Leon Rosas, based on serious study of authentic records. Now there is a movement on foot in England to double her productive output per man by 1872.
 Lest We Forget
 No longer ago than 1943, when America and England both had full employment, our American workers were twice as well off. They were producing enough to live twice as we'll as the British. About that time Britain was in- vesting only 3% of her income in equipment for additional produc- ton. It was like woodman say ing, "Why buy file? A dull saw pulls easier"
 The British point to Amerlca and say, Look! They work fewer hours day, earn more money and live better than we, all because they encourage more investment in tools to produce more goods per man." It's the truth but it may not be true long. America is start ing her postwar race with her brakes on-high taxes to discour- age investment. England wisely encourages production. Unless we adjust today's tax laws, we will be poor, watching the British fare we'll in 1872.

 He said the pending decision of the Civil Aeronautics Board re- garding a direct air route to An chorage from Seattle is of prime importance.

ASLEEP AT THE SWITCH
(AlaSka Weekly)

Much has been said in high official cir cles of the federal interest in Alaska as prospective homeland for thousands of service men for whom jobs may not be available during the reconversion period. Even the late President Roosevelt, in his speech at Bremerton, referred in glowing terms to this wondrous land of opportun- lty and assured his listeners that even the Government was making plans for assisting Alaska's development and set clement by returning service men.
 Repeatedly we have been assured by Governor Gruening that if Alaska would only help herself by making appropria- tions looking toward territorial devel- opment in various lines that the federal governments coffers would open like Pandoras box releasing flood of fed eral funds.
 Recently we ran the story of $1,072,- 600 requested by the Department of the Interior for the use of the General Land Office, Geological Survey and the Fish and Wildlife Service in the development of Alaska being Topped off the budget by the House Appropriations Committee because, 'this committee is of the opin-

Deserve the Best

A large and respected group of Americans often say Mother England" The British are proud and industrious people and the Americans respect them. The Brit ish well understand how to enjoy and appreciate life's good things. They deserve to live as well as anybody but they don't. Whats the reason? We'll, here's what one writer for The Economist, looking back at 1943, has to say:
 Industrial efficiency, as meas ured by production per head, was roughly similar in Great Britain and Germany, while in the United States it was more than twice as great as in the other two coun- tries" The statement is that of Dr.

ion that the testimony presented as to the purposes for which funds were re- quired did not justify approval of the item"
 Who was asleep at the switch? Nobody who has even a snattering of knowledge of Alaska but knows that irrefutable tes- timony could have been presented justi- flying approval of such an appropriation and proving that the funds properly ex- pended would become dividend paying investment rather than an expense.
 Alaska has created a Development Board and appropriated funds within keeping with its financial status. If there was any question concerning the advis- ability of such board it should be re- moved. Had the board been functioning, as it shortly will be, the needed testi- mony would doubtless have been forth coming |. .. . fact which absolves neither the governor of Alaska nor the delegate to Congress from censure for failure to make certain that the needs of the Terri tory were adequately presented to the appropriations committee.
 The inevitable postwar influx of peo- pie to Alaska is not a problem for Alaska alone, nor is it problem which Alaska alone can handle. Its own limited devel- opment program must have the support of federal agencies and federal funds

LOST MOTION

Good mechanics are economists. Whether a workman is a compe- tent millwright or a graduate me- chanical engineer, he is an enemy of lost motion. And lost motion is a menace to prosperity, serious as fire. When an engine is running idle it is only wearing out. When machine is driven with its brakes on, the waste is even more damaging; property is injured and energy thrown away.
 What is true of a mechanical assembly is true of human or ganization in this respect. The owners of a farm or the stock holders of a corporation are no penny richer for having a crew that works hard all day doing nothing. Work is necessary on a farm; sweat and callouses are only incidental; it's the crop that brings in the money and pays the men who till the land.
 Production Pays
 Prosperity results from work but not from all work. Prosperity results from productive work. People who kept busy but don't increase the yield might as we'll be resting. The man who figures out a way to increase yield with out extra labor is the best man on the job. He works with his brain; knows enough to stop lost mo- tion, to take precautions against fire and the like.
 In England there is a magazine called The Economist. It is Brit aims leading financial publication it is read and respected by busi- ness men and financiers generally Right recently it has been running a series of articles entitled "A Policy for Wealth." The articles have shown why England is poor: that is, why the English people must put up with low living stand ards.

