Adin Ballou In N. Y. Herald
Tribune,
Pinkley & Rickenbacker
Virgil Pinkley, the United Press war correspondent
was here Saturday.
Captain Rickenbacker over the air Sunday.
Two very different talks. Pinkley young, fresh,
forceful, very much alive. Captain Rickenbacker, just
rescued miraculously from the "valley of the shadow"
shaken, devout, solemnly and profoundly impressive.
Yes, two very different talks, two very different
men. But they brought the same lesson back from the
war front
IF "we the people" could only spend a few days in
North Africa, or on Guadalcanal, with the home
boys who are fighting and dying, how -differently
we would feel, and how differently we would behave.
No doubt of it That truth has been emphasized
in this column many, many times since the war began.
VES, great as the misfortune would be if the Japs
1 WERE fighting the other side of the Siskiyous,
or the Germans invading Long Island, there is no
doubt of one great compensation:
No one would be complaining about this war reg
ulation or that this minor sacrifice or some other!
Everyone would be on his or her toes asking "what
can I do don't care what it is, at the front or behind
it but put me where I will do the most good!"
And that is where they should be as they are in
England and Russia yes, even in China, with the
enemy hammering relentlessly at the city gates.
DUT with the fighting 6000 miles away on one
side, and even farther on the other, it is difficult,
if not impossible, to visualize what is really going on
the sacrifices and the suffering, day in day, out
yes and even more vital the dangers, not only to our
own flesh and blood over THERE, but the dangers
to us safe and secure HERE at home, if they fail.
Some people have the needed imagination. But far
more don't And the genus homo in the mass never
does. s
CO there is nothing to do but do the best we can.
For in arousing the fighting spirit there is no sub
stitute for danger not remote or possible danger,
but certain danger here, now, immediate.
THE next best thing, of course, is what is being
done having men like Pinkley and Ricken
backer, just returned from the war zone, meet the
Eeople face to face or talk to them over the air and
ring the TRUE situation home to them as far as that
can he done.
We are certain those who heard Pinkley Saturday
night and those who listened to Rickenbacker yester
day, have a clearer realization of the real war situa
tion than they ever had before. Yes and they are im
bued with a firmer determination than ever before,
to uncomplainingly and resolutely do whatever lies
within their power to do, to not only win the war,
but win it in the quickest possible time.
Certainly such stirring and inspiring talks are in
valuable in stimulating the national morale, and all
right-thinking people feel grateful for what such men
are doing for the cause, without reward or remunera
tion. DUT the fact remains the extreme distances of the
fighting fronts do present a serious obstacle to.
arousing the maximum fighting effort, and the more
clearly we realize this fact and never overlook it
the harder we work to overcome it the less serious
the handicap of distance will prove to be.
Revival of Religion?
The experience of Captain Rickenbacker, as far
as the religious implications are concerned, is not un
usual in this war.
In fact one of the most striking features of the
conflict thus far as far as the American forces are
concerned, is the surprising spiritual awakening.
As one of the army chaplains remarked during the
Bataan campaign:
"There ara no atheists In fox-holes!"
A ND there were none.
Facing death, brought down to the grim realities
of a struggle for survival, these husky young chaps,
to a man, decided there was a divine power after all
they had never recognized before the one thing
that might save them, or if not that would support
them in their extremity and carry them through to
the end like men! Declared Rickenbacker:
"Not I nor any of the men on that life raft will ever
lose faith In God."
THE story of that other life-raft earlier in the war,
' and innumerable experiences of danger and res
cue on land, have all pointed to the same spiritual
conclusion.
Whatever else may come out of this war, there
is little doubt a new religion or perhaps better, a
revival and reimplementation of the old will be a
by-product Perhaps the one great outstanding con
tribution, of this second World War.
Books For the Army
We are asked to put in a good word for the next
"Victory Book Campaign" and are glad to do it
Next to letters from home and the best girl the
boys in the army appreciate good books. This is par
ticularly true of those wounded or on sick leave.
Books, especially exciting and well written ones are
at a tremendous premium in the service.
This movement is sponsored by the American Li
brary Association, the Red Cross and the United
Service Organizations. We can imagine no one being
opposed to it, all should be for it

EYE
Is the dally use of a home
made solution of boric acid in
rain water as an eye wash harm
ful to the eyes?
M y daughter
wears glasses
for nearsight-

