In Majesty, in Justice, in Peace

Winston Churchill has now brought in- to the very highest circles the discussion ot what are to be the relations between the British Empire and the United States after this war shall have been won. The discussion has been going on for many months, and every kind of proposal has been made from that of a simple military alliance to that of a federal union of the two countries such as to include con- mon currency, complete free trade area, and virtual common government except in purely domestic affairs. The fact that Japan's mad act has put America square ly in the war has given touch of reality to this discuSSlOn-it has removed it from sphere in which it seemed largely theo retical to one in which it is an urgent problem requiring solution.
 The grim necessities of war are going to bring certain joint activities never be- fore undertaken The United States has been steadily drawing closer to Canada, even before we plunged into the war, and even now certain oarlff barriers are being broken down which years of peaceful ef- fort could not eliminate That peace must be organized after this war in such a way as to be working system and not pous hope, is something on which every citizen of the free countries now in the war will agree. There are many plans for such system and which will emerge after the war it is not possible to judge. Churchills phrase was a mere hint and suggestion rather than a plan, when he said that the British and American people will flor their own safety and the good of all, walk together in majesty, in justice, and III peace"
 That does not imply by any means, that they will walk alone. There are other partners in this war; Russia, and China, the Netherlands, Norway and a dozen others. Certainly it is desirable that all walk together, for it is only if all the peo- ples of the world actuated by goodwill and a love of freedom walk together that there can be justice and peace. Every thought given to this future is valuable thought, for while all energy and action must now be devoted to winning the war so that the future may be brought into being, it is also necessary to have some idea (and the more good ideas the better) of what that future is to be-

Otis Skinner

Otis Skinner's career on the stage was one of distinction. Sixty years Of the eighty-three that he lived were spent in his chosen profession, which he singularly honored in honest and thoughtful inter pretation of the many roles that he played MT. Skinner had to his credit many Shakespearean roles. Also he acted in a long series of plays, from "Uncle Toms Cabin" to "Kismet."
 Otis Skinner's is a name that will long be remembered in the theater He ap- peared with such great people of the stage as Edwin Booth, Helen ModJeska, and a long list of contemporaries who became equally prominent in the theater. Many will recall "Kismet" which on first thought seems fairly recent, but when traced back actually was produced as long ago as 1911 "Kismet" in it's day was the play of the day.
 The late actor has always held a very high place in the profession of his choice. He approached it with seriousness and dignity His diction was notable; he had flair for romantic roles, but could likewise interpret tragic roles He spent consider able of his early years in Hartford. Latter ly he made his home in Vermont where he chose to be buried.
 Otis Skinner made a brief incurslon into the movies, doing his popular stage success "Kismet," in 1880. He was con- sidered one of the ablest writers about matters pertaining to the theater He lived to a good age, most of his adult years spent in the one profession, to which he was credit.

Where Do They Go From Here?

Adequate provision should be made for the protection of the thousands of men and women who may be left jobless once the governments ban on automobile sales has taken effect. A good many salesmen have already given up their positions in hopes of catching on with some defense industry. But there are still great many who are hopeful that perhaps their pres ent source of livelihood won't be snatched from them.
 The outlook, based on the news from Washington, isn't too encouraging. There is every indication that present supplies of new cars, if allowed to be sold at all, will be snatched up pretty quickly and it won't take much sales appeal to get rid of them. After that we suppose the car deal- CT is just another unemployed unless he has sideline on which he can fall back It does seem as if the government would have to gear it's war machinery to recog- nize the just claim of those deprived of their jobs by war to consideration in other directions
 We have read that there are officials who feel such steps must be taken by the federal government. But until such time do ClIClC 10 dll dCCue'l plaIHlS oA liloli oiie' women, forced out of their jobs by the government ban, in new ones we'll have to remain bit sceptical Our war ma chinery is rapidly being geared higher and higher. There may be no room very shortly for anybody who isn't engaged ac- lively in war production. And when that time comes lot of us are going to be forced to the sidelines for indefinite periods.
 Within all of Washington's official ma chinery there should be one cog left to keep the wheels of private enterprise re- volving, perhaps producing little, but cer- tainly keeping the machinery from rust ing, until such time as normal occupa- tions can be resumed and peace reigns round the earth.

