We Don't Know Our Strength

There is something going on in Amer ica-something so tremendous that few realize it at all. The productive capacity of the country is increasing, and increaS- ing rapidly, after long period of dol drums. Leon Henderson, administrator of the Office of Price Administration, es- inmates that total production of the coun- try today is close to 45 per cent higher than it was in the peak of 1929. The na- tional income is estimated at around 93 billion dollars a year as compared with 76 last year. The entire scale of our na- tional productive capacity is being rap- ally scaled upward. Nor does that neceS- sarily mean that we are simply "build- ing up to an awful letdown." It means that we could have done this any time, given the incentive, and that we can con- tinue to do it after the defense emergency Is past if we will
 In 1917, Henderson surprisingly says, when the country turned to arms produc- tion, there actually was no increase in yhe total productivenesS of the country. That remained static. It was thought good trick to keep it from falling, in view of the quick enforced shift from the aims of peace to those of war But this gen. sration of producers have actually Suc- ceeded in increasing their productivenesS almost AS per cent. The answer is that n 1917 greater percentage of national production went into war purposes. Thus the war materials of that time were turned out at the expense of other pro- duction, without increasing the whole. But observe what is happening today. Cot ton consumption is running at the rate of II million bales year, "phenom- enal' figure. There is no lack of cotton, whose surplus has been national prob lem for years. So cotton textile goods, for example, are likely to be produced and used on scale we have not known, no matter what the demands of defense ir- duStrieS
 A large percentage of production must go, and will go into defense But that won't mean reduction in civilian produc- ton by the same amount. Some items of civilian producton are going to climb right with defense. The result is that we are opening up vista of plenty before us which we will not dare allow to be mirage. A means must and will be found for the American people to turn to their own use the vastly-increased productive capacity they are now creating. The thing to do is to accept (nay, to welcome) that fact, and plan for it. Many leaders of both industry and government are already doing so. We must set our eyes on goals which will be to the past as the Himalayas are to the Rockies.

SIum Clearance Plans

The Republican candidate for mayor, Patrick Perriello, in a public discussion of municipal affairs with Mayor Vincent A. Scully maintained that the admins tration has been lax in not seeking fed eral funds with which to finance Slum clearance and low cost housing projects. Among other things he said: Such projects could have been put through during the past two years so that chil- dren of the low-wage earning group could have had the advantage of sum- light and fresh air Z" There's a lot of sentimental appeal in such claim as this. It's not new with Mr. Perriello, but has been voiced by other individuals and groups.
 On the practical side of the question, though, there is lot to say for Mayor Scully's position and that of his admins tration. And if Slum clearance and low cost housing projects are as involved as the present defense housing projects in Waterbury how much part of them do we want? We have contended from the very beginning that if communities are willing to accept federal funds for such projects as these they must also be will ing to accept the terms by which the fed- eral government binds all parties of the Second-part. It's question if it's worth it to concede to such demands
 We don't think the Scully adminiStra- ton has ever failed to show interest in improving living conditions in Waterbury where it was possible for the city govern ment to intercede. And certainly the last few months of feverish defense prepara- ton have found every arm of the local government extended in the interests of Waterburians, yet cooperating fully with state and national officials. On the score of 6 political issue we don't think that the public should be swayed one way or the other by slum clearance and low cost housing projects.
 We don't expect the city to ignore such projects where they are vltally necessary. And we don't think the Democratic ad- ministration would. But so far we fail to see any serious neglect by Mayor Scully 'n tiaie rasneck

Hope from Burma Road

American trucking experts just re- turned from China, where they have been advising Chiang Kai-Shek on increasing and safeguarding traffic on the vital Burma Road, bring with them encourag- ing news According to Daniel G. Aran- stein, one of them, no amount of Japa- nese bombing will ever close that road. Arnstein was over ever foot of it, studying it critically and making valuable report to Chiang on increasing the traffic which is carrying vital war supplies to China.
 It cannot be bombed beyond a point where quick and effective repair is pos sible. Arnstein believes. The Chinese, then, have done their part in building this magnificent artery of freedom. It remains for other friends of freedom to keep the life-blood supplies flowing into It.