P ' .- j 1 worries me to

this eye wash
so frequently.
(Mrs. L. J.)
Probably the
girl has acquir
ed the belief
that her eyes
Dr. Brady are "weak"
myopia or nearsightedness if
often regarded aa "weakness"
of the eyes and Imagines that
the regular use of an eye wash
will "strenghten" her -eyes.
There Is no foundation In fact
for such belief. If anything the
prolonged or habitual use of this
or any other eye wash or drops
would tend to make the eyes
sppear "weaker" or less clear
and bright, tho of course it
would have no appreciable in
fluence on the eyesight or vision.
Boric (formerly called boraclc)
acid may be had in colorless or
pearly scales or in whit pow
der. It is very cheap. It la not a
germicide, but has mild antisep
tic effect when used in powder,
ointment or solution.
Even the antiseptic value (that
is, power to prevent or retard
multiplication of germs) of boric
acid solution applied as drops or
as a wash for the eyes, as spray
or irrigation In throat or nose,
as mouthwash, bladder wash,
bowel wash or enema, is feeble
at best, for the boric solution Is
not only not germicidal but
when so applied It Is In contact
with the surface only for a brief
moment. While boric acid solu
tion, if freely applied as a wash.
Is an excellent detergent or
cleanser to rinse or wash away
mucus, abnormal secretions and
such germs as may be on the
surface for this purpose it Is
probably even better than "nor
mal salt solution" because the
boric acid solution is tasteless
It cannot penetrate the musous
membranes to reach disease
germs which may have Invaded
the tissues. And we must re
member. It Is not the germs on
the surface, where spray, gargle
or irritation can reach them, but
germs that have already invaded
the tissues and are beyond reach
of any such antiseptic, that
cause the Inflammation, infec
tion or disease.
If I had a sore throat or any
threat of one and you offered

congressional group 'ghich sus
pects that Herbert H. Lehman,
In his capacity of director of re
lief and rehabilitation for all
the world, would be financed
through executive order on
RFC and congress would be
kept in the dark as to what
Lehman was doing or how much
money ha was spending. No
one has yet announced where
Lehman will obtain money for
his global relief and reconstruc
tion; that the project will re
quire several billion dollars is
acknowledged. (Vice President
Wallace now explains that when
he said the United States would
provide quart of milk to
everyone In the world, In
speech last May, he was using
a figure of speech and that this
off-hand observation has been
misinterpreted. At the time It
was supposed that Wallace was
an administration spokesman).
DESPITE the secrecy of RrC
funds, it is possible to show
where some of the money is go
ing. For Instance, the United
State has paid $1,488,600 to
train several hundred young ,
men from Latin-America as

