THOSE WICKED FINNS
New York Times)

New York Times)
How long before Moscow tells us that
Finland is again plotting capitalist
imperialst attack against the Soviet Un-
ion? The TaSs agency seems to be dust
ing off its files of last November and
cabling the same old stories to the capital
ist-imperialist world. The Finnish press,
we read once more, is campaigning
against pro-soviet elements in Finland.
A member of the Society for Friendship
and Peace with the USSR is reported to
have been killed in Helsinki; the murder
er is identified as a Canadian, but at any
moment the Tass agency will discover
that he was a pure-blooded Finn, men,
ber of Baron Mannerheims' White guard.
Perhaps we shall soon hear of frontier
incident in Karelia, and we shall be told
that RuSsia'S patience can endure no
more.
1t is tragic to see the darkness thus
gathering around Finland again, after
so much heoroism and sacrifice in the
winter war. Premier Molotoff complain
ed the other day that some Firms are
trying to prevent the development of
'good-neighborly" relations with Russia.
But to a Russian or German or an Ital-
ian, good-neighborlines means subserv-
ience and nothing else The Firms are
not yet subservient enough, apparently,
to hold travesty of an election, to vote
SO and 44-1O0ths per cent for Commun-
ist regime, to rush spontaneously" into
soviet arms, as the Baltic states did. This
is Finland's only crime this is why the
excuse-factory in the Kremlin is busy
with Finnish affairs once more

ENOUGH GLAMOR WITHOUT
THE HOLLYWOOD TOUCH

Most cheering bit of information in the
announcement that CaleXico will hold Its
Desert Cavalcade Feb. 20 is the statement
that there will be no Hollywood frills
on the border city's big celebration.
1t will be of the desert, by the desert
but for anyone who cares to come.
There are all too few celebrations left
in the United States which have NOT given
way to the Hollywood musical comedy
Influence. If Calexico can keep hers
among those few, she will be doing her.
SELF Imperial Valley as a whole, and
spectators from all over the country the
biggest kindness of all.
The Cavalcade, as it was presented last
year, was an inspiring thing in the true
meaning of that word. 1t was living
pageant of pioneer days, staged by the
sons and daughters of pioneers-and by
the pioneers themselves, for that matter.
1t enshrined the memory of hardship and
triumph and struggle, and Its shrine was
built of the materials the pioneers used.
When the real thing is there to work
with why call upon the gaudy tinsel and
empty false fronts of Hollywood? Why
be synthetic when reality is at hand?
Why give way to the spurious personall-
ties of filmdom when the real, human,
persevering qualities of the desert are
available?
If Hollywood wants any part of the
Desert Cavalcade, let the film celebrities
look on. If promoters want to instill the
falseness of Hollywood in the grand pay
cant of the frontier, send them packing.
Nobody could do better job than Cal
exicans themselves did last season, unless
it is the Calexicans who do it. More pow
er to them

u. S. Army capacity for produc-
ing small arms-badIy neglected
before start of the new defense
programs expanding so rapidly
that 10000 rifles a month are in
sight.
The arsenal situation as whole
however, is not too good. Most
equipment is old, has not been re-
placed or modernized since the
World War. Many techniques are
outmoded, and production bottle
necks" hold up mass production
The army has only six arsenals.
Right now the Springfield. Mass.
arsenal is manufacturing 1000 of
the new semi-automatic MI OF
Garand rifles month and this rate
is being doubled Immediately. Man.
ufacture of the Garand utilizes all
new equipment.
When production at the Win
chester, Conn, private plant be-
gins in October the total will pro-
bably reach 10000 or $4,000. And
this does not take into account a
third source to be added shortly

SECURITY?

Rumania bowed to Hungary's territor-
ial demands at the ultimatum of Ger
maryland Hungary agreed to preferred
treatment of German minorities in Hun
gary in order to win Germany to her
side. Rumania said she acted in order
to gain security for her frontiers Hun
gary declared she entered the agreement
in order to prevent trouble in the Bal
kans.
What security can either of the small
nations feel now?
Hungary and Rumania must allow all
Germans within their frontiers to go their
own way as they please. make their own
laws, hold their own courts, conduct their
that, should GerE>any win the war with
England, it would not be long before
th~s German ninorities would make of
Hungary and Rumania vassal states or
downright provinces of Greater Germany.