The Kearney Incident

It's obvious to most Americans by this time that we are actually at war with Germany and other Axis powers. We may not be sending the flower of our young manhood into Europe to be butch cred on its battlefields as so many of them were in the last World War, but we are in the war. We probably have been since we took a definite stand against Naziism and threw our material support to Great Britain. We became more so as circumstances necessitated an armed guard in various sections of the Atlantic Ocean.
 The attack on the U. s. destroyer last week should not be surprising in view or all these facts. More surprising, per haps, is the fact that American vessels have escaped such treatment prior to this. Maybe this can be attributed to good Seamanship on the part of the U. s. Navy and to the vigilance our ships on patrol in the Atlantic are showing. The next step, though, may be the crucial one It only needs just such incidents as the Kearny attack to fan the fires ot patriotism to such heat that we can't escape full participation in the European squabble.
 This need not include an expeditionary force and certainly on the basis of pres ent-day sentiment throughout the nation shouldn't. But it may mean that the United States will be called upon to exer- else complete control of the Atlantic by ships and men garrisoned in advantag- eous spots to forestall invasion from Europe. The prospect is not too encourag- ing. But having involved ourselves as far as we have we must see the affair through. We are neither traitors nor uuitters. Our course from now on may be 8 dangerous and hard one, but If we insist on the principles of liberty and equality we are well fortified to last long while.

capable of defending himself and both he and have no love for Hit- Ter or his methods and we believe that eventually the people of Ger many will throw off the yolk of dictatorship and be free again, free from the repetition of war, free from Nazi domination, just the same as the English people will some day get wise and discard the ChurchillS, the Edins, the Sassons the Montague Normans and other BritisherS and then be free to cooperatae with the people of Germany and the rest of the world.
 Holden Wilson is under the iEn- preSsion that anyone who disagrees with our president or who does not wish to go to war for British inper- ialism must be a NaZi or a Fascist. Britain is smart nation and any other nation that uses BritianS methods and even improves on them is also smart as 1t was Britain who first used the system of softening up, dividing and ruling as in the case of India and Ireland and also here in America during our own Civil War, when she furnished war material to the southern states.

Santa Claus pack is expected to bulge more than ever this Christmas because of generally improved economic condi- tions throughout the nation. However, If Santa gets look at some of the federal taxes he may slow down in his annual one-night stand all over the country. A pre-view of toyland at this early date shows that American-made toys predom- mate the field. There are very few foreign made toys in our markets his sea- son. The general theme of these toys Is national defense. There are a lot Of military toys, but they actually com- prise about per cent of the total volume. But you'll find that war and defense have penetrated every form of toy. They are not merely confined to lead soldiers and ships, but games are military in nature; dolls are dressed in service garb. Build ing sets produce forts or ships. Of the most importance, though, is the aI1- nouncement that only per cent of our toys now come from outside the country.

Spain is merely acting as Q se- cret front" and that the cotton is sought for Germany and not Spain.
 If that Is true, and the cotton got across the Atlantic, 1t would be Q double triumph for the Nazis. They would have thuInbed their nose both at our Good Neighbor policy and the British blockade.
 NOTE: Real inside reason for the War Departments seizure of 18 bombing planes bound for Peru was not the announced one-that they were needed for hard-pressed Russia. The planes were diverted because Peru has been bombing open cities in Ecuador, which has no aircraft to retaliate. Lend- lease arinaments are being with held from both until they settle their border squabble.
 Is0LATI0NIsT STRATEGY
 The secret pow.wow of the elev. en Senate isolationiSts to map strategy for the battle against arming merchant ships, wasn't as harmonious as Senator Burton K. Wheeler, who presided, let on to newsmen.
 One of those present caused 6 furore by suggesting that the bat- tic be called off.
 The fifth columnlst" was Sen. ator D. Worth Clark of Idaho, one of the most vocal foes of Roose- velt's foreign policies and chair man of the Anglo phobe.packed committee that has been inVes- tigating movie propaganda" l" Clark almost caused Senators HI. ram Johnson, in whose office the meeting was held, Wheeler and LaFollette to jump out of their chairs by counselling against an open fight on the ship ar,ning is- sue.

