A demand that more stringent
measures be taken by the city to
combat the spread of smallpox was
made by a representative of the
state board of health after q visit

reported in eight homes in one day.

place six men on duty to patrol
from house to house among the
homes quarantined. If this method
was not stringent enough to Sc
cure a strict quarantine the city
would have to go to the expense

American Newspapers
Have Their Faults

While service clubs, public officials and
others were proclaiming the virtues of
American newspapers during Newspaper
Week, many newspapers modestly turned
their heads and said: Come now We have
plenty of faults"
This willingness to indulge in self criti-
ciSm is one of the healthiest symptoms of
strength, an intent to be fair and a pledge
for Sef-improvement. 1t is the finest trib-
ute that the press could give itself
The usual theme of Newspaper Week.

cause it is noble, high-minded and con-

view. The press is not necessarily noble,
high-minded nor conscientious. 1t is fire.
quently inaccurate, and at times unfair"
The Star-Ledger then goes on:
These shortcomings notwithstanding, we
insist that the press is entitled to more than
flattery one week in the year. The press
is entitled to its right every week in the
year. These rights are not based merely
upon good conduct, but upon the funda-
mental law of the land
These rights cannot be taken away or
curbed merely because a newspaper or a
group of newspapers has serious short
cOmlngS.
To be more specific, in New Jersey we
would like less praise during Newspaper
Week and more open dealing by public
agencies all the year round. Facilities for
reporting all public functions should be ex-
tended by all agencies of local, state and
federal government. The Government
should act to prevent secret and conSpira-
torial behavior by state agencies.
Newspapers are not above human fail
ingS. Their readers know that Newspapers
pretending to be above human failings mere
ly amuse some readers and disgust Others
They, nevertheless, serve an important
function in free society. They should try
to improve themselves, and they do try.
Regardless of their merits, however, the
servants of the public in a democracy
should respect the rights of free press and

The Michigan merry go round
continues to whirl at an ever in
creasingly dizzy pace.
It's the promised postwar world
that has become suddenly period
of emotional letdown after years of
war excitement and an income let
down after years of plush, inflated
paycheczs financed chiefly by pill
ing blindly more and more billions
upon the public'S debt.
From the atomic bomb down to
matters of lesser import, public con-
fusion reigns supreme. Washington
leadership is anything but positive;
in fact, woefully wobbly. Labor and
management have their respective
viewpoints. Class hatreds are being
revived now that the war is over
and the pressure for victory has
come abruptly to an end.
Headlines of metropolitan journals
vary between a revoltirg ak murder
and new labor strikes. It's the
great day of peace!

IS cents an hour; the company
agreed: the union held out for
Is cents. Hence, the threat Of an
industrial tie-up and widespread
hardships, like a pistol at your head,
just to get two cents more an hour.
Are nerves on edge? Something
is obviously wrong somewhere. Well
be charitable and blame it on the
filters.
Michigan has been banking heav-
lily on the automobile industry to
lead the way back to prosperity.
Our banks are loaded with money.
Deposit boxes are damned with war
bonds. Everyone is anxious to buy
this and that as soon as possible
The stage is set for a genuine per-

expect to get 80 per cent, but that's
their bargaining bid.
IF you don't give us 80 per cent,
we'll call strike vote, is the ulti-
matum.
And so strikes are coming.
Well, where does the Michigan
farmer enter this picture?
That's what lot of growers would
like to know. They are being ad-
vised on reliable authority to ex-
pect a decline in the price of their
farm products in the postwar
world, although temporary new
highs may be attained during an
interim.

Are We Really
That Big?

