and that certain Sooth American
countries wiD welcome the -iMustlW
thm of satisfactory bases in thdr j
strategic anas. Emphasis should be j
given to the announced policy of; this
country that the air and naval bases,
secured from Cheat Brithtn and con
structed by this country -in Sooth
America, will be available to all the ,
nations of this hemisphere.
Naturally, the United States will
have to bear the expense of this de
velopment, but, before the year is out,
there is every indication that plans
will have been completed to give us
a string of bases in both oceans which
will practically insure the safety of
this hemisphere as soon as oar two
ocean navy is completed.
The registration of millions of
young Americans was carried out
last week without a hitch, in fact,
public opinion in this country strong
ly supports the Selective Service
Training Act. Even the young men
who registered feel that, if they must
serve in the armed forces of this Re
public, it is necessary for them to
have proper training. Acceptance of
conscription in time of peace is an in
dication of the distance that public
opinion has travelled in this country
in the past year. I
While the nation continues to de
sire peace and hopes to maintain
peace, there's no mT?taVfr>g the fact
that, as a nation, we are preparing to
defend ourselves from ? an attack
which is regarded as inevitable unless
Germany and Italy are defeated in
Europe and Japan is checked in the
? Far East.
Under the impact of the European
War, the policy of official neutrality
has entirely vanished. Hie United
States is frankly interested in the
successful defense of Great Britain
and will take practically any step
that is necessary to insure survival of
the British Fleet. Isolation senti
ment, which was so strong in recent
years, has dwindled rapidly. In fact,
the threat in the Japanese adherence
to the European Axis has had a pro
found effect on the West Coast, which
was not influenced to any great ex
tent by the outbreak of war in Eu
rope.
Hie national defense program is
about to enter a period which will al
most appear to be non-productive.
With most of the necessary legisla
tion out of the way and contracts for
defense items let, the job becomes
an industrial task. Because of the
necessity for plant expansion and the
acquisition of machine tools, the pro
duction of many defense items will
be slow. This is inevitable, but the
nation can afford to delay because
of the failure of Germany to over
whelm British.
Apparently we will have the time
needed to launch our huge industrial
program. Once the wheels of produc
tion begin to tarn oat the needed
items on a large scale, there is little
question about the ability of this
country to take care of any foreign
threat or to repel any foreign inva
sion.
Rumors of additional assistance to
Greet Britain are unofficial but there
are hints that soma flying fortresses
and possibly some older submarines
may be turned over to the' Briti&
In addition, the delivery of planes
will be stepped up and it i? suggested
that, possibly, some Sghtmg planes
may be sent to ties Chinese.

Editors And Agents
| Comprise Farm Team
Weekly newspaper editors and
county farm, and home agents make
up a team that has been one of the
most potent forces in the improve*
ment of farming and rural living In
the past 26 years. Those are the senti
ments of M. L. Wilson, director of
Extension for the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. Director I. 0. Schaub

vice says he heartily concurs in the
views expressed by the Federal lead

Of -the beginning of this period of
team work, Director Wilson sayB,
The United States was nearing the
end of the roar as far as new land
Mgl concerned. In the more carefully
cultivated. sections, faming methods
lagged behind- experimental advances
in agricultural science. Into this
picture stepped the county agent and
tg?*eled from farm to farm on foot,
on horseback, .and in buggies.
"On the country editor the agent
leaned heavily from the earliest days.
Usually the work of the county agent
|nde good newspaper copy. Fre
quently he would write a column of
his own in the weakly paper and his
writings were compact with good
Bense. .
"Judged solely as a job in practical,
popular education, the achievement of
the county agent ranks high in Amer
ican social history. The county agept
is now equipped with an automobile
and a clerical force in his office, but

some farm talking about crops and
rural improvements. The "weekly

growers took out the insurance,
which guarantees to a grower a re
turn of either 50 or 75 per cent of
his average wheat crop.
