' li It is rare for a strong, healthy man j to appreciate the plight of those who . are in ill health. ( I 1 There never will be an absence of ^ politics in a democracy but there can j be a minimum of it. j "s We are a little bit dubious about how the young things are going to appear in cotton hose. So far as we know every election 1 can be explained, concisely, after the 1 votes have been counted. The world has a wonderful oppor- j tunity to practice sopie of the Chris tian virtues but not in Germany. , 1 How would you feel if everybody in town knew how much you put in the collection for the church last Sun day ? ; I ; i ;i Many individuals are so anxious ' for something they havent got that they havent sense enough to appre ciate what they have. ' Every minority has the right to ' live but no sensible rule of human conduct gives it the right to force itself upon other people. The public is generally getting the idea that there are too many useless strikes and if the idea sticks, it will be too bad for labor. The tide is beginning to turn against the aggressor-dictators, thanks to the courage of the people of three nations, China, Great Brit ain and Russia. Advance Warning: Taxes will be heavy next March, which will give you an idea that this man Hitler has something to do with your spending mcxney. There are people in this country who are so rabid on the subject of communism that they would rather have Hitler rule the world than to see the Red army do something for civilization. NAZEFTED EUROPE A PERIL Francis Biddle, recently appointed Attorney General of the United States, has some ideas about the world situation and American reac tion. He believes that too much has been said about defending England and too little about "the terrible world in which ... we shall have to live if the war machine of Germany absorbs the poor remains of Europe." What has Mr. Biddle in mind? Well, here is what he says: "Too compete with a single Nasified Eu rope we will have to continue to pile up our anna and our taxes, sweat our labor, turn into an armed camp, and eventually fight for our right even to live that kind of life." He does not believe there can exist an American way in a world "where the goose step and the i?living of those who disagree, and the spy and the whip and the torch and&e firing squad are the guardians of fife." mriod. It is too early, however, to beover xmfideni. The Axis powers are al noet without Mends oo this side of fe Atlantic ocean and there seesteg to be a growing solidarity between the two Americas, as exhibited by the recent agreement of the twenty >ne republics to make use of Axis {hipping immobilized in this hemis phere. - No can foretell what will hap pen in the next twelve months. The iVHhood of onr becoming embroiled n the struggle depends upon the out line of pieacnt campaigns, notably the fight in Bum. It also depends upon the quantity of war supplies iaa provide for the opponents of aggression. ?'? EVERY CITIZEN MUST DECIDE a Under the system of government $at now obtains in the United States the executive of this republic will continue to be Franklin D. Roosevelt for about three years and a half. Under the constitution of the na tion, the President is charged with the conduct of foreign affairs. Our foreign policy has likewise been ap proved by the Congress of the United States. If, unfortunately, the United States should become involved in war before Jan. 1st, 1945," the commander-in chief of the anued forces of the country will be Franklin D. Roose velt. There is no way of getting around this fact Consequently, patriotic Americans will cooperate with the President in connection with the de fense program and, if necessary, the war program. The fact that some dissentient citizens are attempting to sabotage the morale of the nation, with cap tions fault-finding and the indiscrim inate peddling of all kinds of rumors, does not change the loyal attitude of loyal Americans. When the nation faces an emerg ency, as this country faces one today, the people who believe in the Ameri can- system of government will sup port their duly elected officials. They have no other choice, except to support the enemies of the United States, either by word of mouth or by action. Hitler is sure that the people of this country will not be sensible enough to get together behind their government. He counts upon divis ion to permit him to "take America without -fighting. Some Americans seem inclined to make the 'inside job0 easier for the Nazis. WHO KNOWS? 1. Was Iran, recently invaded by and Russian forces invaded during^ the first World War? 2.
