"Happy and Pleasant Experiences"

Happy and Pleasant Experience"
To the Editor of The Star:
Recently tried to purchase basket for
percolator. The department store referred me
to the manufacturer, and the manufacturer
sent one to me with his compliments in
voice marked mo charge"
I had written him inquiring the charge so
that might send check, and as an alterna-
tive asked him to send it to me c. O. D. The
manufacturer, by the way, happened to be one
OF those "Soul-less corporations" but, in this
instance, so-called "soul-less corporation"
exhibited fine spirit of friendliness and CO.
operation-in spite of rising costs, taxes, ETC.,
and in marked contrast to some individuals
who are out to get every cent the traffic will
bear!
You get so many letters gripping and COM
planning about this and that, one would think
there were no more fine people in the world
and that everybody was "anti" something! Why
not invite letters from people who have happy
and pleasant experiences. There really is a.
tremendous amount OF good in the world and
many fine people who refuse to make gold and
silver their god-people who delight in being
courteous and helpful who seek no monetary
reward but who are satisfied with the knowl-
edge that they are cooperating with pro-
gram for good and peaceful relations with their
fellow man. LILLIAN SINCLAIR LARGE.

Brituin's FeuduI Thinking

Britains economic plight is stimulating
widespread analysis of its causes, such as
the recent article by Russell Porter, econo
mic writer for the New York Times. Mr..
Porter, like many other critics, ascribes
Britain's current economic crisis to sub
normal production due alike to labor and
Industrial inefhcency. But he delves
deeper than most when he finds the root
cause of the evil in what he terms "Feudal
Thinking"
This ingenious thesis cuts back of social
list ideologies to capitalist monopoly
"cartelization," and back of that again to
the old feudal regime of the Middle Ages,
which was monopolistic in character, with
certain trends foreshadowing the "totali-
tarianism" of today. "FeudaliSm," he con-
tends, "in its latter and post-feudal stages,
developed into way of life that was
characterized not only by political tyranny
but also by the 'mercantilist' economic
system" in which "the absolute supremacy
of the state and the subordnation of the
individual to the state was assumed. Rights
to control production were given by the
state as special favors to members of the
privileged classes. Production and dis
tribution Of goods naturally were limited"
Despite the reign of "laissez- -faire" econo-
mics during the 10th century, feudal think
ing persisted in England, with its rigid
class lines and growing economic imperial
ism. The upshot was the rise of monopo-
listic cartels even under Conservative
Governments, which engendered inefi-
cheney and capitalistic characterization
And that, in turn, favored the trend toward
specialization, because the two systems had
so much in common. Thus, British So
cialism is engendering the same evils, in
even more aggravated form, because of the
utopian dreams of labor to live without
hard work in the new Socialist paradise
that had been promised.
In shining contrast, MIR. Porter depicts
the sustained achievement of the Ameri-
Evening star., 1947-08-09

can system of free enterprise, which, what
ever It's shortcomings, docs produce the
goods and has done so on an increasing
scale for more than one hundred years.
This is because it has given individual
Americans freedom and opportunity to
work and produce and enjoy the fruits of
their labor, and because it has maintained
a spirit OF healthy and vigorous 'competi-
ton which has supplied the incentive of
rich rewards to the most efficient in pro-
ducing." The groundwork for the Ameri-
can system was the absence of feudal
thinking, which did not survive the sea
change from Europe to a brand new
world
This is concept which fits in with the
gospel of "self-help" implicit in the Mar
shall Plan for Europe's recovery.

This. and That
BIZ Charles E. TraceweH.

Bobbe, being years DID, Is still a man of
few words.
Momme, daddy, kittie, bow-wow hello, bye,
hi. truck and swing are some of them.
Teething is not conducive to word study, but
Bobbie manages to pick up few new ones
every day or so.
Bye" however, is an old standard that came
in handy not long ago.
Next to Bobbies house is another house. as
is the custom in the suburbs.
There is big Persian cat living there. This
ratter boasts the name of Smoky, given on
account of his fancied resemblance to the end
product of combustion
X X
When Smoky's folks went away fer vaca-
ton, they made arrangements with Bobbies
folks to take care Of the cat.
Smoky is a reserved fellow, not much larger
than a rat, being mostly fur.
AS a ratter he has few equals.
Any neighborhood would be justified In sub
sidizing him.
He seldom brings one home smaller than
himself
Yet he never touches squirrels or birds He
is not above playful rush at dogs, who stand
in awe of him.
1t must be those furry hind legs, giving the
animal all the appearance of wearing leggins
Smoky's family arranged that Bobbie's
family should put Smoky in the house every
evening and let him out every morning
Since this was the first morning Bobbie was
vigilant.
He wanted to go right over and let the cat
out.
Lets CO." he said or words to that effect
mot now Bobbie," said mother Daddy has
not had his breakfast. After you have said
good-bye to daddy we will go over and let the
cat out"
Bobbie looked over at daddy, who by this
time was starting to eat.
Bye, daddy" he smiled.
Il
Mommie smiled. too.
But daddy's just eating. Bobbie," she re-
monstrated. "Soon he will be finished, and
then we can go,over and let Smoky out"
Bobbie smiled at his father who conveniently
was named Bob.
Bye, daddy" he chortled.
Nov you eat your breakfast, Bobbie" said
mother. "And when daddy goes, we will let
the cat out"
Daddy was discussing some of the major
problems Of the universe, by this time.
Science and government, in recent years,
have had way Of creeping into every mans
home.
There is so much to talk about, and some
times there seems SO little time at home to
talk about them.
Daddy was going to seize time, this morning,
and talk over some Of the problems.

