America Outgrows Jingoism

II is gratifying that throughout the whole range
of what may probably 80 down in history as the
"Panay incident" the temper Of the American people
has refused to be stampeded.
Early press headlines were disposed to play up
the war scare ansle hut editorial phrase-makers
quickly sensed a popular disposition to take a level
headed view Of the situation. Although to compare
the bombing and sinking of the L. :. gunboat Panay
in the Yangtse river near Marking, with the historic
sinking of the b~attleship Maine in the harbor of
Havana, Cuba, nearly forty years ago is inaccurate,
a comparison of national reaction then and now is
interesting.
Remember the Maine was the battle-cry at
Ell Caney and San Juan. The blasting of the warship
had been one Of the major outward causes of the
Spanish War. The wave of popular Indignation at
the time needed only the space of a few weeks, from
mid February to mid-April to eliminate in a formal
declaration of war against Spain. To be sure there
We're other causes.
1t is hard to imagine a similar action in 1888.
Perhaps the memory of the World War and the long
series of incidents" that led up to the open breach
with the Central Powers is still too fresh. Oldsters
who were active during those stirring times had their
fill of the horrors of war. Youngsters have been
brought up in a world shattered by the aftermath
of 1914-1S, can see bloody conflicts already In pro
gress in the world and have perhaps grown slightly
callousedto recurring %outbursts of international ban
ditry.
For these reasons the majority of men and
women who form what is loosely termed public
opinion will doubtless think long and hard before
committing themselves to any moves calculated to
send our armies and ships and planes to fight a
war abroad.
BY nature peaceful, America must recognize the
need for adequate military preparedness. Our disposi-
tion to be "slow to wrath" must not be Interpreted
as a repetition of the old "peace at any price" slogan.
The world today might be likened TO conditions in
some OF our underworld-ridden cities. The gangsters
are running loose but a peace-lovins citizen can hard
ly help matters by joining up with the mob.

The Gospel Mark

Golden Text: Mark 1914.
Mark is not only the shortest but
the oldest of the four gospels. 1t
was probably written very soon aft
er 20 A. d. Inasmuch Jas it ante
dates Matthew, Luke and John, ii
is of the greatest value and author
ity from the historical point of view.
But its author is one Of the minor
characters in the New Testament.
The son of Mary. in whose house in
Jerusalem the early church held its
meetings, Mark was associated with
Paul and Barnabas on their first
missionary tour, but deserted them
halfway. Paul was so incensed at
this evident faint-heartedness on
Marks part that he refused to take
him on his second tour.
Mark unquestionably wrote his
gospel for a Gentle public. for he
often translates Aramaic words, and
is careful to explain Jewish customs.
There is ground for believing that
Rome was the community he had
in mind. Certainly there is a close
connection between this gospel and

The advantages of living in an irrigated area
are many. Among them is one that few such regions
have yet experienced but which the lower Yellow
stone valley around Sidney and Fairview, has Just
recently eceived-electricity brought to the farms
by rural distribution systems much like those of
cities.
High line distribution of electricity to ordin-
airy farms is not feasible because the farms are
too far apart and too many miles of line would be
required for each farm serviced. In an irrigated
valley such as the area around Fairview and Sidney,
however, homes are close nough to one another so
the cost of building transmission lines is not pro-
hibitive and as a result, the entire valley is now ell
certified with federal help under the rural e~lectrifica-
ton administrations program.
The Yellowstone valley farmers now have ell
ectricity brought to their homes for light and power
1t is brought under a cooperative distribution sys-
at the switchboard in Sidney and distribute it over
ting up the system and it is supposedly on a sound
engineering basis, so final success now rests with
the farmers themselves and the efficiency of their
administration in conducting such a cooperative
business enterprise. Farmers in many other sections
have shown themselves competent to handle cooper
alive business of like organization. however, so
there is little doubt that the electrification project
In the Yellowstone valley will be a success just as ir-
rigation has been a success in that valley. And If
Identification is successful in the Sidney-Fairview
valley, it will doubtless be tried in several other
places because there are In this state a num-
Der of irrigated valleys suited just as well az the
lower Yellowstone to rural electrification.

