One Wire Carries Both

AN INTERESTING experiment
was conducted in South Caro-
lima early last month, when a
rural telephone system went into
operation, using established cleo
trio power lines instead of the
usual telephone wires.
Officials of the Southern Bell
Telephone Company and the Aiken
Electric Cooperative set up a sys-
tenn to serve six farm families
as a starter. The engineers ex-
planned that the voices are trans
mitted by high frequency currents
with which power currents do not
interfere.
If the experiment improves the
success of the system, it will near
much to the spread of both cleo
tricity and telephones into rural
areas. With rural lines rapidly
covering the farming areas of the
nation, the new operation means
the reduction of costs because it
eliminates the necessity of another
line of poles and wires.

Sugar

The validity of Sugar ration
stamps Nos. 8 and 10, for home
canning, has been extended through
December 81, by the Office OF
Price Administration. An OPA Of
ficial has announced that present
plans calls for continuation of cur
rent individual sugar rations dur.
ing the first four months of 1947.
A new ration coupon good for five
pounds of sugar will become valid
or January 1 and will be effective
for four months. Improvement in
the supplies of sugar next year
may allow individual consumers
five more pounds each than they
were permitted to have in 1916,
according to the Department Of
Agriculture. Amy improvement il
was said, may not be felt until
after April LIST.

Acceptance In Theory

MRS. MILDRED McAfee hor-
ton, former Commanding Of
ficer of the Waves, and President
of Wellesley College, wants Ameri-
can women to become more articu-
ia.e in their conviction that democ-
racy is the best system to govern
ment.
That lady says that too many
Americans accept democracy with
out knowing why and contrasts
this with the behavior of the aver
age Russian student, who speaks
with great conviction on the vir-
tues of Communism.
We think that Mrs. Horton calls
attention to an evident necessity
IT our form of government is to
be permanent. While she does not
say SO, we suspect that the easy
and unintelligent acceptance of de-
mocracy in this country is due to
the failure of many Americans to
practice it.
The essence of our conception of
Government is that it shall oper-
ate for the general welfare. This
theory is effectively denied by
various organizations which de-
vote themselves exclusively to the
attainment of selfish detectives. It
is seen in the Hobbies that work on
Congress, in the efforts of many
Americans to get something for
nothing from their Government
and in the failure of many of us
TO stand firm for the principles of
good government when some poll
tician points the way to easy
profits.

Like many other men who have

fees without sufficient political ex-
perience. he attempted to absorb
that experience vicariously. The
very fact that he lacked an under
standing of political and personal
relations caused him to accept ad-
visors and councillors who frequent

had been less advised his conduct
would have been less ill-advised.

Cox Suggests Coal IVA

JAMES NJ. COX, former Governor
of Ohio and candidate for Presi-
dent in 1920, suggests that the ma
items coal industry should be or
gained and operated "under an
authority in spirit comparable to"
the IVA.
Mr.. Cox says that we have al
lowed the control of coal to be
placed so carelessly that one man
is able to seriously affect all i'm
dustry and that Congress should
act to avoid future strikes in coal
production.
The Ohioan knows that many
people will call the suggestion $50
cialistic" but he asserts that min
ers "have been left to live in
squalor, not knowing how to live
the mselves or how the rest of the
country lives" Consequently, the
miners believe, with some justi-
fication," that Lewis is their only
friend.
1t remains to be seen whether
Congress, when it meets in Janu-
airy, will seriously consider the es-
tablishment of a coal authority
with power to operate the mines
with the conservation of coal and
"the manhood linked to coal"
At the same time, the people of
the United States might as well re-
cognize that whenever any man, or
small group Of men, in control of
business or labor, establishes,
maintains and utilizes the power
tn bring to a halt the essential
functions and activities of the en-
tire nation, the time has come for
the Government to take whatever
action is necessary. If a coal au-
thority is not the best solution to
the problem, then it is up to some
body to suggest the proper answer
to the question.

Housing Blues

"RANKING as usual will not
meet the housing emergency,
declares Mr.. Wilson W. Wyatt,
National Housing Administrators,
who finds himself in no position
TO implement his avowed aim of
mass producing prefabricated
houses to ease the veterans short
age.
The RFC has turned a fishy eye
or some of the loans suggested.
II is admitted that, by ordinary
standards, they are not what banks
would term eligible paper, but
there is no certainty that prefab-
ricated houses will be permanently
in demand and therefore, if any
body is to produce them in guam
tity, they must have some help
from the government.
The construction of houses has
made about as little progress as
any process in the American econ
omy. There has been change in
the style and size of houses all
over the nation but, as rule,
there is dependence upon one-at- a
time construction, which is cost
,sly affair.
The Housing Administration is
up against other difficulties in
connection with the effort to chan
mel construction into the building
OF homes. Price control is out and
production control badly webbing.
Consequently, many veterans who
need homes hesitate to build, at
high prices, upon borrowed money,
because they Gear the overwhelm-
ing debt that will be left when the
boom sizzles and incomes decline.

Q.uL.e Ny!o u-ent subscribers to the
New Republic.
l refer to the name Henry Agar
Wallace.
l have talked with a great many
men who knew Wallace well. Most
of them who liked him still like him
But many who supported him in the
past follow him no longer.
One of them said TO me:
Henry Wallace has been drowned
at last in sea of ideas. He has
gone down for the third time and
there is nobody with lifeline ham

experienced government official, a

equipped with mathematical mind
sharp as a steel trap-each of these
men followed Henry Wallace long
way. But each man at one point
in his career suddenly stopped
aghast at one of Wallace's seh-cre-
ated misadventures. shrugged his
shoulders and regretfully turned
away.
One of the first criticisms you hear
from Wallace's political friends is
that he has no political sense,
AS head OF the department Of ag.
riculture, Wallace, according to
most disinterested observers, was
sAcess as policy-maker and an
administrator. Don't bring up the
little pigs-he did that against every
one Of his natural predilections)
AS secretary of commerce he was
a dismal failure.
Wallace did understand agricul-
ture, agricultursts farmers) and
agronomy. He believed that he had

for solving the economic tbusiness)
ills Of the country. But what he
didn't realize was that he was handi-
capped by what is incorrectly called
an ''inferiority complex" when it
comes to dealing with human be-
ings who made the wheels of bust
ness go round. He had strange
and deep suspicion Of the business
world. Perhaps that wasn't SO
strange for it reflects the natural
attitude Of the farmer toward the
"city slicker." Perhaps it was an.
other phase Of that "shyness" which
characterized Wallace.

Distrust In India
THE EFFORT to find a soluti

THE EFFORT to find solution
to the Indian problem continues
t. founder on the hostility between
the Moslens and the Hindus.
Recently, Moslem official in this
country declared that the Mus
Inns in India, numbering 100000
coo, will not accept or tolerate
Hindu rule and reiterated the de-
hands of the Moslem League that
India be divided into Pakistan and
Hindustan which would permit
the people who constitute ma
jority in the respective regions to
have their own government.
The Hindus, who greatly out
number the other religious de-
nominations in India, insist upon
united country, to include Brit
ish India as well as the princely
states. Under such an arrange
ment, they would outnumber the
Moslems by nearly three-to-one
and would be easily able to con-
troll the policies of the govern
ment.
One of the most telling argu-
ments used by the Moslems relates
to the 100000 Hindu outcast
untouchables, who live little better
than beasts of burden. The Mos
lens suggest that if the Hindus
are willing to treat the uhtouch-
ables in such manner, they will
not hesitate to Cypress and mis-
treat the Moslems if they are per-
mitted to have full control of the
proposed government.
