Aid For Enpland While England, during her life and death struggle with a barbaric foe. is getting some aid from the United States, it is the average cit izen's burning wish to see more aid extended the hard-pressed country. According to unofficial but fairly reliable news sources, the United States has sent to England during the past year the following war material. 2,200 airplanes, half million ri fles. 150.000,000 rounds of ammunition, 70,000 machine guns and 6.000 lield artillery guns The report does not include The 50 over-age destroy ers that are now plowing the seas in an effort to help relieve the pressure against England. Recognizing the facts as they are and weigh ing the evidence as it is found, it would seem advisable for this country to double and redou ble its aid to Britain. Possibly Adolf Hitler woyld have more respect for us if we did just that instead of crunching down with our tail between our legs, playing the appeasement role that has brought nation after nation to starva tion and disaster. Strong For The IN'nr Deal Farmer Vern E. Lewis, of Rushville Ind . had the following to say in the Indianapolis Star recently: If the money that w as worse than wasted in the last 20 years had ben invested in some good life insurance company, very few in this coun try would be needy I "read" the tobacco bill is over $9,000,000,000. the booze bill $5,000,000,000. and the pleasure bill just between these two. Possibly all of this foolish money spent would pay our big debt in about 2 years. Ill 1922 when 1 cents was all I could sell my corn for we used this corn in cook stoves and in the furnace for fuel Corn was less than $3 a ton In February 1937. when we had our farm sale. 100 bushels would have more than- paid the tax on game farm and personal property 1 year. Tax was down from $182.50 to $121.65. corn up from 10 cents to $1.25 a bushel. In my township not far from our home 2,900 acres of land were lost in Harding. Coolidge, and Hoover administrations Vos; I voted for all three of them Not 1 acre of land in Rich land township, Rush County, has been lost in the last 7 years. I think three life insurance pol icies were what saved us. One $2,500 policy had a 10-year accumulated dividend. Through the three administrations I had voted for Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover, the best offer we could get on our 80 acres was $4,800. In August, 1936, I priced it and in less than 2 hours it was sold for $9,235, $4,435 profit, should have asked $10,000. Why should 1 go back on the New Deal program? "It is a poor compliment to the intelligence of the 40,000,000 workers in the United States to have the Republicans say they will more ef ficiently and conscientiously enforce laws pass ed by the Democratic Administration in behalf of labor, when they are the very ones who fought, with every legislative and financial means at their command, every one of these very same laws."-? Democrat (Boston.. Mass.) News (Dem ). Nothing is more nobld, nothing more vener able, than fidelity.?Cicero. ff itftnul Proof Republican campaigners are really having a difficult task these days They are talking about conditions as they exist today, but they do not dare compare the present with those grim real ities experienced by thcjjcommon millions back in the early thirties. The campaigners talk much, but they aren't able to offer any convinc ing proof to support that talk. H ill lliller Attack America By Dr. George Mecklenburg. As it seems to mc. this question involves three points: (1) the military strategy of it; (2) the statements of Hitler and his Nazis; (3) the rev olutionary nature of Nazi-ism and its ambition for world empire. 1 The military ^xpt rieTTC leads us to hesitate to utter the word "impossi ble". We do not know that anything is impos sible any more A thing might be possible with out being probable We know that Germany will not attack us unless England collapses. England has for a century and more been our first line of defense When that defense is down, then what will happen' According to what the Nazis say, they are bent on blotting out the entire English Empire, root, branch, and all. Now, is it possible for Germany to success fully attack the United States? Some military experts say that if she can find a landing place in Newfoundland and on the Caribbean Sea, she cannot only attack us but she can conquer us if we are unprepared Nazi-ism has only the utmost disgust for the race mixture called the American melting pot We are classed as an in ferior race and therefore should be subservient to Germany. When we went into hysteria last winter over a radio program on the end of the world, the Germans said: "Well, those imbeciles can easily be conquered " I would say that un less we become stronger than we are, it is not only possible for Germany to attack us, but it is very probable that she will, if England col lapses 2. Tin- world has learned to pay a lot of at tention to what the Nazis say. During the past year they have done just what they boasted they would do during the past years. They are not given to waving an empty gun like our ad ministration at Washington often does. The Nazi guns are loaded. We will do well to pay attention to what they say. They are so fanati cal and believe so much in their program of world empire that they boast of it night and day Every one of the Hitler threats today reads like an understatement. Hitler said the other day: "There will be a Nationalist-Social ist civilization for the next 10 centuries, or! there will be no civilization at all." If Germany is to be defeated, she will leave behind a world m ruins. A few weeks ago when it was pointed out to Hitler that America was helping England, he said: "-America had better keep her nose out of German affairs. For I have it in my power to plunge the United States into chaos and civil war by merely pressing a button on my desk." 2 The doctrine, the faith, or the religion of the Nazis is so revolutionary and so unlike what Christian civilization has been thinking about that it is difficult for us to realize that any man would seriously think of world dominion. Goeb bels said the other day, "We have crucified Ju dea. Now we will scour the stink of Galilee from our souls." What men will do under the urge of the pride of race and the hegemony over inferior races is bevond our comprehiisinn today Europe has been overrun by a vibrant faith in race superiority. It has been conquring a Eu rope without faith, a cynical, pleasure-bent Europe could not stand out against Nazi faith. Decaying democracies have bowed to rejuven ated autocracy. I am as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow that our only assurance of the continuance of a liberal, individualistic Christian democracy is to make our Christianity vital, believing, and sacrificial. We must again have the courage to sing, "Onward Christian Soldiers, Marching as to War/^ We will entirely succumb to barbar ism or we are on the threshold of higher forms of civilization. I do pray the democratic coun tries will awaken from idle stupor and com placent steam-heat comforts to take up the rugged vigors necessary to maintain a free civ ilization. j And Chid is. on. our side. "lie will shake the heavens and the earth. He is shaking the earth now; perhaps Hitler is one uf His tools shaking the earth. The heavens will respond 1 as soon as we do our part. It takes the cooper ation of heaven and earth to maintain Christ ian civilization. BENNETT WHOLESALE COMPANY WaMhinglon, N. V. Phone 427.
