QUESTIONABLE Plaque

The extent of the quiz mania,
which for months has gripped the
agencies of the Federal Government
and caused much irritation, expense
and use of manpoWer by the Ameri-
can people. is revealed by a new re-
port of the Byrd Joint Committee on
Reduction Of Non Essential Federal
Expenditures. Forty-eight agencies
of the Government in the last year
and a half have called upon the pub
lie to answer 7,025 separate and dis
tinct missionaries. Nor does this
total include the questionnaires and
reports that have been filled out at
the instance Of the Agricultural Ad-
iuStment Administration, the Farm
Credit Administration and the Bu-
reau Of Agricultural Economics.
Under the rationing and price
fixing systems which have been set
up TO meet the war situation, not to
mention the priorities imposed, the

the answers to reasonable number
of questions. But when, as shown by
the case of one company single
concern has been obliged to reply to
questionnaires from twenty-four
Government agencies which handed
it 1874 types Of reports to make, there
is something very wrong. This COM
pany submitted 24,160 reports to
these Government agencies, in the
preparation Of which 132.560 man
hours were required, and the cost of
which ran to 1892 500 for personnel.
Not only has there been no uni
formity, or attempt at uniformity, in
these thousands of reports, but the
purpose and use of many forms are
not clear. Identical information has
been requested by several agencies.
Many OF the questions are too tech

Picture in q Magazine

Nobody knows what the wars Of
antiquity looked like. Such repre-
sentations of them as have survived
the centuries are distinctively in
adequate. The struggle of today,
however, is being recorded by the
camera. If one would see with his
own eyes the meaning of the prevail
ing conflict he needs but to turn to
page 1872 in the National Geographic
Magazine for March.
The picture thus indicated was
taken on the island of Malta in the
Mediterranean. 1t shows the interior
of a church, an ancient temple of the
Maltese knights, at Senglea. Genera
tions of devout men and women had
made the sacred building beautiful.
Paintings and carven marbles,
stained glass and nodded bronze had
been enlisted to illustrate the religion,
the faith and the hope of Christian
community. Now, as the photograph
reveals, an Axis bomb crashes
through the roof; and the oratory is
shattered by the resultant explosion.
Like a monstrous knife the blast
shears away the floor. the doors. the
altar. An avalanche Of broken stones
and timbers is thrown against the
sky, then falls back into the violated
sanctuary. Only moment in limit
less time is wanted for the disaster.
But is the work, the love, the adora-
ton of thousand years so easily
destroyed? The lens gives answer.
High above the Wreckage of the holy
place, unspoiled, unhurt, there hangs
the figure of Jesus on the Cross. Ex-
plain it by accident or by any other
easy theory of cause and effect, the
crucifix and its martyred burden
came through the catastrophe un-
touched. They teach lesson which
the barbarians have not wished to
learn-the lesson of the immortality
of a spiritual ideal. Oh, yes; Christ
dies thousand deaths; the brother
hood He preached is Knocked; His
vision of the Heavenly Kingdom in
this troubled earth is cruelty denied;
humanity for which He sacrificed
Himself neglects Him, fouts His
divine example, pretends 1t knows
Him not.
Yet the Sign by which He con-
quers remains. And reverent people,
beholding it among the ruins, take
heart again, believing His cause is
their cause and is secured against
failure by the grace Of His Father,
who is mindful of even a sparrow's
fall.

Supreme Effort
From the London lEnglandl Times:

from tne London tEnsland) Times:
Production strategy in this country
must be closely related to the production
of the United States and to the reliance
that can be placed upon the supply of
weapons from oversee for the use of
British forces. Our utmost production
lies ahead-how far ahead will be de-
termined, as to manpower, by the num-
Der OF men who must be withdrawn from
industry and the number of women who
can be put in their places. The maxi
mum demands of all the services and the
Complementary demands Of industry will
certainly exceed the limits of the coun-
try's manpoWer. The pairing down of
these demands must be rightly proper
toned, and it must be accompanied by
a denomination Of the use of man
power both In the services themselves
and In industry. In this final stage of
mobilization industry may have to yield
hundreds Of thousands more men to the
fighting services. to recruit more and
more women. and To produce more of the
essentials OF war.
