u, S. DESTROYERS

The submarine situation which
forced the Reuben James and now
threatens all U. S. destroyers in the
North Atlantic, is far different from
that of the last war.
Today, German submarines OPP
crate in gangs or wolfpackS of three
to five, lurking in the path of a
convoy, and without putting their
periscopes out of the water. They
do not even run their engines. Thus
the approaching destroyer cannot
pick up the subs with its sound de-
tector, but the subs, on the other
hand, can hear the engines of the
approaching convoy.
Then when the convoy is within
range, the subs release their tor
pedoes, sometimes blind. In other
words, they do not lift their peri
scopes but frequently fire merely
in the direction of the approaching
engines. Because conveys travel so
close together these days, hits are
almost certain.
Submarines fire blind chiefly in
the daylight. At night, on the other
hand, when the submarine cannot
be seen, it comes to the surface.
This is one reason for the in
creased number of merchant vessel
casualties since September, for as
the nights became longer, U-boats
have longer hours to operate on the
surface,

WHEN AGE CREEPS UP, SMALL
TOWN OFFERS FRIENDLINESS
TO MOVE, to change from one
home to another, from one locality
to another that is far away, has
different meaning to those of diff
ferent ages.
To youth, moving means change
that is adventure and the distance
to that far-away place but lends to
it an appealing enchantment.
Those who have passed the zenith
of life are living largely in the past.
To them old ties, old associations
have welded strong chains that are
not easily broken. The old house,
like its occupants, has passed its
best days, but it is home. Its rooms
have echoed the merry prattle of lit
tie children-your children, now
with homes and families of their
own in distant places. Its lighted
windows and honey atmosphere
have welcomed you after the days
labors. Its walls have shielded you
from the storms. In its library you
put your finger on any desired book.
You knew just where your pipe
would be. Your slippers were there
beside your favorite chair, inviting
you to comfortable evening.
Yes, the old house was home, de-
spite the changes the ceaseless
movement of a great city had
wrought all about it. Strange faces
had taken the place of the old neigh
bors. Today there is no one to
whom you wish CHEEKY good morn
ing; no one with whom you may
enjoy an evenings chat. The faces
you see this week are not those
you saw last week, or those you
will see next week. No, the old
home is but now an oasis in sea
of ever-changing sands of human
ity. The locality has changed from
one of homes to one of rooming
houses, warrens in which reside for
a day, a week or a month those
to whom ''home" is a meaningless
word.
The old neighbors have disap-
peared. Many of them are occupy
ing last resting places in the ceme-
teries. Others are scattered hither
and yon, and now you-and the you
is me and mine-are to go, exchang-
ing the roaring, scurrying metre
politan city for a bungalow amidst
the quietude and simple pleasures of
a small town, where we hope again
to find what we lost-neighbors and
friends from whom we will receive
a CHEEKY good morning.
1t will be a bit hard to forget the
old home, with all the memories
that surround it. We 60 not upon
an adventure, but in search of
the things the old home once pro-
vided-the simple pleasures and the
smiling, friendly greetings of neigh
bors. Such things exist in the towns
and villages of America.

THE AMERICAN SYSTEM
AND THE OLD LADY

A FEW YEARS ago 1 stood one
day beside a linotype operator,
watching his fingers idle over the
keys of the machine he was operat-
ing. knew his capabilities. The
plant had, up to a few weeks be-
fore, operated on a piece basis,
and each day that man had pro-
duced more than twice what he was
then producing, but the union had
banned piece work and forced a
time basis, fixing a minimum the
company could demand. 1t was
that daily minimum this operator
was producing.
John" I asked, 'were you more
tired at the end of a day when you
did piece work than you are now,
working on time and producing
about half the type you did them"
''Not Bit" he replied, ''but why
should / work faster so the old
lady out in Omaha may have a
few more dollars to spend?"
The "old lady" is dead now. Of
the profits that were made, she took
none with her on the road she trav-
eled, other than enough to pay for
a shroud and casket. A consider
able portion of those profits went to
provide more machines that meant
more jobs for more men to support
more homes. Another portion went
into a reserve that provided pay
for John, and other Johns, during
the days of depression, when losses
instead of profits were piling up
day after day. The remainder is
today invested in worthy institu-
tons that are enjoyed by the gen.
eral public.
The little story illustrates the Amer
lean system of free competition.
COST OF SCHOOLING
IN CALIFORNIA in 1910 the aver
age cost for the year for primary
schooling of children of the state
was SLOT 40. There was wide vari-
alton in the cost in different school
districts, with $216.86 as the top and
$60.65 as the bottom. The differ
ence in cost was largely the diff
ference in training that the children
received. In districts, whether city
or country, where the training was
confined to fundamentals of the
three "r's," the cost was low.
With so-called frills, it was high.

Gle in the American magazine, in

does not adopt an Intervention plat
form, new party will do so. Are

D. Roosevelt as one of the goals for
which the American people should

Town Hall season in New York, Mrs.

