Little Likelihood of Long War
We believe that the war in Europe must inevitably
become a stalemate—that British seapower and German
airpower will just about offset each other in effectiveness,
and that neither Germans nor Allies will be able to make
important gains through the great lines of
on the Western Front. From this, it is argued that both
eides will finally be forced to conclude some kind of a
peace, if only to prevent Communism from engulfing
Europe. K 1
tracted It has Euiopean long been said that the only winner in a pro
war will be Russia. And during the
brief time this war has been fought, it is apparent that
Stalin has achieved the only major victories. The ominous
shadow of the U. S. S R blankets the Baltic completely—
and extends far into the Balkans. Many an expert argues
that Hitler gave away far more than he gained when he
made his deal with the Soviets.
Today it seems certain that Russia holds the balance
of power. She can stop Hitler cold in his northern advance
-she holds Germany at her mercy when it comes to many
essentm supplies On the other hand, if she threw in
'with Hitler and actually sent her vast army to tight with
the Germans, few believe France and England could lofig!
survive. The probabilities seem to be that Stalin has def
interest, initely decided most not to take the latter step—it is to Russia’s!
experts are convinced, that she stay neutral !
—play one side against the other, and finally, when the
two sides are worn and exhausted, step in and gather the
spoils. !
Also of great importance is the current attitude of
Italy. No longer does the controlled Italian press H oil Hitler
at every opportunity and revile the French and Rritish.
Mussolini hates Communism, apparently, far more than
he loves the Nazis. And the German-Russian pact seems
to have blasted the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo axis to bits.
Business Recovery Not Laid Entirely to War
It should be remembered that business was improving !
fn this country before Germany invaded Poland, and Bri- 1
tain and France declared war. Therefore, late jumps in I
the business cycle cannot be entirely laid to hostilities!
abroad. War was a ‘boom factor, but it didn t change |
– downward trend into an upward trend. lt simply ac
celerated (to an immense extent in some lines) the better
ment (hat had set in some time before. |
The first , weeks of the frenzied ;
war < buying and
saw
manufacturing—everybody seemed to be trying to get in
on the ground floor at once, before prices shot skyward. 1
That first rather hysterical phase of the current improve
ment apparently has passed. The uptrend in the barome-1
future ‘7 co betterment " tinue ’' but will also » «!<« be slow— !■««• but it »“«o»k is a fact h which that
you can take for what it is worth that practically all of
the economists feel that it will continue. j |
Business is better than most of us realize. Industrial
production today is close to the 1029 level—some barome
ter, show it even -lightly above that point. A number of
industries hate actually passed the pre-depression peak, j
Of these, the most important is steel, which recently j
touched a new high. Other industries which are doing
better now than in 1929 from the production standpoint
(but not from the profit standpoint) are electric power ’
shoes, textiles, oil refining and tobacco manufacturing.

,, sharp increase in inventories occasioned by the war has |
not yet been met by a comparable increase in consumer j
purchasing. And it seems improbable that foreign de
mand, at least in the more or less visible future, will be
adequate to absorb the supplies—all Europe is short of
cash, utmost and before her nations spending will use their own resources to the |
any of their slender gold hoards,
AlS a result, it is to the domestic market that we must prill
cipally look for a rise in demand that will justify the rise
in production.
That the country is all set to go ahead is obvious from
even a cursory fiance at basic statistics. Business Week.
for instance, thinks that without bemfover-sanfuine.it is
reasonable to anticipate a push upward that will bring us
ahead of 1929 economically. As evidence, the magazine
points out that bank deposits are at their all-time high
and that excess reserves of banks are also at record high
levels. The cash is on hand when our people are ready!
to it. '
use
All the influences seem to be for the better At the
same time, it pays to be cautious—we have seen the stage |
set for recovery, only to have a new “recession” take hold
and shatter our hopes. If another break comes soon and
the indicators reverse their upward course, about every
ex^H 1 1 in the country will have to go into hiding. They
are practically all predicting boom times. 1
A Safe Rule
The fall and winter season do far more than change
the picture outside your door—thev set up hazards that
must be guarded against. Among these is the danger
•rising from carbon monoxide, or auto fumes, a danger
which, despite the annual warning of newspapers, claims
man .) livos annually. ( aibon monoxide cannot be i
and it cannot be detected by its odor. Its seen,; 1
effect is so swift
that death can result before one is aware of its presence,
These chilly mornings make it a hazard in every garage
and car owners who do no guard against it face a danger
far more deadly than thev can encounter in any kind
of traffic. There is but one safeguard against death from
carbon monoxide gas, and that is so simple anyone can
apply it. It is this—never start the motor on' a chilly
morning without first being sure the garage doors are
wide open. Always do that and your name will not
be -idded to the lost list of those who met death this fall
and winter from carbon monoxide gas.

Lesson: Matthew 5:17—8:18.
Golden Text: Ye therefore shall be
perfect as your heavenly Father is
perfect. Matthew 5:48
Jesus said the citizens of the king
dom have nine characteristics. They
ar; poor in spirit; capable of being
sorry for sin and
wherever they find it; meek; eager
for righteousness; merciful; pure in
heart; peacemakers; persecuted;
and so confident o.' the goodness of
God that they can rejoice at the
jibes and reproaches of therr fel
lows:
Such people are salt, keeping the
,ife of the world from growing put
rid and bringing out the latent fla
vors of heart and mind in their fel
lows. They are also lights, shining I
like stars in a dark and wicked

Indifference to the praise of men
is the first thing Christ requires of
any disciple. Jesus illustrated this in
the matter of giving alms. The

good who wishes only to help a fel

Dear Belmont:
You are naturally interested in
something that will protect your
loved ones from death or injury. If
our present rate of traffic fatalities
is not reduced, one ln every 20 driv
ers will be killed or injured in auto
mobile accidents and one in every 3
ohiidren under 18 will be in a serious
accident.
Our enforcement program has
reached over 12,000 drivers and more
than 50,000 have been warned of in
advertent violations. In spite of this
an average of 13 deaths and 400 in
juries are listed on Georgia streets
and highways eech week. Only about
6 per cent of the drivers in these
horrible accidents have been warned,
arrested, or involved in a reported
accident prior to the death or in
jury. This means that you and the
other civic leaders ol every com
munity must help build public in
terest in the causes of fatal acci
dents if we are to make substantial
and lasting reductions in Georgia
deaths and injuries.
If you can enlist tho support of
other civic leaders and drivers in
crusade it will result in the sav-!
ing of human life and prevention of
Enclosed is a summary of
