Recognition at Last

War has one virtue. It reaWakens a peoples sense of values. For example, in peacetime everyone takes the local news paper pretty much for granted. Its value to the community and to the ideals of freedom which the editor symbolzes with every opinion he expresses, is almost wholly lost to sight.
 In ordinary times the editor is pain fully reminded of the arbitrary value placed on his services. Advertising is hard to obtain. When it is obtained it is strictly on a basis of getting so many customers for So-and-5o's gadget. Any advertising manager who bought space in newspapers with the partial objective of encouraging free press and free enter prise would, few years ago, have been looked upon as light-headed by his col leagues.
 But today circumstances have changed The nation is at war. It is at war to restore freedom to other nations and to perpetuate it in this country. Our people have had abundant opportunity to con- template the horror of nations where freedom is dead.
 Our business men, all of us, have Ob- served that in those nations disappear ance of personal liberty was accompanied by the disappearance of the virulent free thinking and free speaking editor. After the disappearance of he editor came the iron hand of dictatorship. It is not sur prising that we begin to look upon the editor and the free press he represents as something to be preserved at all costs in this country
 Industry ralizes at last that withut our free press there could be no free en- terprise. Industry realizes now that if it wants to do business at the same old stand after the war, it will have to first help pre- serve system of government that will let private enterprise live. War has reawak- ened industry to the value of the editor. Its representatives have discovered that the American press renders service tar beyond selling few ysrds of Blank Com pany's cheesecloth. They are finding out that this latter service-the keeping alive of freedom-cannot be measured in dol lars and cents. or bought by the inch.

A Thought for Today
Congress Taking a Hand

During the past decade, the Federal oepartment Of Justice has prosecuted many leading business and industries of ne country, charging violation of Fed TaI antitrust laws. Recently it brought ucn action against fire insurance com lanles. In sustaining demurrer to the hargeS, District Court of the United states 1n Georgia declared, "The Supreme Sourt has repeatedly held during period 75 years that the business of insurance not commerce" The government has appealed to the United States Supreme Court.
 The effect of this antitrust proceeding, successful, would be to destroy state regulation of insurance, and bring about complete chaos in the insurance business. The issue involved in the attack on fire insurance concerns not only states rights and the companies, but also every inSur- ance policyholder in the United States and the local agents throughout the coun- try who serve them.
 The states have found that to permit uncontrolled competition tends to result m 1avor1tlsm to the strong as against the weak, and that companies which write rates violating the laws of averages, must In the end become insolvent, with nothing but loss to policyholders and the states. Every insurance man knows that loss experience and physical and economic conditions in the several states vary, and, that while state regulation on the whole follows 8 definite pattern it should vary with states to meet local conditions.
 With view to maintaining state au- thority in the insurance field, and pre- vent uncalled-for Federal encroachment upon the rights of states, by regulation of local affairs, identical bills are now in the United States Senate and the House of Representatives which, if enacted into law, will affirm the intention of Congress that the regulation of the insurance bus mess remain within the control of the states.
 There is nothing unusual in these bills since the Supreme Court of the United States has long held, without exception, that the business of insurance is not com merce, hence, is not subject to Federal antitrust laws, and may be regulated by the states. For over 90 years, insurance has been regulated by the states, each acting to meet local conditions in the way 1t deems best for it's citizens. The secur- ity of this nation now rests more than ever in the hands of Congress. It is heart en1ng to see it, as well as our courts, talk ing firm stand to assure constitutional protection for individual as well as states rights.

Why Baruch Is "It"

Apparently there is one man sitting in the inner circles surrounding the Presl- dent whose judgment is always called good. That man is Bernard M. Baruch who has been named at the head of new unit within the Office of War Mobillza- tion. He will administer war and post war adjustment problems.
 When this war is over there will De about 100000 prime contracts to settle and several times that number of sub- contracts. Those contracts aggregate between 60 billion and 75 billion dollars: Baruch won his laurels in the first World War and he knows what billion dollars is-which is rare intellectual and tinan- cial achievement.
 A good many people wonder why Baruch stands at the top in Washington and is never attacked by his enemies. Ii he has any, or by the enemies Of the President. It is agreed in Washington that Baruch has "both statesmanlike efil- ciency and broad vision." That is why ne is TT in Washington.