Especially in Palestine. they have got them

up and making a grab for his hat.

Old-Fushioned Hammock

The countryman does not know all that
Is wrong with contemporary society. He
has his ideas about current goings-on but
readily admits that in a representative
democracy man Is entitled to his idio
syncracies If they do not unduly sand
paper the prerogatives of his peers. After
due deliberation and comprehensive first
hand experimentation he has come to the
conclusion that one Of the things this
country needs most is a renaissance of the
old-fashioned hammocks that used to hang
between trees in the farmyards.
There was something restful and relax
ing about them. After hearty dinner
of fried salt pork new boiled potatoes and
milk gravy, tamped down With a couple
pieces Of blueberry pie. man enjoyed
stretching out for forty winks. An old
fashioned hammock fitted the contours
of a mans anatomy. His head and his
feet were high enough for solid comfort
There was chance for air to circulate
beneath and around him. None of the
coopedup feeling engendered by high
backed. hossy swayers and gliders.
The hammocks came in satisfying and
emphatic color combinations. There were
deep side curtains and long wavy fringes
The ads in the mail-order catalogue told
the story with wholehearted enthusiasm
THE hammock is woven as close as the
finest tapestry. All the beauty and color
in design of an Oriental rug. Spreader
at head and foot: extra full deep curtain;
fine heavy fringe; size Of bed forty by
eighty inches. Upholstered and enameled
button tufted throwback tassel bar
Weight, five and one-half pounds. Could
not be duplicated elsewhere for $500.
Price, $2.51." 1t seems as though we are
headed into a bright, chromium plated
glossy era Of metals and plastics, but the
countryman believes that the old knitted
and woven hammocks of yesteryear per-
formed a service in helping maintain
society's equilibrium on an even keel.

Mr.. Chine's New Post

The Presidents selection of Cyrus S.
Ching to head the independent Federal
Mediation and Cancellation Service estab-
lished by the Taft-Hartley Act should not
draw criticism from either management or
labor.
An official of the United States Rubber
Company since 1929, Mr.. Ching has had
extensive experience in personnel and pub
lie relations work. He served as an in
dustry member of the War Labor Board
and his work there was of a character
which puts him beyond suspicion of bias
and which establishes his competency to
take over the duties of his new post
1t remains to be seen, however, whether
competency and fairness can make sue
cess of the new mediatory agency.
The new labor law makes it the duty of
the parties to labor dispute which affects
commerce to do everything within reason
to make and maintain collective bargain
ing agreements, to cooperate in arrange
ments for conciliation conferences, and to
participate fully and promptly in such
meetings.
The hitch is that the law contains no
provision for compelling any one to live up
TO these obligations. To the extent that an
element of duty is involved, it is on purely
voluntary basis.
Hence. If experience confirms the ap-
parent purpose of organized labor to dis
credit and oppose the new law at every
turn, it is difficult to see how the new con-
ciliation and mediation service can amount
to much. This is the more true since it
was the apparent intent of Congress that
, the agency confine its efforts to major dis
putes; rather than to less important con-
troversies in which its good Offices might
be more readily accepted
It\ does not follow, of course, that Mr.
Ching will not, or should not, make real
effort to make the new service effective
He will take over the staff Of the old Labor
Department. Cancellation Service, and that
staff is composed of experienced and capa-
BILE men. So some progress may be made.
But it would be foolishly optimistic not to
take note of. the probability that the new
agency will hove to travel a rocky road.

support If they are to be continued. They
must be sustained consistently or they
falter.
But the financial resources needed for
the drive toward the conquest of cancer
are so small as compared with the funds
heedlessly spent for other, lesser purposes
that the deficit should be oversubscribed.
The public knows that the number of
deaths from cancer is increasing It also
understands that so per cent of the men
and women stricken by cancer cannot be
saved unless or until new discoveries are
made. The whole struggle with cancer is,
in effect, striving to find out exactly
what it is, how it operates how to oppose
1t with corrective and curative procedures
intelligent and powerful enough to stop it
cold. Granted, it may seem incredible
that mere money should govern the result;
the solemn fact is that progress is being
accomplished in direct ratio with the
investment in the fight.
Hence the appeal for sufficient funds,
the plea for more than Immediately may be
needed Cancer is treacherous and ruth
less; it makes no concessions; the notion
IldI IL SCIlkeS oHly IIle aSeu no longer
is tenable-it destroys young people, too;
in the form of leukemia, it kills helpless
infants. No other movement in modern
times is more important than the cam
paign to defeat the most mysterious, the
most utterly devastating of diseases.

Guadalcanal Anniversary


Five years ago the advance of the japanese
to the south and the east was halted At a
little before in the morning of August =,
1912, small group of men from the I'd Marine
Regiment went ashore on the island of Florida.
Within an hour, the nearby island of Tulagi
had been invaded by the 1st Raider Battalion,
and by few minutes after 8 o'clock the list
Marine Division was swarming ashore on
Guadalcanal. And at that time the advance
OF the enemy was halted, finally and in
exorably.
Victories at the Coral Sea and Midway had
put momentary stop to the threat of invasion.
The former however, had furnished lesson
to the japanese which they were not slow
to understand. Their advance toward Port
Moresby and Australia had been undertaken
while their left hank-the region of the Lower
solomons-was unprotected. Immediately after
the battle had been fought, steps were taken
by the enemy to seize that area and to develop
