LET U. S. BE FIRST TO
ACCEPT WORLD CHARTER

Fifty nations have agreed, through
their chosen representatives, on a world
charter to guide and enforce the peace
terms that shall be written when this
global war ends.
In few days the work of the United
Nations Conference will go before the
separate governments for adoption or
rejection 1t is to be presented to the
United States senate July 2, probably
in person by President Truman.
It should be the unanimous sentiment
in the senate that the United States be
first to ratify this world charter
through which the fifty nations transfer
their powerful 'war-alliance to an or
ganization to end wars and sustain an
everlasting peace.
This nation is not warning nation.
We do not want to be led into third
world catastrophe We must not let
that happen.
To accomplish this America must
take the leadership heneeforth, and
take that leadership now. The first
step in assuming that responsibility is
to be first in ratifying the. UNCIO pact.
Who can say the San Francisco
agreement is perfect? Or that it will
not accomplish it's purpose?
Here is what matters. After eight
weeks men and women chosen for their
wisdom and intelligence and sincerity
have put their minds and souls into
pattern for world security. Upon their
efforts the world must start to make
itself over and to establish the per-
manent way to peace.
The senate should not waste time in
partisan debate Neither should it act
without deliberation. The San Fran
cisco meet has been open. Day by day
the world has been advised of all the
actions. The senator's have been close
to all that has taken place. And so
they should be ready to act swiftly.
Leaders of the major parties in the
senate have helped formulate the char
ter. They will join their voices on the
,senate floor urging speedy ratification.
That is we'll.
Events in war-torn Europe since sur
render of Germany evidence the press
ing need for a united, strong, far-seeing
policy to govern from here out.
In this America has responsibility
as great as in war and victory.

CLIMATE FOR SALE
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

A bill creating a Florida state adver-
tising commission with an annual budget
Of 100000 to spend in advertising the
state and its products has been intro
duced in the Florida legislature. At first
blush it may seem to be. merely press
agents dream; on further reflection it
recommends itself as good business for a
progressive state.
After all, states are in business, al
though perhaps less directly SO than the
Industrial and commercial enterprises
which locate within their borders and
contribute to their support. Some states
owe their prosperity to staple products
which more or less automatically find
their way into the national arteries of
commerce. Other states, less favored in
natural wealth or produce, either lang
uish economically or else get out and
scramble for the income that spells good
schools, improved living standards and
generally favorable position in the rank
of states.
Amid the wide variety of individual
state assets and products, there is no
state with nothing to sell. And there
is no state which cannot further enrich
itself, no matter how we'll it is faring at
the present, by means of an intelligently
promoted advertising campaign. The
worth-indeed, the necessity-of adver-
tising to get people to come to store, or
a show, or to buy the articles that a
manufacturer is producing, has been
proved long since. Several of the states
and many of the cities and regions of the
union have shown that advertising pays.
Florida, of course, is among them. The
state has important export produces
citrus fruits notably-but its chief sal
able article is climate. Even if the state
veritably hides its light under bnshel,
we don't doubt that it would ens0y some
influx of vacationers and residents. But
a state with so outstanding an asset as
Florida's climate would be foolish, not
to exploit it as national manufacturer
would some new medium of comfort and
health just placed upon the market. We
expect the State of Florida would net
good many dollars for each dollar spent
advertising what it has to offer to Amer
lea, and particularly the eastern half OF
America

Don't bother looking for a gold
mine or blowing up the basement
trying to invent something that1l
bring you a fortune All you have
to do is write one hit song. This
success formula is highly recon-
mended by Little Jack Little.
Perhaps the most popular song
ever penned by the Ell Patio pianist
was "Shanty in Old Shanty Town," "
which swept the country in 1888
Altogether it sold 100000 copies
and to date has crossed for its COM
poser something in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. Jack got the idea
for the song one day when a friend
of his stopped to admire a picture
Evening star., 1945-04-05

in his home of an English thatched
roof cottage.
What makes the writing of a hit
song particularly good investment
is that it doesn't necessarily stop
making money for you the minute
| it grows too old for the hit parade.
A movie producer may decide it's
good background music or some re-
cording artist may decide it's just
what he's looking for.
"Of course" Jack laughed, every
composer lies awake at night dream
ing that the recording artist will
turn out to be Bing Crosby. Surest
guarantee of making a fortune on
song is to have Bing record it"
