due to the growing volume of mortgage-insurance business and the institution of an insurance pre- miurn for lenders under the Title 1 modernization and repair loan program. At the same time, in- creased efficiency will permit the FILA to conduct its opreations with- out increase in cost.
 Up to now the FILA has paid a major part but not all of its oper- ating expenses out of income. The remainder in @ decreasing amount. has been paid by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation upon the au- thorization of Congress. This was dcne to enable the FILA to main. tain oflces in sparsely settled states where the volume of business was not suficient to put the FILA on a completely self-sustaining basis while 1t was building up its insur- ance reserves out of income.

EUROPE
Var or Peace?

War or long negotiations, either
may be the outcome of the diplo-
matte exchanges now proceeding be-
tween London and Berlin. Much de-
ponds upon the nature of Hitler's re-
ply to the latest message from the
British cabinet. Tension is high in
all European capitals, war threats
still hold the stage and before these
lines reach the reader, the clash of
arms may be resounding in Europe.
But hope for a peaceful settlement
over Poland has not been aban-
doned.
The British and French, apparent
ly, are willing to concede something
to Germany, but by no means all
that Hitler demands. The showdown
may come quickly.
1t is apparent that each side is
trying to bully the other with its
bellicose intentions in order to force
some sort of deal to avert war.
The latest British note, it was said,
shows willingness to facilitate
negotiated settlement between Ger
many and Poland. It also contained
a fiat warning that any German
threat to the independence of Po-
land would find Britain and France
fighting on the side of the Poles.
It is evident that at last the pa
tience of France and Britain has

Pull Out the Plug Is WatchaUord of Crafty Netherlands;
Land of bikes Prepares Resist Inuader in Next War

LONDON. - The Netherlands
II marshy subsoil may obvi-
ate construction of magnificent
defense lines like Frances
Maginot and Belgium's Liege,
but the resourceful Dutchmen
are counting on another scheme
if some nation should invade
their frontiers.
They'll simply open the
dikes, flood their land and
make the invader swim for his life.
Although this expensive procedure
would be used only as a last resort,
the Netherlands are in an unenvia-
BILE position. Since both Belgian and
French frontiers are considered al
most impregnable, an invader seek
ing entree to those countries would
logically work through Holland.
The country's defense would fol-

would mean that more than 16, 000,-
600 Americans now reside in terri
tory from which liquor is barred.
Why has the dry movement spread
so rapidly in the farming districts?
The answers range all the way from
the rural accident problem caused
by drunken drivers and tipsy pedes-
TRANS, to increases in crime and
rising juvenile delinquency. But that
doesn't tell the entire story.
Follows Tradition, Says Authority.
One of the most plausible explana-
tons was given by Martin Nelson,
secretary of the Kelley institute, of
Dwight, ILL.,, sanitarium for the
treatment of alcoholism. Rural
America is simply running true to
form, he says and he bases his
statement on the 60-year experience
of the institute in observing the ebb
and flow of temperance.
In banning intoxicants," Mr.. Mel
son declared, farming areas and
smaller towns are for the most part
returning to the status they occu-
pied before prohibition. They have
been additionally dry for century.
1t is only natural they should lead
the parade today.
''That rural America is dry in
practice as well as theory is indi-
Gated by the records of patients
treated for alcoholism at the Kelley
institute. A recent survey showed
that only 16 per cent of the habitual
drinkers come from farms and
country towns. And although farm
ers rank near the top numerically
among our patients, this can be ex-
planned by the fact that farmers as
a class far outnumber any other
single occupation or group of occu-
pations.
Cites Public Disgust
'But while the country districts
are following their normal DISPOSE
ton on the wet-dry issue, it cannot
be denied that one of the major fac
tors encouraging the spread of pro-
hibition in rural areas as well as
in cities is public disgust over the
way drinking establishments are OPP
Grated. People were told that with
repeal the saloon was never coming
back. But it did come back in many
states and in a form far more VII
cious than ever before"
Whether big cities will follow the
rural districts in going dry depends
to a good extent on whether the
growing resentment of law-abiding
citizens against rowdy saloon opera
ton can be stemmed.
The increase in dry sentiment
throughout the country in the past
year has been accompanied by a de-
crease in the total gallonage of al
coholic beverages consumed. One
of the anomalies of this situation,
however, is that while beer drinking
has registered a marked decline,
the consumption of hard liquor has
actually shown a rise Beer con-
sumption fell off 79,389,0 gallons
in the II months ending May 81,
1889, compared with the correspond
ing period of 1888. At the same time
hard liquor consumption increased
by 1852, 1888 gallons. The net decline
in all alcoholic beverages consumed
amounted to 72,756,2 28 gallons.

