NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Aluska Newspapers, 1011 American Building, Seattle, Wash, T WEAPON the anti- boasted Leader of the Senate filibuster against poll tax bill, Senator Bilbo, of Mississippi, that he had a “secret weapon. It is, he said, “hot air.” There is something shocking that in wartime a little group of willful Senators, from the eight States which still have poll taxes, should have the power to paralyze the Senate of the United States. Under the rules, so long as those Senators talk the Senate cannot function, except to listen to such men as Bilbo, Tom Connally and ethers, read the Senate Journal looking for misplaced commas—and otherwise wasting the time of the Senate Bad as is the of these Senators per- mitting rampant race prejudice to hold this nation beore the world in such shabby light—even worse is the realization that the Senate of the United States permits such negation of democracy in this day and age. Bilbo hot air But we can hear, even now, Radio Berlin m ing the world’s greatest democracy merely by telling the truth, that the Senate of the United States per- mits the Senators of eight out of the 48 States to render our democratic processes impotent—by air We Senate of spectacle may boast that his “secret weapon” is hear Radio Berlin gloating that the United States cannot guarantee Ne- right to vote even in FEDERAL elections.

But it is pointed out that “a protraction of the present war, with casualties as those of the Civil War, may cause a pre- ponderance of females.” Explaining that the ratic of males to females in 1940 was the lowest since the peak of 1,060 to 1,000 in 1910, the statisticians indicate that the drop was due principally to the de- cline in immigration since then Immigration in the decade 5,700,000, in 1921-1930, it was 4,100,000 1940, only a little more than half a million. “The to 1910," the statisticians point out witnessed the greatest voluntary movement of popu- lation the world has ever seen, the immigrants dur- ing those years numbering 8,800,000." As examples of how migrations dffect the ratio between the sexes, the statisticians point out the very high proportion of men in the Far West about the middle of the last century. They indieate “that the census at each decade from 1850 to 1940 shows a raise in the ratio of males to females as one goes from the eastern states to the east central and then, in turn, to the west cen- tral and western states. In 1850, when travel acrost the continent was too difficult, for most women there were only 1,009 males per 1000 females in the eastern states, while in the west the ratio was as high as 2,789 to 1,000. Over the years from 1850 to | 1940, the ratio for the eastern states was not far from unity for most of the time; indeed, in six ol the ten census dates, including the last two, the | number of femmales was in excess of the males. In the western states the ratio dropped rapidly as the country developed, but in 1940 there was still a mod- erate excess ‘of 1 males to 1,000 females.” The statisticians comment that what the futurc will bring in the distribution of men and women within the country is very uncertain, for, “so much depends upon the needs of the Army for men and the demands of our war industries for workers.’ |But, in any event, they believe that the outlook is that “our postwar society may be constituted of practically equal numbers of men and women, anc | without such marked variations in different parts of | the country as were found in the for sc alarm is not is with some | Jai are |in | cording surance Company, 1911-1920 totalled and in 1931- | past.” | | An inventor in Hickory, N.C., spent 30 year: working on a perpetual motion machine.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS: zers foretell for postwar days a adical modification of the capital- .stic system. The collapse predicted by radical thinkers will not take place but there will be interna- tional financial readjustments of far-reaching effect. As the year closes the benefits of Government interference to prevent inflation | will be evident. The cost of living will be increased to a degree that cannot be controlled under existing legislation, the seers declare, but It will not prohibit comforts of all sorts. NATIONAL ISSUES: In the new year distribution of manpower will still be a problem, it is foretold, buf® women will prove their abil- ity in away that removes many Government anxieties.
