The utterances in the handouts
struck back.
So it is that the pres, agents
of Agriculture are desperately at
tempting to find a real solution
to the problem and salve the
wounds of all concerned with po-
tent potions of propaganda.
BONUS PROSPECTS
James E. Van Zandt. comman-
der of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, recently discussed his views
on the possibility of passage of the
bonus with a group of Scribes
gathered around his luncheon
table.
He was asked if he believed
there had been an increase in
sentiment for payment of the ad-
juSted compensation certificates
judging by his recent trip around
the United States.
Citing an instance which oc-
Cured in Spokane, Wash. the
VFW commander said that last
year he had been invited to speak
at a gathering in that community
but before he made his address Re
advised officials he was planning
to discuss the merits of the bonus.
Officials, he said, refused to al
low a discussion of the bonus, con
tending it was a controversial sub
ject. Van Zandt told how he
picked up his hat and left"
This year, however, according
to Van Zandt, the same officials
invited him to speak in Spokane
and address himself entirely to
the bonus question in order to ap-
pease the interest Of the audience.
According to the contentious of
the commander, politicians and
public officials are much less hesi-
tant to climb on the platform and
discuss and advocate bonus pay
ment in order to assure themselves
of a better standing in the fight
that is to be one of the most inter
esting in the next session.
DOUBLE SERVICE
Of the 96 members of the Sen
ate, only six have seen double
service"
The half-dozen were once
elected to the Senate, then retired,
and later reelected to return to
the upper branch of Congress.
They are Senators Thomas P.
Gore, Democrat, of Oklahoma;
James Hamilton Lewis, Democrat
of Illinois; Mathew M. Nicely,
Democrat of West Virginia; Alva
B. Adams, Democrat of Colorado;
Peter G. Gerry, Democrat of
Rhode Island, and the Republi-
can Leader Charles V. McNary,
of Oregon.
Gore retired from the Senate
in 1921 to be returned in 1880,
Lewis retired after active service
in the World War and came back
in 1890; Nicely was defeated in
1928, but was returned in 1880;
Adams served from May, 1923 to
December, 1924 but was retired
and did not return until 1882.
Senator Gerry left the Senate in
1929, but returned in 1884, while
Senator McNary, who had been
appointed to an office which eX
pired November S, 1918, was again
appointed on December II, 1918
to another term.
The Washington times., 1935-12-27

Fortunately for the future Of
our national security and our
national honor Senator Hiram w.
Johnson Of California is still a
member of the Committee on
Foreign Relations.
No President, of either political
party, has ever been able to influ-
ence the California statesman in
the faithful discharge of his high
duty as a member of this THE
Great Committee of the Senate" !"
No personal, no political ambi-
ton has ever tempted Senator
Johnson to any departure from
the path of duty as he saw 1t in
his consideration of questions OF
foreign policy.
In the mighty struggle to main.
tain that American control OF
foreign policy, for which the Con-
stitution of the United States pro-
.videS. the leadership Of Senator
johnson has prevailed under both
Democratic and Republican Ad-
miniStrationS.
He has ScrupulouSly respected
that power of initiative in negotia
ton which the Constitution gives
to the President. In turn he has
firmly insisted on every President
respecting the power of the Sen
ate to exercise the final control
over American foreign policy fol
which the Constitution provides.
Then, too, there is another rea'
son for the success Of the leader
ship of Senator johnson in the
shaping of our foreign policy in
recent years. Better than any
other Senator, Mr.. johnson com
prehends the underlying princi-
Piles of American foreign policy.
CONSISTENT
He does not take one part of
The Farewell Address for his own
and repudiate another part. He
has always clearly realized that
unless the Congress provides for
the Common Defense the power
of the President in the conduct
OF foreign relations and the
power of the Senate in the final
control of foreign policy will be
undermined.
'It is our true policy to steer
clear of permanent alliances
with any portion of the foreign
world" said Washington in The
Farewell Address.
But Washington also warned
the American people in that
same immortal valedictory of
the Importance of "taking care
always to keep ourselves, by
suitable establishments, on a re-
spectacle defensive posture"
BY suitable establishments, .
Washington meant our military
and naval establishments, thu
armed forces of the United States
Senator johnson has consist
emily upheld both the foreign and
defense policy of the Father o.
His Country. And for this logi'
and consistency the California
statesman has his reward in his
leadership of the Senate and the
country today in matters affect
ing the common defense and
foreign policy.

several well-written handouts.
The handouts accomplished the
task temporarily. They informed
the housewife that she need have
no fears, as the price of potatoes
to the consumer would not be ap-
preciably increased.
They said that the growers
would not receive any material
increases in their prices and that
consequently the price to the con-
sumer would not be burdenSome.
Then the growers began to
kick. They wanted to know what
benefits were in the law for them
if they were not to receive better
prices.
There came the move among
certain women of prominence to
attempt a program of grow your

WHY DOESN'T WISHING
WORK?

