news published herein der difficulties to be Offered by a Representative Four of the most sensible and consistent suggestions made to Utah lawmakers up to date in view of wartime -- conditions and the consequential need of economy were offered by Representative Kerr of Box Elder county last Wednesday They may be condensed and understood as follows 1—Introduce few bills limiting the number to economic needs 2—Give preference to measures pertaining to the war and ensuing peace 3—Limit the session to 30 days by longer hours more work and less talk 4—Cut out the junketing by sending small committees to inspect state institutions 4 In view of past performances it does ot seem likely that legislators will take very kindly to all these restrictions With the number of bills said to be in preparation added to those already introduced it does not seem that the war urgent need of economy or the adrnonitionof the gentleman from Box Elder will overcome a traditional tendency to revive rejected measures or to abandon pet proposals of persistent lobbyists And yet the house of representatives did definitely declare a ban on junkets something to be considered later by the senate which took this stand two years ago A 'resolution looking to adjournment sine die on the 20th of next month was tabled promptly ' Certain changes in existing laws should and probably will claim attentiv to the exclusion of new issues until such pending matters are disposed of in one way or another They pertain to the primary election system the public welfare and social security Policy the centralization of executive power in the finance commission the liability of motorists to persons riding in their cars the general plan of local defense during the war and the transfer of fundi essential to reducing state indebtedness Most other matters may be held in abeyance unless something can be done to facilitate the Utah lake controversy and curb loss of water by evaporation to encourage the growth of population and industries Thelegislature has made a good start and if both houses can work harmoniouthe next three weeks it may sly-for be possible to set an example in economy and efficiency beneficial to other public bodies and to future assemblies of lawmakers The Salt Lake Tribune wishes the members every success Famous Englishu omen Address Salt Lake Audiences It is gratifying to the people of Utah and Salt Lake City to learn that Miss Kathleen Courtney of London chairman of the general purpose committee of the international assembly commission of her homeland and of the international subcommittee for training women in the work of social welfare has consented to deliver several addresses to students and to local chapters of professional and business clubs on the aims and achievements of similar organizations of women in Great Britain during the present world crisis Having been c6nnected with the League of Nations that fell apart when the United States refrained from participating in its efforts to promote the policy of arbitration as a substitute for the ancient court of combat and having had clarge of reconstruction work after the first World war in Corsica Greece and the Balkan states she is exceptionally well qualified to speak from observation and experience with reference to postwar problems to be solved by civilians She followed closely the visit of Mrs Mary Agnes Hamilton a former member of the English parliament who is touring this country to combat as she asserts "the insidious and powerful forces the axis has been utilizing both in molding the minds of its own young people and attempting to remodel the character of conquered peoples: while the English are determined that good must dominate the pattern of their society— Both these distinguished ladies are accustomed to raids and blackouts to the tumbling of walls and the destruction of cherished landmarks to privations and inconveniences in dodging bombs and livizg in crowded caves of safety in searchru:ns for dead friends and relatives In ministering to the ill and injured in giving aid and encouragement to armed defenders and fire fighters so their tidings are warnings and their undaunted eourage is an inspiration to all who see or hear them Both visitors told of the sacrifices made without repining of the taxes came without complaining of efforts un 11 self-sustaini- - Utah Doctor's Success In the Treatment of Burns - Not all the glorious accomplishments of war are achieved on the battlefield or on the bounding main Marching along with our soldiers and sailing with our sailors men of medical science are doing their share in the world conflict Their jobs are to save lives and mend bodies torn by shells or burned by explosions Among the many outstanding service men from Salt Lake a former doctor who is now Lieutenant Commander Ralph C Pendleton has won distinction for his work in treating burns suffered by sea fighters with a wax compound which is proclaimed to be particularly successful His technique has gained such favorable notice that civilian defense units on the Pacific coast have sought his advice in organizing methods to handle emergencies which may occur in bomb raids Commander Pendleton uses ordinary fly spray guns to spread his healing film over burned surfaces and has found that it not only hastens recovery of patients but relieves them of considerable pain The navy man modestly disclaims sole credit for the treatlnent which he says has evolved through the work of several medical researchers in the years prior to the present war However it is obvious that his work on sailors burned during the Pearl Harbor raid proved the practicability of the technique and his simplification of methods will go a great way in making It available for many both in and out of the military services Colonel Andrew Summers Rowan who carried President McKinley's message of cheer and cooperation to General Calixto Garcia commander of Cuban insurgents surrounded by Spanish soldiers cut off from communication and confined to the swampy thickets of Cuba has just passed away at the age of four score and five A native of Virginia and a graduate of West Point he volunteered to act as messenger when every step had to be taken in darkness and in defiance of death as the islanders might have shot him as a potential foe and the Spaniards would have captured him for execution as a spy had a single false movement betrayed him Through tangled jungles and tropical swamps past scouts and sentries craw)- ing and hiding but never faltering he carried the "Message to Garcia" immortalized by Elbert Hubbard's masterly tribute as a demonstration of patriotism and pertinacity of daring and discretion that should be an example to all soldiers and civilians able and willing to aid suffering and persecuted human beings Messenger Rowan