(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) NATIONAL AFFAIRS Rtvitwtd by CARTER FIELD Congressmen Are Puz zled by the Political Pic ture . . . Administration Prepares for Post - W ar Problems . . . (Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.) WASHINGTON.—The average Re publican congressman is baffled, and the average Democratic member of the house (or senator who must face the voters in 1942) is bewildered as he contemplates the political picture. The political picture to him, of course, revolves around his own dis trict—or state if he is a senator. There are some important questions outside his district or state, natural ly, but it is the situation respecting the voters who will see HIS name on the ballot that is vital There are no landmarks to guide him—no historical experience on which to draw. Some of the old timers went through the 1916 and 1918 campaigns, and most of them remember them. But they are of little help. No one dreamed, at this time in 1915, that the presidential election of 1916 would turn on peace and war. Few realized, even by October of 1916, that most of the Eastern states would vote normally, and that most of the Western states would change on the "kept us out of war" issue. Right now—Just a year before the election, is the time most congress men begin to take stock so as to make sure of being retained in of fice. It may seem a bit early to the layman, but it isn’t a mite too soon. To be re-elected in November it is necessary for a member of the house to be renominated before that. His primary may come as early as March, though it may be as late as October. But for all of them the lines have to be made, the organi zation perfected, the proper work ers reserved, and the dangerous would-be opponents appeased, a LONG TIME before the primary. Otherwise the nation may suffer the loss of the services of the afore said congressman. This might not be very tragic to us onlookers in some Instances, but it is important to the statesman in question. Problem It Acute For Republican members from what might be called doubtful dis tricts the problem is acute. It is almost impossible to forecast what sentiment on arming ships, repeal ing the neutrality act, and actual war will be next spring, in primary time, and next fall, at election time. Bear in mind that it is of not the slightest value, so far as a guaran tee is concerned, what sentiment in any congressional district is NOW. If the congressman has a lopsided district, with a heavy majority for the sitting member’s party, then it becomes of the greatest importance what the sentiment will be at pri mary time. If it is a close district, as so many are, the relative value of election-time sentiment becomes more important. To illustrate that one must be a prophet, rather than a census tak er. Certain congressional districts went heavily for Wilson in 1916 on the "kept us out of war” issue, then voted heavily AGAINST their sitting members in 1918 because those members had voted to keep us out of war in April, 1917, and reversed themselves a third time in 1920 and 1922, by which time these particu lar districts were disgusted with everyone who had anything to do with getting us into the war! That can happen again. • • • Preparation for Post-War Period Without the slightest intention of minimizing the war effort, much se rious work is being done inside the administration, and in contact with manufacturers outside it, with re spect to the post-war problem. Meetings are being held every few days to study this problem. Busi ness is being warned by those in side its own ranks that private capi tal MUST provide Jobs in plenty, after the shooting stops, or else the government will take over. In brief, the “make work” cam paign of the New Deal after Presi dent Roosevelt was inaugurated, in 1933, when there was so much talk about raking leaves, will not be a patch on government spending to make Jobs after this war is over IF Jobs are badly needed. It is rather startling to contem plate how many Jobs will be needed when that time comes. In other words we are all looking forward eagerly to peace, but when it comes it will present the most baffling problems the American people have ever faced. For one thing, and there is no use kidding ourselves about this. There will be the returned soldiers. For there is going to be at least one huge expeditionary force (it proba bly will be small at first, but so it . was in the last war. when General 1 Pershing took a division to France. The war ended with 2,000,000 Amer . ican United States soldiers in France and 2.000,000 more under arms in the United States ready to go). Entirely New Principle# Employed in Coal Heater Will Heat All Day and All Night in Coldett Weather Without Refueling. ANY improvements in fur naces, both oil and coal burn ing types, have been reported in late years, but little change, until recently, has been noted in the coal heating stove, which still is depended upon in mil lions of homes for i warmth and comfort. A late development in this field has brought out an improved coal burning heater. It em ploys a radically new design in firebox and heating flues, advanced j ideas in combustion engineering ana ower improvements that result in great er heating efficiency, fuel econo my, and much less operating at tention. A desirable feature of this coal heater is that it may be loaded with 100 pounds of coal at one time. The coal, stored in the magazine, gradually feeds semi automatically of its own weight to the bottom firebed, the heat mak ing coke of the upper coal layers, when bituminous coal is used. The gases formed in this coking proc ess escape through newly designed flues in the firebox and are con sumed by the flames which travel up outside the fuel chamber. The coal burns to a fine ash. Because of its large fuel capac ity and the advanced construc tion principles employed, it will heat all day and all night in cold est weather without refueling. In mild weather this heater will hold fire for several days. All with very little attention. Users gen erally need to start a fire but once a season. Regulation of heat is governed by a simple adjustment of drafts. Because it holds fire so well and so long, the home where it is used is warm every morning. Because of this feature the stove has been named Warm Morning. One who has struggled on a cold morning to build a fire can well appreciate the significance of the name. Along with the standard models which hold 100 pounds of coal, there is a larger heater with nearly ?00 lb. coal capacity made especially for heating schools, churches, lodge halls and ware houses.—Adv.
