Not the Time for WooIgothering

There is good evidence in the recent interim
report of the Senate Preparedness subcommittee
to support Chairman Johnson's charges of ''wool-
gathering" in Washington. He referred specifl-
cay to official dilydallying over the question OF
stockpiling wool for use in national emergency
1t is certainly alarming to learn from the report
that America, at this late hour, has no stockpile
of wool, none in inventory and less than enough
in prospect from domestic sources to meet emer-
gency needs.
The disclosure comes as our troops in the
Far East face the possibility of a winter cam
paign and as we are planning to build and
maintain the largest "peacetime" armed
force in our history. IT imports OF wool
should be cut off-as they might be in event OF
all-out war-our Army would have to depend on
shoddy to help clothe our troops. That unsatis-
factory recourse was necessary in World War I,
because of similar failure to consider wool a
strategic material that should be stockpiled
Blame for the present shortage is put on "wool
gathering" by the Munitions Board, which has
responsibility for stockpiling critical materials
The dictionary defines woolgathering as
foolish or purposeless thinking" It is not fair
to single out one agency for such criticism, for
there have been indications of woolgathering in
numerous high places in Washington. Senator
Johnsons group found evidences of it in previous
inquiries into defense shortcomings and short
ages, especially in the wasteful disposal of sur
plus war goods and the sale of war plants. Sen
ator OConor's Commerce Subcommittee found
it to exist in the shipping to Red China OF
scrap rubber tin plate and other items of possible
military value There has been indecision
with respect to civil defense, to control of infla
tion to utilization of manpower and to increased
defense production. 1t is time to stop WOOL
gathering and get down to the business Of
making the country as strong as a properly
informed and aroused people are capable Of
making 1t.

The English ulated upon the present
TEMPER state of their temper. With
many provocations to be-
come lrrltated, they are carrying them
selves with philosophical composure. The

They are drawing the proper distinction
between the racket of vociferous street
crowds and the attitude of those in Office
who are responsible for good government
1t is an assuring sign, for this is time
when all men with real heads should
keep them on their shoulders. Why this
outburst against England in France to-
day? In quarter of the world where
the situation for all civilization is grave
indeed those two powers are in the main
acting in concert. Their troops are fight
ing, when fighting is necessary, side by
side. II French force in China were
menaced by superior force of Boxers,
the English if within reach gladly would
go to the rescue. And the French would
as gladly perform similar service for
the English. The main effort of all the
powers is to continue this union of
endeavor. If serious and unbridgeable
differences set up, the whole case will
be lost. The powers must stand together

Arob Refugees

Dorothy Thompson deserves great
credit for her courageous and factual
reporting OF the desperate plight of the
million Arab Palestinian refugees who
have been driven from their homes by
the warfare in Palestine and not allowed
to return.

wreck of his loved books, he tried to
puzzle out what had happened Of
course, he remembered that the begin
ming of I'm Memoriam," which was
missing, was: Strong Son of God, I'm
mortal Love-" Here was the clue. He
found that every line in the poets about
Christ, or inspired by Christ, had dis
appeared. He was in a world in which
the noblest half of his literature had
vanished, because Christ had net come
En- the ritual, which he had taken so
confidently into Sickrooms and read
with triumphant assurance at open
graves, was in tatters. There was no
Christ, therefore. there was no: Let
not your heart be troubled. In my

cause l live, ye shall live also.''
Then. in the tragedy and pathos of
such world, with great sob clutching
his throat he awoke to find this cruel,
pitiless, Christless world was but a
dream. He could plainly hear the choir
in the nearby church singing rapturous-
ly the wondrous words: Joy to the
world! The Lord is comet" It had all
been but a dream, an ugly hideous
dream; but it taug. l. to appreciate
as never before the ineffable gift be-
slowed upon our race at Bethlehem.
AS nothing else, sickness brings an
understanding of how great a boon Is
health. The music of little childrens
laughter and the patter of little feet have
new and fabulous appraisal when
''song has ceased when just begun"
And here is the grateful testimony of
the dreamer: Never did I know how
much the world owed to Jesus Christ
until I dreamed of the world to which
He. had never come. The vision of that
world without Christmas, without a
church, without a cross-the vision Of
that world without pity and without
heart-the vision of that world in which
life was misery and death despair,
brought to my heart a new TIE Deum
because I lived in a world into which
Christ had come. 1t was then that /
realized that pity and sympathy and
love and hope. the things that make life
glad and beautiful, were born with
Christ at Bethlehem"

Anglers should note that this

that we are liable to overlook this.
The sea lampreyS, which have

brook lamprey which many an

latter is not destructive to fish, as
far as we know.
There has been an unusual
number Of brook lampreys OBJ

ginia so many have been seer
spawning that anglers feared il
might mean the beginning of the
destruction of trout and other
game species. The young of the
brook lamprey are used as good

usually are called mud eels.
