into the, other house because
they have no furniture, bed

Varkle has appealed to any
charitable person with goods or
clothing suitable for the family
to leave them at the Varkle
property, or telephone him at
Pingree 1872. He has advanced
funds to the family for immedi-
ate assistance.
The fire started in a kero-
sene cooking stove which sud-
denly famed up when Mrs. Rob-
erts was nearby. Fearing the
flames ould get out of con-
troll, the housewife quickly seiz-
ed the glass kerosene container
to take it outside the house but
slipped from her hands and
smashed on the floor. The flames
leaped through the kitchen and
ignited two other small kerosene
containers as Mrs. Roberts fled.
Police Chief William Van
Hulle, of the Warren Township
fire department quickly arriv-
ed with three pieces of equip
ment, and Chief Harold Flech-
sig, of Roseville, dispatched a
truck to the scene. The frame
structure was doomed, however,
before firemen could use emer-
gency water equipment, due to
high wind which famed the
blaze. No water mains are near
the property and firemen soon
exhausted the l,000-gallon sup
ply they carried.
Varkle, owner of the house
tenanted by Roberts, said the
loss was $4,000, partly covered
by insurance. The furniture
clothing etc, was valued at ST.
500, and no insurance was car
ried.
Roberts has worked for Var
kle for the past two years, and
both he and his family were
described by Varkle as industri.
Gus and deserving people. As
soon as goods are available tc
rehabilitate the family, Varkle
said, they will be moved into
the vacant house he obtained fol

Ordinary propaganda today is no
as crude or as easy to detect as for
merly. 1t has become dignified by
the new name of public relations, ant
propagandists and publicity men cal
themselves public relations experts
Unfortunately organized labor is moi
as up to date in this field as it should
be. The unions certainly need more
effective public relations work. Even
in peace time the growth and power
of unions was influenced to an in
creasing extent by the government
and it's policies, and that means in
the long run by public opinion
In war time the extent of govern
ment influence on the strength and
effectiveness of unions is of course
far greater. Yet labor spends nothing
like the money and gives nothing like
the attention to the job of telling its
story to the public that the owners
of industry and their propaganda or
CARNATIONS do.
Big business is selling itself to the
public as the savior of the nation by
taking credit for the marvellous feats
of war production. Actually big bust
ness opposed prompt and complete
conversion to war production when it
was proposed by representatives of
organized labor such as Walter
Reuther Big corporations objected to
expansion of war production facilities
before Pearl Harbor because they felt
that there would be so much produc-
tive capacity after the war that COM
petition would be stimulated and
monopoly prices could not be main
tanned.
The airplane companies actually
held up production in this vital war
line for some time until congress
passed law giving them the right
to charge off the cost of additional
plants as part of their expenses, so
that if the war continues for two
years longer they will own lot Of
new plants which the government will
have paid for completely. Yet they
take all the credit for production al
though they were responsible for de-
lay in getting started in many cases.
CED Planning ShrewdIy
The committee for economic deve- |
opment, started and controlled by the |
more intelligent and far-sighted of
'our" big business leaders, is selling |
itself to the public as the agency for

Advertising to sell to the public the

| | believe that every FrenchmaT

Journalist, Mr.. Theodore Draper, col

This book is a great historical AND
philosophical accomplishment and the
author never loses sight of his very
simple way of presenting facts, even
military facts, to the public. Nothing
can be fairer than the method adopted
by Theodore Draper in presenting to
the American public one of the great.

His style is vivid and he makes a

which he depicts the disputes that
took place among the high general
staff before the German attack of
May 10, 1910. He shows with amaz-

on King Leopold of Belgium and the
French General Korap. He comes tt
the conclusion that those two men
weak and of second-rate composition
acted as one would have expected
them to act in circumstances which
were as they were.
Then we come to that part of the
book which, in my judgment will re
main as a real contribution to his
tory because practically all the de
tails given by Mr.. Draper have not
as yet been published and probably
would never have been written be-
cause it is quite certain that the ar
chives of that period both in France
and in Germany will be destroyed by
those whose personal interests will
dictate their destruction.
What is most striking for French
political writer's in this book is the
accuracy of judgment on everything
and on everyone. None of us can
catch Mr.. Draper on anything, be it
details, psychology, responsibilities of
the actors, or general trend of the
drama.
For the first time, l believe, the
trend of the Pierre Laval-Petain plot
is depicted day by day in Bordeaux
and most of the scenes between Laval
and poor President Lebrun, for i'll
stance, or between Laval and the
Mayor of Bordeaux, the Socialist Mar
Equet, or those that took place with
riot, and Jeanneney, were totally I'M
known until now
And all that is related with regard
to the French is presented with just
as much detail with respect to the
Germans during those dramatic days
of June 16 to June %, 1910.
Finally, the story of General de
Gaulles trip. to London, the behind
the-scenes stories of the proposed de-
parture of the French government for
Algiers, and the sailing of the MAS
siglia" are told with all the tragedy
that surrounded them.
Everyone must read this book.
Everyone in every country must read
it, and perhaps more especially every
one in America, because to every citi
zen of every nation, even to those
who belong to the greatest and
strongest democracies of the world,
it will always show how the most
highly civilized, the most strongly
democratized democracies can crum-
