GENERAL CRAIG

Malin D. Craig, broad, gray,
so and a major general, be-
comes Chief of Staff Of the
United States Army at a time
when military preparation is a
most important question.
The English like to say that
the Battle of Waterloo was won
on the playing fields of Eton.
Classmates of General Craig
like to trace back his appoint
ment as boss of the Army to
the football fields of West Point.
When young Craig, a native
Of Missouri, got into the Acad-
emy he found himself not quite
ready for the stiff and special
lied course. This was natural
because he had missed not a
little schooling travelling about
the country with his family, his
father being an Army officer.
He may have been weak on
trigonometry but he was long on
quick-thinking in an emergency.
They found this out at the Point
during a football game in which
Craig was playing against Trim
ity College. He was carrying
the ball when he found himself
about to be hemmed in by his
opponents. Thereupon he
stopped and calmly booted the

will it require an increase in the
Navy's man power? If so, how
many additional men will be
enliSted?"
To the query, Secretary Swan
son replied:
"Well, probably. I can't say
to what extent, though. 1t Is
against the law for me to give
out information and, besides,
the State Department would
not like it,"
Another question:
Twill the Navy send a naval
observer to be in the Mediter-
ranean? The War Department
has sent an observer there, you
know"
Answer:
"That is a matter for the
State Department to announce"
Then:
"But, Mr.. Secretary, does the
State Department make all your
announcements"
No answer.
Mr.. Hull 1Diu be interviewed

representatives alone tOil do

And, the inference goes, they

tOiSh to retain the tGUor OF the
State Department.
To one of WaShington's news
sheets came the call the other
day that two SiameSe fighting
fish had mysteriouSly disap-
peared from their quarters in
the Department of Commerce
building.
A reporter rushed to the scene
and was told by a feminine Sec
retary that the guards had in
veStigated.
To the guard rushed the
scribe and was told the pro-
tector of the public knew
nothing of the incident.
Before leaving the guard room
the reporter glanced at a mem
orandum on the desk, saw his
name written thereon. 1t was
followed by the inscription:
Know nothing"

from every county in every State
and from families representing
both political parties.
There is no partisanShip in
the preparation of these studies
On which is based all sound ma
tional defense legislation.
There ought to be no partisan
ship in the consideration Of this
legislation.
There will be none if the
leaders of the Democratic and
Republican parties will unite
now in a declaration of high
purpose.
This declaration would set
forth the determination of the
party founded by Thomas JEFF
ferson and the party founded
by Abraham Lincoln to follow
the wise policy enunciated by
George Washington in the
warning that "One of the most .
effectual means of preserving
peace is to be prepared for
war"-that is to say prepared
to punish aggression against
the United States by an enemy
daring to attack this country.
All history teaches that ma
tional defense of the sort pro-
vided for in the Constitution is
the best national insurance
against the loss inflicted by
war.
MEET CHALLENGE
The political Reds, Pinks and
Yellows are attempting to de-
stroy the Common Defense by
boring from within. Their de.
struction of the Common De-
fenSe is only the first step in
their insidious assault upon the
American system of govern
ment of which the Constitution
is the cornerstone.
BY melting all American
youth enjoying the privilege of
high school and college educa-
ton to refuse to defend the Flag,
to despise the uniform of their
country and to insist that the
burden of it's defense shall de-
volve entirely upon American
youth denied the privilege of
higher education, these radical
sappers are spreading the propa-
ganda of sedition and treason
and acting as a clandestine
fetch and carry for Communism
and Communists.
If the Democrats and Repub-
licanS cannot present a united
front against the challenge pre-
sented by these alien intriguers
and their domestic tools and
dupes then the parties Of JEFF
ferson and Lincoln are badly
in need of a national purge.

BIZ Elsie Robinson

it springs from the lowest
depths of our nature that
nothing decent can ever go into
it or come out of it.
We know, now, that there is
no drama in those rolling
drums, those marching feet.
They are not the heroes they
imagine themselves to be, these
conquering heroes. They are
either driven slaves, pitiful
dupes, or unwilling murderers
and thieves.
And we know, too, that war is
unnecessary. Nations do not
NEED to go to war. They &C.
compiSh nothing by war. They
can end their disputes before
they Start-aS they must event
ually end them anyway-by
agreement, arbitration. War is
only a bestial blood-letting, or.
dered by tyrantS to beWilder
their dupes.
LISTENED BEFORE
There is the truth about war
the shameful, abominable
truth. Let us remember it! LET
US KEEP OUT OF TT ALL!
We CAN keep out of it if we
wish. We are not hysterical
peasants nor mindless robots.
WE ARE FREE MEN WITH
WILLS AND VOTES OF OUR
OWN AND WE CAN OUTLAW
WAR IF WE WISH. AND PRE-
VENT ANY PRESIDENT OR
ANY CONGRESS FROM DRIV-
ING US INTO TT.
We can stay alive-if we will.
We can keep ourselves clean
and whole and happy. We can
be free of crawling vermin and
putrid sores. We can prevent
our bowels from trailing on the
ground-and our eyes from ooz-
ing from their sockets-and our
jaws from falling at our feet.
And our women need not weep
out their hearts in an agony of
grief.
IT'S UP TO Us-we can pre-
vent war if we will. You-and
you-and YOU can prevent war.
Don't listen to the drums
nor the voices. Laugh at them
when they plead and rave,
threaten and warn - try to
shame or cajole us into helping
AS THEY SURELY WILL.
We listened before. We went
before. What happened? Have
you forgotten, so soon?
You have NOT forgotten. Do
not let them make you forget.
Refuse to fight or help the
fighting. Treat war as the
filthy thing that it is-and stay
free of it.

SIR FREDERICK

At oxford, Frederick Leith-
Ross was a master Of the in.
tricacies Of Latin verse but he
was lost to literature when Her
bert Asquith took him as Sec
retary.
Today Sir Frederick is the
Anthony Eden of the economic
side Of the British government.
He is only forty-three, but he has
the imposing title of "Chief
Economic Adviser to the Treas
ury." He is "the man behind"
the success of the managed cur.
rency plan which has brought
England out Of the woods of
depression.
For all of that, he does not
seem to be liked, particularly
by the Japanese military party
which is watching him very
closely and ith open suspicion
in China, where he is at pres
ent. England sent them there
last month, supposedly on a fact
finding mission, but the Jap
anese, among others, seem sat
isfied that his main object is
to build up British trade and
prestige and to get China to
tie up her currency with the
pound sterling.
Sir Frederick first went to
Tokyo to assure the Japanese
that if a question Of policy
was decided upon, he would
not act without consulting
them. However, Major General
1sogaya, Japan'S military at
tache to China, says bluntly:
"If Sir Frederick Leith.ROsS'
mission is for the good Of China
and Oriental peace, Japan will
welcome his activities, but If it
is not, Japan shall see that he
does not get very far"
That it" is quite an undip-
lomatic way to speak about
such an important English mis-.
sion. At the same time, it EN-.
phasizes the fact that Japan
is going to make hay in China
while the Western powers are
making whoopee in Europe.

Bill Connor (now commander

along with some other cadets
took an interest in young Craig.
They coached him in his
studies SO that he not only re-

to the top. General Macarthur,
whom he succeeds, says of him:
"NO better selection as Chief
