Bureaucrat's Dream

Humanitarian idealiSm often outStrips
common sense. Such is the case with
plans for compulsory health insurance.
Perhaps the most startling revelation
contained in the Northwestern University
report on compulsory health insurance,
is the extent to which bureaucracy would
expand under a government health in
Surance program. AS the report observes,
there are between so and SIS million gain
fully employed persons in the United
States at the present time. This, with
members of families and dependents,
would swell the number of potential ben
eficiaries to over 100 million, depending,
of course, upon the type of coverage
embraced in the system. Approximately
100000 cases would receive medical
attention each year in the United States.
All of these cases would have to go
through the process of certification, fill
ing, inspection, payment, complaints, and
adjustments. If an adequate staff and
organization were provided, it would mean
an army of government employees.
In the words OF the report: ITO prac-
tical politicians . . such an expansion
in the number of Federal employees means
primarily one thing, namely, patron
age; patronage for whatever political
organization may happen to be in power
and a patronage that would surpass any
thing that politicians have dreamed of
in the past"
Congress is struggling to curb bureau
cracy, well knowing that unless 1t IS
curbed the American form of govern
ment will be destroyed A broad compul-
sorry health insurance program would
make the bureaucratic menace virtually
uncomfortable.

Permanent Peace Is Possible

Future world peace depends to large
extent upon the United States pro-
viding we do three things: First, keep
our faith with the American capitaliStic
system by allowing individuals and bus
ineSSeS to survive with sufficient earnings
to maintain private jobs in free enter
prise; Second, actively participate in
world affairs; Third, lead the way in
broadening the flow of international
trade
The first is essential to peace because
the alternative to free enterprise is state
socialism, and state socialism leads to
war. The dictators have proved that.
The second is essential because our CO.
operation is necessary to enforce just
peace. The third is essential because
nations tied together by trade are far
less inclined to fight.
Every effort must be made to awaken
people to the fact that our leadership
is sorely needed in the creation of las
ing peace and new era of trade, just
as every effort must be made to awaken
the people to the fact that all of us have
a common interest in the maintenance
of the free enterprise system.
In pleading for such leadership Clark
H. Minor, chairman of the National For
eign Trade Council, says: ''When we
look over the economic record Of the past
and see the ravages caused by war =.
we must be convinced that the establish
nlent of permanent peace would be SO
beneficial to every inhabitant of the
world that there is hardly any immediate
sacrifice which we could be called upon
to make which would not be repaid
thouSand-fold.
He further declared: THAT We and
every country may enjoy the fruits OF
the particular aptitudeS of other nations,
of their particular natural resources,
requires that no barriers shall be placed
in the way of our access to such fruits
/ This means intelligent and courageous
. action with respect to tariffs, exchange
regulations and all the E. unnecessary
impediments which now restrict the flow
of goods. .. Our country has the least
to fear from being leader toward treer
world trade With our total foreign
business representing such a small per-
centage of our total trade, and with our
resources of such great richness, we are
surely the best situated to take the lead
in program benefiting not only ourselves
directly, but all other civilized nations" AS
step toward international leadership,
the council has urged the renewal OF the
Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act, This
act has opened the door to commerce and
enduring peace. The door should not
now be closed.
Peace, trade and free enterprise are
dependent upon each other, and the
freedom of mankind depends upon the
maintenance of all three.

