it. But it is a tough job to win over
someone who disagrees with you
if you begin by calling him either
a fool or traitor.
There are two grave dangers in
this growing bitterness. One is that
it greatly impairs the national uni
ty we need so badly for our de-
Tense effort. The other is that 1t
breeds the kind of unthinking n.y.
sierra which in the first World War
resulted in disgraceful persecution
Of many patriotic Americans mere
ly because they happened to be of
German descent. None Of us wants
a repetition of that sort Of thing,
and urge most earnestly that
all of us maintain on this issue that
tolerance of an opposing viewpoint
which Is fundamental to our de-
mocracy.
There is a general feeling here in
Washington that President Roose-
welt, in his speech Of the 10Th, was
talking as much to Europe and
Asia as to the United States. He
was telling the Axis powers and
Japan, in effect that we are not
bluffing and will not be bluffed by
them.
Three statements in the Presi-
dents address are regarded here as
especially significant in relation to
our own defense production effort.
One was his warning that govern
ment expects employers and en-
ployes to adjust their differences
without stopping production. Re-
ports here are that Mr.. Roosevelt
meant every word of that para
graph and is prepared to act If his
warning is not needed.
A second paragraph was the one
in which he told industries that
fears of the effect Of excess pro-
duction capacity after the emer-
gency cannot be permitted to block
building of new plants where need
ed to remove bottlenecks, such as
that in armor plate.
A third paragraph which found
much favor in Congress was the
one where he stated that the por-
ton of our defense production
which would go abroad" should he

| our defense experts on the basis Of

"War mongers" is one of the
kinder terms used by the isolation
lists in referring to those who be-
lieve aid to Britain is vital to our
own defense. A senator on the 9TH
err side went just as far afield the
other day when he referred to the
isolationists as TRAITORS" Even
President Roosevelt in his address
a week ago Sunday referred to
those opposing further aid to Brit
ain as unwilling tools of the Nazis.
I thought that was an unfortunate
remark in what was otherwise a
powerful and courageous address.
/ know from my own mail that
many sincere persons in Minnesota
are still unconvinced Of the logic
of aid to Britain in the interests
of our own defense. The President
could convince many of them by
giving them the facts on our mill

Building Boom
Not Here YET;
Miller Declares
Sees Peak Sometime
Next Year; Urges
Buyers to Act Now

Detroit building has not yet at
tanned boom proportions, George
W. Miller. president of Miller
Homes, declared last week at the
annual banquet of his organiza-
ton attended by more than 200
persons.
Miller took issue with those who
claim the community is experience
ing a building boom right now and
that this boom will be short lived,
with the assertion that it was
false ballyhoo."
TT Is my belief that the boom
Is only in the making and that
building will not reach boom
proportions until some time In
1912" Miller declared.
Avert Price Raise
The speaker pointed out that
while there is a housing shortage
in this area. the building industry
in Detroit is well equipped to keep
pace with the demand. He also
warned prospective home buyers
~ Pui NhoSC INV W avert SOdilnB
prices.
I'VE told prospective buyers
last year that building material
costs would rise and they did
not believe u.s." Miller said.
Costs Already Up
I'VE have already had in
creases in costs and more are ia
come. In the prospective home
buyer desires to build and own
n homo at the lowest cost. we
must act promptly, for while
the building industry In Detroit
has maintained prices lower than
almost anywhere else In the
United States, prices must be
Increased II material and labor
costs continue to rise"
The banquet signaled the close
OF the Miller sales school and
the awarding of master-builder
statesmen diplomas to $50 members
of the sales organizations.

secrecy and the other holding
a piled-up plate.
Joe put the plate down
softly on the little table be-
tween Pas bed and the win
dow, patted Pas cheek again,
and went out guiltily, still
walking on his toes.
Pa muff1ed his mouth in the
pillow, wept a little, and
slept.
The gnawing walked him.
He lay very still, trying to
imagine where the sound was
coming from. 1t seemed to be
right at his ear.
He smelled food, too. which
was stranger still, for Annie
never permitted him to bring
food into his bedroom.
He thought very hard, and
the nights events came back
to him. Annie telling him he
couldn't have a bird, and Joe
sneaking in with a plate of
food.
Suddenly, Pa was filled with
excitement. There was a
mouse in the room. He
wanted to burst into crazy

Daily Short Story

1t was on one of his bleak
walks with his pipe hanging
cold and slack in his mouth,
that Pa decided to ask Annie
if he could keep a pet.
Pa knew that Annie would
never consent to a pet that
would frisk and play. but
perhaps she would let him
keep a bird.
A bird in a cage could not
get in her way. And even
bird in a cage would be some
thing alive that had to be
cared for.
He could fondle it in his
hand, he could listen to it
sing, he could talk aloud to
it and give it name.
Annie would not let Pa keep
a bird. She said that bird
belonged outdoors along with
all animal and insect life.
She made Pa feel that to
cage a bird was a barbarism
that he alone, in his diabolic
old age, had thought of.
Pa retired to his room and
went to bed without supper.
Annie said he was stubborn,
but Joe took his temperature
and safrePtitieasly- patted- his
cheek.
Later that evening Pa heard
some one tiptoeing about the
kitchen. Presently the door
swung open, and the light re-
vealed Joe in the doorway
with one hand motioning for

STRUGGLES FOOD

Bits of smuggled food, pea
nuts, and candy, even a bright
marble were the lures that
won Oscars complete sur
render.
And Pa was having the
time of his life. 1t made his
drawn-out days have meaning.
They were a prelude to the
moonlight hours of night.
Pa thought that Oscar was
very intelligent. And so he
was. 1t was Pa who, having
found an interest in life, over
taxed his endurance.
Not until dawn did he carry
Oscar back to his hole. At
8 he. struggled awake again,
for Annie could not abide
folks who slept beyond
decent hour. All day Pa was
sleepy and tired.
The climax came when
kindly neighbor brought Pa to
Annie. He had tainted in
front of the neighbor's house.
Pa protested that he felt
fine, but his legs began to
buckle even as he spoke, and
his forehead was fire under
Annie's hand.
Annie hustled him off TO
undress. AS soon as she left
the room, Pa dragged himself
to Oscars hole and pulled out
the rag. He knew that once
he was in bed he would not
have strength to rise again
before morning.
He trusted Oscars intelli-
gence to keep him away until
the house had quoted for the
night.
Intelligent Oscar did not
come until the accustomed
hour. He seampered up onto
the table, and Pa would have
sworn that he looked sur
prised.
For Annie had to feed Pa
herself, when Pas trembling
hands could not hold the fork.
And Annie had scrupulouSly
brushed away each crumb.
This was not the worst.
however. Despite Pas cajol-
ing. Annie had left his door
open, half hoping he would
call out in the night and add

Pa did call out. II was
when the faithless Oscar