Diagnosis

For the treatment of disease we
pay willingly, especially If treatment
is associated with an operating the
alter or with some mysterious cleo
trio machine. But for the diagnosis
of disease, for finding out what eX-
actly Is wrong with us, we expect
to pay little or nothing. And We are
willing to trust almost any opinion
if it is given with assurance.
Perhaps this Is because the plum
Der. the radio engineer, the automo-
bile mechanic charge only for the
repairs they make. We are used to
that system and fail to realize that
the human body is a machine far
more delicate, complicated and in
dividual than any radio. The great
est experts in medicine freely admit
that they have often made mistakes
in diagnosis.
Because of their blind faith in in
competent or fraudulent dispensers
OF ''cures," some people pay large
sums of money for the treatment OF
cancer, yet never suffer from can
GER at all. Afterwards they write
grateful testimonials to the man
who is supposed to have cured them.
This is true also of other diseases.
If anyone doing a private bust
ness in any Of the so-called healing
arts offers free examination. |.
means one OF two things: either his
examination is worth nothing. or he
is r~epaying himself for the examina-
ton by his charge for the treat
ment. The second alternative Is the
more dangerous. 1t means that the
examiner is under a temptation TO
prescribe treatment In order that
he may get paid for his service.
Be willing to pay generously for
diagnosis. 1t will saw you money.
1t may even saw your life.

The Need for Better Homes

A welcome move in the direction of authentic
as opposed to synthetic recovery. is the evident dis
position on the part of Administration leaders, bust
ness men and even a lethargic Congress to pull to-
sether in giving the nation better and cheaper homes
through amendments to the present Federal Hous-
ing Act.
According to the President. we need 500, 900
new homes a year. for five years. With liberalized
financing arrangements, a family wishing to build
a $4,000 home can do so with around $500 cash and
pay for the balance in twenty years at Il Oh inter
est. Eight hundred thousand times $4,000 is a lot
OF dollars and such a huge sum, spent for raw ma
terials, labor, machinery and incidental consumer
products would do more to speed recovery than all
the governmental 'pump-priming' since 1898. Such
a program would require, for instance, six billion
board feet of lumber, 81 million barrels of cement.
y million gallons of paint and varnish. 5000
bathroom, kitchen and heating installations. more
than a billion dollars in wages for labor.
II building material costs can be kept within
reason and labor stabilized to a point where it is
reliable over a long-term program, indications point
to a great rehousing boom in the Spring. Every
American family wants a home of is cwn. and
should have it.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-When the
special session was called six weeks
ago. il became evident from the
first that Congress was in a mood
TO assert its pre-New Deal independ-
ence. Business wanted relief from
an ill-distributed tax burden and
some assurance of a stable govern
ment policy toward labor. Labor fac
tons. engaged in an internal row.
demanded Qualification Of laws af-
fecting collective bargaining. Besides
this. the Understanding problems
of relief, reorganization Of govern
ment departments, regional plan
ming, balancing of the budget, and a
threatening foreign situation all
called for timely. intelligent action.
The four-point legislative pro-
gram presented by the White House
which had been prepared during the
relatively serene summer months
failed to click with Congressional
independents who were in no mood
TO tune up the ink-pads for another
rubber-stamp session. But the work
ins leadership both in the House
and Senate was faced with the
many-horned dilemma of having to
cling to the Presidents Must"
schedule, throttle opposition moves
and 1t necessary stall for time until
dependable majorities could be
swung 5olidly behind a more up-to-
date sofernment policy to combat
the politically ominous Roosevelt
Recession"
Plans To Boost Business
Immediate plans to help business
arr still largely in the conference
sta-e. Passage of the Housing Bill
=. The House was the first concrete
step to carry out the Presidents
program to stimulate a building
boom. Other moves Gin the works
will be designed to help the railroads
with higher rates, easy credit, and
recommended consultations. Pub
lie utilities may be given a breathing
spell. and the present tax structure
will be modified to relieve middle
sized" businesses of their present
oppressive burdens.
No doubt affected by the verbal
men at the National Association of
Manufacturers convention dds
cussed last week., the House re-
fused to add another hamstring to
business when it voted TO send the
Blacla-Connery Wages and Hours
Bill back to the Labor Committee.
House spokesman doubted whether
1t would eve be revived. The Bill.
backed by Clio and opposed by the
powerful ALL lobby, was killed
largely through a blockade action
led by Southern Congressman who
affected a coalition among oppos-
ing Democrats and Republicans to
defeat the pet Administration mea-
sure.
Farm Bill Has Many Hurdles
The Farm Bill experienced a bet
ter fate. The House passed its own
version of the Bill and awaited sim
liar action by the Senate which came
nine days later. Differences be-
tween the two measures are being
ironed out preparatory to final pas
sage and presentation for White
approval sometime in early
1883 unless the House refuses to
Senate changes or if friends
OF the Wages and Hours Bill carry
their threat to scuttle Farm Re-
lief after their Bill, for which they
traded votes, was not passed. A
veto is also possible because Of the
McNary-Boileau Amendment, which
