he said, was equally important to
labor, inasmuch as instances are

Weisenberger suggested that, thus
far, the labor situation as well as
the manufacturers situation, had

acuteness was steadily developing
and might become dangerous unless

As the first incident involving an
American-owned ship since the

The absence until the Pink Star
sinking of any reported seawar op-
erations in the defensive waters
indicated by Mr. Roosevelt led some
legislators here to believe that Axis

out of those sections of the ocean

American warships. This view wa,
predicated on the theory that the

The N. A. M. executive said the

added, this plight now was consid-

A Thought for Today
Wallace Nutting

Connecticut will mourn the death ot Wallace Nutting, the distinguished author, illustrator, and antiquarian. Most of us knew him through his beautifully illustrated books - most of them pictorial presentations of the American country side. He has also issued number of S1rn- liar books dealing with sections of Europe. His travels were extensive and he was keen observer at all times. But better than that he could transfer to the printed page and to the illustration much which the average eye might miss or overlook.
 His original vocation was the ministry, but ill health drove him outdoors. That was at the beginning of this century. Then began page of his life-story which has no parallel His ramblings over New England countrysides probably laid the foundation for his knowledge of antiques. At his death it is doubtful if there was an antiquarian in this country with the general fund of knowledge concerning this activity to compare with that ot Wallace Nutting.
 He was not a young man when he abandoned the ministry for pursuits which would be best adapted to his state of health. But certainly the latter thirty five years of his life were as busy as any one man could experience. The name Nutting came to be byword at one time in pictorial illustration. No house could be without its Nutting on the wall Of late years, perhaps, this run has not been so evident, but nevertheless, his reputa- ton and his work were of the same dis tinctive calibre to the end.

ity spheres" or setting up of a new or der," or taking over the duty of pro tecting," or simply coordination" All such phrases are less accurate as well as less honest than old-fashioned terri torial expansion. The distinction in fact is without measurable difference.
 If one were to try to measure that slight difference, it would lie in rub ping in the wound of unjustifiable ag- gression the salt of mealy-mouthed ly- ing hypocrisy. Wherein lies the diff ference between 18th century territorial expansion and 20th century thew ors ders''? Only in this: In the former time, even in the most imperialistic countries men remained free enough so that a few could still rebel and protest and call the spade damned shovel. But in to- days aggreSsor countries not only is no man free to protest, but the effort is made to smother protest even in coun- tries yet free under an avalanche of words which have lost their meanings.

An OId-Fashioned Phrase

The Japanese minister to Australia must, somewhere, have received thor ough education in the curious mental processes that pass from thinking in Nazidom. Queried on Japanese ambi- tiOnS, TatSuo Kawai replied that he disliked the word "drive" which Ameri- cans persisted in applying to that i'm petuS which has sent the Japanese legionS into Manchuria, North China, Coastal China, and Indo-China. That word, so popular with Americans, isn't applicable to the Japanese situation, he said Fur kher, he was slightly annoped by ques- ton as to whether Japan contemplated Territorial expansion" toward the Neth- srlands Indies, Territorial expansion" k an old-fashioned phrase, he objected.
 Well, so it is. It has, at least, the vir- tue of being clear and well understood. In the 18th century, when every major nation in the world was grabbing off svery bit of weakly defended territory it eouid find lying around loose, everybody knew what territorial expansion meant. It meant that somebody's real estate had been grabbed by somebody stronger, and hat Thereafter 1t belonged to the win per. That was that It was crude business. and it was crude phrase that Nas used to describe it. But it had at least certain straightforward hon. asty.
