Filling the basement shelves with food
was not boarding back in the days de-
scribed by George Ade in \ Fable: a
bArbed-wire ENHANCEMENT could have been
strung around any Domieile in the Autumn
and the imprisoned family would have
come out on May lst wearing Double
Chins."
Those were the good old days when
most every family had garden. and many
Of them kept flock Of chickens and cow
and raised a pig. Things are different
now. For . generation We have been so
busy running around 10 the night spots
and wearing out automobile tires that We
haven't had time to do anything but run
10 the community grocery for a couple Of
cans, loaf of bread and a bottle of milk.

A suggestion has been made regarding
the interrupted educations of youths
drafted into the armed forces, which has
. lot Of common sense in its favor.
A great many Of these young men have
been attending college or were intending TO
do so. The experience of the last war
shows that, without some extra incentive,
large numbers of soldiers viii come back
having lost their desire to pursue higher
education
The suggestion Is that this incentive
be supplied by setting aside scholarship
funds for those who viii return TO the uni
versifies after the war. A generous part
Of these funds might be contributed by the
government, the rest by the young soldiers
themselves through allotments from their
pay.
The Times has the feeling that this
much generosity is owed these young men
By their country. which, moreover. would
benefit by continuing their educaticis.

Showdown on the five day VS.. six day
work week issue is expected soon. It will
come before congress in an administration
bill which has been passed by the senate
civil service committee. II is understood
that the president wants the bill passed
this month.
The bill provides a forty-eight hour
week for all federal employees and is intend
ed to do away with the overtime provision
of the five day week law. The new
measure provides for an increase in
wages amounting to twenty per cent in the
creases to fifteen per cent and less as the
scale goes up.
This. obviously is the beginning of the
program to make the forty-eight hour
week universal for the duration with wages
on the basis Of straight time. II Is gen.
orally admitted that q forty-eight hour
week in industry would go a long way
toward relieving the manpower situation.
II would not solve the problem entirely but
would be big help.
What is likely to hold up civil service
bin is the opposition Of organized labor on
the ground that it is the opening wedge
to get rid Of the five day week altogether.
A provision guaranteeing that the legis-
lation is only temporary for the period of
the emergency would soften labor's OPP
position.
However. there il 4 strong bloc in
congress ready to 90 ahead on the six day
program. The argument is that total
war emergency does not justify five day
week when in. other countries the work
week Is from fifty-two to sixty hours

. Getting Ready for 1874

As politicians analyze the proceedings
of the recent Republican National commit
tee meeting il seems to them that Gov.
John W. Bricker. of Ohio. was unofficially
nominated as the party standard bearer in
1914. And up to this point the Buckeye
statesman appears to be the logical choice.
The bread and-butter politicians do not
like Wendell Willkie. They don't want TO
antagonize him because they realize that
he has a tremendous appeal 10 certain
classes Of the electorate. His 1910 popu-
lar vote demonstrated that more than b.
100000 people did believe in him. Many
Of the topnotch Grand Old Party stra-
tegists do not trust Thomas E. Dewey,
one of the other out-in-front candidates.
Besides their personal misgivings about
the New York goyernor-elect, they do not
feel that figure from the Empire State
will be able to carry midwest and farm
sections two years hence. The king makers
are looking for man in homespun who
combines the most attractive Characters
tics of Warren G. Harding and Calvin
Coolidge.
The arguments of Republicans who
favor Mr.. Bricker may or may not be fair
TO him. They think that the 1912-192O
cycle will be repeated. They hold that
the American people will be so Disguised
and disillusioned about the war and the

