one can accurately predict what might happen
in the next 48 hours.
Listening to the Presidents last fireside talk,
I was deeply impressed when he told how the
great dams in the West are opening up new
fertile land to the poor pathetic people in the
dust bowl know that country well and realize
the need for the great work the President is
having done.
Train Runs Into Dust Storm .
When was young girl and used to go out
West. the plains stretched green and fertile as
far as one could see. What contrast that was
to conditions existing now. Last year when
was coming home from Colorado. the train rode
out Of beautiful clear sunshine into dust storm.
Every light in the train had to be turned on and
it was as dark as night for five hours.

for the future.
The President has given us,
I think, a clear picture of
what his broad objectives are,
and he has told us what he
hopes can be accomplished in
the next few years. I can't
see why anyone should be
surprised If the President
finds it necessary to change

day to day. Things are so un-

ing thick and fast, but I think the President
made it clear in his talk that he intends to do
everything in his power to keep this country
out Of war.
Although the situation abroad could hardly
look blacker, think the world is making prog.
ress toward lasting peace. II the events oc-
curing now had happened 20 years ago. world
war would have been declared In "a hours. At
least now the nations are desperately trying to
find way out.
The frightful slaughter in China and the ter.
rible weapons Of war with which the nations are
arming have impressed people everywhere with
the horror Of war. In my opinion, Europe is suf.
fering from fear psychosis rather than con.
sciousness Of war.
Faith in His Convictions
OF course, there always will be strife and fric-
tion in the world because without strife we would
not get anywhere. But the time is coming when
we will realize that we must strive TOGETHER
instead Of apart, and think this is what the
President is trying so hard to bring about now
The President is convinced, believe, that
right or wrong, he must carry on the way he
has been-changing sometimes, compromising at
other times, but always searching for some way
to help humanity.
Faith in ones convictions and the courage to
fight for them is the greatest gift man can
have. And this the President has! But only
too often that very quality drives a man until 1t
breaks his health and his heart in the end. We
have seen that happen in the White House be-
fore. hope we will not see it again.
