SLOGAN Markings

Quietly, without any fanfare, the Post
Office Department about July began
to use special cancelling dies in aid of
the Federal rehabilitation campaign.
Mail originating in Washington, New
York, Chicago, Los Angeles and a dozen
other cities now carries as an integral part
of the postmark the printed slogan Hire
the Handicapped: It's Good Business"
The number of envelopes and cards re-
ceiving this inscription during an average
day has been estimated at 50000,000.
Soon a similar employment of Depart
ment canceling machinery will be de-
veloped in behalf Of the drive to stop
destructive forest fires. The Post Office
has indicated it's cheerful willingness to
cooperate with the Forest Service in the
drive to educate Americans to: Keep
America Green" At least thirty different
towns shortly will be supplied with the
necessary dies for application to letters in
transit.
There is nothing novel about the new
program except that it signifies an extern
sion of the use of an available medium
of publicity which by its very nature
reaches all classes of people. Foreign
Netherlands Switzerland, Sweden, Austria
and Great Britain-have adopted the
same procedure, approximately the same
technique, in the interest of many diff
ferent activities. Australia promotes tele-
phone business with slogan dies, Ireland
advances the tourist trade, Belgium con-
ducts a propaganda for safe driving. Our
own Treasury Department for years has
furnished Post Offices throughout the
United States with markers reading:
Build Your Future Wisely, Safely: U. S.
Savings Bonds"
Such expedients are justified, as all
advertising is, by their results. Since
stamps must be cancelled with something,
they might as we'll be Cancelled with
devices of national social value. The
philatelic fraternity favors slogan mark
ings, and the lay public never has ex-
pressed any objection to them.

Horrible People Increasing

To the Editor OF The Star:
THE old order changeth yielding place to new
And God fhlflls himself in many ways
Lest one good custom should corrupt the
world"
Thus wrote Tennyson. y
Is the good order of democracy about to
corrupt the world?
Miss Vests keen article on the horrible
people" attending the Wallace convention
raises this question.
Scientists tell us that world overproduction
is the sinister threat of the future, q threat
boding greater disaster than the atomic bomb.
Yet, because of the humanitarianism that
flows from democracy, it rapidly is pulling
this disaster nearer by providing the miheu,
the climate, in which millions of low-ability,
irresponsible persons are encouraged to pro-
duce millions and millions of other low-ability,
irresponsible persons.
Democracy doggedly resists the teachings Of
science regarding heredity, where human be-
ings are concerned and clings tenaciously to
the theory that education and environment
will provide salvation for humanity. But how
can education salvage the uneducable, and
who is going to provide the favorable environ
ment when low los predominant in society,"
The tender, nay psychopathic, concern which
has been fostered in this country for the
w-ability groups results in conditions being
rugged in their favor, SO that they have a
better chance of increase and survival than
the normal, capable and gifted groups.
Actually. democracy ploughs and harroWs
the social garden especially for these weeds
of humanity, enabling them to flourish to the
detriment Of the good the brainy and the
industrious. These latter have their energies
Slapped by having to tend and care for the
weeds Then, the benefactors have their
chances of survival lessened by being choked
by the weeds they cultivate
The irony of Henry Wallace's promotion OF
such group of undesirables is that he is
one of the countrys foremost geneticists and
has made millions of dollars by applying the
laws of heredity. He knows that these laws
operate the same for all living things, includ-
ing humans. In offering leadership to this
unstable human mass and encouraging them
to aspire to run the Nation, he is breaking
faith with the truths and principles he has
used for his own considerable enrichment.
That observant old Roman Horace said:
"The brave are born from the brave and
good In steers and in horses there is to
be found the excellences Of their sires; nor
do savage eagles produce peaceful doves
Because democracy pays so little attention
to the cultivation of the "brave and good,
and seemingly strives to perpetuate, not the
excellent, but the mediocre, it may prove
to be the good order which, in shorter
time than we like to think possible, will cor
rupt not only our Nation, but the world.

Leprosy Readily Communicable?

To the Editor Of The Star:
The Guerrero case prompts this letter.
During the winter of 19l8-19 there was a
leper at Walter Reed Hospital, United States
soldier, who had contracted the disease in the
Philippines
The nurse, a personal friend of mine, who
attended him, was required to put on robe,
rubber gloves and mask when entering his
room. Everything that came out of the room
was steriized.
What does Mr.. ziegler mean when he states
that leprosy is remotely communicated"
Why are there 10000 lepers in the Philip
pines, according to his figures, If the disease
is not readily communicable? c. N.

Leave Germany to the Germans?

Leave Germany to the Germans?
To the Editor of The Star:
With all due respect to such female dema-
gogues as Rebecca West and Dorothy Thomp-
son, we would like to point out that more
than half century ago the great German
philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wrote in his
"Genealogy of Morals: 1--WE require an uncon-
dtional union with Russia, together with
mutual plan of action which shall not permit
any English schemata to obtain the mastery
in Russia. No American future!'
The fact remains that we have no business,
racially or politically, debating the recovery
programs of European nations, and our con-
slant attempt by force of arms to select and
dominate European political parties merely
turns the so-called liberated peoples against us.
We should get out of Germany. bag and
baggage, and leave Germany to the Germans
and the Russians, who, politically and racially,
have much in common, too much, indeed, to
be influenced by the inept attempts OF State
Department Rabbits to regulate their lives

One War; Three Acts?

To the Editor OF The STAR
Now that the talk of war and its imminence
has returned, one matter in particular should
be clarified, that of Technology. From the
commencement of the latest war until this day,
constant reference has been made to it as
World War II. Inasmuch as there was merely
an "intermission" between what has been des-
ignated as World Wars and II, would it not
be only logical to refer to them as World War
Acts and Acts II? Hence, should there be
another disaster, it might well be called

The Extension department
feels that the results of this sale
are very gratifying. In J IN e
when the pool movement was
first started prices were still
climbing and a great many felt
that they would receive good
prices for their stock, regardless.
Bids were not opened until
September 13, a month and a
half later than last year, as the
price tend was still upward.
when the bids were opened
and cooperators realized hey
were offered $3.50 per hundred
weight for steer calves, $27 for
yearling steers and $26.5O for
heifers, a large number of Indian
and white growers asked to join

Immediately were accepted. In
the meantime there was a down.
ward trend of the market and
those who had not signed up
could not be accepted.

to make it a success. In partici-
pating, they have received justi-
fable financial benefits.