Roosevelt declared that tthe United
States we want and the world we
want should offer hope and a
chance for progress to all people.
In order to meet this challenge and
'fthe burden of reconstruction,
Mrs. Roosevelt said, all individuals
in the United States must be "men-
tally, morally and physically pre-
pared for the sacrifices and suffer-
ing entailed in the task" They are
not yet prepared, she asserted.

BRITISH AND U. S. POLICY
U. S. diplomats are not shouting
it from the housetops, but there have
been two important occasions when
the British put a very restraining
hand on American foreign policy,
and checked major moves in the
South Atlantic and the Pacific.
One move was last May when it
became conclusively apparent that
the Vichy government was the tool
of Hitler and when many u. S.
strategists favored the taking OF
Martinique and the Azores, and per-
haps even landing force at Dakar
in French West Africa.
But the Churchill government pro-
tested that this would take U. S.
ships away from transporting sup
plies to the Battle of Britain; would
focus American attention upon an
other part of the world. So Roose-
welt kept out of the South Atlantic.
The second move was about two
weeks ago when Mr.. Churchill tele-
R1AOAAC0 4CS10C1b W oANAoS
against any showdown with the jap
anese in the Pacific. His advice
came shortly after the new pro-
NaZi cabinet took Office in Tokyo.
Churchill urged that the battle In
Europe was the main show and the
United States should not get abb
sorbed with side-shows.
Regarding this Churchill advice,
there continues to be a wide rift
inside the Roosevelt administration.
And incidentally, there is not COM
plete unity on this point inside the
British government. Australian sem
timent leans toward a cleaning up
of the Pacific situation, after which
all parts of the British Empire, plus
perhaps the United States, could
concentrate on Europe.

Rift in Administration.

Rift IN Administration.
Inside the Roosevelt administra-
ton, the men who urge a go-slow
policy toward Japan are Admiral
Stark, chief of naval operations, and
the state department. On the other
side are many of the other admirals,
including Admiral Ernest King,
commander of the Atlantic fleet,
who says he can get along in the
Atlantic merely with his pres
ent consignment of destroyers and
light cruisers, which are all that
are needed for conveying.
The first big point of the "strong
policy" admirals is that every day
of delay weakens the Russians, and
the Russians are the big potential
allies of the United States against
Japan. With Russian bombing
planes operating from Vladivostok
against the paper and bamboo
houses of Tokyo and Yokohama, the
Japanese would be up against it.
The second big point urged by
these admirals is one which not
many people realize: When the Unit
ed States went into the last war,
Japan was on our side. There was
no need to worry about the Pacific.
But this time, the minute the U.S.A.
becomes embroiled in Europe, it
has to guard its back door against
a traditional and very potent rival.
Therefore, argues the Pacific
school within the navy, let's face
our enemies one by one rather than
have two jumping on us later and
from opposite directions.
There is nothing the navy breads
more than the idea of attack in two
oceans at once-attacks aimed at
Alaska on one side and Brazil on
the other. That is why some of
the admirals so resent the phone
calls from Winston Churchill.

1 Martha threw herself on her bed. The tears which had been damned up so long came freely then. She cried with her face in the pillow where Bills head had lain, every night. She cried with her fists balled up and Butch worried and l restless on the floor under her bed. After a while, he crawled up and licked her comfortingly. 'Oh, Butch" she walled. Butch, how are we going to get through a whole year without him?'
 Butch jumped up on the bed and did his doggy best to assure her that it could be done.
 Next morning, in the office, she was ashamed of having been such a fool. She greeted Paul with a cheerful smile. The flood is over" she said. From now on, it's stout heart, iron control, and bring on the gaiety."
 Paul grinned. He wasn't hand some, he had none of Bills dark good looks or the boyish charm. But when he smiled, like this, his plain, bony face became oddly charming.
 You call up Suzanne right away! The first thing to do is drive the blues out of the apart ment with a steak dinner, radio music, and loud talk"
 So at o'clock Suzanne drove up to the plant in her smart gray coupe. Martha and Paul squeezed in. They stopped at super market and bought quantities of food. In the kitchen, Martha don- ned an apron and Paul, appropriat- ing the only other one available began supervising production. He was sarcastic about the way Su- Zanne set the table, took over the task himself.
 Its simply not your line, Sue. "
 "Oh, isn't it? I'm very domestic, underneath"
 You make the coffee, Sue. Any one can make coffee. Just measure it right, add"
 Martha moved in between them then, laughing, ordered Paul into the living room. Suzanne said bit- terly, If I walked around with flour on my nose, I suppose he'd admit that I'm domestic"
 After dinner, they went out to movie. Martha hung back in the darkness of the aisle so that Suzanne could sit next to Paul. She thought triumphantly, I'm so tactful! I hope Sue appre- ciates it."
 But then, the figures on the screen became blurred. Having Paul and Suzanne for dinner had not chased the ghosts out of the apartment at all. It had simply reminded her of those other din ners, when Bill was home. She wondered, achingly, what her husband was doing now at that Reception Station. Was he lying somewhere on cot, in a tent perhaps? Was he thinking of her? It was she tried to look at her wristwatch, but it was too dark it must be 10:30. Did soldiers have to turn in early?