CONNECTICUT'S TREES
bridgeport telegram

Would it surprise the citizens of
New Haven, city of "Old Elms and
new IDEAS TO know that their old
elms were not heritage from John
Davenport's time but were of rel
atively recent planting? Anyone
fortunate enough to who a first

fact for himself for the clergyman

In fact the Rev. Mr.. Barber S
historical essays, written or revised
about 100 years ago, give convinc-
ing proof that nearly all of Con-
necticut's old trees are OF relatively
recent origin.
The state has been in the process
of settlement for more than 300
years, but during the first 200, tree
destruction seems to have been the
rule. An early voyager to Connecti-
cut who landed near the mouth of
the Housatonic river and climbed

completely clothed with magnifi-
cent trees except for the river val

The early settlers had to clear
land before they could plant crops
and this was slow, laborious work
So they looked upon trees as their
enemy though trees in fact pro-
vided both shelter and fuel.
BY the beginning of the 10Th CEN
fury the state had been completely
denuded of most of its trees and
was farmed intensively. That fact
too can be verified by those who
will look through patches of sec.
ond growth timber for the old stone
walls which almost invariably run
through them What is now forest
was once farm land.
We have just come to realiza-
ton that we cannot denude a state
of its trees without doing serious
damage to its people and without
robbing future generations Of theil
rightful heredity-an equable eli
mate, brooks that run free and colo
in the summer time and do not
flood the banks In spring; and the
priceless protection of the trees for
the surface of our soil and as shell
ter for our vanishing wildlife. The
present program of the State Park
and Forest Commission, to reforest
at least 100000 acres under state
patronage and to encourage private
forest owners to do likewise is O
definite step toward the restora-
! ton Of Connecticut heritage.

THE EVOLUTION OF DOODLING
(New York Herald Tribune)

How dooling has changed! This
observation is caused by the news
from Boston that Mr.. John w.
Stokes, president of the Massachu-
sets Restaurant Association, has
urged that customers stop doodling
on tablecloths for the duration.
Mounting labor and laundry costs,
he says, make this ancient practice
more wasteful than ever. His plea
Is plausible, of course, but does he
know much of the history of dood-
ling in this country?
Well, as a starter, we can go back
to the days around the turn Of the
century. Mr.. Get-Rich-Quick Wal
lingford, the amusing fictional viii
lain created by Mr.. George Ran
dolph Chester, used to doodle on
tablecloths while cooking up his
grandiose swindling schemes. Like
wise, Mr.. John w. (Bet Million)
Gates whose favorite hangout was
the old Waldorf, used up many a
tablecloth outlining with a pencil
his ideas of how a lot of money
could be made.
But 1t was in the 192O's that
doodling really came into its own.
Mr.. George l.. (Tex) Richard used
to sit for hours drawing diagrams
illustrating how he hoped to get a
million dollars, or more, out of a
prizefght. And the spectators from
Wall street must have ruined a
million tablecloths. In that period,
also, great many theatrical pro-
ducers. with strange dreams whirl-
ing in their brains, used to etch
many gaudy pattern in the clubs
and restaurants uptown. David Be-
lasco, Morris Gest, Sam H. Harris,
George M. Cohan - they'll all gone
now, but all were inveterate dood-
lers. And it is sad to reflect that
many of those blueprints for for
tunes were gone forever with the
next batch Of laundry.

EYE FOR AN EYE
John G. Winant, U. S. am
bassador to Great Britain, thinks
we can fight this war without
hating the enemy. In fact, he
thinks we can fight it better with
out hating the enemy.
Winant is impressed by the fact
that the British tried q hate
campaign" then abandoned it. One
of the voices expressing strong
est opposition to the campaign
was the commanding general Of
the British forces in England,
Gen. Bernard G. T. Paget.
Winant believes - together with
the recent Archbishop Of Canter-
bury, DR.. Cosmo Lang, who made
this point in a public address
that there is a clear difference
between revenge ana retribution
One is an act of returning evil
for evil, the otner is punishment
for evil.
According to this view, a man
can be a better soldier if he has
an exalted notion of his cause,
rather than mere hatred of the
enemy.

begin to melt off some of the slack
er flesh they're been carrying

to take a new interest in life or
rather in living.
On such observations I have
based my conclusion that the
woman who does all of her own
housework gets enough exercise,
that is, if she has any family at all.
I was about to sound off that

everything from washing to polish

that it doesn't exercise all of the
muscles but only certain muscle
groups. Now, as have often as
serted, walking does use all of the
muscles-I have called it the best
daily exercise any one can take. So
argues the Young Snip, the woman
who wants to keep in good shape
whatever that may mean-should
not try to live by housework alone.
She should get out for hike every
day, even if it is only a mile or
two. Remember, says the Young

