WASHINGTON.—The other day
r u m o r s b e g a n to s p r e a d a r o u n d the
capital t h a t the United S t a t e s h a d
d e c l a r e d a w a r t h a t nobody k n e w
anything about—a w a r m a r k e d " p r i vate a n d c o n f i d e n t i a l , " the kind t h a t
nobody m u s t t a l k about.
So e v e r y b o d y talked about it. At
cocktail p a r t i e s , in the P r e s s club,
in the c o r r i d o r s of the s o l e m n buildings with the " c l o s e d d o o r s . " You
h a v e h e a r d of t h e m — t h e closed
doors behind which all the r e a l
things h a p p e n t h a t a r c not s uppos ed
to.
F i n a l l y , since this w a s a highly
p r i v a t e a n d confidential m a t t e r it
soon got into the p a p e r s , labeled
" e c o n o m i c w a r . " I m m e d i a t e l y the
idea w a s roundly denied, d i s p a r aged, a n d g e n e r a l l y a b u s e d .
So I s t a r t e d out to try to locate
it. T h e r e w a s s m o k e . W h e r e w a s
the fire?
Since economic w a r f a r e is dollar
w a r f a r e , I went to see the m a n who
h a s a whole a r s e n a l full of d o l l a r s
which could be used a s a m m u n i t i o n
in such a b a t t l e , n a m e l y , J e s s e
J o n e s , f e d e r a l loan a d m i n i s t r a t o r
a n d s e c r e t a r y of c o m m e r c e .
I found h i m in his office. T h e
tall,
good-natured,
hard-working
Texas multi-millionaire was friendly, helpful, s y m p a t h e t i c , a s he alw a y s is. But w h a t he did not say
about e c o n o m i c w a r f a r e would h a v e
filled a v o l u m e .
Visits L e a d i n g E c o n o m i s t .
So I went to a n o t h e r m a n , who if
such a w a r is going on right now is
sitting on t h e b o a r d of s t r a t e g y . I
m u s t not m e n t i o n his n a m e , but he
knows the t e r r a i n p e r f e c t l y . He h a s
been all over the ground which, I
m i g h t m e n t i o n h e r e is South A m e r ica. H e h a s s e r v e d a s a governm e n t r e p r e s e n t a t i v e a n d a s a busin e s s r e p r e s e n t a t i v e , and in other
c a p a c i t i e s which I c a n n o t c a t a l o g u e
without identifying h i m .
" E c o n o m i c w a r f a r e , " he said, " i s
impossible, without w a r . "
W h a t he did not s a y w a s t h a t und e c l a r e d e c o n o m i c w a r f a r e is impossible without w a r t i m e conditions,
and right now, we s e e m to h a v e
enough of those to m a k e possible
s o m e e a r l y s k i r m i s h e s . This is the
situation a s it w a s " u n - r e v e a l e d " to
m e (officially) by a c e r t a i n official.
In the first place, e x p e r t s h e r e
a r e convinced t h a t even if he t a k e s
A f r i c a , H i t l e r c a n n o t f e e d and clothe
G e r m a n y a n d its a c q u i r e d d o m a i n
without a s t r o n g t r a d e foothold in
South A m e r i c a .
As one G e r m a n economist r e c e n t ly put it to a f o r m e r A m e r i c a n r e p r e s e n t a t i v e in B e r l i n :
" S o u t h A m e r i c a is a n a t u r a l comp l e m e n t for the e x p a n s i o n of industrialized G e r m a n y in the field of foreign t r a d e . "
A f r i c a h a s r a w m a t e r i a l s but it
will t a k e a long t i m e to exploit t h e m .
The N a z i s c a n n o t w a i t . H e n c e , South
A m e r i c a b e c o m e s the goal of t h e i r
triple t h r e a t : e c o n o m i c , political a n d
military.
Now w h a t a r e we going to do
about it?
T h r e e Methods Open.
T h e r e a r e t h r e e m e t h o d s which the
United S t a t e s c a n u s e to k e e p the
t o t a l i t a r i a n b u s i n e s s m e n , the totalit a r i a n t r a d e m e t h o d s , the t o t a l i t a r i a n politics out of the W e s t e r n world.
We c a n d e a l with South A m e r i c a
by m e a n s o f :
1. V o l u n t a r y co-operation.
2. E n t i c e m e n t .
3. P r e s s u r e .
N u m b e r I is not w a r f a r e . Nor is
it the old-fashioned " d o l l a r - d i p l o m a c y " which exploited South and Cent r a l A m e r i c a n c o u n t r i e s for the good
of the few and m a d e us h a t e d a s
the Colossus of the North. It is,
h o w e v e r , " d o l l a r s P L U S diplomacy."
This m e t h o d is a l r e a d y at work.
It c o n s i s t s of loans to South A m e r i c a ; c u l t u r a l activities and good will
p r o p a g a n d a , genuine co-operation
in finding c o m p l e m e n t a r y outlets
which will e n c o u r a g e a north-andsouth flow of goods.
When we c o m e to n u m b e r 2, we
m u s t be v e r y c a r e f u l . This method
will n e v e r be m e n t i o n e d in any
official s t a t e m e n t . We h a v e to fight
fire with fire, or to be m o r e literal,
fight m a r k s with dollars.
In plain u n v a r n i s h e d l a n g u a g e , a
l a r g e p a r t of m e t h o d 2 is " g r a f t . "
You slip a few weU-chosen " g i f t s "
into the r i g h t p a l m s . It is not nice
but a f t e r all we a r e talking about
w a r - t i m e conditions a n d it is f a r nic-

