Hare and Hounds

The private electric industry in the
United States today is like rabbit be-
ing chased by pack Of hounds-the
hounds chasing it being bureaucratic
agencies.
The rabbit turns this way and that to
escape death. The electric industry, with
the same instinct of self-preServation,
does likewise when pursued by the bu-
reaucratic hounds.
This is not pretty Illustration, but
It Is deadly parallel.
Increasing numbers OF boards and
bureaus use the war emergency" as an
excuse for seeking more ways to limit
and control private electric production.
Under the guise of correcting abuses in
utility financing, the bureaucratic hounds
started out to get" the private electric
rabbit. They constructed rabbit traps by
spending hundreds of millions of dollars
building dams, ostensibly for flood control,
navigation, irrigation, soil conservation,
ETC., but actually for the development of
Q Nreat socialized hydro-electric system.
While closing in on the private electric
rabbits, a lot Of bureaucratic hound pup
pies have been born, one breed Of which
has been called PUBS These are trained
to run down the electric operating rab-
bits in local communities, and drag in
their pelts, regardless of whether or not
local citizens want to keep some of their
local electric rabbits alive.
Thus have we seen the game Of hare
and hounds carried on by bureaucratic
agencies from the Atlantic to the Pacific
seaboard, and from the Gulf coast to the
Canadian boundary. A number Of the
electric hares have already been brought
In by the hounds, and socialized power
has been established where private enter
prise formerly existed.
The chase is on, and the hounds will
win unless the people awaken in time to
see that when the electric hares have all
been run down, the bureaucratic hounds
viii Immediately turn to other fields to
find prey for new crop of bureaucratic
puppies
The banker rabbit, the Oil rabbit, the
farmer rabbit, or any other private enter
prise rabbit will make food for the pack
once the socialized kennels are fully es-
tablished. Chasing the electric rabbit is
just preliminary to the final chase in
which the individual will be the rabbit for
the completely socialized state.

They See Alike

The medical profession is not opposed
to health programs that do not embody
ultimate elimination OF private medical
practice. The doctors are no different
than representatives of industry, agricul-
ture or labor, who oppose plans that
would place government in control Of the
economic affairs Of the individual. They
are alike in their conviction that a peo-
pie cannot lean on government too heav-
lily and still retain freedom.
For example, government-subsidized
cooperatives can give the consumer goods
"at cost. Temporarily the consumer
appears to benefit. Actually he loses,
because his neighbor is inevitably forced
out Of business the stimulant of COM
petition disappears, quality drops, and
economic independence gives way to utter
dependence on a monopolistic provider,
government.
And so itNis with medical service. The
doctors know that present high standards
cannot be maintained except under a SyS-
TEN Of private medicine. They gladly
contribute much free lime so that no one
need suffer for lack of proper medical at
tention. During the war emergency, they
are working night and day to preserve
the nations health. But they oppose
health plans that would make govern
ment the prime dispenser of medical care.

Shipping Still Critical

An impression has grown up that the
crisis in shipping Is finished, that the
United Nations have so speedeG produc-
ton and so whipped the U-boatS that we
now have more cargo capacity than Is
needed for war purposes. That is wrong.
We have done job OF Shipbuilding for
which even Hollywood press agents could
not find an adequate adjective. We have
brought the submarines well under con-
troll temporarily at least. But before the
balance was struck and the trend turned
our way, there was so great deficiency
that It will take monthS-enough months
to make years-before we shall have any
surplus of ships above real war require
ments. The popular fallacy grew out Of
haSty, ill-considered remark by official
Washington. We were told, not long
since, that the problem had ceased to be
one Of finding ships and had become one
of finding cargoes. That probably was
true at given moment. The tides Of
war wax and wane. There must be
breathing spells when the driver parks
beside the road and consults his maps.
But If it was true for few days or even
a week or so, 1t is not true generally. The
official who spoke prematurely could have
ascertained easily that the moment in
vasion activities began, our facilities once
more would be strained to the breaking
point. It will be the end of 1914 before
the Allies can hope to replace, net, their
early war tonnage losses. BY that time,
if the best qualified experts are correct,
our requirements will have increased
enormously, so that still there will be no
surplus.
We hope and to an extent expect that
by the end of 1914 the fighting in Europe
will be ended. But that does not mean
that the demands on shipping will disap-
pear. On the contrary, we must use
huge tonnage to supply the relief and re-
Mobilization needs Of the liberated victims
of the Axis, and at the same time must
provide colossal facilities to carry on the
war in the Pacific. Don't begin counting
on ample supplies of sugar, bananas,
natural rubber, spices, gasoline and fuel
oil for the east coast, or any Of the things
for which ships are needed. You won't
get them until Japan is licked.

