~ID you ever hear of Philo
Norton AIcGiffin? Well,
- neither did l until few
nights ago. He was a real guy - |
didn't just go make him up in
my mind.
There's a Chinese restaurant
down the street an the proprietor,
Mister Wing Teh. likes my brand
OF chill an | like his chop suey.
So every once in a while we trade
a little patronage.
The other night I'm enJovin'
a dish of his barbecued duck -
which goes by the name OF "Sin
Ap" - when Wing brings me out
magazine dated 1894.
".Americans long time fight
Japan" he says. 'Cive look
see what find in oil paper.
Well, its a piece about Philo
Norton McGiffin. He was a soldier
of fortune - except for beln' a
sailor instead. or Philo was. by
1894, second in command of a
Chinese battleship that outsmart-
ed the Japs in the battle of Yalu
River, way back 49 years ago.
Seems OIL Philo had to take over
when the ships captain got the
jitters. They was short of ammu-
milton; the ship got hit an set
afire eight different times. Phllo
was wounded an burned practi-
cally crisp. but somehow he come
out alive an not only saved his
own ship but also another Chinese
battleship.
Well. Wing knew. even if l
didn't. that the Chinese lost
the war of 1894 to the Japs be-
cause they didn't have enough
stuff to fight with.
Now, amt one to go maxim

would be quite fittln' if, the first
time we capture real part OF
Japan, on account Of havin' enough
men an ammunition this time, we
should rename the biggest Jap

Costly Franks

It Is a pretty sad state of affairs when in the midst of total war, when men are dying on far-flung battle fronts, and when men are being maimed by enemy fire, that the town of Waterbury should be blazoned to the world as purlieus of two despicable circumstances.
 The first is the death, of a factory worker, at the hand of two "pranksters' if the charge on which they are out on bail is true. The second is the death of a 10-year old mental defective child in Southbury whose death, according to re- ports, occurred through almost the same means, except in the case of the boy, it was water. In the case of the man it was compressed air.
 The institution to which the boy was confined has been under fire because of the complaint of a father who said his son had been beaten. Whether the charge was justified or not is not in our ken. But the death of the boy following those charges makes one wonder if there may not have been some reason for those charges
 But, whether or not, there is something in the air about Waterbury these days. And it's not ambrosia.

Muckrakers Disappointed

The United States Department of Jus tice demanded the termination of the contract between the United States Navy and the Standard Oil Company of Calif- ornia for the operation of Elk Hills Oil Reserve, on the ground that the arrange ment exceeded the authority granted by lava matter of opinion.
 Frank Knox, Secretary of the Navy, a two-fisted fortnight individual, said that instead of passing the contract around to everyone who might want to raise an eyebrow, "I muffed it." That is, he didn't wallow in red tape. He might have add ed, "But got oil"
 Abe Fortes, Undersecretary of the h. terior, who was the first to challenge the Elk Hills contract, went on record saying there is absolutely no basis for suspi- cion or charges of collusion or improper conduct-merely question of business judgment"
 MT. H. D. Collier, president of the Standard Oil Company of California, an outstanding citizen of unimpeachable reputation, said that "for technical, legal reasons, the contract between the Navy and Standard of California for develop declared by a representative of the De- partment of Justice to be invalid. This contract was proposed by the Navy De- partment and was designed to consolidate the area under Navy control in the in- terest of conservation and to insure per petuation of the area as Naval reserve In the public interest :. The agreement, approved by the President, was based on authority contained in Congressional statute of 1888 which both the Navy De- rpartment and the Standard of California Relieved fully adequate to support the aype of agreement ultimately concluded" The sole question was one of interpreta- hdon of the law. The agreement was fair 10 both parties. The Navy now announc- as it is planning to renegotiate the con- Mact with the Standard Company.