golden bullet t h a n with a steel-jacketed one.
Method n u m b e r 3 is also unpleasa n t . but still it is f a r this side of
" s h o o t i n g " in the l i t e r a l sense. It
is. to give one e x a m p l e , r e f u s i n g

This in a v e r y s m a l l nut-shell is
e c o n o m i c w a r f a r e , and if it w e r e
not still m a r k e d " p r i v a t e a n d confid e n t i a l " I'd tell you t h a t it h a s already started.

"A pony will be a dollar, s i r . "
T h e voice t h a t spoke w a s soft, ing r a t i a t i n g , with a foreign a c c e n t .
He s e e m e d a little s u r p r i s e d at the
price. So w a s I. F o r the " p o n y "

g e n t l e m a n who h a d p u r c h a s e d the
pony rose b e a m i n g .
"Well, how a r e you g e n e r a l ? "
h e said.
F o r j u s t a second t h e r e w a s a
blank look on the g e n e r a l ' s f a c e .
He put out his h a n d a n d said with
all the w a r m t h of a good politician:
"Well, weU, well, how a r e you,
M r . J o n e s , a n d h o w ' s the m i s s u s ? "
Jones beamed again, mumbled
a n d s a t down satisfied.
He h a d
been g r e e t e d by one of t h e g r e a t .
Not, h o w e v e r , by a high officer of
the a r m y a s the title he used m i g h t
indicate, but a f o r m e r c a b i n e t m e m ber.
J u s t then a h e a d w a i t e r a n s w e r e d
the phone at t h e dining room ent r a n c e . " Y e s , " he said, in a voice
quite audible, " t a b l e sixteen for M r .
Rockefeller."
A g r o u p of ladies tried not to look
i m p r e s s e d a n d w e r e so loudly silent
t h a t I could not help noticing t h e m .
One w a s a little bit m o r e h u m a n
t h a n the o t h e r s . She w o r e a p e r f e c t
red h a t a n d a little less cond e s c e n d i n g air.
" B u t c o u l d n ' t this d e f e n s e prog r a m h a v e been m u c h b e t t e r prep a r e d f o r ? " a s k e d a b e a u t i f u l child
of 20.
The Red Hat smiled.
" O h , p e r h a p s , " she a n s w e r e d ,
" b u t t h i n g s a r e going r a t h e r well.
Of c o u r s e so m a n y of m y husb a n d ' s f r i e n d s c o m e down h e r e to

T h e o t h e r s w e r e obviously too
polite to a s k w h a t kind of socialistic
thing a priority w a s or w h e t h e r it

t h e i r h u s b a n d s w e r e only milliona i r e s . M r s . R e d H a t w a s obviously
the wife of a d o l l a r - a - y e a r m a n .
I left this colorful c o r n e r of the

