Humanity Moves Forward

A few weeks ago the Navy flying boat
Mars landed in Hawaiian waters after a
routine flight from California The fact
that the trip was scarcely noted in the
press was the most spectacular aspect of
the undertaking. Worldwide air trans
port has become commonplace. HUI
manity has taken another step forward
without realizing it.
Global air transport statistics since
Pearl Harbor are hard TO comprehend.
The import of strategic war materials by
air has been about 20 times as safe as
such imports by surface vessels. While
the average unit value of war commodi-
ties has been only 3 IL cents a pound
when moved by surface vessel, it has
been $2.85 when moved by air. Only high
value materials are sent by plane.
The average American ocean vessel OF
the year 1893 was only 81 per cent as big,
in gross tonnage, as the Navy Flying boat
Mars Eighteen U. S. airlines are now
participating in domestic and over-ocean
transport services operated by the Army
and the Navy, and several great United
States aircraft manufacturers produce
transport type airplanes at top speed. In
one six-month period in 1943, almost 3d.
100000 pounds of air cargo was flown by
domestic airlines alone, as compared with
less than 100000 pounds for compar-
able period in 1941.
Modern air transport is not 'war
baby. Transoceanic clippers were flying
long before the war. Military authorities
point out that air transport on the pres
ent scale would never have been possible
except for the years of pioneering carried
Oh by the commercial airlines. These
airlines we're conceived in the minds of
transforming pilots whose dreams were
backed by business men with vision and
unlimited faith in America and aviation.
These men, from grease monkeys to air
line presidents, were rugged individu-
alists" The country can be thankful
that it had them before the war. 1t needs
them now and will need them more than
ever in the future, if our national stride
is to remain unbroken.

Views Of The Press

cations unions are full of Commun-
lists, and the even more interesting
and more belated announcement
that If he were still boss of the out
tit they would have been Weedcd
out long before now" They would
have been; but apparently weren't.
Mr.. Lewis is thunderous in his
righteous wrath. There isn't any
place for these parasites as far as I'm
concerned, never has been and never
will be-" But surely Mr.. Lewis Is In
error there, for by his own state
ment he picked up n lot" of them
including Mr.. Harry Bridges, while
he was organizing the c. I. O., SO at
that period there must have "been a
place" for them under the Lewis
mantle. If that cloak, descended
now upon the shoulders of Mr..
Philip Murray, is still infested with
parasitic life, no one will forget the
man who wore 1t first.
But more suggestive, perhaps,
than the picture of Mr.. Lewis as a
sudden pillar Of anti-Communism
Is the picture of Mr.. Lewis as the
dictator who would have, II he had
ever got around to 1t, flung the
Communists out of his private Or
ganization neck and crop, after first
having picked UP lot Of them In
those organizing days when they
were doubtless very useful. Is there,
one wonders, anything In the con-

The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-03-02

which promote tax-subsidized utilities,
there would be over $4,000,0O0 annually
- 20 cents out of each dollar Of gross
income - which would not have to be in
cluded in its customers charges, and it
would still have the same net earnings
But who would pay the 100000 tax
loss? 1t would be added to the burden
Of general taxpayers.
Another, and bigger reason why public
ownership of the electric industry is be-
coming less popular with voters, is force
fully set forth in the words of Frank
Mclaughlin, president of the Puget
Sound Power and Light Company: ut is
my opinion that the private enterprise
system will endure because it is only
through such a system that property
rights can be preserved, individual rights
and opportunities can be maintained,
and human values attain the maximum
of recognition and the most apprecia-
ton. What we are fighting for is the
same thing the armed services are fight
ing for. :. They are not fighting Cor
socialism or any oaI1er ism but American
ism! If we are going to let the parlor
pinks and social planners socialize indus
try in America, why in Gods name are we
fighting the Nazis, Fascists and Japs?"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-03-02
Two Reasons for Private Enterprise

Statistics show that in the last five
years communities have been increas-
ingly reluctant to burden themselves
with debt to go into the utility business.
One very good reason for the about face
of public opinion on the question OF
Socializing the electric industry, can be
found within the industry itself. The
private power companies are turning in
an excellent performance. The record
of typical company, the Puget Sound
Power and Light, in the state of Wash
ington which has been notorious for pub
lie ownership promotion, is Illuminating.
Food costs are up 48 per cent; rent AZ
per cent, clothing 20 per cent, while the
average cost of electricity per domestic,
and farm customer served by that COM
pany has gone down over 40 per cent -
notwithstanding the fact that its taxes
today are five times greater than they
were in 1880, it's payroll doubled, and
material costs substantially increased
since 1888. If this company were tax
exempt, as are the Federal power projects

CLEAN UP THE PLATES
New York Herald -Tribune)

