Tupper merchants, catching the spirit of the thing, are decorating thai* shops and display windows In Christmas finery, and even the weather is co-operating, this week's heavy snowfall presaging an ofd-fasblooed winter. Good news to younger residents of the village is' tie start made in the direction of developing a public skating rink her* again this winter, an account of which will be found else- weere In this Issue.

DBCLDnCD WITH THANKS - It Is a favorite statement or rather complaint of our - in- ternationalists nowaday!, in lamenting the fact that Uncle\ Sam 1* not up to his neck in European and Asiatic aCUra, to say that the United State* has lost \world leadership.\ Formerly the plan of the Internationalists was to get us into the League of Nations or the World jCtourt. Fortunately the Sesmte was too in- telligent for them, and the miserable fiasco of the League in the «n snd Msjichurisji crises put the *«i^«tng touches on the campaign to get us into one of Europe's. political- organ- But now seems to be an opportune time to the Interna- tionalist* to state .that Uncle Sam has lost world leadership and ought to assume the task of preserving; the \status euo\ of the universe. To understand this contention one has only to inquire «a to what the Internationalists want its' to do in •—liming \world leadership.\ The answer Is easy to find. They want Uncle Sam te take possession of the ball and to start a campaign of *anc- tians against the Japs who now seem to be marching almost at wiH through China. - ; Of course the internationalists profess to be sorry for the peer Chinese, but their principal desire i* to pull British chestnuts out of UM Oriental fire. European interest^ In China, endangered by the Japa, are tan times ae great as ova* Yet oar Intettta- ttqftsjlf .want aa to fcntt tot» the trouW ' lnvtstmeai* /*. We a«me ft JtJWkftfr •*•* nm.

In ease sanctions against Japan, led hy . grew tnta war, It is the common people who would he»e to do the fighting .and dying, not the internationalists, moat ef whom arc too old to flgfct - The only time within the memory of man when Uncle 8am assumed \world leadership\ was when he entered the World \War. At that time he got a lot of praise from the allies, who were only \kidding\ him Into thinking he had assumed \world leader- ship,\ as subsequent events clearly proved. When Uncle Sam as- sustea \world leadership\ in diplomacy he always \leads with hts chin.\ It Is only when he , gets down to actual warfare that he la really good. The reason is that the inUrnatlonallsta do the diplomatic shadow boxing while the real American people have to do the fighting. GOOD ADVICE TO CONGRESS A doaen leading economist* recently presented to the special sasalon ef Congress a four-point formula for ending the slump in business activity. The gist of It was, according to an Associated Press report, \Do .something to encourage business.\ The four points included: Aboasttment of Use tax on undistributed profit*; revision or abottah- ment of the'tax on capital gains; ending.of government competi- tion- withjnusiness; the bolstering of confidence by definitely In- dicat])«Kn Intention to balance the budget aa ' soon as possible and q^etycal. • Among the economists were such recognised authorities as 'Friday, Professor Irving Fisher, Colonel Leonard Ayres, B. M. Anderson r and Paul Douglas. In addition, members of the group advocated co-operation between labor and business on wages, prices and employment, and a properly conducted housing drive. All -agreed with the statement of Mr. Friday when he said: \There la need of some definite, dramatic action to show that government promises of helping business are more than just a lot of talk.\ Congress ha* been holding open season on business. In- dustry hair been sniped at from all quarters. It has been reviled, denounced and saddled with an unprecedented weight of punitive laws. The Inevitable results are seen today: worried investors, discouraged managements, retrenchment of capital—all culminat- ing Ik a major business recession. Continuance of this tread must inevitably turn the recession Into a depression. The four actions the economist* list would go a long way toward bringing- back lost confidence. They would Instantly, en- courage the spending of money, the building of plants, the ex- pansion of inventories, and the employment of men and women. Congress never got better advice.—Industrial News Review. WALLY SIMPSON AGAIN There is great interest abroad in the fact that that monu- mental volume, the British \Who's Who\ for 1938, condescends to mention Wally Simpson, with this brief notice: \Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David (Duke of Windsor), 23 June, 1894. Succeeded his father, King George V, 20 January, 1938: abdicated 11 December, 1938. Married 3 June, 1937, Mrs. Wallls Warfleld.\ r Some of the British newspaper correspondents are said to feel that \Who's Who\ editors have the wrong perspective and that the paragraph should have been written like this; ' \Mrs. Wallis Simpson. Belle of Baltimore who took the British family like Grant took Richmond. After turning the , British Empire»upside down' she turned the reigning mon- arch inside out; then Edward (Duke of Windsor) and she were married. Their American housing Investigation poat- • potted until 1938, President Roosevelt plnch-hittlng for them In 1937.\ But, whatever the perspective of the British \Who's Who 1 may be with respect to royalty, its perspective on other things Is perfect. For Instance, Hitler gets five lines, Stalin four and Mus- solini thirty-two, but our friend Dr, Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University gets one hundred and forty four!
