The gist of these answers is essentially optimistic Dr Charles Kettering president of General Motors Research corporation for instance believes that man will as a matter of course "think himself out" Dr Ales Ilrdlicka a famous Czech anthropologist believes that when eventually "the skies clear again there may well be expected a spiritual rebound that will compensate for the losses" A famous physiologist Dr Anton Carlson of the University of Chicago believes that liberty justice and fair play will survive human folly and "sprout again" These are but a few representative opinions of the large number of thoughtful men and women who as Mathew Arnold would say see life steadily and see it whole The strength and intensity of the American scientific tradition are a great national asset In times of social crisis it is of especial importance that this tradition should continue unimpeded Science of course cannot save the world for only man's conscience can do that but science can tell us not only the facts about the world we live in but also the truth about -ourselves Such information is of prime importance as a basis for the moral life An effort was made under near-White louse auspices to work up this merger during the recent visit of New York'! American Labor party mayor to Washington Propect of bringing "the little thistle" Into the fold in the No 2 spot next lime was considered so seriously by his PSsociates here that they put the matter up to Farley with or without the president's approval Farley replied no one except a Democrat could be considered for either second or first place at the next Democratic convention Perhaps this explains' the ubsequent chirruping from the Ickes corner of the new deal threatening to have a third party No Third Parties Now Roosevelt Is not having any third parties now and probably later Neither is Mr LaGuardia It is a good talking idea for windbags to blow around It will be attempted only In case the Rooseveltians want to make the election of a Republican certain The president did not get LaGuardia down here toltalk about that The conference was arranged by the New Yorker's friends In the new deal (notably able A A Berle the No 1 Roosevelt braintruster and assistant state secretary) who have been trying to get LaGuardia into the new deal movement since 1933 If any merger is effected it will be on the basis of promising LaGuardia the labor secretaryship in the next Democratic cabinet or a presidential appointment as mediator of the CIO-AFL dispute both springy spots from which the clever New Yorker could bounce into the 1944 presidential spot light Ed her place wouM make him a campaign speaker on the new deal side right away and that is what the boys here want The labor secretaryship promise is the one most likely to work out oF CLOcLP Axkl cLosEP oF Axkl 4 1 FICAT

to make it work with a minimum of waste and to lend government funds only when there Is a real prospect of the loans being repaid At least that is the way the change which was indorsed by Mot Roosevelt appears to detached persona who know the facts By these it is regarded as a shift in policy as well as in men From now on the policy of sound loans is expected to give way to loans on "social grounds" The emphasis which has been upon the self-supporting farmers will now he transferred to the non-self-supporting the subaverage farmers the "naturals'' for "re- settlement" "rehabilitation" and government subsidy Under Mr Morgenthau Mr Myers and Mr Ilill the A was conservatively admin- istered and the new man and the new policy i seem revolutionary in comparison to the old flavor Despite the official explanation that the move is in order to "integrate the policies of the A with the department of agricul- rryaecia nl oyeml ytofdam pr of ew which oi ml rheh mind i ture" the general feeling is that it is the prelude to a considerable increase in money to be distributed to the down-and-out and near down-and-out farmers in an election year When to this is added the fact that the 1 A has 4500 local farm-loan committees in the agricultural counties iris not surprising that there are those who see a political motive behind the shift and are apprehensive i of the power of this government-financed machine There are it Is pointed out some $600000000 which with the new A A A control over farm-credit agencies will be available for "easy loans" with which farms can 6 be purchased by the subaverage farmers Will tricillate Deficit It is further pointed outthat these "loans" and other expenditure plans attributed to Mr Wallace are all outside the budget which means that they will increase the deficit and add to the debt without seeming to do so It is understood that the selection of Mr Black if and the new policies expected to he Inaugurated are not looked upon with favor by the treasury But they are by the Whilte House and that is the significant thing It is evidence hi that whatever gestures toward departmental reduction Mr Roosevelt may make in his budget message he is still pursuing the plan of unrestrainedly pouring federal funds out on ''social grounds" loans and subsidies that 4 he is making no real attempt to get back to solvency that the job of his successor is being made tougher all the time that whenever he has a chance he replaces a conservative 4 with a radical never a radical with a conservative 1 In brief that there Is no real change In the Roosevelt disposition toward the regulation and control of business no retreat from 6 governmental planned economy For example it is understood that part of the new program under Mr Blacki Nvill be to make government loans to farmers contingent on their compliance with the government con- trot program This of course is a form of financial coercion hacked by the power of public funds Another idea is greater leniency in making both loans and foreclosures Nv hich of course with a reduction of interest th rates and the easing of terms brings the whole business closer to a direct gift from the treasury All of this is approved by the president he acquiesced in the exchange of Mr Black for Mr Hill and the dominance of Mr Wallace over the whole farm-loan credit machine It is not sot prising that the young radicals around the House rejoice 'When a man like Mr Hanes leaves the treasury and a man like Mr Black sue- I ceedx one like Mr Pill it isnt a thing about Inch those

