been allowed to become such pests
that many adults stay away from
pictures such as Westerns"
musicals" 'thrillers" or COM
les" - all Of which are likely to
bring the children out in force.
Among the discomforts may
be listed the children who refuse to
stay put. They crowd in and out
of a row not only once but three
or four times. For example, two
will go past, followed by three
more. Then another group gathers
in row in front or behind and
they all file out. Then, not find
ing places where they all can sit
together, they come back again.
Drip Ice-cxeAzn
In SOME theaters where they are
known, they are even allowed to
60 out to the neighboring drug
store and get ice-cream cones.
When they come back everyone is
in danger of being dripped on.
Beyond this they talk to each
other. Those who have seen the
picture before, call out to their
friends, "Oh, just wait till you get
to the next part; or still worse,
That one there is the real killer"
In any case they spoil the plot
before it is unfolded.
Not long ago a well-known COM
edian was quoted in the news
papers as blaming the unruly be-
havior of young people in the
audience to the behavior of the
family at home when listening to
the radio.
At home they can talk out loud,
talk back to the commentator with
whom they disagree, and jeer at
singer or a scene in a play of
which they disapprove. Then the
children carry the same behavior
into the theater.
In other words, manners in
public are invariably the same as
those exacted or neglected -
at home.

Dear Mr.. President:
I want to register with you my OPP
position to your policy regarding COM
pulsory military training which you
announced in your shocking address to
joint session of our congress two
weeks ago. By being an echo for the
military, / am certain that you have
lost leadership with large number
of war-weary, tired people, both serv-
icemen and civilians.
In this brief address, which was a
reversal of the tone of your
former addresses, "a you, in very
practical sense, declared war by chal-
longing the world, in no uncertain
terms, to get ready for it; and (2)
you named the opponent as far as the
entire world is concerned. Also,
with one sweep, (3) you declared the
United Nations organization to be a
total failure as regards to making or
any real peace, and, in
so doing, az you ridiculed the idea
that there is any sense of brotherhood
among even the allies. By this same
token, 90 you relegated to the area
of "wishful thinking" any reliance on
brotherhood and love, for you stated
that any real peace must be founded
upon the might of force. Well, the
nations best prepared for war have
initiated all of them in your genera
ton and mine. (6) You spent time

CORPORATE INTERESTS FIGHT SEAWAY

the army engineers 10 be $27,000,000.
The difference between the amount
paid by New York and New England
at present rates and the amount which
would be paid under iva rates would
amount to more than enough to pay
the entire cost of the project every
year.
The amount of the cost to be allo-
Gated to the power development is
$93,375,000, while the difference of
$183,625,000 is to be charged against
the navigation development. Putting
it another way. the entire cost of the
seaway to the United States govern
ment would amount to less than the
cost of waging world war for single

They in Favor
Only Ii They Can
Control the Uses
(Reprinted From G.T.A. Digest.)

The st. Lawrence Seaway and Pow
er development is the most important
| public work which can be undertaken
at the end of the war. The resources
of this mighty river still belong to the
people. They have the right to devel-
op them for public benefit. Private
interests have long sought to acquire
these resources.
In 1921, the Frontier Corporation,
organized by the Aluminium Company
of America, the General Electric Com
pany, and the du Pont Company, made
an offer to the United States and
Canada to construct fully the ST. Law
renee Seaway and present it without
cost to the governments of the two
countries if, in return, the Frontier
Corporation would be allowed to de-
velop the electric power of the ST.
Lawrence river.
Government, backed by an enlight-
ened public opinion, would not consent
to turn over the resources of the peo-
pie to a small group of corporate in
terests and the offer was rejected
Since that time, all efforts made by
the federal government and state gov
ernments to develop the greatest natu
raj resource in the world has failed in
the face of the powerful and ruthless
opposition of corporate interests.
Since Woodrow Wilson, every presi-
dent has favored this development
Calvin Coolidge recommended it as
good investment rather than public
expenditure. Herbert Hoover fought
valiantly for it, and Franklin D. Roose-
welt constantly supported it both as
governor of New York and president
of the United States
Twenty-three states have made ap-
in an effort to complete
this development which would give
central North America deep-water ac-
cess to the sea and to the markets of
the world. Except for a short stretch |
Of about 4S miles, ocean-going steam
ers could now load and unload their
;argoes at Duluth, Chicago, Milwaukee, |
Detroit, Cleveland or any other Great
Lakes ports.
Besides providing deep waterway
or ocean-going ships, the st. Lawrence
Seaway and Power development would
generate 100000 horsepower of the
cheapest electrical energy in North
America The annual output of power
rom the Massena dam would be 49,
,00,000000 kilowatt-hours, which is
more than the total amount of power
generated in 1914 by the Tennessee
