Wars Bring Prosperity

TlHE AVERAGE American, read
l. ing that the national income
in the first five months of 1914
totaled $62,181, 100000 as con-
trasted with $2S, 143, 100000 in the
first five months of 1889, is apt to
ask himself how such a change
comes about.
, The fact is that the nation,
under the necessity of warfare, has
greatly increased the amount of
money to be distributed among the
people of this country. This is
due to the fact that production is
unlimited because the armed serv-
ices need everything that the ma
ton can make for their use.
AS many economists have point
ed out, the present generation has
witnessed full employment on two
occasions, during the first and sec
ond World Wars. 1t is inevitable
that men and women should won
der why the Government is able
to produce prosperity for the pur-
pose of war and unable to produce
it for the purpose of peaceful
living.
Qld-line economists find the
query disconcerting and unanswer-
able. 1t is not altogether clear
whether anybody can satisfactorily
explain the process or devise q
plan to produce similar results in
what mankind terms normal years
Nevertheless, it is increasingly
plain that the effort will have to
be made.

Soviet Wants Big Families

SOMETHING OF A sensation
has been created in Soviet
Russia by new DEGREES making it
almost as difficult to get divorce
as it is in the United States.
The Supreme Soviet, seeking to
strengthen family life and encour-
age large families, has taken
steps to provide financial assist
ance for large families.
Both changes reflect the impact
of war. With millions of her best
young men slain in battle the
Soviet needs people to develop
Russia.

tWeen the TWO countries IurLnereQ
by American Ambassador to Mexico
Messerschmidt and Secretary Wick
ard. Plans were laid for merging
various projects on which there had
already been some cooperation and
others which were in the making.
AS an illustration, let me mention
two projects which are supported by
both governments. Carrying out
these projects by the department of
agriculture has required no extra APP
preparations from congress. 1t is
merely an extension of already APP
proved programs for getting (gratis)
assistance from the Mexicans. In
doing it, there has been a bilateral
exchange of information, facilities
and personnel.
Take the largest project which has
to do with the pink boil worm.
This story starts in Egypt where
the wicked foe of the cotton plant
may have been fiourishing since the
days Of the Pharaohs, for all l know.
Anyhow, the worm turned up in Mex,
leo in about 1911, having sneaked
across the Atlantic from the banks of
the Nile in infected seed cotton.
By 1915, the boll-worm family had
grown and some of the more am
bilious members decided to migrate
again. They took wing and flew
across the Rio Grande into the Unit
ed States. Measures were taken
against the pest and it never got out
of control in the main cotton area.
But in the Laguna area in Mexico.
it has a firm hold and southern
Texas is threatened. Naturally, the
United States wants to keep all pests
out of the United States and the best
thing to do about it is what the Mex
leans want most to do-destroy them
at the source.
So. American experts from the de-
partment of agriculture have taught
their Mexican colleagues what we
know about eradication: the fan
clean up of the infected stalks. the
sterilization of seeds before they
are shipped out or planted and other
measures. We, on the other hand.

Sergt. CenmiIl
Finds Mosquito
Mighty Welcome

VAN DYKE - Staff Sergt.
Douglass Gemmill, 20-ycsr-old
tail gunner on a Flying Fortress,
who recently suffered severe
frost bite during a dangerous
mission that led him and his
comrades owe. the Eiffel Tower
in Paris and through sub-stratos-
phere weather conditions that
registered So degrees below zero,
thinks the Raj "MoSquito" is
just about the finest looking air
plane on the wing.
Sergt. Gemmill was making
his seventh trip over enemy oc-
cupied Europe when he and his
comrades suffered the effects of
the sub-zero cold. Their big
ship, cruising over the Irish
Free State had picked up what
appeared to be an enemy radio
station broadcasting in English
and rode the beam in" to the
Paris sector. In swinging back
in wide arc toward England
they were picked up by a Royal
Air Force Mosquito" bomber
which led them in safety TO a
friendly base.
IL used to think the PAT was
just about the best looking of all
aircraft, especially when we'd
see them above us when we were
in tough spot, but after yes
terday that Mosquito has all my
affection" he said feelingly
when interviewed by Raj pub
lie relations officers.
His comrades echoed his senti-
ments with deep sincerity.
Sergt. Gemmil is the son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Mark Gcmmill,

