FOOD FOR EUROPE

? The White House worked quietly on that plan to answer the one so vigorously pushed by Herbert Hoover to feed Nazi-occupied coun- tries in Europe
 Under Hoover's proposal the Brit ish would be required to lift their blockade to permit the passage of food bought with funds belonging to the Nazi-seized countries and lmpounded by thie U. S. overn- ment. Hoover's whole emphasis is on the British easing their crucial blockade
 But the White House proposal is exactly the reverse. Roosevelt would put the decision squarely on the Nazis, who are responsible for the food shortage of their victims. This IS the outline of the plan submitted to Congress:
 l.-To use the unspent $40, O,00O 900
 of the $50,000,000 appropriated
 last summer for Red Cross
 refugee aid to buy farm sur

For Better Health
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

It has been said with as much truth humor that the only people who afford the luxury of proper medical the wealthy and the very poor The former can, when they will, pay the doctors bill and the latter receive free medical at tention
 But the average man, with income of, say from $500 to $250O year, calls in the family phy scian only last resort And when he does, the result is usually upset budget, for most of us plan our annual expenditures the unsound theory that we will never be sick enough to need doctor If may rely the statisticians, this means that is financially unprepared for an unexpected illness and will attempt therefore, to get by without proper care.
 Such a situation is bound to have adverse effect on the health of the nation and indeed the discovery that high percentage of those young men who have passed the examination of draft board physicians turned down physically unfit by the Army's doctors indicates that na- tonal health is far below what it should and prob- ably could be.
 When a similar discovery made in connec- ton with recruiting for the Boer War, England became concerned enough to institute national pulSory health insurance, which has been in effect with improvements, since
 The health of Americans is just important to the national defense, not only from the point of view of military and industrial man power, but also from the point of view of morale And it is likely that the Armys experience with prospective draftees will accelerate the movement already under way for some type of service which will make medi- cal available to those who do not receive it except in extreme emergencies

YES, THERE IS PROGRESS

Only within the past century has it become the fashion to say Of course, progress real In the midst of the wealth and power of the 18th century some of the wisest of men raised question mark over the idea of progress.
 William Morris-inventor of the Morris chair John Ruskin, and Tolstoy were among those who questioned if the accumulation of comfort and wealth were really progress as long as men suffered from poverty and ill nourishment An increase in mechan sns is not necessarily progress Science is but a committee on ways and means, and it is always re- nittee resolutions and platforms. It decides what we shall want to do with these tremendous instru- mentaites, and it is always humbly reporting that it has the basic desires it had 50O00 years ago.
 Yet Philosopher Will Durant believes that man has made ten steps up from the jungle: ten steps which once made were never lost These The Coming of Speech, The Conquest of the Animal, The Conquest of Fire and Light, The Coming of Agricul- ture, The Coming of Social Organization, The Com ing of Morality, The Development of the Esthetic Sense, The Development of Science, The Coming of Means of Communication, and last, Education
 These steps, Dr. Durant declares the basic ones that even war and hunger have not been able to abolish One by one, from the coming of speech to the development of systems for handing knowledge to the next generation, they have meant the pro- gress of from jungle beast to whatever he may be today These the signs of real progress.
 DO I have no doubts for the future?" writes pr. Durant Yes, Certainly, shall pass through misery and terror But I envy children

 Another reason is that Roosevelt has finished the domestic phase of the New Deal, now is concentrat- ing upon foreign affairs and na- tional defense. Tommy was the expert on holding corporations, so- cial security, curbing the stock mar ket, and a dozen other reforms which the New Deal put across in the first eight years.
 But today the President rests on his oars, doesn't want any contro- versial issues to interfere with the arms program.
 Another factor is that Corcoran is now married to beautiful and expressing wife, and just naturally .all out of the habit of spending days and nights writing speeches il the White House.

