When you lay down your paper, af-

We got grand country here-we

When any country actually finds out
that things are kinda going haywire

More Bank Credit

In normal times, the banks of Amer

banks are among the first industries
to be called upon for special and vital
jobs
A little example OF this, which did

The National Defense Council has
been seeking ways to prevent undue
price increases and to harness idle
bank credit. A short time ago repre-
sentatives of banking got together with
Leon Henderson OF the Defense Ad-
yisory Commission and agreed upon a
form of government contract which
will be nkable"-which a contraC-
tor, If he so wishes. can discount az
his bank. One result of this, according
to Commissioner Henderson is that
there will be less reliance on Govern
ment debt and more use of private
credit for underwriting plant expan-
SION
Every dollar OF credit that can be
provided by the banks and other pri-
vate sources means that the govern
ment will be called upon for a dollar
less. 1t means less of a burden upon
the taxpayers of today and tomor-
row. Finally it means that some OF
the billions of "out-of-work" capital
now held by the banks will be put
to productive use
All along the line. banking is showing
its willingness to do all in its power
to expedite the defense drive-and,
at the same time, carry on its nor
NAL function on the behalf of re-
gular, peace-time industry and bust
ness. Credit is as important to de-
tense as weapons-after all, credit
must be provided, and in tremendous
blocks, before the arms program can
come out of the blueprint stage Bank
ing, large and small, never was more
vital to the country than it is today.

>Super-Fire-Fighting
Is Super-Defense

Those individuals who are inclined
to disregard the Importance of peace
time ftre-fighting and fire-preven-
ton may be impressed by the manner
In which such work affects the strength
OF our national defense program.
According to news reports, nego-
tiationS are under way to send Is
American firemen to London to study
new methods of quenching bomb-set
fires. The plan was announced by j.
Ray Pence, Secretary Treasurer of the
international Association of Fire De-
partment Instructors. He is waiting
approval of the United States Off
Gals and saction of London fire
fighting authorities.
Linking the proposed expedition
with the national defense program,
Pence said that after six months ex-
perience in the combat area, the Am
erican firemen would return and train
their colleagues in wartime fire
fighting technique. Fire fighters are
almost as important in this war as
aviators," Pence said
If his plan is adopted volunteers
for the English trip would be selected
throughout the United States.
The story behind this proposal shows
to what great extent fire is a men
ace to the strength of national de-
tense. A fire started by an incendiary
bomb is no more effective in des-
troying an essential industry than fire
caused by plain negligence Fire is
