Views OF The Press

sive tragedy of Europe.
But as stern retribution marshals
its forces; as each day brings word
of some new seat of Nazi or Fascist
power blasted from the skies, and
the great air fleets move to strike
the chains from the enSlaVed, there
is a battle hymn of this republic,
whose sons have joined with free
men everywhere in trampling out
the vintage Where the grapes of
wrath are stored. There is power
in the simple rhythms of that
hymn; its slow swing suggests the
pictures that the words of Julia
Ward Howe set forth-of armies
weaponed with justice and infleXible
resolution; of "a fiery gospel writ in
FURNISHED rows of steel" In it
speaks the deep moral sense of
America, that underlies its trivial
tiles and superficial reverence
that, truly awakened, is irresistible.
One wonders if the German and
italian people are familiar with
THE Battle Hymn of the Republic"
Perhaps it would be well to trans
late it for them, as literally as can
be, and let them catch a glimpse
of the watch fires of the circling
camps that are drawing ever closer

HELICOPTERS FOR SHIPS
New York Tines

1t is good news that the War De-
partment has found, upon test, that
new anti-submarine weapon is
available in the heliCopter. Expert
ments made on Long Island Sound
this month from deck space only
78 by 48 feet have now sufficiently
proved" the feasibility of operating
helicopters from the decks of tank
ers. Therefore small decks will be
installed on Liberty ships to permit
the use of helicopters at sea. The
British already have adopted the
helicopter for convoy work.
The value of this unique aircraft
in its present stage of development
has been questioned because of linn
tied load-carrying capacity. 1t has
already shown, however, that it can
carry enough weight in addition to
its pilot to equip it with depth
charges. Even if it carried no bomb
load, however, but only applied its
slow-fying and lowering abilities to
exact observation and spotting, it
should play an important role in
protecting the bridge of ships. Able
to fly at several times the speed of
a merchant ship, it could maintain
constant patrol except for brief pc
RODS of refueling. The revolution
airy character of the helicopters per-
Torrance suggests wide usefulness
not only in combating the subma-
rine menace but in many other
fields in naval and military patrol
service.

The BOYS of 1861-1943

The spirit of several wars, from the
Civil, or War Between the States, to and
including World War II, will again be
generated tomorrow, Memorial Day, as
programs and parades are featured IN
every city, village and town. Today we
seem far removed from the Civil War
days stories of which come to us from
fathers, mothers, grandfathers and grand
mothers. Many families possess precious
keepsakes such as medals, badges, mus
kets, and uniforms. And sad to relate
the keepsakeS from present war casual
ties are accommodating. Those men who
fought the bloody battles of Antietam and
Gettysburg seem, to the younger gener-
alton, like shadoWy figures from dim
past.
On the contrary, how near they are
to us strikes us forcibly every year at this
time when we read of men here and there,
in our own locality, who actually had
part in the Civil War activities. There are
not too many of them left, but some still
survive who experienced the horrors OF
war in charged battles south of us, and
who have lived to see their descendants
become part of subsequent wars, and like
wise to see the modernizatiOn Of war
equipment and procedure.
Pictures in a New York newspaper this
week reminded us that though time is
fleeing, it also advances at a moderate
speed. The pictures in question showed
five greater New York survivors of the
Civil War who will lead the Memorial Day
parade They look back on the start OF
The war of that day, eighty-tWo years ago,
and doubtless they wonder great deal
about wars. The ages of the five are
ninety-nine for four of them, ninety
seven for one, and one hundred years Tor
one. Our boys today who are actively
engaged in strenuous war pursuits on the
land, in the air, and on the sea, visualize
the veterans of World War I as pretty OLD
veterans. What must they think about
the ages of this diminishing vanguard OF
Civil War days?
This wear as never before Memorial Day
brings tears to our eyes. Again those at
home start to collect the souvenirs, think
about them, weep about them, praying as
they weep and weeping as they pray.
Perhaps those remaining gentlemen who
wore the blue or the gray looking back
on their young soldier life recOllect when
they did not visualize war twice in
twenty-five year span which would take
for service the rank and file OF our Amer
lean boys Their sons and grandSonS,
and great-grandsons, and great-great-
grandsons, have marched again, and
fought again, sailed again, and are now
flying again. The sons, brothers, rela-
tives and friends of all of us are at it
again. The war business goes on. We
decorate the graves again with fitting
ceremony. The first Memorial Day was
in May, 1868. When all is said and done,
it is indeed brief span since 186l-1865,

II shall hear again in heaven"
An affliction is always hard to
bear, and it cannot truthfully be
maintained that Beethoven always
bore his affliction with equanimity.
Sometimes he lost his patience and
cried out angrily against what he
considered the adverse works OF fate
This attitude of his was probably
responsible for the fact that he eX-
perienced so much unhappiness
apart from his affliction. Few men
have had more to be proud of in life
than did Beethoven, and yet few
men have enjoyed life less than he
did.
Yet some of the worlds greatest

