WORD STUDY: “Use a word three times and it is yours.” Let us increase our. vocabulary by mastering one word each day. Today’s word: RESPLENDENT; shining with brilliant luster. “He was resplendent with medals.” Germans, They do hate Nazism and those mani- acal creatures who have led Germany into a new slavery and into the blackest chapter of Germany's history. “They will not forget the cruel persecution of the Jews in Germany nor the less-advertised but equally ‘systematic persecution of Catholic leaders in Germany and: especially in Poland. It ought not to be a part of our purposes to pun- ish the people of Germany, or of any other enemy country, when the war is fought and won. It should and it must'be an essential part of our purposes to hold Nagi, Fascist, and Japanese militarist leaders for victims of Nazi persecution, it would be a land protected by liberty loving people, who right now are dying 'all over, the world for the principles we as Americans believe in.” This all sounds very nice. But in the first place, we can't help but wonder how the Civilian Traffic Control office, which is attempting to keep all of the people it can out of Alaska, would feel about this proposal. Becondly, it strikes us as odd that a solution to Nazi persecution would be setting up a refuge in Alaska. JAMES C.

But at least the navalepicture seems to counter-balance some of the bad news from Russia—which is going to get a lot worse. LABOR-CAPITAL TRUCE When President Roosevelt re- ceived promises of industrial peace from the heads of the CIO, the AFL, the National Association of Manufacturers and the United States Chamber of Commerce which for years had staged knock- down fights between capital and labor, he remarked: “Looks like the lambs and the lions were lying down together. Only I don't know which are the lions.” “However,” added the President, “in this drama, I'm going to be Daniel.” BURIED SILVER ‘Ten years ago, President Roose- velt and Cordell Hull held a series of discussions with the foreign ministers of Europe in prepara- tion for the London Economic Con- ference, at which one of the chief proposals of the United States was world use of silver. At these conferences, the late Benator Key Pittman, of the great silver state of Nevada, droned man had finished, the German minister woke up with a' start, hastily brushed aside silver. “We accept silver. Now this is what we want in return.” The London Economic Confer- ence was a ‘dismal failure,- . But the United States had committed itself so completely to silver in these preliminary talks, that it undertook ‘a silver program, which actually meant that the world sold its silver to us at an artificial price and we buried it in the ground at West Point, N. Y. It was & fine thing for Mexico, China and Can- ada and a great victory for Sen- ator Pittman and the Rocky Meun- tain states. Also it resulted in the U. S. Treasury accumulating two and a half billion ounces of silver —other than coin. € Today, however, there is a short- age of industrial silver. And yet the Treasury will not open up the giant - hoard of silver gathering nould at West Point. SHORTAGE AMID PLENTY What has happened is this. About 3,000,000 ounces of silver monthly is being mined in the United States, which is ample to care for war needs, but not enough for ordinary commercial needs, especially for the silver industry of New England. The silver industry, which makes knives, forks, and household ware, formerly used alloys and ecritical materials—all of which have now been dispensed with. However, sil- ver is not a critical material. There is plenty mined for the war effort but not enough to supply the 80,- 000,000 ounces needed annually for the silver industry, So New England silversmiths now ask that they be permitted to buy a mere 80,000,000 ounces out of the two and a half billion ounces which the Treasury has buried, through a regular 45 minute lecture | They point out that the Treasury on silver which American experts | knew almost by heart and wmch]mg a drug on the market and put Hjalmar Schacht, German f{in- | help the Rocky Mountain State ence minister, to sleep.

MEAT -RATIONING About six' months ' ago, Under- secretary of Agriculture Paul Apple- by urged his chief, Claude Wickard, to prepare for = meat rationing. However, Secretary Wickard, know- ing the United :Stateés® had ‘more meat than ever béfore in a decade, was skeptical. A But just the other day Wickard called Appleby in and said: “Paul, you are a prophet. We're in a tight situation regarding ‘meat and it looks as if rationing would be the only way out” Yl ''One remedy for the meat prob-- lem’ which will be tried first is the reallocation of civilian supplies by areas. Some areas have plenty of meat, others don’t, and the Gov- ernment will distribute to areas which ' are short. Also there will be fixing of prices on- livestock, which means Govern- ment regulation of profits for meat packers and processers. This is drastic medicine and probably will put some small packers out of business. Wickard’s advisers are urging that these be taken care of by.government subsidy, but so far there has béen no decision. All this will precede meat rationing, which, however, is considered in- evitable, 5 - (Copyright, 1942, by United Fea- ture Syndicate, Inc.)
