PLANES SPEED UP PLANES

The airplane speeds up everything, even
the airplane.
Today, when everything depends on
speeding up the production of airplanes
and more airplanes. what's one of the
leading means of speeding up that pro-
duction? Why, the airplane ITSELF
Hint of this comes with the newest fig
ures on air express shipments, which
show that shipments to and from airplane
plants show the greatest increase in
general increase in air express shipments
over two years ago. That increase was
287 per cent 1t means that plans, small
parts, vital castings, dies, and light ma
chinery are now winging through the air
from airplane factory to airplane fac
tory, saving precious days and minutes
in the creation of more airplanes

DEBUNKING DEFUNCT
FUNK BUNK

To do to the world what Germany is
trying to do to it requires many kinds of
men.
1t requires street brawlers like Rudolph
Hess to overawe physical opposition and
beat helpless minority people into a
bloody pulp. 1t requires willy intriguers
like Won Papen to beguile diplomats. 1t
requires traitors to their countries, like
Quisling. 1t requires masters of manipu-
1ation of the mass-mind, like Goebbels. 1t
also requires sat least one oily but reSpec-
table voice to assure everyone that all
this is being done for their own good and
for the good of all the world.
Such a voice is that of Dr. Walther
Funk, the shrewd economic brain" of the
Reich His mission is to appeal to business
men throughout the world in an effort to
assure them that all Germany wants is
prosperity for ALL and that dealing with
the economic colossus she is trying to set
up will be pleasant and profitable for the
rest of the world
So the plausible Dr. Funk is out with
another of his frequent efforts to reassure
an alarmed world. AS usual, there is Just
enough truth in what he says to make it
persuasive And as usual the basis and
the conclusions are as false as shot-glass
IN cllp-Jolnt.
Excessive nationalism, extreme au-
tocracy, border trade barriers, says DR..
Funk, were part of the cause of economic
collapse before the war. Right. No use
trying to reconstruct the world on prin-
ciples that led to collapse, he insinuates.
Right.
The real aim of German policy, purrs
DR.. Funk, is long-range cooperation OF
equal partners TO eliminate depressions
and make everybody in the world happy,
happy, happy.
What "co-operation"? What equal
partners? The kind of cooperation that
France and Italy and Bulgaria and Hun
gary and Rumania-yeS, and Russia, are
now giving Germany at gun point? The
kind of equal partners" that Mussolini
and Hirohito and Quisling and Darlan and
Franco and Michael and Boris and Pu Vi
and Wang are to Hitler?
No, thank you 1t may be, and it prob
ably is necessary to remake the interna-
tional mold of the world But it is not
going to be done at gun point, against
the worlds will, and exclusively accord
ing to the design of Adolf Hitler, or even
that of DR.. Funk.
The eminently respectable DR.. Funk
probably never clubbed Jew in his life,
probably never shot down single man or
woman standing in defense of their
homes. But the economic blueprint ex-
tended in his immaculately-glo gloved hand
is hard to read, somehow, smudged and
smeared-Great Heavens, man, look out
there That's blood

THE PRICE OF IMMUNITY
(Wall Street Journal)

When labor unions were weak, it be-
came a kind of fashion even in conserv-
ative legislative bodies to grant them
special exemptions from certain laws.
1t was not long before this same philoso-
ply took hold of local administrative Of
ficialS so that in many cases they prac-
tically suspended the enforcement of or
dinary police powers when unions or
their officers were concerned. 1t will be
informative at least to see how far we
have gone toward creating a priviledged
class.
A labor union can invade plant and
destroy the property of the employer
without the guilty members running any
great danger of being called to account
or without the union running any great
danger of being forced to pay damages.
Labor union members can block high
ways, engage in physical violence to the
point of murder and it is unusual that
they pay any penalty for an action which
would and should send another indlvld-
ual to jail for long term.
A labor union cannot be enJolned IN
federal courts, even when its intention to
commit violence is unmistakable.
A labor union has been held not subject
TO the antitrust laws.
labor union may be headed by Com
munist, but if an employer says as much
to his employees, he is in danger of being
cited for law violation.
A labor union can sign a contract,
which its members may break in day or
week, and for practical purposes the
employer is without redress.
The wonder is not that in few out
standing cases labor leaders have taken
full advantage of this immunity from the
law. Rather it is that the great mass of
American industrial workers have con-
Quoted themselves with decency and res
traint. Most of them do prefer the counsel
table to the picket line. Most of them pre-
fer to be law-abiding. Most of them keep
their contracts.
But this country happens to be in a
situation where most of them is not
enough. The deeds of the ruthless, the
reds and the racketeers are obscuring
the rest of the picture. Congress is being
driven into action and the action may be
ill-considered and unpleasant, not only
for labor unions but also for those who
believe that Government coercion is not
the right way to resolve matters in de-
mOcracy.
The plain fact is that we don't need any
new laws What we do need is the repeal
and the modification of some that we have
And above all, what we need is the honest
enforcement of laws against violence.
In the long run, the attempt to retain
special priviledges results in special pen
alties. 1t is not too late for the labor
unions to realize that.

Working on Roadside
Identification

Travellers on highway No. 2 in
the vicinity of Boisvert's camp,
south Of Libby, have recently been
interested in a roadside beautifi-
cation project that is now under
way there. Contractors are at work
in dressing up and smoothing off
the shoulders Of the highway and
the deep cuts in hillsides made
necessary in the construction of the
roadbed These cuts have been
seeded to from six to eight differ
ent varieties of grass that are said
to be good for that purpose. The
surface of the cut is then covered
with heavy layer of straw and the
straw held in place by jackpine
poles laid every few feet along
the face of the cut. 1t is said this
will prevent the heavy freezing and
heaving OF the soil during the win
ter, will also conserve surface mois-
ture and will tend to give the seed
ing better chance Of termination
in the spring.
The shoulders of the highway
have also been seeded. They have
then been covered with peat moss,
which acts as protection and also
as fertilizer and a holder Of
moisture.
1t is understood the contract calls
for several miles of such work in
that vicinity.

els against storing grain having a
high moisture content.
Climatic conditions during the

creased the possibility Of insect
damage because of wet grain, he
said. Over moist grain heats and the
heating process speeds up spoilage
and insect damage. Wheat with q
moisture content of Is per cent OF

tilated bins. If proper ventilation
is provided, wheat with Is to 14H
per cent moisture can be safely
stored. Under no circumstances
should grain having moisture con-
tent of more than 14h per cent be
placed in permanent storage.
Other steps farmers can take tc
guard against insects include:
Cleaning up all waste grain and
trash from between walls and
around the outside of the granary
thorough cleaning and disinfectine
of bins, avoid placing new grain or
top Of old.
