 Adaptability to changing conditions IS one or the best ways we can judge the chances of survival for human being, an animal-or a country.
 One of the reasons England has survived through centuries of industrial and political revolution is Lighted by the recent address of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. William Temple.
 Now the Church of England is established by law and is part of the Constitution of the country It is in very true sense, branch of the Govern- ment. Yet hear the primate of the church utter ing sentiments which, in this country, would send Congressman Dies his trail
 The Archbishop of Canterbury told his London audience that money-or it's modern form of credit has become private monopoly of the banks and this monopoly should be taken over by the Gov ernment.
 Private issue of new credit, he said should be regarded in the modern world just private mint ing of money regarded in earlier times. He ad- vocated limiting the banks power to issue credit to the amount of their actual deposits while the issue of credit should be the exclusive function of government.

PetrillO Marches On

 Undeterred by Congressional investigations or Department of Justice prosecutions, Petrilo marches on, telling the American people what they can and cannot hear It is rare day on which he does not think of some new suppression.

He has demanded according officials of the Blue network, that both the early and late Benny shows be pro- duced with Tive talent" or that the musicians be paid double wages.
 Is Petrillo foolish in carrying his campaign so far? Or has he sized up the American politician correctly? Congress, he is confident will not dare to take any serious action before election-or after. Meanwhile it is important for all of us to keep in mind that indignation against MT Petrllo personally is futile. He is merely a symptom.

ABOUT EXPLANATIONS

Byron Price, Director of Censorship, recently told gathering of newspaper publishers that Am erican newspapers doing good job in striking a balance between what war news should be pub lished and what withheld but falling down on the job of informing the public to why some in formation is withheld.
 Although admire the Director of Censorship and realize that he has difficult job to perform in the war effort seems to us that he passed the buck that
 Newspapers have had very little opportunity to date to decide whether anything should or should not be printed The network of civil and military censorship organizations is holding the reius in the news lanes. Perhaps newspapers would do little explaining to why information is withheld if the Army and Navy would pass the basis for the ex- panation along.
 When the news of the American air raid on Tokyo was released, the impression given out was that none of our-plots lost The Japs claimed the capture of few of the fliers, claimed shooting down at least one plane, but our sources denied this.
 Now Secretary of War Henry Stimson says that perhaps the Japs do have few of our boys taken after the raid Tokyo
 This is an example of situation where nfor- nation was withheld. Secretary stimson explained nothing the other day when he released the news. It may be that although the War Department knew that some of fliers went down in the raid or after, it was not sure but what they had chance for escape to friendly territory, and for that withheld the information. But the newspapers have way of knowing that this the case.
 Last week, the Navy Department announced the sinking of three American cruisers in the Solomons news held back for two months. Here, again there no explanation of why the news of these sinkings not given out at the time. In making

KANSAS GERRYMANDER

In the political re-districting of States following the last census, no House member got larger dose of "gerrymandering" than the lone Kansas Democrat, Representative Jack Houston. The G. O. P.-con- trolled Kansas Legislature added Il Republican counties to his district, and Houston will have to do some powerful campaigning to overcome this handicap.
 However, he doesn't let it get him down. In a recent speech to new constituents, he explained his pre- dicament:
 Reports that the Legislature was trying to prevent my reelection be- cause I am Democrat are false, ladies and gentlemen. The inside fact is that Republicans in the Leg iSlature figured I was doing such an outstanding job in Washington, that they decided to give me more ter ritory"
 NOTE: Joking aside, Houston has done an outstanding job in Wash ington, is one of the most useful and farsighted members of the House.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do rot compep'
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27

TUESDAY, OCIOBER ~ After the early morning, ad- verse planetary aspects are actlVe today. There is a threatening DOT tent affecting labor.
 HEART AND HOME: Tempta- ton to hoard household essentials will affect many women at this time when true patriotism forbids this form of selfishness. Study of food values will enable home cooks to provide well-balanced meals that leave no cause for regret re- garding rationing and freezing regulations. Girls will plan the sub stitution of hard work for their usual autumn programs of social affairs. It will be necessary, the seers warn, for women of all walks of life to aid in war production tasks.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Private enterprise will contribute greatly to government needs in prosecut- ing war plans on a gigantic scale. Capitalists as well as everyday folk of average income will realize what it means when all-out aid is need ed. Work for everyone will assure continued prosperity in all parts of the country. The end of the month will give abundant asstr- ance that at last the nation has attained momentum that means in- evitable victory in the greatest of conflicts.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Among the heroes of the nation many Negroes will gain fame as they prove their efficiency in all branches of the armed forces. Surgeons will con- tribute much in hospitals. Men of many professions will prove their ability as officers and enlisted men. When peace is won liberty and equality for all' will be more than a phrase. Through suffering and sacrifice citizens of the United States are to attain splendid un- ity, the seers prophecy.
 INTERNATIONAL FAIR S.: Secret missions will be numerous as daring plans for the greatest of all offensives are expanded by the United Nations. Events next month will emphasize the need of fre- quent conferences among the gov ernment heads of the Allied peo- ples. SatuIn's transit through Ge- mini between May 1942 and June 1944 will add to the effects of the Uranian transit through the sign Complications may be expected.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of | much success in private affairs and public service. There may be travel and change for both men and wo- men.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will enjoy success in science or literature. Gifted and ambiti- ous, they should have strong, we'll | balanced characters.