The Fortress crew was given
emergency treatment in an Raj
station and are awaiting a re-
turn to active duty. They had
participated in mammoth raid
on Berlin just two days before

Urge Scrutiny
of Personal
Tax Levies

An urge 10 township super
visors and assessors-particular-
~ those in South Macomb-to
garner every possible dollar out
of personal tax assessments on
war plants. was given to the
Board Of Supervisors Wednes-
day by Supervisor Harold Lind
sey, of Mount Clemens, chair
man of the defense committee.
Until Congress amends the
law-an amendment now being
sought by the county defense
committee - tax assessments
against the government-owned
defense plants, and also against
machinery owned by the gov
crnment, cannot be made. The
county is losing hundreds of
thousands of dollars annually in
this respect.
However, Lindsey pointed out
that personal tax" assessments
against plant machinery, proper
ty, desks, equipment and other
taxable items are legal, and
every possible source of tax in
come should be dug up-be
cause private firms, he said, are
making high profits out of use
OF government buildings and
machinery, and should pay full
taos on the taxable property
they own themselves.
AS an instance of the sort
of profits being made by dis
trict firms, Lindsey stated that

New Troubles
FACE Harper
Drain Problem
Remoins UnsoIved

The lull which presages a
storm hung over South Ma
combs Lakeshore Interceptor
situation Wednesday-the dead
line set by state health and
stream control authorities for ac-
ton in tie consolidation of the
district and re-opening of the
$4,000 sewage disposal project
State authorities recently
agreed 10 a period of grace up
to May 10 before starting legal
action against the county and
district, so that tive southern
communities might agree on
sewage disposal rates TO provide
funds for operation of the in
terceptor at about $4,000 an
nually.
st. Clair Shores and Rossville
unanimously accepted the IS per
year rate for basic water users,
a offered by Drain Commission
or William Harper. Center Line
agreed TO acce if Warren
Township an d East Detroit
agreed.
After several meetings, includ-
ing one joint discussion, East
Detroit and Warren Township
have rcfrained from any action
concerning acceptance of the
rate. Neither has any action been
recorded rejecting the rate.
Harper has had no comment
TO make on tn situation, other
than to point out that the coun-
ty and each community involv-
ed in the interceptor district has
been fully advised of the State
Health Department and Stream
Control Commission warning
that legal action TO enforce use
Of the giant interceptor will UNI
doubtedly take place unless it
is running by May 10.
The next move. apparently,
will come from Lansing" Har-
per said today, and from what
| understand there will be no
holds barred"
In the meantime, the Nine
Mile disposal plant is giving
primary treatment to sewage
from the district, before dump
ing it into Lake ST. Clair at the
Shores. Health officers claim that
primary treatment is insuffi-
cient to prevent lake pollution.
The only way the Nine Mile
plant could be operated on
permanent basis, they point out,
would be if it was converted
into a secondary treatment plant
at an estimated cost of sew
eral hundred thousand dollars.
Spokesman for Warren Town
ship and East Detroit have point
ed out that as long as the Lake
shore Interceptor is not operat-
ing, the district is saving more
than $4,000 year. If litiga-
ton is started by the state now,
it might be months before it was
completed-at a saving of about /.

Army Air Forces officers, ques-

women cannot perform. But wom-

Mr.. Ramspeck's investigation Of
the WASPS was undertaken merely
as part of the committee probe into
the reduction of civilian agencies
authorized by the House more than
a year ago. 1t probably would have
been buried in the larger investiga-
ton had not a storm been raised by
the claim Of thousands of pilots In
the Civil Aeronautics Administra-
ton war training program and in
structors in schools having Army
training contracts-both to be aban-
doned-that their flying skill was
to be wasted while women with vir-
tually no air experience were being
trained for noncombat fight jobs.
Civilian Pool Is Large.
The committee investigation, Mr..
Ramspeck said, indicates there are
5000 instructors and instructor
trainees at CAA schools and 5000
instructors at Army contract
schools who will be released when
their programs are concluded.
Some are to be given further train
Ing for Air Forces service. How
