that much Of the burden will have to
be assumed by the commercial banks,
and in order to do their share the
banks will have to modify long
established rules of sound finance.
The proportion Of capital to liabili-
ties will have to be reduced, and
normally unwarranted risks will
have to be taken. Assurances have
been given that this will not bring
trouble with bank examiners, the
Federal authorities presumably act
ing on the assumption that this con-
templated risk is less than that which
would result to the economic struc-
ture from a failure OF the Treasury's
program.
In these circumstances it is to be
hoped that all banks-and all other
investors-will participate fully, for
success in this instance is vitality i'm

The Aluminium Case

The end presumably has been
written to the Justice Departments
attempt to break up the Aluminium
Company of America, with the an
nouncement that four members OF
the Supreme Court have disqualified
themselves from passing on the Gov
eminent appeal from district court
decision absolving the corporation
of monopoly charges. This makes it
impossible for the statutory quorum
of six justices to hear the litiga ton,
and the lower court ruling, conse-
quently, remains in effect.
Members Of the Supreme Court
not infrequently withdraw from
cases because of some personal con-
nection, but it is unusual for SO
many to find it necessary to do this.
In this instance, Justices Murphy
and Jackson occupied the office Of
Attorney General, and Justice Reed
that of Solicitor General, while the
suit was pending, and could not, Of
course, step from the role of prose-
cutor to that of judge. No reason
was assigned for Chief Justice Stones
disqualification.
This turn of affairs emphasizes an
undesirable aspect of the practice of
choosing justices from the ranks Of
Government prosecutors. 1t is not
to be contended that service in the
Justice Department automatically
should constitute a barrier to APP
pointment to the Supreme Court,
but when selections consistently are
made from this source. and APP
poirtees are unable to sit in cases
to which the Government is party,
it is evident that there is interfer-
ence with the rights of litigants.
The further fact that the Govern
ment. by reason of its ever expand
ing scope, is increasingly involved in
important litigation, is another argu-
ment against too many appoint
ments of this nature. r.'.+
At the last term OF court, in an
other important case, the same stu
alton was presented, and for while
1t seemed that quorum would not be
available to decide the Government
appeal in a suit to recover some
$100,000,000 from the Bethlehem
Steel Corp, claimed as overpayment
on ship contracts in the First World
War. Eventually, however, Justice
Murphy, who had disqualified him
self at the outset, reconsidered and
sat on the case The ruling was
against the Government.
The aluminium case, a civil pro-
ceeding under the Sherman Act. was
directed against the Aluminium Com
pany, and about sixty corporate and
individual defendants whom the
Government charged with monopo-
listic practices in the production and
sale of aluminium. In denying the
petition for dissolution after the
longest trial in history-twenty- six
months-Federal Judge Francis G.
Caffey of the Southern District of
New York, said the allegations we're
groundless and there is no warrant
in fact or in law for diSsolving or
enjoining Alcoa."

War Financing

During the month of December
the Treasury Department will under
take to raise $4,000 900 900 through a
Victory Fund drive marking an in
itial phase of its war financing pro-
gram. And it is not too much to say
that the future economic stability Of
the country hinges on the extent to
which the campaign is successful
along the lines laid down by the
Treasury.
It is of first Importance that as
much as possible of this revenue
the greatest single piece of financing
ever attempted-be raised through
the sale of securities outside the
banking system. To this end, the
American Bankers Association is en-
listing the support of its more than
$4,000 members in a Nationwide
effort to reach all prospective Gus
toners. Included among those to
whom appeals will be made are in
dividual investors who might pur-
chase securities of the type offered;
counties, school funds, pension and
other sinking funds; cities, towns and
villages: school districts, endowed
institutions. universities. colleges,
hospitals and religious institutions;
insurance companies, labor, service
and fraternal organizations. and any
corporations which may have cash
available that cannot be used for the
present in the normal course Of
business.

Industry Is Its Own Reward
How doth the little busy bee i'm.

