No Time for Hand- -Wringers

The United States has every right to glory in its strength, and to face with a serene pride and confidence whatever the future may bring. No Delilah has yet Shorn the locks of the American Samson; none is likely to do so Yet he Is hav- ing an occasional hair plucked out of his head from time to time by certain people who go about Wrinking their hands and lamenting that we haven't got this, or we haven't got that" or we can't do this and we can't do that" The American people and the United States government are oot old and decrepit. We are strong, vital, It the very height of our powers. Why thls nand-Wringing?
 "This country, since last June, has pro- duced more goods and services than 1t, or any other nation, ever did in like num- Der of months" That statement is from Leon Henderson, government economist and price controller, and he ought to know. It is not the kind of record that juStifies pesSimism or hand-Wringlng More goods and services than we pro- duced in 1929! More goods and services than any other nation ever pro- duced! Should such a nation tremble and crouch, and fear the future?
 There was generation of Americans, few years back, who may have made a nuisance of themselves by sWarming over Europe and bragging that whatever they saw was pint-sized compared with what they had at home Socially, this man. ner may have left something to be de- sired, but behind it was rugged con- fidence and a restless vitality. That gen. eration did not fear the future-it rushed out to meet it and to mold it the way 1t wanted it to be.
 Dragging is bad thing We are in no mood to brag today. But we need little of that spirit There is no time now to waste on wringers of hands, no time for those who would cover in corner and hope to save what they can of the past for future. Strong, indomitable, determined, the American people must look the fu- ture in the face today and feeling strength in every rippling muscle and hope in every surging thought, go for ward to whatever desiny new world holds for them.

Martyrs to Truth

One of the glorious pages of the war is the record of American correspondents in their effort to report truly to Americans what is happening in the whirlwind con- flict. In their relentless pursuit of the elusive truth, they have given life itself, suffered wounds and privations. Webb Miller United Press European manager, died in blackout accident Ralph Barnes of the New York Herald-Tribune crashed to his death in a British plane in the Balkans Leigh White CBS, and Robert St. John, Associated Press, were wounded in escaping from Jugoslavia. Others have had miraculous escapes from bomb and shell, and have suffered every kind of intense privation and hardship.
 In almost every case they have gone far beyond what was necessary merely to hold their jobs. They did 1t because there was in them fire that burned to learn and tell the truth. To all of them Amer ica owes debt. They are writing every day story of high and unswerving devo- ton to a cause as high and as exacting as any cause.-the service of truth.

Waterbury In National Emergency

The state of unlimited national emer- yency" as proclaimed recently by Presi- dent Roosevelt, will undoubtedly and soon have profound effect on Water bury, our people and our industries, be- cause we are so busily occupied with defense work. We must be prepared in advance for these adjustments which, as the international holocaust of war rages, will become more severe and drastic. The War Department now recommends to Con- gresS that the President be given power to take over industry itself where essential to national defense. We certainly hope this condition will never pertain to Waterbury factories and Waterbury working people, but neither can we guess nor forecast the future of the war or the extent of American involvement.
 One thing seems pretty certain to any, one who thinks ahead. Today, our fac- tories are engaged partly in defense work, partly in making their usual peace-time products This will change quickly and materially. Priorities for metal used for defense will surely restrict the metals available for non-defense items and will affect employment in industries not en- gagged in or convertible to defense work ms means aQJuSCment OI eIHplOyIHeIlI and occupation, If and when 1t comes, and can disturb some lifelong arrange m0nts. It could mean overtime in some jobs and no work, or little work in others with the resulting necessity of shifting workers from old to new jobs in the same or other places of employment. It might even produce the paradox of unemployment in the midst of great employment. Such changes will be un- fortunate but national emergency does not respect peacetime pursuits and the lesson of France, whose people refused to adjust, is a sad one.
 These are strenuous, serious days and we must be prepared for almost anything which the horrors of war can produce. We hope our city and our people can be spared such drastic changes and that our normal routine will not be disrupted to a too unpleasant degree.

