LAW OF THE JUNGLE
When the history of this war is
written, there should be one long
chapter devoted entirely to the de-I
struction, not of human beings or of I
property, but of human institutions.
It was begun by Hitler some five ]
years ago and was completed by the]
Japs several days ago. Now practi-,
cally nothing remains of the few de-
cen conventions which war or pro-'
parations for war allow.
Hitler began his by making viola-
tion of his personal word a policy of
aggression. He lulled his intended vzc-
rims with assurances of security and
glowing promises of the rewards of

long ago a $3 billion Federal deficit
was staggering. Today the banks
of this country are helping the gov-
ernment to underwrite deficits run-
ning into scores of billions. There
is no alternative.
But while the banks and the gov-
ernment talk in hundreds of billions
of dollars in a way that chills the
marrow, we can take comfort in one
fact. The banking industry is still
owned and operated by vrivate citi-
zens. As long as it remains so.

although in too many cases they
served his purposes.
When hostilities began, with Ger-
many's unprovoked invasion of Poland
it was soon apparent that two fun-
damentals of international war were
done for. One was the freedom of
the seas. Hitler was not exactly ori-
ginal in this, for the kaiser had
shown the way twenty-five years be-
fore. But the German dictator
brought the technique to perfection,
not only preying on neutral shipping
but machine-gunning survivors cow-
ering in open boats or swimming in
the sea.
The other was even worse. Hitler
The early oliday shoppers will
get all the breaks this year. Stocks
of goods are limited by the inability
of many merchants to obtain new
supplies.
Virtually every store has a small-
er sales force than ie had a year
ago and recruiting holiday season
clerks is going to be difficult. De-
livery and wrapping service has
been curtailed ,by govermnen, t or-
ders. Postal officials are pleading
for-early mailing to avoid a rush
that will swamp their facilities.
None of the conditions that pre-
vail as another intensive buying
season impends can be controlled
by any merchant no matter ho-
hard he may strive to maintain nor-
mal service. The stores will do
their utmost to meet public needs.
Money is plentiful among the lower
income groups and the demand for
holiday merchandise will be greater
than last year. But there is a limit
which is fixed by war conditions.
Prudent shoppers will undermd.
If they act promptly they will be
able to have a wide selection, they
can shop in comfort and their pur-
chases will be delivered in ample
time. In cooperating with an early
buying movement they will help
themselves more than anybody else.

by utilizing all the deadly power of

effectively by rooting up whole pop-
