Rubber And Tin

Someone seeing statement to the
effect that the United States would
have to do something about the
Dutch East Indies and the Malay is
lands and peninsula. asks what on
earth the American people care
about these lands on the opposite
side of the world. Suppose Japan
does gobble them up "Who cares?"
say many of our folks.
The United States uses about
100000 tons of rubber in year. and
would use far more if we became
involved in war. Five-sixths of it
comes from Malaga and the Dutch
East Indies. Where would our mo-
torized equipment be without that
rubber?
Then there is the supply of tin, of
which this country uses some $4,000
tons annually, and which is essen
tial in war and peace. Three-6tths
of the worlds supply comes from
Malay and the Dutch East Indies.
Our country does not want to go to
war for tin and rubber, but it is
absolutely necessary to have sup
ply of these essential materials.

Peak Prosperity

The American people have a per-
fectly enormous industrial capacity
and hence ability to provide univer-
sal welfare, if that capacity could
only be fully utilized. If business
could constantly run at the top
speed of which it is capable, there
should be a sale for all surplus
farm products, and it should be pos
sible to pay all costs Of government
including defense. without borrow
ing money.
The problem then is to help the
industries run regularly. and pro-
vide work for all or practically all
the people who are able to work.
The industries can't usually oper-
ate without orders for their goods.
Some of them making staple lines
may be able to stock up on regular
patterns in advance, but there is a
limit to such stocking up. After
they accumulate stocks Of certain
volume, they feel it too csstly to add
to these stocks.
The whole system depends upon
the ability of the people to buy
goods. Some say the way to solve
that problem is to raise everybody's
wages, so they would be able to buy.
That would advance prices and
cause business uncertainty, so that
the people would not probably be
able to buy any more.
Panics and business depressions
interfere with the regularity of pro-
duction. Panics are largely caused
by excessive speculation, which
forces prices of securities and COM
modities too high. When prices get
too high. people stop buying. and
factories shut down.
When people lose their money in
speculation, and when they fail to
pay what they owe. business suffers,
and many people lose their jobs.
The people should be willing that
business should earn enough profit
to make it worth while to do busi-
ness should earn enough profit to
make it worth while to do business,
and also to compensate the owners
of business for the risks they take
in carrying on business.

Unused Brains

A famous philosopher was quoted
as saying in a recent address that
there are more brains in America
than anywhere in the world, but they
are the least used.
Very many college professors and
school teachers, who feel that good
part of their students are not using
all the mental powers they have,
would agree with this authority.
They probably spend many days and
nights worrying over how they can
induce such young folks to put that
partly idle brain power to work.
The United States has had in the
past more prosperity than has been
attained elsewhere. The majority
of people of course have not been
wealthy, but conditions of living for
the average person have been easier
than in Europe or elsewhere. Hence
there is a temptation for people to
take things easy, and avoid great
effort, either of mind or body.
The American people are pleasure
loving. Where former generations
spent a good part OF their spare
time reading newspapers and books
under the evening lamp. there is
tendency now for people to avoid
activities that call for real thinking.
The housewives usually work hard,
and are often so tired that they do
not have the mental energy to pur-
sue any form of study that would
tax their brains. They can't be
blamed.
The schools do their best to in
duce the young people to use their
brain power. When the students |
get out from school, and see all the
pleasant things in the world that
take time and energy, many of them
let their brain power get rusty.
They may put that power to work
when it comes to thinking out ways
to make money. but they don't al
ways realize that the more people
know about what is going on in the
world, the more they impress the
world with their intelligence and
'ower. and the better their chances
ire for all-round success.

IN FREEDOM CAUSE

Referring to the plight of the lat
est victim of wanton aggression
among the nations of the world,
Booth Harrington, noted author, ex-
presses the thought of millions OF
liberty-loving Americans when he
declares that "the burning indigna-
ton of the world should not burn
itself out in mere words of sympa-
thy for the Greeks"
We have an opportunity to turn
the words into action by responding
to the Greek War Relief organiza-
tons nationwide appeal for funds
to be sent to Greece to be adminis-
tered there among the distressed
women and children and aged left
destitute by the brutal assault Of
Mussolini's forces, and also to sue
cor the wounded in the pitifully out
numbered but fiercely fighting army
of the embattled little homeland.
Only God knows the extent to
which the suffering will be increased
by Hitler's participation in the saw
age attack on historic, heroic Hellas
to whom civilization owes vertiably
its birthright.
Valiant aid to valiant people who
dared to remain free by resisting the
invader. 1t is urgently needed-now
.at once. Let the amount of your
contribution be governed by the size
of your purse. Where local commit
tees have not yet been formed, checks
may be sent direct to the Greek War

