ASSERTS AMERICA
WAS BORN LUCKY
Fort Lincoln Man Says Military
History is Replete With
Serious Errors

Lieut.. G. N. S. Ballou, Fort Lincoln
asserts that America was born lucky
Addressing members of Lloyd Spetz
Post No. /. American Legion, Friday
night he said the military record OF
this country is, on the whole moth
ing to be proud of and turned the
spotlight of truth on the tradition
that our armies always have been VIC
torious.
In its military history, Ballou said
the United States has made every
mistake possible and many Of its
grievous errors have been made over
and over again. Among its most
fragrant crimes against sound policy
he said, have been short enlistments
and lack of centralized control of the
army in the field. The World war was
the first conflict in which this nation
escaped the latter two mistakes, he
said.
Ballou asserted that to maintain a
reasonable degree of preparedness
through the regular army, national
guard and reserve corps would be the
cheapest military policy for the nation
but made the gloomy forecast that it
will not be followed and that the
same toll of blood. treasure and tears
will be taken in the next war on the
same basis as in the past.
Members of the Legion decided not
to sponsor another public golf course
in Bismarck following a report by a
golf committee.
A report on Legion sponsorship OF
junior baseball in Bismarck was made
and the committee on this subject
was continued to proceed with this
work.

TYPICAL Of the sort of thing that has been
l. considered purely American phenomenon
is the career Of Premier Ramsay Macdonald
of Great Britain.
Macdonald literally came from log cabin
He was born the son of humble fisherman
in Scottish village on the Moray Firth. The
family home was tumble-down little aft air of
two rooms. with a matched straw roof, and the
family's total weekly income was but few
shillings.
As boy he went to the village school. but
at II. like the other boys in the village. he quit
and prepared to go to work. AT first he
planned to become fisherman like his father.
but for some reason he changed his mind and
got job working in the fields on neighboring
farm
Then. by stroke of luck. the village school,
master. who apparently saw in the youth signs
Of keen intelligence. made him his assistant.

his new opportunities. With

Balance the federal budget before the political
conventions and before congress is turned into a
campaign free-for-aIl That is the demand Of the
country. All sides agree that prolonged delay in
passing the tax bill would be disastrous.
Further delay would injure the national credit.
It would retard business. 1t would hold up the
vitality necessary unemployment relief program. The
entire country would suffer.
After long months Of study and debate, the Re-
uublican-Democratic bipartisan tax bill is the
threshold Of final passage. 1t is through the house.
Senator Harrison ranking Democrat in charge Of the
bill says that it can pass the senate today.
1t can 60 through conference in short order, and
be sent to the President. The tax bill can become
law within few days.
The senate then proceed with the remaining
appropriation bills, the economy measure and the
relief legislation and congress can adjourn before the
