(no state named) and it being delivered to the poatoffice here. But it took six months to canvass the Yon Yonsons, and make delivery to the proper party. Whether that tale is true or isn't, it might well be. For in the not too dim and distant past Rockford had the largest proportion of Swedish residents, of any city in the United States. And the proportion is still large. But labor is no longer overwhelmingly Swedish. In the part 20 or 25 years, there has been a tremendous influx of South Italian, "polack" and colored, while the Swedish population has more and more produced the capitalists and executives, very skillful and successful ones as well. A A A A This morning one of the minor executives of local machine tool factory called to get a proxy signed. It seems only yesterday the same man called to solicit a stock subscription to the same concern, and while he persuaded the head of the family to put in a few dollars, it was the writer's strong conviction it would never pay out, for the idea was to manufacture a new type of adding machine, with the well established Burroughs to tackle, as a competitor. m It didn't look good then. But today that little venture, with only a few thousand dollars of cash money to. start on, Is paying a federal income tax of $2,000,000! (If you can't figure out the profit from that you might call in Mr. Harding!) A A A A A And all in 20 or 25 years, yet some walllng-wall habitues claim all big business opportunities passed with the liveried coachman and the gingerbread porte-cochere! The little company made such a success in a highly competi tive field it sold out at a sweet profit, as far as the adding machine was concerned, went into oil burners, also scoring heavily, and now Is devoted entirely to machine tools for airplane factories, working night and day, with three full shifts. The huge profits cf the gay nineties are no longer realized, but the profits are quite sufficient, and there has been a generous stock dividend as well. A A All credit goes to the Swedish gentlemen with energy, initi ative and brains, particularly the latter. There are many others like them, In the manufacturing field today, especially furniture. While in the textile field, all the pioneers were Scandinavian geniuses, many the original knitting machine Inventors, Nelson, Burson, Peterson and their compatriots. Yes, Rockford was liter ally built up by the Swedes, via both brains and brawn, and owes Its manufacturing eminence largely to them today. A A A A sunny day at last, they come about once a week these days, and the Rock river celebrated by the ice going out, at least most of it. But in a very unspectacular way. In the "old days" the Ice used to stage a real performance, ice Jams piling up like some living thing, then crashing down again and sending up huge splashes of ice and spray, grinding In dirty, angry con volutions against the State street piers, and at times carrying off parts of the Main street boat houses when the water was high. But It Just WENT this time, like the wily Saracen, picked up its tent and stole away, leaving close to 400 yards of a clear, liquid straightaway from the Harlem bridge to the waterpower, and what an improvement In appearances with the sunlight dancing on the clean surface of the fast flowing stream, instead of dirty, rumpled ice and snow. But no one bets it won't freeze over again this year, spring doesn't mind the almanac in this part of Illinois, the mercury may hit freezing as late as May. Walked down to Porter's corner, and at the super-super service station, which hides the once magnificent but now delapi dated Spnfford mansion from view, three little girls on bikes drew up before one of the highly polijhed gas pumps while the leader, with molasses-taffy pig tails hanging down her back directed the gayly uniformed attendant to put air In the assembled tires. Kneeling down in the melting ice and snow the obsequious young man, did as he was told and the leader, pinching her own tires carefully to make sure they were OK, remounted the bike and rode majestically on, FOLLOWED BY HER LADIES-IN-WAITING not, as far as we could observe, even saying "thank you!" Pity the poor service man, as bikes continue to replace motor cars, he promises to be a busy, and sadly underpaid young servitor! A A A A A According to the grape-vine when in Washington, there was no hope of saving Singapore, but there was of saving Java, and under General Wavell's skillful direction, the wily Nipponese were going to get the SURPRISE of their treacherous LIVES around Batavia. Of course this may happen yet, but with Wavell transferred back to India, Just when things are looking bad for the allies, it certainly doesn't look that way. In fact It looks Just about as it looked a week or so before Singapore fell, no hope of victory, only a delaying action. The one ray of sunshine is another Indisputable fact, that It looks also very much as it looked in the Philippines Just before Manila fell, and the Philippines DIDN'T. Yes, unless there is something about the terrain on Bataan, which places it in a class by itself, as far as defense is concerned, General MacArthur must have something on the ball no other ailied commander in the Far East has. And if the allies expect to save anything in the Far East, it would seem the sooner they place MacArthur in supreme com mand the better for all concerned (all at least but the Japs). A A A A A Reading between the lines the transfer of General Wavell appears to be no demotion, quite the contrary in fact, India is far more important to Britain than Java or all the Dutch. East Indies. If the British government did not agree with Hitler and regard General W. as the bes strategist they have, they would probably let him slick to the sinking Netherlands ship and put someone else In command, west of Burma. But we sometimes wonder where and when this "sinking" In the Far East is going to stop! R.W.B. Tire Rationing Board Announces Allotment To Jackson Co.

