Now came the question of the money: 1t
couldn't be returned. penny for penny and
dime for dime, so it was used as a nucleus
for libraries for the public schools Of the
United States That's exactly how they
started
Yes, it's truly astounding what let
ter will do - and sometimes amusing
too. Do you remember the letter little
girl wrote Abraham Lincoln during his
Presidential campaign? She said she
thought he would look better if he wore
beard. The letter was honest sincere, and it
struck home. From that day on, President
Lincoln wore a beard. And all because a
little girl felt something to be true and put
it onto paper and then put the paper into
the mails.
The encouraging thing is that we can all
make ourselves heard, if we have convictions
and if we'll write them. or speak them, or
print them or radio them. These are chang
ing days - vital days soon the peace will
be upon us - great issues are at stake Yes,
these are the very days for each of us to
make himself felt Write your newspaper,
write your congressman, telegraph your
senator, keep on his trail until he hears you.
You may have something big. No voice is
really small - in Democracy.

The next day, when the letter was pub
lished. he felt pretty proud. He'd done
something to make his small voice heard
But he hadn't any idea what resounding
boom it was going to make. The following
morning there was banging at the door,
and when w. Rankin Good (the boy who
wanted to make himself heard went to the
door, two postmen were outside - and so
were seven bags of mail. The boy opened
his knife and flew into the letters. and when
he counted up the pennies, nickels and
dimes there was 81 200 heaped on the
dining table Rankin Good was just about
the most astonished boy in Cincinnati.

kept on echoing. The newspapers took up
the idea and published stories about Rankin
Good and his table heaped with letters and

country - 10000 boys and girls plugging
for the idea contained in that letter The
result more postmen at the door. Here was

Dark Days Ahead

Warnings against over optimism,
from high military and naval sources,
have been intensified of late. They do
not seem to have much influence upon
the lay public, but they should. The
generals and the adnlirals are not build
ing up alibiS for themselves, nor do
they enjoy being Cassandras. They are
doing what most insiders think is only
their solemn duty.
Fortunately, the brass hats are per-
mitted to be bit more specific now
than formerly. They do not have to
stop with pointing out the number OF
statute miles that separate our advance
troops from Tokyo and Berlin, but are
allowed to give us some idea of the per1lS
that pockmark those statute miles.
Hitler has replaced and equipped the
20 divisions lost at Stalingrad. The Nazi
army is bigger than ever. The Luft-
waffle is stronger than it was in 1889.
The number of workers in German fac
tories has risen by IL millions, or Slight
ly more than so per cent.
Sixty-ton Tiger tanks are appearing
In ever-increasing numbers against both
Anglo-AmericanS and Russians. They
aren't the invincible weapons the NaziS
expected or our laymen feared, but neither
can we scott at them. The Germans have
a new rocket gun that is giving us plenty
of trouble The rocket bombs are going
to require our vaunted ingenuity TO
offset.
The German food ration is better now
than at the outbreak of the war.
In the Far East we are 5000 miles from
Tokyo and have not yet reached the real
Strongholds of Japanese resistance.
The Japanese still have some 2,000,-
900 men of military age whom they have
felt no need to call up, and as many
more in the II to 20 age group available
when needed. Their air strength Is in
creasing both numerically and quail
tatively. Pilot training has been stepped
up. They are developing the economic
and military resources they took from us,
the British and the Dutch in 1912.
Are these just the Nightmares of an
armchair strategist? Not at all. They
are facts collected by Allied military and
naval intelligence, made public by the
chief of American Military Intelligence,
Major General George V. Strong.
Some of the things he didn't tell the
public made strong men go home and toss
ir their beds.
Don't fall for this war-over-before-
Christmas talk. It's the mullarkey.

g. d. Accepted AS From Gods
Hands :"