 Some time ago, M. Leger came to Washington from New York where he has been living. and had an interview with Sumner Welles Under Secretary of State, and the man who holds the American job comparable to that of Leger in France.
 Leger told WelleS that he had come to the United States on a diplomatic passport, but now he was virtually penniless and would have to start working in order to make a living. Thus he would be no longer diplomat.
 That means" concluded Leger, that I no longer have the right to a diplomatic passport, and I am ready to surrender it."
 Never mind that, replied Welles, As far as the State Department is concerned, you are still one of the foremost diplomats of France. :"
 Tn telling the story to friends, M. Leger's voice chokes and he is unable to express his gratitude for the privilege of remaining in this country.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
FRIDAY, JANUARY 10

This is not a fortunate day in planetary government. Adverse as- poets rule. There is warning in an aspect today which indicates the veering of public opinion so that criticism retards the success of important defense projects
 Heart and Home: Uncertainty re- garding the future may depress heads of families during this rule of the stars, but in times of test true American spirit will assert it. self. The young may enjoy social entertainments, but the stars do rot encourage happy courtships to- cay. Young men as well as girls may be critical and self -centered Parents should curb extravaganza in modern ways of living. It is well to safeguard the future.
 Business Affairs: While govern nient contracts will continue to engage large numbtrs of employees and keep much money in circula ton, there are ultimate economic problems Co be solved. As Hitler foists his srecial brand of. trade and finance upon helpless Euro peans there must be drastic read justments in commerce affecting the United States. This is the time to cement friendly ties with all the countries in the Western Hem isphere. 4Au
 National Issues: Thinkers will now foresee that different phases of national socialism will overcome many political philosophies and that it will be serious menace to the democracy of tie future. According to a foreign astrUlUger, Russia is to improve on its pres ent form of Communism ands then to promote it in countries over which it will gain aScenGancy after the fall of Hitler and Mussolinl. Stalin may prove that watchfui waiting assures success.
 International Affairs: SpaSn ;s to be an important factor in the progress of European diplomatic maneuvers. Surprising developments may be expected on the diplomatic chess board. After a dictator the people may desire restoration of the monarchy, but the son of King Alfonso XIII, who wins favorable attention, may pay dearly for pop ularity
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of sur- rrises and changes. Travel and success are indicated, but domestic harmony should be carefully main tained.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be highly intelligent and studious. They have the possibili- ties of great success in life.

TO THE CAR THIEVES

Just in any of the young people involved in Monday nights escapade in which Chief of Police Dan Raston was struck by stolen automobile should be feeling they were pretty smart to get away, they should be disabused by sober reaza- ton Of the seriousness Of what they did.
 Stealing an automobile is not smart, even if the young thieves try to explain 10 themselves that they were just borrowing t for the night. Petty crimes such as this have started many a young and woman toward reform school and penitentiary.
 Resisting peace authorities, to the point of knocking them down when they seek to question you is not smart either.
 The two boys and girl who away from the police Monday night lucky that someone not killed a result of their evening of fun The wheels of the automobile in which they rode swayed four feet out of line they speeded around the snowy at the far end of the Doug las Bridge at TO miles hour few minutes after they abandoned the front tire went flat. If that had happened the curve, all three would almost certainly have been killed.
 The young people into the woods like ani- mals to avoid facing the punishment they deserved They forced to sneak along the beach and hide They were criminals for a night And they are still criminals until they turn themselves to the authorities and take their medicine
 Police say the three could mot have reached their homes until l o'clock or afterwards Their parents. If they proper parents, must know tier children were out pretty late It is not unlikely Juneau mother father knows it was his child who was involved in the brush with the police
 It is asking a lot to ask mother and father to turn their boy or girl over to the police. But that is what good citizens would do It is no part of parenthood to shield criminals The children, if their mothers and fathers protect them in this case will have their disrespect for law and order etched even more deeply.
 The hunt for the hoodlums goes on Police say they will find them sooner or later. What the pun ishment will be is probematcal But it will not be severe and 1t will be much less damaging to the

TRIO OF GAMES

A night of basketball at the school gym last night three games recorded as follows were witnessed by small crowd of fans In the main event, the high school was matched with the Eagles for just practice scrimmage. Without particular purpose to win the Eagles took the short end of a 34-31 score.
 Erskine did more than half the scoring for the lodgemen while SCOT ing honors for the school team were divided between G. Wahto and F. Cashen.
 The hardest tussle of the trio of games was the one between the married and single men of the Foundry. Only by two points did the benedicts lose out in a 2l-l9 final score. Their high pointer was Glen Edwards with nine points while for the bachelors Gordon Mills was high man with 12.
 In the preliminary between two grade teams there wasn't much SCOT ing the two high boys being Kibby on one side and R. Krsul for the other with points each