Joslin estimates that there are 600,000 diabe- tics in the but It overworks the pancreas United States nevertheless. and says the It is failure of certain spec number of dia- lalized cells in the pancreas to betice in the manufacture enough insulin, country is like- that constitutes diabetes, ly to reach a So, whether the physician in million. sists upon it or not, it ought How many to be clear to every one with diabetics will potential diabetes, prediabetes read this art-1 or tendency to diabetes that the W icle I have no idea, but I est imate that a million potential diabetics should read It, al though perhaps only a few thou sand of them will. If there are over half a million diabetics in the country now, it is reason able to assume that there are five million persons who are po tential diabetics. Now Dr. Joslin, who Is a good authority on diabetes even when he doesn't agree entirely with me, asserts that nearly one- fourth of our entire population are now carriers of the poten tiality or tendency to diabetes and may pass it on to their children. The child cannot in herit diabetic potentiality from one diabetic parent alone, if the other parent hasn t inherited the potentiality and is not a carrier of the potentiality. In the 1940 edition Dr. Jos lin deplores the poor teeth of many diabetics and even cites the observation of one Dr. Kent that "destruction of the teeth and the supporting processes Is usually very active Just prior to the onset of diabetes" and adds that increased susceptibility to caries, abscessed teeth and gin glvitis and pyorrhea seems com' mon In diabetes. A healthy person derives about four-fifths of the energy, the calories in the daily diet irom camonyarates s u c h as vegetables, cereals, cereal pro ducts, fruits, nuts, and the su gars, starches or sweets, breads, cakes, pastries generally. Phys iologists find that half of the starch in these foods Is normally digested by the saliva. The sal ivary digestion goes on not only during mastication of such foods but continues for half an hour to an hour longer after the food has been swallowed and is re tained in the upper part of the stomach. If by reason of missing teeth or functionally Inefficient teeth (your own or the dentist's) mas tication of such food is incom plete and the salivary digestive enzyme (ptyalin) Is not suffic iently mixed with the food to reach starch granule or cell, the burden of handling the lncom- News Behind The News by Paul Mallon Continued From Page One) pany, Cleveland, because 100 members of the CIO Mine, Mill and Smelters Workers had been refused recognition as a bar gaining agent. The NLRB had already certified another union. A six-day strike of 800 men was staged at Reynolds Metal company, Louisville, against the adoption of a swing shift which would have eliminated overtime work for them. At the Foster-Wheeler corpor ation boiler shop, Carteret, N. J., a strike was started Febru ary 19 on the right to smoke at work. Five men had been laid off for smoking in the shop against the rules. In protest, all the workers began smoking and a week's lay off ensued. AFL workers at the Man-el Schebler Carburetor company, Flint, Mich., walked out when the NLRB, after two years, fin ally ordered the company to re Instate a CIO employee with back pay. Imagine! It took the NLRB two years to decide the em ployee had been fired unfairly for CIO organizing efforts and then his reinstatement caused a three day AFL protest strike from February 23 to 26. The Armstrong Brothers Tool company, Chicago, suffered a five-day strike because the un ion was refused the closed shop.

The "rights" which were sup posedly being trampled upon merely became magnified In the minds of angry, capricious or poorly-led workers until they assumed an Importance beyond comprehension of those not In volved. Clearly, labor, or Its leaders, is not unanimously living up to the war responsibilities. If a soldier dies at the front because he lacked airplane pro tection or machine guns, the worker who denied him those planes or guns is morally re sponsible. A worker who slowed down on a plane propeller and de layed its delivery, might take a lighter view of his own trou bles. If a casualty list from the fighting front was pasted each morning on the machine at which he works . The local labor leaders might consider their administrative is sues less desperate if they could consult the experience of the lo cal !Abor leaders in France, now in slavery. They can read In fresh history the union excesses by which spiraling French wage Increases, pensions, the 40-hour week were jealously maintained to the ex clusion of victory and the loss of every right Including the right to live.

