and when the armistice was declared on
November 11,I918, we had 3,673,8S8 men
in the U. S. army.
What about our potential strength IN man
power? On October 16 exactly l6,56O,4O7
men between the ages of Is and 30 inclusive
registered under the s~elective service act.
These men, as they are called to service and
examined, are being rejected for physical
disabilities of one kind or another at the
rate Of 81 per cent.
Thus America has a long way to go before
we have a fully trained, mechanical army,
capable of engaging In modern warfare Win
an even chance of coming out alive. TO send
an army to Europe now would be nothing
short of mass murder.
Americas outlook in the future is not
quite as dark as lend-lease proponents would
have us believe. We have unrivalled poten-
tails in strategic materials, production fac
ilities, and manpOwer. Our position Is not
nearly as hopeless as some OF our leaders
would have us believe. .,
The policy of some of our congressional
leaders in citing statistics and more statistics
TO show us up as a nation completely at the
mercy of a German army has done nothing
more than contribute to mass hysterla In
America which has had a confusing effect
on the total defense program.
In the final analysis it Is going to be
American machine power and manpower
that is going to save this country from the
conflagration raging in Europe between TO-
talitarian countries and the British Empire.
The sooner we realize that we are not nope
lessly outmoded and o~utnumbered and start
working for our w defense the safer we
will be. :.
An America prepared to defend itself will
not be invaded by Hitler and all the COM
bined powers of Europe.

Junior Colleges Doing Important
Work.; Need Vocational Training

The Junior Colleges of Mississippi are
doing an important work by increasing edu-
c~ational opportunities for a large percentage
of our population which otherwise would
never secure more than high school training.
During the school year 1939-4O the total
of white students graduating from Missls-
sippi schools was 9,845. Of this number
only 3,506 entered any college this year.
Thus approximately two-thirds of our high
school graduates do not secure additional
training throughout the state.
In Holmes and Carroll counties where both
counties support a Junior College there was a
total of ITS graduates in 1910 and "a Of
them entered a college this year, or nearly
one-half.
Holmes had 1O8 graduates in 1910 and
Sc to enter college while Carroll had 81
graduates with % to enter college.
In the adjacent area of seven counties the
number of students entering college is about
the same as the state average, only one
third. In Attala, Madison, Choctaw, Gre
NADIA, Montgomery, Webster and Yazoo
counties there was a total OF 728 graduates
with only ZIG seeking further training.
The fact that fully two-thirds OF our stu
dents graduating from high schools in Mis-
sissippi do not have the ambition or means
to seek further training indicates the nee
essity for some kind of vocational training
that will fit them for useful work and make
them capable of earning a decent living for
themselves, becoming substantial citizens OF
the state and country.
For this reason we hope that as many OF
the vocational training schools being es-
tablished by the u. S. government in con.
nection with the national defense program
will be placed in Mississippi as possible. In
no state is there greater need for vocational
training.
More specifically we hope that the eff
forts of trustees of Holmes Junior College,
now in Washington seeking such a school,
will be crowned with success. We have a
splendid institution at Goodman well located
for such a school. We can serve a wide area
of the state due to our location and facilities
of transportation
Total national defense should function in
peace times as well as war-threatened times.
Our greatest enemy is not the totalitarian
state but conditions that make it possible,
unemployment, its accompanying poverty
and disease.
When all of our people are trained in
some form of vocation that will enable them
to secure employment and earn a decent
living we will not be threatened with wars
and rumors of wars. We will be the mas
ters of our own destinies.
Vocational training is a paramount need
in Mississippi and every southern state.

Hoffman called it a natural adjustment OF

BITS O. BUSINESS-For the goth sue
cessive week, loans to business by reporting
member banks of the Federal Reserve Sys-
TEN showed a weekly gain-one of surest
signs of expanding business activity, for it
is a gauge of embarkations upon new enter
prise and expansion of established bust
nesses; in those 20 weeks, starting last Sep
TENDER, the total volume of such loans has
increased by 13 per cent Lumber con-
sumption for the first quarter of this year
is expected to be 20 per cent above that
for 1940's first quarter rising prices in
textiles give assurance of at least steady,
and probably advancing, operations in that
board field Nationwide department store
sales slipped a little from the furious pace
they'd been setting since around Thanks
giving-not dropping below the comparable
week of 1910, but showing a mere seven per
cent rise whereas for two preceding weeks
the gains over those weeks of 1910 had been
10 per cent.

OO0, 900. Other items in the list are: Cloth
ing, equipment and subsistence; tanks and
combat vehicles; stockpiling of strategic raw
materials, and supplementary housing.
"KNOW-HOW"-Prime example of how
the experience and manufacturing technique
gained by certain U. S. industries during
lean years when there was little demand for
their products has become of great impor-
lance in meeting the sudden demands OF
the national defense program is the magne-
SUM fabricating industry, says Wiser Brown,
president of American Magnesium corpora
ton. His firms output of magnesium cast
ings has already been stepped up to 20 times
the normal peacetime demand experienced
by it in 1888. Now purchase of four build
ings and land at Bridgeport, Conn.,, are to be
used for further immediate expansion. Total
employees of the concerns six plants now ex-
coed 1000, will be nearer $500 by mid-1942.
"Know-how" in fabricating magnesium Eek
tremely volatile in the molten state) &C
CURED during years when the industry was
experimenting and attempting to develop a
market is a valuable factor in making such
speedy expansion possible, Brown said.
QUESTION AND ANSWER-In Washing
ton, Attorney General Arnold has under
way a probe to answer the question-has
monopoly reared it's ugly head in the food
industry? In the same city at least one ans
wer is contained in a monograph just pub
lished by the Temporary National Economic
Committee-better known as the Monopoly
committee. In a special report to that group,
written by DR.. A. c. Hoffman, Department
