Behind the Cisaref
Shortage

a substantial fraction to our friends,
we must pay price for our gener-
osity in domestic shortages,
Nobody begrudges such sacrifice
when it contributes to the winning of
the war against the nefarious Axis.
But it is essential that in all can
dor we should make clear to other
nations the temporary and emer-
gency character of American largess.
Obviously our workers and farm
ers would be unwilling in normal
competitive peacetime market to
carry foreigners permanently on our
backs.
Even the intimation that such
policy might prevail is deleterious to
international amity.
True good neighborliness, in the
building of better postwar world,
must start with candor.
In a friendly way we should en-
courage other nations to win pros
pefity for themselves by emulating
the American way of thrift and in
dustry, whereby the productivity of
the worker has been raised through
use of mechanical energy and better
tools.

against sabotage and espionage has
measured up so we'll to it's task.
From the very beginning of the
war, the Federal Bureau of Investl-
cation has been a bulwark of pro-
lection against disruption and de-
struction of industrial facilities and
communications - as enemy activity
long planned and thoroughly or
ganlzed.
W. THIN a matter of hours after
w Pearl Harbor, the bureau had
rounded up thousands of known
enemy agents and sympathizers and
had many more suspects under sur
VIGILANCE.
Thousands of American lives were
undoubtedly thus saved, vital war
activities were unimpaired-and at
the same time there was no abuse of
innocent people, and there was no in
vasion of the civil rights and liberties
of the American people.
In short. the Federal Bureau OF
Investigation has performed It's es-
sential duties in the wartime protec-
ton of the nation without employing
or even tolerating the gestapo and
OGPU methods of European police
systems.

ECONOMICS is indeed a dismal
u and complicated subject, but 1t
takes no pundit to recognize that
something is radically wrong with
the cigaret market.
Although explanations for the
near famine in cigaretS vary, it IS
apparent that the heavy hand of
governmental interference has upset
the delicate balance between supply
and demand.
In a dissection Of the situation,
Paul Mallon from Washington points
out that the Commodity Credit Corp.
has acquired a third of the current
tobacco crop for lease lend mostly
for shipment to the British. Recog-
nizing that cigarets are produced out
of tobacco that has been aged-for
several years, Mr.. Mallon says:
"The crop curtailment and man
aged releasing, lend lease process has
been going on for many years"
The situation is significant chiefly
as a simplified. object lesson IN
planned economics.
Obviously we cannot have our
cake and eat it, too.
If out of a given supply we divert

MR.. WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST,
Wyntoon, Cal
Dear Mr.. Hearst:
w + CANNOT find words to express our graft
W tllde for the publicity your papers have given
SO generously to the vlVlSectlon question. " on
have turned the spotlight on this evil hiding in
the dark and thus opened the way for us to con-
centrate our efforts on campaig On to place before
our California Legislature measure for the reg
ulatlon and restriction of animal experimentation
which would embody the best features of the laws
OF other nations-such measure as YOU proposed
to have prepared in your column of June - 1911.
In the meantime we pledge ourselves to sup
port and do every thing in our power to promote
the dog exemption bill'' which, we understand
Rep. Lemke will re-introduce in Congress. We plan
to have steady stream of letters, petitions and
endorsements 90 from California TO the chairman
and members of the committee in the District of
Columbia whenever the bill has received a number.
Likewise each of our California congressman
will receive petitions from their own constituents
asking their support when the bill reaches the
floor.
If there is any other way in which this So
cety can help from this distance please let us
know-we feel that our gratitude for all you are
doing to save our dogs from the laboratory, can
be shown by acts rather than words: So any sug-
gestions in regard to our work will be carefully
followed.
With the best wishes of the season for your
health and happiness,
Yours sincerely and gratefully,

THE annual Santa for SerUicemen
Il campaign, just C mplete d, has
again proved the public spirited pa
triotism of the thousands of Detroit

provide a Merry Christmas for sol
diers and sailors in Michigan.
This year, as last, EACH enlisted
man and woman stationed in this
state, including those on duty here as
well as the hospitalized, received a
gift.
In addition, gift box went TO
EACH hospitalized veteran of World
War I, including those in civilian as
well as government hospitals.
Evidence of sincere appreciation
is seen in the scores of "thank you"
letters received by the Times from
commanding officers, special service
officers and chaplains, and from
patients and enlisted men them
selves.
ID ESPONSIBLE for SUCCESS of the
IL drive were the thousands of
readers who contributed GIFT boxes
and some SAL 900 in cash for the pur-
chase of additional gifts.
Foremost among these were mem