The Catholic Transcript calls atten-
ton this week to "a notable document"
Pope Plus KITS most recent encycllcal,
which deals with the doctrine Of the
Mystical Body of Christ The paper
prints the entire document and urges It's
subscribers to read it and study it, since
at this particular time it is highly per-
tinent to the crisis OF our age"
At this time the whole world is con-
cerned with the Pope and the fate OF
Rome. Regarding himself and Rome the
Pope is, perhaps, the calmeSt, though
saddest, of persons in the world today.
He will accept with resignation whatever
e0GleS to pass. The impressive words OF
sne Pope will bear reading and re-readlng,
S&ragraph by paragraph, and it is quite
likely that many outside the Roman Cath
Ollie church will read the Holy Pontlff's
words
The Transcript describes it as "doc-
ument of grandeur, strength, and practlc-
allv of rare order /. i. It deals with doc
trine of the greatest sublimity, and one
that is particularly pertinent to an age
which has seen the atomization OF So
ciety followed by attempts at an exter-
icrly induced and inorganic collectivism.
The divinely ordained answer to Society's
present needs lies in the teachings OF TINS
encyclical."
And as the tranquil yet forceful words
o. the Pope are being read the enemy Is
preparing, so it is anticipated, to destroy
That great center of Christianity, Rome,
ana the safety of the Pope is problemat-
cal. But those who are the most excited,
.he most viturperative and vehement in
announcements of the Nazis are far away
from the scene OF action. The Pope will
have no thought Of personal sufterings
which he may experience. Early IN the
Nncyclical he speaks Of the persecution
Of the human race similar TO the perse-
cuklon Of It's founder, Jesus Christ, words
which are pertinent TO what Is going on

impractical. As q result, Secre-
tary Stimson ordered its construc-
ton stopped. However, Gen. H.
b. Somervell later was able to
proceed with 1t and the line is now
more than half built.
Recently the truman Com
mittee sent q delegation Of
three senators TO Alaska and
they have brought back an ex-
tremely critical report. They are
in doubt whether the pipeline
can be finished In time to serve
any real military value in AL
aska. When finished, they
doubt whether IL will be able to
move oil at temperatures Of 70
degrees below zero. Finally they
are not sure that there Is too
much oil in North Canada TO
pump anyway.
The senators also report that
oil prospectors are now busy in
North Canada looking for oil-at
government expense. They also
report that although the cost Of
the pipeline was supposed to be
$31 100000, actually the cost Of
the entire project will be many
times that much. They cannot
get q figure from the War De-
partment as yet, but 1t Is whis-
pered that 1t may run as high as

Lawyer Shortage

A law school head complains that a
serious shortage of lawyers is on the way,
because of presnt educational emphasis
upon mechanical and physical sciences.
We are not worried. 1t would be
splendid thing if there were many fewer
lawyers. This is not reflection upon
lawyers as class, although we do be-
lieve that lawyer shortage would stop
a lot of needless legal pickering. Rather
it is a matter of realism.
Before the war, in most large cities
and many smaller, there was such an
oversupply OF attorneys that only the
topnotchers could make good living.
Many would have earned more as farm
hands. The pressure of their poverty
impelled toward unethical practices.

Racial Discrimination

Twenty-Five railroads and is labor
unions are on trial before the Presidents
new Committee on Fair Employment
Practices on charges that they discrimin-
ate against Negroes.
The Southern Railroad, operating in
the southeast, states the problem clearly
and realistically in its reply brief. 1t has
never employed Negro locomotive en-
gineer because that would have been "bit-
terly resented" by its clientele.
The fact is as the railroad states. "Such
problems, the railroads joint reply re-
marks, Cannot be solved overnight by a
stroke of the PEN" Nor can the railroads,
which must earn money in order to sur
vive, be expected to defy the sentiment OF
the areas in which they operate. The
long-run approach must be through edu-
cation, social evolution, civic reform.

