Thoughts for the Day
THE JAW BREAKS
OUT AGAIN

(Wall Street JournaD
That enfant terrible of organized. la
bor, the United Auto Workers, being just
on the verge of negotiating new contracts
with concerns with whom it has deal
ings, gives new proof of its unreliability
by calling a contract-breaking strike at
the Plymouth plant of ChrySler Corp.
In so doing. the union has committed
another of those blunders which have
marked its stormy career.
1t may not be accurate to say the
strike originally was called by the UAW.
That unions international officers prob
ably did not approve of the action, and
only came into the picture with a demand
that the 32-hOur week be instituted after
members of the local had taken action
themselves. If this is the case, however,
it in no way encourages confidence in
the value of contracts of this union,
since if the officers cannot control the
actions of their members to the extent
of lnSurlng contract enforcement, the
worth of such pacts is only too evident.
Out of this unfortunate development
which appears ominouSly on business
horizon which depends so much on reviv
ed activity in the motor industry for a
continued upsWing, one ray of light en-
erges. Regardless of the merits of the
demand for a 32-hour week the union
has shown a desire to get its members
back to work. Obviously, it would do so in
any case, if merely from the standpoint
of preserving its dues-paying organiza-
ton. BUT there is another reason as ad-
vanced in the official statement by the
executive board in Washington, that is
novel. In referring to the thousands of
sometime automobile employees now on
welfare roles, the board stated that the
cost of this social problem is largely
paid for through the taxes on already
taxed workers.
If the consciousness that the cost of
relief is, as the board correctly states,
borne largely by wage and small salary
earners spreads through labor general
ly, a pronounced curb on government eX-
travagance is in sight. One of the main
props of government spending has been
the fixed impression prevalent in the
country that the cost of relief is carried
almost exclusively by the rich, and So
let the ball continue spinning. Realiza-
tion of the fallacy of this absurdity gen.
orally would be a mighty step on the,
road back to fiscal sanity.

THE NEXT OBJECTIVE
[ NogaIes HeraId

(NOSdl6S HerdlQ)
Throughout the amazing career of
Adolf Hitler each objective achieved has
served merely as the jumping-off place
for another. There is no rest in the man,
no contentment, no peace, no satiSfac-
tion with glory and power achieved. He
has the cOnqueror's spirit, an Unsuitable
urge to go forward. 1t was found also
in Napoleon, in Alexander, in Genghis
Kahn, in Tammerlane.
The beginning of it all was back in
1886, when Hitler dared to march his
new army into the Rhineland, demilitar-
lied by peace treaties French statesmen
made threatening speeches, but their
army did not move. The British were
aroused in restrained, dignified sort
of way. Having convinced himself of
the timidity of the opposition, one bold
move has followed another until now his
enemies are literally fleeing before him.
A keen psychologist and an opportu-
mist, one who realizes fully the advan-
tageS of timely, forceful action, he will
press his advantages to the limit.
The Greater Germany is in process of
building and piece after piece will be
added-Rumania and Hungary, and fl
nally the Ukraine. If Hitler did not have
his enemies psychologically beaten there
would be no possibility of accomplish
ing these imperialistic ends without war.

DON'T BLOW YOUR OWN
HORN TOO MUCH

In Ell Centre, or almost any communi-
ty, for that matter, there is in many
hearts every night a justified desire to
commit compound mayhem upon the per-
son or persons Of one or several other
persons.
1t all comes about through horn blow
ing Automobile horn blowing.
Maybe there is law against the motor
list who drives up in front of a friends
house at or 10 or II o'clock and honks
his horn long and loud, awakening not
only his friend but all his friends neigh
bors. If there isn't, there should be.
Of all the weeks we've heard of, we
should lend greatest support to stop
honking" week.

Famous Sayings
Ignorance PeriIs
America in War
Against Syphilis

syphilis should be regarded as a
disease that perils Americas ma
tional life, not as disgrace to be
hidden in ignorance and silence,
the Ell Centro Kiwanis club was
told Friday by Miss Eloise Hafford,
executive secretary of the south
ern California council to control
and prevent syphilis and gonorrhea.
The Women's club representative
pointed out that California is sec
ond among the states of the union
in number of cases of the venereal
diseases. Syphilis kills $4,000 people
in California each year, she said
An educational campaign to
spread light upon the question OF
yenereal diseases, coupled with
legislative controls, was urged by
the speaker. Among other things
she recommended prenatal exam
ination for expectant mothers
pointing out that 10000 babies
were born in the United States
last year with syphilis.
Imperial Valley press., 1938-10-16

The recent Czech crisis would not
have been complete until British
newspapers found some way 10
blame the whole business on Uncle
Sam That moment has finally ar
rived. and SO the whole thing is nov
official.
According to the magazine News
week. an astonishing amount OF
anti-American sentiment is finding
expresslon in England these days,
and it is being argued in London
that the Czechs would not have
been sold down the river if Amer
lea had only done its part.
That amazing argument, 1t seems
goes ike this: The British were
slow in backing up France because
the British we're reluctant to COM
nit themselves without assurance
of American support. Such assur-
ance not being forthcoming, the
British government hedged and
hedged until Czechoslovakia was
signed. sealed. and delivered TO the
mercies of Hitler. Further, IL IS
added. "Czechosloyakia was Wood
row Wilson's invention anyway"
and hence the United States should
have borne the chief responsibility.
Now it may well be that America
should have been more active in
European affairs in recent years.
But it hardly becomes Britons to
say so.
If your memory runs back TO the
early 1905. you may recall that
the first serious blow at the Kellogg
treaty, the league covenant, and
the rest of the worlds peace ma
chinery was struck by Japan, in
Manchuria. At that time it was
an American secretary of state,
Henry L. Stimson, who took the
lead in trying to rally the dem
ocracies 10 stop the steal. Mr..
Stimson boldly took his country out