Willis Thornton's Editorial On:

land" Well. those last three are
bases of any state. AS to capitalism,
it may be possible to organize a
state without private property and
individual initiative, and retain
freedom-all we know is that it
has never been done.
No present French official holds
office by the votes of his fellow
citizens. Is that the mark of a
republic? No one may hold office in
France unless born in France of a
French father. Is that democratic
restriction, The new French consti-
tuition provides state regulation of
religion the family. youth, speech
and the press. Is that liberty?
France may, as the marshal sug-
gests, become again republic. But
it isn't now and foundations have
been laid for something quite diff
ferent. What is built on those
foundations we shall see.

ADVISORY IS
NOT ENOUGH
(Wall Street Journal)

i, Whether Senator Byrd's threat of a
congressional investigation of the nation
al defense advisory commission is iusti-
fled or not one thing is clear President
Roosevelt should put an end to a situa-
tion which even permits an honest public
servant to believe himself called upon
to demand such thing The position of
the defense commission has been dubious
from the moment of its creation It's
authority was then and still remains un-
defined if indeed it has any real author
ity beyond that which the President sees
fit to allow it ION a 24-hour basis" The
idea of an advisory body being charged
with the execution of great production
program is itself an anomaly.
The Wall Street Journal does not ques-
tion the Presidents firm purpose to ere
ate national defense adequate to this
time of world turmoil. Mistakes have been
made, but they are errors of judgment,
not of ultimate intention. Serious among
them was that of charging the newly
created defense commission with respon-
sibility = seeming responsibility, at any
rate-for the accomplishment of defense
works without at the same time vesting
In it the appropriate power to perform
its great task. The relations between
the Commission and the Army and Navy
departments and the commission and the
chief executive have never been precisely
defined 1t is little short of miracle
that in these circumstances the commits
sion has been able to function as we be-
lieve it has brilliantly done. That it has
funitioned within such limits gives the
lie to the assertion so freely made in
irresponsible quarters that private in
dustry is on a sit-down strike against
of Hnfn Put fbo CT lr,fpn
of its creation and of its legal status work
against its effectiveness. They should
be altered forthwith.
If an expanded navy, a modernly equip
ped army and a formidable air power
are as urgent for us as the President has
declared them to be-,and they are-the
defense commission should be at once
placed in position for maximum effec-
tiveness.

WOULD THE NAzIS DO IT?

"Britons standing around the entrance
of hotel,' said news dispatch Satur-
day, actually cheered in admiration of
the daring of four German fliers maneuv-
ering to attack the balloon barrage under
intensive fire from the British defenders
There you have the story of Great
Britain-and the proof that Great Brit
ain is not the decaying nation her enemies
have led themselves to believe her.
How can one sentence tell so much?
Only the brave can cheer bravery in
an enemy; weaklings attempt to belittle
it, or shield their eyes from it. Courage
built the British empire; courage will
keep it alive Only when courage leaves
its people will Britain perish. That is
the story.
Would Germans, standing around the
entrance to a hotel in Berlin, cheer the
daring of British pilots under similar
conditions?
We wonder. s

Who says France under the new
constitution will not be republic?
It is Marshal Petain speaking.
with plaintive defiance.
What France will be. no one
knows. It is not a republic today
The American people have con-
siderable sympathy for France. That
sympathy began when Frenchmen
and France helped the struggling
colonies to gain their liberty. True
the debt of Lafayette was generally
regarded as paid in full in 1917-18
But Amerians have liked the spirit
of Frenhmen and of France.
There IS today and there always
will be in the United States a SYM
pathetic interest in the French peo-
pie. But that does not imply sim
ilarly sympathetic interest in any
particular government under which
they may be forced TO live at any
given moment. The American people
are bound to watch intent1y the
development Of the Petain-Laval
experiment III France.
Certainly France is no republic
today The whole country is now
under the German heel Nothing
can be done without the approval
Of the German invaders. True, they
disclaim interest in or responsibility
for the French government. But it
is clear that it is not an independent
government. Therefore it cannot be

the islands are such a minor market
for American goods and SO very
far away.
John @. may not know it, but
some of the things he uses most
often come-in part. at least
from the Dutch East Indies.
The last figures issued on this by
the Department of Commerce are
for 1888. America imported from
the Dutch East Indies 4,245,00C
pounds of rattan, 1,156000 pounds
of citronella oil, and 1,343,00C
pounds of cinchona bark from
which quinine is procured.
Crude rubber is one of the most
important of all American imports
We imported 223, 3,699, 900 pounds
from the islands, this being 262 pei
cent of the total for America.
Unless you are in certain lines
Of business you probably never
heard of kapok and jelutong. Ka-
pok is the thing mattresses, pill
lows and cushions are often stuff
fed with, and 80 per cent comes
from these Indies.
Jelutong is mixed with chicle
in the making of chewing gum
More thar. one-third comes from
the Indies.
Many a grocer sells a blended
coffee which is called a mixture OF
Mocha and Java.
Java is from the Dutch indies
to the tune of 100000 pounds
The Dutch East Indies supply one
third of the tea drunk in Ameri-
ca, ranking next to Ceylon and
ahead of India and Japan.
The Indies have almost a mo-
nopoly in pepper used in America,
supplying 49,000,000 pounds out of
52,000000 Nutmeg and mace also
come largely from there. The In
dies supply almost all the tapioca.