AILING H O U S E
by Roger B. Whitman

<© R o g e r B. Whitman—WNU Scrvlce.)
Crust on Bricks
UESTION: In our new house tht.
foundation is red bricks, backed
with concrete. We have recently
noticed a gray-white coating on the
bricks. The bricks are also spotted |
with cement and paint. How can we I
bring out the color of the bricks
without injury?
Answer: The gray-white coating
is the coming to the surface of mineral salts in the mortar brought'out
by rain. Eventually all of the salt
will come to the surface and will
disappear. Washing the wall with a
mixture of 1 part muriatic acid in
20 parts of water will take off the
coating and the spots of paint; it
will also soften the hardened cement, which can then be scraped
off. Pour the acid slowly into the
water and use a wooden or earthenware container.
The acid wash
should be quickly followed by rinsing with plenty of clear water. The
acid being corrosive, you should
wear rubber gloves and old clothes
and shoes.
Cleaning Gilt F r a m e s
Question: Gilt picture f r a m e s are
badly blackened. Could I do a satisfactory job of regilding? How?
Answer: The blackening m a y be
no more than dirt. Try cleaning
with a half-and-half mixture of denatured alcohol and household ammonia, applied with a c a m e l ' s hair
brush. After a few minutes, using
the s a m e brush, go over the f r a m e
with clear water to take off loosened dirt. Do not rub. If the gilding is actually damaged, it is better
to have the f r a m e s regilded professionally than to attempt to do
the job yourself, for it requires experience. You might be able to
patch small places with the kind of
liquid gilding to be had at an a r t
store.
Stopped-up Leaders
Question: Our copper leaders are
stopped up, presumably with leaves.
They are connected with cast-iron
pipe drains in the cellar. Is there
any solvent I could use, or have you
any other suggestions for clearing
the pipes?
Answer: If the leaves are clogging the cast-iron drain, you m a y
be able to dissolve them by pouring down a solution of lye. Be very
careful when handling this chemical. This solution should be allowed
to stand for several hours. Do not
pour the lye into the copper leader;
disconnect it. Should this fail, you
will have to get a plumber with the
proper equipment to clear the pipe.
Chipped Porcelain
Question: I had the misfortune to
chip quite a large piece of porcelain from a shelf on my new stove.
I have tried repainting it, but the
white paint turned yellow and then
peeled off. How can I touch it up
so that it will look right?
Answer; There is no process by
which chipped porcelain can be repaired. The porcelain is applied at
the factory under very high heat,
which of course cannot be duplicated at home. However, the people
who sold you the stove can obtain
a new shelf for you at no great expense, and it can easily be put on.
You will find this more satisfactory
than any attempt at patching.
Removing Wallpaper
Question: How can I remove wallpaper from a room that I want to
use for a kitchen? If the plaster
needs repairing before being painted, how can I do it?
Answer: Take off the wallpaper
by soaking with water until the paste
has softened. Go over the paper
again and again until the water has
struck through. If the paper sticks,
use a broad putty knife. After drying, go over the wall with sandpaper
wrapped around a block of wood to
take off hardened crumbs and fragments. For cracks and holes in
the plaster, use patching plaster,
which you can get at a h a r d w a r e or
paint store. Full directions for use
are on the label.
Storing Books
Question: I want to pack for storage some good books. If they are
wrapped in newspaper and packed
in wood boxes, will that be enough?
Answer: If the boxes are to be
stored in a dry place the only additional protection would be to scatter
handfuls of moth crystals in each
one to guard against possible book
lice and silverfish. Do not, on any
account, store the books in a cellar,
even if it appears to be dry.
Slamming Doors
Question: I live in a large apartment house, and a m constantly disturbed by the noise of slamming
doors m the a p a r t m e n t s above and
below mine. What can the landlord do to stop this nuisance?
Answer: Hardened door-slammers
are difficult people to reform. Your
only hope for peace and quiet is in
door checks.

The young m a n brought his car
to a stop in front of the theater. He
turned to the girl seated at his side.
"Well, honey," he said, " I ' v e got
ten bucks. What shall we do: Get
a m a r r i a g e license and settle down
—or go in and see this show?"
The girl appeared undecided. She
got out of the c a r and studied the
attraction advertised in front of the
theater. Finally she returned to her
boy friend.
"No Mickey Mouse," she sighed.

