Try Another Remedy At a cost of millions of lives and billions of dollars, the world has learned that war will not end war Activities in China and the more re cent events along the Czechoslovakia-German frontier prove that the wrong course to rid the face of the earth of war has been followed. In a brief twenty years, the modern world has learned that treaties mean little in maintaining peace and good will. Then, it would seem that it is time to chart a new course, possibly the one that a lowly carpenter urged the world to follow nearly two thousand years ago. Hardly were the mangled bodies of World War victims buried before nations, nations claiming to be civilized, became suspicious of others and started arming another generation to do battle. The seed of war was planted when someone created that suspicion. How much bet ter it would have been for the peace of the world today had the leaders of world powers earnestly sought to wipe out suspicion. Instead of doing that nations joined together to squan der peace by an unrelentless march for greed and supremacy over lesser peoples. The tactics employed in the promotion of commerce dur ing the past twenty years have deviated from the principles of fairness. Even in our own country Secretary Cortiell-Hull has been sneer ed at and ridiculed by Americans for his efforts gentlemanly trade agreements. The idea existing during the past twenty years has been to build up one's nation at the expense of another. Friendship and even a small desire to be fair have seldom entered into inter national relationships. Everyone was out for all he could get, the rest to do the same. Possibly such conditions created the Hitler of Germany. No man could rise from the ranks as Hitler has done in such a short period unless conditions drafted him. The world has written a play, a tragic one, around Hitler, and now the world is being called upon to pay the price of its folly. Apparently it is too late now to build a foun dation of peace before the world is engulfed in struggle, but it is time for world leaders to start thinking about the future. They could ra call the facts and count the figures, and know that all the profits accruing from trade in the past twenty years will not offset the cost of the last world war. They would see that bargains driven to bolster economic conditions on the one hand were undermining all such gains on the other hand, and the loss of human life is not considered. Now, it is quite evident that war is necessary to rid the world of Hitler, How much better it would have been had the world never foster ed conditions that gave rise to Hitler and oth ers of his like. Dies League Program Representative Dies, the all-for-American congressman from down in Texas, is proposing a far-reaching program as Read of the House Committee on un-American activities. The congressman has a twelve-point pro gram, but nearly every one of the points is in opposition to this or that or in defense of that. Briefly stated, Representative Dies admits Am erica is on the defense. It has stumbled in its offensive drive for what is just and right, and in the failure it has invited the isms and other agencies that are un-American, according to Dies, who urges America to oppose something and who never mentions the necessity of rem edying the causes creating a need for opposi tion. The self-styled true American would never Jmve found it necessary to rush to the defense of the judiciary or the "purged" candidate if there had been no foundation to the opposition. It may not be in strict accordance with the old principles, but when * majority lifts its voice for a change it is, at least, in accordance with democratic government The twelve points in the representative's (1) To preserve the fundamental principles of Americanism such as freedom of speech, free dom of press, freedom of assemblage and free dom of worship. ? (2) To oppose every effort to undermine or weaken our system of checks and balances and the maintenance of the three independent de partments of Government. (3) To avoid all entangling alliances with for eign countries and to maintain strict neutrality with respect to every foreign power. (4) To advocate adequate defense but to op pose any offensive war or any war that would necessitate the sending of American troops to foreign soil. (5) To aggressively oppose Nazism, Fascism, Communism and every other alien "ism". (6) To stop undesirable immigration from every foreign country and to refuse to permit aliens who enter the country under temporary permits to work in this country. (7) To demand a change of attitude on the part of the Department of Labor and the De partment of State with respect to immigration and deportation, and to demand strict enforce ment of existing deportation laws. (8) To strengthen existing immigration and deportation laws and to take adequate steps to prevent illegal entrance of aliens. (9) To establish and maintain an efficient system under which the presence and move ments of all aliens in America may be known. (10) To oppose religious, racial or class hatred and intolerance, but at the same time to resist every effort tn transfer the nimrruk hatroHg and feuds of Europe to American shores. (11) To oppose violence and lawlessness and to demand respect for and obedience to the laws of this country. (12) To defend the independence of the Con gress, the independence of the judicial system, and the independence of the executive depart, ment. Good Old Russia Scorned, rebuked and sneered at by the old order for years, Russia became the good friend of world peace almost overnight when last week it boldly stepped forward with a promise to aid Czechoslovakia if the enemy attacked the little country. Russia, one must admit, is ready and willing to help maintain world peace despite all the Red menace and faults charged to her. No one rushes to give Russia much credit, but it is reasonable to believe that Germany would have invaded Czechoslovakia days ago had it not been for the warning boldly offered by the Russians. Statesmen are now venturing to say that Russia holds the key to world peace, that despite its Red menace the eountry ranks with the great powers of the globe today, possibly surpassing France and others in greatness. Independence Hertford County Herald. This newspaper admires a man of independ ence and of the courage to speak out when his convictions are challenged, whether in private or public life, and it does not believe that "rub ber stamp" approval of every New Deal pro posal during the past six years is in any way a Qualification which fits a candidate for Con gress or Senate for re-election. On the other hand, if there is.a candidate for re-election who is at variance with the principles of the party leadership and the purposes behind the New Deal, such as President Roosevelt has spoken out openly against in recent primaries, we see no reason for the high indignation that has been expressed in various quarters against the Presi dent's independence and boldness in speaking out in defense of his principles and his cause. Generally these men who are so resentful of what they term "Presidential interference" have first attempted to prove their loyalty to the New Deal, and have grown resentful only when their hands have been called for mas querading as supporters of the President's lib eral ideals and policies. Their criticism of the President for challenging thdir position does not ring true, and certainly does not square up with the type of independence and courage of conviction which inspires admiration. If the people of their States wish to re-elect these men who differ with the President and the New Deal policies on which the President went into office because they approve of their records, well and good, but for these men and their supporters to get hot and bothered and call the President all sorts of ramies because he calls their hands on their attempts to sail under false colors?well, we- admire "the President's indc-~ pendence and courage and place very little con fidence in either the independence or those that he has challenged or the sincerity of his critics. The independence that inspires our loyalty is an honest independence, and not the sort that is typified by the dog that bites the hand that feeds It?after it has been fed. "When Col. Frank Knox chose the occasion of the National Editorial Association conven tion to voice hitter political hatred of the Roosevelt Administration, he was properly re buked, first by Gov. Homer A. Holt and then by Senator Neely.^The strongest answer to the accusations of Col. Knox that 'free speech is be ing threatened by dictatorial policies', is the fact that he himself still enjoys the rights of free speech and free press, no matter how un fairly and bitterly he speaks of the Administra tion in power at Washington." ?
