l CATTON’S COMMENT l
: BY BRUCE CATTON
While electric power interests prepare to take the
whole. Tennssee Valley experiment to the supreme
court, .to see whether anything in the Constitution
enables Uncle Sam to behave as he has been be
having in the vicinity of Muscle Shoals, a new prov
osition: of even greater intérest is being made inj
connection with a neighboring watercourse.
This one is the Monongahela Valley of northern
West Virginia. There is already an extensive indus
trial development in this region—coal mines, stee’
millg, glass factories, and what-not—and government
experts have been looking at the possibilities for ¢
great power project there.
But this time, according to reports in Washington,
they are going to suggest that the job be done by
privaté industry and not by the government.
Mdny details are still to be worked out, of course. !
Whether the electric power which can be had so
eabundantly in these 10 West Virginia counties
should be generated by water or by coal is still an
open question.
The-precise way in which housing projects, indus
trial. ovganization, and power 'distributon systems
woulkidsbe organized has not been settled.
Butrthe interesting thing is the suggestion that
this Swhole development be financed and controlled
by private capital, with Uncle Sam doing little morel
than offer suggestions and exercise general super
vision.
With the social objects that are being sought in
the Tennessee Valley no one has any quarrel. Bet
ter hofi'sing. rehabilitation of backward rural areas,
cheabé'r and more abundant electric power, a region- |
al plan which would eliminate wasted effort and give
every Inhabitant a chance for a better life—these
are 59&13 with which no one can quarrel, |
Objections to the program arises because the gov
ernment Is doing these things, leaving little room
for private initiative.
The,Monongahela proposal would be an excelient
counter-balance. By this plan, private initiative
would have i chance to show whether it can pro
vide thy same social reforms.
© If it ;ould prove that it could—if the ends sought
in the Tennessee Valley ¢an be made available by
privatercapital Seeking a profit—then our traditional
profit-motive €conomy would justify its right to sur
vival in the modern world. :
" It would be hard to think of a better way of com
parifg private and public projects of this kind than
to sét up some such undertaking as this, with the
'_l.:VA;“alonss'lde it as a yardstick.
~ As if ‘American cities did not already have enough
problems, a declining birth rate is about to present
them with an entirely new one.
E. Q. Baker, specialist attached to the Departmert
f Agriculture, warns the American Country Life
Association that the American birth rate has al
ready fallen so low that the national population can
not be maintained permanently.
Nothing can keep oup cities at their present size,
he B'&}"s, but & heavy migration from farm to city,
and that will do the trick for a few more decades—
at the cost, incidientally, of a drained and impover
ished countryside.
Sometimes one is forced to suspect that the race
has managed to reach an end of a whole biological
era. ‘During the last two centuries, there has been
a trémeéndous expansion of world population. The
rising curve now seems to be leveling off.
- If national populations, including our own, are
not to increase any more, or even to diminish, some
profound readjustments will presently be in order.
A WORD FOR SANTA
-7 BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
- Ot ‘course, by this time you have made up your
mind “Whether or not to tell Junior about Santa
Claus.” What I have to (ffer won't be much of a help.
But, after all, it is your right and privilege to
handle this situation as you do all others, because
vou know vour litle boy or your girl better than 1
a
" ¥You know, for instance, that he is getting skepti
cal about reindeer that fly and a bag big enough for
one tiny man to tote all over the world, He's sus
piciotis about a Santa Claus on every street corner.
He h@bfi no chimney in his house or aparment, and
you’ve made up all the possible fibs you can to give
the matter an air of probity.
_‘Tl?”t_g, vour common sense tells vou it is time to
make & clean breast of the whole matter. Tired
stretehing conscience until it cracks and guiltily
Qefnsf;tlve of making Junior a butt on which to hang
your own thrills, you decide to talk about the “spirit”
of Santa Claus instead of the little fairy in circus,
like fhabil!ments he's always believed in.
Heye I agere with yvou heartily. There isn't much
use prolonging the sweet little myth after it becomes
a at{uggle.
‘- Anfi;L’ figure that this is about the way you rea
son when it comes to the twins—they are, we'll say,
just under six.
“I ecan’'t see that it hurts anything to let them be

when I was little.” ’
You have only to catch a whiff of pine somewhere
to be lifted on a magic rug and transported back to