that production shall proceed re-
gardless Of demands by the military
for more men and women. the
employment Of women In the armed
forces is predicated on the release OF
men from duties that the women
can fulfill SO that the fighting forces
shall be strengthened. Defense OF
the proposed pre-Pearl Harbor
drafting Of fathers rests solely upon
the necessity Of building up military
personnel to the numerical status
decided upon by the Chief OF Stan.
The Fitzgerald edict, therefore, runs
directly counter to that declared
objective.
Furthermore, 1t may well be asked,
by what authority does the War
Manpower Commission forbid the
soliciting Of enlistments? We are
confronted with the unique situa-
ton of having the Selective Service
Act compel the taking Of men from
vital war production areas already
suffering from shortage OF labor.
and then having another agency
step in to say that no enlistments
shall be sought. Such conflicting
authorities serve only to confuse
the public mind.
Admittedly there Is much merit
in Mr.. Fitzgerald's argument that
production must be kept at the
highest level II we are TO provide

people of the conquered lands azs-

NEwsPRINT PAPER
lNew York Timesl

There have been reports that one
school Of thought in Washington
would solve the threatened wood
pulp shortage by cutting drastically
the size Of newspapers. We are told
that British publishers get along
very well with four-page newspapers,
and the statement, In one sense, Is
true. British publishers make plenty
Of money producing four-page
sheet, for which they receive the
same price as formerly, when they
sold real newspaper. Now, however.
they are reduced to presenting brief
news bulletins and little more. No
British newspaper today can pub
lish full reports Of the war, or Of
parliamentary debates, or Of the
action of the financial markets.
Most Of the conforming articles
which help democracy work out its
way Of life are missing. So, too, are
the advertisements which are an
indispensable part Of the system
Of free enterprise.
It is therefore reassuring to note
that those who advocate this solu-
ton Of the newsprint problem In
the United States are making little
progress and that, instead, the chief
officials Of WPB, who have all along
recognized the essential part that
newspapers play in the life Of a
democracy, are now doing their best
to increase the supply Of wood pulp
from which newsprint paper is made.
This is particularly necessary since
so many front-line uses Of wood
pulp are placing an increasing drain
upon diminishing supply.
A Congressional committee, head
ed by Representative Boren, has
focused attention on the Canadian
aspect Of the question. 1t is hoped.
that as q result the Canadian Gov
eminent will direct further man
power to the essential task Of cut
ting wood for an essential indus

The significance Of the results Is
two fold. First, the American peo-
pie have again served notice on
both their friends and their enc
mics that they are backing the war.

At home the response to the
Third War Loan should smother
any thought Of compulsory savings
AN unAmerican idea that has been
entertained n the minds of some Of
those who plan the financing Of the
war. The argument against compul-
sion Is further strengthened by the
fact that the subscription Of seven
teen billions for bonds practically
conceded with the income tax pay
ment Of September is amounting to
approximately eight billions. A
people who can put IS billions into
their treasury in the short space OF

Selected Poem
TIE Al CLUB BOY is cALLED-ls4s


I'M A. F. in Hartford Times Poets Corner
The pastures of New England now
Are velvet and meadow marigold-
And feed for cattle that winter long
Were sent and sheltered from the cold;
The woman has swung the awkward gate,
And filings her apron up to rout
Them through the lane. Slowly they STIR.
Still lingering for the tall boys shout;
And, drifting with random wind
The measure of their sweet green seas,
Untroubled hear the stormy wings
OF war, above the pasture trees.
At milking-time, of late. they've missed
The mild persuasion; they know the fault
Is never the strong young hand that smootheo
Their silky flanks, and held their salt.
Vagrantly wondering perhaps,
They follow at shutdown toward the lane;
But the flute and fall Of his yodel call
some spring-please God-they'n hear again.

(nartford Courant)

The State Manpower Director,
william J. Fitzgerald. has forbidden
the WACS to campaign for recruits
in the six man-power shortage areas
of Hartford, Bristol New Britain,
Waterbury, Bridgeport and Meriden.
THE Army will have 10 decide
whether they want the materials or
war first, or the men and women

comment.

notice TO the Army that he intends
