while you are moved would further entrench the going about your business at home GREAT WARS DO NOT COME as bolts from a clear sky Their causes are cumulative They result from the loosing of forces which gather momentum until they become as irresistible as the tide The shooting In World War II began September 1 1939 when Hitler Invaded Poland six months after he Invaded Czechoslovakia and one year after Munich Britain and France declared war two days later Formal hostilities between Japan and China date from the exchange of shots by troops of the two countries near Peking on July 7 1937 But that too was the climax of a long series of Incidents Historians are coming to regard the Jap Invasion of Manchuria In 1931 as the actual beginning of World War II and the Italian attack on Ethiopia In October 1935 as the opening of Its European phase We thought of these beginnings of the most tragic period In history today when reading the report that Outer Mongolian troopo allegedly supported by Russian planes had Invaded the Chinese province of Slnklang History has a habit of repeating Itself Outer Mongolia Is a Soviet satellite so this undeclared war Is In fact a Russian Invasion of China In the same sense that a Yugoslavian attack on Greece would be accepted as a Soviet attack This attack on Slnklang probably Is not the start of an all-out war against China More likely It Is a feeler designed to determine how the other great powers Including America will react If so lt-ls In the same pattern as the Soviet coup In Hungary the demand for a pro-Russian government In Austria and the Communist Intrigues In Italy and France But taken together these developments add up to an Impressive threat of an all-out war to come Hitler Mussolini and the Jap war lords pushed their luck too far and found death for themselves and brought civilisation to the brink of destruction Premier Stalin and his associates In the Kremlin can provoke a repetition of that catastrophe by pursuing the mad adventure upon which they have embarked But though it Is late it Is not too late for Russia to seek and find an answer to all her legitimate needs by peaceful means The solution can be found In President statement at Ottawa: HWe seek a peaceful world a prosperous world a free world a world of good neighbors living on terms of equality and mutual respect as Canada and the United States have lived for generations" The world of tomorrow must be such a world if civilization Is to survive and move on to better things Canada and tha United States have found happiness and security In that kind of world And as the President said "We Intend to expend our energies and Invest our substance In promoting world recovery by assisting those who are able and willing to make their maximum contribution to the same cause to build a better world In which mankind can live In peace and prosperity" The choice today Is between that doctrine and the doctrine of Hitler and Mussolini which can end only In chaos and disaster Gasoline Rationing Again a Possibility Side-Bar Remarks yHxLkdi YES ITS TRUE Resident are waiting water On seas it running in tho guttora all ever

Kern Place nine Humldityl and Austin Terrace are fortunate Yea rains By ROBERT BUABK NEW YORK June The Un-cant piece an archaic coin that used to he regarded as spendable in America is making a comeback Tor the benefit of those who cannot remember the dime it is a little disc of silver about the size of started to say about the Disc of a small button It used to boy a bear a milkshake or a sandwich It was regarded as the formal tip A man who had a dime wasn't broke He could buy a cup of coffee and a nickel hamburger There were all sorts of things you could do with a dime Than the dime became decadent The waitress flung it in your face The hitch eck girl sneered if you ransomed your lid with It The bellboy remarked that you needed it worse than he did and the cab driver snarled and muttered from the comer of his mouth Gela Faahionable I am happy to report that tha dime Is coming beck into vogue especially as a tip It is getting so a man can Under a 10-cent 'piece for a small service and not foci forced to slink away as if he had just kicked a nice old lady The latcheck girls say that the double-jit is rapidly replacing the quarter ea an honorarium for the fedora Tha cab drivers say that not only haa the dime come back Into usage as the prescribed pourboire but that a lot of people have stopped tipping the hseker altogether the drivers call tha no-lippers without malice 1 had six skunks today" they will UU you is awfoL" Maybe Courtesy Too During the lush wsr years a welter spat in your eye if you dropped less than a quarter on the table for a 75-cent check Now the dime is eagerly snaffled and the look la not too reproachful if It is left to cover a buck-fifty tab Tha pleasing thing is that you can key the resurgence of the dime to the return of courtesy I heard a cab driver say "thank the other day when a lady added a nickel to a 30-cent fare And he wasn't being sarcastic "I get a lot of nickel tips" he said "Twenty nickels make a dollar and 10 nickels are better than hauling 10 skunks Wa got start to get used to things like they were before the war" a Hotels Still Uppity I travel quIU a bit and it seems to me that lately the bellhopa and the waiters and the dining car people have Joftaned up terrifically The erroganee has gone out of conductors and stewards Tha hotels are still pretty tough because they never had it better not even during the war If you ever got off a train In Washington during the last five years you remember what a ratrace the taxi situation was You stood around for ages while the starters hurled three in the back seat and two more in the front and finally you make a tour of tha town before the driver got around to dumping you Twenty cabs empty were standing meekly In line when I lit in union station the other day Bach tare chose a cab and drove off alone in the back seat Like Old Times My driver said he wasn't making nearly ss much money but he was kind of relieved to come out of the crush "My fare treat me more like an equal now" he said "Used to be they were always apologizing I even been hollered at recently Lest time I remember a fare hollering at me was in the first year of the war I felt good It was sort of like old times" Some of tha railroads have been sending their help to politeness schools to relndoctrine them In the premise that the customer might be right One line haa abolished tipping In an obvious bid for public favor The clerks in department stores swarm all over you now In a sort of frenzy of helpfulness a It Seems Wonderful I must admit I like it I always resented the insolent patronizing the ill-concealed contempt with which the butcher baker and candlestick maker snatched your money during the war and for a year thereafter It wouldn't be surprising if one of these days an automobile salesman called up and offered to split his commission with you if you'd consent to buy a new heap When the dime flies back can spring be tar behind?

Government tankers Foreign yards are building 156 tankers' he says "and as soon as they are put in operation tha need for American tankers will 'diminish" He says oil companies don't want 'to be caught with whits elephants may prefer to rather than buy tankers add Chairman Unimpressed Mr Roth told the sub-committee: "In view of tha abnormal world demand for petroleum it la obvious the 234 vessels now operated by the Maritime Commission must ba kept in operation after June 30 if the world's requirements art to be met Mr Boyd takes the some position In a letter to President Truman ha

Commission la looking for another solution Its attorneys say It may have tha right to enter Into long-term agency agreements before June 30 thereby continuing tanker operations after the law expires Mr Weichel says ha heard of this "subterfuge" for the first time last Tuesday in tha testimony of Donald Morrison of New York vice president of the Americin-Hawaiian Steamhip Co He demanded that Wade Skinner Maritime Commission attorney produce a written brief "quoting Supreme Court decisions" in support of hia' position within 34 hours He later gave Mr Skinner a week A spokesman for tha American Petroleum Institute says he does not expect a prolonged domestic shortage: If Congress does not set he say oil companies will call beck tankers in foreign trade "completely disrupting overseas

United States rose to an all-time high of 58-330000 In a gain of about 1500000 over April In addition there were 1470000 men and women In the armed forces So that altogether 59800000 Americans held paying Jobs last month In only a few months dining the war when the Army and Navy were Immensely larger has that total ever been exceeded In April there had been a decline of employment and gloomy prophets had regarded It as the signal of a recession beginning if not something worse But May brought an Increase of about 1500000 In civilian job holders Seasonal demand for farm workers to be sure accounted for a million of these but half a million of the gain was in Industrial business and other non-farm employment And although the labor force was expanded In May by more than a million people
