OPEN ROAD IS FRIENDLY

ONE Of the best ways to convince yourself
~ that most of your fellow citizens are,
after all. pretty friendly and kindly folk Is
to take lesurely vacation tour by auto
mobile
Such a trip will bump you up against fill
ing station employees. garage men, inn keepers
housewives who have Rooms FOR Tourists
on signs in front Of their homes tea room
hostesses. lunch counter mattresses, and an
other automobiles
And nothing could be much more sur
prising, or pleasing, than the way in which
80 per cent Of these people will turn out to
be men and women whom you are glad to
have for ow-countrymen.
Maybe the automobile has brought
change in our national character maybe the
people Of this country always were pretty
nice; whichever way it is, there isn't any
medicine much better for a man than the
series of personal contacts that arise during
an extended motor tour.
Writers are fond OF saying that Americans
are hurried, discourteous, irritable snappish.
places: but the motorist usually has a different
story TO tell
You can travel thousands OF miles without
finding, for instance. a filling station man
who doesn't go out of his way to be helpful
and obliging. You usually could write on a
postage stamp the names OF all the people
at overnight stopping places who are any
thing but exceedingly pleasant.
A telephone booth could hold all the
peevish or inattentive mattresses you are likely
TO encounter.
And If you get through moderately long
trip without encountering a good many other
tourists whom you really would like TO know,
you are far less fortunate than most.
All this. of course is an old story to any
one who has done much cross-country driv-
ing But it is worth repeating somehow; for
II provides a wholesome and encouraging
background for the days grist Of news, which
now and then does get little depressing.
Read the days record of our follies, our
crimes and our passions. and YOU sometimes
are brought close to despair. Get out and see
your fellow countrymen as only a rowing
motorst can see them. and you get back your
faith.

Lies Good
BY AUSTIN JAMES

BY AUSTIN JAMES
You know I've lived a funny LIFE
OF happiness and yet Of strife:
I've done some right and then some
wrong,
I've cried-out too, I've sung a song,
I've had my hours of dire despair.
But found some gladness lurking
there,
I've been in prison. yet been free,
In all, life's been quite good to me.
I've gotten up and fallen down,
I've had a smile-then had a frown,
A broken heart-a chilling fear,
But music. too. and ears 70 hear;
I've known the worst and had the
best,
I've grown quite tired but found
my rest:
And though quite blind. with eyes
TO see,
I've visioned love-life's good 70 me.
Yes. I've been bad and I'VE been
good,
And though quite dumb, I'VE under

IT'S UP TO CUBA

CREDIT is due the Republicans for uphold
~ ing the hand Of President Roosevelt in
the Cuban crisis. Representative Hamilton
Fish Of New York, ranking Republican on
the house foreign relations committee, has
assured the President Of that support. This
is especially gratifying. because the Roose-
Welt policy in the island republic IS re-
vcrsal Of the virtual alliance with the Machado
dictatorship maintained cy the Republican
administration in Washington
There have been two dangers
one was the danger that President Roose-
Welt needing bipartisan cooperation in the
domestic recovery program. might try to buy
that cooperation by continuing the Hoover
policy Of backing Machado against the Cuban
people
Fortunately The Republicans do not appear
to be exertlng such pressure. and the Presi-
dent seems to be strong enough TO ignore IL
II t should develop.
The other danger that a latent Amer
lean Chauyinism might fare up in popular de-
mands for the United States to move into
Cuba with the army and navy
Military Intervention always is possibility
under the Plat amendment and the treaty
which established an American protectorate
over Cuba, but President Roosevelt from the
beginning has proved his reluctance to use
that ,egal weapon of Intervention. He is using
other methods first.
This is not only the fair course; it also is
the only intelligent policy II American troops
go into Cuba we then shall become responsible
for restoring peace and order perhaps long
and difficult task. We also shall become re-
sponsible for the new Cuban regime. which
may turn out little better than the Machado
dictatorship.
Moreover We shall increase Latin American
distrust OF the United States at a time of
general international complications, when we
need all the friends we can get.
It is possible that the Cuban terror having
been allowed to grow for so long through
state department support Of Machado, con-
ccivably may create a situation in which
President Roosevelt will be forced to intervene.
We hope not. For however justified, it would
be costly to the United States in every way
The President still has other weapons. He
still can withdraw diplomatic recognition from
Macnado. If there is a general revolution to
overthrow the dictator. the President can per-
nit shipment of arms to the people, that they
NAV have fair chance against Machado's
guns
In the long run. no outside force can i'm
pose peace upon Cuba or give the people
freedom from their oppressors. That is job
for the Cubans themselves.