D. C. Capital Debate Attack Liability Drop Airbus Plan Account Wildlife Bonneville Czar Seeks More Coin i , Br John W. Kelt Washington, D. C, March 5 There is wide diversity of opin ion In the national capital as to whether the Japanese will at tack the Pacific coast when they finish with the south Pacific. Some hold that It Is entirely unlikely, except as a token raid occasionally by suicide squad; others see the entire west coast Inundated by Japanese planes. Ia either event the war depart ment if prepared for any at tempt at beach head and tha army air force Is on the alert. Land or sky invaders are as sured of a warm reception. Even weaker than the Pa cific northwest is Alaska, which Is scarcely one hour's distance from Japanese territory. Aside from the regular steamers and transports, there is no way of tending supplies or reinforce ments into any army or navy I base in Alaska. Two years ago when Oregon-Washington people endeavoied to interest the army in extending Pacific highway (No. 99) to Alaska they were rebuffed. Brass hats declared there was no need for road from the states to Alaska; re garded it as a waste of money which could be put to better use elsewhere. There was even a feeling among some 01 tne older officers that It would be foolish to defend Alaska; that the territory should be aban doned in case of attack. This attitude has now changed. Fsom the president down there is now demand for a highway from Seattle to Alaska and, de spite the routine of legislation, funds will be made available and a start probably made in the coming fiscal year. How ever, regardless of how many laborers are employed at long hours and a constant rush to complete the road, the guess in the capital is that the Japs will be in Alaskan waters before the highway can be built. AAV NO Japanese bombers are expected to reach Washington, O. C, although, as the president has intimated, it Is quite pos sible. Any egg layers visiting the capital are expected to sail in from across the Atlantic. Germans and not Japanese would be at the controls. Mem bers of congress have received instructions what to do in case cf an air raid. The capitol build ing, with Its iron dome and the Spirit of Freedom statue on top. La regarded as about the poorest risk in the District of Columbia. It is a wall-bearing building with floors of brick arch con struction in lime mortar. It is a honeycomb of runways, pass ages, rooms and corridors. The lawmakers have been advised that it they are In the capitol building when there is a raid they must leave immediately for the senate or house office buildings, which are of stone and steel construction and better able to withstand bombing. Warning Is given that the famed tunnels 'rom the office buildings to the capitol (including the sen ate s one-rail railroad) are even more dangerous than the capitol building: the roof is the street paving. AFTER several months of deliberation the war department has cancelled one cortemplated airport because of the wildlife In the vicinity. American fliers have no objecton to mixing with a Japanese aviator in a dog fight, but when it comes to in volvement with Canadian honk erj, pelicans or Just plain geese they draw the line. The wild fowl have such a discoberting habit of flying into a propeller or crashing with a cockpit that the pilots turned thumbs down on an otherwise ideal locality AAA LATEST "east of the moun tains" move is the selection of an extensive area of public domain for the army air corps to use as a bombing range. The location Is a military secret, but not to the stockmen who see part of their range destroyed, and they are kicking vigorously. There Is nothing the cattlemen can do about it. A A PAUL J.

In The Day's News - By Frank Jenkins POM all over the allied world in recent weeks has come the demand for offensive rather than purely defensive fighting. From Java today (Tuesday) comes the response of fighting men to this demand. TTHE story is told in this brief but dramatic dispatch from Bandoeng: "Dutch and allied forces are taking the offensive to drive the Jap invaders of Java into the sea while at the same time their naval and air units are seeking to cut off the enemy's sea lanes of retreat and possible rein forcement." It is a heroic Job. If accom plished, it may well be the turning point of the war. IT 1s a BIG Job. Unconfirmed (but probably accurate) advices to London re port a new Jap armada of 70 to 80 chips bearing down on Java. These ships are carrying enemy reinforcements. They MUST BE STOPPED. Allied (Dutch, AMERICAN, British, Australian) air and nav al forces are pitching into them reckless of death, determined to stop them before they can be unloaded on Java's beaches to turn by weight of numbers the tide against Java s defenders It is a great story of courage and stamina that is being writ ten down there in the Java sea, IIERE at home, Donald Nelson, a. HirArtnr of war rjroduction, calls upon US to match the de votion of these men who are staking their lives In the far flung South Pacific. If they (and others like them) are to go on fighting, he says, they must be SUPPLIED with THE TOOLS OF VICTORY, without which modern wars can't be won. (Gone are the days when battles might be won by fighting men exposing their bare breasts to the enemy.) Nelson appeals for a 25 per cent boost in 1942 production from EXISTING machines alone. He tells us the American in dustrial front faces the greatest competition of all time and calls for an unprecedented drive to "overtake and overwhelm" axis war production, now at its peak. OUTLINING the program of OFFENSIVE as opposed to DEFENSIVE fighting, Admiral King and General Marshall unite today In a statement that American armed forces are get ting ready to CARRY THE FIGHT TO THE FOE. King says: "An all-out effort is being made in the unspectacular but vitally essential task of estab lishing our air and sea COM MUNICATIONS." Marshall says: "Once COMMUNICATIONS have been established and as sured, the army can proceed with the business of carrying the war to the enemy." King adds: "When COMMUNICATIONS have been established, we can develop an offensive which slowly but surely will gain scope and power as we gain strength through PRODUC TION of aircraft, ships and guns." ' WHAT (in military terms) are " communications' They are lines of SUPPLY. Specifically, they are SHIPS. Thousand! of ships. Transports to carry fighting men. Freight ers to carry bombers and fight ers to back up the fighting men. More freighters to carry food and weapons for the fighting men. Because we are vastly FAR THER away, we must have vastly more ships than the Jap anese, who are close. VE haven t enough ships. " (Even If we had enough guns and planes and tanks.) Without enough ships, we won t be able to get enough nsnung men ana ineir weapons to me places wnere me war is being fought. The only way we can get j ships In the numbers needed ts ' to BUILD THEM. I That is where we AT HOME come in. We must produce. I ' IF we don't produce In sufflci- ' 1 ent volume to "overtake acd overwhelm" the war production of our enemies, WE WILL LOSE. If we lose this war, our way of living will come to an end. THESE men in Java are fight ing to keep a toe-hold against the time when American strength gained through pro duction of aircraft, ships and guns will attain the scope and power necessary to overwhelm and defeat the enemy. If w fail in the Job of production, the toe-hold they are fighting to keep will be useless. We mustn't let them down.