What's the Matter With
The aockMarket?
bMfi Rvlw Volum, Trie and DrWoW
Wilmington, Dela. In the
year that has passed since Pearl
Harbor w have seen the lowest
volum of stock market trading
sine 1914. It amounted to only
108,863.000 share. This Is 33
under th corresponding period
of year ago. During the past
year rail averages went up about
0.33 while Industrials were
down approximately T.89. And
this during a period when Lon
don, .Berlin and Amsterdam mar
ket moved consistently upward
under a heavy volume of buy
ing. Sea Explanations
Why Stocks Lew
It, therefore, may not be pos
sible' to obtain many good stocks
during th coming 13 months
at prices which have prevailed
during the past 13 months. A
preponderance of bad news,
Government financing, tax un
certainties, the normal shocks
snd mental stagnation of war
have all had their effects on the
stock market. Even though the
belief haa been current, that in
view of inflation, equities are
better to hold than cash, there
has been but little buying for
hedging.
Lack of ready cash by well-to-do
investors has also helped to
slow down market activity. Ex
cept in a real stock market
boom, such as in 1928 and 1929,
the public has never participated
much In the purchase of listed
securities. Usually this group
get in during the last few
months of sustained rise. They
contribute little except "small
change" to rising volume and
prices. Wealthy individuals, es
tates. Insurance companies and
Institutions formerly heavy
buyers of securities are now
obliged to use their available
funds for Income taxes and the
purchase of government bonds.
Hence, these groups are no long
er an Important factor in the
stock market.
Buslnea. Dividend
At Oanereu Levels
For' nearly all types of busi
nesses represented by New York
Stock Exchange Issues, volume
has been at record heights.
Amusement, copper, steel, util
ity, rubber, airplane, and mall
order companies have all en
joyed an extremely heavy gross
business. Furthermore, in spite
of allowances for high excess
corporation taxes, dividends
have been generous with many
companies declaring year-end
extras. However, aggregate div
idends for 1943 will not be as
large as they were in 1941. Un
like th case In recent past
years, a fair share of regular
dividends and most of the extra
dividends will not go back into
th market for th purchase of
additional shares.
In all probability many com
panies hav passed, or are pass
ing, their peak volume of busi
ness for the war period. Neces
sary capacities for war produc
tion are nearly, If not entirely,
reached. If and when some
critical materials ar released
or higher priorities are available
to certain concerns, as In the
cas of rail equipment com
panies, they maw do better In
1943. This can also be true of
companies selling equipment to
municipalities. Dividends, too.
may have passed the honeymoon
stage. While they may continue
in Individual instances, the total
for 1943 msy not rise above that
of this year. I am, however, gen
erally bullish on th price of
good stocks.
RIs and rn to
Follow War Rumor
At th recent Annual Business
Conference In Babson Park,
Massachusetts, I mad th state
ment that stocks which suffered
most during the war would
prosper most after th war.
These include most of th so
called "peace Issues". From sow
on w shall probably face a
wav of peac rumors. Peace
stocks will rise and fall with
them. Or these I will treat fur
ther In my Annual Review. If it
turns out to be a long war there
is probably still some gravy in
th war stocks. But Investors
and management alike are wor
ried over the re-negotiatlon of
contracts. Until this question
is definitely settled it will hav
a bearish Influence.
Opportunltiea Ahead
rr Speculation
T balance unforeseen losses,
the investor is Justified in seek
ing at times speculative profits.
Income alone from securities
will rarely compensate for de
clining profits caused by events
beyond the control of the cau
tious Investor or outside the
scop of ordinary commonsense
buying. Hence, the wide awake
investor must be continually on
the lookout for special oppor
tunities through which to main
tain his principal. "Special sit
uations", however, require care
ful study and selections should
MndilW h made. Bv these I
do not mean the entirely new
fields of manufacturing ana pro
motion which some "smart"
lman mav Mm around with
aa an "after the war certainty".
New use for old products,
new techniques In production,
th rreatlon nf avnthetics and
the chances for investment in
thoroughly deflated situations
may offer the best opportunities j
for profits. Real estate equities j
iinhammrod bv mortgages are
a case in point Of this latter, I
hope some week to write in de
tail. Yes, for the imaginative
and courageous Investor there
ar many opportunities to turn
losses Into profits. I care not for
the circumstances. Even under
the worst conditions someone is
always making money.
Communications
ONLY THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST
To the editor,
Your Thursday editorial. "Win
the War First," waa sure fine.
Formulating and broadcasting
Utopian peac treaties now, is
NOT helping us win this war,
ignoring, as they do, what our
allies may wish, or demand.
In the hearts of Stalin,
Churchill, Kiang Kl Check and
D Gaulle there must be grow
ing a deep contempt for these
half-baked American peace the
ories. The first demand of each
nation will be for what they
consider JUSTICE. If, later,
any of those nations wish to
show kindness to their neigh
bors, it will be THEIR business,
not ours.
Is It our business to remodel
the political structures of our
allies? Churchill recently told
the world that he Is not fighting
this war for the purpose of dis-,
membering the empire. Ameri
can orators who now denounce
empires are weakening Eng
American friendship. Again, if
the allies win, there will be no
peace table till the last Axis
soldier Is kicked out of
Esthonla, Latvia, Lithuania, East
Poland and Bessarabia. Just
who will then demand that
Stalin restore Independence to
those lands? Why not take our
heads out of the sand and face
the grim realities?
Supposedly the wisest braini
est men of th nations sat at
th Versailles peace table, and
botched their Job. Is the world
better now? Will Stalin,
Churchill, Roosvelt, Kiang Ki
Check, or their delegates, be
more altruistic? Has the Gol
den Rule now become the guide
book of the nations? If not
why should we expect the peace
table to be governed by It?
Around that peace table will
sit the keenest diplomats, the
shrewdest politicians these gov
ernments can send, each ln