Caustic Commentary

The most caustic comment on the ter rible toll from accidents which civilized society permits every day in the year comes from James B. F'organ, Chicago Red Cross official. Great Britain's loss of life is actually lower today, in the very face of the German bombings, than 1t was in peace time, says Forgan.
 Does that seem impossible, when thousands are being killed by bombs? Forgan says it's true. Thousands have been trained in first aid, accident pre- vention, nutrition, hygiene, and sarita- tion. A large proportion of automobiles have been removed from the highways Result: More lives saved than Hitler has snuffed out in months of blitz-bombing It shows what could be done in the peace full United States if safety and health measures could be made as effective here as war has forced them to become in England.

We Lose a Room

Somewhere back along the last IS years, the average American house has lost room. Averaging data from 83 principal cities, the Mortgage Bankers Association finds that the usual new house being built today has five rooms, whereas IS years ago 1t had six. Smaller families is the answer that instantly springs to mind, but there may be another reason. For one thing, 1t has become unfashionable to have more house than is actually needed. The "parlor," locked up and unused except for funerals and big parties, Is out of favor. If we can get built the thousands of new homes the country needs, nobody will worry much over the fact that they may be of five rooms instead of six.

Too Modest" and then setting forth req sons for buying.
 You might think banks would regard the Defense Bonds as competition, and discourage their sale. After all, money used to buy Defense Bonds is not de- posted in the banks. But they don't feel that way Most banks have adequate deposits to meet any demand for loans They don't need more money deposited Besides, World War experience has taught them the technique and the ultimate advantage of cooperating with the peo- pie in their effort to build defense.

LIE, 1nuuStfDUI GmplFC Ot tne United States.
 That is what is behind Hitler's demand Of peace now or the threat that he will unleash every thing in the Nazl arsenal, includ. ing poison gas, in an attempt to rage every British city.
 The threat of poison gas Is not taken lightly in England. The British know Hitler has the gas. They also know he can use 1t far more expeditiously against Eng- land than on the European con- tinent. For in Poland, France, Jugoslavia and Greece, Nazi troops advanced SO swiftly that they would have caught lip with their own gas. In attacking England, however, the Channel would pre- vent the gas from sweeping back, and the British Isles could be sub- jected to Q bath of poifonous va DOTS long before Na1 troops landed.
 No wonder there was no optirn- ism in Ambassador Winant's re. port.
 So, in brief, England may be reaching the point of the French c year ago this month, when Winston Churchill very belatedly offered the people of France an equal partnership with Britain lR they continued tO fight and shared her fate.
 And U. s. military strategists, all too well aware of South American vulnerability to Nazi at- tack If the British fleet falls, are wondering whether the United States also will be too late. NO CLUSTERS THEY
 Clarence Marshall, new press director Of the Commerce Depart ment, tells this one on himself.
 The bathroom window of his hotel apartment faces the tennis courts where Vice President Wall lace daily plays a lively early morning game. Marshall slaves and watches Wallace at the same time.
 Riding downtown with U. s. Circuit Judge Harold M. Stephen son, Marshall expressed the opinion that Wallace was indulg- ing in too strenuous exercise for a man 53 years old. Judge Ste- phenson disagreed.
 q don't think sO," he de- murred. "I often play with Wallace myself"
 Marshall hastily dropped the subject, but the first thing he did when he reached his office was to look Up Stephenson's age. It is 55.
 NINE OLD MEN
 Most people don't realize that the Supreme Court fight, most vital political battle staged by the New Deal, still overshadows appointments and influences poli- cies in Washington.
 For in his eagerness to re- build the Supreme Court with men who will carry on his ideas, Roosevelt is stripping the rest Of his administration of its best minds and executives - at a time when they are sorely needed.
 Latest prospective additions to the Mine old Men" can be spared least of all. Senator Byrnes of South Carolina is Roosevelt's most trusted operator on Capitol Hill, while Bob Jackson is one of the best legal minds produced by the New Deal.
 Already Roosevelt has sent to the shadowy seclusion of the Supreme Court bench William O. Douglas, one of the best executives developed by his administration; Frank Murphy. with a wealth of executive experience as Governor General of the Philippines. Gov ernor of Michigan, and Attorney General: Stanley Reed, great Solicitor General; and Senator Hugo Black, the best crusader Roosevelt had in the Senate.