The Freedom of the Wheeze

One of the jokes that killed vaudeville was the one about how married men don | really live longer than single men-it just seems longer. It wasn't very good joke at best, and now comes the awful reVela- tion that it wasn't even true. A large life insurance firm has just completed study which demonstrates that married men actually DO live longer They are also less likely to commit suicide, drink themselves to death, and get themselves killed in ac- cidentS.
 The statisticians came to the con- clusion that the favorable balance toward longevity came from living "a normal family life" which anybody could have told them anyway. Little by little science is creeping up on common folk knowl- edge, and one of these days we'll have a chapter and book for every one ot those little trngs grandma knew So well with out Eatistic to guide her.

Congress will shortly pull the curtains across play that has been going on within it's stage for the past fifteen years. If you can remember back to February l, 1926, you may recall that it was then that the late Brigadier General William Billy" Mitchell resigned his military of flee rather than accept Swear suspen- sion from his rank. The War Department, it was unofficially announced the other day, is willing now to throw out it's case against Gen. Mitchell and restore his name to the officials rolls of the Army. Hot and heavy was the debate over MtchelPs demands on Army officials back in the ''20's" to pay more heed to the use of airplanes as a necessary ad- junct of any armed forces in the event of war. Right after the World War Gen. Mitchell started his one-man crusade for expansion of air service in the Army. Were he alive today he'd certainly see his dream come true, for the airplane does everything he said it would 25 years ago fight, bomb, transport troops, scout, etc.

We'll, it's ho for the boot and saddle if you're figuring on doing much travel in the next year or so At least that's what it looks like at this writing and there are some astute businessmen who think it might not be bad idea now to stock up on horseflesh In another few months all the available horses are expected to be grabbed up by dealers who anticipate a chance to make few dollars in shreWd horse trades. And they may have the sit uation figured out correctly, although we have an idea that conditions will never get so bad that there'n be general use of horses for transportation purposes around these parts. But there may be some and if so it ought to give the youngsters who never saw horse and wagon quite a thrill

the other is as dull as the scared and denuded hills of a wilderness.
 Goodness comes in many grades. There is a dark and drao goodness, carbon variety with no light In it. This is the goodness of men who re.y only upon their own efforts and trust only in their own fidelity. But there is also a type of goodness which sparkles like diamonds. This shines from the heart of a man upon whose many-sided personality shines light from the dwelling place of God. There is something very drab about the man who is normally and spiritually self-made. Brilliance sparkle, luster, are found only in those lives that keep C.ose to God and reflect the divine light.
 A diamond is just piece of car bon which has been raised to heights of spler dor. Jesus Christ did not come into the world just to make men better, but to transform them-to change our carbonlike lives, good though they may be, into diamonds which sparkle in His hands of love.

Real inside story on this, how ever, can now be told, namely that as early as last spring, Head G-Man Hoover urged that he be permitted to arrest, or at least oust from the Hawaiian islands the 250 Japanese consular agents operating there.
 Hoover argued that Japan didn't need 250 consular agents in little place like Hawaii in the first place. Ir the second place he produced concrete evidence that at least one of them had tried to get information on U. s. fleet movements.
 General Shorj, in command at Hawaii, since removed, objected to Hoover's plan. He said it would cause too much commotion. Never theleSs, Hoover persisted. took the matter over General Shorts head to Washington. Secretary of War Stimson supported General Short and nothing was done.
 After Pearl Harbor, the Jap anese consulate was taken over and it's papers searched. Among them was found code of sig nals by lights; so many lights would show that the U. s. de- strOyers had left Pearl Harb0r; So many lights would indicate that the battleships had left; another light arrangement would signal that the destroyers had returned. and so on. This code completely corrOborated Hoov- CTS contention that the Japan csc consular agents were the handspring of Japanese espion- age.
 NOTE - Hoover actually caught two Japanese spies red handed in the United States, but was forced by the State Department to send them back to Tokyo instead of placing them on trial One was

