MORE PRODUCTION NEEDED
NOT A VICIOUS CIRCLE!
WHAT AMERICA needs now and
for the future is more production.
More production should start on the
farms. 1t should supply for us those
farm products we are now import
ing to the extent of a billion and
one-haf dollars year and which
can be raised in the United States.
The science of chemurgy must be
encouraged to find new commercial
uses for farm crops and for present
farm wastes. Doing these things
means increased revenue for the
farmers, more jobs for workmen,
more opportunities for the invest
ment of capital in business-a high
er standard of living for all.
America needs in its national
legislative bodies men of vision,
men who will strive for the general
good, rather than for partisan ad-
vantage, men who will think of all
groups, plan legislation to benefit
all, instead of laws that take from
one in order to give to another.
We cannot establish and maintain
that degree of prosperity and we'll
being to which we are entitled by
any policy of appeasement of
minorities. To give the farmer
more for his wheat by charging the
workman more for his bread but
creates a vicious circle which in
evitably leads to imitation and the
ruin of all. Through policy of in
creased production that leads to in
creased demand and consumption,
we can benefit all, the farmer, the
workman, business and the gen.
eral public.
There are in America men capa-
BILE of solving our production prob
lem, and they are the men needed
in congress. Who in your town, your
country, your district would meas
ure up to such standards?

Why stool Pigeon

Why is paid informer of the un-
derworld called stool pigeon? The
expression has long been known. Be
fore the wild pigeon became extinct,
it was the custom of hunters to fas-
ten a captive pigeon to a stool. The
poor bird was moved up and down
from place of concealment; it f1ut-
tered anxiously and attracted pass
ing fiocks of its fellows into the
fowler's net. Hence, stool pigeon
is decoy; police spy.

CLOSING PANAMA TO JAPAN

Secretary Stimson was telling the
absolute truth when he denied that
the discovery of time-bomb was
responsible for keeping 10 Japanese
ships out of the Panama canal. For
this was not the reason.
Real reason why the canal was
barred to the japanese was the dis
covery that two of their ships were
floating bazars being rushed to the
east coast of South America to grab
off the trade which Axis operators
were forced to abandon as result
of the U. S. blacklist.
Apparently the Japs had a tip
that the blacklist was going to be
issued, because the two ships hasti-
ly left the west coast and were wait
ing to go through the canal, when
suddenly the blacklist was published.
Equipped with elaborate merchan-
dizing displays, and carrying high
powered, Spanish-speaking sales
men, the ships were literal arsenals
of economic warfare. With them,
the japanese would have invaded
the most lucrative markets in Latin
America before either the U. S. or
the Latin Americans could have
moved to block them.