It's interesting to note the figures that the Rev. Michael J. Ahearn, s. J., of Wes- ton College used in recent forum ad- dress. He said that 31 per cent of the boys in the U. s. Army are Catholics, yet Catholics only comprise IS per cent of the nations population. We have heard this same claim advanced on previ- ous occasions, particularly in connection with draftees where observers noted a heavier percentage of Catholics being &C., cepted into the armed service branches Why there should be such discrepancy between the figures is hard to explain, but certainly 1t should silence anyone who wants to argue about Catholics in the armed service of the U. s. A.

Do to forget about st and lay Tor the next bill to do away with combat xones," Clark said. That's the big danger, aS I sec it. Armlng merchant shipS won't seriously imperil our neu- trality as long as VIC keep them out of belllgerent waters"
 But the suggestion was roared down. Wheeler urged all present to prepare long speeches and to induce others to do likewise, to keep the debate going in the Sen- ate as long as possible. An out- right filibuSter, he said, was in~ advisable, but the debate should be long and loud enough to make the American people "acutely conscious of the steps being taken by the President to get us into war;"
 Nye, LaFollette and Taft also urged that arming merchant ships and permitting them to enter combat zones were "lnseparabIe CompOnents" in the proposed revi- sion of the Neutrality Act and should be treated as such in floor debate.
 farming merchant ships will be inviting Hitler to fire on them on sight, whether they happen to be in neutral or belligerent waters," Taft declared.
 Upshot of the secret meeting was Q three-fold strategy plan:
 (i) To insist on "open" hearings by the Foreign Relations Com mittee; (2) To put Navy secreta- " Knox, particularly, and other Administration witnesses through Q blistering third-degree ct the hearings, and (3) To prolong floor debate.

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 The latest comment to come from the pen of Holden Wilson Is sur. prise in as much as 1t ls almost a duplicate of his former letter and 0 second attempt to confuse the peo- pie and to smear man who has the courage to voice the opinion of the majority of our citizens.
 In criticizing MT. Aldon Jackson of Middlebury, Holden Wilson shows almost total ignorance of 6 prob- lem which he seems to believe Is one of recent origin, but if he has any knowledge Of world history, present, recent and past he would not be so childish in his views. MT. wilson does not seem to be able to see past the smoke screen of British propaganda which seeks to place Britain on Q pedestal as the champion of the down trodden, the deliverer of enslaved peoples and the enemy of unjust aggression. Britain could tell more about un- just aggression from actual exper. fence than any other nation in the world. I wonder if Holden Wilson realizes that Britain could deliver 500 million people from Imperalis- tic Bondage and economic slavery merely by the stroke of pen. Of course, I refer to the people of In- dia, Arabia, Africa, North Ireland and almost everywhere in the world and still he believes that England declared war on Germany because the freedom and independence of Poland, Belgium, etc. were in dan- ger.
 MT. Wilson accused Germany of softening France and preparing her for defeat, but those who do not confine their reading to literature from the Committee to Defend America by aiding the Allies, know that this was accomplished by Com munist Activities and encouraged during the Leon Blum French New Deal. when strikes in defense in- dustries were permitted and when the investments of Leon Blum and Neville Chamberlain in German and Russian Munition Industries was of paramount importance, the safety of England and France coming sec ond.