WHY DOESN'T WISHING
WORK?
Why don't our dreams come
true? Why won't our wishing
work?
WISH HARD ENOUGH AND
YOU'LL GET WHAT YOU
WANT" that's the credo of the
modern world. Our fathers had
a similar notion when they said
HITCH YOUR WAGON TO 4
STAR" But we've gone further
We believe We can make the
stratosphere merely by concen.
trating upon it. And. of course,
bowling hard enough against any
other destiny.
Yet, somehow, it doesn't work.
The world is getting fuller and
fuller of people who want to be
something they aren't. File clerks
who want to be writer's. House
wives who'd like to be singers.
Millinery salesladies who yearn to
be dancers. And gas station at
tendants who firmly believe they
could mae Clark Gable look like
wad Of waste.
But is it getting them any.
where? It is not. Yet all their
lives they've wished and wished
AND WISHED. That, according
to all the Success Books, should
work, plenty and pronto. But it
doesn't. And there's the devil to
pay!
SOMETHING WRONG
For the frustrated yearner, who
was once merely the village joke,
is rapidly becoming Public Prob
lem No. /. Homes are breaking
and divorce, rolls swelling because
Mary Jones thinks she ought to
be a Villa Gather. And you'd be
surprised to know how mtny Of
last years grads can't see jobs in
the shipping room because they
want to Groom over the air waves.
But why? If wishing really
works, why doesn't it work for
them?
Because there's something wrong
with the wishing.
Nine times out of ten, we don't
know what we're wishing or why
we're wishing it - and wouldn't
like it if we got it.
These Yearners, for example.
They say they want to LIVE, and
are ready for a fuller. freer life.
AS proof, they point to the fact
that they simply can't stand"

Our Foreign Policy
Ru James T. Williams, Jr.

>Senator johnson from the records
of the four Senators of the United
States, who have had most to say
in recent months about scrap
ping the American policy Of
neutrality.
These four Senators, Pope, of
Idaho; Nye, of North Dakota;
Clark, of Missouri ,and Bone, o.
Washington, have either voted
against providing for the common
defense or failed to be recorded
when measures for building it up
were subjected to a roll call.
These four Senators appear to
be as ignorant of the underlying
principles of American foreign
policy as Senator johnson is
informed about them.
These four Senators appear to
be as indifferent or as hostile
to the building up of the COM
mon defense as Senator johnson
is Loyalty concerned in that re-
gard.
These four Senators are the
political darlingS of the press of
more than one foreign country,
the newspapers of which attack
Senator johnson for his patriotic
stand in support of American in
dependence, American security
and American honor.
But here, too, the great states
man from California has his re-
ward. 1t was of such American
patriots as he has shown him
self to be that George Wash
ington said in The Farewell Ad-
dress:
"INSIDIOUS WILES"
against the insidiOus wiles
of foreign influence, 1 cOnjure
you to believe me, fellow cit
izenS, the jealousy of free peO-
pie ought to be constantly
awake; since history and ex.
perience prove that foreign in
fIuence is one of the most
baneful foes of republican gov
ernment. But that jealousy, to
be useful, must be impartial;
else it becomes the instrument
of the very influence to be
avoided, instead of defense
against it.
Excessive partiality for one
foreign nation, and excessive
dislike of another, cause those
whom they actuate to see dan
ger only on one side, and serve
to veil and even second the arts
of influence on the other.
Real patriots who may resist
the intrigueS of the favorite,
are liable to become suspected
and 0diOuS; while its tools and
dupeS uSurp the applause and
confidence of the people to sur
render their interests"
To the militarists of Japan and
the pacifists of Great Britain and
their tools and dupes in this
country the patriotism of Senator
johnson is no doubt suspected
and odiouS." This fact, however.
only enhances the respect and
gratitude which the American
people have for the loyalty and
logic which Senator johnson of
California always upholds and de-
fendS the cause of America
against the world.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1885
Leading the Program

The bills provding standardized leave in the Govern
men service deserve the position they have been given
at the top of the legislative programs Of Government en-
ploye organizations.
One of these measures would curtail sick leave to
fifteen days. but would permit of accumulation Of such
leave over period of years while the other would stand
ardize annual leave at thirty days year.
Both bills passed the House without any considerable
opposon in the last session and the Senate
calendar with favorable reports from that bodys Civil
Service Committee.
Inequalities uhich haze arisen in the Government
service because of UGryng provisions for eGUe prIU-
HegeS and the confusion Uhich has resulted from
mSaDpLicGtiOn of these reUiSJOnS UOHLd be entirely
eliminated through application of these neW bills.
THE MEASURES CANNOT BE BROUGHT WITHIN.
THAT CATEGORY OF EXPENSIVE LEGISLATION
WHICH IS WORRYING THE TAXPAYER BECAUSE
IT CAN BE AND HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED
THAT THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE BILLS
WOULD COST THE TAXPAYERS VIRTUALLY
NOTHING.
The sick leave BILL although it would make better pro-
vision for employees who might become i'll, certainly
would not increase the amount of sickness and therefore
it would cost no more than the present rules governing
sick leave.
The annual leave bl while setting aside thirty days
for vacation purposes would not increase the cost OF
Government appreciaby because it would not be neces-
sarv to employ additional workers. the administrators
of offices being left the discretion to determine when an
employe could take his vacation without upsettng the
routine of his office.
Armed with the simple justice of these two bills the
Government employees and their friends should not find
it difficult to push them to final enactment.
Once that is accomplished opportunity will come to de-
and the other reforms in personnel policy which would
improve the efficiency of the Government service

ASPARAGUS PLANTING

Those who are thinking of in
creasing their acreage of asparagus
would do very well to seriously con-
slider the proposition of planting
this fall rather than next spring,
according to Waldo w. Skuse, coun-
ty extension agent. The only haz-
ard is that if the winter is unusual
ly severe, the crowns might not be
firmly enough established to sue
cessfully stand the winter, but
other advantages such as the saw
ing of time and increased growth
of the plants appear to strongly off
set the winter hazard. It would be
well to complete the setting out of
crowns by October /. .-,->s
