BLOCKADE OF IRELAND NOW CONSIDERED
British Prime Minister Tells Commons of Next Step
 10 Be Taken

LONDON, March IA. - British Prime Minister Winston Churchill told the members of the House of Commons today that Britain and the United States plan to isolate southern Ireland from the outer world by a virtual quarantine and by methods yet to be disclosed. He said this is necessary as Southern Iceland is apparently listening post for the enemy during the eleventh hour before the opening of the western front. M
 Churchill's words clearly implied extensions of restrictions to the border between Northern Ireland and Fire perhaps a semi blockade of Fire where Eamonn de Valera has refused to close the German and Jap offices.
 Churchill said: "If a catastrophe were to occur to the Allied armies which could be traced to retention of German and Jap representatives in Dublin, 8 gAif will be opened between Britain on one hand and Southern Ireland on the other hand which even generations could not bridge"

Clock Of Destruction

Local newspapers in most communities during bond drives, Red Cross and Com munity Chest campaigns and similar activities, prominently display clock or other device to measure the success of the effort. AS the hand swings nearer and nearer to the goal, a sense of pride sweeps through the town.
 This same measuring device could well be used for another purpose. The Ma tional Board of Fire Underwriters an nounces monthly fire losses for the nation In the first ten months of the current year the staggering total of $500 ,872, ,000 has been reached - which is only slightly below the total reported for the entire year 1942.
 A large part of that three-hundred- million-dollar loss was in war plants and related industries The direct loss of life in the concerns where fires occurred was bad enough. But that shrinks to insig- nificance when compared to the larger loss on the battlefront resulting from inn paired war production.
 If the people of every community had before their eyes constant reminder of the penalty of indifference to preventable fire, perhaps it would engender new de- gree of caution in the individual. It would help if a "clock of destruction" could be posted for all to see. AS fire losses rose, the hand would revolve, point ing to the price in life and property which the community was paying for its care lessness. AS the silent, accusing finger turned to higher figures, week after week, the lesson which fire authorities have sought to pound into public conscious ness might begin to take effect. It is a simple lesson: Fire prevention begins at home-with the individual. Until we learn this lesson, the nations fire bill cannot be fully controlled.

Big Bertha Rocket

American ordnance experts say that they would not be amazed if the NaZis do have Super-rocket with which they could lombard England from across the chan nel. But they confirm the first opinion of many laymen who feel that such weapon will have no real effect upon the ultimate course of the war.
 In 1917 the Germans sprang surprise with Big Bertha, the gun that dropped shells into Paris from an incredible dist ance. A few civilians were killed need lesSly, some cultural and religious build ings were destroyed sacrilegiously, but that was all. In all probability this will be the story of the new rocket gun, if there is one.
 Such weapon cannot be used ac- e1rately. It can only serve to add to the long indictment against the Nazis for wanton disregard of every decency.

MIR. ICKES IS NOT GOD
(Hartford Courant)


 In the New York Times Magazine the Honorable Harold L. Ickes not so long ago boasted boldly and un- restrainedly that he is New Dealer. That was some weeks before "Dr. New Deal" was kicked out of the White House to make room for "Dr. Win-the-War. Just where does that action now leave the indomit- able MT. Ickes? We await with in- terest the "Curmudgeon's" explain ation.
 Honest Harold" however, pos- sesses several other titles mad hon. ors that still seem secure. Among them are secretary of the interior, petroleum administrator for war and last but not least, solid fuels administrator, in which capacity he none the less succumbs (belieye it or noD to the persuasion of one John L. Lewis, when it comes to the delicate consideration of wages. For the most part, it is true, MT. 4CkC6 uOcS IlOb IdAC 4l4c uOuOIo D lightly, nor does modesty overwhelm him in exercising his authority. Ac- cordingly. the American people should be delighted that he denies any claim or aspiration to displac- ing the Supreme Being.

No matter whether or not they shiver in their homes, no matter how much they may cuss out Mir. Ickes for the in- creased cost of whatever fuel his mere mortal part may allow them, he hasn't the power, by his own ad- mission of impotence, to consign them to hotter and more uncom- fortable place. There is at least some satisfaction in knowing that even to MT. Ickes' authority and capabilities there is a limit of which he is cognizant.

