Tere] THE ORACLE. when day after day the loss of life ‘in plane accidents are reported? The answer readily comes to mind: the peoples of the world would be back in the Stone Age had it not been for the 2 90] hardy men and women who were ready to take a chance to promote progress. In- ventions, entailing danger in their use, Would be of no consequence to mankind if 8.,eyerybody shrunk from using them. .Electricity, in its manifold uses; auto- ‘mobiles, airplanes, every mechanical de- |wice that causes injury or death ‘if it goes ‘wrong; have taken their toll of millions of lives so that the world may’ continue its march of progress. Martyrs fall by the wayside in every forward movement, but the living contin- ue to carry on. The reason for man’s ever going forward is his ambition. Without ambition, man today would be on a level with beasts. From the beginning, due to his ability to think, he has been dissatis- fied with his condition and has striyed to improve it. And that striving has resulted in his creating conveniences that promote his welfare. Onward, ever onward, has been his slogan, and it will continue to be his slo- gan as long as he is on Earth. )) “Every age has had its civilization, which was the greatest up to that time. We today have what we consider a high- ly civilized age, but in even as short a time as 100 years from now, the people then will look back on us as having lived in a commonplace period, much in the same way as we find it hard to understand how the people of the United States a cen- tury ago managed to live without the many conveniences we have today. Everybody likes bargains but when you meet a very big bargain, don’t take it too fast.

It is very important for the people of this country to understand that the war started by Hitler and supported by his Italian and Japanese allies, was not an or- dinary war but represented a deliberate design of freebooters to loot the world for selfish purposes, The behaviour of Axis soldiers, in occupied lands, provided abun- dant proof that the purpose of the military campaign was the acquisition of loot and the enslavement of helpless individuals to serve the needs of the Nazis. If we trace back our ancestry we find that the lines of our descent cross and re- cross almost infinitely. COTTON TO CHALLENGE RAYON? Fibre and Fabric, a_ textile trade journal, suggests that cotton can give rayon a run for its money by advertising the advantages of mercerization. There may be something to the idea but we note that the prerequisite, as sug- } gested by the publication, is for the Fed- eral Government “to get out of direct meddling” with the cotton growers. The suggestion is that the subsidy will have to be ended to provide incentive for improved quality and lower production costs of raw cotton. This is a euphemistic manner of stat- ing that the price of cotton must be brought down, regardless of how it affects the living standard of our cotton growers. ‘The “incentive for improved quality and lower production costs” is to be the threat of lower income and a starvation diet. There is little in pdst experience to indicate that lower prices and a lower standard of living provide an incentive for improved quality. It may be that the growth of mechanization in the cotton tields will answer the demands for a lower {| priced staple.
