SAFETY COUNCIL NOTES

At a time like this, when the
world has reached such a crisis
that we don't know whether or
not we will be bombed tomorrow,
buying defense bonds and stamps
is not enough.
Increased production and COM
mereial vehicle transportation has
brought about tremendous in
crease in the number of accidents,
both on our streets and highways
and in our industrial plants. This
increase has severely threatened
our war production efforts and has
brought about the demand for an
increased safety program.
= The Delaware Safety Council,
acting in this emergency, has, as
part of it's program, the distribu-
tion of large, colored, industrial
safety posters to the plants in this
state. There also has been an in
crease in the showing of safety
motion pictures to employees in
our plants and factories in this vi
cinity.
These activities can play large
part in substantial reduction of
industrial accidents, only if every
employee and plant worker is will
ling to cooperate.
He must not only learn to pro-
tect himself from the increased
dangers of his job, due to the in
crease in the speed of production
but he must learn to increase his
efficiency if his services are to be
really valuable to his fellowmen
and those fighting in the trenches
overseas.
The Delaware Safety Council
pleads with you to cooperate
wholeheartedly and do your bit tC
help smash the Axis, not only by
buying bonds and stamps. but by
playing safer, walking safer, driv-
ing safer, and working safer, fol
health, happiness, and victory.

"a Good Story

When asked the other day what role
propaganda should play in Americas war
effort, Elmer Davis replied:
"Democracies have good story to tell
and they ought to tell it." That's summing
up lot in single sentence.
Even when the odds are going against
the democracies it's still good story be-
cause it reveals the spirit of do and dare
that is the beginning of all worthwhile ac-
complishment And when it's good news
such as the latest allied announcements.
it is story that should be broadcast not
only at home but to the world.
This story gives Great Britain and the
United States a three-to-one edge over
the Axis in the battle of the Mediterranean
sea lanes.
The reports credited Allied Forces with
sinking or damaging = total of 66 Axis
ships and submarines against Allied losses
in sunk and damaged ships of %.
This score is just another tribute to the
careful planning and daring execution of
the men who are in charge of activities on
the battle fronts. There are none better.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1942-12-05


According to the office of war informa-
ton, the army and navy have in the last
eighteen months purchased, or contracted
to buy, approximately 100000 acres of
private property. Purchase or lease of ad-
ditional land at Fort Lewis, McChord Field,
Camp Murray, artillery ranges east of the
mountains, the Spokane bomber field and
other military stations in this state &C
count for about $4,000 acres. The total
figures make Uncle Sam one of the larg-
est owners of real estate. in the world.
That sounds rather intriguing until We
stop to think that all of this property.
equal in area to half dozen states, has all
come off the tax rolls. Other owners of
private property will have to dig down
that much deeper to provide the money to
keep the country going. 1t also means
that with vast real estate holdings scat
tered over the country Uncle Sam will be
more and more inclined to take part in
local affairs.
This is a disturbing thought but there
isn't much than can be done to alter the
situation. 1t is one of the things that We
we get out of war. Those who dance must
pay the piper. Even if we didn't start the
dance We have to pay for the music just
the same.

After The War

Editor The Times: In the dis
cussion Of what we are to do after
the war there seems to be complete
forgetting of what we are fighting
for. In the last analysis. this war
is for power. Democracy, imperial
ism, economics are interviewer and
involved, to be sure, but they are
all secondary to the primary mo-
tive. and the power lust resides
in greater or less degree in every
human being.
II the United Nations succeed in
maintaining their solidarity, they
will represent preponderance Of
power that will not be challenged.
But to ensure perpetuation, sur
render of a measure of their ma
tional sovereignty Is prerequisite.
To illustrate: A supreme council
must be created. vested with the

gers fell over onto those on the
back seat. Fortunately nobody was
hurt. though one persons foot was
bruised.
II is commendable for the COM
pany to want to give everybody a
ride and thrifty to gather in as
many tokens, as possible on every
trip, but ther ; is a margin of safe
ty. To go beyond that isn't good
sense. An accident would cost the
Transit company a great deal more
than the extra fares obtained by
crowding. 1t might be added, too,
that there have been instances of
crowding on the Point Defiance
buses which went beyond the
bounds of decency as well as
safety.

The Tacoma Times Editorial and Feature Pages
. Just Good Sense

Herbert Hoover. whose claim 10 recog-
milton rests on more than the fact that he
i the only living ex-president of the
United States. gave an address at the
meeting of the National Association OF
Manufacturers in New York Thursday that
is a masterpiece Of good sense. The sub
ject, 'Some Principles of Civilian Economic
Organization in Total War" gave him OPP
portunity to cover a wide field as he
enunciated twelve major principles to be
observed in the successful prosecution of
a war.
In the course of his address he en-
phasized that the successful prosecution Of
the war in which the United States is now
engaged, involves seven major jobs. They
are:
TO raise military forces; to equip
them; to build transport ships and navy;
to fight war overseas TO furnish our al
lies with ships and arms; to furnish food
to our allies; and finally, to support our
own civilian population"
Getting a clear picture of what this
means viii make ii easier to accept some
of the rationing processes which to many
persons appear to be unnecessary hard
ships. Besides supporting our own civilian
population We are forced to support other
populations in addition to providing all the
materials that war demands.
As the last of his twelve points Mr..
Hoover added this thought with which it
is easy to agree:
And finally, major principle is to or
ganize all these activities so as to assure
the return to economic and personal liberty
the moment the war is over. Civilian war
organization is economic Fascism itself
and if Democracy is to live, these measures
must be dissolved. In peace times we must
think in terms of preparedness for war.
Likewise in war times we must think in
terms of preparedness for peace-and re-
turn to freedom"
That's hitting the nail on the head.
Sometimes Mr.. Hoover makes us Won
der why we do not make better use of the
experience and education which period
in the White House provides.