Insulting The Feeble Minded

OPA continues it's indefensible fiat that an established store which sold ladies coats, suits and other articles at certain figure nearly two years ago, shall not be allowed to sell such articles today at prices higher than an arbitrary figure set by OPA, even though no manufactured goods are obtainable at such prices.
 On the other hand, it allows a store which never sold at an established low price, or new store, IT hardware store, or furniture store, to add ladies' suits, etc, and sell at prices which may be twice as high as the arbitrary prices it sets for certain stores, which prevent them from buying or selling lines of goods formerly carried. It thus nullifies its own price Limitations.
 Such political trickery in the name of ninflation control" is an insult to a feeble minded person, let alone an intelligent American citizen. It makes mockery out of the sincere desire of our people to aid in price stabilization

Bolivian Revolution

1t would be easy to overeStimate the international significance of the revolu- ton in which younger Army officers have busted President Enrique Penaranda of Bolivia. Sufficient information seems now to be available to appraise the re- volt objectiveiy. And while we in the United States surely can take no comfort from overthrow of a strongly pro-Allied chief executive, probably we need not worry unduly. First suspicion that the outbreak was Nazi coup arose from the fact that Bolivia long had been one of the two South American republics most dom- mated by Axis intriguerS. German and Japanese interests have been strong there. For instance, in the inland rub Der center of Riberaita, population per hapS 5000, two-thirds of the merchants are Japanese. In Cochamamba, second city of the country, it seems as though no store lacks at least one German accent.
 But as the situation seems to be work ing out, the revolt appears to be primar fly domestic and South American.
 Bolivia is one of the poorest of Latin American countries Under such circum- stances it is difficult even for a we'll intentioned administration to satisfy the public that it is doing its best for them. And there is another angle. It is gen. erally felt in Bolivia and also in Brazil - that the latter has designs on her small neighbor; that some day at least part of Bolivia will be aSsimilated by Brazil. Not uncommon speculation, drowned upon by authorities in Brazil, is that eventually the Bolivian lowlandS will go to Brazil and her highlands to Peru.
 This feeling, however unjustified, pro vides fuel for nationaliStic fires built by ambitious politicians against president who, perhaps, seemed to be leading Bo- ivia into dangerous closeness to Brazil and, therefore, out of the orbit of Argen- tina, from whom for geographical reasons Bolivians feel that they have nothing to fear. So in all probability the revolution was caused in part by the Seething of i'm poverished masses and i'll part by Army opposition to any drift away from the Argentine and toward Brazil. Neverthe- less, we must wonder whether the new lunta, now in control over all United Ma tions tin supplies except RuSsia's, will be as cooperative as was President Panar- anda We shall have to watch our in- terests down there very closely, for time at least

Not Finished

Those who visualize the British Empire as a dying duck will have to explain away the news that Belgium, under certain conditions, may decide to affiliate herself with that commonwealth of nations.
 The ties that bind the empire un- doubtedly will loosen. Political strings will be cut. But economic and military affiliations may actually be strengthened.
 There is nothing about this that should worry us. Anything that makes for better understanding among nations, that re- moves causes or even possibilities of fric- tion, should be welcomed.

NEW DEAL OR WIN THE WAR
(New York Times)

(New York Times)
 The presidents belief that Win the War" is a better slogan for the times than "New Deal" will be shared by everyone who fully un- derstands that we are fighting, and have been fighting for two years, for our very existence as nation. It is the survival of our free insti- tutions that is the great question now. New social and economic re- forms, designed to lift still higher the already high standard of living which we enjoy under these free in- stitutions, must come later.
 MT. Rooseyelt's summary of the New Deal" that began in 1883 in- cludes an impressive list of meas ures. There is some legislation here which was poorly drawn; some which defeated its own purposes by being unnecessarily repressive: some which took off too casually from a doubtful premise. But by and large it cannot be disputed that the New Deal' introduced into American life a very considerable number of re- forms which were long overdue and which succeeded in restoring hope and faith among large numbers of people who had been the victims of a great depression.
 The New Deal" as originally conceived. will find an honorable place in history. What we can re- gret, in the present still greater crisis, is the presidents failure to move for the modification of those praises of the New Deal" for ex- ample, the legal Encouragement through penalty rates of a work week in excess of forty hours and the retention of make-work prac- tices. in a period of great scarcity of nlanpower and rapidly rising prices-which handicap unnecessar- fly the whole war effort. The pres- ident is right in preferring Twin the War" to 'New Deal" as an obs jective for these perilous times.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-01-03

the arm which reads 'ChelCenham' will point in the direction from which you have come, and you will see clearly enough where you want to go. If you know where you have come from, you will know quickly enough where you want to go."
 Men often speculate about human destiny. Whither are we bound as individuals, as a race? Well, the way to answer that question. of course, is to ask ourselves where we came from. If we only came out of the ground, mere creatures in a spontaneous evolutionary process. then of course we shall go back into the ground again and be eternally forgotten. But if we came from God, then We must be on Q journey on which God has set us. If we came from God, we go to God. If the sign post points back to God as our Greater, then 1t must point also to heaven as our destination.
 No wonder those who have a ma terialistic philosophy are hopeless. If GIT origin Is lowly. our destiny