KEEP AN EYE ON JAPAN
People who are urging ‘“peace at any
price” on the part of the American people,
are treading on dangerous grounds. The
recent announcement that the Japanese
cabinet has authorized the largest appro
spriat,ion for national defense in the history
of that country should be a warning to all
nations, -especially to the United States.
The bitter and treacherous feeling harbor
ed against this country by Japan, is too
'well known for our government to con
tinue its policy: “As a matter of course, we
‘are not afraid of Japan.” The appropria
‘tion authorized by the Japanese offici
‘als was stated to be $290,000,000, divided
‘between the army and navy. Such action
on the part of that government is of a seri
ous character. It is the first stepping stone
for the building of a great army and navy
in preparation for war at any time. The
Japanese are shrewd and treacherous.
That they have shown in the conference
now being held in England in which three
great powers are contending for what they
believe to be for their best interests. It
has been shown by the representatives of
the Japanese that they will not agree to
any treaty that does not place Japan on an
equal footing with America.
It is not a question of seeking war, but
a problem of avoiding war without stulti
fying our people in the eyes of the world.
Peace, of course, is desirable, but not the
kind of peace that weuld be forced upon
us should this nation stand idly by and
allow other nations to enter into 2 program
of preparedness. The Vinson recommenda
tions and measures should not bhe delayed
by Congress, but immediate action should
be taken, and whatever amount that is
needed to increase the strength and equip
the. army and navy shonld be approori
ated. These are unusual times; times that
demand Congressionai legisiative action
that will insure preparedness which is a
guaranteed instrument for peace. o
NEWSPAPER PRAISES MICHAEL
The Savannah Press in a leading editori
al comments and endorses an address de
livelea by Mr. Max Micnael, well known
attorney of this city, before a large gath
ering of ‘Jewish people on the occasion of
a ‘Luanksgiving service, held in Savannah.
The editorial discussion of Mr. Michael
and his address, reads: 1
“Loyvalty to the nation was the theme of
Max Michael, Esq., prominent Athens law-J
yer, at the union Tahnksgiving service of
gewish congregations in Savannah yester
ay. |
“Mr. Michael is one of the leaders of the
Athens bar, son of a prominent merchant
of Athens. The speaker protested against
the bogus manifestation of patriotism.
Love, devoted to service, is patriotism, he
said, with a desire to keep our country
clean with respect for the rights of others.
Our duty was to live for America with all
our hearts and to protect the ideals of our
country, preserve them inviolate,
“The visit of Mr. Michael to Savannah
was an inspiring one and he reminded his
people that they were assembled in
Thanksgiving and did not come seeking
business. They claimed as citizens of a
great nation to assert their devotion and
loyalty to the law.
“Mr. Michael enjoys the respect and
confidence of his people in Athens and is
t{xet exponent. of the best thought in the
state.”
Mr. Michael is an able and brilliant law
ver. A master of rhetoric, and an orator
of no mean ability. His address was a
classic, appealing to his audience and in
spiring them with interest and aporecia
tion of the subject matter contained in his
‘address.
MORE AUTOMOBILES THAN
TELEPHONES
Strange as it may seem, it is a fact, there
are more automobilec in operation in the
United States than there are telephones in
use. Such a condition would not have been
believed a decade ago, but now statistics
show that there are five million more auto
mobiles in this country than there are tele
phones.
Approximately, there are 17,000,000
telephones and 22,000,000 automobiles.
Evidentiy, the people are inclined to ride
rather than to talk, but be that as it may,
a few decades ago, both the telephone and
the automobile were considered luxuries
and only the well-to-do use one or both.
Now, the use of the telephone and the auto
mobile has grown to be a necessity, and
'wtihout these talking and ridine machines,
commerce and industry would soon be
come stagnated and the people would be
living in an age almost equal to that of the
darkest days in Russia.
WHO CARES A TINKER? ‘
From the number of fatalities and acci—l
dents occurring this year, it is quite evi-l
dent that motorists have no regard for saf- |
ety or care a tinker for the prevention of
casualties on the streets and highways of
the country.
From Janvary 1 to November 1, of this
vear, stastistics show that there were 600,-
000 antomobile accidents on the rtreets
and hichways in the United States. 28.000
fatalities were accounted for and 74.000 |
injured. At the present rate of fatalities,
bv the end of the vear, the list of the dead |
wlil fall short little, if any of 85,000, |
There is little to be done aboint the mat- |
ter, unless motorists take a hand in a safety ,
campaign and be governed bv a desire to
reduce snch occurrences which rest entire
lv with the motorists. With a co-operative |
enirit on the part of all drivers of automo- |
hiles, the number of casualties and fata]i-;
ties can be reduced to a minimum, bnti
withont sveh co-operation, the number is
bound to increase week after week and
month after month. ‘

