A Thought for Today
Nothing Inevitable

Nothing is less certain to happen than the inevitable That's trick phrase, ot course. Whats meant is "the inevitable" Tn short, just about the time men get together and say "ThiS is inevitable" something else happens It may well be that way with the postwar slump. Some men are so sure of it that they positively revel in gloomy head-shakings; they wal low in grim forebodingS of "Oh, what a crash there's going to be when this thing Is all over!"
 It all seems so logical: the defense plants suddenly shut down; couple ot million men come streaming back from the army; the plug is pulled cn unlimited federal spending; and down we all go in one great resounding crash that would make 1929 look like a feather-duster dropping off footstool It's the fact that everybodys expecting such crash that first led us to think that maybe 1t won't happen. Everybody has been wrong so often.
 One reassuring thing is that so many people are already thinking about ways to avoid that inevitable" crash. Chair man Sloan of General Motors is only one big-time executive who has every de- partment of his plant already intent on Studying what may be done with new pro- ductive facilities after the defense emer- gency has passed. Many other eXecu- lives have their eyes on the same problem. Similarly, many planning agencies and individuals interested in creating better living conditions, are already plotting out future needs. The Architectural Forum has set up a panel of 200 advisers to see what planning, zoning, design, construc- tion, financing, taxation, and building may contribute to keep production rolling against any postwar slump.
 They have found, for instance, that by 1945 the 10 billion dollars worth of com- mercial construction of the TWenties will be 20 years old and ready for moderniza- tion. By 1945, third of all the 40 nll- lion dwelling units in the country will be more than 50 years old. By 1945, six million of those dwelling units will be un- fit for use, and 13 million will call either for major reconstruction or replace ment
 The need for vast postwar construc- ion program in many fields is already evident. This does r0t necessarily imply that it will all have to be done by public funds. The more study is made now of means Of attracting private capital into construction, the better chance there is of attracting it promptly when the time comes. The more thought directed now against this inevitable slump, the less inevitable it becomes.

The Milk and Honey

The mysteries of imitation arc so inter- woven with political and economic con- ditions and so complicated in the affairs of the Republic that the average man frankly admits that he doesn't know what the word means. But man who does know has told the American public that initiation is no natural calamity that falls upon men unaware and help less 1t is something that we make our selves and that we ourselves can guard against" Those are the words of the Secretary of the Treasury Henry Mor- genthau, who asserted: "The United States has been historically land of milk and honey. There is still plenty of milk and honey, but too much of it is sn the warehouses. Let's make it flow. s@aAid not a7ly help in keeping prices Nkaple. hut we would be doing something 0 keep them more important: we would De helping to make our people healthier and happier"
 Farm commodities are 66 per cent above the level of years ago. and 12 basic food commodities up more than 70 per cent. These increased prices of fundamentals which enter directly into the cost of liv- ing have influenced all other prices, are held to be at the root of imitation, accord ing to Morgenthau and informed officials and citizens who know the symptoms that produce imitation. Henry Morgenthau is pretty big farmer himself and he owns broad acres of cultivated land in upper New York State. That is one of the quail ifications to say that "the farmer suf- fered cruelty for 12 long years after the collapse'' of twenty years ago, and ssshould not be made to suffer again." He flatly declares that it is "sheer folly' to pile up farm products in warehouses and create artificial Scarcities
 The dangers of rapidly rising prices throughout the country, which have in- vited imitation, are perfectly obvious to everyone. The leaders in private busi- ness, and our officials have been able to get together for once and agree that something must be done about it at once. The average price of basic materials has advanced more than 25 per cent, and wholesale prices are up II per cent since the first of this year. Everybody knows that increased retail prices result from high wholesale prices.

InexorabIe Logic

The mask is off at last. The Nazis have announced that they will shoot any or all Parisians, regardless of race or politics, If attacks on German troops of occupation continue.
 That was inevitable. No army occupying a foreign country could fail to take any steps, including the most hideous, to pro- tect its occupying troops. This is not the point at which we should be shocked.
 The time to have been shocked was when a man believed he could conquer other countries and make them like it, and acted on that belief Though half the population of Paris were led out and shot tomorrow, it would be only the ineX- orably logical outcome of the decision to invade in the first place. One man Il September 1, 1889, made that decision.

Selected Poem
BELLS OF HARTFORD
Beatrice c. Lieb in the Poets Corner,
 Hartford Times)

Beatrice c. Lieb in the Poets Corner,
 Hartford Times) Coouettish dusk is winking In the park The lights along the bridge in answer glow. A thousand lamps pursue the gentle dark, And firt above the rivers placid flow, The sound of steps some brisk, some dragging soW' A motley tale of life and labor tens And OCT the noisy streets clear refrain Is ringing from the deep cathedral bells. The city is a tired, throbbing thing The tragic comic, petty commonplace All blended in the long ng-famiar ring Of "Paper?", Fare, pease! shouts, tolls endless
 pace.
 Within. the park there yet remains a trace Of quiet as the song of evening swels; And haggard faces lose their look ot strain When comes the echo of cathedral bells. A whist'e blows its raucous, welcome blast. The workers leave enslavng tools behind; They have their nightly liberty at last What liberty their hearts have learned to ind The city Is at once both bleak and kind. Here loneliness, here grief here gladness dweus But still, to deepen joy and lessen apin, Are ringing ca m and sweet cathedral bells The city has its small hearts and its great. Humanity in all its forms is here: Drab sorrows brilliant dreams, keen love, stlu hate Spirits that shrink, staunch souls that persevere, The world is fraught with doubt and mounting fear And faith is shattered, as by bombers sneAs; But eer persistent, through the streets again Resounds the music of cathedral bells. That black-frocked churchman, he of daunt!ess wil who built this haven for his brotherhood, Has left dream the city must fulfill Before all men herein may ind It good The dream that all be loved and understood In tolerance resistance never queNs; And through the world, if we this attain Shall ring the song of our cathedral bells.

