NO WAR THREAT ______ ( The people of the United States naturally wonder what chance there may be that this country will become ^ embroiled in the war now going on in Europe. , Our own opinion is that there is not modi chance. Of course, if other | nations come into the fighting- the situation will be different. We do not believe the United States ' wilt go into any European war unless J and until it appears that Great Brit ain and France will be defeated. This | is not indicated in the struggle now going on with Germany. It may be that German U-boats will create incidents that will involve the loss of American lives and Am erican ships. It will be entirely a matter for the'government here to 1 decide whether these incidents justify J the use of aimed force by this na- J tion. If they do, there will be no ' necessity for the dispatch of any < large amy to Europe. 1 Frankly, the people of the United ( States might as well recognize the fact that Britain and France are our ' first line of defense. This does not ] mean that we must, under all dr- ' cumetances, defend them. It is oniy 1 when they are attacked by govern- < mests like that of Hitler-dominated Germany that oor iirterests . require ! that the two great democracies be 1 '^am^ing a future world pol- 3 ley for the United States, we think ' it might be a good idea to construct 3 ?ywff ytg AND FttfTHl to keep out of the pm to price* m the United State*, r in ili^M fl# ? nBnanla,!

WASHINGTON NOTES I PROJECTS RETURNED More than 5,000 applications for PWA projects, two-thirds of them examined and many approved, have been rtorned to the local units by John M. Carmody, Federal Works Administrator, who explains his ac tion by stating that the PWA is without funds to extend its program, rhe applicans are advised to make other arrangements to proceed with the projects. Mr. Carmody expressed the opinion that many of the projects mold be financed through private initiative and saw a "splendid oppor tunity for private enterprise and in dustry to show what it can do." _#o :al expenditures under the projects returned would have exceeded $700, XX),000.

BELLIGERENT SHIPS FUNDS FOR THE ARMY ;: BRYAN'S POLICIES <"? :.:; When war became a certainty, in Europe the United States Govern ment formally proclaimed its neu trality to the world and almost im mediately clamped an embargo on the shipment of arms, munitions and implements of war to the various na tions engaged in the struggle. . ? 'T ?? v;:- v " American traders apparently as sumed immediately that a war in Europe would help American busi ness. The very first session of the New York Stock Exchange after the declaration of war was a day of sen sations, with the heaviest stock trad ing in two years and the greatest volume of bond sales in the history of the Exchange. Not only did bonds and stocks go up in value} but there were rises in essential commodities, traders evidently Relieving that the demand for these commodities from Europe will force much; higher prices. a ] ' ? '? - J Under present neutrality legisla tion, the ships of the United States are under no Restrictions as to voy aged into the dangerous areas of the war zone. Consequently, it is to be. expected that American ships will face, some of the dangers inherent in belligerent waters. President Roosevelt has rejected plans for a naval convoy- to escort merchant ships flying the American flag, con cluding that it will be safer for American ships to burn all lights and display their nationality plainly I to--potential attackers. Officials expressed the belief.that American vessels should cross the Atlantic normally, without resorting to such wartime precautions as dark ening. lights and running on a zig zag course. An American vessel thus lighted and pursuing her way, ' could not be mistaken for a ship of a belligerent nation if attacking war craft used the slightest care. * - ? I Among other activities reported by the Government as war got un derway In Europe is a watch upon commodity priceein order to prevent abnormal price increases. The War Resources Board is using economists of the Labor and Agricultural De partments and Federal Reserve Board to keep check on price trends in the United States. The experts are studying the price trends that began in 1914 in order.to have yard stick'for the present situation. It is recalled that during the war peri od, from December, 1914, to June, 1920> the cost of goods purchased by wage earners more than doubled. . - It should be remembered that 25 years ago,. Russia, and Italy, as well as the countries in the Southeastern part of Europe, were also included in the hostilities. At this time, the war is confined to four nations of Europe and while there will bb Mi percussions in the price structure ex isting in the United States, there does not seem to be any reason for the wild, gyrations which marked the struggle twenty-five years ago. : , It in snttrdy nate?i; for traders - to npecufatt** upon advancing prices and :'v to ^attempt^ something , l&e hoarding of wttml war suppheife in- \ thiiwdiiv commodities.

P*';-'. ? - l^Now that war has'got underway in Europe, the President is not pro claiming " pro-Democrat y" views but seems to have reverted to the neu trality. policies that were advocated by the late William Jennings Bryan when he was Secretary, of State. This means that the United States, at the present, seeks to avoid becoming in volved in tbe war while opening its markets to all comers and attempt ing to restrict the use of its Bhips and the travel of its people in no called danger zones. It is generally admitted that the overwhelming sentiment of the people of this ni tion is on toe ride of Great Britain and France, but it is also assumed that the people of this country want j to stay out of European wars. ^Tv ?? ,i CBA#INED OFFICER ft Ripley, Tenn. ?
