WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING!

FORUMS OF POLITICAL OPINION Many hundreds of business men of high and low degree have

told leaders of the Administration and Committees of Congress tha t it is a lways to the advantage of manufac tu re r s to producc as many machines, devices or products, as the public will buy; tha t it is to t h e advantage of national industries to operate their es-tabl ishments until the warehouses are filled, and every possible hope of increased sales anticipated. These business men who have come in la rge and small groups to the groat national forum t h a t we call t he Capitol of the United S ta tes have insisted tha t it is to the in te res t of industries to maintain operations of their man-uiactur ing establishments a t all t imes because cooperation with their workmen is a- human and likewise economic desire t h a t creates mutual benefits and avoids difficulties. That is a con-dition t h a t is important alike to employers and workmen. You can see the t ru th and evidences of these conditions in your own community, as it exists throughout the country. One accusation directed aga ins t automobile manufac tu re r s is tha t they over-pro-duced and t h a t ' s why they had to shut down. They are accused of discr iminat ing against the workers when there is no work for the workers to do. The |>olitical critics say thc automobile man-ufac tu re r s should seil more cars in order to supply more jobs, and in the next breath they at tack the credit system which makes it possible for millions of people to buy cars—this, they charge, is dangerous expansion of credit . At the very same time the same politicians of high degree use their e f fo r t s to set-up a plan of long-time payments for home building, ai.d business and farm loans. The automobile sales plan tha t is criticized has proved out in thc past years to the advantage of the public, the manu-fac turers and t h e workers. The tax collector has also been helped. That gent is aways looking for more and more re turns f rom in-creased business tha t flows from the industries.

In a shor t t ime members of the two Houses of Congress will return to the i r homes, a.id the f o r u m s of political opinion will be-come decentralized, as the citizens of thousands of communities are a f fo rded opportunities to obtain f i rs t -hand information f rom their Sena tors and Representative ;—and in the dependable col-umns of t he i r home newspapers, and national publications.

Through the influences of local fo rums of public opinion oui country f i r s t found democracy. Many people believe tha t the traditional customs of discussions and debates among neighbors and f r i ends still is the grea tes t of all sa feguards to democracy. — J. E. Jones.

AIR MAIL PROGRESS From a single-engined, corrugated steel monoplane, f lying

nine pounds of air mail on an historic f l ight between Detroit and Cleveland twelve years ago—the f i r s t commercial air mail f l ight—

To the t ranscont inenta l dash of the crack T. W. A. Sjky Chief, inaugura t ing Air Mail Week May 15, speeding f rom Los Angeles to New York in a tr if le over 15 hours, carrying, perhaps 2,000 pounds of mail, express and passengers.

That , in brief, is the story of the air mail service since Feb. 16, 19*2b, when the post office depar tment , a f t e r showing the way since May 15, 1918, f i r s t turned the air mail service over to private carr iers .

Telling t h a t story to the whole nation as Air Mail Week was observed were two men—the two who flew and dispatched tha t early day plane on its epoch-making f l ight , and who, on the May 15 ann iversa ry were in charge of t he T. W. A.'s sleek Skysleeper on its t ranscontinental f l ight inaugura t ing Air Mail Week of 1938.

They a re L. G. (Larry) Fri tz , now superintendent of T. W. A.'s eas te rn region, who piloted the history-making f l ight of 12 years ago, and S. D. ("Steve") Welsh, superintendent of the west-ern region of T. W A., who was field manager a t Cleveland, re-ceiving t h e f i r s t air mail f l ight and dispatching it on the re turn trip.

These men "grew up" with commercial aviation and the air mail service. Now holding key positions with a grea t airline, they commemorated tha t early achievement side by side, piloting the great inaugural transport on its takeoff f rom the west coast, to an easy landing on the other side ol" the continent.

Along the route of the Sky Chief, pos tmasters met the in-augural Mail Week flight to congratula te the two who pioneered in establ ishing contract a i r mail service, while large delegat.ons of pos toff ice employees, bands, city and s t a t e and government of-ficials were on hand to take pa r t in the celebration.

Although nine pounds of mail was carried f rom Detroit to Cleveland on the going trip, and th i r ty pounds on the return, most of th is mail was in the form "cachets" addressed to s tamp col-lectors. F o r the remainder of t h a t month, daily mail loads av-eraged less than one pound.

Today, 1.500 and 2,000 pound loads on one fl ight a re not un-common on planes of the Lindbergh Line; and since tha t early f l ight , more than 100,000,000 pounds of mail have been carried on commercial airlines within the United States. — LaFaye t te (Ind.) Courier Journal.

A CITY WITHOUT N E W S P A P E R S J u s t w h a t a city would be without newspapers is being learn-

ed at f i r s t hand by Portland, Ore. Due to a strike, the city's three daily papers closed Saturday. And this is what happened:

For general news of the outside world the public had to de-pend on sketchy radio announcements, while for local news, s t ree t corner gossip was the only source. As a result rumors ran wild-ly, none of them dependable, none capable of being verified or dis-proved.

Shoppers and theatregoers, unaole to learn what was being offered, e i ther remained at home or wandered about the city in search of information which they usually found easily by turn-ing to t h e i r daily papers.

In addition to the inconvenience of going without the vas t amount of daily information which the newspapers furnish as a ma t te r of course Portland suffered f rom stagnation of business due t o lack of advertising. . . . .

The funct ion of the American newspaper is to dispense in-format ion , and so well has th is function been performed tha t the average u rban dweller depends upon his newspaper as unthink-ingly as he depends upon his water supply, his electric lights, or . his t ranspor ta t ion . He feels, with justif ication, tha t in the fam- , iliar columns he will find the news and advert isements tha t are | an essential factor in modern life.

Por t l and ' s experience will give its citizens an appreciation of the pa r t played by newspapers in the ordinary business of living. —Kansas City Star .
