How Munich Agreement May Affect Us TPHE Munich agreement, which marked the end of British and Frpnrri sunrpmapv in Fnrnnp and isolated Russia, may also come to mean a ser ious threat to the United States. For a great manv vears there has existed an un- - - - . written agreement that the British navy would po lice the Atlantic while the fleet of the United States looked after the Pacific. This agreement, so far as known, has always been a mere mutual under- standing, which it was not necessary to discuss, because war between the two greatest democracies was considered impossible. ' ' But things are different since the abject surrender at Munich. The German and Italian dictators are now convinced that England and France will stand aloof in the event of . war between the totalitarian . powers and other nations, and. the next crisis may develop in the western hemisphere. Hitler has stated that he desires no more terri tory in Europe, and that statement may or may not be true, but it is well known that he has terri torial ambitions elsewhef e. He will probably demand the return of German colonies and get them, but he cares little for the'colonies. They were always more" of a liabilitv than an asset, and thev are no herter w J j - ' - today. Hitler's real desires lead elsewhere. The vast unexplored reaches of the South Amer lean continent; the almost unlimited resources in' minerals, timber and agriculture, and the helpless ness of most' of the small republics, make of that section of the western world a goal' of heart's de sire for crowded nations with limited raw materials, whose rulers glorify war and conquest. The Monroe Doctrine has so far kept the South American states free and independent, but only be cause it was agreeable to Great Britain and France. The Monroe Ddctrine cannot be enforced by the United States alone without a navy strong enough to protect both oceans and an air force great enough to cope with Germany, Italy and Japan. Brazil has already a large German and Italian population, and this element was strong enough to incite the recent revolution which was quickly put down by government forces. The same thing happened in Chile, started by German inhabitants. These revolutions did not succeed, but that does not mean that some future revolt will not succeed. Neither does it mean that government forces could repel a foreign invader. Mexico, our immediate neighbor to the south, is the bad boy of western nations and is a constant menace to the United States because of the conces sions made to Japan, and because of the hostility manifested by many leading Mexicans toward this country. It may be recalled that the Germans drew ambitious plans during the World War to invade the United States through Mexico, as soon as Europe was conquered, and that the Mexican gov ernment was an enthusiastic partner in the project. But the plans were discovered, and the Kaiser fail ed in Europe where Hitler has succeeded. But Mex ico is still willing to join in a plan of that kind with any nation strong enough to put it over. The small nations to the south of Mexico have no desire to assist invaders and are jealous of their independence, and the same is true of Brazil, Argen tina and Chile, but all of them, large and smallare wide, open and would be helpless against modern naval and air; forces. Their only hope for continued independence lies in the Monroe Ddctrine, and' the Monroe Doctrine is just another worthless paper unless backed by overwhelming force, . , I Zinc Line Etching from Drawing by George Er'win Patton FIFTH GRADE PUPILS ENJOYING GEOGRAPHY The pupils in the fifth grade in Mrs. Ramsey's room are enjoying their study of sceograDhv.

Thev also have been studying about the Yellowstone national park and its wonderful geysers. Thev are very much interested in the Old Faith ful Geyser. This eevser is 'called "Old Faithful Geyser" because it comes up out of the ground every seventy minutes. ' Carolyn T-ong.

There were 25 boys initiated. They plan to hold the formal initiation at the next regular meeting. ' To date, 60 of the 63 boys en rolled in Agriculture have paid their Agriculture and F. F. A. dues. This is about 95 per cent, of the total enrollment. .The boys of the agriculture class are making . out- an order for a number of notebooks that have an F. F. A. emblem upon them. They have also completed an annual clan of work which they ar,e planning to achieve. This includes thing which are beneficial not only to the students but also to the farmsteads upon which they live. It encouraees all members to raise mirebred croos and rear purebred livestock. They think that there is a possibility of raising a number of boy9 to the Future Farmer degree and , also having some boys raised to, the Carolina Farmer degree.
