From the days OF Dunkerque
through August OF this year. the
total of arms we supplied TO
Great Britain amounted only to
$3.50, 000. 900. One-tenth of that
was financed with lease-lend
money. The guns, tanks and
ammunition which we sent
abroad came out Of ". s. army
stocks, and so were rather OBJ
solete. The bulk was rushed TO
England when her forces had
been stripped OF weapons in the
emergency evacuation from the
continent, and an immediate at
tack on the island by Hitler was
expected. The $3.50, 900, 600
figure does not include cost of
the so destroyers we snapped"
off in September OF 1910, or
what We have spent TO repair
British warships in our ports.
Neither has our assistance to
Moscow and Chungking reached
the total promised or advertised.
For the first eight months OF
1871 our arms exports TO China
were valued only at $1,000, 900.
Shipments to Russia over the
same period amounted to 81 500
600. They have not been
stepped up appreciably in the
past two months.

PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
TECHNoCRACY MALIGNFD

Editor The Times: Twice re-
Gently erroneous statements
were published in your column
concerning Technocracy Inc.
One last week by Oscar c.
Eric kson, that democracy
among other groups, quote
'1eads to a dictator and you
lose the free way of life I'M
quote.
Technocraey is science applied
to the social order. II is strictly
functional, and has none Of the
earmarks of any price system
order, foreign or domestic.
Science has displaced scarcity
with abundance. Now it offers
a plan to distribute that abund-
ance on a balanced load basis.
This it is not possible for politi-
clans to do under a price system.
Hence the present paradox OF
overproduction while a third OF
the people are ill-housed, ill-fed
and ill-clad. We now see the
evidence that politicians cannot
put all to work, even with a de-
tense program that puts billions
of dollars at their disposal.
The Technocratic plan elimin-
ates all putridness of politics
also all necessity for public and
private charity. II provides
freedom from restraint in re-
ligion. speech, culture, sports.
and hobbies. Also education and
all necessities of life. with a
standard Of living highest in the
world for all.
The Dies committee declared
Techonocracy one hundred per
cent American; and since the
continental director is subject
to recall. he certainly cannot
be called a dictator.

quot "Technocraey? High

Americans carefully conserving their health only
to throw their lives away the streets.
That is trend pointed out by the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Co., which shows reduced mortality among its
policyhoders in major cities indicating excellent health
conditions Among industrial pocyhoders the death rate
for eight months of 1871 Ia per cent lower than last
year. and deaths from tuberculosis actually dropped to the
lowest point record.
But, in the meantime, while these people thus
carefully guarding themselves against sickness the death
rate from auto accidents climbing Is per cent The
bitter fooishness of such situation needs comment
except that who touches the wheel OF auto
or walks across street has the power TO remedy 1t.

HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, OCT. IS

Many aspects are active and
conflicting under this planetary
government. The evening II
more fortunate than morning or
midday.
Heart and Aome: While this
configuration prevails there may
be gloom in the family. since APP
prehensions and perplexities are
likely TO assail parents who look
forward to a winter of many
financial problems. Pulto is in
a threatening aspect which may
be read as presaging destructive
forces affecting social and eco
nomic programs.
Business Affairs: Self-suffici-
ency In communities will be
sought as war emergencies teach
methods of conserving resources
and cultivating opportunities as
suring independence. Despite
warnings, money-spending will
continue TO be too generous
among wage earners. As the
cost OF living rises the wise will
study economies In business
management and will prepare
for a future which now offers
many threatening possibilities
due TO war drains which by mid
winter will be tremendous.
National Issues: As unforeseen
events contradict seemingly in
evitable war developments. the
United States will be forced to
forget many promises TO the
people. Secret enemies within
the nation will foment trouble
and cause criticism which will
feed propaganda experts in Ger
many.
Persons whose birthdate IL is
have the augury of year of
good luck in finance, love and
friendship. Pleasant surprises in
the form Of unexpected profits
are forecast.
Children born on this day
probably will be serious, pru-
dent, affectionate and intuitive.
They should have great popular
ity and lasting success in life.
