REGULATIONS PROTECT PUBLIC

Every now and then, we run across the
idea that the founding fathers of the Re-
public established our government upon
principles, without attempting to provide
regulations that interfere with the freedom
of individuals.
This is an obvious fiction. While it is
not the purpose of a constitution to pre-
scribe definite legislation, the fact is that
the social and economic life of the colonies,
after they won their independence. was
relatively simple. There was little occa-
sion for much regulation.
The same cannot be said of modern So
clety, with its complex business organiza-
ton and the nrofiteering qualifications of
mankind. 1t is absolutely necessary for
legislative bodies to provide definite APP
pLlcatlon OF constitutional principles of ex-
lstin9 conditions. Moreover it is fact
that whenever the legislature fails to make
reasonable regulations, the courts of the
land step in and set them up.
We are as much against unnecessary
regulation OF individuals as ANYBODY else
in the country. Certainly. we favor the
fullest freedom for ron and women inso-
Tar as their activities do not injure othe~s
We have learned. long ago, however. that
liberty under law is preferable to so-called
liberty wi hout law

UNDERGROUND NAzI FACTORY

The capture of the Nazi factory, 900
feet underground. which was expected to
produce iusilaRes for 700 iet-fighter planes
month reveals the extent to which the
Nazis. In order TO avoid damage from aer-
ial bombines. attempted to put essential
cs;ab lishments underground.
Ga course, the Germans did not have
sufficient time to put their war industries
uuder The earth, but, when faced with the
oserw htlmmg aerial offensive of the AL
ties, they made an attempt to salvage as
mUch ~ hey could. The factory captured
hy he Second Almored Division was in
an active salt mine, with something like
1000 workers being employed 900 feet be-
low ground level.
Il may be assumed that in the event
the Germans manage to undertake some
luther effort at world domination, the
leaders of the fighting Teutons will ar
range, before the conflict starts, to install
war industries underground.
Ia fact, unless the nations of the earth
manage % form some kind of security or
panization, in which the peoples can place
their trust, the prospects are that all ma
ti0ns. vulnerable to such aerial attacks, will
establish war industries underground This
viii prevent a surprise attack from inflict-
ing decisive damage.

THE ART OF WRITING

when the day comes that you can
write the way you speak, then you will
be good writer.
That is what a famous newspaperman
in New York, in 1900, told cub reporter
Another newsnlan, who was Long Is
land editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, re-
marked that he who can attain the SIM
plicity that,characterizes the writing in the
Bible, is good writer. Incidentally, both
of those great newsmen wrote as they
spoke.
A Citizen representative, in making
the rounds sof the city on Thursday, heard
many complimentary remarks about Ernie
Pyle's writing, and one of them spoke about
the grip" he had on the men at the front
and the folks at home through the reading
of his correspondence from the front
If you have one of his articles reread
It, and note the simple, homey words he
used. And if you Glanced to have met him
and conversed with him, you will note too
hat he wrote as he spoke.
With amateurs and with some men
md women also who have written a good
many years, the instant they sit at their
lesks or before their typewriters to write
anything, they strive to clothe their
thoughts iQ .wQgds altogether different
rom those they use when they converse.
For Son1p>Teason, theSsseem to think that
t3rittea laagsEase should be altogether diff
lerent from spoken. laaguage.1eo
James Boswell in his Life of Johnson,
remarked on several occasions how much
more interesting DR.. Johnson was when he
conversed than he was when he, wrote, and
the reason for that, Boswell explained was
that Johnson used simple words when he
spoke and ponderous ones when he wrote.
In commenting on that statement,
Oliver Goldsmith, who was close friend
and great admirer of Johnson, said that if
words were fishes, Johnson, in his writing,
would make every minnow whale.
Johnson is known among educated
people throughout the world today not as
the author of the first dictionary of any
pretention in the. English language, not as
the author Of countless, essays, a novel and
much poetry, but because of his conversa-
ton as set down faithfully. by Boswell in
his Life of Johnsons
In the same way that tyros begin to

many people also grip. pen or pencil as
though it was trying to get away from
them. They will find that, if they hold a
pen lightly, they will not only write more
easily but more apidly also. !.
If you want to be a good writer, write
as you talk, but don't, for an instant, think
you can attain that goal without much
practice, ..t

Merger os ARMED Forces Coming
et But With Doubts

The postwar merger of the
Army and Navy will be facilitat-.
ed, no doubt, by the endorsement
Of the proposal by Secretary of
War Henry L. Stinson.
1t should be recalled that James
+. Byrnes, recently director of
war mobilization, urged Congress
TO consider legislation to merge
the Army, Navy and Air Forces,
after the war, on the ground that
the present division Of authority
has caused waste and the dupIica-
ton Of authority.
These matters are entitled to
serious consideration but, despite
our lack of technical information,
we believe thai there is some
danger attached to any merger Of
lhc nations defense forces. Or
Viously. economies can be effect
ed through consolidation of Ger
tain agencies now duplicated in
both outfits
At the same time. a single head,
with complete power over the
Army, the Navy and the Air
Force, would tend to create and
establish single policy in mat
ters pertaining. to defense. The
danger that such control would
diminish initiative and tend to
stereotype defense plans, which,
IN some future war, might prove
disastrous.
While economy is to be achiev-
ed whenever possible and con-
thcting areas of authority should
be avoided, neither of these OBJ