How doth the little busy bee i'm
prove each shining hour
And gather honey all the day from
every opening flower"
And how, one might echo the poet
Watts. The bee is a totalitarian, pure
and simple. 1t obeys the orders Of
the hive, without fretting its mind,
if any, over the inequities of sys-
tenn that keeps it toiling continu-
ously, only to have most of the
fruits of it's work taken by its
masters.
AS a reward, millions of bees are
being given free transportation to
the sunny South for the winter.
Whole hives are being packed and
shipped there by rail. The reward,
however, is not for virtue, but solely
for industry. They do not go to
Miami to catch fish, play the races
or bask lazily on warm beaches, Oh,
no-they 60 South for more work,
because there are opening flowers
there instead Of the frozen twigs of
the North. The war has created a
demand for honey as a sugar sub
stitute, and wax for explosives and
military preservatives. Nobody but
bees can make these; therefore they
must give up their long winter sleep
and get out and hustle for victory.
This is waxy world, and they must
do their part.

through terrible experience came to see
me recently. He was deeply moved by
the tragic happenings through which he
had passed. There was in his recital no
evidence of regret that he had been sub
jected to desperately trying experience.
On the contrary, he betrayed confidence
and a deepened faith that he affirmed
had taken on a new meaning to him. He
was eager to return to his tasks and to do
so with the conviction that he was
stronger and more fit fc~ anything that
might befall him, because he had come
to know, as never before, what trust IN
God really meant when the hour OF
testing came There was note OF
buoyancy and hope in all he said. Life
to him had larger, fuller meaning
There was something new in it. He was
enlisted in a great cause, and he was
prepared to give all that he had, with
out fear Of what might be impending
AS he left me, felt more deeply than
ever before life's meaning, and under
stood more fully its larger purpose. Ut
ter reliance upon God and belief in
prayer, these were very real to one who
had faced death and who was ready to
face it again. It is this spirit in our
servicemen that must be reflected in
the life of our people here at home, 1t
was H. G. Wells who wrote out of the
tragedies Of the First World War: Our
SONS have shown us Cod" Here is
common faith and trust that emphasizes
the true unity of cur life. Here is the
sustaining power that can make us
strong and uncomfortable.
1t is true of all of us that out of emer-
gencies that test faith, we rediscover
how large place it occupies in the daily
concerns of life Out of weakness were
made strong" was the assurance of one

lived courageously and died in expec-
tation OF attaining life's highest full
fillment.

reason for confidence in their military
leadership.
Gen Marshall, as one of his first acts
in starting to build the new American
Army, set about wedding out older and
incompetent officers. He did this quietly
and in a manner that did not excite
political opposition. Gen. Marshall then
brought to the top young men, without
pull or favoritisn. who justified his con-
fidence in the successful African opera
ton.
The Navy has been slower to adjust
its war command. A naval officer HER
archy had been built up in peacetime
that was more difficult to shake up when
war came. Admiral King, however. has
done much shaking. Again his method
has been to work quietly. That method
has brought great deal of shifting of
sea command in all branches of the
service. The results showed up in the
sea battle-the greatest Of modern times
in which American forces decisively
defeated superior Japanese forces
After one year of war the United
States finds itself far along the road to
overwhelming power on land, on the
sea and in the air. This country has
much ground for gratefuiness to the
commanders who have made the trans
formation possible Ia such q short period

