It is recalled, rather ruefully, by
those who have been watching for

that the Grace Line already has a

TOWARD NORMALLY

During the war, and for some time after
it ended, retail stores had to take what
ever goods were offered them, even when
were high and quality was low. Con-
sumers had TO be content with smaller and
poorer stocks TO choose from. This was
a situation that couldn't be helped-it
was the certain consequence of wars in
satiable demands on our producing ma
chine.
Now, however, times seem TO be rapid
lY changing-and for the better. Business
papers and trade journals report that buy
ers for retail stores are casting jaundiced
eyes on substandard merchandise. They
are questioning prices which seem OIL:
of line. They know that the consumer
will again demand the best possible pro-
duct for the least possible price-ant
they are out TO meet that demand.
This certainly does not mean thai
prices are going TO crack wide open-the

1T COULDN'T BE DONE

One Of the eleven leaders in the recent
war 10 receive the honorary degree Of
Doctor Of Laws from Columbia University,
Admiral King, in his address at the, con-
vocation, declared we should make known
10 the world thai we are prepared TO deal
with men and nations who "obstruct or
oppose the aims Of the United States and
the United Nations"
With the typical Guinness Of a soldier
or sailor, Admiral King added: LET us
speak plainly and firmly that we are
in a state Of readiness TO back up our
plain words with appropriate deeds, if
need be-" To interpret this as a threat
would be wrong. Rather, it is a warning
and timely.
But we cannot refrain from questioning
the performance implicit in the warning
if, while standing by our guns, as he
indicates we should do, we insist on re-
ducing our military establishment to the
point where it would be unable TO deal
with men and nations who might "ob-
struct or oppose" our aims or those Of the
United Nations.
This is the position we would be in if
the proposal TO slash appropriations for
Army and Navy as approved by the House
OF Representatives in its vote on the ma
tional budget should be accepted by the
Senate.

Department: Famous People,

THE SOUTH POLE MEN - (4)
Amundsen Beats Scott to the Pole.
In previous articles, we have told
you of the two famous English ex-
plorers, Robert Falcon Scott and
Ernest Shackleton, who led sue
cessive expeditions into the Ant
arctic early in this century -
Shackleton beating all previous
records in 1909 by reaching a point
within 81 miles of the South Pole.
In the end, it came to a race
for the Pole between Scott and the
Norwegian explorer, Capt. ROAD
Amundsen - a race which Amund-
sen won and which ended tragical-
ly for Scott and four companions.
Amundsen had set sail for the
North Pole but, hearing that Ro-
bert E. Peary, the American ex-
.plorer, had already succeeded
there. he secretly made his way
dn 191O-1D across the world. Us
ing the knowledge of Antarctic
routes and conditions which Scott
and hackleton had published, he
attacked the problem OF the South
Pole from the Bay of Whales, on
the edge of the Great Ice Barrier
the Ross Shelf lee. This is the
bay on which the Little America
bases of Adm. Richard E. Byrd
were later established. Amundsen
wintered there in 1911, and then,
on October 20. set out with dogs

LONG OR SHORT TERM BONDS

The Treasury, thai is to say the United
States owes s257, 0O0, 600, 600. More than
one-third Of this is payable in less than
five years. The Treasury will be hard
pressed 10 meet this obligation, especially
as the public is not as we'll disposed to
absorb short-term bond issues as in the
past.
individuals and firms with funds TO in
vest now want TO put their money where
it will create revenue over a longer period.
They do not want TO be burdened with the
necessity Of finding new outlets for their
surplus capital in safe securities.
Secretary Of the Treasury Snyder is
reported TO be considering the possible
advantages Of longer-term issues, which
would stabilize Treasury payments and,
as the Wall Street Journal puts ii, hedge
against possible rising short-term rates"
Such a switch would involve higher in
terest payments, which are already some
five billions a year. The Journal notes
that long-range borrowings, that is long
term bonds, cost twice as much as short
term money.
This is why Mr.. Snyder is working for
debt reduction before tax reduction. He
may be on the right track.
There is this TO consider: The Ameri-
can people, whether as individuals or
firms, are the largest buyers Of Treasury
bonds. They also provide the money
through taxation TO pay the interest on
and Ultimately retire the bonds. Even
though they receive larger dividends in
the form of interest payments on long
term bonds, they must earlier have put
the necessary cash in the Treasury for
these payments. Whichever policy Mr..
Snyder finally chooses, it is the people
who must pay, just as ii is the people
who clip Treasury bond coupons or their
equivalent. Ii would seem that debt re-
duction is the sound way TO approach tax
reduction.

