It might interest Hitler to know that the United States plans to build 500 long-range : bombers a month, An advertisement in The Citizen is profitable provided the. advertiser has something to sell at a price that is profit- - able to those who have money to spend, If ‘> you, Mr. Merchant, can’t meet that quali- fieation, don’t advertise in this paper; we want our readers to faye fair dealing. wily €ditors in this country feel that President Roosevelt, in Wis clandestine talk with Churchill, has pledged this country to defeat Hitler even to the extent of sacrific- ing the youth of this country. But Con- gress will havé something to say about that, if-it is true, and the time has come for mak- ing good his word, The Swedish press, too, is'suepicious, alluding to the meeting at sea as an “iceberg’’, the greatest part of which is invisible, as is generally known. part, the newspapers think, which is really important, Whenever an_ individual, constitutional prerogative, . criticizes Administration, even constructively, one often hears the st iment in rebuttal that the President, ey ies and the Army Staff are. sufficiently informed and entirely competent to take proper action and, on the other hand the masses and the electorate generally are uninforfed and even incap- able of venturing an opinion on public ques- tions. That’s a plug for a dictator—an ad- mission that only he knows, an injunction to do as you are told, and a command to keep your fool mouth shut.

HOW NEWSPAPERS GROW Every once in a while a newspaper editor should call the attention of the pub- | lic to the service that his newspaper per- forms, We will not insult the intelligence of | our readers, at this time, by them gross ignorance as to the worth of a! progressive newspaper to the people of any given aréa. imputing to We will point out, very briefly, that a newspaper, attempting sincerely to serve its community, is limited in its undertakings by the amount of cash that the aforesaid community puts into its treasury. The only way that an horiest news- paper makes any money is through the sale of advertising and the payments that sub- seribers make for the regular receipt of the newspaper. Regardless of what anybody tells you there are no short cuts, and efforts on the part of a newspaper, to get income from other sources is merely proof that the jour- nal is not a paying proposition, We are making no complaint. The service that this newspaper is offering to advertisers and the newspaper that it pro- vides for readers meet with splendid re- If by chance the response would PER CENT BOYS ARE BUSY Theve is an epidemic of “per cent in and around the national capital, boasting of knowledge about the ropes and influence in the right spots. Despite strenuous efforts to curb this activity, the fast letting of defense orders is “apple pie” to the per centers. Many manufacturers, we are told, have “repre- sentation’ in the hope of getting a con- tract. Frankly, it is very hard to differentiate between the legitimate business representa- tive and the alert panhandler, ready to get a cut if there ig money moving. Neverthe- less, it should be done.

The people, who pay the costs of gov- ernment, are the ones who pay the per cents that the smart boys get from those who want influence and prestige in high places without knowing whether they are geting | either. The practice can be stopped, per- | haps; but not, as you might think, by jailing | the per cent boys: It must be done the other way around, by safeguarding government from pressure and by providing abundant “publizity:in all public matters, because | she thought ation in | down early in the Es thoug’ | the snow continued to i dry crystals.