REARDON READY FOR TEEN-AGE
 PHILA. CLASSIC
Special to the Democrat)


 Philadelphia, Aug. 17.-Sandlot baseball players will have their day tomorrow when the National Sandlot Addition Game will be played at Shibe Park, home of the Philadelphia Athletics. Twelve boys representing as many cities east of the Mississippi will oppose 12 Quaker City Sandlotters, stars of the Connie Mack Conference.
 Senator A. B. (Happy) Chandler new commissioner of baseball, is ex- pected to pitch the first ball that will start the game at 2 o'clock Presidents Ford Prick and Will Har- ridge. of the National and Ameri- can leagues respectively, and other baseball dignitaries have been in- Nted.
 Pennock in Charge
 Cities that will be represented by teen-aged baseball players are: Cleveland and Evansville, Ohio; New York City, Buffalo and Amsterdam N. r.; Washington, D. C., Baltimore, Md; Holyoke, Mass: Waterbury Conn: Clarkesburg, W. Va.; Desse- mer, Ala, and Butler, Penan. They arrived here Monday and have been drilling daily iunder Herb PennocR of the Phillies.
 The National Sandlot Auditor game is sponsored by the Sandlot Sports Association of Philadelphia an organization which is supervis- ing baseball program for 25,00( boys in the Greater Philadelphia area. The non-profit association is supported by contributions from firms and individuals who are in- terested in providing recreation fol teen-agers, and returning service men.
 Jack Reardon, Brooklyn A. c. frs baseman from Waterbury, Conn. will cavort at the initial sack fol the National All Stars in the biz contest. Reardon is sponsored by the City Amateur league.

to be a lot of experienced men scat- tered through the college ranks this autumn.
 Outside of the Southeastern Con- ference, the returning CT may enter any school he cares to without pumping into the one-year transfer rule. Only previous college service counts against him in the way Of eligibility. The year or two he may have played as Navy Or Marine trainee will not count.
 Current v-12 programs will en- able colleges who have joined the Navy to round out teams at least for the first half of the approaching campaign, after which depletions in the ranks will be filled by returning CTS. It is with the latter that coaches will rebuild nightly for 1946.
 And being erolled in the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps will tack another year or two onto the college careers of young men like Paul Walker, Yale's All-Amer- ica end.
 Right now the Southeastern Con- ference penalty for player enroll ing at a member institution other than the one he left to go to war is ineligibility.
 In their anxiety to hang onto the talent they once had, Southeastern Conference moguls failed to take into consideration the fact that while he was away the CT may have struck upon the field he want- ed to enter, and might wish to att tend a college offering the best op- portunities along that line.
 They refused to take their chances in the reshuffling, which easily could be beneficial.
 Its short-sighted stand already has kicked back on the Southeast ern Conference Center Bill Harris. who enrolled at Alabama in 1941, sought to complete his education at Auburn, A vote was taken, and it was decided that he could play only at Alabama.
 But young Harris obviously is not going to be told where to attend school, so he is headed for Illinois, member of the Big Ten, which joined the remainder of the nation in taking a more generous and sen- sible stand.
 Even the selfish coaches who talk ed Southeastern Conference pres- idents into 1t now admit they made a mistake in attempting to force CT football men to return to the col- leges they left.

Andrews Vonishes For Third Time

Boston, Aug. 17.-UP1--The Bos- ton Braves had double trouble to- day after losing twin bill to the existing Cincinnati Reds as well as their meandering n10undsman Nate Andrews.
 Andrews who has won eight games for the sixth-place Tribe. did his third disappearing act of the sea- son yesterday-a few hours before he was to pitch, and few hours after he had picked up his paycheck. General Manager John Quinn of the Braves refused to say whether the big righthander's latest antics would cost him fine similar to the $200 one that was slapped on him recently when he jumped the club on a western trip.
 With Andrews AWOL, the Braves had to call on ailing Mort Cooper in the nightcap and the $oO,O00 beauty lasted just four frames be. fore his arm gave out. Manager Del Bissonette scanned his bench for a relief hurler and the only one he could find was rookie Ed Wright. who had pitched nine full innings the day before. He was clipper for four consecutive singles and Q pair of homeruns while Bob Logan was warming up. The Redlegs won the game e-3, after taking the opener b-3.