NANCW
What is, we believe, the most
practical suggestion yet made for
the saving of food in wartime
shortages was set forth last week
In a radio speech by Judge Marvin
Jones, War Food Administrator.
Table manners, Judge Jones de-
clared, are responsible for q huge
wastage OF food on the daily home
front. Plates should be cleaned up
until they have patriotic polish.
bones should be taken In the fingers
and picked to the last token and
soup plates should be deity tipped
to get reluctant and residual chicken
gumbo and cream Of mushroom.
Using a bit of soft bread to sop
up gravy left on the plate has al
ways been a table trick Of the
French, whose many ragouts and
admirable sauces lend themselves TO
this gustatory notion. And surely
no valid objection to such simple
and saving procedure should be
raised, even by the most pernickety.
We would do well to initiate the race
Of Brillat-Savarin In the instance
Of the next stew or goulaSh which
crosses our plates.
Inheritors Of a tradition of plenty.
we have long held the unenviable
reputation of being the greatest
food MASTERS In the world. Euro
peans arriving In our unthrifty land
have always been shocked at our
free and careless use Of food stuffs
raw and cooked. War Food Admins
traitor Jones gave of1lcial confirma-
ton Of our disgraceful record when
he stated that investigation OF city
garbage collections has shown that
255 pounds of food q person are
thrown away annually. Such q
waste is criminal at this tirne--ol
any time. We should clean up oul
plates. 1t Is an important and easy
way of helping clean UP the enemy
BY keeping food fighting where Il
Is needed most.

LOUIS BROMFIELD,
THE PROPHET
Secretary of Agriculture Claude
Wickard Is chuckling over a let
ter he has received from the Read
er's Digest, signed by william
Hard. Jr. associate editor. 1t
is the last, pathetic note of cor
respondence begun last summer
when the Digest published the
Louis Bromfield article, I'VE Aren't
Going to Have Enough to Eat"
At the time, Wickard wrote to
the Digest, refuting Novelist Brom-
field, offering to write an article
to tell the other side Of the story
and saying we would have plenty
to eat. But the Digest declined
to hear the other side.
They confided privately to
Bromfield that they were embar-
raised by reactions to his story,
but publicly they stood on his
gloomy forecast. He had said:
Il would rather not think about
next February. BY then, most of
our people will be living on die.
well below the nutrition level"
February has now come and
gone. People are eating we'll de-
spite Bromfield. American farm
ers have written the refutation.
Actually, we have n greater accu-
mutation of stored foodstuffs than
at any time In history.
Wickard couldn't resist the temp
tation to rib the Digest, so re
recently sent to Editor Dewitt
Wallace few figures about tho
Overlooking granary. In reply
he received merely q short note
from William Hard, Jr., saying,
"Mr. Wallace is home. fighting

tee.

period before the war, but mace
100000 in 1912.

In 1912.
8. Again Edward G. Budd Of
Philadelphia, the company which
Senator Guffey champions so lus-
tily during Senate tax hearings,
came in for a juicy profit. Sem
ator Guffey for a time threatened
to vote against renegotiation be-
cause he said the Budd people
had been treated unfairly by the
Navy. However, the Truman
Committee found that Budd had
made profit OF $18,650,000 in
1912, compared with $350,000 be-
fore the war. Later the Budd Co.,
complained because the Navy in
sisted on renegotiating It's profits
down to $3,796,000, even though
this latter figure was 10 times its
average profit before the war.
The Truman Committee al,
found that II the Army Nays
power to renegOtiate contracts
had been "emaScuatel by Senate
amendments, the gratitude of
people would have been tranc-
formed into shocked resent
ment."

The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-03-02

The Truman Committee will
recommend that the War Pro-
duction Board go much further
than the Army has been willing IN
restoring production of civilian
goods. The committe will not urge
anything near unlimited produce
ton, but 1t will point out the fol-
lowing important facts:
l. War contracts are being cam
celled at an increasing rate. The
War Department cancelled ten
and a half billions in contracts as
OF January 81, while the Navy
cancelled two and a third billions
up to Feb. 5. This means more
factories and more men available
for civilian production.
2. Tremendous stockpiles of
steel and other materials have
been accumulated far more
than can be used for the war.
Already aluminium plants with q
capacity of O half-billion pounds
year have been closed because
the supply of aluminium Is so
great.
3. The military was slow in
curtailin" civilian production. Now
1t Is slow In letting the country
get back to civilian production.
Therefore, the Truman Com
mittee recommends that while
we cannot "SOOn resume full
scale civilian production. we can
produce limited quantities of n
few score additional items Clas-
sificd as essential"
TRUMAN-GO-ROUND
The impending Truman Com
mittee report will reveal that 100
big corporations hold 10 per cent
of all the war orders; Furthermore,
these 100 first companies of the
nation had only 80 per cent of the
country's business before the war
and the Roosevelt Administra-
ton was supposed to help the
little fellow! Norman Litte,l,
hard-hitting assistant attorney
general, will get boost from the
Truman Committee for hurrying
up government payments to the
farmers and others whose land
was seized by the Army and Navy.
The committee will recommend
that all government purchase of
land be handled by Littell :.
American labor doesn't look so bad
when contraSted with British la
Dor. The Truman Committee will
find, despite the National Service
Act, long operating In England,
there were 1858 English strikes in
volving n manpower loss of 1885,
600 man-dayS. Taking into ac-
count the larger population of this
country, U. s. strikes were only
OPS per cent worse than England
even without national service
act.
President Roosevelt didn't
know 1t, but the Truman Com
mittec had prepared some devc-
stating evidence supporting him
on one of the most controversial
phases of the tax bill - re-
negotiations Of war contracts.
Nevertheless, all the members
OF the committee except Mead of
New York, Kilgore of West Vir-
ginia and Wallgren of Washing
ton voted TO override his tax bill
veto
100 FIRST COMPANIES"
The Trumanites found that of
the 100 companies getting 10 per
cent of the war contracts, only
nine were free OF excess profits
IN 1912. Here are some of the
companies and their lush profits
unearthed by the Truman sleuths.