It appears to me that there is need for a regulating body empowered to consider the interests of both the milk producer and the milk consumer Yours respectfully A Consumer Asks Liberal Rules On Forum Articles Editor Tribune: In the inter As the time approaches for the appointment of a chief of police by the new city commission there is naturally much speculation with respect to the available candidates This is as it should at the present time when the problem of law enforcement in American cities Is of top-ranking importance but more eapeciallyIn the light of our own dismal record of recent years such comments as we have heard however turn largely upon the suitability or Incompetence of this or that particular person But what Is needed in our judgment It a better understanding on the part sit a larger body of citizens of the law enforcement problem itself and a more objective appreciation of the qualities of a modern police administrator What has been learned from American experience with crime and criminals in cities like our own? Can we profit not alone by our own mistakes but by those of other communities? In the first place we must rid our minds of such naive notions for instance as the belief that police work is essentially sleuthing and that only big bruisers are suited to the task The bulk of modern police work in fact is not crime detection but crime prevention This fact calls for new policies and new techniques in dealing with the public the problem of traffic for Instance is a case in point Here is a new function in the historical evolution of police work but who will deny its paramount Importance in presentday law enforcement work? Moreover what police force can succeed unless there is public confidence in its program of public safety? More important therefore than the size of a policeman is his social understanding and his ability to deal with the public But what precisely are the characteristics of a successful chief of police? After the demands of normal physique good health and superior intellect are met there remain three paramount ingredients superlative character superior education and special training It is a truism that the Integrity of a police chief should he of such a high order as to place him beyond the possibility of corruption for 110 public servant is subject to more temptation than he In the matter of honesty he must he the model for as well as the leader of the rank and file of his department A superior education is also necessary in order to sup-: ply the necessary perspective which law enforcement work too often lacks The matter of training and experience Is of vital Importance There is a wide spread movement in this and other countries for the special of policemen but also of police executives for there are practical problems in human behavior criminal law applied science which every police executive must understand and cope with as occasion arises These skills and bodies of knowledge can no longer be picked up casually they call for a systematic course of training such as the larger and more progressive universities are now offering and of the kind provided by the department of justice through the work of the national police academy To secure such a person as a chief of police in the ordinary American city requires adequate remuneration certainty of tenure and a number of other legitimate guarantees which cities like Salt Lake are to often unwilling to give It is axiomatic however here as in other phases of government that we tend to get no more than we pay for Fortunately under a commission form of government such as ours the responsibility for the selection of a pollee executive is placed squarely on the shoulders of our elected officials What a great thing it would be for the welfare and reputation of Salt Lake City If in the present situation an appointment could be made in keeping with the finest traditions of modern American police work so that during the years ahead the chamber of commerce the civic clubs the religious bodies and the citizens generally might point with pride to the low crime rate and the general efficiency and integ rity of our law enforcement department!

Recently published figures show that per capita milk consumption in Salt Lake City has declined sharply during the past few years while the retail milk price has remained relatively higher than the price of any of her comniodi I The staff of a responsible mt tional publication made a comprehensive study of the net ions milk industry and their report as published In the November Issue concludes that in general milk producers are underpaid and consumers overcharged One example they give is a case where an IS-store grocery chain In California Is able to properly process and retail high-grade i I 1 0 6 4 slaims- 0 10 4 A So A 4 4 a 4 I I vs 4 a 4 a 1 4 4 4 4 i 4 i 4 1 I 1 4 1 4 I I 1 McNutt Fadeout Seen wise MPT1 here are scratching Paul McNutt off their lists of presidential possibilities They promise news developments in the next 60 days which wU turn official thumb down on him It it develops that way there will be many a broken bone among the -seers who crawled out on limbs predicting and urging the Iloosier's nomination on the assumption Mr Roosevelt wanted him is getting the inner official spotlight now The state secretary is being talked up increasingly by the downtown administration crowd It is admitted however i chance will be made or broken in is forthcoming reciprocal trade treaty scrap with the senate Roosevelt is going down the line for Bull on the trade treaty issue The president will shortly let it be known he is planning a fireside chat in January to advertise to the nation the benefits of Mr Hull's handiwork milk at a profit with a 3-centper-quart margin above the amount paid the producer Local producers are paid 314 cents to 4 cents per quart for milk At 11 cents per quart retail distributors thus have had a margin of 7 to 71i cents per 4 Senator From Sandpit Ham Park ests Of good government I sincerely protest any further restrictions on public forum discussions which are the only means of blasting our political methods out from the dark ages and making it possible tevdevelop a sound civilization Past history teaches that the radical and his misplaced words whose mental growth was obtained in following natures route has played just as great a part in developing the vorld's civilization as the man of education whose mental was planned and prepared by the political dictator that he may be successful in dealing a pack of special privileges propaganda and false statements to unbalance the growth of CiVililat lOrt a defect in governments that was adopted In the time of Adam when the serpent the enemy of good government successfully used such methods in persuading Eve to N'ote his ticket dealing a change In the form of government from an allotment system to a democracy a plan to slow up the growth of human intelligence so that the development of the resources may be accomplished by the human machine This should be sufficient evidence that a well-balanced economy condition cannot exist with an unbalanced educational system That is now out of control because the political dictators refuse to release their victims to mental growth and allow civilization to keep pace with a modern machine age They are too selfish to permit honesty truth and fair dealings a clear right of way to the point where all nations may successfully fight their battles ith ballots instead of bullets Peterson St Anthony Idaho The balanced man is 51-'whiii clings to the best in the old --and appropriates the desirable in the realm of death The strongest there has no supremacy and the weakest needs no defense The mightiest captain succumbs to that invincible adversary who disarms alike the victor and the vanquished" How to Count Count your garden by the flowers Never by the leaves that fall Count your days by golden hours Don't retnember clouds at all Count your nights by stars not shadow Count your life with smiles not tears And with joy on every birthday Count your age by friends not years --Anon Notes on the Cult Department I gratefully acknowledge the receipt of "The Scrap Book" a little volume of choice bits of it humor and philosophy sent me by Mr and Mrs Wyman Berg of Provo New York High Lights By Charles Driscoll On the last day of the year we are all apt to become sentimental The cartoonisLi have done their sketches of the old year being kicked out and the fat-faced infant toming in We are almost sure to reflect upon what the year ha a meant to each of us personally And who can help remembering that the year just closing has not brought peace and happiness to the world?
