Remember, all of us do not have
maids TO care for the youngsters
and cook the meals.
Men, by the way, do not have
these impediments.
In your criticism perhaps you
were not thinking Of the class OF
voters to which 1 belong,-but
assure you we are in the majority,
and we rate your consideration.
Thank you. Mr.. Hearst, for your

Dear Editor:
THE article written for the Feb

umn was both timely and perspicu-
Ously presented.
1t seems ironical that you should
have chosen as your topic: Peace
as the attainment of our goal-On
the birthday of the great Lincoln
who wanted peace more than any
thing else, yet he had only war.
Your charges against the women
Of America are sadly enough too
true and complete. We are now,
and have been In the past, sadly
remiss I'm our exercise OF the rights
and duties given us as women of
this free land.
No one hates war more strongly
than women, for are they not the
mothers and wives who spend
years OF bitter tears and regrets
over the loss of their men, yet even
now in the face of this, which is
more than a mere threat, they do
nothing but talk.
But here, as often Is the case,
words are idle, for they are neither
definite nor directed.
But is II fair to condemn when
the victim although conscious of
her omission does not know what
she can do to accomplish what h

RAIDER FORCED BACK

Later a lone raider flew up the
Thames Estuary towards London
but was forced aside by anti-air-
craft fire.
The daylight raids followed a
third successive night attack on
the South Wales port of Swansea,
causing considerable property dam
age and casualties.
The German bombers attacked
in waves, dropping first flares.
then incendiary bombs and finally
high explosives. Fires swept the
business and residential districts.
During the night London expert
enced its four hundred eighty
second air raid alarm of the war.
A few bombs were dropped, but
the all-clear signal sounded shortly
after midnight and no serious
damage was reported.

ARMS PRODUCTION

Our snaips pace arms production
doesn't need any declaration of an
emergency or new legislation to
speed it up. 1t needs just one thing,
authorized and responsible manage
ment and leadership In the govern
ment itself. That seems so plain
as not to need argument. Even a
very small industrial effort needs
that. Nobody would dream of start
ing one without that.
Mr.. Knudsen says that the public
is '.sold" to the necessity for speed
and production, but that industry
and labor are asleep. Almost at the
moment he was saying that, another
member Of the rearmament adj
visory overhead, Mr.. Nelson, was
telling us that the trouble is that the
public is apathetic, asleep.
This is not to criticize these gentle
men. They have done marvellous
jobs of making without straw such
bricks as we have manufactured.
The straw that management of a
great effort needs is authority. They
haven't got it. But did anybody ever
hear of any determined effort on
their part to get it?
It is well known that there has been
none. In the absence of such an eff
fort, perhaps we should look twice
at these indictments of the public,
of labor and of industry-especially
when one of these authorities says
that the public is to blame while the
other feels that the public attitude
is satisfactory but that industry and
labor are the goats.
Whenever a man, or group of
men, step into the drivers seat,
there is only one goat when the bus
doesn't run. It is the man at the
controls. If he didn't get the right
gasoline or has accepted faulty
accelerator, IT doesn't lie in his
mouth to blame either the passen-
gers or the rest of the crew.
Mr.. Knudsen is right about the
public attitude. The public has been
far ahead of government for defense
from the very start, ahead of both
congress and the executive depart
ment. It baked at nothing. It is
ready for any sacrifice.
As for labor and industry, they are
the public. Their response at such a
time depends entirely upon govern
ment leadership of them. They are
tbs lead, swing and heel horses of
this team. They can haul the load
and put every ounce of their weight
on the traces. But they can't set
the pace and direction without a
guiding intelligence and inspiration
to spark the effort. There is 10
hanging back on the industrial side.
1t has never been more willing and
eager since World War 1.
The solution of our problem
doesn't reside in words and gestures
and laws and new, strange and I'M
American devices. It resides IN
work and common sense and COM
petent leadership.

