OFFICIALS GO TO SCHOOL


All over Washington, grown men
are going to school again. More
than 500 officials of dozen different
departments are doing 'home work"
learning vocabularies, drawing
maps, and studying charts. It's the
latest phase of the Good Neighbor
policy The government is teaching
itself to know Latin-America.
With funds from the Rockefeller
office, a school has been set up,
known as the Inter-American Train

run it.
When Morris Cooke was asked to
head an economic mission to Bra

WAR BULLS POLITICAL AXE
The fact that Economic Stabilizer
Jimmy Byrnes is not letting politics
creep into his job is evidenced by
the appointment of bald, mustachl-
oed Ralph E. Flanders, as one of
the two management representa-
tives on his advisory board. For
Flanders, who is president of the
Jones and Lamson Machine COM
pany of Springfield, VT, has been
one of the Presidents severest crit
les.
In fact if he could get his hands
on certain letter he wrote during
the 1886 campaign, undoubtedly he
would lose no time burning it up.
The letter was sent to Joseph Leib
of South Bend, Ind, founder Gin
1930) of the first Roosevelt-for-Pres
ident club. Leib had written Elan
ders asking if he thought business
would receive the "breathing spelP'
promised by the President during
the campaign.
The Vermont manufacturer re-
piled, August Is, 1886, that it was
increasingly difficult" to support
New Deal policies, chiefly because
of the tax bill of that year, which,
he said, 'smakes it practically i'm
possible either to pay dividends or
to lay aside reserves to meet future
conditions of unemployment.
1T can only conclude" Flanders
added, chat there is no such thing
as a breathing spell SO long as Mr..
Roosevelt is President"
Early in 1941 Flanders was ap-
pointed to a key job in the Machine
and Tools group of the OPM priori-
ties division. His company also has
received several substantial con-
tracts from the government. Taxes
are lot higher than in 1886, how
ever, and there will be no breathing
spell for profits.
But when Leib again wrote Flan-
ders asking if he still held to the
views expressed in the 1886 letter,
Flanders replied
Since we are now at war, much
of the misunderstanding of the
peacetime situation no longer
holds"

SYNTHETIC CHRISTMAS

SYNTHETIC CHRISTMAS
This December 25-one year after
Pearl Harbor-will be a wooden
Christmas with synthetic Santa
Claus. The spirit will be the same,
but the form will be different.
Skates, scooters, sleds, electric
trains, rubber balls-these will be
scarce everywhere if not absent en-
tirely. Only the stores which placed
their orders early last January will
have the usual toys, and these prob
ably will be sold out by Thanksgiv-
ing.
Experts of the commerce depart
ment have made survey of the
toy situation. They find that three
types will be especially short-rub-
Der toys, wheel toys, and metal
goods.
A WPB order stopped production
of children's bicycles last April
Velocipedes, scooters, baby car
riages, "fexies'' all will be short.
Clearly it will not be rolling
Christmas.
Makers of electric trains are 90
per cent converted to making ma
terials of war. There may be SO
per cent of the normal train supply
this year, but they are disappearing
fast. Ice skates and roller skates
are almost unobtainable, and lead
soldiers are practically extinct.
Meanwhile, warlike toys are ap-
pearing everywhere - toy bomb
sights, tanks, bombing planes, and
even bomb-banks for the dimes and
nickels instead of the old piggy
bank.
In all this there is one consolation
for the girls. The war has not
disturbed the production of dolls,
except for those made of rubber.
MERRY-GO-ROUND
q Uncensored reports from the Solo,

will show that the U. S. marines
| fought with even greater heroism
than we realize. 1t will be one of
the great epics in American naval
history. The marines at Solomon
islands were relatively unseasoned
only about eight months. The
man who deserves chief credit for
seasoning them is efficient Dan
Barley, U. S. navy, who supervised
their training as task force at
Solomon Island, Maryland.