returned to the United States saw Cuba liberated and served in the regular army until 1909 when he was retired while located at Fort Douglas near Salt Lake City He outlived General Garcia 45 years but his mission had been accomplished and his feat was recorded in many languages Perhaps he Is carrying another "Message to Garcia" New York Highlights By Charles B Driscoll NEW YORE—Some sort of Important conclusion probably can be drawn by psychologists from these facts and circumstances: In the last war there existed in New York and I suppose elsewhere such a mad prejudice against everything German that orchestras dared not play music composed by great German composers of the past Anybody with a German name was shunned Nobody would order German dishes at restaurants Teaching of German in the schools was stopped And so on all along the line Italy was on our side then and so was Japan Anything Italian or Jap was tops in New York It was stylish to affect Jap decorations in one's home or to be seen with clothing suggestive of Jap influence As for Italian things we went overboard for Italian art and Italian ways We even learned to consider garlic a delicious perfume Now we are at war again but the line-u- p Is different as it is bound to be in every war There is evident In New York life none of the exaggerated hatreds and prejudices that we knew in the last war if we except a certain grim attitude toward the Japs German and Italian restaurants flourish all over town even more than they did before Pearl Harbor They have not bad to change their names as many did durlpg the other war They serve their national dishes and nobody has ever suggested that snaghetti be changed to victory goo or liberty starch vyARN Total Preparation But In this war for the first time in our history the opposite view has been stressed at times It is a view which unfortunately has been borrowed along with centralized controls government from the Hitler (fas-- idea This is total war they say and they think it requires total suffering whereas all it really -required was total of oil supplies for preparationinstance The liberals in this country very shortsightedly borrowed too much from Hitler because he vas efficient in certain respects He was efficient for Germany a bankrupt nation (which had no oil incidentally) and having nothing he created some efficiency by equally distributing hardships in a very small nation accustomed to them That system has proved itself unpopular and inefficient in a rich country richer in oil than any other and accustomed to a much higher standard of living Here is the cause of our whole rationing trouble Centralized were worked out moderately in the early days of the new deal to the satisfaction of a majority (but a decreasing majority) when government was paying out to the people making awards through W P A A A A and otherwise to blocs and groups But now that the out has stopped a morepaying objective lesson about total government at home has been learned by the people who must now share scarcities under broad national rules which work individual injustices and hardships Job Must Be Done Everyone cart now see that a centralized government undertaking a managed national economy must also assume the responsibility for ample supplies and equitable distribution in a rich nation If central control does not provide it is a failure The result of this will no doubt cause experience this country to return to a respect of true democracy and the of individuals and states rights as opposed to the strong federal controls— total government The liberals will no doubt return as a result of our current experiences to ciat-commun- ist) - ' controls their former true Jeffersonian principles Thus the government mis- takes we are encountering will probably push this country back upon the right track from which it wandered during the ascendent influence of totalitarian controls in Europe and Asia But for the present it aeCIMS Impossible that our centralized controls in the ease of oil can furnish us with enough fuel Apparently it is too late to build enough pipelines or- tankers or tank cars to use the oil with which nature endowed us Attack SuZie in case or r:te 04 dis D e)3548gcfrate4i1 to

active inter' ention in the war was uncertain Spain played along with the axis Its leaders had no other-waout and by accepting the economic dictates of the reich hoped to keep the country out of the war The vast majority of Spanish leaders arst some 95 per cent of the population desired only orre thing—to avoid the horrors of another 'military campaign This sentiment took precedence over the great fearof a communist ' victory which exists today among the country's chieftains Lost Raw Materials The overbearing attitude of the raid "economic missions" irked those who were —in direct contact with them But Spain was so exhausted and starved and the salles appeared only a few months ago so powerless that there was no choice but to humor the axis representatives who stripped the country of most raw materials in exchange for questionable manufictured product& The policy of the United States and Britain in permitting a number of ships carrying essentials into Spanish ports was appreciated not only by the population but by most of the members of Generalissimo Franco's cabinet Since the American landing in Africa the situation has become more dynamic There was a small group of men

"Well I'vé just done the dishes and given the rest of the place a lick and a promise and am now at my desk without an idea in my noodle for a column I've been thinking about freedom of speech Are you in favor of it? I am with reservations Some of it's too darned free Like the other day when I met a young woman who is a writer of sorts She said "How do you do I read your column but there's one thing that's always puzzled me How do you get it printed?" Yesterday morning when my vvife's alarm clock went off I was awake Just aorta half awake matter of fact It was on account of my feet They were sticking out of the covers and an icy breeze was fanning them Wouldn't surprise me if I developed chilblains Didja ever have chilblains when you were a kid and the only way you could ston the itching was to go out in the snow barefoot? I didn't want to go through that again and besides there's no snow so I got up I got breakfast while the missus made the beds And did I have trouble? went wrong! The Everythng coffee boiled over and while I was attending to it the toast burned Then the skillet I was frying bacon and egg in caught fire! I yelled for help and the missus came in and took over and I took an aspirin and went back to bed If I'd been alone I'd have had a good cry I was that pent up Sometimes I get real comfort out of the thought that I'm not long' for this world Do you ever feel that way?