Are You
Superstitious?
BY RUTH FARRAR
NEA Special Correspondent

Do you believe fat people are in
variably good natured that red
headed people are always high
tempered that quiet people are
more intelligent than their roWdier
brethren?
Many people do says DR.. B. A
Cartwright of the University of
Oklahoma. DR.. Cartwright, who's
spent 80 years gathering more than
10000 popular American supersti-
tions finds these are some of the
common beliefs about personal
traits: #s=..=a -
A flat hand indicates a good dis
position.
A weak mind and strong back
go together.
A high forehead is a sign of in
telligence
Narrowness between the eyes is
the sign of a sneak.
Blends are not as trustworthy as
brunets. -
A square jaw indicates will pow
er. H5s#H=
Slender. sensitive hands indicate
artistic ability.
Long thumbs indicate stubborn
disposition.
A protruding chin is a sign OF
pugnacity.
A pointed elbow is a sign of a
sour disposition.
People with green eyes are not
to be trusted.
A person with black eyes has a
very hot temper. ~ -
If your fingers do not fit closely
together it is a sign you are
spendthrft.
People with long thin cars can
keep a secret
A small mouth indicates stingi-
ness; a large mouth indicates gem
erosity. -
A dimple in the chin means devil
ment within.
Teeth set far apart Indicate a
strong impulse toward wandering
or travelling. 9I##
II you look old while young, YOU
will look younger as the years come
on. =## H##
A homely baby will become "a
beautiful woman or a handsome
man. -.
Badness is caused by an excessive
use of the brain.
Cold hands indicate an affec-
Tomato nature. s#H
A child born on Wednesday will
have a good memory.
To tickle baby's feet will cause
it to stutter.
If a child talks before it walks
its tongue will be its ruin.
The young lady who sits with
her thumbs resting inside her
hand will be dominated by her
husband, while II her thumbs
are extended, she will rule the
household.
If the lines on Woman's fore
head bend at the ends she is a
scold.
If You believe many of these
suprestitions, it's time to stop and
consider. Two Columbia university
professors who spent four years dig
ging up research to explode super
stitions. have annuonced that most
of our firmly grounded beliefs on
personal traits aren't true.

WATERFOWL MAKES ONE
GUN AT A TIME

Frankfort arsenal in Pennsylva-
MIA manufactures small arms and
artillery ammunition and fire-con-
troll instruments. Small arms manu-
featuring facilities are good, partic-
ularly for making so caliber car
tridgeS for machine guns. Some eff
cient new machines have been in
stalled for operations necessary in
machining shell cases.
WatertoWn, Mass, arsenal builds
coast defense guns and constructs
mounts ard does the rough work
on the barrels of 3-inch anti-ail-
craft guns. which are then finished
at Watervliet.
WatertoWn arSenalS equipment is
large and nearly 85 per cent of it
is more than 90 years old. Facilities
for the anti-aircraft gun provide
for only one gun at a time. Most
of the army's three-inch anti-air-
craft guns have been made by a
private manufacturer.
Facilities for the new 81 and 90
nm. anti-aircraft guns are not yet
available, but specifications are in
the hands of several private manu-
facturers. and building will have
priority in the armament program.
Picatinny arsenal in New Jersey
does two iobs--it manufactures
powder and loads shells. The pow
der plant while small has been
able to maintain the most mcdern
processes. ~
Shell loading, unlike most arm
ament processes, remains largely a
hand operation. This is serious
bottleneck in large scale manufac-
ture
Picatinny, newest of our arsenals,
is fairly well equipped.
Rock Island, Ill, only arsenal not
in the northeastern quarter of the
nation, does two types of work.
1t builds tanks, armored cars and
gun mounts. And it does redesign-
ing and undermining.
Welding fabrication to tighten
gun carriages aEd mounts has been
an outstanding example Of this
work. Because of World War con-
structlon, Rock Island is capable
OF tremendous expansion.
