People who get favors make it mighty hard to cut them off the free list Keeping the peace with Japan requires that ihe Chinese gradually back out of China. ' Like it or not, the United States is part of Ihe world which includes other nations and ether peoples. Business organizations might get further if feey got over the idea that they are designed to improve the government Here’s the proposition: You buy the news paper and you are entitled to disagree with the editor without limit The Constitution of the United States was drawn up by a convention which met in se cret What its clauses sometimes mean reamins a secret ' Using our gold to strengthen the finances of ether governments is not a bad idea; with half of the world’s gold supply it will pay us to keep other nations interested in gold. The world that hailed nations for fighting because they guaranteed the neutrality of Bel gium has mighty little to say, about the nations that have nothing to say although they guaran teed the neutrality and territorial integrity of China. ONE SAVED OUT OF FOUR One year after the distribution of the soilder’s bonus, Treasury reports show that only twenty three percent of the recipients have not yet cashed their bonus bonds. Some might argue from this that those who received the bonds were spendthrift and im provident. This does not necessarily follow. Many of the recipients of the bonds made use of the cash upon selling for permanent in vestments of value. Others had to sell them to pay debts accumulated during the depression. ARE YOU BALANCED It is fine for human beings to have good times, to enjoy themselves in proper ways and to appreciate a sense of humor as they travel along the road of life. However, after all, this is not the purpose of existence. The individual should accept some responsibility, assume some obligations and have faith in something if life is to have a full meaning. There is always the danger that the thinkers of the day will take things too seriously but this danger is no more real than the opposite, that the pleasure seekers will fail to take things aeriously enough. The balance between them is what makes civilization worth having, but it does not seem possible for every individual to capture the poise that goes with such a balance. FOOLISH ATTACK It may be politics to some people but we see little sense in the recent attack upon Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt by Rep Hamilton Fish, Republican Representative from New York, who charged that she evaded taxes in connection with certain charity broadcasts. What are the facts? Well, the First Lady, By contract, had the income from her radio Broadcasts paid directly to a charity. In 1934, when she entered into the contract, it was sub mitted to Treasury officials, who ruled that no tax need be paid, since she did not profit per sonally. In other words, Mrs. Roosevelt, who gave al her income from radio broadcasts to charitable is cited by Fish in an effort to make people believe that she is guilty of the same kind o ' evasion that rich men have adopted, not to give to charity, but to save their monej themselves. ONE DIFFERENCE If a manufacturer makes $1,000,000 units ol his product he expects to get, subject to var ious trade allowances for quantity, etc., sub stantially more money than if he only manu factured 900,000 units. Farmers, however, who produce wheat and cotton, have found out in some years that the more they raise the less they get for the crop as a whole. This is the difference between manufacturing and agriculture that often escapes the attention of city economic experts who delight in lam basting efforts to aid the farmers. THIRTY SELECTED WORDS Americans have borrowed more words from foreign languages than any other people, in the opinion of Dr. Wilfred J. Funk, maker of dic tionaries, who lists what he considers the ten most remarkable words borrowed from other tongues. Here they are: Bungalow, Bengalese; verandah, Asiatic In dian; pickaninny, Spanish; kimona, Japanese; caboose, Dutch; pajama, Asiatic Indian; avenue, French; hippopotamus, Greek, and potato, Am erican Indian. Several years ago Dr. Funk picked the “ten most beautiful” words: dawn, hush, lullaby, mumming, tranquil, mist, luminous, chimes, golden and melody. He recently listed the ten- “most overworked” words: okey, terrific, lousy, contact, definitely, gal, racket, swell, impact and honey. Readers will have their own ideas, but the selections of the recognized expert are interest ing. THE ALTERNATIVE OF ARMS Generally speaking we are among those who regret that the nations of the earth find it ne cessary to spend billions of dollars every year for armament. We are not among those who ask that this country refrain from such expen ditures. There was a time when people had some rea son to believe that a nation without the means of defense was reasonably safe in its territorial possessions. That day has passed. Its demise is marked by dead bodies in Manchukuo, Ethio pia and Spain. We believe that a strong navy and a prepared army are necessary if the United States does not want to invite European powers to take over portions of South and Central America. Like it or not, we must face facts in rivaling with our world. Germany, Italy, Japan and possibly other countries today would not hesi tate to use force as a method of securing na tional aggrandizement. The only thing that would prevent them from running roughshod over some other nation would be the power of the other nation to defend itself. If we are to maintain ourselves in the world then the United States must be adequately armed for effective defense. The Presidents of the United States, in the last decades, have done everything possible to prevent an armaments race. They have not succeeded. The United States has done what it could to develop a better feeling among the nations in the hope that this would remove distrust and suspicion and lead to peace. We have tried to build up internatoinal trade as a method of preventing war. None of these poli cies can be called complete failures but neither can they, at this time, be termed successful. The only alternative that we can see today to a continued race between the great nations of the world is the establishment of an armed peace, backed if necessary by sufficient strength to make it effective and supreme over any challenge. That nations could go into such an undertaking is doubtful. Whether the people of this country would countenance American participation in such a power-pact for peace is uncertain, but as an effort to avoid continued armaments and unnecessary expense the idea might be considered. We do not think that any effective pact could be arranged that would guarantee frontiers be cause this would involve too many implications. However, it is not beyong the possibilities that the United States, Great Britain, Frances and such other established rules of international trade could establish a force that would dom inate oceanic trade. This force would be able to prevent overseas expansion that would tend to interfere with equal trade opportunities, such as is the case with Japanese operations in Man chukuo and North China, the Italian undertak ing in Ethiopia and the Germanic-Italian flirta tion with Gen. Franco. Such a concert of powers, acting for difinitely restricted purposes, and using naval strength almost exclusively, could exert a tremendous force for peace in the world. However, there must be no hesitancy to use ships and guns if necessary to maintain the status sought and to let recalcitrant nations know that they are dealing with a fighting unit not a system of diplomatic protests. The British re-armament program seems to have been started at the last possible minute. } By liming and fertilizing old permanent pastures, some of my neighbors get about 40 days of extra grazing a year. WHAT’S WHAT • about • Social Security As another service to its readers, this newspaper each week will give authoritative answers to questions on the Social Security law.

My employer is pay ing the same. Do I also pay one per cent to the Federal Gov ernment for old-age benefits?

Question No. 27: How can I get a job in the Old-Age Benefits Office? Answer: The Bureau of Fed eral Old-Age Benefits is a de partment of the Federal Govern ment. All employees, with the exception of a few experts in the Bureau, are taken directly from the Civil Service registers. Question N. 28: I only work one day in aweek.
