Theodore Charles Stone, noted

the YMCA.

time in Finland where he was in

Try, made lasting friendships with
Palmgren. Sibclius and others. He
made rather thorough excursions
into the development of the music
Of the far-northern country and
returned to the States with much

love will not run smoothly under

Business Affairs: Government

equipped with depth bombs anu
aircraft guns, rapid-firing guns
OF rather large caliber.
One OF the principal advsn-
tages of Corvettes is that they
require a complement of only
three officers and less than so
men. That's less than half OF
a destroyer, whose work Corvet-
ties help to dol.
The other big advantage lies
in that Corvettes can be built
in about two-thirds the time 1t
takes to hammer a destroyer to-

Editor The Times: I note
the senators at Olympia want
to give the electorate the oppor-
tunity to decide by vote what
form of tax they want as
means Of raising money for the
pension act. Why not be really
democratic and let them decide
whether they are to pay any
taxes or not?
That is the weakness of de-
mocracy, yes, we may say II
is the failure of democracy. The
elected representatives of the
people are unwilling to assume
any responsibility or leadership.
They at least should have more
ability and understanding of
conditions than the average
voter, and therefore should lead
the way.
Very few people enjoy paying
taxes. II is quite natural that
the majority would vote for a
tax that will not hit themselves.
This state is nationally known
as being radical. With cheap
power as bait we are anxiously
trying to lure the elusive indus
trialist 10 our state, but we
scare him him away by labor
racketeering and political nom
sense. We cannot expect much
development until we can con-
vince the people who have
money that we have reached ca
pability Of self government.
We hear much talk of saving
the democracies. If what we
now have can be called democ-
racy, with all its labor racket
eering and other nonsense. I
doubt very much that we can
save II regardless of who wins
the war. We cannot stay where
we are because il is unsound
and will not work. We must
take one Of three roads.
One leads 70 real free econo-
my, free enterprise. with free
price competition Of goods.
services. and wages. That means
that all monopolies must go.
even the dictstorisl power Of or
ganized labor. This would be
sound. practical. and would
work. but the majority do not
want TO 60 that way. The ma
jority always leads the govern
ment.
The second road leads 70 the
totalitarian state. with q pow
erful government fixing all
prices Of goods. services and
wages similar 10 fascism or
naxism.
The third road leads 20 COM
munism- I do not really think
that we Will take IT.

II is labor-both AFL and CLIO

of critics resentful at the failure
of their states to obtain more

Together with the wars alb

Hitler may not try a knock

to these reports. He will con-
tinue his air and submarine

people, who have been fed with
promises of quick conquest OF

otherwise. But now that he has
swallowed the Balkans, he may
sit down on the continent and
consolidate his position as the

report has it that he may prowl
