OLD GLORY ON THE SEAS AGAIN
FOUR years ago when the Merchant Marine Act
was passed some people said “There goes a lot
more money down the rat hole.”
But now the ships are coming off the ways at a
one-a-week rate and they look good. They are put-
ting Old Glory back on the seas on something of the
scale of Clipper days and they give the Navy the kind
of auxiliary ship backing that it must have.
Suppose the United States had confronted its
preparedness emergency six months ago with no more
foresight in regard to ships than it showed before the
World War! Then 90 per cent of American com-
merce was carried in foreign ships; we literally had
no merchant marine worthy of the name.
Even when the new construction program got
under way two years ago the United States merchant
fleet was 90 per cent obsolete. But because we passed
the act in 1936 and began active construction in 1938
what a different picture greets us today:
Of 179 ships whose construction began in 1938
84 have been launched and 54 have been completed
and are now in service. The fine new American ships
are appearing in ports and on shipping lanes that al-
most never saw the American flag before.
When these ships are all completed the United
States will hare a new fleet of 1500000 tons all
built to naval specifications including the only
tanker fleet capable of steaming at naval fleet speed
and big enough to keep a naval force at sea indef-
initely.
_ . - ~ ~ ~ i _• o o
more man luo.uuo men are nuw at wuijv m
American shipyards operating some 84 shipways.
Most of these ships are unspectacular but beau-
• tiful seaworthy fast and efficient. The America
finest passenger liner ever built in the western
hemisphere is not equal in size to Naviathans like the
Queen Mary or the Normandie but the usefulness of
such ships is open to question and for its size the
America has no superior in the world. Two more
such ships are planned for the Pacific passenger
trade both built so as to be quickly convertible into
airplane carriers.
While the shipping of the world goes down in the
whirlpool of war America is building ships to do the
world's hauling. They are a vital auxiliary of de-
fense and a hope for future trade and travel. They
are a living demonstration that foresight pays.
SYMBOL AND SUBSTANCE
COMMON sense seems well on the way to solving
the irritating problem of Jehovah’s Witnesses
and their reluctance to salute the flag.
Members of this sect insist on a religious scruple
that to salute the flag is “to bow down before a
graven image” an act forbidden by their interpreta-
tion of Holy Writ. So their children have been re-
fusing to salute the flag at school when others did so.
Ill-feeling and some very hasty action resulted.
In Rochester Michigan 10 such children have
been restored to school. Probate Judge Arthur E.
Moore having devised a formula agreeable both to
school and parental authorities. It is simple: After
the other children have given the regular pledge “I
pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States. . .”
the Jehovah’s Witnesses children give their own
pledge reading “I pledge allegiance to the United
States ...” leaving out the flag.
Loyalty to the United States is what is wanted.
Most people understand that the flag is a symbol
for our country and make their loyalty pledge to it.
These people’s religious scruple being what it is it
seems reasonable to accept the substance for the sym-
bol and base the test on their real-loyalty to their
country not on their willingness to recognize its
gen era 1 ly-ac ce pt ed symbol.

PROBLEM OF INFLATION
There is no immediate prospeci
of inflation of consumers’ prices
according to Laurence Stern editoi
of the Magazine of Wall Street
writing in the current issue. Then
cannot be inflation of the cost oi
living until demand outruns supply
he argues and then points out thai
demand for foods for example car
not exceed supply as long as then
Is a perennial surplus that keep*
the government struggling to main-
tain cost-of-production prices. He
did not mention cotton but he
might have done so as logically. Ai
for the products of industry he
thinks that the industrial capacitj
will keep abreast of demand for a
time at least.
This is a very reassuring argument
from the standpoint of one living
in New York or any other industrial
center. If there is any inflation it
is likely to be one that aids them
by giving them temporarily at
leart better incomes with relative-
ly lower costs of living. Looked at
from the angle of the farmer. th«
prospect is net so good. There h
little opportunity for his own pro
I ducts to rise in price according to
this theory but considerably more
likelyhood that the manufactured
products he consumes will go up.
In the coming crisis that will be
presented by the huge expenditures
lor the defense program the farm-
er should get first consideration.
For decades he has suffered from
the injustices of a high industrial
tariff. When the crash of 1929
came the Hoover theorists evolved
a plan of linking a program of farm
production restriction with mainte-
nance of the high industrial tariff
1 and Roosevelt has followed this
plan without deviation. As a conse-
quence the cotton farmer for ex-
ample lias a great surplus on his
hands and only a government sub-
sidy in the form of a loan stands
between him and a cotton market
If the farmer in addition to this
past misfortune is to bear the
brunt of the coming readjustment
then the agricultural industry will
be pushed to the point of general
bankruptcy. Members of Congress
representing Texas and other ag-
i ricultural states should keep this in
■W/ASHINGTON — Mr. Roosevelt
w put a blinker on the covetous
eye that the British cabinet min-
ister cast upon the ships of belliger-
ents which the president has seized
and interned. Mr. R said only that
his lawyers were looking up the
legal prospects.
Some of his lawyers did not need
much looking to conclude no legal
justification was possible. The navy
can legally buy or charter the
ships but this method is out be-
cause the belligerents won’t sell.
The secretary of treasury can take
physical possession banishing ship
crews and installing guards but he
cannot operate the vessels. The
United States could confiscate the
ships and turn them over to the
British only if congress specifically
approved. Congress won't. Appren-
hensive private comment among
the legislators indicates Mr. Roose-
velt can get through nearly any-
thing he wants for British aid un-
less he recommends a violent or
war involving act such as this
would clearly be.
The signs all point therefore to
the probability that Mr. Rodsevelt
will put a permanent black patch
over the covetous eye.

