Member of The Associated Pre

Unity
"It was impossible to find one Csar, or Poobah. or Ahkoond
of 8wat to take orer the task. That, he explained, resulted from
the fact that in every process of prodaetion three elements were
lavolved labor, management and the buyer-user."
Thus did the Associated
" cent Jiooseveita explanation
fense high command" a singly-headed agency as many per
sona, including vvenaeu wiUkie, nad suggested.
Previously we have ascribed the delay in consolidating:
direction 01 defense largely to
- toe mentioned it first. And now it may be that the shakeup
was ordered in slightly different form just so that it would
s. - bring no satisfied grins to the republican leadership.
Likewise it may be that the new setup will work; will
get the defense machine to clicking, blast open the bottle
necks and speed up production of the million and one things
the nation needs. The nation, at least, is disposed for the time
being to give the president and his new "high command" the
benefit of the doubt. There is general agreement that the
President is fortunate to have so capable an industrialist as
illiam Knudsen to head the production division, and that
he probably will succeed if he is able to marshal capable as-
sistants and is given the support from the White House and
elsewhere that is necessary.
The things that remains to be observed is that crossing
up Willkie was not necessarily the president's motive in or
ganizing the program in a way slightly different from that
suggested. The characteristic Roosevelt thinking is suffi
cient explanation.
"In every process of production three elements were in
volved," the president was quoted. "Labor, management and
the buyer-user."
A single-headed war production system worked effi
ciently in 1917-18. Woodrow Wilson could conceive of a sin
gle, national interest. Today likewise there is a single, na
tional interest but Roosevelt cannot see it. There has to be
av division between labor and management, and each has to
" b represented on the president's board each to look out for
his group's separate interests.
If there is need for a defense program at all and almost
everybody agrees that there is the purpose is to prepare
against the day when the dictators' armies and navies will
mass against the United States. And if that day comes, where
will be the group interests? What difference will there be
between the peril to labor and the peril to industry, to man
agement, capital or whatever you want to call it. If the dic
tators overrun the United States, labor will be regimented;
capital will be regimented.
If that ever happens there will not appear to be unity
between them; they will be set at each others' throats. Act
ually, there will be a hidden unity. They will both be terribly
sorry. Why can't the president see that there ought to be
unity now?
The Barometer
A barometer, so far as most people are concerned, is
something that used to be talked about a good deal in the
dark ages of high school physics classes, but which for all the
explaining and all the talk never made very much sense. It
had something to do with air pressure; the numbers 29, 30
and sometimes 31 seemed to have quite a lot to do with it;
sailors use them, and when the teacher demonstrated the
gTeat phenomenon she used a puddle of tarnished quicksil
ver, a soiled glass tube, and rather an excess of energy. One
never felt that the barometer was a matter which was either
definitely here or definitely there, and so one was never ex
actly breathless in its presence. !
m That is, in general, about all the background information
which one can summon to one's aid when the barometer is
mentioned, either as a matter of polite tea-time conversa
tion or as a subject of street corner and press discussion as
during the past few days. One thinks, "Oh, yes, the barom
eter. The papers say it is very low. Let me see. . . yes, very
low. Now what does that mean?" There the subject perishes
for lack of nutritive material, and one desires that the con
versation shift at once to other channels.
Usually it does. Not, however, during the past three days,
when those Cassandras of the federal government, the wea
ther men, have been making dire-sounding utterances about
. the barometer's being the lowest in 30 years, man and boy.
' The immediate implication is that we're in for the worst
combination nor and sou'wester we've had since Hector was
too small for dog-biscuit. Maybe we are, and maybe we
aren't; seeing is believing, andwe'll wait until then, barom
eter or no barometer.
So much for the poverty of popular philosophy as it re
lates to the subject of barometers. Most of us will probably
never know exactly how peculiar the atmospheric conditions
in our particular part of the country have been in the last
three days, and it would doubtless make next to no differ
ence if we did know. Yet ignorance can hardly ever be a mat
ter of pride, and one may say of barometers as Doctor John
son once said of Greek: it is like old lace, of which a gentle
man should have -as muchashecanget.
AS CAP and the Radio Chains
How do you like BMI music? You inveterate radio lis
teners ought to have your tentative verdict ready by now,
for since Monday you have heard only BMI music plus some
Christmas , carols-r-on the sustaining programs of the three
major chains. The "battle of the airways" is on full blast.
The networks contracts with ASCAI run for another
veek but ASCAP music was discontinued on Columbia and
Mutual some days ago and on Monday they were' joined by
NBC. The dispute involves a little item of $4,450,000, the dif
ference between what the chains were willing to pay the Am
erican Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers for the
use of its music in 1940, and what the society asked for 1941
rights.' The ante was more than doubled, but the society re
duced its charges to individual stations.
When the chains decided to buck the "justice for gen-