Nonsense Must Cease

One effective weapon against imitation is greater production of consummer goods. Taxes and bonds can never be made to absorb all of the war inflated earnings of the people Moreover, it is becoming evident that price ceilings are a limited success. Therefore, to help maintain stability there must be suffi- cient production of necessities to furnish an outlet for consumers dollars. If there is no such purchasing power outlet and wages continue to spiral upward, accom- panied by astronomical government bor- rowing, the inevitable result will be more and more imitation.
 Civilian production should not be curbed any more than is absolutely nec- essary to armament demands. The non- sense of artificial restrictions on produc- tion merely to make the people realize they are at war, must cease. Lengthen- ing casualty lists carry their own tragic story.
 In addition to stepping up production, the reams of red tape entangling retail distribution must be removed, Rationing and price regulations must be simplined' Attempts to stop infla jon by bludgeonlng retail prices back to lower levels, regard less of costs, should be abandoned before the distribution industry Is demoralized' The average merchant, chain store Tn particular, operates on paper thin mar gins.

We seem to be getting nearer to the possibility of an airfield and base in our locality. There are not too many avail able areas as the land is pretty much cut up by intervening hills. The terrain is rough and immense level areas not too much in evidence. Out Middlebury way there are some fairly level stretches. Any one that has an idea that there must or should be plenty of available land for the purpose should take a little trip around the immediate vicinity, and then realize how difficult it is to find large areas of level land. That's the secret of our picturesque appearance, the lack of great open spaces

At a time when the paper car- tel has been gouging publishers for higher prices and throttling newspapers by supplying less paper, 1t has also been paying juicy sums to International Pa- per officials.
 Since 1880, International Paper has not paid a penny in divi- dends on It's common stock. Yet at the same time International Paper has paid annual salaries of $4l2,250 to six of its officials. Then in addition to these salaries, the same officials got bonuses of $112,500.
 President Richard J. Cullen received 8 salary of $102,000 plus an additional $50,000 paid every year toward a retirement fund.
 The Vice President, w. N. Hurl- but, gets a salary of $43,600 and in addition 8 retirement benefit of $10,000 annually. Also, Hurl- but has borrowed $25, 1893 from the company. There is nothing H. lgal about this, though borrow ing by officials from their com- pany is a special privilege and constitutes an additional burden on the company's financial posi- ton.
 In addition to its officers and directors, International Pa per also paid IA other employees tottal salaries of $383,900. ISOLATIONIST CUPID
 The nuptial rumor that the Chicago Tribune's Col. Robert R. Mccormick was going to wed Mrs. Helen Essary, widow of the Ball. timore Sun correspondent, was told tot he President recently by one of his aides.
 Both Col. Mccormick and Mrs. Essary are ardent isolationists and vigorous critics of the Administra- ton. In fact the Colonel is con- sidered the leading isolationist of the midwest, If not the nation, while the Widow Essary, writ ing in the Washington Times Herald is probably the leading lady isolatoinist in the nations capitol.
 So the President received word of this isolationist romance with considerable interest.

 First in peaches, first in water melons, first to give the vote to 18- year-olds."
 Georgia can add this boast to the inscription on its Great Seal If 1t wishes. The Cracker State is the first in the American Union to lower the voting age which has never be- fore been altered anywhere in the United States since the days of the Colonies.
 There is nothing sacred about q as the age of majority. It is fixed by common law for male maturity, but some states fix IS as the age for women. Some states even say a minor has reached an age of suffi- cient discretion to select his own guardian at IA. And Mrs. Roose- welt says, If they're old enough to fight, they're old enough to vote" Many thinking people recognizing the difference between the functions of voter and soldier, will ques- ton this. Yet the Constitution of the United States permits the States to determine their own qualifications for voters. Georgia. indeed, may have started something.
 Great Britain's voting age is q. but in the last war Parliament gave the vote to members of the armed services at 19. In Japan none may vote under 25, but in Russia all vote at IS.
 Georgia 18-year- odds next year will have two opportunities to distin- guish themselves: It is possible for them to be the first of their age to help elect an American President for a fourth term in office-or they could become pioneers in breaking away from the tradition that they must vote "the way granpappy did"