Rural America Leads New Dry Trend
AS Nation Deserts Beer Barrel Polka
By JAMES HARRISON

CReleased by Western Newspaper Union.)
MYTH the national pendu-
w lun swinging from tip
ping to temperance, rural
America is climbing back on
the water wagon.
There's little fanfare or
hurrah about this new prohi-
bition crusade. The tradi-
tional temperance groups are
apparently playing but a
minor part. The movement
is growing in spite of cam
paigns by enlightened ele-
ments among the distillers urging
temperance in drinking.
Local option is the process which
is making the wet spots dry.
More than 1000 communities have
voted "dry" since prohibition was
repealed 5R years ago, prominent
research organization estimates. The
majority of these have been in rural
areas.
Counting the districts that re-
manned steadfastly dry in the face
of repeal, there are today at least
10000 communities in which beer
and booze are outlawed. This rep
resents about one-fourth of all the
townships, rural precincts, counties
and villages in the United States.
Rapid Growth Significant?
An America only one-fourth dry
might not be regarded as ominous
to the vets, when compared with
the situation preceding the adop-
ton of the Eighteenth amendment.
At that time 80 per cent of all town.
ships and rural precincts, IS per
cent of all counties and rs per cent
of all the villages in the United
States had their own form of prohi-
bition.
But the rapidity with which the
new dry movement is gaining
ground today is significant of a
changing public sentiment. Thou
sands of local option elections are
scheduled for ballot this fall. In
Pennsylvania alone 492 precincts
will hold wet-dry contests.
Some ardent drys predict that
when the votes are counted this au-
tumn, at least 5000 communities
will have entered the dry belt since
repeal. This may be overoptimistic,
but it is not being entirely laughed
out of court by impartial observers.
How the dry forces have tri-

'Rumors' Cost Dime Dozen
In Secretive Dictator Lands

D ONE. - Those "uncon-
IN firmed reports" and "ru-
mors" your newspaper brings
from Rome, Berlin and other
totalitarian cities may prove
in the end to be false-but
don't blame your newspaper!
In both Germany and Italy,
where news must filter
through a ministry of propaganda
before painstaking censors decide
whether it should be released, the
most fantastic rumor may prove to
be true. On the other hand, very
logical report from some distant
province may have been entirely
false. The foreign correspondent has
a choice of waiting several days
until the story is dead" and
thus having it denied or confirmed
by the propaganda ministry, or he
can take a chance and release it
as rumor.
Mystery of Eye Doctor.
Mussolini and Hitler are both men
of mystery whose comings and 60
ings make big news. Yet lucky in
deed is the foreign correspondent
who can pierce the veil of secrecy
and send his paper an authenticat-
ed story. Recently Mussolini made
a secret visit into northern Italy
which produced three rumors for
correspondents Take your pick: ID
He was going to Switzerland to con-
suit an eye specialist; (2) he was
meeting Hitler in the Bremen pass;
(3) he was meeting German diplo-
mat and the Swiss eye specialist at
Venice. Not until almost week
later did the ministry of popular
culture (known as Pop Cult" to
correspondents give reporters the
story. Several of them got severe
dressings-down for having issued
false reports, yet no one could have
expected them to ignore II Duce's
trip.
Troop Train Panic.
Similarly, the world was startled
several months ago by reports that
German troops were passing south
ward through Bremen pass for re-
shipment by boat to Italian colonies
in Italy. This was a sensational
story, substantiated by respected
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-09-07

given as to probable developments.
The government, it was reported,
had abandoned consideration of
measures to strengthen the anti
comitern pact, which allied Japan
with Rome, Berlin and Hungary.
japanese newspapers were virtually
agreed that the anti-comitern pact
is dead as result of the German
Russian pact.
The Japanese army was prompt
in giving their unqualified approval
to the cabinets action in severing
ties with Germany.
Finding it impossible to make
the adjustments made necessary by
the German-Russian pact, the Jap
anese cabinet resigned and a new
cabinet is being formed.
