In a midwestern town of 300 an
examination was held to fill a va
cancy on a rural route out of the
local post office. Eighty-e eight per-
SONS took the examination. Among
those taking it was the superintend-
ent of the city schools, two high
school teachers, the engineer of a
large construction company, a skill
ed linotype operator and a number
of college graduates. The job of ru-
raj carrier has come to be one of
the most desirable jobs to be had in
the average small community. The
compensation for one-half days
work is more than can be secured
in any activity or business in the
community. The rural carriers work
is done in half day and he has
the rest of the day to himself. He
receives at the end of thirty years
service, life pension. He is given
two weeks sick leave with pay each
year and two weeks vacation with
pay. No other employment to be
found in the average small town
does nearly as much.

Now that the Federal Power
Commission is going to investigate
contributions to the campaign for
Initiative No. 1879, let's insist on a
real investigation. For example, does
our Senior Senator get his expense
money paid from your tax money
when he comes back home to cam
paign against this measure? Does
Federal tax money pay for all the
stationery, clerk hire, stamps and
time required for circulating the
voters of this state? Do all those ad-
vocating the defeat of this measure
have their travelling expenses paid
with tax money while they are max
ing speeches around the country?
Was it legal or moral for the Sno-
homish County Public Utility Dis
trict to retain the prosecuting at
torney of that county at a fee of
$4,000 while he was already on the
public payroll? Let's really have an
investigation that will give us in
formation. Will we get it? Or will
we be treated to the spectacle of
having an Investigation all on
one side and strict political, and
have it broadcast by the paid pro-
ponents of public power?

We believe that the course of re-
covery in this country would have
been promoted had the attitude of
the administration been less hostile
toward industry. So many restric-
tions have been put about business
and industry hiatt money that would
otherwise have been put into bust
ness has been put into tax free
bonds. The result has been that en-
ployment has not been increased. It
requires capital in business to Gre
ate employment. AS it is, money has
been going into government bonds
to be used to employ men on the
various types of federal projects and

The world could be completely
transformed if all of the money
spent for war and its preparation
were spent for those things that
make for b uilding up rather than
tearing down and destruction. There
would be plenty for all. Every COM
munity could have a. fine hospital,
library, parks and the finest of
schools. The cultural things alone
that could be secured would do much
to improve the race. Once we catch
the vision of these things and the
value and sanity of the program
that builds up instead of tears
down, we are going to forget war.

out slowly. The United States has

 Gamers remark constituted his first public utterance since long be- fore the national convention. He didn't attend the convention. While delegates chose Secretary of Agri- culture Henry A.

Rep. Hamilton Fish, N. Y, rank ing Republican on the foreign af- fairs committee, said he has "nc objections to our ships going over tc bring back English children-pro- vided the ships receive guarantees of safe passage from Germany" Legislation already has been in- troduced asking the state depart ment to move, through diplomatic channels, to obtain from the axis powers assurances of safe passage for the vessels.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-07-23

Washington, July 9 - (UP) - Chairman Sol Bloom of the house foreign affairs committee today op- posed any move to amend the neu- traNty law for removing British children from the war zone on American ships. He favored special congressional authorization of such action if Germany and Italy guar antee safe passage for the ships.
 Bloom voiced his opinion after Rep. Thomas c. Jennings, Jr, D., Mo-, introduced a bill to amend the neutrality law to allow American ships to go to the war zone.
 If the British parliament seems rather doubtful about taking chances on bringing the children over at this time in their ships, I don't know whether it is advisable for us to take a chance" Bloom said.
 However, if we could have assur- ances from Germany and Italy that they would guarantee safe passage of these ships carrying only refugee children, their guardians and mothers, this country might be will ing to take a chance"
 Bloom said he personally did not believe it advisable to disturb the neutrality act, because as it stands today, it has kept this country out of war" But he pledged to do every thing in his power to assist in re-
