One wonders 'why
...
>e muet have a
war for every {generation and why that
continent cannot remain at peace.
In Eur^e proper there are some 20 odd
natians, different nationalities, different
governments and different languages.
Their interests continually clash on every
hand.
The whole area is just about half as big
as the Di^ed States.
Contrast Europe with North America.
All the way from the Mexican border
near the tropics to the North pole is in
habited by Angl(>Saxons who speak one
language and generally have a correlated
sta'idard of civilization. There isn t a for-
tifiefl border and has not been in the whole
area. Except for the War Between the
States there has not been a conflict on the
entire continent of North America from
Mexico northward.
MONDAY, MAY
The Coming Crisis
Many in America today are pondering
the crisis this country would face in the
event of defeat of the Allies in the Euro-
pean War, which now appears possible if
not probable.
Those who have followed the trend of
world events for the past several years
know that Germany, Italy and Japan hate
democracies. Should England and PVance
fall the United States would be the only
great democracy and land of individual
freedom left on the face of the earth. It
is reasonable to conceive that the coalition
of the totalitarian nations would have de
signs against us and would probably try t
carry them out.
In defense of our own nation we must
necessarily defend the 21 republics of the
southern half of the American hemis
phere.
We are already having some trouble
with Japan, which could grow into some
thing worse and probably would if 'we
were threatened by Germany on the At
lantic.
This view of the situation is ca^se_fflt
American
nation to be prepared for any eventuality.
This country has a splendid navy but it
is not big enough for protection of Atlan
tic and Pacific coasts. Naval protection
means that our navy should be able to
meet and defeat any fleet on either ocean.
We have a good army but it is too small
and the equipment is not up to standards
of efficiency essential in modem warfare.
President Roosevelt on Thursday called
on congress for almost a billion dollars to
strengthen defenses. It is very probable
that before another year rolls bv that ano
ther billion will be needed. He asked that
America be made ready to produce 50,000
war planes yearly. In view of the work
.crisis that figure is not too large.
This is a peace loving country but it will
fight if threatened by foreign invasion.
Our freedom is a priceless heritage and if
necessary our people wik give their all to
.retain it just as did our forefathers to ob
tain it.
A Story In Silver
We don’t see many silver dollars any
more.
They used to have a good comforting
touch to the palm of the hand, and a
pocketfull of silver was a fine thing to
have. But silver dolars were kind of un
wifldy, and by common consent they
dropped out of fashion.
The other day, though, a Midwestern
company brought silver dollars back intc
circulation for a brief day of glory. I
paid its whole payroll in silver dollars, in
order to watch the way that the industria
piayroll circulated all through the com
munity.
The results were enlightening for all
concerned. As silver dollars passed across
store counters, from hand to hand and
pocketbood to pocketbook, the community
gained an entirely new conception of the
important part that the industrial dollar
plays in bringing prosperity and general
well-being into a town where a factory’s
located.
Whether the plant’s wages are paid in
silver or paper money, the money cir
culates \yifia)ir tTmi i a lot of good.
^Jnd when the example of a single town is
repeated and multiplied all over the coun
try, a new concept arises and a basic truth
is emphasized: In the community or the
nation aa a whole, when industry prospers
everyone prospers!

All Kinds Of Jobs
Industrial research has come in for a lot
of highly merited praise in recent years.
In the teeth of the severest depression this
country has ever known, it was heartening
to know that faith in the future was not
lost, and that industry was continuing its
search for new' products and a higher
standard of living.
Today, in better times, research con
tinues at an accelerating rate, with indus
try spending well over $200,000,000 an
nually to find new products or better
methods of making existing ones. We read
almost daily of new triumphs in this line—
and emphasis is usually placed on the new
and interesting and useful things that in
dustry is learning to make.
'There’s another angle, however, that’s
even more important. That’s the fact that
a lot of new jobs are created by research.
And a wide variety—Americans have the
widest and most varied choice of occupa
tion offered anywhere in the w’orld..
That latter point is dramatized in a re
port just issued by the Department of La
bor and called “Dictionary of Occupational
Titles.” This document lists 29,744 titles
for 17,452 different jobs, and it’s
impressive evidence of the fact that in this
country Americans are laboring at a tre
mendous variety of tasks, making an in
conceivable number of products, and in
general contributing to the highest
and
beeb standards of living in the whole, wide
Mforld.
What’s going to happen to American ag
riculture as a result of the wars going on
in Europe? Will cfl(tton go up? Here i.s
an opinion from W. C. Lassetter, editor of
The Progressive Farmer, just returned
from a national meeting of farm paper
editors in Washington:
“Great Britain is directing her trade t
countries where it will help her most,
namely her own dominions and to neutral
countries where it is important to main
tain good will, and she proposes to buy
only enough of agricultural products in
this country to keep good will from going
too sour. But the Allies are in need of u.s
as a .source of armament. And of course
you have seen in the daily news that it i
now proposed that if they' are to buy our
best in airplanes they must take other
things for which we are in need of a mar
ket.
“Another most serious factor is that
Great Britain is now attempting to limit the
shipment of goods to neutral countries
that might be in position to pass these
goods on to Central Europe. In this way
our trade gets cut down both ways.
“I always thought that war resulted in
the use of a lot more cotton in the manu
facture of explosive. We were warned
against expecting any such advantages for
coton on the ground that the increased use
of cotton for explosives is much more than
offset by the loss in domestic use in the
countries at war.
“It seemed to be the consensus that the
best policy to pursue is do everything with
in reason to hold on to our share of trade
with all countries, to maintain our trade
channels, avoid overexpansion in impor
tant lines, and avoid a crash similar to that
which followed the last war.”

Hitler has already “protected” the
Czechs and Poles, and looks like he intends
to “protect” the Norsemen and Swedes.
If he succeeds in “protecting” the British
and French he will probably say we need
“liberating” or “protecting” in America.
