VET INSURANCE REFUND The Veterans Administration has be- ' $n to" distribute $685,000,000 to the holders of some 8,000,000 National Serv- ‘ice Life Insurance policies. Veterans en- _titled to, participate in the division are not required to make any application and the checks for their share will be sent two or three months after the anniversary dates of their policies. Last year, the Administration paid “put. $2,800,000,000 to holdetss O00. 000 heen The refund otha Boot ‘the’ Government, in connection with its policies issued to.veterans during the war, _edehiaulated a ‘surplus which was no néeded“to pay losses. Consequently, the money goes back to the policy-holders un- der a formula which’ takes into considera- 3 tionet! e length of _the polity, the age of ‘the:insured and other factors...” While the dividends ’will'not be di-' Vided equally among the holders, because ., of these. special factors, they will average about $80 each. This compares with a similarly-caleulated average of $175 for ithe initial special dividend payment last .jear. What will interest the recipients: is payments are exempt ttom. income taxation. FRIEND OF U. S. In choosing as his Prime Minister a former ambasador at Washington, Hus- sein.Ala, the Shah of Iran reveals the strong Western orientation of his govern- ~thent.° Mr. Ala, educated in England, whose children are being , educated “at American universities, is a warm friend of “the United States. He is, at the same time, “a prspicions observer of the ‘Séviet ‘Uiibn. «Jt was Ala who, in 1946, argued Tran’s case against the Soviet Union before ‘tthe United Nations. The Soviet, under preksufe ‘of world opinion, was forced to ;evacuate its troops from the Iranian. pro- '*tinve of Azerbaijan. Oil concessions granted to Russia under fressure, were canceled. The burdens which Ala will assume in. the premiership are grave. The fanati- cal. Moslem group which assassinated his »predecessor, General Razmara, is uttering death threats against the new Premier. ‘But Ala, like the Shah, is a man of cotir- age.

Advertising | volume currently is 250 per cent of the 1950 figure—and newspaper circulation in U. S. newspapers continues to gain—its | grows steadily. Daily newspapers in the | U;.S. made their biggest gain on recent ‘ldst'year. The} unfortunate circumstance is that male bed hewspapers are almost wholly de- ‘ pendent upon Canadian mills for news- print. More than 80 per cent of all the pa- -per used by U.S. dailies is imported from Canada. Forty years this paper was made in the United States: Manpower shortage practically rules out adequate expansion of output by Cana- dian mills, and a_ shortage of sulphur would make increased production impos- sible if the labor were available. More than 80 per cent of sulphur imported by | Canada goes into the manufacture of newsprint. Practically all of this comes from the United States, and the sulphuit industry in Louisiana and Texas reports the demand for its product far ahead of production. | takes thinking to develop wisdom. { Whenever gangsters work together, honest people might as well cooperate. ,; WOMAN OFFICIAL GIVES MEN A HINT The only woman alderman in North- western. Ontario, Canada, now serving her third term, is enthusiastic about the possibility of political office for women, a tolerant husband and some money for campaign expenses, boundless energy and a liking for long hours. The lady suggests that “women think of little things that men cannot compre- hend”’ and they are “less materialistic and ‘phone Mumanitarian.” She adds that they fink in terms of “flesh-and-blood” when it comes to matters like welfare schools. ddressing herself directly to hus- bands throughout the country, the lady, Mrs. Eunice Lever Wisehart, advises that “if you want a lot of Logg time, nominate ‘ the. wife for civic offi She adds that the wife will be “‘too to ask questions when she comes home after a busy day.” (< Human nature is what encourages in- dividuals to find an excuse for what they happen to desire. BERTRAND RUSSELL’S PREDICTIONS Bertrand Russell, nearly ‘seventy-nine, who received the Nobel Prize for Litera- ture last year, prophesies that before the end of the present century “unless some- thing unforseeable occurs,” one of three possibilities will occur: (1), “The end of human life, perhaps of alllife on our planet, (2) “A reversion to barbarism after a gatastrophic diminution of the population of the globe. _(3) “A unification of the world under Ta single government, :possessing a mono; poly, of all the major weapons of war.” The philosopher and mathematician admits that he would naturally prefer the last alternative, provided that it took place under United States, rather than un- der Russian, auspices. g Ld Most of the compliments that you get come from those who understand the quid pro quo doctrine.
