People Ready
To Make Every
Victory Sacrifice
Hesitation in Federal
Action Is Condemned
as Unnecessary. Harmful
BY b. c. FORBES

The government should not hest
tate for one moment to take any
and every step calculated to expe-
dite winning the war.
Every patriotic citizen, every
patriotic family, is more than will
ing to accept whatever restrictions
may be imposed.
II the government decides that
we must give up our automobiles,
we will do so without a murmur.
Indeed. the majority of the Ameri-
can people are eagerly anxious TO
accept sacrifices.
If the administration decides
that patents should be thrown
open to everybody during the war
the public will unhesitatingly APP
prove.
If the administration should, at
the long last, decide that labor
unions must submit to restrictions,
the same as the rest of US, the
public will applaud.

Instead OF this there is still
a babel of voices from business
sources. Too many associations
are trying to conduct themselves
as usual, dispensing their energy
and their influence on a multi
plicity of problems, instead of
concentrating on a few timely
prime essentials. Likewise. in
stead of defending the basic
fundamentals, on which forward
looking operating corporate ex-
ecutives agree, associations are
still arguing about controversial
matters on which there can be
no united front. 1t is time TO
turn away fron obsolete theories
and to get down to brass tacks.
1t is propitious for the genuine

business leaders to make certain
that the private bureaucracy

hear their masters voice.

Imultifarious barriers erected BY
many states against transportation
of urgently needed war materials
Declares President Roosevelt:
Legal obstacles arising from
a desire for regional and local
advantage In a country so vast,
with industry and interests so
diverse, tend to defeat the re-
quirements of free commerce
and free enterprise among the
states. Vexatious and descriptive

Mr.. Nelson emphasizes that

Un-American Action
This writer has repeatedly, in
recent years, drawn attention tc
the un-American action of many
states in erecting barriers against
interstate free trade. commerce
transportation. AS long as three
years ago these facts were re-
corded-and condemned:
Kansas had established Sc ports

ing the state, where officials
stopped all traffic exactly as Gus
toms officials do on the borders
of European countries.
Oklahoma had 5S similar GUS

The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
Monies was quoted as reporting:
among the ways and means
specified for hampering the free
flow of commerce between states
are bewildering maze of quar-
antines, embargoes and other
impositions; discriminatory in
spection fees, licenses and taxes:
conflicting food grading, labelling

Need General Staff

In peacetime, widespread ex-
preston of differing viewpoints
is healthy and desirable. but in a
war of survival a general stat"
is needed to assure a sense of di-
rection.
In view of the eagerness of
typical Americans to get on with
the war. a general staff" of
business that stressed the essen
tials of a blue print for victory
would have an enormous influ-
ence on public opinion.
With the national economy
donning khaki, the country is
still in the phase of converting
from peace to war. 1t is making
drastic changes in the process.
Sees Lean Pickings
Many of the changes will
tend to leave lean pickings for
civilians.
In the forthcoming ban on
durable goods, civilians for a
time can live on their fat. ex-
tending the life of existing
models. If victory comes
quickly, perhaps there will be
no need of partially turning
back from the current drastic
trend. But if the war should be
prolonged, then IL might be
found necessary and desirable
to enlarge the ALLEGATIONS for
civilians.
In total warfare II is difficult
TO draw the line between civil
ian and war production. For
healthily functioning national
economy Is essential in order TO
achieve large scale productivity
for munitions. 1t takes a high
order of economic intelligence
to balance the needs of men at
the front against the minimum
requirements of persons behind
the lines.

age suit by Frank Colonnese Of
Bridgeport as the result Of fall on
gas station driveway at $50 South
Main street May 5, 1871. The Merit
OIL Corp operates the gas station
while the other two defendants are

attempted to re-enter 1t he stepped
into a depression about an inch
and a half below the level of the
cement driveway, thereby twisting
his ankle and falling against his
car. The depression is said to have
been adjacent to a cement platform
in which gas tanks were set, and
the plaintiff claims the defendants
should have known persons would
step from their cars while their
cars were being serviced. Negligence
is charged for permitting the defect
to exist.
The plaintiff alleges that he sus-
tanned a hernia as a result Of the
fall and suffered from nervous
shock.
The gas station was leased by the
Merit Oil Corp. May l, 1888 from
the late Morris zusman upon whose
