DEMocRAcIEs MUST ARM

The nations of the world can be di-
vided into various groups. Not many of
the great powers can be definitely listed
among the democracies of the world.
Against their political philosophy one OBJ
serves dissatisfied nations, spurred for
ward by bellicose leaders and threaten
ing the peace of the world
Democracies possess certain advan-
tages in the way of additional freedom al
lowed individuals but candor compels the
admission that they suffer when compared
to the efficiency of nation ruled with an
iron hand. Undoubtedly, the progress of
the world and the proper development of
individuals depends upon the successful
existence of democratic governments and
it behooves citizens of democracies to keep
their eyes open when looking at the world
situation.
The idea that the people of the world
do not want war is firmly imbedded in
the minds of citizens of democratic coun.
tries. The idea may be correct but we
should not lose sight of the fact that i'm
proper leadership can propel a nation in.
to struggle and call forth supreme ex-
ertions on the part of patriotic people.
This is the dangerous fact that makes the
threatening positions of Hitler and Mus.
solini important and emphasizes the pos
sibility of sudden war on the part of ma
tions, like Russia and Japan, where there
is nothing like popular rule.
In the face of a world situation like
this it behooves democratic nations to thor
oughly arm themselves. Strength is the
only defense against arrogant aggression.
1t is the only force to deter ambitious
leadership from attempting to make i'm
perial gains. Many religious individuals
object to the money spent in this country
to support the army and the navy, refer
ring to it and thinking of it as money
thrown away. They often express the
comparison between the cost of battle
ship, for example, and school house, OF
make similar comparisons, to imply that
the money is being foolishly and uselessly
spent for non-productive and worthless
purposes.
Recently Ernest Dimnet, author of
THE Art of Thinking arrived in this
country from France, where he is well
known as Catholic clergyman. He en-
phasizes that hopeful men who advocate
disarmament must put their dreams away
for the time being, asserting that 'the
ornaments of democracies are needed to
keep peace in the world" Able Dimnet
does not believe that the democracies of
the world will have to go to war but he
thinks that they must be able to make such
show of force as to dissuade other ma
tons from attempting to carry out bellicose
aims and nationalistic ambitions.

WITCHCRAFT IN THE u. S.

News reports of "witchcraft MUIR
cause they were supposed to be eXerting
evil influences upon their neighbors, have
brought to light an unbelievable prev
alence of superstition in this land of civil
ization.
Investigations pursued in consequence
of these killings have revealed that in GER
tain sections the belief in witchcraft and
magic is as common as that which pre-
vailed during medieval times in Europe or
among African natives of the present.
One of the murders reported was
committed in order to obtain possession of
a magic book" in which was printed :
whoever carries this book is safe from all
enemies; can not die, nor be drowned in
any water, nor burn up in any fire" and
so on.
1t is estimated that in the United
States not less than 10000 professional
"priests and priestesses' of voodooism
fortune-telIing and other charlatanry
make living by playing upon the ignor-
ance and credulity of superstitious people.
They even number among their dupes
many persons of wealth, education and
social prestige. There is no accounting
for how they get that way.
But the fact remains that America is
still a land of automobiles, airplane,i,
radios-and belief in witcheraft.