the meannesS of our neighbors, and the contrariness of our friends, may well drive us into a state of perpet- ual gloom.
 But why let these things worry the life out of us? Raise your eyes and look over the landscape. The sunny green fields, the flowers the trees, are round about us in spite of the fact that the world is a quite wicked place. There are plenty of good people in the world if we will take the trouble to look them up. There is vastly more honesty and virtue among the majority of our population than there is dishonesty and vice. Sir Joshua Reynolds, the great English painter, used to say, T look only at the best pictures; the bad ones spoil my eyes," They spoil everyone else's eyes. The Bible says, If there be any virtue and if there be any praise. think on these things" The good old SirJoshua said. Don't get sore eyes from lock- Ing too continuously at unpleasant things.

How long they can continue fighting was the question.
 So far no appeagement iS cvi- dent with the man on the street in London. One day he IS dc. pressed by the sinking Of the Hood, next day he is buoyed up by the destruction of the Bis marck. Through defeat after de- feat he has kept his chin Up. But now prospective withdrawal from the Mediterranean will be a stiff jolt-the stiffest jolt of all.
 Actually, the man on the street in London has not realized how bad the situation Is. Actually the state Of public opinion Is brittle. It could break.

 CAN BRITAIN HOLD FILL SEPTEMBER?
 Drawing all these together, the main question confronting the United States, as Q result of Ain- bassador Winant's report, Is how long Great Britain can hold out.
 Two things are obvious. One is that If she can hold out through September, then large.scale aid will be available from this coun- try. Second is that Hitler is determined that September will never come with England still at war.
 For Hitler, the war has got to be won now or not at all. The kill Is just around the corner, and if he does not close in now, he knows all too well that Ger many faces long war with the vast, though pOnder0usly mOv-

wish they were back in the thick of the emergency fighting. LORD WOOLTON's ERROR

British and American officials in Washington didn't like to admit 1t, but they were perplexed by the appeal of the British food rin- ister, Lord Woolton, to Ameri- cans to reduce their consumption of milk, cream, sugar, and canned fish and meat, Sot hat needed foods could be sent to England.
 Secretary of Agriculture Wick ard was SO puzzled he actually asked the British food mission in Washington what it all meant. The British replied that they were as amazed as he was.
 Fact is, of course, that we are more troubled by surpluses than shortages. The Surplus Market. ing Administration has spent n1il- lions Of dollars buying up dairy products, to prevent the bottom from falling out of the market.
 The idea of 8 sugar shortage Is the most absurd of all. There
 is'a surplus of two million tons
 in the Western Hemisphere. The economy of Cuba is strained because they can't find sufficient outlet for their basic crop.

 Last year dead letters, domestic and foreign, reached the high total of 13,666,288 in this country, the postmaster general reports. Post office experts, who are noted for their resourcefulness, contrived to decipher 2,50O.00O and these were returned to the senders. The re- mainder had to be destroyed because they defeated even tn adopts. Money was in 61 1,130 of the letters and 236, ,26g held other valuables. The money amounted to $85,326, an in- crease of nearly $l,000 over the pre- vious years contents.
 The figures show the high ratio of human carelessness. Write clearly, add a return address, register let- ters containing money-thees ad- monitions of the post office fre- quently fall on deaf ears. No doubt illiteracy Is a factor in the dead letter situation. For the literate there is no excuse.

When the German dive-bombers leveled to the ground Candid in Crete, they brought four thousand years of history to full circle. Here arose the first civiliza- tion in Europe. Here, in the small n1use- um, unique and irreplaceable, lay the relics which told all that is known of Minoan civilization. That wasn't much. They told merely that here, 4,O00 years ago, men lived in state of civilization quite highly developed m sone respects. Here they lived, here (for reasons that seemed to them adequate) they fought. Here they died. Now on the same ground, 4,O0O years later, men who have also achieved quite high state of civilization in some respects have fought and died, probably for about the same reasons. The
 more it changes, the more it is the same.