a full Japanese naval captain caught with U. s. naval docu- ments in his possession, and in- dicted on Hoover's evidence. The other was a Japanese language student attached to the Japanese embassy who was caught among the 37 Axis spies who were in- dicted in New York through Hoover's efforts. However, the State Department ordered his inn mediate release. His name was not even released to the news papers.
 NO.. l WAR BOTTLENECK
 On the surface, most important results of the Churchill Roosevelt conversations were plans for war strategy in the South Pacific and Russia, plus formal declarations for future cooperation. Behind the scenes, however, almost equally important was some tough talk ing which Lord Beaverbrook did about the slowness of American industrial production.
 Beaverbrook's lecture has now lead to concrete plans for strict government supervision of the most vital defense bot.leneck-th machine tool industry.
 The Machine Tool section of OPM has prepared a report show ing that not more than $1,250,- G00,000 of new machine tools will be produced in 1924, whereas the war effort will require at least $2,350, 100000 of them. Unless this amount is made available" the OPM report states,"we may expect the arms production to be dangerously inadequate until mid 1943 or into 1914"
 The Army Navy Munitions Board also estimates that Ger many now has under it's control (not counting Japan) at least 100000 machine tools less than 9 years old; While this country has only 520,000 less than 10 years old. Furthermore, German tools were built for war purposes, most of our for peacetime.
 SLOW ROLLS ROYCE
 To emphasize what lack of ma chine tools las meant, it can be pointed out that the famous Rolls Royce airplane motors which Packard contracted to build in the spring of l340 have only been de- livered to the extent of about HOO engines. And it is now 1942.
 These are the motors which Henry Ford refused to manufac- ture at the time of the fall of France, because they were British. Later Packard agreed to make them, but waited several weeks to see what the new tax bill passed by Congress was going to be. This caused part of the delay. Also the fact that the motors were Bri- tish slowed things up somewhat, for the Army and Navy Munitions Board has given higher raw ma terials pri0r.ties to American en- zines.
 However, the really big reason
 Packard's delay was lack of ma
 chine tools. It simply has not
 been able to tool up it's plant
 even though eighteen months
 have passed since the fall of
 France and the placing of the
 contract.
 Another illustration of how bad- ly machine tools are needed is that Charles Sorenson of Ford until recently, had been yelling att he OPM for weeks trying to get 229 machine tools to go into pro- duction of a Pratt-Whitney en- zine for medium bombers. Sor- enson used to be able to call up

Warner and SWasey in Cleveland On Friday and have a machine tool costing s60,000 delivered on his uock at the River Rouge, Mich, by Monday morning. But today it's different story.
 That is why the OPM report recommends the the following measures to remedy bottleneck No. of war production.
 l. Machine tools, like man. power should be registered.
 2. A government Machine Tools Board would assig ntools for most effective use.
 3. Tools and arms plants must go on 163 hour week every hour and every day of the week.
 4. A new program to train la Dor to manufacture machine tools.
 STRANGE DOINGS
 Some things happening in Washington il the name of de- fense just don't make sense.
 The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Rural Elec- trification Administration are two permanent Government agencies making real contribution to the conduct of the war. Hardly day goes by that the SEC is not called on for otherwise unObtainable corporate and financial data for placing of war orders. In many other ways it is assisting the war program.
 Tn addition to constantly fur nishing crack power engineers to various war agencies, the REA is operating and building many pow CT plants for Army, Navy and Ma rine camps, and war industries.
 Also the two agencies are among the most outstanding New Deal achievements. created only after long and bitter bat ties that made political and legislative history in the 1930's. Time and again the President has proudly acclaimed the SEC and REA as two of the greatest reforms of his administration Yet, under an order cooked up by undercover pro-utility ele- ments in the Budget Bureau, SEC and REA will be moved kit and kaboodle hundreds of miles away from Washington, Philadelphia St. Louis.
 While their utility lobby foes will have free rein to snipe at them on Capitol hill, and while the War and Navy Departments, OPM and ether war agencies will be seriously nampered in obtain ing the valuable services of SEC
