' r( In the light of, such a war motive s( some facts dug up by Farm Researeh, a non-profit organization with t headquarters at Washington, D. C., arc quite interesting. It Is estimated that In the World War, the cost, of killing a man In (. battle amounted to the staggering sum of $15,000. Farm Research 3 points out that less than one-half of one per cent of the families in the n '. United States receive an income of h $15,000. In fact, one-third of the fam u lilies In the country live on less h than $750 a year. ; , ' ff If the $15,000 were applied to t) peace-time uses, it would be sufficient to convert three farm tenant h families to full ownef status. It m would wipe off the mortgage debt ' from an average of five farms. a Warring nations could achieve Utopia , if their war expenditures were turned into peaceful channels for the welfare of economic groups denied opportunity to achieve decent living.?-Smithfield Herald. Washington " Snapshots J (Cont'd from front page) The swiftly-developing# and terrible events in Europe this year have ^ brought the words very closely home to Americans. There's even the danger that a nervous public wrlll start seeing spies where nine 0 exist, and that admirable and loyal citizens fvill suffer as a result. In * times of tension, the just and the unjust sosetiraes auger alike. It's a Bad fact, but a true one. p< lies idee the injustice that would ni occur as a result of al) this, ther"'s w another danger: Americans may w sU- ?..k I Uiioiano Hie BUBUUn IUI UID OUU stance, and in their zeal to protect this country from "the enemy with- |j In" they may lose sight of far'more real danger* confronting all of us.