Criticism of Censorship

When one recalls the angry criti-
clsm OF British censorship voiced by
American correspondents in Eng
land during the early days of the
war, it is not surprising that some
OF the harshest knocks at American
censorship are delivered by British
correspondents on this side of the
ocean. The Office of Censorship
should find some satisfaction in the
fact that even this criticism is not
the unanimous expression of all
British correspondents. But the OBJ
jections of some of them have been
rather quickly adopted by American
critics, who see in them the oppor-
tunity to air grievances against the
administration which have little
bearing on the question of CEN
sorship.
Any censorship which operated
without criticism would be subject
to immediate suspicion. For no CEN
sorship, however wisely conducted,
can be acceptable to everybody. In
his interview with G. Gould Lincoln
In yesterdays Star, Byron Price, di-
rector of censorship, made no effort
to defend censorship or even the
particular brand of censorship under
which his office is functioning. He
did resent. and properly some of the
seeming distortions of facts relating
to censorship which make it appear
that his Office is being used by the
administration favorably to color
domestic public sentiment and our
own conduct of the war in the eyes
of our Allies abroad But he con-
fined himself pretty much to a dis
cussion of the facts as he sees them,
manifestly wise policy.
There are those critics, Miss Doro-
thy Thompson, for instance, who are
disturbed because of belief that
certain purely political opinions ex-
pressed by Americans and others
have been censored before trans
mission abroad, and these opinions
"have not been military opinions in
any case of which I know But it
is the censor-not the columnists-
who has the necessarily disagreeable,
but highly important, task Of draw
ing the line between political opin-
ions" and military opinions" 1t
we'll may be, as in the Darlan case,
that the dispatch abroad Of express
sions of political opinion could prove
as dangerous to the lives of our SOL
diers and the success of our military
aims as the revelation of troop move
ments. And the Darlan incident is
not the first, nor the last. in which
political strategy and military STRAIT
egg are so closely interviewer as to
be, at times, indistinguishable.
AS the war goes on and there is
greater public understanding of the
many elements involved in fighting
a war, censorship will be taken more
philosophically if no more willingly,
by the majority of people. Mr.. Price
has suggested a rather sound rule
for the conduct of debate on its
functioning The debate should be
confined to the facts Of censorship,
wisdom of which from time to time
will be at issue. If the facts are
indefensible, another black mark will
be put down on the books against
censorship. But first Of all criticism
should be based on the facts and not
the suspicious which are the inev-
table outgrowths of all censorship.

Fifty Years Ago

Fifty years ago Congress was watching
with apprehension the reports of the in

Silver mission in Brussels. If it

incentive to the militant free silverites,
privately regarded as a nuisance by all

BILE was brewing was indicated by a re-
port from the Belgian city, printed in
The Star of November %, 1892: Under
the scheme to be formulated by Mr.. de
Rothschild, each government represent

fixed proportion of this amount at

OF ughtS.
Most cities have regulations governing
pedestrians their enforcement Is one
of the most trying problems connected
with the traffic bureau OF any police de-
partment. In Washington. for instance.
If every policeman made an arrest In
each case of pedestrian traffic violation
seen by him it would take almost all
the officers from the streets, because 30
much of their time would be required IN
court, even if only small percentage OF
those arrested protested the charge.
Aside from the power to arrest and fire
those who violate trafiic regulations.
many schemes have been tried out to
curb the habit of not observing rules.
One city, for instance, experimental
with the practice of placing q plain
clothes oficer with red nag at each
busy intersection When pedestrian at
tempted to cross against the lights the

decisions OF high strategy. Inc DECISIONS,
however, imposed upon Admiral King a
problem of balancing forces and OF di-
viding forces that would tax the genius
of a superman. Recent defeat OF pow
erful Japanese feet by an American
force of much smaller size shows how
well the division of forces was worked
out. It also shows that an excellent
choice has been made of commanders
for service at sea.
Results of recent naval action appear
to confirm the judgment of Admiral
King in other regards.
That action demonstrated conclusively
that the big battleship still has its place
in war at sea. American battleships
tipped the scales in the fight with the
Japanese Action in the Pacific also
shows that Navy needs its own air
force. With its air force the United
States Navy has so badly hurt the jap
anese Navy that balance is being re-
stored in the Pacific. In the stage ahead.
American shipbuilding capacity will tilt
that balance our way.
The British Navy, without its own air
force, has permitted the Germans to
dispose their few battleships in way
that forces large numbers of Allied ships
to be immobilized for the purpose of
guarding against raids. Likewise, the
British permitted the Germans, almost
without opposition, to build great pro-
tecting works over the submarine yards.
The American Navy, with its own air
force, never would have permitted these
advantages to the enemy.
