There are 4 ed new “wonder Laing ad- va stelevision, quick-frozen fruit juices, aoe many others. 1 { One of thé most widely used of these new, prodtets is the all-purpose detergent. Let's look at this homely ¢xample and see wh4t it is doing about tinfe and labor sav- ing tin American homes. = + Take the family wash on “Blue Mon- day.” The new detergent lifts the dirt out of the’ élothes and dissolves it into the wash water. If the €lothes are thoroughly wrung out, they don’t even need to be rinsed. This saves the drudgery of lifting heavy wet cloties through two or more rinsing elias a lot of time for the housewife. "T¥ere is no ring left to be clean- ed pround t'fe wash or bath tub, Dishes, aftex-they. are washed, don’t need to be wip Sean just. be rinsed andeft to d and. dry themselves. This is a blesfing. to many husbands and teen age chilflren as well as the lady of the-house. *From a National standpoint,;.. this seerhingly simple new product and its ad- vantages are important because they mean a great saving in water through con- serving the enormous amount needed for rinsing of clothes. For instance, it is esti- mated that a family of four can save an avewage of 40 gallons of water each week if rihsing of the family laundry is omitted. In dearly ‘all parts of the country water supplies are getting lower and _ lower. Se are having to be dug much deeper in thany parts of the Nation, and many towas and farms which are now plentiful- ly supplied will feel that pinch judging from the rate things are moving. {When you add together all the new impfovements, inventions, and products from hundreds of companies all-over the cougtry since the war, it can give anyone a big thrill regarding what free, busy, and ins’ ' ed people can do for progress.

One anti-submarine weapon the “homing” torpedo, which, it is explained, would “nose out’? enemy submarines, set its own course and proceed toward the underwater craft. Aircraft are also being equipped to detect and destroy submar- ines in connection with carrier operations. Recent developments in the United States indicate that our defense officials are inclined to pursue the same course. Special emphasis is being laid upon mea- sures to blunt the submarines peril in the event of another war. While the menace to this ccountry is not as great as to the British Isles, where all ocean-borne traffic must converge, in a restricted area, an effective submarine campaign could ser- iously interfere with our efforts to trans- port men and material across the sea lanes. In the world wars of this country, in which the United States has engaged, the submarine has presented a direful threat to the successful execution of our camp- aigns. As each war began, this country was woefully without means to safe- guard its shipping and, before adequate measures could be developed, the enemy managed to take a terrific toll of Amer- ican and Ajlied shipping. Obviously, it would be a good thing for us to be ready to meet such an attack in the event of an- other war. It appears that surface shipping, in future conflicts, will not only meet the menace of a highly-improved submarine, but the ships that carry the commerce of the globe will have to face accelerated aerial attacks. We presume that this country, through its Air Force, is taking steps to develop adequate defenses against the bontbs, which,’ according to the air men, will sink anything afloat. No one should overiook the impor- ‘tance of sea control. The history of our past wars, and most of the wars between nations separated by water, illustrates that éontrol ofithe sea lanes is an essential to victory: Thig,will continue to be true so long as the freight of the world has to be transported in surfaee ships. Obviously, if the essentials of a winning war must travel by ship, there must be safety for the ships that earry the vital cargoes. We trust that the emphasis on anti- submarine warfare and upon air weapons will not lead to carelessness of surface de- fense forces, which, in the past, have per- formed rather well. is TOWARD A “GANGSTER GOVERNMENT” Maxwell Anderson, the distinguished playwright who authored “What Price Glory” and other Broadway hits, has written alittle essay called “The Guaran- teed Life.” At the end of it he says this: “The ‘power of government in the United States has grown like a fungus in wet weather. . . .Our government has turned into a gaint give-away program, offering far more for votes than was ever paid by the most dishonest ward-heeler in the days of Mark Hanna. We move steadily toward the prefabricated state. Yet we see clearly that in England, Socialism turns rapidly into Communism, and that in Russia and Jugoslavia, Communism gives neither freedom nor security. The guaran- teed life turns out to be not only not free —it’s not safe. Do we want a gangster government? That’s what we’re going to- ward.” This is the sorry fashion in which freedom is lost. And, ironically enough, while we’ dre in the process of losing it we are rebbing ourselves blind to pay the ever-growing costs of the paternal state. At a time when government revenues are enormous, and when there is relatively little unemployment, we have adopted de- ficit spending. It is clear that even a mod- ‘erate drop in business activity, even a small-sized depression, would be a cata- clysm under these conditions. The recent elections in England, Aus- tralia and New Zealand showed a strong trend away from the “prefabricated state” on the part of people who have exe perienced it at first hand. The big ques- tion for us is whether or not we ean profit by such examples, SSS een meee ee UE LAUNCHING — a prow built to fit the stern of a war-damaged vessel is unched at Flensburg. Germany.
