This is an error of the first magnitude. post-war organization, with representation and control based up- on population and responsibilities assum- ed, the organization, whatever its name, will be a failure. Mr. Clarence Streit’s plan for a union of democratic people made tMis matter very plain. Of course, there must be, as Vice Pres- ident Wallace asserts, decisive action to dis- arm the defeated aggressor nations and to prevent them from rearming. If this js all the post-war organization is to undertake the matter can be easily handled by the end of the last war.

DON’T use fuses that are too large, use the proper size. 2. DON’T use pennies or wire to restore service. If you do, you have no protection. 3. DON’T use substitute fuses im your per- colator.
