Don't Try to Defend
Status Quo in u. S.

If astigmatic theorists want TO
kill the system with improve
mentS" the fight should be taken
10 the people-to the housewives
who patronlze the stores, and to
the men who make and exchange
things in the industrial and COM
mercial world.
And in making il plain to Jane
and John Doe that the American
way is their special privilege, it is
important TO present the facts
candidly and effectively.
Any one who sets out TO defend
the STATUS QUO in the United
Estates is on a fools errand.
For the essence of the American
way is the perpetual striving for
change.
Thus, every intelligent business
executive knows that nothing is
permanent in life except change.
Corporations. in spending in the
aggregate hundreds of millions OF
dollars a year on research, are de-
lliberately upsetting the established
ways of doing things.
Americanism is dynamic, and is
| supplemented by the findings of
1.-The creative mind operating in the
realm of science, invention and
engineering.
Out of this forward looking
process. the typical worker,
through the years, receives more
and better things in exchange for
his weeks work,

II am a freedOm-loving. tyranny-hating

unwilling for the American farmer TO be in
the clutches of such autocratic power"
Sen. George D. Aiken of Vermont, equally
alert to and indignant about the government
muddled food problem and especially the
dairy products shortage, has spoken in the
same vein.
Noting that the administration over the
objections of Congress, is advocating a pro-
gram of federal subsidies to meet the
situation, Sen. Aiken declares that would be
toying with the health of the people"
Gen. JOHN DANAHER of Connecticut,

astrous loss of production under \agovern-
ment subsidy program proposes a practical
program to HELP farmers and to INCREASE
dairy production rather than reduce it.
All of these observant and capable legis-
lators agree that the federal government has
MUDDLED the food problem.
Rep. Boren is right that the muddling
government bureaucracy is possessed only
Of moronic understanding" about the vital
industries they control.
1t is not only the livestock and dairy
industries that have been impaired, leaving
the country without sufficient meat butter,
milk and cream.
Practically ALL essential food industries
have been similarly impaired.
The grape industry is handicapped.
The sugar beet industry is held to frac-
ton of its potential production.
1t is not shortage Of food that menaces
the country. 1t is a shortage Of brains in
government - a shortage of competent
LEADERSHIP in a power hungry and
POWER-CRAZY federal bureaucracy.

THE price administration authorities in
4 Washington have announced an increase
in ration points for butter, offering the pre-
-vaiting and increasing shortage as an excuse.
The nations consumers are well aware
of the butter shortage.
They are equally aware of the inadequate
supply of milk and cream and all dairy prod
ucts, and, in fact, of many vital food products
The dairy products shortage in the
country is appalling, and the GOVERN
MENTS INCOMPETENCE in the situation
is particularly appalling.
The governments policy seems TO be TO
hamper the dairies and eliminate dairy cows
so there will be INCREASING shortage of
butter and milk.
ID EP. LYLE BOREN of Oklahoma has
IN been so aroused by bureaucratic FUN
bling and muddling on the food front that he
has proposed dissolution OF at least one of
the offending agencies--the Commodity Credit
Corporation-and has announced his inten-
tion 10 introduce impeachment proceedings
He charges that the policies Of ECON
modify Credit Corporation have forced a
rush of cattle to the slaughtering yards
which is wiping out the cattle industry and
destroying milk and dairy supplies.
He declares the corporation to be
possessed only of moronic understanding Of
the industry whose destiny it controls"
Moreover he alleges that the corporation,
when its appropriation was reduced by Con-
gress, resorted to racketeering methods TO
keep itself in funds.

Like the man who never knew
he had been talking prose all his
life, the average housewife seems
unaware of the fact that she is a
big shot" in the business world.
Tremendous successes are built
on the simple foundations of pleas
ing the customer. On the other
hand, when the typical housewife
turns thumbs down on a product,
no influence or pressure can save
the maker from failure.
In time of peace, men at work
and their dependents consume
each the bulk of the nations pro-
duction. Hence plain folks have
most at stake in keeping the
American economic system fleXi-
BILE and progressive.