Six Critical Months

Speaking before the New England Shippers Advisory Board, Joseph B. East man, Director of the Office of Defense Transportation, recently gave a compre- hensive report on the state of the nation insofar as rail transportation is con- cerned. Up to now the railroads have done job that, in the words of Mr. East man, can only be defined as "superla- tive". But the picture he paints of the future shows new problems. TranSpor- tation demands are rising steadily. The next six months will be critical Winter is approaching, with accompanying eff ciency-destroying floods and storms. A gasoline shortage is at hand, to say noth- ing of tire shortages which mean that trucks and busses will carry less and less of the transportation load The man. power problem is acute. And with re- Spect to equipment, the carriers have reached mere subsistence. level, because of inability to secure replacements.
 During the coming crisis every last ounce of effort must go into squeezing still greater service out of freight cars. In the opinion of MT. Eastman: "To get over the hump of the next six months, know that the railroads and shippers can pull their belts up notch, sit on their hands, and do bit more of the impoSsi- ble." That is the spirit that has met and mastered the transportation problem so far, and it will do so in the future provid- ing final warning from Mr. Eastman is needed by the people, "I believe that the carriers can maintain their excellent rec ord without serious flaw until the final day of victory. But tLey will need help!" The help referred to by Mr. Eastman must come from shippers and the people through every possible cooperation with the railroads, and from our elected and appointed officials.

More and Better Weapons

It is most encouraging to note that, despite the constant revision of war pro- duction schedules required by the chang ing demands of war and despite volun- tary price reductions of approximately $57,OOO,OO0 applicable to shipments in the third quarter, General Motors deliver ies of war materials in July, August and September of this year increased 11.4 per cent over the second quarter. This is a jump in dollar volume from $832, PTS ,349 to $927, 7,479,5 ,569.
 For the first nine months of this year war material products deliveries amount ed to $2, 2,525, ,280, ,753, or 2.1 times the vol uTne for the first nine months of 1942, Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., chairman of General Motors, also reports to the stockholders. Currently General Motors plants are producing war materials at a rate in excess of $1O,OOO,O ,OOO day, approximately $3,7OO,0OO,O0O year
 It is unfortunate that military secrecy precludes the measurement of war pro- auction in any other but dollar volume. For, as MT. Sloan points out, the physical volume in the third period of 1943, as in previous quarters, increased more rapidly than the dollar volume indicates, due to price reductions.
 During the third quarter voluntary price reductions in addition to substan- tial reductions previously effected were made on individual contracts, in line with the Corporations policy of reducing prices as soon as it becomes possible through the realization of cost savings. Reduc- tions in contract prices apply to future shipments as well as to shipments already made" Mr. Sloan explains.
 All of which would indicate that our American industrial genius is rolling out the weapons for our fighting forces in ever increasing volume, greatly improved quality and at constantly lower cost. Our military leaders will attest to that.

CANCER EDUCATION
(NeW York Times.)

In celebrating the thirtieth anni- versary of its foundation, the New York City Cancer committee natur- ally reviewed its own past and the status of cancer today. Though the cause of cancer is still one of medi- cines major mysteries, the record of nearly generation is gratifying. The founders of the committee, DrS. Clement Cleveland and Frederick L.. Hoffman, with whom a group of bankers and lawyers were aSsocia- ted, saw that the only hope of com- batting one of the most dreaded af- Actions was early treatment. It was therefore decided that the commit tee was to confine its activities to the education of the public. The wisdom of that decision is more ap- parent today than 1t ever was. Thirty years ago diagnosis of can- cer was regarded as a death sen- tence. Today the chances of recov- cry are good if surgical or thera- peutic aid is given early. Hence the committees persistence in driving home the importance of consulting the physician when the first Sus- picious signs appear.
 Even if biochemists, clinicians geneticists and physicians even- tually reduce mortality from cancer to something less alarming than 1t is at present, this educational work must go on. The statistics are more alarming than ever, because cancer is primarily disease of middle and old age and because the span of life has increased in the last thirty years. What the toll might have been had 1t not been for the con- mittee's educational work is enough to make one shudder. It must be gratifying to the committee as it is to physicians to realize that, despite taxation, which has imposed a heavier and heavier burden upon the philanthropically inclined, the citizens of the city show no sign of withholding the aid that they have generally given. The committee has every reason to contemplate the future with as much satisfaction as it contemplates the past.

