NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-W.D-
Notwithstanding, the exquisitely
dangerous sport of the rich, will
come in popular prices soon, be-
cause Of cheap travel to formerly
inaccessible places, James Ram
sey Ullman, mountaineer and
author of the best seller 'White
Tower" predicted today.
THE only reason mountain
climbing is so expensive is that it
has cost lot of money to get to
the mountains. Ullman said.
with lowered train and plane and
boat fares, you'll be able to climb
mountains at not much more than
the price of fishing trip up

life alone again. Some of them
may return to the mountain they
saw overseas-the high peaks
lathed in clouds.
They'll be able to find real
companionship that they can't
seem to get in civilian life," he
said. 1.-THE human bond is never
so strong as when one life is
attached to another by a piece OF
rope that keeps man from falling
thousands of feet.
In white Tower" Ullman's
hero is a pilot who finds himself
again after climbing a Swiss
mountain.

his hobby after he had produced

by the Germans, even down to
pots and pans and the smallest do

Shoes are so scarce in many
areas, the report stated, that it is
not unusual to see business wom-
en- and housewives on the streets,
carrying their shoes in their hands
in order to save them from wear.
Transportation is lacking and the
Germans carried away practical
ly all bicycles, which Netherland-
ers depend. upon for transporta'-

cles which are in use are for the
most part being ridden on wood

''Pewee" Stapleford
Officially Reported
AS Killed In Action

NEW BERN, Sept. 21.-T-Sgt.
Richard "Peewee" Stapleford,
radio operator on an American Air
Forces bomber, who had been re-
ported missing in action since
August 7, 1913, between India and
China, is now officially reported
as having been killed August l,
1913, according to word received
here from the war department by
his father, Floyd A, Stapleford.
Stapleford was one of crew OF
seven testing new transport
plane to fly supplies over the
hump into China, the message
stated. When last heard from, they
baled out in the upper Chindwin
valley in North Burma.

Although the people of Holland
are putting forth great efforts for
their own rehabilitation there are
more than a million Netherland-

cording to a field report to the
National War Fund, H. A. Marks,
compaign chairman of the Com
munity War Chest was advised to-
day.
The food situation in Holland has
improved, the report stated, and
while it is still far below an ade-
quate level the Netherlanders are
able to muster the strength to
start their own work Of recon-
struction. Evidence of this is
seen in the city of Arnheim which
was practically levelled during the
war, and where $4,000 people have
now returned to their homes, even
though in thousands of cases these
homes are merely shells.
Over a million people, the re-
port stated, are without clothing
other than that they have worn on
their backs for the past year. Their

by British photographers and
newsmen when they left the Ship.
This was his only reception.
At his side while the ship dis
charged mail and passengers was

he will pay his first visit to this
country in five and a half years
to see his aged mother, Queen
Mary, and pay his respects to his
brother, King George.
The Duchess will not come along
on that trip because she is going
to be busy getting settled in Paris,
he said, 'but she will be coming
over with me later"

The Two Greatest War BIulnlIers

FORGOTTEN"
THE army built this costly and useless road, of
course, because the japanese were in the Aleu-
tians and were menacing Alaska, and a land route
of supply to the threatened area was desperately
needed.
But, as Senator Magnuson says, the army built
the RIGHT ROAD in the WRONG PLACE, and
in doing so spurned the recommendations of every
competent authority.
ENGINEERS and Others FAMILIAR lDith mid
tDestern and western Canada had all rejected the
route the army selected" he recalls, "but the army
paid no attention to them.
"Not a single person COMPETENT to adUise

FOR only l8 million dollars the army could have
built a better highway and a permanently
USEFUL highway from Prince George in British
Columbia to Whitehorse-or about one eighth of
what it spent on permanently USELESS high.
way.
Such wartime blunders as the Canol and Alcan
projects are of course, beyond recall as far as the
money and effort spent on them is concerned.
However, as Senator Magnuson says, it only
compounds the original folly to PERPETUATE
such blunders-if only because that would make
the public skeptical of projects having real merit
"Opponents OF every large-scale constructive

THE American army authorities responsible for
the two greatest blunders in the war-the Canol
oil project in Yukon territory and the Alcan high
way from Dawson Creek in Alberta to Fairbanks,
Alaska-are no longer able to evade the RESPON
SIBILITY for those blunders or even to avoid
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of them.
They have finally been compelled to abandon
all pretense that the Canol project could serve
any useful purpose and have accordingly ordered
it closed down on April land thus the 134 million
dollars spent on it is down the well.
They know perfectly we'll that the same pro-
cedure is necessary for the Alcan highway, but
they still lack the courage to do the necessary and
inevitable thing in this case-although the Alcan
highway is just useless as the Canol project and
1t cost more money
AS Senator Warren Magnuson of Washington
said the other day:
"The army made colossal mistake tUhen it
built this 139 million dollar white elephant"
CENAToR MAGNUSoN KNOWS the facts
- about the l67l miles long and "a foot wide
highway which the army built across Canada,
diverting 10000 soldiers from the war fronts and
1000 civilians from the war effort for the purpose.
Except for the short portion of the highway
from Whitehorse to Fairbanks no future return
on the project is remotely possible.
As for the major portion Of the highway south
Of Whitehorse, Senator Magnuson says bluntly
that it is DEAD horse.
"The road NEVER has had any use tonnage

Churchill Denounces Socialism

lJRlME MINISTER CHUhChlLb uneTIlngly
l. described the dangers of SOCIALISM in his
significant and dramatic speech before the Con-
servative party conference in London, and un-
equivocally denounced the socialistic theorists IN
Great Britain who confront the nation with those
dangers
Sharply critical of the rising British spirit of
ACCEPTANCE of sociaStic fallacies as subst
tute for the traditional British system of demo
cratic free enterprise, Mr. Churchill said:
LET there be no mistake about ii.
1T is no easy cheapjack utopia of airy phrases
that lies before
"This is no time for rOindy pIatitudes.
"The Conservative party had far better go
down TELLING THE TRUTH and acting in
cordonce t0th the verities of position than
gain a span of shabbiIy bought office by easy and
tickle froth and chatter"
MIR. CHURCHILL once said he had not under
NA taken the duties of his Office with any inten.
tion of presiding oUer the liquidation of the
British empire"
What he now says may very we'll be taken to
mean that he does not intend that the historic free
character of Great Britain shall be undermined by
any system of social and economic despotlsm.
He might equally we'll be understood to be de-
nouncing the NEW DEAL and its oppressive So
cialistic system in AMERICA when he says:
"Woe betide those public toho seek to
slide into poUer dotOn the shppery>s! OF Uain

"This is no time for hun1bug and blondIsh-
n1ent but for grim and stark facts and figures and

WHAT portrait of NEW DEAL accomplish
w ments and aspirations along the road of
TOTAL SOCIALISM IN AMERICA is drawn by
those words of Mr.. Churchill.
He is determined that there shall be NO NEW
DEAL IN ENGLAND or any of its fallacies, but
that the system of free enterprise shall remain.
"No restrictions upon lUell-estabtished British
liberties can be tolerated." he said.
Control for controls sake is senseiess.
