THE BEAUTIFUL LUXURY OF RADIO!
While some may claim the radio has become
necessity in the average American home, the Miner
not only is going to insist that radio is a lavish luxury,
but is going to prove the assertion.
It is admitted that powerful, well-behaved sets
now can be purchased by a family of most moderate
means, but therein lies radio’s greatest psychological
balm.
The man in the street, the day laborer, the white
collar worker and the average punk who is haunted
by an inferiority complex when dazzled by Prominent
Presences—all may enjoy the greatest luxury known
to man: Each and every one of them, regardless ot
caste, sex, color or creed may, with a gesture of let s-
consider-the-matter-closed formerly ascribed only to
the snooty rich, reach out to his radio dial and silence
at will Al Jolson, child stars, super-colossals and that
blasted KMED furniture program announcer!
In no other way can Mr. Average Man become the
temperamental shopper and domineering dictator he
is in front of his own radio set.
And with radio programs what they are. if that
isn’t a luxury we don't know what the word means.

AMERICAN SECTRITV FOR AMERICA!
American business “leaders” in the Orient, in reply
to President Roosevelt’s word they would have to
remain in the war zone at their own risk, claim Amer
ican prestige has reached its lowest point in the last
100 years.
Well, that may be how things look over there, but
on this side of the pond we are inclined to believe that
letting them remain at their own risk is better than
them remaining at the risk of everybody else in this
country.
It may be true that a handful of citizens have spent
years and lifetimes building up trade and holdings
in the Orient, but it also is true that millions of others
have elected to stay in our own United States and
build up what they could in trade and holdings. This
being a democracy, well, who the devil do the few
citizens in China think they are?
America has not yet reached that stage of unthink
ing hysteria when the mere waving of our flag »will
cause us to hurtle hundreds of thousands of lives and
our national wealth into the breach because a scat

mussed up a little.