A Little of Everything,
Not Much of Anything
By HUGH ROWE
i s s R
There are 18 more shopping
days, including Christmas Eve,
before Christmas Day. Christ
mas will soon be here and be
fore many of us will be ready
for it.
However, those who can do their
shopping early will benefit there
from. From our observation
around the stores, many citizens
as weil as out of town shoppers
are preparing to avoid the rush
which always follow in line with
the closing days of Christmas
buying. Stocks are more complete
now than they will be one or two
weeks from now. Picking over and
buying now will be advantageous.
The earlier you shop will be the
better.
In several of the stores this
week, we noticed a number
of shoppers buying Christmas
presents and having them
wrapped, some to be mailed
and some to be kept until
later. &
It is not too soon to mail ack
ages. The merchants ' are pre
pared to furnish you with a label,
“do not open until Christmas.”
BBut, you know, when a package
is received it 1s a test of one’s
curiosity to put it away and wait
for opening until the night before
Christmas. It almost gives a per
son the “jitters,” but that is what
we should do. The Christmas is
spoiled, if you open packages be
fore the day that we celebrate
giving and recelving presents.
Stranger: “When does the
5:15 leave?”
Trainman: “At a quarter past
five.”
Stranger: “Thanks! I get all
mixed up over this changing of
time. &
The general election held
today is the last to be held
this year, and we presume
that the voters will be thank
ful. It has been just one elec
tion® after another for the
whole year.
Next year will be a light vear
for elections. Only one primary
and one general election, ° for
mayor and councilmen, but in
1936, well we will have with us
election galore. Municipal, .county,
state, congressmen, United States
senator and a presidential elec
tion. President Roosevelt will be
renominated by the Democrats
and whoever is nominated by the
Republicans will be defeated.
That much is certain and no one
feels its certainty more than do
the leaders of the Republican
party.
Postmaster General Farley,
who is chairman of the Na
tional Democratic Executive
committee feels confident over
the situation and he should
know.
This year the Democrats had a
landslide and both house and con
gress will be Democratic. That
means that President Roosevelt
will have easy sailing for the next
two years, and he should, for he
has saved this country from a
civil uprising. With the large
number of unemployed, and no re
lief in sight, if he had not provi
ded employment and aid for bet
tering living conditions, well, it
would have been just too bad for
this nation. The people of this
country, regardless of party affil
jations are §n sympatiy with
President Roosevelt's plans, and
when the time rolls around, they
will vote for him to remain in of-

