Mas- Business Men Have Writer's Cramp To read that the United States is attempting to simplify systems under which individuals and business concerns had to renderJLa5,500,000 returns and reports to the federal goy ernment last year brings a mixed reaction. ' First, there is faint pleasure that something is being done about it. And second there is chagrin that we have ' allowed ourselves to be overwhelmed in such a mass of bookkeeping. ' ... ' Many a business man can tell you these days of special clerks hired and of the increasing amount of time of regular employes and himself devoted to answering questionnaires, filling out reports, and mailing both to Washington. It is --rrserious handicap to the conduct of business. .1. u N Manv times Americans have laughed at the methods on the German dictatorship wherein 60 to 80 forms have to be filled out to consummate an ordinary business transaction. 1 .Many times they have laughed at Russian Communist red tape which so ensnarls executives that they darevnot make 1 the slightest administrative move without, an endless correspondence cor-respondence with Moscow. Are we getting ourselves in the same boat? If there is r any chance of it, we'd better get out quickly while there is still time. One of the outstanding advantages which a system of free enterpise has over any kind of a socialistic setup is the lack of centralized control, the ability of individual managers and executives to make decisions, right or wrong, on the spot without clearing them through a central point. With all the faults of free enterprise, this advantage is a real one. It makes for flexibility, speed, efficiency. It is difficult, however, to see how any socialistic system (or any totalitarian system) can help being largely centralized. central-ized. The -sheer inability of any central clearing point to funnel through itself the mass of decisions necessary to the day's work of a great country is one of the most valid ob-, ob-, jections to socialism. But to ffave the disadvantages of centralization without the other advantages claimed for socialism, is folly. Every scrap of this red tape that can possibly be snipped away without sacrificing objectives that have properly found a glace in the central government, ought to be sheared off without de'lay. JLook Out Belowl Jittery citizens of the globe must expect another scare session in July. On the 27th of that month Mars is scheduled to approach the earth to furnish the astronomical attraction of the year. Don't start selling your household belonging, however, for Ihe planet will still be at a distance of 30,030,000 miles. The mere fact that science can now accurately' forecast such phenomena and describe their effects should put to rout all fears over Martian invasion or any other such nonsense. If a planet, militarized with monsters-ever hurtles into the earth, astronomers will certainly know about it beforehand 'and issue a waning. Still some July guy will probably theorize that a Martian chieftain heard last year's broadcast and is sending his nation na-tion down to fulfill the prophecy. FORUM 'n Agin 'Em Cooperative Spirit Should BejPosterqd Editor, Herald: A few weeks ago the newspapers news-papers were warm with the new spirit of repentance shown by the Tion-cooperators who had now, through the mouth of the Na tional Association of .

A , wholesome and complete regeneration was at hand. To date however, no other mention has been made, or signs shown of the furtherance of this resolve, and, in consequence, the oublic feels itself being, moved back to its former position of discomfort at the wanton derelictions dere-lictions of the stoutly, though not a little stupidly 'conservative' ones. We, the onlooking public, do not need to ask ourselves at this late hour, which of the two sides government and business ls right. For not only is it the sworn purpose of the administration adminis-tration to right many social wrongs, and raise the humbler citizens 'quota' of equity, but we also perceive when in a given case, the obstructionists are not wholly successful that the attempted at-tempted remedies have considerable consider-able virtue. Likewise, we are more than a trifle suspicious that the opponents' determined and often unreasonable opposition gives added proof of the merits of the acts as formulated. It is obvious that a measure too weak to accomplish the end sought by its authors, would not meet with violent obstruction from those who are instictively opposed to altering the present social equation. equa-tion. In effect, this is true alike in business practice and in legislative legis-lative halls. Is it not encumbent upon us to "stick to our guns" and resolutely reso-lutely declare that legislation, created out of our better impulses, im-pulses, was. and still is the spoken wish of the people, and that, as such, it is the voice to which the banker and the business man must give ear? Much less must we falter at the threshold of a worthy decision, and jitteringly think to yield .a weak 'yes' when the spoiled ones storm at the enforcing of fair and proper reg- ulation ?

My only contact with the name had been in the public prints, wherein, occasionally, I have seen mention of a great catch of pilchard in the north Pacific by small boat fleets fishing fish-ing for reduction plants, fertilizer fertili-zer factories, on shore. The sardine I have known intimately, in-timately, as has nearly everyone else. But I hadn't related him to the pilchard. There are fishes, I knew, that hold a pretty low rating as provender for human consumption. Suckers, lamprey eels, ling cod I had rated the pilchard In about the same bracket. brack-et. So I was somewhat surprised when, marching down the aisle in a help-yourseU grocery store, I saw a big stack of flat cans labeled "pilchard" right at my elbow. Willing to try anything once, I basketed a can and the, next day opened It for lunch. It was filet of pilchard, there was not a bone in it. The can held half a pound of light, firm meat that was of as fine flavor and texture as any variety could be. There was one slight drawback. draw-back. The skin had been left on the fish, and a few dark streaks caused by the blue, mackerellike mackerel-like substance ran thru the can. "But what," I asked myself, "do you expect for a dime?" Speaking aloud, I said to my luncheon partner: "If prepared a little more carefully, canned pilchard would rank right along with the best brands of canned salmon and canned tuna and that means it would be one of the finest, tastiest foods possible to prepare in mass production." Now to get back to the point where my pilcnard- education really began: to the use of pilchard pil-chard for fertilizer. Thousands and thousands of tons of this fine fish are taken from the Pacific Pa-cific each year to be ground into fertilizer. There can be no doubt that the larger food fish, the salmon, the tuna, the albacore, feed on the Pilchard.