TERRIBLE URGENCY

Just now, In the highly successful
strengthening process of forming
more or less panicky public opin-
ion, there are three principal shib-
boleths or sloganeered conclusions
floating about Washington.
The first is sort of hushed whis-
per that the next 100 days will de-
eide the fate of the world, including
ours. This is the terrible urgency"
mystery and out of it grows a Sec
ond-that we should begin fnanc-
ing the British Empire over this
short crisis by gift or loan, secured
or otherwise to the extent of about
1000, 000, 900. A third, somewhat
Inconsistency, is that this is strug-
gle to an absolute knockout between
Hitlerism and democracy, that we
must get into it with force of arms,
and that it must go on until one
or the other is wiped completely off
the slate.
No matter which of these conclu-
sions or any variation or opposition
of them is held, there seems to be
no difference of opinion whatever
that we must get our industry into
an about, high speed war produc-
ton Immediately and that we are
not doing it. So let's skip that.
We ought to take long look, how
ever, at this proposal to finance the
British Empire We can't reach
decision on the basis of any To-day
crisis or any $4,000, 600, 900 estimate.
Britain has plenty of resources here
to get all that we shall have to give
for many times 120 days If this
is to be long war to the destruc-
ton of Hitler on the continent and
we now concede the amount of In
terest or obligation nenesaty: TO.
warrant financing this phase: OF 1T.
up to So, 000, O00, 900, we are hooked
inextricably involved. There IS and
there can be mp limit On THE billions
we must spend. When you get into
a war, you don't count costs.
That isn't all. Helping by supplies
to enable England to resist invasion,
to maintain the British feet and shut
Hitler up on the Continent of Eu-
rope, as Napoleon was blockaded, is
one thing-largely matter of main
tanning naval and air supremacy.
Invading Europe and destroying Hit
Ter is quite another thing. He has
a superior army with all the equip
ment accumulated during years of
European rearmament. Napoleon
blew up through interior revolt but,
compared with the grip that Hitler
has taken on his conquests, Napo-
leon was sissybritches.
The Nazis are harder boiled and
more realistic. No man can fore
see history, but the chances are that
the complete erasure of HitIer's
crew would require land forces far
beyond Britain's capacity-beyond
any capacity but our own millions
of men and billions of dollars fight
ing interminably on European soil.
If that's what we want, let's do It.
But let's get all the facts and explore
all the possibilities before we decide.
Let's not be sheep-herded or buns
rushed. Look down-look down
that lonesome road before you travel

whence it had come.
1t was the knife that had hung in

had uttered the fat sound of snit-

lodge inside the door of the Paget

I bent over it again. Miss Aga
tia made no further protest as I
picked it up by its point, swathed it
loosely in my handkerchief, and
rose. Her eyes met mine and asked
a question. I feared to answer. I
heard myself say:

She nodded. I placed the hand
kerchief-wrapped knife in her lap
and trundled her to the elevator
shaft. We were silent on our up
ward journey. In the work-room, I
picked up the nluffed weapon care
fully and laid it on the desk. Then
I faced Miss Agatha.
It was hard to ask the question.
The knife had killed; it might kill
again. 1t was the link between the
murdered and the murderer. My
voice was hoarse:
What shall we do, now?"
She blinked. Her speech was calm
as her face:

I finched when Miss Agatha said
impatiently:
Cant you do it?"
She rolled forward to take the
key. 1t turned as she moved and
I pulled the door open before her
advancing chair.
There it is" Miss Agatha said,
''over-"
Her voice cied. The harsh sound
of her indrawn breath set my neck
to prickling. The light of the cell
ing bulb poured into the nav of the
storeroom. It shone upon something
at Miss Agatha's feet at which she
stared, at which I gaped, first stu
pidIy, then in frantic disbelief. I
bent forward.

a dry whisper. Don't touch it."

There are thousands of homes In
America that need spiritual and
mental and actual renovating in this
New Year. They need more con-
sideration from Dad; more patience
with the boys. They need more
consciousness from Mother, less
reckless spending, more care for
the budget. They need politeness
from children; thought of what that
constant request for dimes and quar-
tiers means to Dad They need clean
er kitchens, hotter, more sensible
meals, comfortable chairs, we'll
placed lights.
They need more laughter, more
friendly talk, more general interest,
more games. They need less COM
planning. less self-absorption, less
saying of the stupid and unfriendly
things that are sure to hurt and to
cause trouble. They need reso-
lutte campaign against fear, and a
constant steady holding to the truth
that anticipated dangers and trou-
bles rarely materialize, and that If
annoyances, losses, griefs do come,
they bring with them the strength to
bear them.
If hundreds-thousand billions
of our homes were so rebuilt during
1871, we should become a nation SC
strong and so united that more than
ever we would be the marvel and
the envy of the world.
