Government
Holding Down
Rents And Prices

WASHINGTON, July 30-Price
Administrator Henderson reported
Government controls of prices and
rents, where they are in effect, are
doing good job of holding down
prices, but uncontrolled food prices
are showing a definite inflationary
tendency" He said "the total cost
of food to city families advanced by
13 percent between May Is and
June Is, continuing the steady up
ward price trend of the Previous IA
months and cffsetting the benefits
of price control on all foodstuffs
covered by the general regulation. )"
Mr.. Henderson said housewives
and other members of the buying
public will acquire the legal right,
beginning July 81, to bring civil
suits for damages against any store
keeper who charges more than OPA
regulations permit.
The purchaser is entitled to ne
cover $50 in damages plus attorneys
fees or triple the amount of the
overcharge plus attorneys fees,
whichever is larger.
Similar suits may be filed in de-
tense rental areas against landlords
who collect rents above those per-
mitted by OPA orders The office
reported it has designated 370 areas
as defense. rental areas and by
August rent regulations will be-
come effective in "a of these areas.

WASHINGTON, July 3O-Presi-
dent Roosevelt reported the recent
scrap rubber collection drive added
454, 900 tons to the Governments
stockpile-eXclusive of rubber in
small piles still at service stations
and junk dealers.
WPB Chairman Nelson asked
state and local Governments to lend
their trucks and workers to local
salvage committees to help trans
port scrap material collections be-
fore winter sets in.
The WPB extended the tin can
salvage program to 104 cities in ad-
dition to 36 metropolitan areas pre-
viouSly announced, because de-tin-
ming plant capacity requirements
have been increased from $50 900 to
100000 tons. The Board said the
Government will requisition from
junk dealers all useless automobiles
those that cannot be repaired on
practical basis-to maintain the
present peak movement of automo-
bile scrap to mills.

Between The
Book Ends
(OWEN FARRELL CLARK,

In these days when so many of
us are interested in the history of
our country and the ideals for
which so many of our soldiers must
give ''The last full measure Of de-
votion" we must not think of neg
lecting our literature and its history.
Every American is aware that New
England has played a great part in
our national literature and the
shaping of our present ideals.
To many of us who live in other
sections of the country New Eng
land seems not unlike some strange
land of yesterday. Landmarks
seem vaguely familiar to us and we
realize that our travels through this
section have brought to life all those
illustrations of our history books.
A close reading of Van Wyck
Brooks literary history of New
England brings to life the old New
England even more than an actual
visit can do The first of the vol
umes, THE PIONEERING OF NEW
ENGLAND, traces the lives and
accomplishments of such figures as
Bryant, Emerson, Lowell. Longfel-
low, Thoreau, and Holmes. Men
and movements converge into a
splendid picture Of golden New
was the cultural hub of the Arneri-
England in those days when Boston
was the cultural hub of the Ameri-
can wheel. After the Civil War,
however, the South, the Middle
West, and the far West began to
produce writer's who were interested
primarily in the American scene
and the old world influence began
to fade. Not only that but the
Longfellows and Whittiers were
growing old and their zest for new
causes was slipping away. Chattel
slavery was an evil Of the past but
economic slavery was the new evil
of the present.
In the second volume, NEW
ENGLAND INDIAN SUMMER, new
literary figures such as William
Dean Howells, Henry James, Fran
els Parkman, Thomas Bailey Al
drich, and Emily Dickinson add a
last glow to a great literary scene.

Nine Army Corps
Areas Reorganized

WASHINGTON, July 80 - The
nine Army Corps Areas have been
reorganized and renamed service
commands" The reorganization
will further decentralize the opera
tions of services of supply activity

War Secretary Stimson said $4,000
jaundice cases developed among
Army personnel in the U. S. and
abroad between January l and July

change in the form of the yellow

Guns Increasing

WASHINGTON, July 30-The U

ships, guns and ammunition during
June was nearly three times that OF
last November, the month before
Pearl Harbor, War Production
Chairman Nelson reported. Mr..
Nelson stated, however, too much
boasting about production progress
is altogether premature-the biggest
part of the job is still ahead" Any
letup now, he said, would mean
years more of war and hundreds of
thousands more lives"
Chairman Nelson, as an index of
the Nations productive effort, eSti-
mated that approximately 36 per
cent of the U. SIS record breaking
income during the first six months
of this year went into military
channels. This compares, he said,
to- the SO to rs percent of total in

While the time may not be ripe for any
detailed statement of peace aims, when
that time does come, the Allies must be
ready to adiudicate their own conflict

and work in an honorable world.
After a total war that involves the
whole earth, narrow selfish national
ism is outmoded and impossible of sur
vival The United States is no excep-
tion to this limitation. Economic as well
as political considerations preclude isola-
tiOn.
Asia for Asiatics Europe for Europ-
cans, America for Americans, can no
more be held tenabe than the absurd
claim (Which no sane person would think
of demanding) of California for Califor
mans, or Missouri for MiSsourianS.

Quite the contrary. Nationalism should

Economic conflicts grow from fears

BAD NEWS COMING

Secretary of Navy Frank Knox was
most probably telling the whole truth
when he warned the American people last
weekend that grim news might be antlc-
ipated from the Solomon islands theater
of war.
Of one thing you may be sure, however.
The grimmest newS-short OF complete
loss of the Solomons, which could not be
suppressed-will not be made public for
many weeks. And probably that is as 1t
should be.
Withholding news of an active engage
ment, such as that on Guadalcanal, dur
ing the duration of the battle, is entirely
different from withholding complete de-
tails of a past action when the enemy
already knows it-as was the case in the
American bomber raid on Tokyo.
In Guadalcanal, the Japs may guess
how much damage they have inflicted on
the defending forces, but they have no
way of knowing to certainty. If they
did know, they would be guided much
more efficiently in directing their attacks
and disposing their forces. So the de-
tailed knowledge must be withheld from
the whole world so that the enemy will
not know.
For the present, we must admit to our
selves that we are probably suffering
grave and inescapable losses, and that we
cannot expect to know for some time Just
how grave they are. If they result IN
turning back the Jap drive to re-take
Guadalcanal, they will be justified.
That should be enough.

A GOOD MAN WHO HAS
DONE A GOOD JOB

Too MANY of CALIFORNIA; state depart
ments in the hast few years have squan-
dered money and accomplished little be-
cause of inefficient politically INSPIRED
management. In view Of that record, 1t
is refreshing to find one which has oper-
ated exceedingly well, and the voters
owe it to the head of that department
to return him to office.
Paul Peek is the man in question. He is
secretary of state, and seeks to continue
in office by virtue of election Nov. 3. We
believe he is entitled to election, because
of his record and his character.
Peek became secretary of state in 1910,
upon the death of veteran Frank c. Jor-
dan.
One thing alone should be sufficient
recommendation for Mr.. Peek. Expenses
of his office have been reduced IL per
cent in the last fiscal year, without I'M
pairing the efficiency of the office, nor
reducing the service it has performed for
the people.
Peek is a thoroughly experienced man,
and has all the qualifications his office
demands. He is an attorney fact wor-
thy of consideration because the secre-
tary of state deals much in legal matters.
Before assuming his office, he was
member-and speaker-of the state as
sembly, so that he has a good knowledge
of legislative procedure and thorough
respect for the rights of the state legis-
lature. Too few California officials have
demonstrated such respect in recent
years.
Peek's opponent has little in the way
of past history to recommend him, and
is even open to the charge of attempting
to gain office on the strength of similar
ity between his name and that of the
previous incumbent. 1t has never been
the American way to consider any public
office a family possession.
Peek's record entities him to election
as secretary of state for California.
