Strike at the Root

AS the world now knows to it's sorrow, Germany's warlords and war-mongering industrialists started preparations for World War II months before the Armis- tice of Nov. II, 1918, ended fighting in World War I. Preparations were begun the instant that Prussia's militariStS rec ognized the other war was lost. The first and infinitely the more difficult phase of preparation was economic. The mill tarists were sure of their fighting man. power, but not of their economic resourc- es. They knew Germany's youth would reach cannon-fodder age in time for the World War II then being planned. But they knew also that fighting manpower, regardless of quantity and quality, would be impotent without abundant mater ials. Of these, Germany had little. They had to be accumulated from outside Ger many. So the militarists set about doing just that with characteristic German thoroughness.
 They devoted 20-odd years to their task. They succeeded astonishingly through such media as their notorious cartels, tricky trade agreements and in- IeILdLlOI1d1 CIeOlL uOCuS-O OOCuS-1llC1uu- ing large chunks of cash city-slicked from Uncle Sam As result Germany had everything thought needed for venture in world conquest when Adolf Hitler sent his Nazi legions across the Polish border in September, 1889. That order would not and could not have been given if re- straint had been placed in earlier years upon Germany's operations in fields of international economies In the light of such experience, statements to a Senate committee recently by William L. Clay ton Assistant Secretary of State, assume an importance impossible to eXaggerate. He reported that the United Nations are engaged in a ruthless campaign" to stamp out German economic spearheads in all neutral nations. Object of the cam paign obviously is to prevent nations like Nazi Germany from nourishing their ma- terial and financial sinews for another attempt at world enslavement
 Certainly it must be the prayer of all peace=loving peoples that campaign like that described by MT. Clayton will be pressed with total ruthlessness, and with vigilance which will not be lulled or dulled when peace reigns again.
 Such campaign is one sure way to stop the militarists before they get start ed. It is one which cannot be neglected without exposing the world to danger of another war so terrible that the survival of civilization itself would be gravely in doubt.

Scrap Paper Means War!

During this war we have been urged to participate in it's prosecution through such exigent means as sacrifice and cou- age. We have seen loved ones depart ana enter into combat with the enemy. We have suffered their loss and shared their pain and misery
 Thus, it is, when we are appealed-to for our participation in salvage drives we tend to brush aside these appeals be- cause they appear so prosaic and com monplace, in comparison with the heroic sacrifices of the world. piece of scrap paper is a banal, dull and unimaginative token of reality alongside carbine or Q flame-thrower-or so it would seem.
 Perhaps through the medium of self examination we will come to realize that we are unimaginative rather than is the piece of scrappaper. Certainly there IS color and excitement to be found in the realization that the same piece of paper, should we make it available to our salv- age committee, will soon be riding the swift winds of the sky or the rough wa ters of the Pacific wrapped around component part of that very same car bine or flamethrower, protecting 1t against the clements, which are caprici- ous foes and allies depending upon their WI1llIl, d11u dSSu1A1S JUL C1OOCo t111C NeaA- bine and flamethrower will find it's jour- neys end in the useful, capable and cour- ageous hands of fighting American sol diey. Surely such career is imaginative and colorful!
 On July 20 a city-wide scrappaper col lection will be undertaken in Waterbury. Located in thousands of city cellars, at tics, garages, sheds, kitchens and else where are tons of such paper neglected as to its wartime purpose.
 Such paper in that capicity is dull and prosaic and, in most instances, a nuis- ance to householders It is misfit in the midst of such idleness. It serves no pur- pose. To burn it is utter waste. To throw it on city dump is effort expend- cd falsely.
 There is but the one answer Save it, collect it together in neatly tied bundles and have it ready by July 29 for collec- ton by the volunteer workers of the salvage committee. Send it on it's way to the battlefront bearing the victorious weapons of Americas industrial might, secure and protected to where eager and sweating hands of our fighting men await this might!
 SAVE THAT SCRAP AND BEAT THE JAP!

first coming on the Washington scene. He maintained this post under President Truman until his resignation this week.
 filling for many years he has been uI1- der constant medical attention for some time. Close associates and even critics have openly acknowledged the mans tremendous courage and reserve stamina in fulfilling the laborious and exhaust ing duties upon his shoulders, despite his illness.

Harry L. Hopkins

With the resignation of Harry L. Hop kins as confidential adviser and emis- sary for two wartime Presidents there is dissipated the aura of mystery and Won- der which surrounded the man since first assuming government duties. Now in retrospect we are able to view MT. Hop kins as sacrificing, unassuming indiv- idua1 who has courageouSly given of his own health and stamina in the interests of his country.
 Were it not for his ill-health MT. Hop kins would undoubtedly go on serving his country in the thankless capacity he has so well and capably fulfilled. A close confidant and adviser to the late President Roosevelt his ability and acu- men were given double recognition, in the immediate acceptance by President Truman, of his continued assistance in governmental affairs
 Because of his reticence in openly seek ing the bright glare of publicity coupled with the acknowledged fact that no one was so close to President Roosevelt dur ing all his presidential years, Mr. Hop kins soon was painted with the multi colored brush of mystery, awe, rumor, gossip and speculation. His seeming in- difference to this practice tended to ac-
 
 have had.
 He ignored his critics and the rumor- mongers and raced back and forth be- tween continents bearing the weighty and responsible plans of America and it's virile entry into the worldwide scene. He was at the late Presidents side at all the important national and international conferences and has only just returned from Moscow as special emissary for President Truman. It is with regret he has informed authorities he will be un- able to attend the Berlin conference of the big three scheduled Soon
 He first entered the government as Works Progress Administrator in 1885 and resigned this post in 1888 when ap- pointed Secretary of Commerce, a posi- ton he held until late 1940 when he VOL untarily stepped out to organize Amer ica's then budding lend-lease program. In 1041 he became .le officially accedit- ed special adviser .nd assistant to Pres ident Roosevelt although he had been saving in that capacity, ex officio, since

