But the economic blow that was dealt in the closing of oui tobacco markets offered m bold relief the seriousness of conditions sur rounding not only Europe but also the rest of the world. The blow advances us another step nearer war, and as 'other economic blows are felt it is quite likely that our people once aloof to any participation- program ""It hi- marly In join in the march against Hitler At one time the farmer who suffered a loss in the marketing of his crops had other resources to fail back on But the mortgage route has been run, and the chatties are bent. About the only_ course left to follow is toward the source ol trouble, and indirectly Hitler is chargeable with the bad conditions existing right here m our own little home territory One can talk about poisoned propaganda, but there is ho idle pro paganda behind the unrewarded toil of the far mer, his wife and children, the suffering and hardships that were theirs as they labored niglil and day to produce a crop lli&f v. ill be snatched from their hands because a erazv maniac starts a movement to dominate the world. Even before the markets were closed, farmers expressed a willingness to participate in a move ment to advance a strong economic support to Britain and France and Poland. Now as debts accumulate and the call of the creditor rings in their ears, the American farmers thoughts are returning nearer and nearer to war itself. Pos sibly the markets will reopen shortly, but the damage has been done. \rariT II nr I lion in I'JI I The man on the street points out tliat this country is nearer wai today than it was in 1914. that while he does not want to see American youth dragged into the conflict he is in favor of sending the Allies every mouthful of food thev can eat. every shell they can shoot and every aii-plane they can fly. And he would give the allied nations all this without cost to them. With minute reports reaching his ears every few minutes and telling about the incidents of war as perpetrated upon a peace-loving people, the man on the street is more bitter against Hit ler than he was a quarter of a century ago. Hit ler's reply to Britain's ultimatum was describ ed as absurd by the man on the street While he boasted about an empty plan to maintain peace and protect Poland, he was sending his soldiers, airplanes and other implements of war to blow up defenseless towns and kill men and defense less women and children. The attitude toward Hitler, fast reaching a point of strong opposition, was aggravated Sun day as reports told about a merchant ship with 1.400 Canadians and United States citizens aboard being torpedoed a few hundred miles off Scotland's coast. This country may escape the actual conflict, but there are few who would deny England and prance every possible help in this trying ~htiur. The man about the street who once lavoi ed the payment of debts by foreign nations is now expressing himself strong in favor of send ing supplies to them free of cost Hitler regardless of whatever causes fie may have to offei for his ruthless steal in Europe, has created a hah among American people that will, in all probability, prove costly to him. This country may remain out of war for quite a while There is no immediate cause for Ameri can youth to enter the conflict Then- is, how ever. immediate cause for America to throw its support to England and France and furnish them with necessary supplies to check a beast whose greed apparently will not stop until all the world is subjected to his will and power. But the course of America, while not definitely charted just now will unfold itself as the young wai progresses The facts that come to them hourly these next few months will cause Un people to direct congress to take action Already then is a strong demand for a change in the neutrality act, and the demand will grow as Hitler advapces in Europe. Ii llud To Lome Klkin Tribune. I doesn't rolled credit on the statesmanship ot the world that ativ one man. particularly a none-too-competont paper-hanger, is able to plunge the world into conflict war that has tto morr justiIdealion'than the~satTsfyTngof hu inan greed for powei In spite of all his protestation the world rec ognises Adolf Hitlei as the cause of all the present world misery that comes from armed conflict In Ins instance madness he has prov en himself a genius in stiff-arm diplomacy, and his success in getting whatever he has wanted without bloodshed, at once inspired his peo ple and ^swelled his ego to the point where he sincerely believed himself a superman, not even to he denied anything he coveted. Kuropean statesmen know now that they trusted him ton lar. that he sucked them in tin a nice ride down the river; they know that if. when he set out to occup\ the Rlitfieland. he had met resistance, his soldiers already had their orders to retreat; that if Kngland and ..France had kept a stiff upper lip at Munich there would not have been the gobbling up of Czechoslovakia. And if today the Czech army and the Skoda munitions plant, the second larg est in the world, were available to Britain and France instead ot being a potential asset to Germany, the present task would be a lot eas ier. But it had to coinr this organized effort to hunt down Kuropes mad (tog and remove him as a threat to world society and civilization. For everyone knows that Britain and France are not fighting for Danzig or the Polish corridor. Even Poland would not consider Danzig worth the misery of war and would have been willing to barter with the corridor. But .Hitlers' blood less successes had to be stopped somewhere, else the British and French empires eventually would have been reduced to puppet states and Poland would have been ground to a pulp in the German maw That's why the business of stopping has begun And there can be but one. answer No matter how long the contest, and admittedly it will be a long one. Germany as represented in Hitlei must be subdued. Civilization is' at stake and demands it. human righteousness depends upon it. And like it or not. a part of that responsibil itv will be ours in one form 01 another borne ladies will find heaven monotonous if they don't get a new-style pair of wings occa sionally. Exchange.
