This amazing record has won
Arnold the title "the greatest
trust -buster in history" 1t is rich
ly deserved.
Arnold's service to his country
In smashing key monopolies Is
without equal, and incalculable
in economic and military conse-
quences. It As q safe. bet that
when the history Of this period
Is written, Thurman Arnold, the
former law professor, will be cred
tied with some Of the most far
reaching economic reforms Of the
New Deal.
For without the enactment Of
O single new law, and often de-
spite the strenuous undercoyer re-
sistance Of Administration big
shots, Arnold has forced more
fundamental cleanups in big busi-
ness than all the violently con-
troversial New Deal measures
combined.
Arnold has struck directly
at the heart Of mon0polistic
control - patent domination.
He has smashed some Of the
most powerful patent empires in
existence and brought the light
and life Of free competition TO
thousands Of independent buSi-
ness men.
1t Is accurate to say that he
has literally unshackled a num-
Der Of the major industries OF
the U. 8. from the crushing rule
of international monopoly.
BUSTED CARTELS
Few really understand how
great are Arnold's extraordinary
achievements In accomplishing
this result.

MACHINE ORDERS
EARLY THIS YEAR

Farmers in Maryland have al
ready ordered 43 per cent more re-
pair parts for their farm machines
than at this date last year, accord
ing to A V. Krewatch, specialist
in agricultural engineering for the
University of Maryland Extension
Service. Mr.. krewatch is a mem

Board
Reports from Maryland counties

that sc per cent of the total esti-
mated repair needs for 1912 have
been ordered. Most of the orders,
he says, are for parts that wear in
normal use and must be replaced
sooner or later. 1t is during actual
field operations. he states, that
large parts, frames, gears. etc,
are ordered because of breakage
caused by poor adjustments. care

cidents. Even some of these re-
pairs, he advises, should be antici-
pated and prevented, if possible.
especially where the larger parts
are subject to wear.
Mr.. krewatch points out that
some farmers appear to be buying
more parts than they need for their
usual farm operations. He eau
tions that such boarding. as well
as ordering new equipment that is
not needed, may speed the putting
into effect of some rationing plan

Two Jap warships
Sent TO Bottom By
American Action

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-U.P0-
American forces on Guadalcanal
were on the alert today for further
operations by Japanese Warships in
the Southern Solomons after two
enemy ships-a light cruiser and de-
stroyer hit and probably sunk in
renewed air and seat engage
ments.
Speedy American torpedo boats
and long-ranging aircraft were
credited with the newest victims
by Navy communique which en-
phasized that the upper hand of
land fighting on Guadalcanal still
is held by us. Marines and Army
troops.
NAVY RETURNING
The enemy Warships were the
first reported in the Southern Sol
onions since Secretary of the Navy
Frank Knox disclosed some 10 days
ago that the japanese fleet had
retired and American forces had
won the first round in the Solo
mons battle.
Early Saturday morning (Solo-

There was no explanation for the
lack of enemy opposition but the

A BRITISH SHOW

Those folks who have been saying for
so long that the British cannot fight ag
gressively must find it hard going to ex-
plain away the greatest Allied victory of
the whole war to date, outside of Russia.
The African campaign is purely Brit
ish show The whole brunt of the fighting
has been borne by troops directly from
the British Isles, and their principal help
has come from the ominions-Australia
for one-and the colonies.
American materials have undoubtedly
helped, and there are Americans in the
battle too, but mostly as observers and
technicians. Some accounts have tended
to magnify the activity of these men.
Only in the air are the Americans really
taking a big part, and even there they
are not in the maj ority, by any means.
The British aren't waiting for US to
fight their battle in Africa. For the pur-
veyors of disunity, that must be hard to
take

Editorials and Comment
DON'T HAMSTRlNG
THE ARMY

Americas got to make up its collective
mind whether it is fighting a war or play
ing game.
The proposed draft of Is and 10 year
old youths is a case in point We're going
10 draft them that's pretty certain. Since
that is the case, we might as well face
few blunt facts.
To restrict the army in what it can de
with these new drafteeS would make 1t
necessary to reorganize the armys train
ing system and combat divisions COM
pletely. The army needs every minute
of its time to plan for war. 1t should not
be required to undertake reorganization
which is essentially peacetime project.
To provide that the young men cannot
be sent into combat until they have been
trained for q full year would force the
army to create whole divisions made up
of boys aged Is and 10. At the end of
the year these divisions would go into
battle without the SOLDERING Influence of
older men. They would be subject to
panic, disregard of discipline and without
the benefit Of counsel from men who have
already engaged in battle. They would
be cannon fodder, little else.
To write the years training provision
into the new draft bill would bind the
army with such hard and fast provision
that it could not use all available troops,
even in the greatest of emergencies. II
the United States itself were invaded,
young men fully capable Of doing their
part would have to be held on the side
lines, while older troops, possibly from
some more distant point, would be called
upon to face the assault alone.
These are some of the hard facts which
must be faced To allow some misdirect-
ed emotionalism to cloud the issue might
be fatal Those who argue in favor OF
restrictions say they do so in order to
assure maximum protection for the lives
Of the young men. Actually they are do
ing just the opposite.
The best fighting divisions are made
up of a combination of older veterans,
with experience and sound judgment,
and younger soldiers, with the undimmed
fire and enthusiasm of youth. The older
men alone are apt to tire sooner; the
Younger men alone are apt to fall easily
into trap of death.
The army knows the combination it
needs. Congress, in considering the draft
measure, should decide one thing alone
whether the country needs to draft
boys of 1S and 49, Once that is decided
in the affirmative, the army should be
left to decide its technical problems. If
the army is incapable of that much, the
army high command should be changed.
Either we trust the army, or we change
it. Let's not attempt any halfway meas
ures, any deadly restrictions.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-11-09
POST WAR DEBTS
Sacramento UniOn)

Much ado has been stirred up by Gen.
Sir Walter Venning, director of the Brit
ish ministry of supply mission to the Z.
S., with the statement that no accounting
should be kept of war materials exchang-
ed by Britain and America.
The generals statement would appear
to be ill-timed and not conducive to prop
er prosecution of the war.
In the first place, payment or non-pay-
ment for war materials is something that
can we'll be left to be settled after we
have gained victory.
In the second place, there still is bit
ter taste in the mouth of America over
the manner in which France and Britain
handled their financial relations with
America in connection with the last war
Both owed this nation many millions of
dollars and both refused to pay their
debts.
General Venning's statement will recall
this previous experience and stir up the
ashes Of the fire of anmosity for Britain
which that experience caused.
1t would be far better if men in pub
lie and military office, both American
and British, were to be curbed in their
public utterances than to allow them to
make statements which can do nothing
but stir up ill-feeling between the British
and American populaces at a time when
complete unity is needed.
