Strongest Fiber The strongest fiber In the world is olona, Touchardia latifolia, grown only in the Hawaiian is-lands, says Colliers. Owing to its remarkable durability and a ten-sile strength of about eight times that of hemp, fishing nets made of olona are so tough that they are passed on to and are used by gen-eration after generation.

I haven't heard it, but sev-eral letters and telegrams inform me that a conspicuous radio news commentator is warning the public to "watch carefully" members of the keep-out-of-w-ar committees be-cause they are "appeasers' and "are trying to make us afraid." Gen. Bob Wood, who was honored by congress for his work in helping to build the Panama canal, and brought back from an important post in France in the AEF to spark the American war production ef-forts as quartermaster general, is being put on the pan. Col. Charles Lindbergh, who brought home the greatest honors American aviation ever knew, and who first jolted American and British" complacency by revealing the tremendous hidden powers of German air armament. Is now under the wand of the profes-sional witch finders. Even his love-ly, fearless quietly philosophical wife has taken a dirty dig or two from such professional breast-beatin- g Boadicea's as Dorothy Thomp-son. What goes on here? Most of the people who want to dress up Uncle Sam as something more canny than his old role as the world's prize fat boy with the bag of candy in a world of Dead End urchins, were awake long before these tardy tom-to-beaters, witch doctors and Sioux Sun Dancers were even aware that there was a vast, sinister and growing danger in the world. Some of them had been hammer-ing at the inexcusable indolence of England, the equivocal horse trad-ing of France and. above all, the spineless inactivity of Amei ica, long before the "cloud no bigger than a man's hand" became a thunder-hea- d and began to belch lightning. All of them are, and have long been, for all-o- ut defense of this country. All are against hysterical dissipa-tion of it. Who speaks for America they or their half-craze- d critics? If they were so much more nearly right before, maybe they are more nearly right now, when they ques-tio- n whether we should rush head-long into a gun fight with our gun not even loaded and, as a first act, give away our guns. Our greatest lack right now is Will Rogers, who said: "America never lost a war or won a conference." We can wonder what he would say about "Let's take the silly fool dol-lar mark from aid to Britain." From how many billions have we taken the "silly fool dollar mark" for foreigners It would be hard to say. . We took them off from the bill we footed for the last World war to a present total, with interest of about 14 billions. see BIG FOUR The four-ma- n control of industrial mobilization, consisting of the sec-retaries of war and navy, Mr. Knud-sen and Mr. Hillman, may do some good, but it is not, as some have said, the equivalent of the War In-dustries board plan that worked in 1918 to provide the fastest ever recorded by a great na-tion. It violates an essential and basic principle of that plan. It takes nothing from experience. It is an experiment. There are four great and insistent demands in time of war. They are those of the army, the navy, the allies, if any, and greater than these and just as Important, the needs of civilian population. Heads of the .army and navy are under heavy re-sponsibilities for two of those needs. With the best intention in the world it is only human nature for them to grab and fight each for their own to seek in extreme cases even monopoly control of all the best sources and supplies of material, manufacturing, storage and trans-portation facilities, power and labor. That isn't a guess. That happened early in World War I, and continued to happen until it was stopped by the War Industries board. We are rushing into a program of produc-tion just as great. To have that, happen without any regulation is a very bad thing. It creates unneces-sary shortages to the great prejudice not only of all the people but the armament program itself. It unnec-essarily tangles and disrupts the whole industrial machine. It mul-tiplies cost, reduces speed and makes doubly difficult the eventual shift back to a peace economy. For that reason and many others, the director of mobilization should not have to work under the control of the army and navy as he must do if he is one of a committee of four in which a division of opinion would result either in a deadlock or a domination by the purchasing de-partments. v Our experience in the World war and the experience In every other country Indicates that the director of mobilization should be independ-ent of any statutory purchasing agencies. It is his part of the job to all purchasing pro-grams with each other to prevent confusion, delay, waste and loss; but that is only part of his job and not even the most important part The other part is to organ-ize, speed, aid and supervise the whole Industrial structure for max-imum efficiency and production.

"You," I said, and raised my hand, "I find quite hard to understand; How can you be my guiding light While slugging me with left and right?" "I am," he said, "a leader kind-Ex- cuse my wallops from behind The things I do are for the best-Ex- cuse my fist; it's just a test!" "Your logic isn't overclear," I said (then landed on my ear); "It's hard to think you such a lamb When underneath your feet I am." "I am." he said, "a leader kind If you can't see it you are blind; I want this world a sweeter place-Ex- cuse it if I bash your facet" "I somehow fail to follow you," I said, now very black and blue; "How can I see you as my hope? You're standing on my chin, you t dope." "You are," he said, "so very dense, It always gives me great offense; If I but run you up a tree STou question if it's best for thee." "It Isn't very clear," I said, "When you have knocked me nearly dead, That every new atrocity Is done to make it nice for me." ?

On the Tonawanda Seneca reser-vation in New York, the United States government made its 146th annual presentation of six yards of calico to each Indian in the Iroquois Confederation Saturday, keeping a treaty of 1794. A speaker glowingly reminded the Indians (and the as-sembled newsreel men and camera men) that the United States was keeping a faith which was "unique in a world of broken promises and enslaved people." Well, we get the idea, and It Is okay with us, but the Red Man was certainly entitled to a loud guffaw and nine giggles. It was old Peter Doctor, oldest of the Senecas, who got his point over. "The Indians were civilized with a veneer of savagery," he said, taking his calico and wondering what to do with the darned stuff. "Over there white men have turned to savagery with a veneer of civilization." SPEAKING OF DESTRUCTION Neither Vandal, Hun, or Goth Holds a candle To a moth. Richard Armour.
