Ground Service Underlies Air
 Car0oes

Rapid expansion of air shipping after the war will produce a great stimulus to business and industry, without seriously affecting other mediums of tranSporta- ton. The high speed which modern air planes make possible is keyed to the American way of doing business.
 Commodities to be carried by air trans port after the war will differ little in character from those flown by air express before Pearl Harbor, such as machine and vehicle parts, printed matter, films, valuables, drugs and serums, radio parts, tranScriptionS, etc. To these will be added, in increasing amounts, samples of all kinds. Introducing new product and dramatizing it by flying samples to deal CTS, is going to develop new traffic for all types of transportation, says K. N. Mer- ritt, of the Railway Express Agency. This will open new markets new areas of dis tribution to the manufacturer, the mer- chant and the farmer After the samples have been rapidly distributed - perhaps even the first few orders-the market opened up and the demand established, all other forms of transport, rail, truck, forWarder, and waterways, will share in the haul of regular consignments neces- sary to keep customers supplied.
 That promsieS to be one of air trans ports most constructive tasks in the coming air age But it can be brought to the greatest usefulness to the public only by orderly development, based on experience, and well coordinated ground service to provide shippers with swift and flexible round-the-clock delivery to and from airportS.

alone in the successful accomplishment of this added task. The average English mans admiration of him is reciprocated over here by our high regard for the British soldier.
 Relations among the governments of the fighting Allies, while good, haven't always Teen a honeymoon. Plain Main Street citizens of all these countries, too, have been confused and disappointed at times by the policies of Washington, Downing Street, the Kremlin or Chung king. But they just can't be distrstful or jealous of the heroes of Guadalcanal and Stalingrad and Alamein. The men who do the fighting, one suspects, are doing more than all the diplomats and heads of governments to weld the spirit of allied peoples into common bond of purpose, understanding and trust. And up to now, they seem to be doing as well as the diplomats in solving the touchy problem of French friendship and CO., operation.

Radar and Reticence

Rushing in where angels fear to tread, we are so bold as to take issue with Dr. Irving Langmuir, distinguished American physicist and Nobel Prize winner, on a rather misleading statement.
 In press quotations Of recent speech of pr. Langmuir's there is charge that this country fails to recognize, and occa- sionally penalizes, incentive in scientific development. By way of illustration he notes that "Prime Minister Churchill has mentioned the great part played by radar in the war, but no official of our govern ment has offered word on such Scien- tific accomplishments.
 Perhaps pr. Langmuir failed to see the numerous American news stories and advertisements extolling and partially ex- blaming radar, which were shut off some time ago by military censorship for se- curity reasons. But surely he knows that, incentive or not, radar was development of U. s. Navy scientists And though our officials may not have talked much about it, American radar has proved to be an exceedingly handy gadget. We'll be hearing more about American radar after the war. Meanwhile its actions are speak ing eloquently, despite the gag of official reticence.

Doubling in Diplomacy

Two London newspapers, The Times and Lord Beaverbrook's Express, have been moved to editorials of enthusiastic and rather remarkable praise by the American capture of Cherbourg. The cautious and conservative Times quite bubbles over, while the Express hastens to refute any suggestion that the Amer. ican part in the invasion has been played up unduly
 Suggestions have been made" the Express editorial says, that American armies are getting more than their due credit in this war. Nothing more un- generous could be said or written. Amer icans have proved themselves to be race of great fighters in the very front rank of men at arms" Says The Times, "While every section of the Allied force made it's contribution, the most inTne- diate credit is due the gallant American troops who have driven path Up to some of the most formidable prepared positions in Europe and smashed their way into Cherbourg with unsurpassable dash and yigor."
 These well-deServed expectations un- doubtedly reflect the popular sentiment. They sound spontaneous as well as sin- geFe, in contrast to official statements which sometimes seem to spring from senge of diplomatic etiquette as well as from the heart. The American CT isn't