Voluntary Effort
By Business FAVORED

Therefore. those who seek,
under the guiSe of progress. TO
NEEDLE with this perpetually
evolving system are in reality re-
dictionaries, at best. They would
make the nation static, and arrest
future development and growth.
They would tend to restore the
shackles on progress which pre-
vailed under the guild system in
the middle ages.
Thus, the recent controversy
over bureaucratic and clumsy
ABC rigid grade labelling, which
was ended when Congress forbade
the OPA to impose this strait
jacketing, should be reviewed in
this setting.
No disinterested observer of
the American scene could argue
that. excellent as the long term
trend may have been, the estab-
liShed habits and methods of bust
ness men are Sancrosanct and
should not be touched or changed.
Though opposed to forcible SUBJ

but would give full opportunity
for individual modes of expression

If the makers Of better brands

The voluntary system would per-

Already reputable makers have
made progress in giving precise
information concerning the size

in can.
They will serve themselves and
the public well by carrying this
effort further.
Enlightened self interest will
encourage those with a large in
vestment in brands never 10 be
satisfied with minimum standards.
Good business lies in unceaslng
efforts TO heighten quality while
lowering cost.
Apart from the discipline of
truth telling. nothing should in
hibit sellers from fully informing
patrons concerning the nuanceS of
taste, flavor and quality in a
product.
Having defeated the threat of
rigid and inflexible bureaucratic
labelling, manufacturers should
demonstrate that they deserve
such public confidence by making
ample revelations on their own
initiative on their labels
They will find that, their Gus
toners. who are their real bosses,
will respond favorably TO such an
Improvement and will help the
businessman TO keep the economic
system free.
Having further pleased their
customers. they will have con-
solidated their recent victory in

Control Act. which forbade man
datory ABC rigid bureaucratic
grade labelling.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30
w This IS the most unusual
war of history as far as propa-
ganda is concerned.
If YOU take the Official state
mentS of our side for instance,
YOU will believe Japan cannot
be conquered for Sin years. The
admirals say so. The navy sec
Rotary, Mr.. Knox, holds press
conferences at which such views
are advertised.
The army officials give out
statements that the second
front cannot be launched for
long time, and that 1t will be a
long, hard war.
This theme is pursued by FL
mer Davis Office of War In
formation. which seems TO be
determined TO kill any opti-
mlSm.
In all previous wars I ever
heard Of. the official propa-
ganda idea was to keep every
one optimistic. In The World
War, the Civil War, and even
back beyond, the official in
Spira ton always was 10 en-
courage people TO victory and
urge them on TO their laborS.
Only in this one have the gov
eminent philosophers practiced
encouragement as an incentive.
THEY seem to think that such
tactics will inspire greater
energy among the people to do
their war work. but l wonder if
these tactics are successful. 1t
would seem to me that if the
-admiraiS =thiHi@J6PaH cannot
be conquered for six years, in
view of the superior position
which we hold, we need some
new admiralS.
L may be wrong, but il occurs
TO me Secretary Knox should
bring into his office for press
conferences those naval authori-
ties who believe Japan can be
crushed.
What I would like TO read in
some official pronouncement
from the navy saying that this
war can be won fast if the
energy of the people is devoted
swiftly to the task. At least,
that would inspire me more
than these constant statements
that things look bad, that our
trials and tribulations are TO be
extended indefinitely.
A S FAR as 1 know. IL was the
- Nazis who first developed
the policy of making their peo-
pie work harder by adopting a
long official face.
They had struggle on their
hands to arise from the SUBJ
Servient position in which their
nation was placed and they
thought they managed to get the
utmost energy from their people
by impressing upon them con-
stantly the discouraging aspects
of their position.
The same publicity propa-
ganda was practiced in England
where Dunkirk and the blltz
bombing raids naturally caused
Mr.. Churchill to take that tone.
We are bound to win, and we
know it. l cannot see why we
do not proudly proclaim the
fact and din it into the ears of
our enemies every second OF the
day. l think that would en-
courage people more, and dis
courage our enemies.

Liberal Label Plan
Should Be Rejected

Businessmen can perpetuate the
freedom, which the Taft amend
ment re-establishes, by proving
they deserve the confidence which
Congress has imposed in them.
They have an endless Job Of
meeting the changing desires of
their customers.
In wartime, when scarcities and
government requirements limit
the availability of materials, busi-
nessmen should continuously in
terpret TO their customers the
factors which momentarily lead
TO a temporary deviation from
established standards.
Otherwise sensitive housewives
will blame manufacturers for
passing deficiencies created in the
final analysis by Hitler, Hirohito
and company.

Horton O.k'S HOXie
Actor Tennis Enthusiast Himself, Gives Praise
TO Jean Hoxie, Net Coach at Hemtra annex Colony
BY MARGARET RUSSELL

Although her stars are serving
Uncle Sam. Mrs. Jean Hoxie,
coach OF the Hamtramck Tennis
Colony. isn't worried about the
net future in these parts.
In way it's repetition Of the
situation of seven years ago when
she started tennis in this com
munity. She cannot compete with
locations that have play all year
around. Still she hopes that by
starting now, as she is, right from
the bottom with a group of teen
aged youngsters she may have a
boy or girl who will receive ma
tional recognition after the war.
No little encouragement TO these
Hoxie hopefuls has been given by
Edward Everett Horton. currently