Pole.
He had marvellous fortune. In
stead of the dreadful weather which
was to doom Scott to death, he
had mainly fair going, though he
had to march through some severe
billiards..
Amundsen's dogs won the Pole.

Twelve reached the home base

The party had to climb a noun

After this, they dropped 5000 feet,
and next had to surmount another
glacier. Then they were on a pla

sloped gradually downward to the
Pole.
Amundsen reached the South
Pole on December IA, 1911.
Meanwhile. Capt. Scott had sail
ed from London in June, 1910, two
months before Amundsen had turn
ed about from the North to the
South. He wintered in 1911 on Ross
Island.
During the spring, depot-laying
parties got far forward, but the
weather was of exceptional sever
ity; the sea ice over which stores
had to be carried broke up, and
some of the ponies (Which Scott
used instead of dogs were lost in
this way. Huge grampuses seized
others. Half his haulage power was
lost. AS the weather continued bad,

spare hardship to the remaining

MORE VITAL INQUIRY

Dr.. Reginald Daily, emeritus professor
Of geology at Harvard University, has an
nounced that the nations oldest seat Of
higher learning plans a long-range
geophysical program. Because earth
quakes travel with such great speed
through the earth's crust, Harvard's ma
tural scientists are combining TO find
out, if it is humanity possible, why this
crust, which varies from thirty TO one
hundred miles, and is sometimes known
as the asthenoscope or tetonoscope, is SO
confoundedly battling.
They want to find out how mountains
are formed, where volcanoes get their
heat, how and why metals are formed
and why they are where they are found.
The magnitude Of the program may be
imagined from the fact that the studies
will involve astronomy, seismology
oceanographY, v~olcanologY, geodesy. and
physics.
OF course the project is commendable
Ii is conceivable the studies will material

CAUSE FOR APPREHENSION

One factor which made the manufacture

belief that the materials that went into
them were exceedingly scarce. The press

recently been made that at the time they

Because Of the power of atomic energy,
for destruction as proved and for in

and the other materials required for its
development started On a worldwide
scale. The result is that what was oriqi-

proves to exist in large quantities.

Your Income Tax

@. Our 18-year-old son Leonard
went into business for himself
last year trying to run a model
ai-plane repair shop. He lost over
$500 on the venture. After he gave
it up, in, August, he got a job
in a tannery. During the rest Of
the year he earned $940 and the
tannery withheld $115 from his pay
for taxes. Can he deduct that $500
loss from his $94O income in figur-
ing his income tax?
A. The law allows him to de-
duct the $500 loss from his other
income in figuring his tax. If he
goes about it properly he should
receive a refund check for $115-
the entire amount withheld by his
employer-from his collector of
internal revenue.
He cannot claim the loss if he

There is a hoary story of a

king why the city had no walls.
The monarch pointed to his sol
diers and said, These are the
walls of Sparta-every nan a
brick" Thence u slang phrase.
According to the papers, the
Southern Presbyterian Church
seems to have gone to Sparta for
it's modern strategy, though the
same principal is set forth
in its own Manual of Arms, the
Bible. The Church is organizing
its men for aggressive work so that
each man will have a task.

post Sunday School, plany where
by the members of the mother
church accept responsibility for
organizing and maintaining Sun
day Schools in neglected districts.
The second item on the agenda
is the maintaining Of worship serv-
ices in vacant churches, Or IN
possible temporary buildings. The
laymen will furnish the backbone
of a new congregation, SO that If
a man has only a voice to con-
tribute to the singing his part
will be essential. Other laymen Will
.read. the sermons and prayers,
and direct the order of worship.
This is more than a scheme TOR
Christian work for laymen; or
even of establishing religious serv-
ices in unchurched neighborhoods.
It is the making of the bricks for
the wall of mansoul in an hour
of peril. The Church's present
task is overwhelming, and it needs
the personal activity of every
friend of God.
AS of old, O Christ, Thou didst
assign individual tasks to Thy