Among those who observed birthdays
this week were the queen mother of Eng
land, mother of King George vi, and the
Dionne quintuplets who have now reached
the age of nine years. Such events as
these are passed over lightly these days.
Birthdays of the quints were big news as
they progressed from one to two, three
and upwards, At nine they are still the
wonder of the decade but we have grown
accustomed to them as extraordinary. The
queen mother Mary at seventy-six has seen
many changes in the last decade in her
immediate family. She lost two sons one
through separation, the other by death in
an airfight since the start of the war.
She has had to face sorrows and accept
hard things as is the case with less i'm
portant persons. The quintuplets at nine
will see a new world in the making, per
haps the accomplishments of great
things. The queen mother looks back at
a world that was shattered many times
and perhaps still has hopes for peace
full future at the age of seventy-six years,

1t Isn't Funny

Thousands of Army post canteenS are
operated by the government on the same
principle as the private retail industry
operates. The men in the service who
now receive the benefits of mass mer-
chandising from a government agency,
received the same benefits in civilian
life from the modern retail merchant.
The government instituted the "chain
technique" in the post canteens to assure
service men steady flow of necessities
at fair prices.
Distribution of necessities to the armed
forces is justly considered an essential
activity. The question can fairly be
asked, is not distribution of goods to
civilians equally important? Every war
worker must eat and wear clothes before
he can build planes and ships. The retail
distribution industry is the channel
through which the food and clothes must
flow. Retailing is complex, highly de-
veloped business. Every merchant must
be a skilled technician in a particular
branch of that business. Today he is
serving in a double capacity. Not only
must he feed and clothe civilians, he
must also make price and rationing
measures working realities. The spectre
of uncontrolled initiation would be re-
vealed with stark clarity, but for the
efficiency of retail distributors.
In spite of the vital character of retail
merchandising, it's problems have been
treated indifferently. Freezes and di-
receives from Washington fall like hail
stones, any one of which can spell death
to enterprise that took a lifetime to Gre
ate Some people even think it funny
when smart lawyers in Washington figure
out $64 questions for the hapless mer-
chant, with heavy fines and imprison-
ment the penalty for wrong answer.
Retailers are doing their utmost to
serve consumers efficiently. In return,
they ask comnnon-sense regulations and
a minimum of skilled manpoWer. The
country will suffer in direct proportion to

ing the trade question. The real issue
is peace or war. Idealism and isolation
won't prevent war. That was proved
after the last war. War can only be pre-
vented by good business relations be-
tween nations. And now is the time to
promote those relations by renewing the
Trade Agreements Act in June.
We hear a lot of talk about daring
plans for a new world There is no bet
ter place to be daring than in the pioneer
ing of trade relations. If we are not dar-
ing, if we stick to old-fashioned, tight
listed methods of bargaining with for
eigners," we can begin training the
army of 1865 as soon as it gets out of
diapers.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-05-29
Practice What We Preach

Many opponents of the reciprocal trade
policy instituted by this country under
the Trade Agreements Act, feel that
agriculture has been sold down the
river" They believe that our trade
agreements with other nations have re-
suited in letting down tariff barriers on
agricultural imports, while manufacture
ing industries received most of the export
benefits. AS matter of fact the result
of our trade agreements with other cOun-
tries under the reciprocal trade program
should satisfy the shreWdeSt farmer
Countries with which we have such
agreements have granted import conceS-
Sions on 1879 per cent of the agricultural
products our farmers sell to them, IN
contrast with concessions on 405 per
cent of non-agricultural goods sold to
them by our manufacturers. Moreover
agricultural exports from the United
States to the 16 countries with which
agreements were effective for the year
ended June 3d. 1889, were Is per cent
higher than 1886; in same period eX-
ports to non greement countries declined
by 10 per cent.
In the case of imports, duties had been
reduced up to 1889 on only 1916 per cent
OF our agricultural purchases from
obroad - close to half of this figure repre-
senting Cuban sugar - compared with
reductions amounting to 23,4 per cent on
other imports. 1t is worth noting that
many of the agricultural concessions
made by the United States are relatively
insignificant, especially when restrictions
by tariff quotas are considered.
The Trade Agreements Act has brought
financial benefits to this country. But
suppose business men and farmers had
been temporarily forced to make a small
financial sacrifice? Would it not be
worth it if, through trade, a lasting peace
Gould be established? Immediate tinan-
eial profit is not the real issue underly-

Victory Books

The American public appears to have
fallen down on its job of providing books
for fighting men The Army is having
to buy volumes. And this, in spite of the
fact that almost every family has more
books-which it never will read again
than space to store them.
The cost Of the books to Uncle Sam
isn't the important consideration What
is another 100000 or even ten times that
amount in a war that is costing quarter
of a trilliOn dollars? What matters is that
we we're given chance to do something
for the boys in Notwithstanding that
entailed no sacrifice, but only minimum
of interest and thoughtfulness. And we
failed to do it.