"THE LEGAL obstacles are streng-
1 thened by critical comment
widely expressed among American
diplomats. No one here objects to
giving the British all we have but
seizing things from their enemies
to give them Is another matter.
The British would have im-
pressed American officials more
with their sincerity if they had
submitted some figures on how
many merchant ships they now
have plying the peaceful seas in
empire trade outside the North
Atlantic theatre of war. Expert
private shipping authorities have
informed this government that the
British have not even yet re-
quisitioned many freighters that
could be spared from Australia
India and South Africa and else-
where to keep their home lifelines
open in an emergency. Their pol-
icy has been to get by without in-
terfering with Empire trade any
more than necessary.
Some time ago the former Amer-
ican ambassador to London JoseDh
P. Kennedy recommended to the
British that they withdraw all the
ships they are using in non-war
trade and let us take over the
abandoned commercial routes for
them. The British did not want to
do this. While emotionalism may
be expected to guide Americans in
commercial and international af-
fairs the British have wisely learn-
ed from longer world political
experience to reserve their emo-
tionalism for fortnightly weekends
in the country.
Every official Instinct here de-
sires to help the British to the
utmost but such things as the
seized ship proposal has inspired a
number of officials to express the
hope that we will not make fools
of ourselves or let them do it.
A SMALL gathering of republican
and democratic congressional
authorities have been discussing
the idea of getting Joe Kennedy up
before a congressional committee
to tell what he knows. Initial feel-
ers toward Florida where Kennedy
is vacationing led some of the
group to expect the ambassador
might be willing to talk after his
vacation is over. The doors how-
ever may be closed. You will recall
that he and the Paris ambassador
Bill Bullitt appeared before a
closed session of the senate foreign
relations committee a year or more
ago establishing a precedent.
Kennedy apparently is becoming
the most feared man in the cur-
rent domestic international debate.
Certain administration extremists
have beep anonymously belaboring
him with epithets since election
(not before) and William Allen
White paid him the honor of at-
tacking him as a White House
Judas although Mr. White did not
make clear what for.
Fact seems to be Mr. Kennedy

American affairs a knowledge

time they will act in the know-
ledge that mounting federal de-
! fense activities mean increased fed- -
eral taxes and probably greater “
employment which may put many
jobless back at work.
60000 Destitute
The dawn of 1941 finds possibly
60.000 Texas families near destitu-
tion. With no employable members j.
they probably exist on charity and
a monthly allocation of possibly
$5 worth of groceries from the
Federal surplus commodities corp-
oration.
Under the current law which de-
nies many applicants possibly ®
160.000 oldsters are eligible for
pensions. On the rolls are 121000
getting an average of $13.75 each
monthly. State revenue which is £
matched by the federal government
amounts to $9000000 annually.
Previous legislatures made no
provision for financing aid to de-
pendent children or to the adult
blind as voted by the people. Nei- W
ther did they match $7677000
teachers have contributed to a re-
tirement fund.
Experts estimate $1500000 a year
would provide for 59000 children
up to the age of 14 who would bo
eligible under the statutes and
$300000 annually would be suffi-
cient for approximately 1500 blind
and needy adults.
The only improvement recorded
in 1940 was the jump from about $8
a month average old age pension
paid last January. The $7-plus in- •»
crease came mainly through liquids- 9
tion of a $2300000 debt completed
in October.
Another phase of the federal so-
cial security program unemploy-
ment compensation is working
more smoothly although the legis-
lature must further amend the law
to make possible a saving of $10-
000.000 annually in taxes for em-
ployers.

A. In making the fibers the skim
milk is treated with sulfuric acid
to precipitate the casein the casein
is dried ground and then dispersed

solution is then forced through
spinnerettes and coagulated in di-
lute acid very much as rayon is
manufactured.