, A Word About War Bonds

One Of the stumbling blocks which has
in some instances interferred with the vol
untary pay roll war bend drive is the
propaganda that q large per cent Of the
bonds are already being redeemed. Hear
ing this story based on what is purported
70 be reliable information, The workman
who is asked to put ten per cent OF his
wages into war bonds is going to hesitate.
and he cant be blamed This is true par
ticulariy when il has been represented to
him that lot OF purchases IN the various
drives were made for effect and with the
understanding that the bonds would be re-
deemed.
There is just one thing 10 be said about
that story. II Is = fabrication purely.
There may be isolated cases where neces-
sity has compelled the purchasers 20 liquid
ate but that is the exception. The Times
makes that statement without qualifica-
ton.
What is happening is that great num-
bers of persons are making a personal
sacrifice in order to contribute to the gov
eminent war chest In one instance a
family with total income of $3.50 month
is buying two fifty dollar bonds every
month and has been doing so for five
months. Another family with an income
of $160 month has been buying one fifty
dollar bond q month for the last four
months. Others are putting their money
into smaller denominations. The important
thing, however. is that these people are
buying for investment and the profit that
will come when the bonds mature.
AS for the bonds being purchased in
large blocks by the big investors, just try
to get any of them away without paying
a heavy premimum. Financlers and bust
ness analysists know that the safest in
vestment in the world today is the United
States war bond.
The record to date is exceedingly sat
isfactory but as the war progresses more
money is required. The government can
get sound money only by borrowing it
from the people. The payroll drive under
way this month puts 1t on q volunteer
basis. The kind Of government we have
would rather get il that way. But IL the
response, because Of bad propaganda or
other reasons. does not meet the require
ments, 1t will be necessary to make the
contribution compulsory.
Let Us not make that necessary. Let
us show the rest of the world that we
citizens of the United States Of America
think enough of the kind Of government
we have to respond TO this appeal for help.
We may sometimes find fault with the
way things are run in this country. Mis-
takes are made and will be made, but
where in all the world Is there another
government which is so worthy of the
whole hearted support Of its citizens!

. Where Your Scrap Goes

Many persons in Tacoma have won-
dered what became Of the scrap picked up
in the drives held here. The answer is
found in report just issued by the Amer
lean Iron and Steel Institute.
Between April and the end of October,
the stockpile increased by nearly 1,50O.O 900
tons. That quantity represents the con-
tributions from American homes, farms
and industrial plants. Large as that con-
tribution was. it is still several hundred
thousand tons short of requirements if the
stockpile is to be maintained on a safe
margin.
Inability to acquire adequate tonnage
of scrap for remelting at time when max
imum steel production must be obtained
for the war program has placed an added
burden upon blast furnaces producing pig
iron. Aside from scrap, pig iron is the
only other major source of the metallic
iron which is the primary raw material
for steel.
While the pig iron outlook now is pretty
good. more scrap will be needed if the re-
quirements Of the war are to be met
What this adds up TO is the probability of
another scrap drive. and another and an
other on top of that.
1t takes lots of scrap. to win a total
war. Actually we haven't seen anything
of this scrap business yet.

An American writer Just back from the
Near East expresses the belief that the
success of Montgomery's army in Libya
followed by that Of Eisenhower in North
Africa was possible only because Turkey
was not fighting on our side. BY remain
ing neutral, he reasons, she was q con-
tinuous barrier to Nazi moves south of the
Caucasus.
Had Turkey declared war on Germany
las most people hoped-she was so in
adequately supplied with modern arms
that the British would have been obliged
to drain their Egyptian and Syrian forces
Of guns, and United States material would
have been switched from its Cairo destina-
ton to one in Anatolia. And troops would
have been withdrawn from the Nile to help
the Turks.
When direct railroad communications
between German territories and the east
em country were opened last summer, the
Nazis sent many locomotives and trains.
Ambassador Won Papen's scheme was TO
ask Ankara 10 break its Anglo-Turkish al
lance whereupon Hitler would have rolling

the study under the financing of
the Falk Foundation OF Pittsburgh.
1t analyses the Dominican econ
omy, especially those phases rela-
tive to opportunities for settlers.
The limiting factors in the re-
public include the virtual lack OF
mineral resources and the need for
importing coal and Oil. Existing
industries, which are concerned
chiefly with the processing of agri-
cultural products, offer little op-
portunity for men and women from
Northern Europe.
Wage Rates Too Low.
The report says that even if the
substantial capital required to es-
tablish new industries could be OBJ
tanned, there would be little ad-
vantage in creating an industry to
employ settlers at prevailing Do
minican wage rates, which are 50
low that hand processes are some
times cheaper than modern manu-
featuring methods.
Payment Of higher wages, it is
said, would make it difncult to COM
pete either with similar Dominican
enterprises or with imports from
abroad
The relatively small amount Of
unoccupied land presents a serious
obstacle to refugee settlement, the
Brookings study found.
The survey was directed by Dana
G. Munro, director of the School of
Public and International Affairs of
Princeton University.
