We are beginning to wonder which is the worse, the radio commentators of the newspaper columnists. Many a patriot is giving his time to the nation?at twice what he was making before service began. American women may favor the Chinese bat they still wear Japanese silk stockings. Smokers never born up money; they born up tobacco and the money stays in circulation. -?? -1 People who want everything they z^ead to be in line with their notions rarely read the Bible. DR. GALLUP DEFENDS HIS FORECAST Dr. Gallup, who conducts the fam ous polls of the American Institute of Public Opinion, defends the ac curacy of the present presidential poll, asserting that it will reflect the election outcome just as other Gallnp polls have done is the past. The poll-expert reminds the public that his business depends upon the accuracy of his forecast. He says, quite properly, that he will cease writing for the newspapers in No vember if he polls a phoney, like that of the Literary Digest, in the last election. Dr. Gallup is right. Of course, his poll may be erroneous but the fact remains that his business of fore casting will be exterminated if he misses this election. Regardless of his inclinations, or preferences, he is more concerned with the accuracy of his predictions than anybody else in the United States. WHO TOOK THE FOOD? - Lady Astor, sharp-to ngued Vir ginian, who has played an interest' ' ing role in British political affairs, begs Americans not to fall for Hit ler's propaganda about starving Eu rope. She points out that when Hitler entered Denmark, the Danes had enough food to last two years and. that even France had full rations, ex cept for pastries. Holland and Nor way were well-off for food. If theee countries lade food today, Lady Astor wants to know what be came of their food and what will be-, come of any food that is sent to them. Wo think the people of this coun try understand the situation. They are extremely sorry for the- people of the Nazi-seized lands but they have no intention of patting any ' ? piesme upon the British to relax their blockade. They knots that even if the food that they sent did nothing hat keep the conquered populations ijGermany because RWer would com msadeer them to labor in behalf of Germany's war effort I MST80TBB8 4m n w*^?i gxw*j ?

I ' '? " ? _ FAS EAST One way to gttage the situation in the Far. East is to see whether anoth er group otf battleships, enriwera, de stroyers, submarinee, and supply ships come to the-Fadfic Coast. I*st week, the first group of ships com pleted a visit to the Coast and it was planned to permit other vessels to come to the Coast in turn. If a sec ond detachment comes home from Hawaii, it will mean that no im mediate crisis is in sight. CHALLENGED One of the cases before the Su preme Court involves the contention of 39 states that the Federal Gov ernment is invading powers reserved to the states through its attempt to regulate power projects on non navigable streams. TO SEND SHIPS American liners are to be sent to China in order to assist in bringing home Americans who are anxious to leave the Orient. With something like 15,000 Americana in the Far East, the United States has suffi cient tonnage available for their em ergency voyage home. GOLD The flow of gold into the United States is beginning to slacken, ac cording to the Department of Com merce, bat the monetary gold stock of this country increased $881,644, 000 in September. It now totals $21,244,382,000. BUT LESS; SELL MORE While trade between the United States and Latin America has in creased substantially during the past twelve months, there is an increasing disparity between the amount we sell and what we buy. While exports in creased fifty per cent to $788435, 000, imports increased only thirty one per cent, $515,915,000. SAFE CONDUCT Italian Admiral Giuseppe Canto, who has been representing his na tion ah the World's Fair, and ten members of his staff, will be per mitted to go back to Italy. The- ? British Government has granted safe passage as an act of courtesy to the United States because the Italians were in this co untry on an invitation extended to them by the American Government.
