COMMENTS

The sore spot which has existed
at the c. J. Miller school for the
past two years has just been heal
ed up. When the school opened
about three years ago, we had only
two colored teachers. although the
pupils there were ninety per cent
colored. But to-day we have a
star OF fourteen teachers. seven OF
whom are colored. Maybe, by next
September there will be more.
The principal, BENJAMIN Goodeli.
In q statement to the writer, re-
Gently said that there is likely TO
be another colored teacher added
early this winter. He also reported
that harmony now exists, where
there was confusion all last Sc
mester. Parents. teachers. princi-
pal and pupils all get along like
one big, happy family. There is
just one thing lacking about the
school set-up now. The people feel
that the board or someone gave
them q rotten deal. by arranging
that only certain groups can Sc
cure the use OF the school audi
forum. think, however. that any
Individual who goes TO the princi-
pal this year with q worthwhile
program will be able 10 secure the
use OF the school auditorium, with
out the endorsement OF last ye'-
privileged few.
The public Is also looking for
ward to the appointment OF an
ether colored school tanitor. which
appointment we feel confident will
come within the near future.
Some scandal Is being circulated
In the community regarding the
collection Of scrap last Saturday.

Is NATURALIZATION OF
INDUSTRY In PROSPECT?

tional Railway is now in position to
efficiently and economically handle
the extra traffic made necessary by
the stress of war, while United States
railway systems are utilizing man
power that is badly needed in defense
! industry to keep our traffice moving
and despite the extra work that is
being done on roadbeds and equip
ment our railway systems are rapidly
PREACHING a condition where the gov
eminent will again be compelled to
step in and take over their operation
to insure efficient transportation of
war materials.
While recent months and years
have shown considerable improvement
in the condition of U. S. railway sys-
TENS over their condition during the
previous World war, the profit motive
with its attendant high financial
methods has not, and will never pro-
vide the service to the nation and pub
lie which is to be expected from a
publicly owned and operated industry
and which is more onticeably neces-
sary in times of great emergency like
the present.
Now what has previously been said
of the privately owned railways is
equally applicable to other major in
dustries, for with the profit motive
governing, those in control of the in
dustry seek to secure ever greater
and greater profits and in so doing
resort to methods which approach
nearer and nearer the boundaries of
legitimate business until the urge for
still greater financial returns finally
tempts those in control too strongly
and then we hear of another major
financial scandal. A Samuel insult
make hasty trip to Europe. an Ivor
Kruger commits suicide, or the doors
of Alcatraz yawn for some financial
magnate.
Truly high finance knows no patri-
otism, fact which the public is rapid
ly coming to realize, and the emer-
gency of war now confronting the
world, with its demand for efficient
and immediate results points ever
more strongly toward naturalization
of industry as the best probable meth
cd of attaining that goal.

By LEvERNE HAMILTON

In a previous article under the
above heading l outlined few OF the
defects of our American privately
Iowned railway systems.
Let us now draw brief comparison
with the nationally owned and oper-
ated Canadian National Railway,
which is operated with the idea of
service to the nation rather than from
the profit standpoint.
Readers will recall that during
World war number one the U. S. gov
eminent was compelled to operate the
railway systems because private man
agement admitted its inability to han
die the traffic. The reason for this
admitted inability to handle the traf-
fic was never publicly stated but the
thoughtful reader knew, and still
knows, that railway management
through stock-watering melon cutting,
high executive salaries and other
shady, though often legitimate prac-
tees, had MIXED the railway treas
uries of funds necessary to mainte-
nance of the roadbeds and equipment
to provide large salaries and divi-
dends for their stockholders. Service
to the public could be damned (and
was) but the financiers must have
their profit
While it is quite possible that the
systems could have been properly
maintained and a moderate profit de-
rived, the fact remains that the fl
nanciers were not satisfied with mod
crate profits and consequently when
war came with its extra demand on
transportation the roadbeds and
equipment were not in condition to
handle the traffic and because of the
publics subconscious knowledge of
these financiering methods they could
not by issuing more bonds secure the
funds necessary to secure the proper
equipment.
Americas dire need however gave
opportunity for further high financing
methods. Uncle Sam had to have
transportation, therefore let the public
pay for It, The public did. The gov
eminent went to enormous expense
to put equipment and roadbeds in
conditions and when the crisis was
past the financial controllers again
brought their methods into play, in
ducing Washington to grant them 81
gantic subsidies for years after the
war, but despite the enormous ex-
pense thus incurred by the govern
ment our U. S. railway systems are
still not in condition to provide the
transportation necessary to the proper
conduct of the war.
Contrast this with the operation of
the Canadian National Railway which |
during the depression, while U. S.
railways were getting gigantic sub
sides and crying for more, had re-
duced working hours, established the |
five day week, put more men to work,
and put its equipment and roadbed in
shape to handle traffic, if and when
the depression was over.
1t is true that the Canadian Nation |
al during the depression deferred pay |
ment on its bonded debt but in 1914 |
the Canadian National paid forty-six
million dollars in deferred interest
and this without the enormous sub
sides and guarantees given the rail
ways of the United States.
The point which l wish to impress
IN the reader however is that due to
he foresight and the idea of really
serving the nation the Canadian Ma

