foundly. Sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessly.
Russians don't like our Col Lind |
bergh, all of sudden.
Too bad, but probably Lindbergh |
will survive.
1t seems Stalin's stooges think Lind |
bergh has been belittling the Russian
air fleet to the British.
They offered no evidence that Lind
bergh had peeped word about Rus
sia's airplanes.
Maybe Russia's aviators are very
"edgy' and ready to believe anything.
More likely though, Boss Stain passed
the word for them to open wordy as
sault on Lindbergh, perhaps as back
handed slap at the British for not
| fighting Herr Hitler over Czechoslo-
vakia.
Episode places Russia's dictatorship
in rather ridiculous light.
Pretty far-fetched to believe British
attitude toward Hitler was influenced
by anything Lindbergh said about the
alleged weakness of the Russian air
force British don't have to depend
on the Colonel for their information
on this matter Their army heads un-
doubtedly know far more about it
than Lindbergh does.
Friendly" nations in Europe, you
know, spy on each other as well as on
. enemies"
If the Russian air force is all that it
is cracked up to be, why do the Rus
SLAMS show so much heat over alleged
, criticism?
Their lack of poise gives rise to
the lively suspicion that the criti-
cism, if ever made, was justified
In other words, the Russians do
protest too much"

Now that the sound and fury from
Europe have died down, Americans
are devoting more time to domestic
affairs.
Which is all to the good.
America has plenty to do at home,
without tearing its hair over foreign
quarrels.
We have problems galore which call
loudly for solution.
AS writer in Current History says.
! "For one thing, the American people
, still face the problem of recovery-of
putting 10 to II million people back
to work; of bringing about peace be-
: tween capital and labor; of restoring
: business confidence; of overcoming a
continuous deficit in the federal budget
and continuous increase of the fed
cal debt; of preparing themselves to
vote intelligently in this falls cleo
tions."
Writer might have included farm
problem in his list.
Much will be heard of this in coming
months.
Plain truth of the matter is, that all
the might striving in the last five
years has failed to solve the farm
problem.
Prices of principle crops are now
not much above those of 1888, when
the Roosevelt Administration took of
fee and tackled the job of restoring
farm prosperity. Huge surpluses
seem to bar better prices.
Farmers are rebellious and it is
feared may listen to weird schemes OF
relief" advocated by agricultural
medicine men,"
Medicine men" are reported fur
bishing their wardrobes and practicing
new and improved line of wa1
whoops.
Speaking Of preparing ourselves tc
vote intelligently in the fall election
Ohio senatorial candidates are to en-
gage in joint debates on current issues
This is step toward intelligent vot-
ing and step away from campaigns
of recrimination and name-calling, OF
, which we have had too much in recent
years.
