Afaintt Hooterelt 4 ml Not 4 Third Trrm When all the Republicans and a few Demo publicans say they are against a third term they only mean that they arc against Roosevelt and his progressive policies. There have been times when the Republicans maintained that a third term is not contrary to the Constitution, but when it is mentioned for the opposition party a third term is not to be recognized in the eyes of the Old Guard If it is so bad, as the Roosevelt haters say it is, for a President to continue in office for more than two terms, then why is it all right for senators and representatives to continue in office decade alter decade? For. after all, the senators and congressmen are the guys who make the laws and run the country. Up until the present administration took of fice in 1933, the Republicans looked upon the nation's Chief Executive as a man who dished out jobs to the politicians and who did the bid ding of big business The job of President as handled by Mr Roosevelt carries a new mean ing, and that is why he was called into service for a third term by the party at its recent con vention in Chicago. How well the Old Guard would have had Mr. HoovO- contmue iti the White lluuse a secund and possibly a third term. Under him they would have annexed all the wealth of the na tion, and reduced the office of President to a dummy directorate. Possibly this could have been accomplished in Hoover's second term, but to wind up the big deal the Old Guard would, in all probability, have called on him to serve for a third term Hiiildinft ( l> llis Refiimt' Adolf Hitler; as much as one hates to admit it, is rapidly building up a world regime, and some, call them alarmists if you like, see Eu rope's mad man looking to America and these United States. Follow the course of the man these past few years through Austria, Czecho slovakia, Poland. Norway, Holland and France. In some of those countries. Hitler took over the government merely by telephoning the people's government to move out and make room for his men. The most glaring defeat is seen in France where a henchman, Petam, took over for Hit ler-Mussolini while an honorable people plead ed to carry on the struggle. And now Hitler is asking the removal of Churchill as head of the British government. Remove him and put in a pro-German or face the consequences of destruction. Hitler is tell ing the British empire. If Hitler can tell the greatest empire on earth what to do, there is little to hope for in the United States in the way of an uninterrupted freedom. Possibly Hitler will warn against the inauguration of Roose velt next January, and suggest that we pick out Charlie Lindbergh, or Mr. Ford, or Mr. Wheeler, or Mr. Vandenburg, not to mention the "bucking" Democrats who apparently would rather see Hitler reduce this nation and its people to slavery rather than see Mr. Roose vett return to the White House for a thtrd term We can stay here and talk third-term poppy rot all we want to, and ignore the greatest prob lem ever to face the world, but while we sleep the octopus extends his deathly clutch on dem ocracy and all that it purports to represent. How foolish it is for us to remain idle during these important months in the history of the world. We are merely waiting for Hitler to ex tend his slave regime on the world front and then defy him and his superior strength. We ate talking about our defense program, but if England falls our armament ratio will be a lit tle one against Hitler's eight. Little has been gained on the diplomatic front these past few months. Trade treaties have had the life of a soap balloon, and mili tary alliances have changed over night. It would seem that time, money and energy expended on those fronts offer little in return .and that the best solution, while not at all acceptable to our peaceful minds, would be to join hands with England in prosecuting the war by sending planes, military craft and supplies to her dur ing the world crisis. Japan'? "Monroe Doctrine''' Christian Science Monitor. The Monroe Doctrine confirmed established interests in the New World; it did not seek to eject non-American powers. It proposed to maintain the independence of American na tions. not to circumvent it. True, it was designed to base a policy of self interest?the security of the United States. Ad mittedly it has on occasion been abused by im perialists. Yet it has embodied real advantages for weaker nations in the Western Hemisphere. They have found it a tolerable doctrine. They would not alter its objectives. And on the whole the United States' application of the Monroe Doctrine and the acquiescence of smaller Am erican nations in this application has exhibit ed enough of fair play on all sides to make that Doctrine respected the world over. No greater compliment could be paid it than Comes from Tokyo periodically in assertions that Japan today is exercising a "Monroe Doc trine" throughout eastern Asia. The euphem ism has been used again in the last few days. AH that this means is that the Japanese military authorities sense how great must be Britain's preoccupation with the German threat of in vasion, and that the United States must also pursue a cautious policy for the moment in the Far East, that France is "out" and that this therefore may be ,as one Japanese newspaper put it Japan's "golden opportunity." A golden opportunity, presumably to exer cise a Monroe Doctrine in the Orient. Yet how would Japan go about it? The question is an swered by the history of the last eight years: by ejecting established interests, by undermining the independence of neighboring nations through puppet rpgimps. and by establishing Japanese power with the "life-giving sword" and civilian bombing. Is this what the Monroe Doctrine as applied by the United States in the Western Hemisphere looks like in Tokyo? Such an impression might impair some Americans' capacity for moral in dignation But riot many will ho o!.^ily mU led into an unnecessary self-condemnation. For it is obvious that what Japan's expansionist leaders are trying to do is to sell to the Amer icas and to the rest of the still civilized world a bill of goods with a deceptive label. A com pliment to the Monroe Doctrine is implicit in the effort though not many Americans will ap jneciate it as an acceptable eompliment.

The public is cordially invited to attend both services. trouble. Early the night before he had left home with a number of friends, in the course of the evening they had become intoxicated with beer. Just for the excitement they decided to hold up a filling station, the owner unexpectedly had resist ed them, in the melee that follow ed guns had been drawn and the owner had been killed by his son. On the way to work the next morn ing this broken-hearted father had told a friend about his sorrow. This friehd on his way home from work that afternoon, stopped by to pick up his wife, who had been to a party during the afternoon, and together they drove home. As they were riding along this father, remem bering the story of his friend about his son, asked his wife "How much of the children have you seen this week?" Her answer was that she had seen very little of them. "You know how it is John, I have my clubs, engagements, and various parties to attend, that there is so little time left to be with the children." Then he wife asked her husband, "How much have you seen of them?" His answer was similar to hers. He had to be off to the of fice early and it was usually late when he returned, and often the children would already be in bed, that he too had seen very little of them. i I Right then and there he told her the story his friend had told him, holding each other's hands, they re solved that they were going to give more of their time and thoughts to their children, and together they breathed a prayer of thanksgiving to Almighty God, that their chil dren were still very very young. Why not resolve now each of you as fathers, that you are going to work and play more with your boys? RIDDICK'S GROVE Regular services Sunday after noon at 3 o'clock.
