SPECIALTlES MAKE
ss-
GAINS IN MARKET

NEW YORK, March 4-lRNThe
stock market today finished an
uneventful week with scattered
liquors and specialties performing
on the upside while the general
run of leaders did little or moth
ing.
Aside from a brisk push in the
utilities Friday which, on balance,
carried the group to the best mark
since Oct. %, last, and runup
in the beverage group in the final
session, features during the six
day stretch were few and far be-
tween.
Moderate firmness Monday lift
ed the general average to a peak
for the year but purchasing was
highly selective and apparently
based mainly on earnings and divi-
dend hopes. Profit taking Tues
day started the recently strong
rails on a downward slide, Offer
ings were being inspired by dis
appointing January net income
compilations.
Moderate and selective recover
les predominated Wednesday and
Thursday without much outstand-
ing news to bolster trends. The
power and light division came to
lift yesterday, as industrials and
rails backed water, seemingly
spurred by reports the S. E. c.
would approve Indignation pro-
grams of a number of companies.
The Associated Press 6O-stock
average was unchanged at 51.3
and on the week showed a net
loss of Il of point. Dealings were
relatively slack throughout the
week and today's total of 1892, $40
shares compared with 372, 710 last
Saturday and was the smallest
since Feb. 5.
Tapering of prices generally as
the week drew to close was at
tributed partly to possibly immi-
nent war developments, talk of
some of the Axis junior partners
suing for peace, and the thought
that liquidation to meet March Is
income tax payments was likely
in the next several days. Oppo-
sition to the administrations Ara
bian pipe line project brought a
little support to petroleum securi-
ties Friday.

BRITISH HEALTH PLAN

providence tRI.) JOurna)
In outlining a comprehensive plan to
make health services available to every
one. regardless of ability to pay, the
British government states that its obJec-
tive is ''to bring the country's full re-
sources to bear on reducing i'll health and
promoting good health in all its citizens
No ore can quarrel with that purpose.
But the possibility that Britain may
find it eXpedient and advisable to seek
fulfillment of this objective through
adoption of the scheme suggested in the
recent White Paper is not reason for
concluding that the United States should
seek the same objective through a uni
form national plan of health insurance.
Great Britain is smaller and more
homogeneous country than the United
States. It has no system of dual sover-
eighties. nor any comparable tradition
of decentralization in the control and
regulation of many activities affecting
the social and economic well-being of
the people. In the United States condi-
tions vary widely in different parts of
the country. Varying conditions call for
VARYING treatment.

RUSSIAN VICTORIES
{ Santa Monica Outlook

The American people have more than
a sympathetic interest III the success of
the Russian armies. In very special
sense we are partners in those campaigns
and have contributed in no small degree
to their success.
The lend-leaSe has sent $500 airplanes
to Russia and they have been no minor
factor in the successes of the Russian
campaigns. This is only a small part of
the equipment which the United States
has given the Soviets. More than 100000
American trucks have aided in their
rapid forward movement and 5000 Ameri
can tanks and tank deStroyerS besides
have been among the equipment which
has had its part in Russian advances.
Our food shipments have totaled 2,6OO,
600 tons. More than 1.450.000 tons of
steel for munitions and other purposes
and vast quantities of other metals and
supplies necessary for the Russian eff
forts have contributed TO their victories.
In all the tonnage sent by us to Russia
totals 9.500.000 tons and this does not in
clude 1000 planes that were ferried there
on their own power.
1t may we'll be doubted whether even the
valiant and tireless Russian armies could
have won their outstanding victories
without the vast aid which America has
freely given. In this sense, the Russian
triumphs have also been our victories,
won by American industry and by Ameri-
can workers.

BRiCKER SPEAKS OUT ON
ApPEASEMENT OF JAPS

Governor John w. Bricker put into
words what many have in their minds
when he unequivOcally declared in San
Francisco address last week that the
Roosevelt administration is to blame for
the disgrace of Pearl Harbor.' The Ohio
chief executive branded the appeasement
policy toward Japan. conducted and held
up to the last moment before December
Z, 1941 by Secretary Hull, as a policy
that forced us into war in Europe.
Bricker went on to say that had the
new deal leadership been aware of the
treachery of the Japs and the danger we
faced in the Pacific, Pearl Harbor never
would have happened" In both these
statements Bricker was sustained by Gov
ernor Warren with whom Bricker held
conferences during his visit in the Bay
region.
The administration is guilty of one of
two things, as the Ohian points out.
Either leaders did not know what Japan
was doing, or, knowing, continued a pol
icy of appeasement that made Chamber
lain's effords to head Hitler off seem
inconsequential despite all warnings. In
the first premise, ignorance of the real
situation was without the vestlge OF an
excuse; in the second alternative, the
policy simply was criminal.
Everyone knew and had known for
wears that Japan had closed the doors to
the thousand and more isles in the Pa
cific Americans could not land. even, at
anv of these spots. The widest kind of
guess would have been that they were up
to no good. But a guess was not need
ed Many persons in and out Of the mill
tary had sent repeated warnings to
Washington Hulls office records should
show that he ignored such pleas and sent
out his own demands to handle the laps
with care" Furthermore, from the mo-
ment Hitler started his cOnQuering ca
reer, japan was certain to be his ally. But
even when pacts actually had been signed
between Berlin and Tokyo, the policy OF
appeasement went on. A policy not only
of words, but deeds Through the author
ity given at Washington We went ahead
selling Japs gasoline, oil, material for
munitions and. in fact, went out OF our

build the armament on the islands. which

heavy cost of lives and equipment.
In the meantime Washington is delay
ing the courtmartial of Short and KIM
mel. army and navy commanders respec-
tivelv in Hawaii. who We're turned out in
disgrace following the attack on Pearl
Harbor.
Whichever one may think of Bricker as
a candidate for the presidency, it can't
be said he fears to speak his mind.

CHANGING SCENE
{ Sacramento Bee)

t'odCId1HeHJO Dec
If person was asked to name a land
mark contributing most to a typical
American scene, he would have to think
twice before eliminating the gasoline
service station. And in the roaring '20's,
the service station grew from little
shack to a super colossal institution
equipped to fill almost every human and
merchanical need
Now the Petroleum Administration
for War announces that out of 1928
service stations operating in California
four years ago, 3438 have gone out of
business. casualties of war. In other
states the rate is even greater In Nevada,
for instance, 125 out of total of 352
stations have closed down.
With the reduction in A book rations,
the casualty list probably will continue
to grow. And the average American ex-
periences pang of nostalgia. In way
the service station is a symbol of the good
old days. .
