FINDING MIDDLE PATH IS DEMoC-
RACY'S JOB
(By BRUCE CATION

Secretary of State Cordell Hull told the
American Legion convention the other DAY
that our government is trying to follow a
middle path between isolation and entan-
clement in the affairs of other nations. de
might we'll have added that it is an INFER
nally tough job but one which is very much
worth doing.
For the very essence of democracy, af-
ter all, is this attempt to find and follow a
practical middle path-in foreign policy,
and in domestic affairs as we'll. And what
makes being a democrat so tough is that
this middle path grows progressively hard
err to find as the problems of this modern
world multiply
A good part of the world has fallen into
the hands of extremists of late. In one
country after another the people have been
won over to the idea that there is one plan,
and one plan only, which can help them;
and it is getting so that you can hardly
pick up your newspaper without reading
of some spot where people have been exc
cuted, imprisoned or bombed from the sky
for daring to disagree. -.
When we say that as Americans and
lovers of liberty we disagree with such
measures, we tell only half of the story.
The alternative to rule by one or another
set of extremists is the charting of course
halfway between the rival camps.
Democracy can survive only by proving
that it is possible to find such a course; by
proving that men still have enough good
sense and good will to compare ideas, to
take the best that the rival extremists have
to offer, to compromise and harmonic and
blend them so that people do not have to
be bombed and bludgeoned into obedience.
1t isn't easy to do this. 1t calls for hard,
sustained thinking, for critical examina-
ton of all slogans and panaceas, for rec
ignition of the often-forgotten fact that
there are few paSsable shortcuts to the
millennium. 1t compels men to realize that
they cannot gain respect for their own
rights without respecting the rights of
others, and that human nature is so consti-
tuted that an enduring social, economic or
political system can be erected only on a
basis of mutual consent.
All of this, to be sure, is perfectly IA
miliar to US, as citizens of the worlds old
est democracy. Yet we must remind our
selves constantly that democracy will con-
tinue to work only if we take the trouble
to make it work
Finding this middle course is unspectac-
ular and uninspiring work. 1t would be a
lot easier to resign everything to the hands
of some leader and contribute cheers to the
housekeeping storm troopers. But in the
end, if our vision Of America is to survive,
we must make a success of this unspectacu-
lar and uninspiring job-or see the bright
est values of our national tradition dis
solve.

allow him to look you over. Don't
take any kind of tonic unless it is
recommended by the doctor you
consult for it is likely to do more
harm than good.
L. D.-Will it be better for me
to remain here or go to another
place?
Ans: The only strings that held
you there was your wife but
you two are apparently through.
You could make a better showing
in life were you to make change
of cities.
A. FL would like for you to
tell me about my wife's property.
Should she sell it as she has in
mind?
Ans: 1t would be a good idea if
she could get sale for the prop
erty. She isn't getting any benefit
from it as it is now and to have
the cash in the bank would make
her feel a lot better.
J. E. Pts my husband still in
love with me?
Ans: He still thinks of you very
often and would like to have you
back with him but he, too, is
stubborn and will not give in. Ar
range to meet your husband and
talk the whole thing over once
more and come to some kind of
peaceful understanding.
L. C.-Will this certain man
write to me and will mean any
thing in his life?
Ans: No, he isn't going to write
you and he won't mean anything in
your life. Forget him and go with
some nice young man in your city.
S. G.-My husband doesn't want
me to visit any of my girl friends,
although he doesn't mind them Wis
iting me. What should 1 do? I
am thinking of going on out any
way.
Ans: You have a good husband
and you should respect his wishes
for the time being. He isn't going
to be this jealous always and if you
don't give him any cause to doubt
you he will be glad to have you
visit your friends in a few months.

G. F. d. was living with a
man and he left me and went back
to his wife and he now wants to go
with me and live with her. Tell me
what l should do?
Ans: No one has to tell you
right from wrong =. but will say
that you had better give up this
man and do so Immediately. He
is selfish, cOnceited, and very un-
reasonable if he thinks that he can
live with his wife and still enjoy
your company.
A. FL would like for you to
please tell me why my grand
mother acts funny towards me dur
ing these past three months?
Ans: If you will notice YOU
will find that she is acting peculiar
towards everyone. l am inclined
to believe that she isn't feeling as
well as she did and it isn't anything
personal that you have done to
make her take her present attitude.
A. M. R.-Why doesn't my man
friend ever carry me out and what
should l do about it?
Ans.:. Whoever gave you the
idea that you had to sit at home
night after night alone? If YOU
ever expect to see anything you
had better make up your mind
right away to see it alone or with
some other fellow for the one you
are with now will never consent to
show you around your city.
G. HI am a young lady trying
to go through college without very
much aid from my family. Tell me
if l should continue or should l try
to get married?
Ans: Don't give up now Z.
tough it out for the balance of the
year and you will be able to get
good employment next summer.
Forget marriage until you get a
regular boy friend which will no
doubt be sometime in the near fu-
ture.
M. L. N.-Will ever be in good
health again, or has some one got
me fixed to stay i'll? Do need
good tonic?
Ans: You aren't fixed. You
need to go to see a good doctor and

Efforts of the International Asso-

affiliate, to establish standard wages,
hours and working conditions for the
aircraft industry, has been substan-
tally furthered recently by several
agreements on the West coast, which
recognize local branches of this or
ganization as exclusive bargaining
representatives and provide for
prompt negotiations regarding wages,
hours and conditions of work. Such
agreements have been secured with
the Boeing Company, at Seattle, and

other agreements are reported as in
process of completion.

SKILLED WORKERS
In DEMAND

Approximately fifty per cent of the
orders from employers coming into
the Hamilton office of the Ohio State
Employment Service since first Of the
year are openings for skilled workers
IN the various trades such as pattern
makers, tool makers, machinists, me-
chanics, lathe operators, and machine
operators for number of industries.
Such demand, according to Man
ager W. A. Betscher, of the Hamilton
office, indicates youth Of the land
should take stock of the opportunities
for apprenticeship in these indus
tries, instead of continually striving
for employment in the overcrowded
white collar fields.
Orders are increasing too since
employers are becoming more familiar
with work of the service, so that now
it is being hard pressed to supply the
demand for qualified workers.
Demand for skilled workmen in
the building trades is especially press
ing at this time," Mgr. w. A. Betscher
declared.

That was why labor union used to
be just a crime
Over in Kentucky labor union is
crime, even now
That is one of the things that go

In a democracy, don't forget the
judges
Because they tell the president and
the congress what they can do
Of course, constitution is all right
to have
If you get the right kind Of judges
To tell you what the constitution
means
At the right time
The president he wears a tall hat
Senators, they wear long black coats
named after a prince
Only ones who wear long robes, to
hide their legs
Are the judges Of the top courts,

Over in England they still wear a

But here it is just long black

Some Of them wear a nice big beard

Judges have been like the holy men

They have most of the holy words

Sometimes they don't agree; but
you can never tell which they will
do
But they are a part Of the safety
