national finance, could possibly under

For once the people understand that
Breton Woods involves-as Secretary
of Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr
said-"the most elementary bread and
butter realities of daily life" the JIG
will be up for the minority of selfish
interests who hope to wreck the plan
by smothering it beneath a mess OF
technical, double-talk yerbiage.
Along with the Dumbarton Oaks
Plan, Breton Woods puts down on
paper the lesson we've learned from
the war-that this is really one world
thath depression, hunger and unem-
ployment anywhere on the globe will
sooner or later make itself felt in the
lives of American workers. Breton
Woods recognizes two things: ~
jobs and prosperity depend on great
ly expanded world trade and (2) the
unbridled Imperialism and fascist
economic preparation that led up to
World War II must be prevented in
the future.
II there are to be enough jobs-60
million is the usual figure named-in
the US after the war is over, about
five million will depend on our ex-
banding our foreign trade way above
prewar standards. We won't have to
do much looking for customers.
Every nation that has been devastated
by the fascist locusts will need our
goods to help it rebuild. But we
can't expect those countries to buy
goods from us unless we're willing
to accept their money.
The war and the cut-throat econom-
ic competition that preceded it have
most nations Nobody knows, for in
stance, what a French franc is worth,
or Dutch gulden, or a German mark
The international monetary fund set
up under the Breton Woods Plan
would take care of that by stabilizing
world currencies and providing its
members with satisfactory medium
Vi exchange.
The alternative to the fund is sheer
economic chaos, the kind that hit Wall
Street and other financial centers in
1929, kept workers shuffling on bread
lines for years afterward, and finally
resulted in the bloodiest war this
world has ever known. Before the
war it was common practice for coun-
tries to deliberately drive down the
value of their own money in the hope
Of gaining temporary advantage in
world trade by being able to undercut
prices. And in the end, lower prices
led to wage-cutting and wholesale I'M

In addition to stable currencies, the

the loans eventually, wrecking their
projects and cheating the countless
small investors. And creditor nations
likewise used their lending power to
demand political allegiance from Dor
rowing nations.
The world bank seeks to replace a
world divided into contesting econom-
ic and political blocs with world in
which all nations will be able to de-
velop their resources without giving
up their independence. Long-term
loans at reasonable rates will be guar
anteed by the bank with security for
both the lender and borrower. Con-
troll of the loans will not be held by
a small crew of economic lone-wolves,
but will be vested in the United Ma
tons which are committed to peaceful
economic collaboration.

age brought by the war but will also

job of industrialization, which was in
terrupted by the Japanese invasion.
Industrialization of China, the Soviet
Union and Latin America means big
ger and better markets for the U. S.
But the credit of most of the world
is at zero point and the U. S. bankers,
who are practically the only ones in
a position to make loans, will be
anxious to drive hard bargains. Loans
with long strings attached were an
other everyday feature of the prewar
world we're trying to avoid. In those
days creditors would enforce high
rates of interest, which borrowing ma
tions would accept although they
knew they would have to default on

 Farmers of Bloomfield can as- sist the local fire companies by seeing to it that in the erection of new buildings adequate space is left between structures, by pro- viding cisterns for proper water supply, the installation of prop CT supply of fire extinquishers, the installation of fire doors and the use of fireproof material such as asbestos shingles on the sec tions of existing farm buildings which are too close together.
 Perhaps the service of the pres ent volunteer fire departments should be supplemented by the org ization of neighborhood groups, similar to the air raid warden groups, who would equip themselves with proper fire-fight- ing appar and would be trained to assist the regular fire men in the case of conflagrations within their respective areas. The idea seems worthy of considera- tion.

MORTENSEN ACCOUNTS BATTLE EXPERIENCES

 "From there I went to a depot called "Pheasey Farms" at a town called Kingstanding. From there we rode to South Hampton and got on a boat and crossed the Channel for my third time! Then at Le Havre (again) we got on pas senger train and went to Paris, where we had two hour lay over and I walked to the Eiffel tower. From there to Chamarande, France.

 Mortensen was inducted May 15, 1914 and was sent overseas on November 21. The War Depat- ment advised his mother that he had been injured on January 12 but not until the receipt of the above letter was the extent of his injuries made known. He previous ly had allowed the impression that a slight freezing of his feet had been his only suffering.
 According to hospital records, Mortensen has been recommended for the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart. the Infantry Badge and Good Conduct Medal.

FARM FIRES

The burning of the Forster dairy barns brought the estimated loss involved in the farm confla- grations in Bloomfield in the past three years to approximately a quarter million dollars to say nothing of the loss of production and the subsequent hindrance to the local war effort.
 To some this wholesale destruc- tion of Bloomfield's f inc f a r m properties m lay emphasize the helplessness of local fire com- panies in fighting such fires. To others it will make apparent the consequent need for much greater attention to fire prevention-a far more potent weapon to fight fire than any other.
 The finest equipped fire depart ments would be handicapped in fighting most local farm fires be- cause the nature of the buildings and their contents make them so inflammable that it is almost i'm possible for any fire engine to reach the scene of conflagration in time to be of much value in saving even the adjacent build ings. The origin of many of these fires is not known but there is an obvious need of a general inspec- tion for faulty wiring, the removal of homemade gadgets and worn extension cords, and the proper and safe installation of electric applicances by qualified electri- clans. There is need also for an in spection of portable internal com bustion engines and their exhaust, the use of gasoline and the stor- age of trucks and tractors in and around farm buildings and need for a strict adherence to the "no smoking" rule.
 Careless practices which in : clude the use of corn cutters as medium of cutting hay and blow ing it into lofts have been given as the cause of one or more of our recent fires. Spontaeous combus- tion from green hay in unventil- ated lofts is another cause of such fires and inexperienced farm labor may have made it's contribution.
 It would ger ly pay any f a rm IT to consult some fire authority for advice in fire pre- vention. Those who make it their business to study causes or fire will frequently note conditions

SEEING THE WORLD

Lieutenant Donald J. McCrann, Bloomfield genial medic, is dis covering the USNR Medical Corps service gives one an opportunity to see considerable of the world and most of it's water.
 After several months in Florida, Lieutenant McCrann's travels have taken him to California, thence to the Hawaiian Isles, the Marshalls, Saipan, and finally to Two lima. From the latter station he writes:
 "Your most welcome paper was awaiting me on my arrival at this island a little more than a month ago. It was good to read the news after ploughing through what seemed to be interminable miles of ocean.
 "Our island, or sandpile, as it is more aptly called, has been a veritable beehive of activity since it was taken. Our medical unit is engaged in building too and our hospital will not be ready for a few weeks. Meanwhile, we try, generally unsuccessfully, to keep busy and wait for the busy days to come that will make the days go faster.
 Living conditions are still a bit primitive but are improving. Washing in helmets and doing our own laundry will make us all ap- preciate Bloomfield all the more not that we didn't before we got into this mess.
 "There are still a few Nips on the is l a n d but they are being flushed out of cover. Air raids are infrequent for which we are duly grateful.
 "Our days are not but the evenings delightfully."- cool and we are entirely free of tropical dis eases. The barren aspect of the place naturally precludes any ob- stetrical practice.
