Protective Foods

What you teen ayers must
have daily are all the foods

These are three glasses Of
milk, four slices Of 100 per cent
whole grain bread, three small
pats of butter. an egg, three
vegetables - one a green leafy,
three fruitS-one Of them oranges
or grapefruit or their juices. and
serving Of lean meat, FISH or
fowl. Without those vital foods
YOU could not grow normally or

It's made Of the little things

Much Criticism Arises

Democracy has many faces. Our par
ticular brand is our own and no one here
wishes to force it on the European or
Aslatic nations. But it is hardly con-
celVable that our government can con-
sent, even under yelled threats. to any
KIND OF agreement regarding the future
OF these sovereign states.
There has been a good deal of criticism
IN the last few months from a certain
section OF the press and many intelIec-
luals because the administration has not
Smoothed out its relations with Russia.
The implication is that President R0Ose-
welt and his principal advisers in the
State Department - particularly SeCre-
tary of State Hull-have not done eyerv-
thing to please our Russian associates.
Some people even use the loathsome
word "appease.' Those who have followed
carefully the Governments policie,
in regard to the Soviet cannot see what
more could have been done. Russia, :
requests for lease-lend assistance
whether war implements. food or indus
trial materials to rebuild her factories
were answered speedily.
The fact that some of the shipment,
did not arrive on time caused some
severe complaints from the Russian gov

delays were due at the time to lack of
shipping and the intensity Of the Nazi

not have the force needed to make
successful expedition, And it can be
added that had Gen. George c. Marshall
had his own way last year, We would
have been in Western Europe today.
But our strategiStS must dovetail thei,
ideas and plans with those of our British
associates and they believed that clean
ing up the Mediterranean was of greater
immediate Importance than going into
France. But so far as this Government
was concerned the Russian pleas for a
second front in 1943 were most svm-
pathetically received. If We alone could
have taken a decision there is no oues-
ton that We would now be fighting in
France.
Criticism of Reds Stif1ed
Criticism that the Russians are ad-
herring to too strict neutrality in the
Far East has been stif1ed. And rightly
so.
The Russians were fighting a strong
enemy on their own soil and it would
have been foolish for them to give the
Japs chance to attack them. Whether
the japanese had the power to do so
Is another matter In any event we are
reconciled with the idea that Russia

OF course. all that Churchill had in
mind was that basic English" would
enable persons who knew no English to
use 1t after minimum of study, thereby
furthering international relations.
But the press winked coyly and wrote
such pieces as this, from the New States
man and Nation:
With one-half of the claim put for
ward for basic English, we are in COM
plete agreement. 1t is very easy
language for foreigner to learn. Two
weeks of hard work, as its inventor, Mr.
Ogden reckons, might suffice. The pupils

be desired. He might be tempted to
translate the idioms of his mother tongue
into 1t, with disconcerting effects

With careful little address in basic
English. Here is a good beginning. But
we are not SO sure that the Siciian would
understand Mr. Churchill with equal
ease. All the foreigner has to do is to
learn $50 words by heart But Mr..
Churchill disposes of a vocabulary that
may stretch to 250,0O0 words. We will be
modest, however, and estimate it at
100000. Now, before he left Downing
street, did the Prime Minister take the
precaution of memorizing the e9,l5O
words which he must not use?
Even if he did, will they not some
times flock unbidden to his practiced
tongue? He wishes to say, for example,
We will fight them on the edges of the
land This is impeccable basic English.
But habit is strong. Before he got to
the end of the sentence. might not the
forbidden word beaches slip in?"
To show what would happen to a
Churchill speech If the Prime Minister
had to make it in basic English, the
New Statesman and Nation takes this
phrase from Churchill's Harvard ad-
dress:

There are about 300 stops on the Ma
tlons domestic airlines today. After the

Government agency which awards air
routes, would bring direct air service to
thousands of communities not now on
routes, and add more than 350,000 miles
of scheduled airways to the Al 900 miles
over which transports now fly
Air transport, born as gh-speed
luxury service, developed naturally be-
tween large population centers because
the operators had to play for the per-
centage of traffic willing to risk the air
for the time saved
AS the safety of air travel became more
apparent, the number of flights and
scheduled stops increased. But eco
nomc factors tended to slow that ex-
pansion beyond the prime population
centerS.
Large Cities Lack Service.
Today % cities of more than 100 900
population do not have direct air trans
port service. Two of them, Trenton.
N. j., and New Bedford Mass. are not
within 25 miles of an airline stop.
Data compiled by the Air Transport
Association of America, central organi-
zation of the airline companies. shows
that scheduled plane service is provided

end Of the war seems inevitable in the
light of requests for certificates to op-
crate air services, both passenger and ex-
press.
The existing airline companies have
projected vast expansions of their do
mestic operations. Bus lines. railroads
and water carriers have formally outlined
ambitious programs for extending air
service to virtually every community in
the Nation.
More than a fourth of the 37O applica-
tons on file with the CAB relate to local
service for small communities As an
example of the completeness of such pro-
posed coverage. 25 applications relate
solely to New England.
Helicopters Are Urged.
A single applicati ton proposing the use
of helicopters, calls for 78 routes totaling
49l03 miles and touching 1.043 cities
scattered over the country. The CAB
has about 80 applications proposing the

Applications for trunk routes amount
to nearly a third of the total, but carry
smaller portion of the aggregate mileage

Harvard speech:
Let us rise 10 the full level of our
duty and Of our opportunity. and let
us thank God for the spiritual rewards

And let us go down on our knees to God

he has given for all forms of good work

Advocates of basic english say its $50

In the court proceeding the union
argued that the case was plainly labor

the union argued that it was not labor
dispute and that therefore the board
lacked jurisdiction. It was not a labor

The War Labor Board brushed aside
the unions effort to reconcile this con-
tention with the opposite position taken

involved a labor dispute within the
meaning of the War Labor Disputes Act.

case on its merits. and announced that
after receiving the panels report it would

The board is now awaiting the finding

Justice has been completely frustrated
in the Petrillo case, as in others con-
cerned with the use of labor-saving de-
vices, particular significance attaches to
the boards action. With the emergency

Puts Premium on Scheming
At the committee hearing which has
been referred to. Thurman Arnold was
asked whether union restraints of trade
like that practiced in the concrete mixer
case were common. He replied that
they were relatively rare in the labor
mon" in building and transportation.
1t was one Of the peculiarities of the
situation, Arnold added, that if the car
penters' union say, agreed with a set
of lumber dealers or building contractors
to keep out prefabricated houses, the
union would violate the law, but if the
union did the same thing for the same
purpose without any help from dealers
or subcontractors, the Carrozzo de-
cision suggests there may be no viola
ton of the law"

Thus the trucking companies, as pointed
out by Thurman Arnold in explaining
the Justice Departments impotence in
the matter to a congressional committee,
had to choose between disobeying a Fed
eral order and losing their chance to
haul building materials.
The third case in the same category
had to do with a familiar labor saving
piece of machinery-the concrete mixer
truck-and again the Supreme Court,
following the Hutcheson case decision,
dismissed an indictment procured by
the Department of Justice. In this the

Grating Engineers Union of Chicago we're
charged with preventing the sale of mix
er trucks in that city by refusing to work
on buildings or paving projects where
such trucks were employed.

if they restrained trade in doing so, they