EGYPTIAN COTTON
GROP NOT LARGER
Small Chance Is Seen for
Expansion of Egyptian
Cotton Crop Soon
WASHINGTON — The American
cotton industry heed fear no im
mediate large-scale expansion -of
cotton acreage in Egypt. Any sub
stantial and permanent expansion
in Egypt depends on an expefisive
reclamation project that could not
be completed in less than twenty
,V*ears. according to P. K. Norris of
‘the Bureau of Agricultural Econ
omics, who recently spent two years
n Egypt studying the cotton situa
tion
_Of greater, immediate importance
to American cotton growers, says
Norris in a technical hulletin just
ssued by the U. S. department of
igriculture on “Cotton Production
in Egypt,” is the shift to higher
vielding Wut shorter staple varie
des of cotton. In 1922, Sakellarid
‘s' and other long-staple varieties
eeupied about 75 per cent of the
.otal cotton area in Kgypt, and
Ashmouni and Zagora and other
shorter staple varieties o(?cupiedl
about 25 per cent. By 1922, Sakel
laridis had decreased to 43 per cent
whereas the shorter varieties —
which are more nearly comparable |
to the longer American staples — |
had increased to about 50 per cent‘
of the total cotton ares.
- “It is possible that in the future|
as much as 80 per cent of the Egyp
tain crop will range between 1 1-16
and 1 3-16 inch staple,” says Nor
lris. adding that “with an average
\u'op, this would mean from 1,000,-
!%00 to 1,500,000 bales of a staple
l‘ength comparable with the best
American staples.”
The- annual cotton acreage in
Egypt has fluctuated during the
‘agt” five years between 2,162,000
acres and 1,135,000 acres, These
['luctuatlons indicate, says Norris
that the Egyptain farmer can and
will- shift his cotton acreage wher
conditions justify, but “with the
present system of rotation and the
most favorable conditions, the past
'cotton acreage has exceed 2,000,000
acres only once.” The country
' depends almost entirely upon do
' mestic grain production for its
[food supply, ‘and in view of this
!dependence. Norris =says, “it is
fdoubtful whether the present re
‘lationship of the cotton acreage to
the grain acreage will be materially
altered. -
I “A substantial permanent expan
sion of the cotton acreage,” he con
tinues, “would involve reclaiming
'a part of the waste land. This will
require the extension of the irri
| gation and drainage systems of the
| country. The first step in a pro
| gram of this kind would b® the con.
| struction of storage dams on the
| White Nile in the Anglo-Egyptain
iSudan. Other improvements would
Include a dam in Abyssinia and
. other work in the Sudd region of
| the upper Nile.. The work within
Ithe country would include the con
struction of canals and drains in the
| lower delta.
| “To put through the whole pro
gram of reclaiming the entire agri
cultural area.” savs Norrig, “would
cost about $197,500.000 — a very
‘hrg’e sum for a country the size
lof Egvpt,” and “if this program
were started at once it could not

THERE OUGHT TO BE A SPECIAL
COMMEMORATIVE STAMP!
In -Ne&g York
NEW YORK—The lady who wa:
the hostess asked, with a sl
grin: “How do you like those cana
pes”?
“Swell”, said 5 betweer
munchses, “What are they—
chicken?”
“Oh, come now!” pleaded a dra

other tid-bit. “Don’t tell us tha
Eve has f{inally double-crossed th.
serpent”,
. “*Yes, and 'that’s. _no 'gag,” in
sisted the hostess, whose nam
happened to be Eve. She brough
out a labeled can for proof.
“You're half wrong, anyway,
said the reviewer, who was look

And away he went. .
I sat still, waiting to see if ]

anything, so 1 asked about" th:
snake business. Eve knew the whol.
story. Down in Arcadia, Fla, ther
is a man named George K. End. 2
few years ago, when he was op
erating a small cannery, one of hi
sons Killed a big ragt]er and ‘sug
gested that it ought to be good t
eat. Mr. End said he thought s
too. Mrs. End put on her hat an:
went to the movies.
So the snake was cooked by thr
two remaining ¥Ends—the fathe
and son, I mean—and they like
it. The rest was canned and late
served to some of the Ends
friends. Pretty soon orders bega
coming in, and that was the begin 1
ning of Mr. End’'s new business
Now he sells thousands of cans al
over the country.
He doesn’t raise the snakes, bu
hires hunters to catch'them. Lon
bamboo poles with wire loops or
the ends are used for the purposs
The by-products—skins and oi
‘are valuable, the latter going int

Too Many Lions
Some of his best customers for
animals as well as birds are
wealthy people with large estates
They buy antelopes, swans, chim
nanze2s, and even the fiercer
beasts for private menageries. A
baby elephant i{s fun for young
sters and may cost S3OOO, but
when he grows up and eats $°
worth of fodder a day it may be
lifficut even to give him away
Mr. Ruhe {s disgusted with the
~ondition of the lion market; says
American-bred lions are as com
mnon as guinea pigs, and have no
“ixed value, An tmported African
'fon, however, would -set you back
“bout SIOOO.
Giraffes are very expensive be
‘ause. it's so dificult to ship them
‘heir necks and legs get broker
An uneducated chimpaneezt fresh
"rom the jungle can be had for
%300, but -thorough training may
~dd SI2OO to the asking price
Srangs are cheaper but don’t maks
~g -good pets. The only pet Mr
2uhe has around his house is a
anary.
