W»g$mmilBlgi,<x«riviYiHi.mmrnnTig8nCTisB«mimEBm3aB Hot .4 Step Tmcard Bureaucy There is a great deal more to the proposal to ! exempt fire insurance companies from the pro visions of the anti-trust laws than appears on j the surface. Some have injected the theory that j to include the all-powerful insurance compan- i ies under the Sehrman Anti-Trust Law would be to infringe upon States’ Rights. But that ar gument has long been employed as a weapon against anything and everything proposed in behalf of the common masses. The powerful trusts, the industrial giants and the privileged great have talked long and hard about consti tutional rights and now they are talking about states’ rights. What about the people’s rights? Is it harmful to protect the people against giants that have grown so big that they even contest the power of the United States govern ment? Briefly stated, the American people last year, it is estimated, paid one billion dollars for insurance. They received 400 million dollars, and they were told to take it and like it. The people don’t like that kind of trading. They are ready and willing to pay a fair price and allow a fair profit for every transaction. But when Senator Josiah W'illiam Bailey overlooks the interest of the little policyholder, glues his eyes on the insurance company stockholder and talks about states’ rights, he is taxing constitutional government and states’ rights. Constitutional government and states’ rights are closely asso ciated with the people and should be designed for the people and not to protect the mighty alone. In more than one country today people are fighting foi their rights. They are questioning the power of the old aristocracy to design and perpetuate laws that favor the chosen few and place the masses at a disadvantage. They have cried and worked m the wilderness lo these many years for a'Tair ar.d equal chance in life. Their cries were not heard and their pleas went unheeded, and now Greece *• w—-s#- • ^i wff''mi ___ countrymen light each other in Yugoslavia when the Germans are not around, France is .divided, ..-■'-d in t> ; .?r»u:vtr; ttere afe clashes,. although peaceful. Kow long peace will reign depends to a great extent upon Mr. Bailey and lht?-*Otfter "in Russia a generation ago just did not spring up. They were manufactured and the manufacturer was eaten. If the insurance companies can hide behind states’ rights when their patrons pay out a bil lion and get back 400 million, then the people, sooner or later, will be ready to do away with states’ lights and substitute their own rights. After all, ours is supposed to be a government for the people and by the people. Some say to oppose the bill is just another step toward bureaucy; others say it is just an other step forward in a peaceful revolution. I i'll Take More Than 4 Resolution There has been much argument over a reso lution calling for a post-war plan to insure the peace. It’ll take more than a resolution to lay and maintain a just peace; the individual must have a part. As individuals we have wandered away from the rules of peace and fairness. We have adopted greed and selfishness, throwing out our chests and boasting our rugged individ ualism. We have challenged the rights of oth ers while as an individual we have demanded more than our share irrespective of the needs of others. We have wandered from the tene ments of peace. Fifteen million children and young people in the United States and Canada today are growing up without regular religious instruction. Indifference has crept into the ideals and things that go to make peace —last ing peace. If one would know how near we are to the ways of peace, let him inventory his own thoughts and actions. There’ll be no lasting peace when one reserves all for himself and ex pects the other fellow or nation to yield all. Yes, it’ll take more than a resolution to build { and maintain the peace. There’s a job to be done | and we, as individuals, will do w'ell to gel busy j with that job now. . SHADRACH. MESACH AND ABEDNEGO’ , - ——: a ■ wrSMnMcaBCBMB—r Christmas Mailings Must Be Handled In November This Year In a frank statement just releas ed, Postmaster General Frank C. Walker warned that only those gifts and greetings mailed in November will be assured of delivery before Christmas, that late mailings will almost certainly be delayed, out of dire necessity, until after the holi "The war has dislocated the Christmas mailing season. This year, November is the time for mailing Christmas gifts and cards,” the Post master General said. His detailed warning follows: “There can be no assurance, in view of the unavoidable handicaps of war, that gifts and cards mailed in the weeks immediately preceding Christmas will be delivered on time. Such matter must not impede the movement of war material and per sonnel and military mail. “Transportation facilities are heavily burdened. The number of railway cars and airplanes available for handling Christmas mail is far below that of former years. Facilities simply are not available to transport and deliver, in the last three weeks before Christmas, the tremendous juantities of mail that we hereto fore moved in that period. “More than thirty thousand postal employees have gone into the armed forces. They have been largely re placed with less experienced person nel. In the past we have called in more than 200,000 temporary em ployees to help us with the holiday mails. Great numbers of these are now in the armed forces and war in dustries, This year we must rely largely upon women and high school boys and girls, who cannot work long hours or at the high speed of experienced personnel. “The only way, therefore in which deliveries of Christmas mall can be made on time is by spreading the mailings over a longer period so that available transportation equipment and postal personnel can be used during more weeks. “Special effort should be made al so to extend the use of postal deliv ery zone numbers on all mail ad dressed to cities having that system, because the numbers expedite mail distribution. “The Postal Establishment today is delivering record breaking vol umes of mail and also is performing huge extraordinary wartime tasks. The Christmas mails will be in ad dition to all these services, which must be kept at maximum efficiency. We musf have public cooperation if these mails are to be delivered on time. “Last year, at the urging of postal people, the public did start its mail ings earlier than usual, but the early volume was small. There was a de luge of later mailings. Many people who did not mail within the time specified by the Post Office Depart ment learned to their regret that their friends did not receive the cards and gifts until after Christmas. “If the decision is to mail early, gifts and cards will arrive on time. If mailings become a last minute de luge as in peacetime years, it will be be physically impossible to deliver them by Christmas, in view of the Pulpwood R. W. Graeber, Extension forest er at State College, says that reports from farm agents show that many fanners who never before cut pulp wood are adding their share to the state’s supply.