Uncle Sam Hesitates

How far should the president of
the United States be given power to
extend aid to England and various
democratic countries through lend
ing them weapons of war The
bill recently introduced in congress
makes sthis issue very vital.
The American people are in the
position of a traveller suffering
from severe storm who comessto a
fork of the road, and who knows not
which way to turn. If he takes the
wrong road he is lost, and if he sits
down and won't take either, he may
be frozen to death in winter wea-
ther.
The American people want to help
the democratic countries that are
trying to preserve freedom, but they
do not want to send any more
armies to Europe. Some of us fear
the more aid we give to Britain, the
more likely we are to be sending
armies over there. And some say
that If Britain falls, the dictator gov
ernments will combine the worlds
resources against America. Some of
us think we know the correct solu-
ton of these problems, but it will
take more than human wisdom to
foresee the future.

Wandering Children

1t is a very common thing to read
about some very young child who
has wandered away from home.
Some of these kidIets become anx-
ious to see the world at an early
age. Some of them fall into rivers
and ponds, or are hurt in dangerous
places. With evil men roaming
about, there is always the possibility
Of kidnapping.
One il the first things to be taught
a child is to know his name and the
place Of his residence, and to speak
it plainly. He should practice on
this lesson as soon as he is able to
talk. Then if he is found wandering
about the streets, and crying to be
taken home, people will be able to
get him back to the anxious par
ents.

Closer To wara

Is the United States drawing
closer and closer to war as the re-
suit Of the things it is doing to help
Britain? Some people are sure that
it is, and they would have the
United States stick to absolute neu-
trality, as the only means of avoid
ing that bloody whirlpool.
Adolf Hitler would no doubt like
to dominate the American continent,
and tell the countries of this henri
sphere what they can and can't do.
If the United States would adhere
to all his ideas. we should have no
trouble with him. Few Americans
would care thus to let him put his
foot on their necks.
The question whether he ever
makes an attack on this country
will depend mainly on whether he
feels that the United States has suf-
ficient force to resist him. II the
United States develops its defense
program with all possible speed, and
If England holds out, the chances Of
such attack are not. very great. Hit
Ter knows that if ne attacked the
United States. our government
would do many more things to aid
England, so that the chances of
attack are not probably increased by
the aid so far given Britain.
If Hitler wins the war, or if it is
a draw game, he will probably at
tempt to extend his power to South
and Central America, He may not
actually send troops or warships to
those countries, but he could accom-
plish the same result by inducing
those countries to submit to Nazi
governments. The United States has
to get ready to meet that threat.
AS public opinion in America
seems well agreed that no more arm
les should be sent to Eruope, the
danger of war does not seem very
imminent. provided only that Britain
holds out. If Britain falls, then
Uncle Sam should look out for some
thing to drop.

Majesty of The Heavens

The planet Mars is to make one
of its closest approaches to the
Earth next October 8 1t will be Is
years before it comes SO near us
again. Even then it will be $780,
300 miles from the Earth.
Our Earth seems like a very big
place when you think OF going
around it. But one Of our nearest
neighbors in the heavens is nearly
4O,OOO,OOO miles away. and the group
of planets revolving around our sun
are only one of the minor systems
in the infinity of the starry heavens.
So our Earth seems relatively about
as big as boys baseball. Man
seems only a speck in the vast
universe.
Yet though man seems such an
infinitesimal spech, he has accom-
plished marvels with his brain. He
reaches out to the uttermost parts
of the universe, and forms some
idea of the distance across these
vast spaces. He gets a pretty good
idea what these infinitely remote
suns are made of. He is not such
a little thing after all.
There is something calming about
the habit of star gazing. If our
personal troubles become too worri-
some. it helps some to go out and
look at those majestic stars swing
ing eternally in their orbits. If the
world seems almost hell with its
constant wars, we can look at those
stars, and feel that the infinite mind
that could conceive this system of
perfect order will not finally let all
human life prove to be valueless.
The steady march Of those stupen-
dous systems across the spangled |
sky suggests that all things yet in
heaven and earth will come out well.
1t was said of Napoleon Bonaparte
that someone in his presence ex-
pressed doubt that there was any
God. who made all those stars?"
said that great master of conquest.

