WAR CLOUDS AND
NATIONAL DEFENSE

Congress has before it a bill appro-
priating S543, ,341 900 for strengthening
of national defenses. There could be no
more appropriate time for consideration
and passage of such a measure. Nations
of the world are considering war. 1t is
high time for the United States to con-
slider peace
The proposed bill would add 500 new
fighting planes to Uncle Sans aerial
strength. Army experts have declared
that strength is less by a considerable
amount than it was five years ago, due
to antiquated equipment The bill, also,
would give the United States a peace
time standing army of 100000 men,
and add materially to the national guard
strength The figures sound large, but
they are not. Compared with the mil
lions under arms in European countries,
and with the many fighting planes in
service there, the proposed strength of
American defenses would be puny, even
at the larger figures.
The international picture today is not
an encouraging one. Japan and Soviet
Russia are at swords points over the
Manchukuoan border. Italy and Ethlo-
pia continue to war Britain is consoli-
dating military strength in the Libyian
desert against possible conflict. Nazi
Germany has issued orders for every
German-born resident of any country
to report to consulates, standing ready
for military service. France is drawing
secret alliances, one reputedly with Rus
sia, against the threat of war.
If the United States national lead
ers ignore the growing tension of the
world, and turn thumbs down on the
national defense bill, then it is because
their realization of what is needed is
stunted by political Desires Strengthen
ed defenses do not mean war. Lack of
defenses, however, may mean just that
The United States should not be vulner-
able

CALIFORNIA FORCES AHEAD
San Francisco Chronicle)

California is moving toward full recovery in
well organized formation.
Impressive is the analysis of the year 1895
made by the research department of the State
Chamber of Commerce. 1t shows that this state is
for going ahead in all lines. 1t is natural recov
cry. There is no laggard that results in unbal-
ance General business throughout the state showed
the best condition since 1881 gain of Is per cent
was registered over 1934And stepping right along
with general business was agriculture. Gross farm
income shot substantially above the previous year
and made gain Of 4312 per cent over the low
of the decline.
All the barometers of business were up De-
partment store sales led the nation in percentage
increase. Factory employment and pay rolls moved
upward. A highly favorable factor here is that tn
iurable goods industries, the last to rise after a
. depression, showed the sharpest upswing The
durable goods industries basic to all industries
and carry the heaviest employment load.
Bank debts and real estate activity were in
line with the other favorable indices.
That all activities fairly in STEP that
there is no marked disparity is the strongest
evidence OF broad natural recovery Time is
enlisted on the side Of increasing progress.

HIS LIFE HALLOWED
BY HIS DEEDS.

In world that sees too much of
greed and self seeking, the story of
Father Damien, so-called leper apostle
of Molokai, is an inspiration and proof
that the spirit of brotherly love is not
dead. His life was devoted to the service
of unfortunates. His death was martyr
dom.
The Belgian priest carried his teach
ings into the Hawaiian leper colony
where many more courageous man
would have feared to go. He ministered
to the physical and spiritual needs of a
class the world knows as outcasts. He
became one with them as victim of the
dreaded disease but to the last day of
his life he carried out the teachings of
the Master in way at which most other
men would have flinched. His life was an
inspiration in world devoted largely
TO self-seeking.

SAN DIEGO,S FAIR

The Pacific International Exposition,
San Diego's bid to the world, is open
again. Imperial Valley knows that it
was successful before, and the valley
hopes that its success will be far greater
in the second showing. The good wishes
are not entirely unselfish. The more peo-
pie visiting San Diego and the exposi-
tion, the more people will visit Imperial
Valley. Already the valleys fame has
spread far and wide through the me-
dium of its winter produce Now its eli
mate is beginning to win national recog-
milton. Those who pass through or visit
the valley during the fair will carry its
fame still farther.

How easy it is to mistake change
for progress. Progress involves
change, but all change is not prog
ress. The wheat sprout, pushing its
way through the soil toward the
sunshine is both change and prog
ress. The same wheat, matured, its
blades withered, droops and dies.
That. too. is change. But it is no
longer progress. 1t is disintegra-
ton.
We are told that the only con-
Stant thing in our universe Is
change. But it does not always spell
progress. 1t isn't always a change
for the better. The world changed
from the ox-cart to the auto. Prog
ress in, increased transportation and
communication But the principle
of the wheel remains fundamental.
Our country has changed from
rural to urban, from farmers to ar
tesans. Our problem is no longer
production but distribution. Scenes
have shifted, emphasis has been
realigned But one wonders II we
have really made progress in the
solution of the list that beset man
kind. I'm constrained to believe
that we had better stick to the prin-
ciple of the wheel. In this case the
wheel is our American system. At
ter all, has any better way been
devised? Let us not be so intent
upon change that we fail to take
the long look and see if it means
progress.

uscript of a short story that was a
little gem-3,500 words. With it was
a note from a woman who prefer
red anonymity. If the story was &C
cepted she would reveal her name
and claim the check after it was
printed. Naturally there was sus-
picion and researchers went to work
but could find no suggestion Of PR

explanatory note. Nothing was ever
heard from the author or was there
ever any kick-back as to its original

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-MaX Cor
don continues to be the wonder man
of theatrical production. Six years
ago he stepped from the obscurity
of a small time booking agency to
reVolutionize the formula of musical
reVueS with The Band Wagon, fca-
turing the Astaires.
The head-waggers called him a
fish in the pan. But Gordon con-
founded them by growing more am
bilious, more artistic each season.
Certainly this could not be the Max
Gordon Of the Broadway curbs, the
fellow who wangled split weeks for
third rate "piff- -aWners' in Hohokus
and Hackensack? But it was.
About two years after his meteor
ic rise he went back stage in Lon
don theatre to introduce himself to
Noel Coward. So fascinated was
Coward with this shy, almost inaI-
ticulate fellow, with such a passion
for the stage, they talked until 3 n.
m. And GORDON produced Coward's s
next play in New York.
This season he has produced the
two most significant plays, Jane
Ausens Pride and Prejudice" and
Mrs. Wharton's Ethan Frome." Last
season he proved he could be even
more spectacular than Ziegfeld with
The Great Waltz" A genius with
out guile, he still lunchs at drug
stores and smokes nickel cigars.
