Reveal Dow
Sales 10 laps
Magnesium Shipments
Made in 1888

WASHINGTON, March =
LPl-Two officials of the Dow
Chemical company testified
Monday the company sold l.
525, 900 pounds Of magnesium TO
Japan in 1893. but asserted they
did not know what use was
made of the metal.
The testimony was given 10
the Senate Truman committee
by Willard H. Daw, president,
and Lee B. Grant, sales man.
ager.
Both said they did not remem-
Der details of the transaction
and Grant related that 1t is the
-company's practise to destroy
correspondence and other pap
ers, except bare sales records,
after the lapse of three years.
Dow told the committee that
the company didn't make a
practise" of asking purchasers
what they intended to do with
materials they bought. Grant
said he remembered only that
the Mitsui company came TO
US and asked to buy"
He recalled that his company
was not alone in selling to Jap
an, pointing out that quantities
of scrap iron and gasoline were
shipped there before the war.
Asked by Hugh Fulton, COM
mittee counsel, why the price Of
magnesium TO the japanese was
four cents a pound below the
price on sales 10 England, Dow
explained that it was "negotl-
ated price and that the Japan
csc had bought three times as
much in 1893 as the English.
Dow added that the State De-
partment had not asked for any
information about the sale be-
cause lat that time Japan was
one of the favored nations, you
know" -
Earlier, Dow had accused the
Justice Department of trying to
smear the company with an
infamous charge that it was a
member of an international car
tel and that its prices and pro-
duction were controlled by |. G..
Farbenindustrie, German or
ganization.
On the other hand. he declar-
ed, the company had furnished
the nation with the bulk of its
magnesium lin spite Of and not
because of the government"
Between 1915 and 1899 the
company brought Dow the price
of magnesium from SIS a pound
to 81 cents a pound, Dow assert
ed, adding that the company $
record in magnesium production
"is one of the highest public
service"

"A YHEN l was a boy and people used
wv to talk to me about ''the future"
I used to think that whatever the
future was, it couldn't possibly begin until
left school. Then, after 1914, l felt (as
doubtless many adults did also) that the
future couldn't possibly begin till the war
was over. The war ended; and on Novem-
Der IL, 1918, remember thinking rather
solemnly as watched the Armistice
crowds in London: "The future begins
today +. . my future >. the future OF my
friends -. eserybodys future" Perhaps
some. similar thought was in the hearts
and minds of millions that day, just as
millions of people regularly have the feel
ing that January First is a special day
because it begins new year.
ACTUALLY, of course, every day is new
years day, and the future always begins
Today. l wish l could hang that up in
neon lights over the desks of statesmen
and diplomats working 'far into the
night" (as they are always supposed to-.
Because to some of them the future is 50
rosy that it couldn't possibly begin till
after we are all dead, while there are Others
who think the future 50 horrible that -
in order to escape any personal response
bility - they are sure it must have begun
before they were born.
Nevertheless, and despite both schools
of thought, the future does begin Today.
And it will be rosy or horrible according
to whether we make it one or the other.
We cannot escape history - that is true.
But we cannot escape making history
either. We are children of destiny, but
destiny is also our child. If we make it
a spoilt child, whose fault but our own?
Not so many years ago we were in a
mood to greet each New Year with fair
words, brave phrases. high-sounding hopes.

SMALL WORLD DEPT: One of

writes us of a G.I. colleague named
Brown. His brother Harold had
been inducted and Brown hadn't
seen him since. He gave up hope OF
a reunion for the duration when
Harold was shipped overseas.
Brown himselfwas finally shipped,
ended up in North Africa. He spent
an evening writing a V-Mail letter
to his long-unseen brother. He ad-
dressed it to his Army Post Office
number, c/o Postmaster, New

post office. The mail clerk noticed
the APO number and laughed: that
APO address was being used by an
outfit stationed 500 feet away.

then for long time we refused to believe
it was happening. Surely, we argued.
dreams, ideals and good intentions were
enough.
Then, with seeming suddenness, reality
hit us in the face. We didn't hesitate after
that. We began to build planes, guns.
tanks - we began to man and train
great army. Dreams. we then realized.
were just no substitute for bombers.
j ODAY, on the eve of another year OF
the Second World War, we can oongratu-
late ourselves on having faced facts just
in time to save ourselves and our friends.
We now hose the planes, the guns. and the
tanks, and we can offer 1914 not only the
record of their performance to date. but
the promise of far greater performances
ahead. We know, with confidence, that
1914 will bring us nearer - perhaps very
near indeed - to the winning of the war
that was thrust upon US.
And then what?
We did not care to ask that question
last year; we did not dare to do 50 the
year before. But now it comes as the very
breath of the future that begins today.
The war will end, and it will end the way
we want it to end; but afterwards - will
tanks, guns and planes alone be enough,
any more than dreams, ideals and good
intentions alone were?
i THINK we have this to do during 1914:
we must combine the word and the deed,
the dream and the business. as they have
never been combined before in all history.
We must know with crystal clearness what
we are fighting for, as well as whom we
are fighting against.
And after victory, whenever it comes,
we must keep our heads and our hearts as
well as our arms. For depend upon it, the
future that begins today is not our own
only, but the worlds.

historians will begin grinding out
manuscripts on: Causes and Re

thing they may neglect to record:
the love-life-by-mail of our armed
forces.
Out of thirty-three billion pieces
of mail that filtered through our
post Offices last year, two billions
were sent free-of-charge by our
boys in uniform. Hardly letter
passes through the post Offices with
out a love doodle on the envelope.
And therein lies a history in itself.
The boys and their girls manage to
.write it all on the envelope!

letters used ON the backs of the
envelopes are the combination:

sweeties have invented 50 many
variations of this SEALED WITH A
KISS theme, that it seems impossible
to try to list all of the take-ofs I
have seen. However. here are some:
swABK - sealed with a big kiss.
swABBBBBBK - big, big, etc.
swL - sealed with love.
SwLAK - love, and kisses.
SwAS = sealed with smile.
SWAN = sealed with a hug. (Oh.

LOL - lots of love.
AAH.AKTU - all my love and kisses
to you.

wAAG - with all my love.