Plain Side of Education

There is frequent complaint that
many students entering colleges are
lame in such plain subjects as
spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
Many students think it is not neces-
sary to spell and write well and use
correct language.
Attention to these details of
speech and writing is about like the
attitude of people toward their
clothes. The successful business
man may be careless about his dress,
and no one notices it. But if an
applicant for a job is so careless, it
is often considered an argument
against him. So a successful busi-
ness man may be able to spell poorly
and use incorrect grammar without
suffering business losses. If an ap-
plicant for an office job is thus care
less, his chances for employment
are not so good.
Milford chronicle., 1941-01-24
Pretty Girls Favored1

Some men, it is said, will give
generous tips in restaurants to pref
ty mattresses, while they may forget
to give anything when waited upon
by someone who has no special beau
ty. That seems hardly fair to the
plain girl, who laments her lack of
facial charm. and probably tries
doubly hard to make good in her
job.
There are some pretty girls who
become too conscious of their good
looks. and they feel they can make
good on this alone. That philosophy
does not get very far in the busi-
ness world. If the pretty girl gets
her accounts mixed up and can't
produce a clean typed letter, the
boss will not probably tolerate her
errors. Meanwhile If the plain girl
would study her style little more,
she might be able to make herself
more fascinating.

Town Unity

Our national leaders keep telling
us that we need the unity of the
nation to get through the present
war crisis safely and VIGOROUSLY.
That is absolutely true. We also
need unity in towns for a community
to go ahead. The progress of many
towns was hindered or stopped in
past years.. because people would
not pull together. Often there were
feuds between different elements or
leaders. If one bunch of people
took up some idea. some different
bunch often threw cold water and
remained aloof.
That kind of thing holds back the
progress of a town like a heavy
weight carried on the back of an ath-
lete. People of all elements should
sink their differences and all shout
for the home town and its good
Milford chronicle., 1941-01-24
Carrying Our Own Weight

Do you carry your own weight
along the roads of life and town
progress? Some people seem like
passengers who simply ride in car
for which someone else furnishes
the motive power. These dead
weight passengers contribute moth
ing to pull the town ahead.
OF course anyone who does good
work in his occupation helps his
home town, SO he can't be called
dead weight. But a person who
never does anything to help the
home causes of improvement and
business. or social and religious
progress, can be called a partial
dead weight. He is not carrying his
full weight. and he is asking his
neighbors and townspeople to do the
things that need to be done for the
development of his community.

Crash On Nassau Road

Clarence Vent, As years old, Of near

nesday afternoon when he fell on
an electric light wire after his car
knocked down a pole on the Nassau
Road, near the West Hill School.
Vent, a truck driver for Ralph
Reed of Milton, was driving a car
owned by his son, William Vent,
when it struck the pole, bringing
down-but failing to break-the wire
of the Kent and Sussex Rural Elec-
trification line.
He stepped out of the car and
hailed a passing motorist, Edward
Johnson of Harbeson, asking for aid.
The latter warned of the danger of
the wires, which he refused to cross.
Vent stepped back, tripped on the
wires, which touched his head and
leg. and was dead minute later.
Vent is survived by a wife, two

Opposed to Tipping Habit

FROSSA " tipping 1dOlI
Objection to the tipping system in
restaurants, hotels and elsewhere
was expressed at the recent meeting
in Chicago of the American Associa-
tion for Labor Legislation. 1t was
called an undesirable system for
paying wage-earners. since earnings
from this source are uncertain.
The public does not generally like
the tipping idea. People feel em-
barrassed, because they don't know
what tip they ought to pay, or if
they ought to pay any. When efforts
are made to abolish the plan, many
people keep on tipping. Probably it
has some effect to keep workers
hustling, as they know the slow
worker will get few fees.
