The slaughter of innocent peoples and the wanton destruction of property are almost baffling if one seeks for reasons. There are no logical reasons the explanation of a nation gone utterly mad. The twinges of national insanity were upon Germany in 1933 when she permitted Adolf Hitler to become the ruler of the land.

The body of Germany was disordered, so was the mind. The early persecutions, the purges, the terrorism, all indicated what was yet to The fanaticism of Germany has carried her not only to the brink of national edisaster, but now threatens the health of much of Europe. The planned and sys- tematic starving of Europe's children, in the mad effort to perpetuate German jxnver, is one frightful example. Now comes another example. For 2,000 years the Dutch have fought the sea, slowly pumping out the waters, creating more and more productive land.

Into this vast reclaimed' basin has settled 70 per cent of Holland's population. Driven to anger by the long continued Dutch resistance, the nazis have threatened time and again to let the sea waters pour in. If there were any military motive to reason whatever that it might be valuable as a defensive could be justified by German militarists. But there is not the slightest defensive reason for such an act. Yet 6,000 German demolition troops have let the waters go.

The flood has poured over almost 50 per cent of the vast agricultural area and-even Rotter- These 4 factors will be the means of Destroying Wealth In considering the consclericeles of the Japs and Germans in pur suing methods of destruction in wartime a salutary practice to consider th presence of a spirit of destructives the land of the free in peacetime as wel as wartime. G. H. Collingwood, forester of the Na tional Lumber Manufacturers' association, says that incendiarism is the principal cause of forest fires in the United States, although carelessness of smokers and campers runs a close second. Incendiarism has increased 7 per cent since 1939, he says.

In some areas forests have been burned out deliberately to provide pasture land or because of the luxuriant berry growth which follows. Frequently, he says, they have been ignited with the intention of burning out a limited area, but the fires spread. Other causes of incendiarism listed are spite, sabotage and "the fun of watching fires burn." The effect of these causes of fire is appalling when it is considered that fire destroys more trees a year than the national planting program and natural reproduction can replace. Fires, Mr. Collingwood says, may change the character of the soil so the ground no longer can support the type of tree growth it originally would produce.

Each year, forest fires destroy 30,000,000 to 40,000,000 acres of timberland. The annual harvest of lumber is approximately 12,000,000,000 cubic feet, and each year an additional 2,000,000,000 cubic feet are destroyed by fire and other agencies of the total yearly harvest.

At the same time there seems to be a 'belief that a congress antagonistic to him win be elected.

That is the only answer. 'Or Ovid's answer: "All things can corrupt perverted minds." Postwar Taxes During the current period of tive prosperity, American municipalities should try to clear away as much as possible for the public debt. Why? Because federal taxes in the postwar years are going to exceed anything ever seen by this nation. That's why retrenchment where possible is necessary. That isn't quite fair to the municipalities, is it? After all, home rule is a decisive force in our American democracy and we can not have home rule without money by which to support it.

Economy will bring a huge upswing in use of planes for travel. Business men may make a New York-Los Angeles or New York-Seattle flight in 10 hours or less. Chicagoans may take in the Mardi Gras at New Orleans after a flight of only 3 hours.