hits, including- "There I Go" and "Practice Makes Perfect."
It hasn't the volume and variety of music that ASCAP con

fairly adequate portfolio.
The fabled Irishman would probably be told that this is

The writer looked up SalUsaw

the letter, mli the American
Newspaper Directory (1117 edi
tion) of N. W. Ayerr Son, a
standard authority.

That the country surrounding

That it has two newspapers, the

tablished in 1879; D. A. Grean,

Mayo, editor and publisher.
Sequoyah county is bounded on
the north by Arkansas. The state
of Oklahoma is "bounded on the

Arkansas and Missouri, and on

has 69.448 square miles of terri

In 1930 Oklahoma had I,
123,424 population; 99,726 being
Indians, 7354 Mexicans, and 7.3

Oklahoma stands well up front

from its oil wells.

In its Indian population, many
tribes are represented, from Che
rokee to Choctaw, and all the
way between, excepting Pacific
coast tribes.
Such an example of the great
American respect for men of am
bition and culture ought to be a
good one for reference at the Sa
lem United States Indian training
school.
The boy and girl students there
should understand that, in the
United States of America, they
will be generally respected and
given chances for advancement, if
they show interest and ambition.
The Sequoyahs among them
will be honored and acclaimed If
they wUl faithfully follow their
natural talents.

Their number ought to be
trebled. That institution has room
and accommodations for 1000
students, provided for by the
United States government.
The number attending is about
a third of the capacity of the in
stitution.
Some years ago Alaska Indians
were aUowed to come to Chema-
wa for training. They are among
the brightest Indians among all
the American tribes. It seems a
shame that they are not still wel
come at Chemawa.
Some months ago. this matter
was discussed by one of the work
ers among Indians of the whole
country, a lady who has since
gone to her long rest.
"a .
She said it was Indeed too bad
the Alaskan Indiana are no longer
trained at Chemawa.
But she contended it was worse
that only about a third are taken
from the Pacific Northwest states
who are anxious to come, and
need the training, for their future
Uvea; for the future good of their
communities.
United States Senator McNary
from Oregon has all along worked
for a full attendance at Chemawa.
Something more ought to be
done than has so tar been done
in helping the cause of this school,
now both the oldest and the lead
ing one of Its kind under the

The baste plan of , this reorgan

M. D. The little vine you de
scribe sounds like one of the
small-leaved Ivies. Are you ac
quainted with them? If yon are
recently from the midwest, you
may not be. These little trie are
frequently grown in water. They
will not thrive if the room is too
hot and dry and do nicely in sn
ordinary room which hss ventil
ation from time to time. However
water must be kept constantly in
the container. If the roots are per
mitted to dry out even onee the
ivy is done for.
The best known ef the little
ivies is Hahn'a. This throws out
n number of small branches and
is very attractive. These little iv
ies may also be grown in soil If
good drainage la supplied and the
soil is kept sweet. A little char
coal will help the latter.
N. H. The yellow - flowerinr
vine now in bloom is a Jasmine.
This may be purchased and set
out now without disturbing It a
gTeat deal. Alae this Tins or
shrub grows very easily from set
tings. ltM Pteomsther.