pensive hotels. They are made much
 of at the Cuban embassy and the Cuban Ambassador, Dr. Aurelio F. Concheso, takes them around to the State Department to meet Secretary Hull. The Cubans love 1t. and no wonder. Washinton, hot as 1t is, has something in its favor over Havana in July and August.
 When the boys get around to making their deal, there is none of this We gotta have $2.75, all we can pay is $2.50. let's split 1t at $2.65 okay it's deal" stuff. The negotia- tions drag on for weeks, with daily huddles. After all, it's a $l50 mill lion to $20O million deal for three or four million tons, which ain't hay, but is lot of sugar.
 SINGING CELEBRATED
 When the deal is closed, some- times the contract Is signed in Washington, sometimes in Havana, but the custom has been establish ed to have the contract signing an- nounced in Havana with great big flourish and one great big party, which is entirely justified. Sugar is Cubas life blood of prosperity. If Cuba can't sell sugar, Cuba goes broke.
 The pressure is, therefore, put on the Cuban delegation to make the best possible deal for their country, to make a better deal than they made the year before, and to make it look good in any event. Cuban national pride is involved, and gradually us gringos are learning how to play the game. Business men types in the CCC and the DSC who would like to close this deal in a hurry and get it over with, so as to get on with something else, are now properly restrained by State Department influence of pro- tocol and pnnctillio. So the Cubans announce the deal in Havana and it's their show, which is as 1t should be.
 The importance of the negotia- tions for the 1914 crop, which open- ed in Washington in nid-July, can't be exaggerated. On the outcome Of this contract will depend whether or not you get all those greatly increased allowances of sugar" which the President passed out with such assurance and generosity in his last fireside chat.
 PREMATURE PROMISE?
 Some sugar brokers and even some government officials say that the President may have been talk ing about too much too soon. After all, the contract for next years Cuban crop hadn't been signed at that time and men in the sugar business, who seem to conduct their business in couple of hours each day and then spend the rest of the time chasing down rumors and sharpening their pencils to figure them out, haven't been able to see where all this sugar was coming from, curtialed world supply and increased world demand considered.
 Guaranteeing the Cubans that the U. s. will buy a bigger sugar crop say a 25 per cent greater crop-at last years prices is a good deal for both sides. And, after all, what is successful trade, whether for hosses in the hills or an inter- national commercial agreement for $2O0 million worth of sugar, but the making of good deals for both sides. And if the Cubans want to go back home and say, Look what we got from Uncle Shylock," okay, let 'em.

Working Safely Speeds Victory

Tn this critical period when produc- tion is so greatly needed and every hour on the job counts in the plants, Ameri- car industry is doing everything possible tc train and protect its production employees in proper shop practices. This is important both in production for the prosecution of the war and in production necessary for the functioring of the civilian economy, but it is more urgent problem in war work, where by far the greater number of new, untrained work CTS are being employed.
 Because of the expansion of the safety problem in war industry occasioned by the great influx of new employees since Pearl Harbor, the management and work CTS of General Motors can take consider able satisfaction in the safety record they hung up for 1922 The company re- ported that last year was the lest plant safety year in it's history, despite the addition of approximately 120,000 new employees and the creation of hundreds of new war jobs.
 Time lost last year by workers due to accidents in the companys plants during 1922 was just slightly over one-half day per thousand hours worked, new all- time low, and per cent under the record u 1St1. 4llC SOllPdlly AOoo-VAAAS through-accidents rate for 1942 is 66 per cent lower than the rate for all industry as reported by the National Safety Council.
 "The report of accidents occurring on streets, highways and nthe home again shows that an employe of General Motors is safer at his job than he is outside the plant," H. w. Anderson vice-president in charge of personnel, points out "Time actually lost due to accidents in the plants was about one-fourth of the time lost in non-industral accidents, and ap- proximately one-fiftieth of time lost as result of employees being absent for per sonal reasons.
 "The constantly improved safety rec ord is due largely to the interest of plant management which maintains supervis- ion of safety practices and safety de- vices on machines, and the cooperation of the employees. Written procedures have been adopted in all plants, new employees are thoroughly instructed on shop practices before they start work, and every effort is made to see that employees work under the best condi- tions possible"
 The companys safety program, based on six-point plan established by c. E. Wilson, president, speaks for itself. h. terest in safety on the part of top man. agement.
