A ROSE BY
ANY OTHER NAME

President Roosevelt told press con-
ference that suggestions for revising the
Johnson act to permit credits to Great
Britain were ''banal' and that any IDEA
of outright gifts to Great Britain is al
most banal," so he has devised methoo
whereby the United States Will puy the
war equipment Britain needs, ano theh
loan" the equipment to the Brush.
II strikes us as rather "banal" to sug-
gest that there is any difference IN loan
ing Great Britain money or equipment.
If we loaned the British money, the
money would never leave this country.
II would be spent for equipment manu-
factured here The only difference be
tween such a procedure and the Pfesl-
dents plan would be that Great Britain
would sign the check in one case, uncle
Sam in the other The money would stay
here the equipment would go over there
in either case.
And in either case, we haven't a ghost
of chance to get back what we preteHu
to be '.loaning.
We might as we'll be honest with our
selves. and admit that what we plan TO
do is give equipment to Great Britain,
and pay for it ourselves.
In this case, 1t can DO any ilafHi 10 pe
honest. because 80 out of 100 Americans
will applaud the transaction, Whatever
name is given it.
They say in Washington that Britain
will be required to send the equipment
back to us after the emergency is over.
We won't want it then.
In the first place, it will be obsolete.
In the second place, there won't be any
need for it, if Great Britain wins. And,
in the third place, there'll be lot OF 1t
the British can't send back.
An airplane cannot be returned to its
former owner after it has been blasted
into tiny fragments by anti-aircraft fire.
A tank cannot be sent home again after
bomb has landed right in the middle of
its coming tower.
So let's be honest with the British and
ourselves. and admit that we intend to
give them equipment.
It's good idea, whatever word you use.

SAVE The PEOPLE

The Workers Alliance-union of relief
recipients-wants the State Relief Ad-
ministration to use 100000 surplus as
of Dec. 81 to increase dole payments to
save the people"
The Workers Alliance is desperately
afraid some of the money allocated to
SRA this year is liable to find its way
back, directly or indirectly, into the pock-
cts of the taxpayers. And, judging by
past utterances of these professional re-
liefers, they are of the opinion it would
never, never do to let the taxpayer get
the idea that he's anything but pay sta
ton.
Out of the hardness of heart steeled
against the professional suffering of the
Workers Alliance, we refuse to sympa-
We're perfectly willing to admit that
We're perfectly willing to admit that
the people ought to be saved.
But we abide firmly in the conviction
that taxpayers are people.
And we insist that when there's a
chance to help the taxpayer over the ad-
ditional hurdle of national defense levies
that will confront him in 1941, that
chance ought to be taken.
The 100000 SRA surplus. if applied
correctly will give the taxpayers nice
little lift for 1941.
The poor fellows going to need it.

First American Chess Book.

What is the first American chess
book and where may I obtain a
copy?" is frequent query.
This point of the first American
chess book" is clothed in contro-
versy. But the accepted answer is
that Benjamin Franklin authored it,
the claim resting on the appearance
of Chess Made Easy" which con-
tained Franklin's unique Morals of
Chess" published at Philadelphia in
1902.
Now "Chess Made Easy" Phila-
delphia, 1902, is nothing more than
reprint of the English book of the
same name, with Morals of Chess
added. A copy of the 1902 edition
now sells for s33. "CSess Made
Easy is the first book on chess to
be published in America.
But even Franklin's Morals of
Chess" was written originally as a
hagatelle during his sojourn at
Passy, France, one Dubourg alleging
to have seen the manuscript by June
%, 1779. Franklin was exceptionally
fond of chess. You may read on
page 663 of Carl Van Doren's prize
biography. Benjamin Franklin"
Q938), that "he once at Passy played
chess from in the evening till SUM-
rise"
Apparently the first known Amer
lean publishing of Morals of Chess"
occurs in the Columbian Magazine,
December, l786. A copy of this VOL
ume of Columbia Magazine sells for
s36. If Franklin printed his Mo-
rails of Chess" at Passy, no copy is
known
In 1905, at Boston, was published