Dear Mr. Hearst
MILWAUKEE post office clerks desire to join
WI the postal workers in the nation who have
expressed their thanks and appreciation for the
effective and vigorous support which the Hearst
papers throughout the United States have given
to the current legislative campaign to achieve for
post office employees their first permanent raise
in basic pay in over 10 years.
While strikes of postal workers have occurred
in foreign countries, the American postal employees
have always remained faithful and ever mindful
of their obligations to the government and the
public whom they serve. Might l call attention to
section 3 of article II of the constitution of the
National Federation Of Post Office Clerks which
states:
I'VE recognize the fact that legislation and
not the strike is the last resort in the adjustment
of our grievances and therefore we oppose strikes
in the postal service
AS civil service laws prevent postal workers
from taking an active part in seeking to elect to
Congress those candidates who would plead our
cause there is little that can be done to promote
our just demands. The support of the nations
press is one of the few avenues open to us to
aid in securing legislative action
On behalf of go members of Local g. Mil
waukee National Federation of Post Office Clerks
who represent % per cent of the clerical force in
our city, and particularly on behalf of the 1913

thank you and the Hearst newspapers for the

A Blueprint for Postwar
Prosperity

W
(Fooins is the Fourth Of Series of FiUe Articies)
BY MERRYLE STANLEY RUKEYSER -
THROUGH the years, Americans had the vigof~
i and the persistence to retain the role OF
ECONOMIC PACESETTER throughout the
world.
We took pride in our leadership and primacy.
And, accepting the international facts of life
as to inequality of living standards in progressive
vs. backward countries, we deliberately undertook
since the early days Of the republic to protect the
living standards of our workers. farmers, and
others.
Until recently, our right to do so was
unquestioned.
OF late, some Of our theorists, who take the
results of American prosperity for granted with
out relating them to the FUNDAMENTAL
CAUSES, have been preaching doctrine Of uni
versal equalitamanism.
IN THIS spirit, Henry Wallace in an address
L declared that after the war there must be NO
PRIVILEGED NATIONS.
Attractive as this slogan may sound, il
adopted, it would put lead in the shoes of every
American, and hold him back in the race for
material advancement until the coolies Of Asia and
the peasants of Europe CAUGHT UP with us.
AS formula forworld-wide ameoration, this
formula would be futile, for, if you diluted the
superior living standards of 1875 600 American n
into an international average affecting $500 O0CN
600 inhabitants of the globe, you would barely
lift the international average perceptibly. But in
the futile process, you would cause American
material well-being to take a nose dive down to
more primitive levels.
IF OTHER nations are to join us in material
l. progress, they too must give heed to the IN
GRADIENTS OF PROSPERITY and take steps to
make themselves MORE PRODUCTIVE.
The first obligation of good feighboriiness
is to be candid
The truth is that foreign nations cannot per-
manently count on subsidies from Uncle Sam as
an alternative to self help.
No government can stay in power, especially
IN periods Of stress and struggle that does not
attempt to reflect the authentic interests of the
nation.
TN DEBUNKING loose internationaist theoriz-
i ing, Bernard NJ. Baruch once remarked to this
writer that we should change our tariff emphasis.
He proposed that in the future we in effect
agree to invoke no import duties whatsoever
against countries which maintain wage and living
standards equal to our own. Such an approach,
he agreed, would put the tariff onus where it
belongs, namely, on sWeatshop nations which ex-
plot their own nationals with meager and SUBJ
standard levels of material life.
PROTECTION OF AMERICAN IIVIN l.
STANDARDS HAS BEEN AN. IMPORTANT
INGREDIENT IN THE NATIONS ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT.

pot the ingredients whtch experience has 8Eown to

Off To Good Start

The Washington Grove-Gaithers-

to a good start this week, accord
ing to Rev. Royal A. Rice, the di-
rector. On Monday, the first day
of the combined program, there
were l89 children in attendance at
the Auditorium, and on Tuesday
1911. Assisting Mr.. Rice are Miss
Betty Bradley who has charge of
the children under nine, and Miss
Marian Waters who directs the
older girls. Special features of the
week are the swimming parties,
on Tuesday afternoon for girls, and
on Thursday for the boys. There
is always on "open house" on Fri
day evening when the parents are
invited to see the work accomplish
ed during the week-usually some
form of handicraft. On July 18th
there will be special contest with
awards for the best dressed doll
babies.

mated that $4,000 man hours
are required for the repair of
one of the C-54s.
Most impressive of all is the
morale of the men in charge.
From the staff officers right on
down to the foremen they be-.
lieve they are doing a good job
second to none. They feel the
Importance of their work and
insist on the fellow-worker doing
his part. Morale is extremely
high. A constant study is being
made of every department and
operation with a view to making
correction wherever indicated.
Of the 10000 employees more
than ninety per cent are civil
ian and General Clark observed,
with justifiable pride, that there
had been no such thing as labor
troubles. Men and women, young
and old, white and Negro, work
side by side in complete harmony.
Absenteeism has been reduced
from more than IL per cent TO
slightly over 7 per cent. A two
shift day has been reduced to a
one-shift day with reduced per-
sonnet and increased production.
1t was revelation. 1t is good
for taxpayers to see where pub
lie money is being spent with so
much efficiency and with a con-
slant eye toward saving the tax
payers dollar. Wherever an old
part can be repaired for a small
percentage of the cost of a new
part the old part is repaired but
when the old parts repair is too
expensive it is replaced with
new. During the month of May
of more than 250,O0O parts han
died only seven defects were
found.
1t could be that the MATSC
method of operation would be too
costly for private enterprise.