CARD O F T H A N K S
To t h e minister. Rev. Lloyd Mead,
and all of o u r d e a r f r i e n d s and neighbore, who p r o f f e r e d s y m p a t h y and
kindness in any way d u r i n g the d a r k
hours when our beloved d a u g h t e r and
sister, Mrs. Bessie G. Marshall,
passed a w a y , also f o r the b e a u t i f u l
f l o r a l o f f e r i n g s , we express our sincere h e a r t f e l t t h a n k s .
Mrs. I.Mary E. M a t s on,
•Mrs. W. A. Woodbury,
Mr. F r a n c i s L. Matson.
E are all familiar with the statement. " W h e n they are at Rome,
they do there as they see done."
In other w o r d s , follow the custom of
the land in which you are living. T h e
w r i t e r r e m e m b e r s very vividly stepping out of an u n d e r g r o u n d train in
a London station and making h e r w a y
to the street, greatly impeded by the
oncoming rush of people. When she
reached the street, she realized suddenly what was w r o n g . She had
been holding to the right side of the
passage as one does in America,
when all the time she should have
been keeping to the left. She knew
the law, but f o r the moment forgot
to make use of it. Much c o n f u s i o n
and d i s c o m f o r t could have been
avoided by w a l k i n g with Londoners
while she w a s in London.
In his letter to the Galatians, Paul
w r i t e s (5:25), "If we live in the Spirit,
let us also walk in the Spirit." . . . T h e
w o r d s , "If we live in the Spirit,"
imply that w e actually do live there.
Let us then obey the laws of Spirit;
let us prove that we are the children
of Spirit, God. T h e opposite of Spirit
is m a t t e r ; t h e r e f o r e w e do not live
in matter. Why. then, should we fear
o r obey the so-called laws of m a t t e r ?
Living in the realm of Spirit, we find
the way to walk in the Spirit.
To "walk in the S p i r i t " means to
walk in the light of spiritual understanding, to follow the leadings of
T r u t h . It m e a n s to avoid human will
a n d let God direct our ways. We
need to be receptive to the truth, allow God's plan to unfold in o u r consciousness, taking one step at a time.
Even as the children of Israel w e r e
guided by a pillar of cloud by day
a n d of fire by night, so shall we be
guided in all o u r activities. We may
be tempted to follow the broad highw a y of materiality w i t h its false appetites, pleasures, a n d pains, o r to
w a n d e r away into one of the m a n y
intriguing by-ways that lead to sin,
disease, unhappiness. and death. If
w e are wise, w e shall stay close to

the straight and n a r r o w path, keeping o u r eyes a l w a y s on the goal of
spiritual u n d e r s t a n d i n g , for this path
leads to health, holiness, and joy unspeakable. . . .
The l a w of Spirit is the law of
Life. Christ J e s u s knew the Mosaic
Decalogue, w h i c h was divinely revealed to Moses, and obeyed it, as
evidenced by his w o r d s and works,
r t c o r d c d in the New T e s t a m e n t .
When asked w h i c h was the greatest
of all the c o m m a n d m e n t s , o u r Master
replied (Mark 12:29-31): "The Lord
our God is one Lord: and thou shall
love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and w i t h all thy soul, and
with all thy mind, and w i t h all thy
s t r e n g t h : this is the first c o m m a n d ment. And the second is like, namely
this. Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself. T h e r e is none other comm a n d m e n t greater than these."
In r e f e r r i n g to the First Commandment. Mary Baker Eddy w r i t e s (Science and Health w i t h Key to the
Scriptures, p. 340): . . . T h e divine
Principle of the First Commandment
bases the Science of being, by w h i c h
man d e m o n s t r a t e s health, holiness,
and life eternal. One infinite God,
good, unifies men and n a t i o n s ; constitutes the b r o t h e r h o o d of m a n ;
ends w a r s ; fulfils the S c r i p t u r e , ' L o v e
thy neighbor ns thyself;' annihilates
pagan and Christian i d o l a t r y , —
w h a t e v e r Is w r o n g In social, civil,
criminal, political, and r e l i g i o u s
codes; cqualires the sexes; annuls
the curse on m a n , and leaves nothing that can sin, sulTer, be punished
or destroyed."
T o know the " o n e infinite God,
good," is the need of the world today. We must obey the law of Spirit
or we shall find ourselves trampled
upon by oncoming e r r o n e o u s beliefs
— beliefs of hatred, envy, revenge,
poverty, sufTering, bloodshed, and
violence. It is not enough to k n o w
about the law of God. We must
u n d e r s t a n d it and make use of it in
all o u r thinking and living. — The
