ble limit to the earning power of a skilled automobile worker. But there is the rub! An enemy inter venes. The strike has thrown a brake on production.
 A war-impoverished world is looking to the United States to win a hard game. Uncle Sam has passed the ball to Detroit, and it is down on the second yard line. Investments, yes; production, no! The opposition's squabble- play can defeat us. America has everything it takes to win but teamwork. Why not produce now to meet the needs of a desperate public, with the disputes to be settled later?

INDEPENDENT ALASKA
(By CHAS: ID. WATKINS)

Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president emeritus of Columbia University, suggests that Alaska the HaWa- ian Islands and Puerto Rico be made Independent self governing democracies under U. s. protection.
 He made the suggestion in a letter to Representative Peterson Democrat of Florida member of the House Territories Committee.
 Peterson inserted the letter in the Congressional Record saying it most important that the United States formulate definite policies on the subject.
 "In my judgment" wrote Butler, "other territories which may become subject to the jurisdiction of the United States-such Alaska, the Hawaiian ls- lands and Puerto Rco-should be set up by our gov- ernment independent selfgovernng democracies un der the protection but not the control of the govern men of the United States There should be two limita tons upon their complete independence their lations foreign powers should be subject to the ap prova of the President of the United States and ond litigants in these communities should have the right if they desre of final appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States"
 By adopting this plan Butler said the American peo pie would exert "very substantial influence the outlying islands and territories but they would not become part of the United States itself.
 "In my judgment" he continued, "this is vital for our future.

ALL TO GAIN

purchasing power already this year and none of the big threatened strikes have occurred: This is the substance of state ment made to the press late in Oc- tober by George Romney of the Automobile Manufacturers Asso- citation, in a position to speak for the whole industry.
 In his supporting statements, MT. Romney quoted figures which he is able to get in advance of any other news source. He declared that, on account of strikes in the plants of suppliers and makers of automobile parts, 350,000 fewer cars will be sold this year. Any body old enough to drive a car knows this means $50 million dol lars less money spent for cars this year.
 Everybody Hurt
 Cars on the road are a symbol of money in circulation; people going places and spending. Hotels, health resorts, oil stations and motor maintenance shops are hav- ing business turned away from them by disputes. Prosperity fol- lows the production of things use- full and desirable for people who buy. Probably no useful thing en- joys greater popular demand to- day than the automobile.
 The strike, during the progress of Americas worst war, actually retarded military production. Our generals said it hindered the de- livery of machines and munitions to help Americas fighting men win battles. And now it is inter- fering with the chances of those same men for getting steady jobs at good pay after they have fin ished winning the war. This is the road to economic ruin.
 Let Wages Advance
 Speedy recovery is more i'm portant to the American people now than any money considera- tion or any point of pride being contended. I am a man of rela- lively small earning and I believe l can speak for millions of Amer jeans who don't care how high wages go so long as they don't up- set the national economy. More over my faith in working men makes me believe they want no wage scale that will destroy jobs.
 Ever since the automobile busi- ness grew out of it's awkward age, 1t has operated on sound Ameri- can principles: CD Large invest ments in equipment, @ more out put per worker on account of the investment, (3) lower prices per car because of the big output, (4 more sales because of the low prices, (5) bigger profits because of the volume sales, and (6) higher wages made possible by more profits.
 Minutes Matter Now
 The demand for automobiles is such today that car production per worker might exceed all rec ords and still not satisfy the pub lie appetite for new rolling stock. Until production rates dwarf all . rraNinllS rocordc thoro ic xao .rici

Long Overdue,
Two Irishmen
Assume Office

LONDON, Aug. % CUP) - Two
Irish ghost" members of parlia-
ment showed up to take their seats
in Commons Tuesday. 10 years late
and looking for trouble.
Back in 1885, the northern Irish
counties of Fermanangh and Tyrone
elected a couple of stubborn inde-
pendentS named A J. Mulvey and
P. Cunningham to Commons.
Mulvey and Cunningham didn't
like the British parliament. They
refused to take their seats. Known
as the irish abstentionistS, they
didn't come near Commons in the
10 years, even to collect their S2i0O
annual salaries.
But the voters of Fermangh and
Tyrone reelected them again this
year and suggested they could cause
parliament more trouble by attend
ing than by staying away.
The pair walked into Commons
this morning. primed for two mai
den speeches that promised to red
den a few ears. They peered cur
iously at the unfamiliar goings-on in
the main lobby
At that point, the speakers pro-
cession swept past them on the way
into the house. The speaker was
arrayed in a long white wig and
flowing robes Behind him trailed a
retinue of high officials in knee
breeches, buckled shoes and swords
Mulvey peered uncertainty at the
procession and then at Cunning
ham.

Must be the speaker" Cunning
ham replied.
Whereupon the pair went off to
lunch, leaving their maiden speeches