Winters long portage is over;
Willow buds are quick, a-quiver;
Now the angler-panting lover!-
Seeks his paradise, the river.
Sun-brght rifles, glinting ever!
Dark, still pools, whose depths discover
Fontinalis, fins-a-shiver,
Fan for flies when matches hover!
Past those patterned months that hover
Bleakly pent-up yearning over!
Songs of whirring reels discover
Homespun oft may hide rover!
Skies grow bright, though clouds may cover;
Dreams are spun no Fate may sever;
Seeking trout, the mettle-prover,
Blissfully man Wades the river

About II years
ago, the Gamers
themselves ap-
pealed to the old
Food and Drug
Administration to
put the lore of
food processing
on paper and re-
duc'e technical de-
tails of color, con-
tent, degree of
perfection and
unifor m ity to
fixed standards.
The motive of
the Gamers in
taking thic cten
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-05-01

was one of Self-intereSt. After the
crop was put up, the Gamers wanted
to go into bank and borrow mon
ey on their seasons output, pending
sales. If there were recognized quail
| ity standards, it would be easier to
set value on the stock and finance
loans accordingly. The A or Fancy,
B Or Choice and C or Standard
grade designations were thus first
used by the trade without necessar-
| lily appearing on the label of each
can.
Food and drug experts labored
long and diligently TO write these
original grading standards. An at
tempt was made to set up grade
labelling as part of the law in the
New Deals famous Tugwell bill, but
that was defeated.
STANDARDS NOW REQUIRED
Then in its place there was passed
the Copeland bill now known as the
Food. Drug and Cosmetics act,
which set up without grade labelling
the standards of purity now re-
quired on all canned goods entering
interstate commerce after July l.,
1910. Seven foods are now covered
-apricots, cherries, fruit cocktail,
peaches, pears, peas and tomatoes.
Consider the standards of quality
required for tomatoes: The con-
tents of the can must be SO per cent
tomato meat, all tomato material
with no water added. The tomatoes
must be ripe. They must be peeled
and there must be no more than
one square inch Of peel per pound.
There may not be more than one
fourth square inch of blemiShes to
the pound. They must meet a min
imum standard Of uniform red color.
If goods fail to meet this standard
they must bear prominent label
statement, Below Standard Quality
Good Food Not High Grade"
Those standards of quality are prob
ably higher than most home Gamers
set for the stuff they put in their
own kitchens.
PROPOSED STANDARDS
Getting over into the proposed
standards for grade labelling it is
found that whereas Grade A. to-
matoeS may have one-fourth square
inch of Flemish per pound, Grade
B may have one-half square inch
and Grade C may have up to one
inch. Colors, determined by spec
troscopic analysis and comparison
to color chart, may be little off,
ooaJ WOW I,a q 1ittl,s m GRO oYI en- m
But add to these differences all
the other requirements Of the Food,
Drug and Cosmetics act on sanitary
preparation, absence of foreign mat
ter, coloring or addulteration, and
you have a pretty formidable safe
guard for the consuming public and
the honest manufacturer. The pen
alties for misbranding by the way,
are adequate, 10 say the least, in
volving seizure and condemnation
of product, fines, and so on.
What the cannery people fear Is
that the imposition of grade label
ing on top of these standards al
ready in force under the Copeland
bill will so complicate their process
es in this year of extra demand All
short labor supply that they may
not be able to put up enough foods
to meet their goals.
House committees on agriculture
and small business and OPA inves-
tigation having registered their dis
approval of grade labelling at this
time, however, Price Administrator
Prentiss Brown has indicated that
he will not go against Congress and
may not enforce grade-labeling Or