The United States is the biggest, most
powerful and WealthieSt nation in the his
tory of mankind. It's men are better fight
erS than any soldiers in recorded time. Its
induStrialiStS are smarter We can Out-llck,
out-produce any nation or combination OF
nations tomorrow or at any time in the
Immediate future.
Such is the story dinned into our ears
from morning until night in the news reels
and on the radio. Why not? Did not Ger
many, the greatest fighting nation of mod
ern times, collapse under our pressure? Did
not Japan, after conquerlng most OF the East,
sue for peace before our invasion had even
started? Ill-prepared America licked the
world in short order. So why worry about
inStituting stretch of universal military
training for the young men of the United
States? Why worry about an international
organization to outlaw war?
The answers aren't very complicated.
Nobody can doubt the ability of Americans
to fight. They were the equal of soldiers
and sailors in every theater Of war every
where. But America didn't win this war
merely because it was big and strong and
rich. 1t won it because England stood stead
fast, against what seemed certain defeat,
and because Russia turned Hitler back It
won because the heroic underground of
France made possible our quick advance in
to Germany. 1t won, for all the heroiSm of
Chloe and his companions-at-arms at sea
and in the air, because the United States
was blessed with luck
The Axis nearly won the Battle of the
Atlantic. 1t nearly destroyed Great Britain
with its rocket bombs 1t came close to dis
covering the atomic bomb before we did
These are matters of historical record,
wholly beyond argument.
In the next war, if it comes, we may be
less lucky. 1t would be a good idea for us
TO consider, now, the unwisdom of trying
to be big all by ourselves.

slightly and then went up to a

Then prices crashed.
Postwar initiation then was of
short duration. Many farmers paid
dearly for speculation in land. The

Of hopes for perpetual Washington

government is now committed to
maintain farm commodity prices at
$3.50 per cent of parity until Dec

Give Thou This Day ~

The goose hangs high, this fall and winter
of our great content. The turkey hangs
high too and so do the roaStS and the
steaks. Was there war, just little while
ago? Did men suffer and die in Italy,
France and in the Far-off East, and did men
of alien race and tongue fight with them
so that fewer might die? 1t all seems part
of a remote and terrible dream, a night
mare of unhealthy. For there will be plenty
of everything or nearly so, now that
Thanksgiving is but a few weeks off and
Christmas itself is very near
Give us this day our daily bread !"
All of us have whispered and mumbled this
age-old prayer. 1t is valid STILL in Detroit
and Duluth, in Seattle and Spokane But
it means nothing at all in Antwerp, in Paris
or in Marseilles. 1t means nothing in Athens
For there is no bread. The millions who
helped in the fight for freedom are hungry
and cold. They are badly clothed. The
brutal fact is that they are being less we'll
fed by the democracies than by the Axis
which enslaved them. Hungry men know
no law. They care not a whit for autocracy
or democracy. They care only for bread
without food, as General Eisenhower
has said, "there can be no peace"
This will be the fall and winter of deep
despair unless the people of America re-
solve that they can contribute just little
out of their plenty. They must make sure
that the funds needed by the United Ma
tons Relief and Rehabilitation Administra-
ton are appropriated by reluctant Con-
gress. They must see that the few remain
ing ration controls in the United States are
not lifted rashly and too soon. If there
were no higher motive self-preservation
would demand it. Desperate men, hungry
men, will use desperate measures. And this,

4 Time For SeIfishness

With three fatal errors mankind is now
preparing for its own destruction. We are
applying three disastrous premises to all
our thinking about the atomic bomb:
Suicidal idea No. THAT we can
keep the means of employing atomic
energy a secret.
Suicidal idea No. 2-That we can
outlaw the military use of atomic
energy.
Suicidal idea No. 3-That we can
think slowly and deliberately about
the best means of controlling atomic
energy because there is no posi-
bility of war for many years
This kind of thinking is no less insane
than the opinion of a maniac that he can
safely Jump off skyscraper by keeping the
law of gravitation his own secret, by per-
suading cities to outlaw concrete sidewalks,
by using all the time of his descent for
planning his escape from his dilemma.
What does all this add up to? A fatalistic
decision to sigh and relax and philosophic-
ally await the bright yellow flash in which
we will all be destroyed? Not necessarily.
There is only one kind of world in which
universal knowledge of atomic fission won't
matter, and in which agreements to fore
swear its use won't be necessary. That's a
federated world. A federated world in
which every nation is bound together as the
states of the United States are bound to-
gether now. The possibility of such world
exists. Plans for it have been suggested.
1t will come into being when enough of the
people of the world say, "This, for the
safety of our own necks, is what we want"
