we have warned all those
holding licenses to strictly OBJ

ways few who think they can
get away with illegal sales. Now
they must take the consequences.
l see no reason why the law
should be ignored by a few while

BYRD TELLS WHAT
INDIVIDUALS CAN
DO TO CHECK WAR
Arctic Explorer Thinks
We Can and Gives Four
Steps Regarding Tt

Can Te. as individuals, do any
thing 10 avert war?
Admiral Richard E Byrd be-
IieTes that we can, and in tie Ro-
tartan Magazine enumerates sew
ersl steps that can be taken By
all individuals desiring to main
tain peaceful relations between
nations.
The first step" urges the "a.
nous artic explorer, who on his
last trip to the South Pole re-
solved 10 devote most of the re-
mander Of his life to efforts for
peace. tis to inform ourselves and
our children as TO what is involv-
ed in the choices 70 be made.
Take just one OF the questions
OF peace: Disarmament. How
much does the man in the street
know about it, The point is that
disarmament is not as simple as
it sounds. We need to inform our
selves about it, as we need 10 in
form ourselves about all the prob
lens OF peace. To promote peace
We must know what peace means.
4 second step, perhaps, is to
study war and violence as institu-
tions, and 20 reach conclusions |
about them. Is violence effective?
Is war an efficient method of set
ting disputes2 Disregarding eth
iqal considerations, bloodshed. |
ruined lives, biological conse-
Guences and the like, does war do
the immediate job of settling in
ternational disputes?
We think in sober moments
that we must avoid war at all
costs; yet when the hour comes.
in our excitement the greater i'm
peritive seems to be TO save our
country against what apparently
threatens us. Perhaps we can for
-tify ourselves against this by calm
logic before the war clouds arise.
Perhaps We can convince our
selves, and then others, that war
does not settle problems and diff
ficuIties.
"a third step individuals can
take. perhaps" continued Admiral
Byrd. 'is to inform themselves as
to what is really necessary for
peace. Can nations live side by
side in amity? We know, of
course, that they can. The classic |
instance is Canada and the o. S..
two countries having the longest
common frontier OF any nations
without one mile of that frontier
fortified-and not in century
and a quarter has there been war,
or the serious threat of war. The
countries Of the Scandinavian pc
ninsula, also, have not known war
for more than a century.
'The final thing, of course, after
having informed ourselves, is to
take positive action toward the
realization Of our beliefs. Of the
way, am not so sure-nor am
I sure that any one way is the
only way. l would not want to
close my mind to any proposal
honestly and competently made
with the purpose of furthering
peace. When peace comes, it will
no doubt come through the meet
ing and agreement of many minds
which among ourselves possess
diverse views on most subjects
and even on methods of attain
ing this objective"

The Labor Recruits

The mystery - if there was any about the amount of unemployment i'll this country seems to be slowly clearing up, as millions go back to work and the rest become easier to count. One of the latest estimates is that of Colonel Leon- ard P. Ayres, economist of the Cleveland Trust Company. He figures that at the depth of the depression there were 15,- 100000 unemployed = that is, people out of work who would normally be expected to have work. Also that 10,000,OO0 Of them have now found jobs.
 That might seem to leave only 5000, 900. But the number is actually about 7,50O,- 900, says Colonel Ayres. The extra 2,5OO,O00 represent the net increase of the working or work-seeking population.
 From the spring of 1929 to the spring of 1887, he finds, the total population of the country increased little more than six per cent. But the number of those who would normally be gainfully employed increased nearly 10 per cent. This curious situation is explained by the fact that "the age composition of our population is changing, so that the pro portion of adults is growing good deal faster than is the population as whole" There are about 1,500,000 more boys and girls growing up every year than there are babies being born.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-07-02
Good Neighbor Creed

There has been many march on Washington, from the British invasion III the War of 1912 down to the bonus army" of 1882; but there never was one with quite that heart-in-the-throat quail ity that goes with the present descent o1 the Boy Scouts of America. Twenty-Five thousand of these lads have taken pos session of the city. They are not there to seek any favorS or exert any pressure; they are simply bunch of healthy, who'll ly admirable American boys out to have good time, to see their countrys capital and, just incidentally, to show what fine set of boys this country can produce And it does one good to see them down there.
 There is something about Scout Jan- boree of this kind that makes thought full adult feel just a little bit ashamed ot himself. These youngsters are still free from those traits of jealousy, suspicion, and ill-will which somehow seem to beset all grownups who go to Washington. In the Scout troops there are all sorts ot boys; boys from city slums and boys from small towns boys whose fathers are wealthy and boys whose fathers are dis tressingly poor. Twenty years from now these boys will be more or less what thelr fathers are now and the free, whole some comradeship that now holds them together will be gone forever.
 Instead, they will share the divisions that curse our grownup world The poor ones, as likely as not, will be denouncing the rich ones as economic royalists, and the rich ones will be accusing the poor ones of trying to overturn American in- stitutions. Most of.them will be demand ing that Washington do something for them-at the expense, if necessary, of all the others-and wanting to know what the country is coming to if the demand Is refused.
 All of which is simply to say that the easy, uncritical fellowship of boyhood vanishes as boys become men. Life is still pretty much devil-take-the-hind- most scramble, and it makes man for get that he has community of interest with all his fellow citizens. It is mortal ly easy to get the feeling that men of different economic or social class are go- ing to get the better of you if you don't get the better of them first.
 And there is something about the spec tacle of these Boy Scouts at Washington that makes one understand that our way of living-or, more accurately, our way of looking at life-with its divisions and its unsleeping suspicious, is badly warped Our country happens to need this feeling of solidarity, of common striving for a common goal, about as badly as any country could; yet it has to go to the Boy Scouts to find it.
