Here comes a researcher and | H | ; Italy and Japan would seek POWER OF OIL It is said that one of the reasons the | British and French governments tried to patch up a peace between Italy and Ethi-j station opia was that they were convinced that the | Abilene .. | restriction of oil shipments to Italy would | be so harmful to the latter country that it Buffalo .. would risk attacking the British fleet in “| the Mediterranean. Italy has to import her oil supply. Not to be able to secure oil would mean that | her Ethiopian campaign would be entirely blocked. Ships, tanks, airplanes and sup- | ply trucks all require gasoline and oil to operate: Without the supply of this es- sontial liquid Italy would not be able to carry on a warfare with modern ments, Japan is very much in the same situa- tion that Italy is. Her greatest military weakness is the poor national supply of oil. Not long ago the Japanese passed a | law requiring all foreign companies doing business to erect and store a year’s supply of oil, thus creating a military reserve without any expense. Japan must have oil for her industry and her fleets. The annual Japanese consumption is around two million tons and one-half of this is brought in from the United States. Three countries could, if they desired to, prevent Japan from securing this neces- sary supply. The British could stop their oil shipments and prevent imports from the Dutch East Indies. If the United States shut off the supply, the only other country necessary would be Russia, which is Japan’s rival in Eastern Asia. So, ; Should the United States and Great Britain decide to oppose Japanese ambitions, oil embargo would follow. Seeing the vital importance of oil and gasoline, it would seem that countries like to develop ubstitute fuels, particularly, encouraging the use of alcohol. As long as they are dependent upon imports of oil a coalition of the oil producing countries can control their future. an THE DIGEST POLL With 1,370,774 votes from forty- eight states tallied the Literary Digest poll shows 541,845 now approving “the policies of the Roosevelt New Deal” and 828,929 voting “no.” The percentage of support is 39.53 and compares with the 61.15 majority that the New Deal was accorded in a_ similar poll in 1934. What does it represent? Politicians | and partisans are trying to give the an- swer, with the main idea of explaining it favorably to their own sides. Plainly, in- asmuch as the ballots were sent to the same mailing list as in 1934, the poll shows a tremendous decline in the support ac- corded the President’s policies by the peo- ple receiving the ballots. Just what this means, translated in terms of the forthcoming election, is not certain. The New Deal is not so popular with business men, as it was, and they are undoubtedly heavily polled in the ballots taken. It is not popular with others, notably radicals, who want more reform, and conservatives, who want much less. If | one knew whether negative votes were cast A reader of The Citizen thinks adel forefathers were dumb in thinking the | only way tc make a living was to grub ior it, instead of ictting the government dole it out. But history tells us our forefathers had thoughts just as wild as those of to- | day, but they had the better sense not to put them into practice. “The Fagin of Dicker one of his brilliant creations and notorious the world over, evidently bothered Dickens, for in a} later novel, “Our Mutual Friend,” Dickens introduced a Jew, Mr. Riah, but here the Jew is an unconvincing character, and his goodness leaves us cold whereas Fagin’s downright iniquity has captured the} world. i } Tampa is considering an _ anti-noise ordinance. An anti-noise campaign was inaugurated in Key West by lief Administrator Stone last taken up by Mayor year, LaGuardia of New York and now the thriving city of the west | coast sees the advantage in a noiseless city. The poet reminds us to “shun the noise of folly” and local officials enjoin us to ear sider the folly of noise. former Re-! later’ for one or the other of these reasons the in- terpretation of the poll might be easier. A PLAN FOR OLD AGE One of the results of the passage of Federal Social Security Act has béen the awakening of interest on the part of some large companies in the welfare of their em- ployees. Some of these organizations have announced plans to protect their employees against the economie dangers the Social Security Act seeks to eliminate. The trouble with the initiative now being shown by tfiese corporations is that it comes after government action “has forced it. From the standpoint of society it is better for some nation-wide plan to be worked out than to have a limited number of employees who happen to work for such corporations to be protected while the great mass of workers remained unpro- tected. Rhode Island claims credit for having ; been the first American colony to pass an anti-speeding law. This law, enacted in | June, 1678, provided a fine of five shillings for riding ‘either horse, mare or gelding at a gallup” on the streets of Newport. imple- | Chk A hh de he hed dade did did dddi da didhiad dadidhididdidded, Lowest Highest last night last 24 hours 28 56 44 “46 34 36 32 66 34 28 30 64 2 80 28 80 52 64 46 80 18 78 40 72 38 38 34 58 46 82 36 -6 Atlanta Boston Charleston ....