Senator Tunnel of Delaware than asked Governor Lehman how much farm machinery UNRRA was shipping overseas.
 "I don't want to mislead this committee Lehman replied. "Percentagewise it's practically nothing, perhaps two or three per cent of our total produc- tion. However. we asked for I71,0OO tons of food to feed Europe's starving people. We're getting less than 5000. Now some people are complaining because we've given them ma chinery to grow their own food"
 Lehman also pointed out to the Senators that UNRRA is now forced to buy considerable ma chinery in Canada. The Dominion is eager to move in on the post war European market. Lehman said, but he also cautioned that Canadian tractors require Cana dian repairmen and that the chance to move in on our export trade.
 The Committee tried to find out just what the Government can expect to get back out of lend-lease we have shipped to Europe. Neither Archeson, Clay ton. Somervell, nor the FEA could answer. Admiral Land said the Maritime Commission would lose nothing. since the U. s. kept title to all ships on lend-lease.
 FINALLY, one Senator asked if there wasn't some overall body which knows all about American property abroad and whether it's surplus or not. But no one was able to answer.

Press Comment
A FEW MORE BIRTHS

Christian Science Monitor)
 Relaxation of the ban on building railroad passenger cars does not mean civilians may stop asking themselves, "Is this trip neces- sary?" It does mean that the transfer of troops to the Pacific will be facilitated after the first of the year. And there will be little more room for the business man or others who must travel.
 It is indicated that 250 cars may be built each quarter, commencing this fall. These will include all types, except stainless steel. Just what even 500 more cars could mean if divided among a dozen oi the busiest routes may best be re- alized by asking a few harassed ticket-clerks and reservation off, fees. Even a dozen more coach seats or berths daily would be a welcome addition. Thank you, WIPE.

Lehman has been greatly trou- bled about the danger of acute starvation in Europe next winter, and fears the United States will get the blame. Actually, there is food in Europe; but it is un- evenly distributed and difficult to transport to cities. Meanwhile, European railroads are overbur- dened.
 Governor Lehman, there
 fore, went to see StiInson to
 point out that the U. s. Army
 had 8OO,O0O trucks in Europe,
 and he wanted to borrow 5000
 of them for food distribution.
 Stimson listened briefly, but turned the subject to the politi- cal situation in Europe He seemed much more interested in whether Europe could keep the peace, ap- parently forgetting that people with full stomachs are more peaceful than those half-starved. Lehman got no definite answer, and still has been unable to get an answer from Stimson's gen. erals. They keep saying they need trucks for "deplOyment".

COME, COME, CHILDREN, IT'S TIME WE ALL GREW UP

A week or two before the Presi- dents death prepared for publi- cation in my column an article on cerebral hemorrhage, in which I explained, as firmly and gently as possible, that "any one who IS or thinks he is subject to very high blood pressure (160 or over) owes it to himself Cor herself) to have a physician examine the retina at least once a year for signs of mirl- ute hemorrhages from the arterioles which are visible through the re- tinoscope"- the gadget the doctors uses to peer into the interior of the eye. The retina is the sensitive film at the back of the eye. and with such an instrument, called retinoscope or ophthalmoscope, the physician can see not only the optic nerve but the minute blood vessels which show scleosis or hardening of the arteries( arteriosclerosis) can be diagnosed by ordinary physical examination.
 The article was promptly reject- ed. Editorial advisers who know from long experience what readers want, and to whose judgment even this bull in the china shop has learned to defer, feared the article might frighten too many readers who have or imagine they, have high blood pressure.
 But upon the Presidents sudden passing came editorial telegrams asking for an article on cerebral hemorrhage! I felt little interest in the subject then, but dug up the carbon copy for the rejected article and re-submitted 1t. How many papers printed it uncensored don't know. How many readers were frightened by it don't know. know only that, so far, nobody has told me he or she derived any benefit or help from thel article. Two correspondents have told me it frightened them or some one III the family.
 This is painful and discouraging to me. I could file Mrs. L. F. C.s complaint away and slip out the garden gate and through the patio between my playroom and the stu- dio, to forget this and other world ly cares for an afternoon on the bowling green-God bless the loaf CT who invented lay? bowling - but I know too well how it will haunt me indefinitely. There are a dozen sins I could commit with out overburdening my conscience, but the thought of this mother be- ing scared sick by my singular lack of sympathy, as happened to catch the poor soul at g time when her daughter was not there to pro- tect her, that I can't dispel. It seems to show that the I, @. of the general reading public is still child like, so far as physiology, hygiene sanitation and health are con- cerned.

 The buoy was not fulfilling it's purpose as it drifted. It had only fulfilled it's purpose when it was anchored in one place to warn ships away from dangerous waters. once it broke it's moorings, it was no longer a help but nuisance. AS derelict it floated through the lanes of ocean traffic, endangering propellers with which at any mo- ment it might have become en- tangled.
 The drifting life is the aimless life. u is also the dangerous life. for the devil is always full of sug- gestions as to how we may employ spare time. And the drifting life is the unhappy life. The buoy. sur- mounted by a bell or light is do- ing something to make the world safer and better.
 It may not appear very thrilling to have to stay in one place and do the same thing year after year, but 1t is the buoyS fastened to the shoals and the people who stay put in village, countryside, or city which make the sea safe and the life of the world stable.
