ANY given limb on a tree always remains at the same height above the ground, and as the tree grows it does not rise, since the part of the trunk to which it is attached does not do any rising. The same thing is true of nails driven Into a tree trunk or initials cut in the bark--they never get any higher above the ground, no matter how much the tree may grow at the top or even increase in diameter in the trunk.

Trained ob- Mirers, located hi areaa remote frojn the highly induatrialiBed Eastern seaboard, copaparfaff notes here this week reported a surprising indifference among the rank and file to war scares. Numerous factors, other than geographical. are vcopottafble for this trend of thinking. 11m constant talk in officialdom about the critical situation confronting us does not meet the response in the Middle West that is> accorded in regions along the Atlantic., Until such time as the large segments of the population located in these central areas difpiay the apprehension their national landers consider is justified bv events it is not likely that Uncle Sam's Warstick will be used for more than brandishing purposes. Of course, an ovfcrt aict Hiving s stronger dramatic appeal than the Robin Moor issue may supply a change of heart* overnight. While influential public officials are whooping it up around the networks about the gravity of world conditions, the reactions to their speeches are not; always flattering. It is not possible to catalogue all the developments which tend towaru skepticism among those not intimate^ associated with the de-» fense activities. The President's report a few days ago that only articles valued at seventy million dollars had been shipped under the broad powers of the Lend-Lease bill raised eyebrow* Congress authorised the expenditure of seven billions months ago of which slightly more than four billions has been allotted. Hesitancy to exercise vast powers to stimulate production of armament, resentment against coddling unions in defense plants and delay in cracking down on subversive elements are listed as factors cal culated to make the average citizen dubious about actual perils to th« country's welfare. Public opinion ex< perts say that the Administration had misconstrued obvious publle sympathy for the British to mean actual bellig^ erency. As a consequence, they may* find it difficult to muster proper Con gressional strength to support a mili tancy which goes beyond armament aid to Britain The British themselves are cognisant of this apathy as re tentljF special speakers have appeared! on our platforms to break down assumptions that no other aid is re-* quired or peace is st hand. Providing temporary homes for de-j. fense workers is a vital matter whichj j causes Federal agencies to ponder,f Preliminary surveys of housing facili-^ ties in localities where now defense, plants are established reveals a define ite scarcity of homes and rooms forg rent. The swollen population in theses areas presents questions of public; health and recreation for each com-^ munity. No effort is made to force* these workers to purchase homes because they then become anchored toil , a locality and if employment switche*- to some other place the worker tfc has a substantial investment fas ag house and can't move easily.