find peace in the life of Christ was the point at which peace emerged, namely, at His crucifixion. We could readily understand the Apostle Paul if he had said that Christ by His preaching and te hing had estab- lished peace. But the New Testa- ment does not teach that the words Of any man will establish peace. not even the words Of Christ.
 We are on the wrong track as loiir as we believe that the peace of Christ arises out of what Christ saiO about peace. It has its origin

Views Of The Press

were written by Hugo von Hoff- mannsthal, Austrian and Jew: therefore, under Nazi "Kultur" aus pices, the hbrettos are by "Anon.' Shakespeare was quite obviously a German. So that's that.
 That, however, is far from being the peak of the ridiculous when it comes to Kultur's devout preten- sions. Latest political monstrosity of this kind is the discovery" that Grieg (Norwegian), Chopin (Polish) and Smetana (Czech) are in reality German composers. Therefore, in those enslaved, unhappy nations, each of which in former times had found voice for national aspira- tions, national love of liberty, in the person of three such musical giants, it is now "Plicht und Ord- nung" (Duty and Order) to play and listen to these German com posers." Although all this may ap- pear to an average civilized citizen in one of the democracies as utterly insane, actually there is a deep seated motivation behind the Nazi "Kulturpolitische" (cultural-politi- cab about-face.
 In Norway, though 1t be devas- tated and enslaved, Norwegians have gone right on whistling, hum ming and singing aloud the music of Grieg, most nationalistic of that country's composers. In Poland even in Warsaw, while the Nazis above ground listened to their fav- orite Wagner and other legitimized' composers, the Poles below ground went right on playing Chopin. A Polish violinist had himself snug gled into the condemned cell where twenty hostages were awaiting death, and there he played for them the haunting melodies of their favorite, Chopin. It cost him his life, but that was mere oversight

United States. They will find that 80 to 90 per cent of all U. s. Whis- key is in the hands of four big companies. They will also find that the Big 4 have been buying up little companies recently not merely to get their distilling equip ment but to get their unused liquor stocks.
 Even six years ago, during the TENC monopoly hearings, it was found that the Big A. Schenley, Seagrams, Hiram Walker and National Distillers produced GA per cent of all whiskey. Equally important they held 78 per cent of all A. year old stocks.
 Since then, they have been buy ing more and more companies. SeagramS recently bought Frank fort Distilleries, thereby acquiring Four Roses and Paul Jones. It is reported that National is now negotiating to buy Century. Oth- CTS which may fa11 under the drive are Brown-Forman, Bean Distil- lery and Park & Tilford.
 All this has caused the Federal Trade Commission to launch 8 quiet investigation under the Clayton Act. The Clayton Act prohibits any company from ac- quiring stock of another company to lessen competition substan- tially.
 How much cooperation there is between the Big is not known. But it is significant that one bank, Bankers Trust of N. Y., has a hold on both Schen- ley and Seagrams through loans. Schenley borrowed 27,000, 900 and Seagrams $28,000, 900. at

in a great act of sacrifice through which Christ produced peace. It was on the cross. by the shedding of HIS blood, that He made peace for man. kind and purchased divine forgive ness. Jesus did not try to talk men into a peaceful state of mind and heart; He did something involving such prodlgious consequences that the despair of mems hearts was overwhelmed by an inner assur- ance which brought peace. He set up the great spiritual principle that we have peace only when We mako it, and that we mae it throug. sacrifice.
 This principle applies to individ ,ials. but applies with equal ccgency to the life Of nations.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
When a GuY Wants a Drink

when 8 Guy wants Drink was guest at dinner the other evening where a 6-year-old child was at table. The adults had glass of water, not the child.
