HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
az bat do not compel"
THURSDAY. OCTOBER Z

THURSDAY, OClOoErN ~sss>z
This Is not an important day in
planetary direction. Mercury in
lbenefic aspect rules late in the eve
ming.
HEART AND HOME: Under
this configuration there may be a
trend toward unrest and war weari-
mess which should be overcome by
hard service in the industries and
tireless aid for welfare projects.
Astrologers warn of the coming
winter which will bring severe tests
to Americans. The seers emphasize
the fact that residents of the United
States have suffered little in COM
parison with the attacks sustained
by their Allies and again they warn
that some form of aggression may
be expected. The japanese will in
dulge in face saving bombings of
the Northwest and other sections of
the Pacific Coast. it is probable. ac-
cording to certain interpretations.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Because
extremes rule in the United States
there are forecasts of continued
prosperity which will prevail for
some time to be followed inevitably
by serious depression. Despite Gov
eminent safeguards difficult finan-
cial and economic forces will be
powerful in reconstruction days,
which will bring crises of reckoning
for war costs and world relief. As
trologers counsel thrift even more
emphatically than they have urged
it in recent years. Aside from en-
couragement of initiation, generous
spending prevents preparation for
the rainy day which is surely COM
ing.
NATIONAL ISSUES: This is a
favorable date for the signing of
international agreements of many
sorts. Cheering news of war pro-
gress may be expected. 1t should be
remembered that Aquarium influ-
ences are active. This means that
humanitarian ideals are to gain
greatly among the United Nations.
Although it may be some time be-
fore the brotherhood of nations is
established, glimpses of the future
should inspire courage and forth
/ tude. Coming months are to prove
nf nraofncf re 10 he
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR."
Propaganda which has been a
weapon of our enemies now will be-
come compelling power for the
United Nations. AS in the first days
after the fall of Mussolini the words
OF President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill will sway the
fNazss and the peoples whom they
have subjugated. Diplomacy will
be employed wisely through coming
crises and confidence in the prom
ises of United Nations leaders will
bring about splendid results.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of marked ad-
vantages, provided caution is exer-
cised in planning and executing re-
sponsible tasks.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be shrewd and farseeing
talented and industrious. Many will
be fond of change and travel.

members to issue a joint statement
that the proposed taxes go far
beyond what the average person
is able to pay.
One thing Republicans do need
encouragement with, and that is
their demand for economies.
Economies will not be sufficient
to serve as an adequate substitute
for higher taxes. You can't have
an economical war. Savings are
likely to be small in comparison
to the total war expenditures. Rep
Taber, minority leader of h e
Ways and Means Committee, is
talking about saving three billion
each from the Army and Navy.
two billion from the War Shipping
Administration and miscellaneous
savings of S659, 900, 000 But he es-
Inmates an unavoidable increase in
Army expenditures of four billion.
On the best showing, he can
make list of possible savings of
81, 658, 10000 out Of a prospective
budget of 100000, 900, OOO
If such economies can be made,
fine. But they do not eliminate
the need for heavier taxes, which
are urgent both to provide revenue
and to hold back initiation.

Help. But Advisedly

Naturally this nation and its people WISH
- IN their hest to relieve the sufferings OF
war-torn lands when the war is over ana
even now wherever the Axis yoke IS oelns
lifted But we should dismiss at once the IDEA
that the United States can play Santa Claus
lilo the world
Rather our effort should be centered on the
proposition that help which enables an lndl-
vidual or a country to become self-help1ul
and self supporting is best and most enduring.
If we are content to extend charity we Will
be doing nothing to restore sef-ccntdence
and self-respect among the recipients. 1t is
right. of course. TO feed the starving, as tai
as we can afford to do SO, but it will be IN
finitely better, once the worst pargs OF hunger
are satisfied to help the needy produce their
own food Dividends on charity alone are
questionable.
There is the case of devotee deeply inter-
ested in a gospel mission. He was in better
than comfortable circumstances and enjoyed
giving money away His hand was always
digging a coin out OF his pocket for any
beggar he encountered. During evening serv-
ices at his favorite mission he watched a
stumble-bun take back seat and inlnedl-
ately decided here was brand to save.
Now the tramp had felt warm air from
the missions door and because the night was
cold and he lacked the usual alcoholic fuel
beneath his belt had gone in to warm up.
The Samaritan, knowing little o. this type of
man. and being in deep sorrow for his plight
gave him dollar when the meeting ended
and promised him another every night he
returned,
That was in the day of free lunches. A
dollar a day meant luxury to the bum. He
came back regularly and as often as he left
he had a fresh dollar in his hand Just as
naturally he fed at bars and got more and
more sodden with drink. and finally died in
a charity hospital-vctm of easy money
Maybe he never could have amounted to
much, He was pretty far gone when he fell
heir to this unmerited beneficence But there
is chance that the Samaritan might have
done something credtable for him if, instead
Of backing him in his evil habits he had
found JOB for him and gradually guided
him back to usefulness.
The United States needs to move warily
in its dealings with impoverished countries,
lest it go as far wrong the mission devotee
did in the case of his stumble-bum

Turkey Reported Ready

1t has been long understood that Turkey
would enter the war against the Axis when
the Russians crossed the Dnieper and the
Mediterranean was restored to Allied domi-
nation. Now that both specifications have
been met, it is reported mat Turkey is ready
to fulfill her pledge whenever hec services
are most needed for Allied victory.
Turkey help cannot take the tcIm Of heavy

quately armed or sufficiently framed. But free
passage across her territory, at the right

With German influence in Bulgaria weaken
ing and the people generally IN the verge
of revolt against the Nazis, an Allied advance
across the Turkish frontier might reasonably
be expected to find the way we'll prepared
for success. But it is not easy to set date
for such an operation
Crete still stands athwart the Allies route

islands, is still occupied by Axis forces and
it is not certain that the British will be able

Harold Ettlingers The Axis on
the Air is a complete and thor
oughly sane analysis of the Ger
mans propaganda in the ether.
He not only explains how the So
called "bloodless victories" were
pulled off, but he picks out some
important new tendencies in the
nasty little plans of Herr Goeb-
bells. One of these is his fanatic
lrsistence that Hitler shall have

lean lend-lease goods without proper notation
in their ledgers
If the situation is correctly stated rem
edy must be found quickly. The United States
and Great Britain cannot afford to permit
grudges to spring up between their peoples
which could result in dscord at the peace
table and later. 1t is upon these two world
powers that the responsibility for establishing
and maintaining just peace when the war
is over will devolve. They cannot do it unless
there is ffty-ffty square deal between Wash
ington and London and complete harmony
among the citizens on both sides of the At
lantic.
There is the matter of oil distribution. Thus
far it has devolved upon the United States to
keep itself and its allies supplied despite the
fact that Middle Eastern fields are now &C.
cessible and under British control 1t is rea-
sonable to expect Great Britain to get petrol
cum from Iraq and Iran into war zones and
lessen this burden. President Roosevelt has
said that Great Britain has wanted to pour
more oil into the war but could not do so
until the Mediterranean was safe for Allied
tankers. Now that the enemy has lost control
of the Mediterranean it is fair to assume
that Britain will fulfill her good intentions.
1t ought to be possible too to get more raw
rubber from the Orient as suggested, since
commerce lanes across the Pacific and through
the Indian ocean are comparatively f r e
from enemy interference and permanent
hold must be had on airfields we have built
abroad.
These are matters which demand attention
and for which cures may be found if our own
foreign policy is readjusted to match Great
Brtain's.