It is heartening to read that chemi-
cal has been made that will ward off the
deadly mosquito and thereby help in the
fight against malaria among the armed
forces in such localities where this pest Is
rampant. Time and again, even here at
home during the months when these in
Sects are a scourge and an annoyance,
it is common to hear it remarked - If
only there was something that would
completely obliterate mosquitoes. At one
time the Jersey mosquito infesting the
marshes in that locality were an annual
scourge; then they were pretty well
cleaned out, but gradually they have
come back. We perhaps have no concep-
ton of what they are in jungle regions
and in localities where our fighting forces
are now stationed. 1t is most encour-
aging to know that chemical has been
made that will do away with the deadly
insect and at the same time ward off
the occasion of malaria The chemical
we speak of is still only known by num-
Der and will not be available for general
use until after the war, so hang on to the
citronella a little longer.

this for a definition: a bad man Is a
man who doesn't want to be better.
Two men may do the same evil
thing and one may be q bad man
and the other not q bad man. One
would hesitate to call anyone who
does any evil thing q good man.
Yet there Is a difference between q
bad man and the man who while
he does exactly the same thing as
his evil companion Is at heart not
really bad.
The course Of all evil Is the un-

Wreck

AS one reads the appalling headlines
that appeared yesterday following a night
of disaster he is impressed with the I'M
certainty of life and the certainty of
death. In these days of mass death as
q result of war the attention is diverted
for too short a moment to home front
catastrophieS such as occurred within the
past thirty-Six hours, the frightful train
wreck just outside of Philadelphia which
took an immense toll; the second, the
extra fare train wreck; and thirdly a
hotel fire which trapped many unfortu-
mates.
Death came quickly to many who were
victims OF one of the worst train wrecks
In the history Of the country. This catas-
trophic event climaxed, you might say,
the holiday weekend. There was little
time for those who were taken from this
life 10 think about the past, worry about
the present, or wonder about the future.
We are reminded of the title and little

Of fiction already running into numerous
pgintingS, $50 Little Time.

aents the theme In his consideration OF
past, present and future; he Is faced with

NEWSPAPERS AND DICTIONARY
FAvORITE READINGS OF
SOLDIERS

(New Haven Journal Courier)
In Reading Interests of Service
Men, an assistant librarian of the
New York Public Library describes
the preferences of service men
when they wish to fill in their leis-
ure time with reading. Top place
on the list is given to daily and
Sunday newspapers, which Is not
strange since one of the hardest
jobs in camp is to keep up on the
news Of the world. Among books.
the most popular is the dictionary,
probably because 1t helps in the
business Of letter writing and also
because it is the final authority
used In settling iIlnumerable argu-
ments over language.
Another book that the service
men turn to is the atlas. Those go
ing to other parts of the country or
the world wish to inform them
selves Of the geography beforehand.
Shelves are virtually cleaned OF
mathematics books. both in public
libraries and camp libraries. Books
Of humor have q lively circulation,
and magazines are continually cal-
led for.
Many Of the soldiers habits are
changed by the circumstances OF

initiative and free enterprise as the
cornerstone of all the other free

Unless the individual Is left free
to develop his own talents for his
own advancement and for the bene-
At of his fellow man, freedom Of
speech and freedom Of worship avail
him little with respect to freedom
from want and fear. There can be
no such thing as freedom from the

its faults but It offers much food for
thought.
SO in the general course OF events
with war, train wrecks and the like we
are constantly reminded life here In this
world is comparatively short; that life
at best Is uncertain. The very recent
train wreck brings this fact home to any
one Of us who might have been victim.
There was very little time for those who
passed on to make their peace with
God, or to give much thought to the
uncertainty Of life which they had been
enjoying, perhaps, up until the moment
Of wreck.

If the generals we're so ex-
travagant In ordering such quanti-
ties Of this old-fashioned military
material, Congressional critics say,
they ought to think twice before
going through with tremendous
army Of 10,800, 900 men. In mod
dern war, 1t Is airplanes, rot
massed footsoldiers, which have
turned the tables.
At present, a board set up by
Jimmy Byrnes to see why our ware
houses are stocked with military
equipment which may never be
used, makes this frank admission:
I'VE have SO damn many de-
mOlltion bombs that they are
running out Of our nose, eyes
and ears!"
Early in the war, we begin to
manufacture demolition bombs In
astronomical quantities, simply be-
cause the British had required
them. But now we have turned
to incendiary bombs for go to 20
per cent Of our requirements, and
the demolition bombs are choking
the warehouses.
This Is only one sample OF what
Is being unearthed very quietly
by the procurement review boards
Of the Army, Navy, War Shipping
and Lend-Lea&e Administrations
Their reports will be submitted to
Byrnes next week, but will not be
published.
Also, In the field Of Lend
Lease, you never know what your
customers may do. It's as bad as
running q department store,
where you have to take back
madam's fur coat because she
changed her mind.
Goats, for instance, were what
the British sent back. They had
ordered great quantities Of Lend
Lease overcoatS, but changed their
plans and asked Uncle Sam To
take them back.
The Russians sometimes order
masses Of goods, then change the
order, as the war changes and re-
quirements differ.
The boards which are today
reviewing this vast procurement
business have found enough sur
pluses SO that there will be more
goods available for civilian use.