task and greatly embarrassed him before the whole nation.
 Gladstone, the first thing upon arriving at his office the next morn ing, sent for the statistician who was responsible for this humiliating mis- take and spoke to him as follows: T know how much you must be dis turbed over what has happened, and I have sent for you to put you at your ease. For long time you have been engaged dn handling the tntri- cacies of the national accounts, and this is the first time that you have made a mistake. want to congrat- ulate you and express to you my keen appreciation"
 There are not many men who could act in such a truly big way when political enemies were baying on their trail. This incident reveals the moral stature of Gladstone. But think of the impression it must have made upon the man who was the recipient of this generous treatment. How 1t must have filled his heart with gratitude and made him a hundredfold more valuable to the treasury department than he had been before.

What, No Stables?

We're running headlong right into the real privations of defense economy, all right. Comes from New York furriers the desolating word that there are no $65,00O Russian sable coats to be had this year. It seems that the Russians are busy trying to trap somewhat bigger game than sables. Ermine and chinchilla are going to be equally rare, the furriers report.
 The line of husbands forming in front of the 36th-story jumping window will form at the right. What, no $65,000 sables!" we hear the man at the head of the line cry as he filings himself desper- ately out the window

A petition in equity will be filed soon in the Northern District court of New York to revoke Kuhn's citizenship on the ground that he lied when he swore to and defend the Constitu- tion at the time he was natur- alized in 1884. Also that he did not, in fact, renounce his allegi- ance to Germany.
 The Justice Department will charge that Kuhn's subsequent acts" as organizer and leader of the n-American Bund prove its charge. A number of precedents will be cited whereby the citizen ship of naturalized aliens was re- voked because of an American conduct subsequent to receiving their papers.
 The action will be brought while Kuhn is still in Clinton Prison, Dannemora, N. r, serving a term for embezzlement of Bund funds. However, even should the federal court revoke his citizenship, there is small likelihood that he will be deported when his sentence ex- pires next June.
 Authorities doubt that Germany would take the Bund leader back. Also, there would be no way to ship him to Germany while the war lasts. Loss of citizenship, however, would terminate his Bund activities, as he would be forced to register as an alien, and would be under constant surveillance. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HENRY!

Count that day lost when no announce ment is made of some commodity short age. But actually it is stated that there is no shortage of cotton, nor likely to be. Therefore, women need not worry too much about their summer cottons, sheets, shirtings and the like. It is said that we have great surplus of cotton. There may be delay now and again in the manufac ture but an out and out shortage is not anticipated. The expansion in the cotton industry last year was enormous. Prices in cotton, like everything else, have gone up. In the northern mills last year more cotton was consumed than in any year since 1880, and it is anticipated this year will also be a record one.

Press Comment
CARE OF INSANE CRIMINALS
(Hartford Timesl


 Tn considering the treatment of insane persons who are under prison sentence, Connecticut may, if 1t wishes, look into practises in other States, among them Massachusetts. That State has a hospital for the criminal insane, not connected with any other hospital. The inmates are treated as mentally i'll persons, who may be restored to sanity; in any event they are recipients of scientific treatment.
 At present Connecticut's insane criminals are housed principally at Middletown, with smaller groups at Norwich and Newtown. Warden Walker of the State Prison believes the time has come when they should be brought together in Q separate department of 6 penal institution, perhaps the State Prison. The war; den has the support of psychiatrists in this proposal, and if the public were as well informed on the sub- ject as the penologists and psychia- trists 1t, too~ would give its indorse- ment. It is subject to which the Governor and the heads of State institutions may well devote patient and earnest consideration at their forthcoming conference.

Synthetic rubber may be produced from tHe 'lowly" milkweed, so we read. There Ii. .at be some argument about milkweed being lowly, even if it is included in the weed class. To most it is just another ugly and uninteresting weed but to those born and bred on the farm it sometimes meant mess of greens comparable to the popular dandelions. When picked young enough the milkweed combined with other wild greens makes dish that has been popular in the country for many years.

e. Did Thomas Jefferson seek to avoid all pomp and ceremony dur ing his administrations?
 A. Jefferson's adm in istrations were distinguished by Cile simplicity that marked his conduct in private life. He eschewed the ponnp and cer" emonies, natural inheritances from English origins, that had been an in. nocent setting to the office of his predecessors. Instead of opening Congress with a speech to which a formal reply was expected, he sent a written message. He discontinued the practice of sending ministers abroad in public vessels. Between himself and the governors of the states he recognized no difference in rank. He refused to have his birth day celebrated by state balls. The weekly levee was practically abar1- dcned. Even such titles as "excel- lency," honorable" and "Mr." were distasteful to him.
 Q. May men in the Army marry If they do not have an officers com mission?
 A. If they hold a rank below that of sergeant, they must obtain per mission from their commanding ofi- cers to marry.
 e. Who Is Theodora Roosevelt who recently made her debut as a ballet dancer2
 A. Daughter of Archibald RooSe- welt, third son of Theodore Roose- welt, former president of the United States.
 e. Was the photoplay, stella Dallas" taken from Q novel or stage play?
 A. It was originally novel, pub- lished serially and in book form, by Mrs. Olive Higgins Prouty. The book was dramatized for tHe stage and finally as a scenario for the pho- toplay.