A Thought for Today
A Fighting Fourth

It is pleasant to reminisce about the good old days when our only Fourth of July worries concerned the danger Of fingers Scorched by fire-crackerS, ants eating the picnic potato salad, and the odds against getting somewhere and back without being hit by holidaying auto iSt It would be pleasant, that is, if we could appreciate the absence of popping fireworks at home without cringing when we think of the reason why we are being spared the nerve-wracking sounds of previous Independence Days. Gunpowder has gone to war, and lads who once were admonished by doting parents to be care ful of those cannon crackers" are now handling bombs and shells each contain ing enough explosive for dozen old-time fireworks displays. Hands that once trembled with anticipation as they light ed the fuses of sky-rocketS in the family back yard are now at the controls or fighter planes and anti-aircraft guns which are blasting down the robot bombs with which Hitler's engineers have utilized the age-old rocket principle.
 Young minds which once thrilled to the cracking of firecrackerS are now being shocked and dulled by the unremitting thunder of cannon, the scream of drop H111S d1IQ UA1C NGAoVJCA VI AAAe~NAAAAAS guns. Mothers whose only fears were for the minor dangers which beset their youngsters on Independence Day are now dreading every visit of telegraph mes senger, lest he bring news of death, dis appearance or maiming of a soldier or sailor son. We remember the days when press associations worked overtime on the Fourth of July, tabulating the nation wide automobile, drowning and fireworks accidents. Now single dispatch from Normandy, Italy or the Pacific may tell of casualties far more terrible than any July toll.
 It used to be that July was the day on which newspaper editorial writers deplored the toll of fireworks accidents, and parents swore that there would be no more roman candles to set fire to the neighbor's roof But wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if we could make an even trade-then for now?

like the Poles"
 "Several days after Professor Lange made this complaint, he learned that Stalin had arranged with Wanda Wasilievska, head of the pro-Soviet Union of Polish Patriots, to better the living con- ditions of Polish refugees in Rus sia. Stalin informed Mme." Wa silievska that better war conditions now permitted better living condi- tions and that Polish refugees should share in the improvement. SCORES POLISH IN
 TELLIGENCE SERVICE
 Stalin was quite cynical about the Polish intelligence service in- side Poland and the reports of alleged conditions it had made to Premier Mikolajczyk. All it did, he said was deceive the Po- fish Government-in- Exile in Lon- don.
 Foreign Commissar Molotoff, who was present during the in- terview, interrupted at this point to say that, in a recent speech, Premier MikolajcZyk had claimed he had the support of 90 per cent of the Polish people.
 "Why," laughed Stalin, T don't even know if I have the support of 90 per cent of the Soviet people. How can he, sitting in London, say that he has the support of % per cent of the people of Poland:
 'MikOla jczyk," he concluded, shouldn't believe the fairy tales his intelligence tells him."

AMERICAN CLOCKMAKERs
(New York Times)

This week the death was recorded of Seth Thomas, great-grandson of the Seth Thomas who founded the great industry still dourishing at the Connecticut town named after him. The first Seth Thomas, I765- 1859, was a carpenter and skilled woodworker, who in the first years of the last century joined Eli Terry, a little older man, and Silas Hoadley in setting up clock factory in the Connecticut Plymouth. The firm made "wag-on-the-walp' clocks. or- dinarily without cases. Terry sold his interest to Thomas and Hoadley. Thomas sold out to Hoadley, bought Terry's rights in the then-popular shelf -clock," started a mill for brass and wire making and in 1853 established the clock company that bears his name. After his death the part of Plymouth in which his fac' tory was became Thomastop.
 Tn Plymouth Hollow, Terry car- ried on a prosperous business in wooden and brass clocks. Another Connecticut man, Chauncey Jerome, sold clocks from house to house, established factories and died poor. Tn the Arthur Collection in New York University. Eli Terry's third signed clock is still going. These Connecticut men are known as pioneer cl0ckmakeFs, but they work ed for Obscureg men who must have been in a sense their teachers.

which needed further considera- tion.
 When these plans for Poland had come up at Teheran, Stalin disclosed, President Roosevelt had been in complete agreement, but Prime Minister Churchill had hesitated.
 "He asked me: Who is to guarantee the security of this new Polish State?' I answered him simply: The armed might of the Soviet UniOn'."
 POLES IN RUSSIA
 Professor Lange had been per- mitted to visit with the Polish Army inside Russia which is fighting side by side with the Red Army. He also had talked with various Polish leaders inside Rus sia, and he told Stalin that he was deeply moved by the splen- did treatment given the Polish Army by the Red Army.
 T am sorry to hear that you are SurprlSe0, StaAIn Salu' Ane world must think harshly of us if they believe we mistreat those who fight with us, or any other people because of race, color or creed"
 However, Professor Lange was not so complimentary in telling Stalin about the living conditions of the, Polish population now liv- ing in Russia. He described the situation as deplorable.
 Stalin admitted that this might be true, and also admitted the truth of Professor Lange's con- tention that, when these people returned to Poland, they would be bitter against Russia.
 However, Stalin pointed out, "they are being treated no worse than Soviet citizens in the same communities. This is an econ- Omic conditions brought on by the war, not because we don't