STREAMLINED FOODS

Because of the acute shipping
shortage, food items for shipment
to Britain are being selected for high
vitamin and calorie content, also for
minimum bulk and weight.
In general, preference will be Civ
en- to concentrated and dried foods,
rather than bulky canned goods
such as fruits, which contain con-
siderable amount of water. Toma-
toes are an exception because the
juice they are packed in is high
in vitamins.
One item urgently desired by the
British is dehydrated vegetable
soup, IL tons of which will make
100000 bowls.
A plan is under consideration to
transport some of this concentrated
food in the big bombers being fer
ried across the Atlantic, which can
easily carry a l2-ton load.
The s4OO, 900, 900 that has been al
located for the food-aid program will
be used to buy 100000 cases of
canned tomatoes, 20,000,000 cases Of
evaporated milk, 50.0OO,0 900 pounds
of lard, $50, 600, 900 pounds of cheese,
several million pounds of Wiltshire
cured ham. millions of powdered
eggs, and thousands of tons of de-
hydrated vegetable soup, dried raj
sins and prunes.
While gigantic in itself, the pro
gram is only about 3 per cent Of
the U. S. food bill, which in 1910
was $l2, 600, 000. 900.

HONOR ALSO DUE
TO CREATORS OF WEALTH

WE ERECT MONUMENTS and
establish shrines to the memory Of
our distinguished scientists, soldiers,
statesmen, musicians, artists, inven-
tors, preachers and educators, but
we have only condemnation for
those Americans who have aided In
creating our national wealth.
Col John Jacob Astor and Com
modore Vanderbilt, as representa-
tive of past generations, amassed
great fortunes represented by new
fields of endeavor that meant more
jobs, a higher standard of living.
When they died what they had Gre
ated remained for us to use. 1t
was a part of the national wealth.
In the nearer past we're such men
as Cyrus Mccormick, John D.
Rockefeller, James ]. Hill, Marshall
Field, P. D. Armour and many 9TH
ers. Regardless of our opinions Of
them as individuals, they created
wealth and opportunity that is today
being shared and enjoyed by thou
sands of Americans.
We erect no monuments to them,
but they contributed much to Amer
lea. Today men have jobs, they
and their families live in comfort on
the basis of an ever-increasing
standard, because those men lived.
They took nothing away with them.
What they created, they left for pos
terity Such men were the builders
of our American industry, our Amer
lean prosperity.

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

THE LABORATORIES of Ameri-
can universities have accomplished
many wonderful results in the way
of scientific research. Our state
universities especially should give
greater attention to the field of or
ganic chemistry. It offers solution
for the American farm problem.
Through organic chemistry we can
probably find many industrial uses
for farm crops we are now produc-
ing, or find new crops which will fit
into industry and which can be
grown, instead of the continuous
production of surplus of present
crops.
An expressed demand on our uni
versities and the legislatures provid-
ing funds for their operation would
undoubtedly tend to greater efforts
along these lines and prove bene-
fetal to American farmers.
THE AMERICAN workman should
certainly have the opportunity Of
working without having to pay a
gangster for the privilege.
CAUSE OF STRIKE
OUR STANDARD of living is de-
termined by the national annual in
come The income of the federal
government from income and cor
poration taxes is from the same
source. Whatever affects the
national income directly or indirect
ly affects each of US.
Every strike in American plants
reduces the annual national income.
In his book, 1.-THE Dead Hand Of Blu
reaucracy," Lawrence Sullivan.
quoting from congressional report,
says the cost of each strike is $50.07
per man day. On that basis, the
Ford strike, for example, involving
lbs, 900 men for 10 days, took out
of the national income 81 ,377, 500 for
each day, or a total Of $73. IT'S 900.
That made a serious dent in cur na-
tional income for 1871 and each one
of US paid part Of it.
