An Ill-Timed Criticism
IN the issue of The Saturday Evening. Post for
last week that publication fired both barrels in
ill-timed criticism of the policy of the United States
in regard to European affairs, with, a full page ed
itorial and an article written by Demaree Bess, well
known European correspondent of The Christian
Science Monitor.
The Post is a great weekly and most of us read .
it, but its editorial policy has for many months
been rabidly critical of the policy of the present
administration in all matters both foreign and do
mestic. It would seem that blind hatred of Presi
dent Roosevelt is the actuating force behind many
Post editorials rather than a desire for the welfare
of the country.
The Atlanta Constitution in a vigorous editorial
last Saturday strongly condemned the views of The
Post and Mr. Bess. The Constitution said in part:
"In common with other members of the isola
tionist school whose viewpoint they represent, the
Post and Mr. Bess apparently cannot encompass in
their thought processes the results of casting the
democracies to the flames without offering a help
ing hand. They most certainly have not thought the
problem through to a logical conclusion.
"Speaking hypothetically, since it is inconceivable
the people of the United States would so lose sight
of reality as to follow the Post path, let us assume
the United States withdrew entirely from the Euro
pean picture.
"An ascendant Germany could then wreak its
will on the continent; over a period of years if not
immediately. There would follow appeasement after
appeasement until neither TVance nor Britain could
maintain their freedom. Just as much as Czecho
slovakia would they become vassals of the Nazi
Reich, which would then stand as the richest coun
try in the world, with slave labor and slave capital
able to rip apart the economic structure of the
United States. This country wrould have lost the
first line of defense (frontier, if you will) and the
protection of the British navy.
"An equally ascendant Japan would control Asia,
lock, stock and barrel with coolie labor and coolie
capital at its command.
"Let America keep sight of the realities rather
than go wandering dowrn the blind alleys of theo
retical debate. Whatever one may think of Mr.
Roosevelt's domestic policies, whatever one may
thijik of his tendencies, to be Galahad to the world,
he has guided the American foreign policy with an
admirable hand along the only path it can take with
safety.. The For-God's-Sake-Hide-Your-Head school
is playing for high stakes without looking at their
own cards."

funeral Costs
Should Be
PRIVATE
MANY people feel Uial public dis
cussion of the probable coat of
a funeral to not in good taste and
should be avoided. Perhaps the
advertising of funeral prices,
either by word-ol-mouth or in the
public press may at times encour
age speculation and annoying
gossip.
ALTHOUGH our prices are never
more, often less, than are
charged for "Popular Priced" fun
erals we respect the family's
wishes and hold the cost in strict
est confidence.