 This is a cogent commentary on present world affairs. Dictators are breaking into their neighbors houses under the pretense of establishing a new world order. But they have no keys to open anything. They have break into other people, houses but they will have to have keps to un- lock the real treasure chests in which are kept human satisfaction and happiness. They do not have such keys. but the meek have.
 And if you think that the best way to 90 through life is to slash around you until everybody covers In your presence, just remember that in the end society gangs up on people who behave ln that fashion

AFTER SUMMER

AFTER SUMMER
 (F4arry Elmore Hurd in the New York Sun) Yesterday-or some brief day before Phlox and hollyhocks stood by our door: There was a tang of mint leaves near at hand And dewy odors rising from the land That is our portion of this crowded earth Whence came this bleak and devastating dearth Of blossomed beauty? Shall the screaming jay, Whose black barred blue is flowerlike repay Us for this waste, or winter compensate For one lost sparrow singing to its mate? The boughs-so barren now-shan bloom with snov And nights shall be as fields where bluets grow But who remembering May and mignonette, Can face the winter months without regret2

and see to it that their careers come to a dismal end. Nature works a. gainst them by raising their blood pressure and predisposing them to apoplexy, or giving them stomach ulcers of heart disease. God is still in His heaven and He had not abated e jot or title the principle 7nounced by Christ. that the world is finally possessed not by the heavy handed but by the meek.
 Such people are happy indeed because they alone possess the keys which open the doors to success and every other living satisfaction. All Rights Reserved-Babson News

Shortly after the New York voluntarily quitting this job which gave him his political start, will make a speech in which he will oesert the isolationist camp.
 Dewey will not 60 all the way with wendell Willkie, COP titular leader, who has come out for 0 declaration of war against Hitler. But he will endorse the policy of aiding foes of Nazlsin and will call for national unity behind the President.
 Behind the scenes, Dewey has been webbing on the foreign is- sue for some time. With his eye fixed on the New York guber- material race next year aS 6 step- ping stone for another try ct the presidency in 1o44, he has been in a stew which way to jump. What cautious statements he has made have been of an isolationiSt tenor and he has been considered in the "antp fold.
 But after some secret polling in key sections of the State, Dewey finally became convinced that # he wants to be governor he will have to diSass0clate himself clearly and definitely from any isolatlonlst taint.
 So, after the municipal cleo. tions, he will take the plunge In Q speech carefully staged to eI1- sure the widest publicity.
 GRACIAS, sENHoRA
 The famous Brazilian artist Candido Portinari recently paint. ed Q portrait of Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., who accompanied her movie star husband on Q good- will tour of Latin America.
 When the portrait was complet. ed, the artist sent it to her, but much to his surprise the portrait came bouncing back, with Q letter in which Mrs. Fairbanks said that since her husband had been out of work for some months, and was now devoting his time to the serv- ice of his country (Douglas Is in the Naval Reserve), she found 1t impossible to buy the portrait. The price was $500.
 With Q gesture which only La- tin could conceive, Portinari cal- culated the number of hours Mrs. Fairbanks had spent in sitting for the portrait, multiplied 1t by the hourly wage of an artists model, and sent her Q check.
 NOTE: Portinarl is now paint ing a series of murals for the His- panic Foundation of the Library of Congress in Washington. NEW NAZI SCHEME
 U. s. Intelligence authorities have uncovered a new Nazi scheme to get desperately needed raw ma terials at the expense of our La. tin American Good Neighbor poli- cy and the British blockade.
 The way the plan works Is this: The Nazis get friendly neutral European country to approach a South American government with an attractive offer to buy 8 large quantity of goods. Ostensibly the purchase is for the neutral, but actually 1t is for Germany, to whom the goods would be trans shipped once they crossed the At- lantic.
 One suspected deal of this kind was uncovered in Fl Salvador, in Central America.
 The Spanish Minister there offered to buy 5000 bales of cotton from the government. With its export trade in the d0IdrumS because of the war, El Salvador would like very much to make a sale of this size. But authorities are skeptical of the ultimate destination of the cot- ton.
 Fascist Spain is closely asso- ciated with Nazi Germany. Also, General Franco is heavily in Hit ler's debt for aid in the civil war. Authorities strongly suspect that

Theoretically Waterbury was bombed to a -thee-well last week when air maneuvers were held all along the east ern Seaboard. All such theories, though, seemed based on the most meagre defense set-up. In the event that the eastern seaboard was to be bombed by an enemy, as elaborate defense set-up would have been produced as was the plan for the air attack.
