England's Stock Rises

Brigadier General George v. Strong chief of the
War Plans Division of the United States Army, return
ing from military observation mission in England, has
boosted hopes for the survival of Britain higher than
they have been since the fall Of France. His report
England and will win the war;" was the first real
expert prediction have been able to obtain since the
conflict started and it cannot be discounted
General Strong did not suggest that England
out of the woods by any means He emphasized that
long, hard struggle lay ahead He declared that British
production of airplanes and other materials has
increased steadily and that the morale of the people
has stood up well under the Nazi bombings.
Every discussion of the European war has neces-
sary included the question: How England VIM"
Obviously General Strong felt that he had found
answer Prime Minister Churchill and other British
leaders evidently have felt they knew the way for
time, having repeatedly spoken of the hour when Eng
land would be able to strike back at Germany.
Their calculations necessarily are based first on the
tain their factory output despite invasion
tinued air btzkriegs At the present production rate
they figure that England will have sufficient planes and
other materials TO drive the Nazs back to home bases
by 1912 at the latest From that point they expect
the naval blockade and the Royal Air Force to beat
their foes into submission by making the German peo
pie realize the futiity of trying to beat England In
other words, they hoping to make this end
did the last one, by breakup of Germany from within
On the other hand, responsible British sp0kes-
will deny that England still needs the supplies she
is buying in this country. And with General Strongs
word for it that Britain win should feel fewer
qualms about sending aid. If Hitler's armies be
stopped the other side of the Atlantic, should

Youth, New Vanishing American

Early figures released the recent national census
indicate number of trends, but significant
than the fact that during the last decade the percentage
of increase in total population was smaller than
at any time in history Behind this sackening growth
has been steady decline in the national birth rate,
which dropped again in the last ten years.
Our birth rate began to decline seriously little
more than Is years ago, according to findings.
BY that time, the influx of citizens from foreign
lands had practically ceased, in comparison with the
enormous numbers of immigrants who came here be-
fore the turn of this century The death rate also has
declined, but only about one quarter rapidly the
birth rate.
Even the most observant of cannot discern the
effects of this trend in everyday contacts 1t to
that there just about as many youngsters at
social affairs and other gatherings and almost as many
children playing about the community. But effects
have been felt already especially in elementary
schools For several years reports from almost every
section of the country have told of smaller enromens
in first grade classes cannot be long before the de-
in youngsters makes itself felt in other quarters
AS matter of national Importance these effects
feared for their future results, not as an mme-
date crisis History shows that steady and unchecked
declines in the national birth rate have been followed by
compete disaster for nation after nation Greece Rome
the Spanish and Austrian Empires and, most recently,
France
Since our own birth rate began to drop around 1924
cannot blame depression the chief cause though
economic conditions the present and general
rest and uncertainty surely among the for
its continuing today.

More Air and Naval Bases?

More or less expert observers of which we have
few than need-are wondering now just what
this country really received in the
deal with England OF course they know that we were
given the right to build military and naval outposts in
Newfoundland, Bermuda, Antigua and other points in
the Western Hemisphere. But in the last few days
word has leaked out that we may also obtain base
the western bulge of the African coast and the right
to use the great British facilities at Snapore and it's
at least bet that these privileges were IN
cluded in the destroyer swap.
Even before the fall of France the British knew
that they would be unable to maintain the full strength
of their forces in the Far East Their need for ships
planes and greater at home and in the Medi-
terranean That meant that their Asiatic squadron,
the only barrier to the advance of Japan toward the
rich Dutch and British possessions in the Indian Ocean
and toward Australia would longer be strong enough
for that task And with the threatened Japanese do
nation of French IndoChina vital American interests
became involved
Despite our rapidly progressing efforts to produce
synthetics we still desperately need rubber and tin
from the Orient in order to carry out our defense
program Furthermore, it is doubtful that we could
stand idly by and witness the conquest of Australia
and New Zealand by Japan.

What to Do
BY PHYLLIS BELMONT

+ RIENDS Of mine who were mar
u ried more than year ago have
returned from an extended business
trip and taken a house to live here
permanently. I want to give them
a surprise housewarming, but want
to have it an unusual and novel al
fair. Can you give me a sugges-
ton? MRS. Z. l.. L.
Answer-Here is surprise party
that is surprise all around-to the
invited guests and to the returning
friends. The guests will get their
surprise when they receive your in
vitations. for this is the way they
should read: To Mrs. Co. who IS
noted for her Italian cookery-"You
and a casserole of spaghetti are in
vited, ETC., ETC." To Miss D., who
makes delicious angel cake-"You
and a large angel cake. etc, ETC.,
and so on. "You and pound OF
butter" to a man; You and dozen
rolls to another man; You and q
jar of your spiced peaches" to some
one else: ''You and dozen bottles
of ginger ale'' to a group OF bache-
lors. The invitations start the fun,
which is brought to a climax when
all the guests and the good things
assemble to surprise Mr.. and Mrs.
Just Returned. The same idea can
be used in giving shower to a
bride-tO-be and in any number OF
other exciting ways.

Troy Laundry

The city of Troy, N. Y, the birth
place of the collar, cuff and shirt
industry, was practically the home
and for many years was the center
of the steam laundry interests Of
the country, an interest which has
extended to every city or place Of
any Importance in the land. So gen
eral is the recognition of this fact
that the name Troy laundry is re-
tanned by hundreds of laundries in
various parts of the United States
and is even seen abroad. II was
natural that the earliest organized
movement to produce the machines
demanded for laundering purposes
should have been made in Troy.