Americas future than the soldiers In
the Axis armies, for they made Hitler
and they intend to win" their war
whether or not that means a Hitler
victory, too.
Must Defeat Farben, Too
Even if and when the United Ma
lions destroy the Germany Army, the
war will not be won as long as Farben
continues to operate. There will be
no peace, no matter what the terms,
while this economic and political col
ossus pursues its goal of world domi-
nation
The story of l. G. Farben goes back
to 1920, when seven men met in
Frankfort-on-the-Ma to formulate
plans for another attempt at conquest
and domination of the world. In the
% years since then, many American
companies and many men Of interna-
tional reputation have directly or in
directly, consciously or unconsciously
served the German dream of world
empire
There have been some direct" af-
filiations too clear to be missed such
as those which existed between Far
ben and General Aniline & Film Cor
poration and Sterling Products, Inc.
Some of the Names
There have been some indirect" af-
filiations, broken up-if at all-only
since the outbreak of the second
World War, such as those which ex-
listed between Farben and Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey and Ford
Motor Company.
There have been direct personal
connections between Farben execu-
tives and naturalized American citi-
zens. Among these naturalized citi-
zens are Walther H. Duisberg, son of
the founder of Farben, and Dietrich
A. Schmitz, brother of the present
head of the German war economy.
Other names figuring prominently
in the affairs of Farben-dominated
companies belong to native born
or to men of national rep
utation. There is Earl I. McClintock,
for instance, vice president and direct

Due to the extensive publicity put
out by the Standard Oil Company
leading the people of this country to
believe they could adequately take
care of the rubber situation, and due
to the statements made by Leon Hen.
derson to the Truman committee of
the United States senate that we
would be short 468,000 tons of rubber
in 1943 and 100000 tons in 1914, our
congressman and senators became
very much alarmed. A subcommittee
from our agricultural committee of
the United States senate was APP
pointed to make an inquiry into this
situation. This subcommittee has
been holding hearings since March
20, 1912. They have called numerous
witnesses from the oil companies, war
production board, rubber division war
production board, price administra-
ton, United States department of
agriculture and the men proposing to
manufacture rubber from agricultural
products
The facts show that from the oil
processes we will get very little rub
Der In 1943 and it is very questionable
as to what we will get from the oil
processes in 1914 and 1915. The facts
further show that the Rubber Division
War Production Board of the United
States government is following a pro-
gram recommended by representa-
tives of the Standard Oil Company
and the four major rubber companies.
Representatives in charge of the Rub
Der Division War Production Board
for the United States have stated
there was no place in the rubber pro-
gram for agriculture. Charges were
made by the witnesses representing
agriculture that the government was
proceeding on method of manufac-
turing rubber that had not been de-
veloped by either the Standard Oil
Company or its German Allies.
These charges were substantiated
by Mr.. Daniel Pyzel, vice president
of the Shell Union Oil company; also
vice president of the Shell Union
Chemical Corp, companies which
have a contract with the United
States government to build a large
butadiene plant for the production of
rubber. Mr.. Pyzel said ALL THESE
A RE COMPLETELY
NEW. THESE PLANTS ARE STILL
IN THE BLUE PRINT STAGE. IT
IS A CASE OF CONTINUING RE-
TO ASCERTAIN THE
BEST PROCESSES AND TODAY WE
DON'T KNOW HOW THE PLANTS
WILL COME OUT. WE ARE JUST
OUR WAY. Mr.. Pyzel also
stated that NONE OF THE OIL COM
PANIES WERE ANY FURTHER AID
vANCED IN THIS MATTER THAN
HIS COMPANY. At meeting held
January 4, 1912, none of the oil COM
panies had perfected an acceptable
process. After these statements were
made by Mr.. Pyzel, the Standard Oil
Company recommended that all of its
contracts with the Rubber Division
War Production Board be changed to
a different process which is also en-
tirely new. Following these recon-
nendations of the Standard Oil Com
Dany, our government is still expert |
nenting with new processes while our
Army, Navy and civilians are suffer
ng from the rubber shortage.
According to statements made by |
different governmental denarf,nenta |
hey are now eliminating the rubber