We can insure each other fair play through

We have talked a great deal about the

MANY people have been led 10 believe that
the salvation OF the world depended on get

This curious doctrine began with the notion
that il was no longer possible for any nation
10 maintain peace II other nations went TO
war. that war represented the one great han

hope Of the world rested on a setup that would
eliminate conflict. The attractiyeness of this
dream originated IN its false premises.

people which makes it impossible for them not

Infestation With Broad Tapeworm Grows

For the most part, however, the
fish are infested from sewage con-
tanning human excretions.
II is possible also that some Of
the distribution and multiplication
of tapeworms takes place from
such animals as wolf. bear, fox and
dog, in which this tapeworm will
grow.
The person who becomes infest-
ed with this tapeworm is likely 70

that the symptoms caused may not

stance TO cause patients 10 seek
the attention Of a physician.
However, it is possible for any
competent physician TO relieve the
patient promptly OF the infestation
by treating with drugs which de-
stroy the tapeworm and cause it to

IN DcfenSe Of Publishers

DUT today vigorously would de-
I'D fend the final clause in the code,
which does ask that the newspaper
business be accepted on a basis quite
unlike that established for other in
dustries. refer TO Nothing in this
code shall be construed as authoriz-
ing the licensing Of publishers"
1t may be argued that licensing
is the very backbone of the national
recovery system. And get I think
II must be apparent that this can
not be used in the case OF daily
newspapers.
1t will not suffice to say that free
dom Of speech is guaranteed under
the Constitution. That guarantee
has been a willow wand during sew
eral critical periods OF our nations
history. There often has been CEN
sorship, although IL generally has
been called something else.
But very distinct check can be
put upon the free expression OF
papers. even though no outrigh,
censorship has been set up. The
pitiful estate OF radio today is evi-
dence of the manner in which this
may be done under a licensing sys-
tenn.
Save in cases OF obscenity and
blasphemy. the federal radio COM
mission pretends 10 exercise no sort
Of censorship. Still. I recollect that
one Of CALIFORNIA; more fragrant
evangelists lost his license because
he made slanderous remarks about
other religious groups. He was and
is a prohibitionist and in other WAYS
a pest. And yet I do not think that
ne should have been silenced.
But the worst feature Of the gov
ernment's control over radio lies in
the way in which the broadcastipc
companies leap to anticipate the
Will Of Washington. This is not a
criticism aimed at the Roosevelt
administration. II also was true
under Hoover.
The head Of any station or chain
OF stations comes to have a feeling
in his bones that they would not
Ike this or probably would prefer
the other.

SOMEBODY USED HIS HEAD

ONE of the neatest tricks yet performed by
~ Uncle Sam in his recovery program
seems to have been turned along the edges of
the Navajo reservation at Shprock N. M. in
connection with a plague of grasshoppers and
a flock of turkeys
Grasshoppers became so numerous on the
reservation that they were destroying the
peach orchards and melon patches and
threatening the Indians with disaster. So an
intelligent federal officer spent 81, 400 on LOO
young turkeys.
The turkeys were turned loose where they
would do the most good. Result: The grass
hoppers are gone and the turkeys are fat;
and the latter will make fine Thanksgiving
dinners for the young men of the forest con-
servation corps.
In this doubtless unimportant little tale
there is evidence of sensible action by some
one which deserves due commentator. I'm
fortunately, the dispatches failed to give the
name of this unknown genius so he might
get due recognition for his feat.