on a limb in his effort to stop the
Japanese, trusting that the British
whose interests in the Orient were
far greater than America's-would
back him up as they had promised,
If Stimson's effort had succeed
ed. the history of the last half
dozen years would probably have
been profoundly different. But the
effort failed-because, when the
pinch came, the British were look
ing the other way with great stead
fastnesS.
1t is important to remember this.
For it was the Manchurian invasion
that put the worlds peace machin-
cry to its first great test. If that
machinery had worked then, Mus
solini and Hitler would have be-
haved differently. That it did not
work was due solely TO the fact
that in the pinch the British re-
fused to let it work.

fact, any Briton who complains that
America failed to back up the
British government in the Czech
crisis is displaying a gall that ought
to win medals.
And so to Czechoslovakia being
Woodrow Wilson's baby: let it be
remembered that Wilson, alone OF
the allied statesmen, went to Paris
without an AK to grind, anxious
solely to fabricate a more decent
and happier world. 1t was the
British government that campaign
ed on hang the kaiser" platform
Just before the Versailles confer
ence, thereby making certain that
an atmosphere in which just
peace could be created would not
exist.
America has good many things
on her conscience, but when it
comes to the failure of the worlds
peace machinery, the bulk of tie
load must be carried in London,

of the United States, General U. S.
Grant was old. and had no money.
One day his good friend Mark
Twain called on him; and. recog-
nizing his poverty, suggested that
he write his memoirs in book form
which Mark himself would publish
and sell to the public.
Grant didn't know whether he
could write or not. He very much
feared that he couldn't but there
were interesting things VIII i C Il
could be told. Things which only
he knew aboht and in which the
public had an interest. He needed
the money. not only for himself
but in order that he might leave
his family provided for after his
death. However. he did not COME
to a decision at once.
Then one day something hap
pened AS he was eating a peach
he felt a painful sensation at the
root of his tongue. He went to his
doctor who told him that he was
doomed-cancer
His first thought then was of
his wife and his family. How could
he provide for them? That was the
problem. Should he write his me-
moirs? He would have to work
against time. He knew that: So he
engaged a secretary and began die
tating the story of his life. dealing
primarily with the Civil War. Ont
day speech failed him. He coulo
dictate no more. The cancer hac
got in its deadly work.
And he had hardly more thar
started. So he got whiting board
placed it on his lap and composed
With d pencil The affliction grew
worse. yet he wrote steadily. Their,
were days when his eyes had th'
dim earth forgotten look Of a per
son already in another world. Thl
doctors gave him opiates: he coul'
not clearly see the paper on which
he wrote. But he kept steadfastl
at it. for he was writing in order II
protect his family. Sometimes hi
mind fogged. Then he would pu
his board aside, walk about for
bit and make a fresh start.
At last. the book was finished
He sat down in an easy cair wit
a sponge in his mouth in order tina
he might breathe more easily.
His hand reaced for his penc
:nd paper and he wrote that h
wanted to lie down.
He did lie down, but his boo
was finished!
If you will think of this whe
you are discouraged, it may hel
you to realize how others hay
faced their troubles. Troubles com
to all. But the way we meet thel
that is the supreme test.

PLAYING THE GAME
ENGLAND KNOWS BEST
Now it can be told.

Now it can be told.
Three weeks ago nobody could tell
what was going to happen in Europe,
because nobody knew. Now unless
events take some startling new trend
the future is laid out for a few months
anyway.
England has cast the die.
Europe within the next year will see
the beginning of rearmament race un-
paralleled in history. Germany, deter
mined to be Europe'S greatest military
power, will strive to enlarge her army,
navy and air forces to a strength never
before dreamed of.
And England, safe for a while in the
peace of Munich, will broaden the base
of the rearmament program she started
two years ago. Not only that, but she
will speed up the program. She will
not, if she can help it, be caught again
in the embarrassing position the last
crisis found her in.
France and Russia will not be far be-
hind Especially will the Russians, par
ticularly menaced by Germany's new
strength and definite anti-Russia policy,
leap into the midst of the rearmaments
race.
France may be the unknown quantity.
Right now her standing army is strong
er than Germany'S. It is, in fact, con-
sidered the most efficient large fighting
force in the world, regardless of highly
propagandized reports of German
strength. France may be expected fur
ther to strengthen her already strong
forces, but to what extent remains a
mystery.
Out of it all energies this fact. Eng
land is waging a new kind of war, and
she is fighting it on her own ground.
There lies the reason for Germanys
present loud boasts that she will spare
no pains to make herself the greatest of
military powers. She is whistling in the
dark.
Germany is near capacity now in mill
tary strength. Acquisition of Czech ter
ritory gave her some new strength which
she will make use of in coming months.
But Great Britain has not begun to
utilize her latent military strength. FL
nancially she is in better position than
Germany. Her dominiOns can serve her
with more manpower. Her diplomats
can assure her more alliances. Her credit
is better abroad.
Great Britain is playing the game on
her home field now, and next time the
score may be different
That there will be next time nobody
can seriously doubt in view of the fran
tic efforts of today to rearm to fullest
capacity.
