VOICE or THE PEOPLE BACKS
ROOSEVELT

A man who IS looking for straws to
show which way the wind is blowing
could do a lot worse than to study those
stories about the thousands of letters
President Roosevelt is receiving COM
mending him for the NRA campaign.
These letters, mostly are from people
who don't ordinarily sit down to write to
the President Some of them are mis-
spelled, some of them are mere scrawls
on bits of wrapping paper with stub
pencils. some Of them are formally type
written and some are on scented paper.
There is no uniformity. They come
from everywhere and everybody But
they all agree in one thing; each is an ef-
fort by deeply-moved American citizen
to tell the President that the blue eagle
campaign is crossing the land like
strong. refreshing wind, and each is a
heartfelt pledge of support
And the influx of these letters is pos
sibly the most important single symptom
TO be found in all the land today
These letters. that is to say, show how
deeply responsive the American people
are to this stupendous, complex and puz-
ling campaign against the depression.
For the letters are not being written
DN crankS or freaks. 1 Il6N are CO4lillIS
from ordinary people, men and women
who do not usually dream of sending let
ters to the White House. The plain
people of the country. who go voiceless
wear in and year out, are taking the
trouble to speak their minds.
Not once in two or three generations
do the American people really become
aroused. If an awakening is coming now
and this flood of letters can hardly
mean anything else-it indicates that the
nation is tossing into the scales united
force of a size and strength such as Amer
lea has employed only three or four times
in all her history
No one could make a greater mistake
than to underestimate the significance OF
this.
This is not just another political
movement it is not just another fad, just
another safety valve for confused and IN
articulate public emotion.
The blue eagle is the emblem of drive
which has united country back OF 1t;
and it all makes one think of General
Johnson's recent remark
God help the man or men who get in
the way of the national recovery pro-
gram"

SCHOOL CHILDREN AND VAR

1t Is not surprising that the school
children who were examined in a survey
by two professors of Columbia univer-
sity, should have revealed a tendency to
glorify everything connected with war.
Martial things-roll of drums, blare of
trumpets, men in uniform, and all the
fanfare and trumpery of war = have a
we'll nigh irresistible appeal to young
minds, and TO many old ones.
School children in the very nature of
things can have little appreciation of the
horrors and cruelty of war; they see only
its glorieS. Their text book heroes are
great soldiers and they learn that the
destlnleS OF their country have revolved
about war. Was not America born in
blood? Was not Lincoln a hero to be
emulated, even though he led nation in
war?
Now is there any wonder that children
have little grasp of the machinery of
peace? Even adults might be found
woefully lacking in knowledge of the Kel-
log pact, the World Court. the League of
Nations, and the intricacieS surrounding
these agencies.
But while the professors survey re-
veals little that is surprising. it does call
attention to the need for bringing for
cibly home to future citizens that the fact
that war is a national catastrophe and
that as such it is to be avoided if that is
possible; and that good has seldom come
from any war. Probably the greatest
need is to destroy the belief that war is
inevitable, unquestioning acceptance of
which is perhaps the chief reason that
peace measures have been so Intellectual.
World armaments are far larger now
than they were in 1914, and the world
now as then is filled with international
jealousies and suspicious, and rumors of
war. Progress toward universal peace
has been disappointingly slow and has
had many setbacks. Peace machinery is
imperfect and not very effective.
These facts, however only make it
more desirable to put forth every effort
to avoid a new war, which would be inf
nitely more terrible than the last, and
which many world leaders believe would
bring the destruction of civilization.
1t is not necessary to breed nation OF
milksop pacifists. An understanding Of
what war really is, how wars are, and
what is being done to minimize the
chances for war, can be combined with
healthy patriotism.

with TWO rows of sharp teeth, like
saw teeth on the outside edges.

Because you said you would

tleman, for my paws are made
! for that sort of work. But 1 don't
know about the water
The water part will take care
of itself" said the fish All you
need to do is to dig a canal from
my tide pool down to the ocean.
Then the ocean waves will slosh
the water in and l can swim down
the canal to the sea and I shall
be at home again. Can you dig {.
icanal?'
oh, yes, I am sure I can do that
part" said the rabbit.
Then please do and stop that
Sea Urchin from laughing" beg
ged the saw fish
Uncle Wiggily took off his tall
silk hat which he had worn on his
adventure trip after he left his
bunny rabbit children riding on the
merry -go-round The rabbit gen.
| tleman turned up the edges of his
trousers SO they wouldn't get full
of sand and he started to dig a
canal to set free the saw fish who
was a prisoner in the tide pool
Standing on his hind paws I'm
Gle Wiggily began to dig with his
front paws like a dog after a bone.
The sand flew out in a shower like
rain. At times Uncle Wiggily dug
so fast and scattered so much
sand that the saw fish and the Sea
Urchin could not tell whether OF
not the rabbit gentleman was
there
But he must have been there fo~
otherwise there would have been
no canal digging. Uncle Wiggily
started digging little way up
from the place on the sand where
the ocean waves come in. He left
little hill of sand between this
end of his canal and the sea.
In a little while Uncle Wiggily
had dug a deep ditch in the sand
When it was almost up to the pool
where the saw fish was Hopping
around Uncle Wiggily said to the
creature with the funny nose:
Get ready now. In little while
III have the ditch finished. Then
the sea water will come in and
you can float down it into the
ocean again"
J rThank goodness for that, "
Wheezed the fish.
/ Seeing That his ditch was deep
enough, Uncle Wiggily hopped to
the end nearest the beach pool.
There he kicked away the little
pile of sand between the wafer
and the ditch. At once the water
began to run out of the pool.
"Oh, my goodness! I'm going to
be stranded-left high and dry!
cried the fish.
Wait a minute" said Uncle
Wiggily. Before all the water had
run out Of the pool the rabbit hop
ped to the ocean end and kicked
away the sand pile there. In rush
ed the ocean water filling the can
al and it was deep enough for the
saw fish to swim back home, He
thanked the rabbit very much. And
if the fire cat will take the police
dog an ice cream cone to wash his
face with, I'll tell you next about
Uncle Wiggily and the sword fish
