For All Retail Trade

All weighing and measuring de-
vices used in District retail trade
must be placed so that recordings
will be readily visible to customers,
under regulations adopted by the
Commissioners and announced yes
terday by J. T. Kennedy. superin-
tendent Of weights, measures and
markets.
This is a provision which will
be beneficial to the public. in that
customers now will be in the posi-
tion of watching all weighing Of
commodities they are buying" Mr..
Kennedy said
Adoption of the new specifications
and tolerances for weighing and
measuring devices, he added, brings
the District up to date. The new
rules are In keeping with specifica-
tions suggested by the Bureau of
Standards and the National Con-
ference on Weights and Measures,
he reported.
New Rules Adopted.
Among the new rules adopted by
the city heads on the recommends
ton of Mr.. Kennedy, were the fol-
lowing:
All gasoline pumps installed In the
future must be SO constructed that
after gas is dispensed to one Gus
toner and the pump motor stops.
it cannot be operated again until
the indicators are returned to zero.
Whereas the old rules carried no
specifications on fuel-oil meters
either on delivery trucks or at bulk
plants, the new rules prohibit any
arrangement Of pipes or valves that
would in any way permit short
measure.
Bottle Regulation.
Because of the shortage OF tin
cans. oil now is being sold in bottles,
and the new specifications cover this
practice. Regulation require that
bottles have a clearly defined gradu-
alton line indicating capacity. Mr..
Kennedy explained that the rules
require that this line be set high
enough to insure the pouring Of one
quart. or one gallon, as the case
may be, from the bottle.
The specifications also cover all
types of scales, from the finest pre-
scription scales to the largest types
for weighing trucks, as well as all
weights used in connection with
scales.

where without the prodding, sus-
tanning pressure of public demand
and support.
The Christian churches ought to
play major part in supplying this
indispensable popular backing for
constructive internationalism. Un-
til victory Is won, war is bound to
be thought of chiefly sas the means
by which we overthrow our enemies
When the victory is gained, Chris
tians, at least, ought to see that if
any decent, humane and Christian
possibilities are to be open to our
children, war itself Is the major
enemy that must be overthrown.
And that can be achieved only by
patient, long-sustianed, sacrificial
devotion to the great adventure for
whose basic principles the six Pill
lars of Peace" stand.
Society's major gains have COM
monty come from the confluence OF
two factors: First, ideals that blaze
the trial out toward a better day,
and second, realistic facts that make
lllc SCdGuS QuO OOFlOuoAy 4uAAlOuo w
mans happiness and prosperity
Slavery Uneconomic.
The abolition of human slavery
was at first an ideal; afterward it
became clear that as a matter of
realistic self-interest slave labor
was economically bad business for
all concerned. Only when those two
factors pulled and pushed in the
same direction did the system Of
human slavery break down.
We have reached that stage with
reference to isolated nationalism,
balance of power politics and war.
That whole system is not only ethi-
cally wrong, but practically suicidal.
Our best ideals of humanity as
one family and the realistic facts
of wars hideous self -destructiveness
are now massed on the same side
of the issue. Sooner or later that
combined pull and push are going
to force us to an internationally Or
ganized world. If we will have 1t
so. that can at least begin to hap
pen in our generation.

By DR.. HARRY EMERSON
FOSDICK,

The "Six Pillars of Pace" are
clear enough so far as major aims
are concerned Forward looking
people want continuing political and
economic cooperation between the
United Nations and, as soon as pos
sible, between all nations, with an
international organization OF some
sort, flexible to change and strong
enough to control ornaments, to
provide security against war, to
gain increasing autonomy for SUBJ
ject peoples, and progressively to
win for all men religious and in
tellectual liberty.
Two major facts, however, con-
front such hopes: First. the i'm
possibility at this present time of
blueprinting in detail their political
implementation; and, second. the
need of sustained, constant and
urgent pressure of public opinion,
tirelessly insisting, through thick
and thin, that the implementation
must be found.
Public Must Voice Views.
Let us not fool ourselves! The
closer the military victory of the
United Nations comes, the more
complicated and difficult loom post
war problems. Certainly, if a just
and durable peace is to be won, only
a vigilant, insistent public opinion
that never gets tired and that re-
fuses to quit can win it.
Nowhere is this fact more impor-
tant than in the United States.
Despite the obvious insanity of iso-
lationism, we are likely to face after
victory a war-weary popular re-
action, with certain politicians ready
to take advantage of it, threatening
us with repetition of our folly
after the last war. Indeed, nothing
can prevent that tragedy except a
ground swell of public sentiment
too strong to be resisted and too
determined to be tired out.
To be sure, we may have in Wash
ington an administration and a
Congress sincerely committed to in
ternational collaboration, but, even
50, dissensions within the Nation
and discouragements without, are
certain to be immense, furnishing
to weak knees an excuse for giving
way and to short-sighted self
interest an argument for another
try at the idiotic policy Of interven-
ton in war and isolation in peace
Even an internationally minded
President and Congress will get no.
