A Governor Meets the Merchant

Ex-Governor Sprague of Oregon has
taken occasion to point out that: RE
tailers :. despite curtailment in manu-
featuring in many lines of merchandise,
despite annoying regulations and handi-
caps of lack of help, do manage to stay
in business Each fresh impeachment is
a challenge which somehow seems to be
met"
Millions of consumers throughout the
nation have noted, like Mr. Sprague, that
most stores somehow manage to stay in
business. Moreover, they have found the
merchants to be friendly allies in Strug-
gle to remain undismayed in the face
o. falling standard of living Their
morale has been UNNECESSARILY helped
merely by the sight of attractive show
windows which in most cases have been
kept we'll filled. Those show windows
are an eloquent testimonial to the re-
sourcefulness and stability OF our retail
distribution industry.
Retail merchant as whole are doing
their best to serve the public with ac-
customed efficiency under exceedingly
difficult circumstances. And most con-
sumers are sick and tired of the efforts
of OPA and other government agencies
to turn housewives against merchants
with broad hints that retailers must be
watched constantly or they will charge
illegal" prices. The public knows, and
it is time the government found out, that
organized retailers are the strongest bull
wark against chaos on the distribution
front.

ate here had the respect not only of his
flock but also of all others who knew him

Pacific Operations

The new offensive in the Pacific shows
that General Macarthur must have re-
ceived strong reinforcements in arma-
ment, particularly in air strength, so that
he could begin the return to Bataan that
he promised when he left there.
1t is to be hoped that, equally quietly,
powerful reinforcements are being sent
there the base for an about one-step in
vasion of the japanese archipelago. There
are strategic reasons for certain amount
of island hopping, but that is not the
way to Tokyo. Time is too short, and
human lives are too precious.

For six months Archbishop SPELL
man has been away, ministering to
a more spacious diocese. AS military
vicar to the armed forces he has
been messenger of patriotism and
piety to hundreds of thousands. An
old navigator of the air, he has
seen many countries, enriching his
already wide experience. He has
talked with soldiers and sailors,
generals and statesmen
His journey has been memorable.
We hope he has enjoyed it in spite
of the sadness which a nearer view
of war must bring to man of
goodwill, searcher for peace in
the long tragedy of history. He has
won general regard here not only as

ally has shown better perform
ances than the glider which the
Army has placed in production"
Inside fact was that the Ar
miralS themselves were not par
ticularly interested in gliders, ex-
cept indirectly for the Marines.
The Navy itself does not land
men as an attacking force, but
carries Marines for that pur-
pose.
But for time after the landing

increasingly aggressive role in the
war, acting as procurement agency
for the Marines, ordered lot of

1t was at about this time that
Allied Aviation asked the Nays
permission to approach the Army
with view of manufacturing its
superior type glider for the Army.
But the Navy said no. Since
then, this negative position has
been modified, but months later,
when it was difficult to change.
--latest development is that
quite recently the Navy drasti-
cally curtainely its glider pro-

result of all this is that the
Army has been pushing produc-
ton of the type of glider which
crashed at st. Louis, while the
Navy has almost cut out pro-

These are some Of the glider
problems which the Truman COM
mittee may investigate as a re-
suit of the tragic st. Louis crash.

The month from Sept. Is to Oct. Is
has been designated by the War Depart
ment as the time for Christmas mailing
to soldiers serving overseas. Presumably
packages and letters for sailors, marines
an dother services should be sent at least
as soon. 1t is going to be an enormous
task to distribute Christmas mail to the
two millions and more of American fight
ers scattered all over the globe. Trans
portation alone would be a problem, but
before that must come the involved cler-
ica work of ascertaining where each per-
son is, so that the mail can be properly
routed. If you want your service man to
get Christmas package from you, you
must cooperate by mailing early and OBJ
