America's Natural Resources

In the laboratories of America miracles Ire in the process of being wrought. New frontiers of science are being explored. And old and commonplace materials are being turned to new and marvellous uses.
 Coal and oil are cases in point. We think primarily of coal as a substance which provides motive power for industry and which heats homes. We think prlm- arily of oil as a variety of liquids which propel our engines and lubricate our ma chinery. But coal and oil are the basis of new materials which serve thousand other vital purposes.
 The loss of our natural rubber is lead- ing to the creation of vast new synthe- tic rubber industry. Some kinds ot syn thetic rubber are made from oil derlVa- tiyes. Other kinds are made of deriyat- ives of coal. All the various synthetic rubbers have special and important uses. And the chemists are certain that, In time, we will have an abundant supply of artificial rubber which will be superior in all ways to the natural product.
 We are just on the verge of what might be termed the plastic age" Again, coal and oil enter prominently into the pie ture. They are the basis of long list of plastics which will be used for an as- tonlshing variety of purposes In the iu- ture. Plastic autos, plastic airplanes, plastic window glass, plastic furniture, plastic home utensils-these are but a few of the revolutionary chemical devel- 0pments of the time,
 America is singularly blessed in the magnitude of it's natural resources, And it Is equally blessed in the efficiency and progressiveness of the great private in- dustrles which develop them Natural re- sources give us strength in time of war They will give us a higher standard ot living than We have ever known, when peace comes again.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-09-01
Treasury Thanks Retailers

The Treasury Department recently re- quested that tits thanks and deep appre- citation" be extended to the food chain systems of the country for the fine work they have been doing in selling and pro- noting the sale of War Bonds and Stamps, as part of the Retailers for Vic tory" campaign. Official thanks have also been extended to non-food chains and to the thousands of independent stores which are also participating in the drive.
 Last July, sales of Bonds and Stamps were in excess of $000,00000O - and a very substantial part of those sales were made by retail stores. And the retailers campaign is not a sporadic matter, to be carried on during only limited period of time. Americas retailers have volun- tarily pledged themselves to keep on sell ling Bonds and Stamps for the duration of the war They are stressing these lr1- vestments in newspaper and radio adver- Using and in store displays. They are pushing them, precisely as they push any other article they stock. They are doing that without a cent of profit-and are paying the promotional costs, which to- tai big sums, out of their own pockets.
 Retailers are especially effective in sel- ling the Stamps The average buyer can well afford to take part of his change i'll Stamps. When the retailers urge you to do this, they are simply urging you to do your part in financing the war effort. American retailing always is in the fore front in any necessary and public-Spirit- ed endeavor. It has long been the effec- tive ally of producer and consumer. To day it is devoting its resources to the maximum extent in forwarding the pros ecution of the war.

Real "Tax Parasites"

Tn theory, the government is now tap ping every possible source of tax revenue, Tn actuality, it is completely overlooking source which could and should pay the Treasury hundreds of millions of dollars annually. That source is government owned business enterprises which are now wholly or partly tax free
 The most outstanding example of this inexcusable brand of "taX favorltlsm' IS found in Federal and munieipally-owned power and light systems, For many years, lt has been argued, with full justice, that a prOfit-earning goyernment-owned husi- ness should be taxed on precisely the same basis as proflt-earning privately owned business, Today, with the enor- nous financial demands of war eating deeper into every business and every in- dlvldual income, soclalized business must pay It's share of the burden.
 The Wall Street Journal recently gave a typical instance of what tax favortlsm for sociallzed business means, In the 0rst five months of the current year, the munlcipally-owned Seattle Power and Light Company had 100 per cent in- crease In net earnings over the same pe-

Maintaining Medical Standards

American medicine is doing everything in it's power to meet the enormous de- mand of war for physicians It is assist ing the military forces in swiftly obtain ing the doctors and dentists they need. As war measure, the medical schools Of the country have increased the size of their entering classes by about 10 per cent, and have adopted an accelerated program which calls for the graduation of a class every nine months In addi- tion. the bulk of the medical schools are now making available for military serv- ice all members of their faculties except those who are absolutely essential
 The purpose of this medical program is twofold First, the Army and Navy must be provided with sufficient men of med icine. Second, and equally important, there must be no deterioration in the standards of medical instruction. It is obvious to anyone that a badly-schooled or underschooled doctor would be def mite danger to the community in which he might practice. As a result, medical groups have insisted that the medical schools maintain their standards = and the government authorities have wisely cooperated.
 A speed up in medical education can only go SO far. There is a definite limit beyond which the time necessary for edu- cation cannot be reduced The future welfare of this country demands the highest possible standards of medical care and service-and American medicine Will see that those standards are maintained.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-09-01

rlod in iD4i. Tho Seattle plant pays some taxes to tho city, but none whatever to tho Federal government, In those same five months, representative private utility had an increase In gross earnings of 20 per cent--but it's net earnings de- clIned 35 per cent, due to the increase in It's taxes. That kind of thing is happen ing to practically all basic tax-paying in- dustrIes, in tho manufacturing as we'll as tho service fields.
 When Congress is seeking ways and means Co tax even the gold in the filings of ones teeth, as 1t were, it should no longer overlook the earnings of rich municipal and Federal socialized busi- ness projects such as power plants Why should their profits be more sacred than the wages and profits of private citizens2 These tax-exempt parasites should begin to pay for the privilege Of their existence the same as private business does. The people should demand that Congress plug this loophole.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-09-01

Leon Henderson observes; "Cost-of-liv- ing figures are not just dry statistics. Every advance means that Americans are spending more dollars and cents to live, every decline is victory to keep the cost of-living down." It is not dry statistic that price increase lin uncontrolled foods are drawing a dangerous pattern nit IS a condition that calls for control, before prices mount to an average of 90 per cent which is something Mir. Henderson fears may happen. If MT Henderson succeeds in keeping down mounting averages then we'll all be willing to admit that statistics are cheerful, if the prophecies attached to them come true. Otherwise they are "iust dry statistics with many kicks to be expected from the folks who just told you so"
