CHAMBERLAIN TRULY
A MAN FOR THE AGES

There is no beribboned cross or dia-
mond encrusted decoration in all the
worlds pagan heraldry that can honor
the thing Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain of Great Britain has done for
civilization.
The only adequate measure of his
greatness can be the catch in our throats,
the tears in our eyes, when we read of
that dramatic scene when the old states
man learned amid deepest gloom that
success had come in his battle to bring
peace where none seemed possible.
The Nobel Peace Award?
1t seems puny for such a man. Nor
is there any other honor we know that
is deserving to be bestowed upon Neville
Chamberlain. Man might as we'll put
up billboard on the edge of the Grand
Canyon to tell visitors it is one of natures
greatest works.
There are those dsgruntled ones to-
day who say Hitler and Mussolini have
come victorious away from Munich. Yet
we say the victory is Chamberlain's
Theirs is victory of brutal force, en-
comprising the control of human bodies
and the possession of fertile valleys and
rich mountains. His is the victory of hu-
manity, unselfishly giving life and hope
and spirit where before was only despair
and fear and the threat of death.
Because of Chamberlain. millions will
continue to live in peace and happiness.
Because of him civilization can go for
ward toward that eventual day when
there will be no war and no threat of war
Hitler has won land; Chamberlain has
. won peace. To the one comes greater
strength to inspire greater fear; to the
other comes the love of humanity.
Can there be any question which name
will be inscribed with glowing letters in
the Great Book when the day comes for
final reckoning?

BREAKDOWN FOLLOWS
MORAL LAXITY
Detroit Free PresS)

At Grand Ledge on Sunday, Senator
Arthur H. Vandenberg stressed a point
which many people, who speak lightly
of the Constitution, appear to overlook.
"You have just one warrant for re-
ligiouS freedom Senator Vandenberg
declared, and that is IAN inviolate Con-
stitution and an inviolate Supreme Court
to give it voice. When the spirit of the
Constitution dies religious freedom per-
ishes."
The right to worship God, and the
right to find consolation and inspiration
in the Scriptures, which are the founda-
tion of our moral code, are not sources of
personal comfort and solace alone.
They are also the rock upon which our
national morals and ethics rest Where
these rights have been suppressed in
Europe, national ethics and morals have
reverted to paganism :.
Contracts are no longer honored, or
promises kept, or persons or property
respected or even the common decencies
of private or public life observed where
freedom of religion has been suppressed
and the will of human and, therefore,
fallible dictator alone must be obeyed.
We have already departed widely from
the moral and ethical concepts that in
the past gave strength and decency to
the life of this nation =.
What this nation needs is to get back
closer to the God of our fathers.
And in order that the way back may
not be blocked, Americans must be pre-
pared to battle against any attempt,
through assaults on the Constitution and
Supreme Court, to close the door of the
church to worshippers, or the Scriptures
to those in need of spiritual refreshment,
their conception of right and their deter
mination to defend it.

FOOTBALL 4 COLLEGIATE
LIABILITY
{ (Nogales Herald)


In spite of the forty-million-dollar
football gate annually, not including
hroadcasting fees received by colleges,
the money has brought no educational
benefits.
No football million has gone to any
noted educational foundation or any siz-
able cultural project. No endowment for
scientific or medical research has been
forthcoming for the gridiron receipts.
No outstanding football contribution
has been CLEANED for the erection of
even college buildings or dormitories.
There is no record Of big year at
the football gate resulting in so much
as a raise in the faculty's salary. The
average salary paid to head football
coach is S6,107 as compared with S5, 158
for the highest paid professor.
The tremendous cost of financing Win
ming football is what eats up all the prof
its and leaves no funds for educational
purposes. And unless g college has top
notch football team there are usually no
profits but a lot Of unpaid bills
To finance football, colleges go to any
extreme. Money flows freely. If only
this same enthusiasm were diverted into
the proper educational channels, our
standards of education would soar to the
highest possible level. However, the vast
majority Of colleges continue to ignore
the warnings of education to de-empha-
size football and will continue to do so
until the public and alumni refuse to
pay.

History is studded with similar

and filed it away. Rhodes was sent

diamonds were discovered in the
Kimberly fields. and Rhodes became
q rich man. In the breast OF this
sickly. neyer-strong minister's son
was an ambition almost breath
taking. He believed that Great
Britain had the highest ideal OF
government in the world. And he
resolved to devote his life to max
ing this form of government even
better. But he did not stop here.
He wanted the British Empire to
control the whole world!
He returned to London. Again
his health broke down. And again
he went to see the learned Harley
Street specialist. Tn specialist gave
a start when he saw Rhodes, but
collected himself and made another
examination. Then he showed
Rhodes the card he had made out

Ware of ReUeHge :.
Threats from u. S. q.

WASHINGTON. - Congress will
discuss profit-sharing plans for in
dustry this winter.
A pet interest of Senator Arthur
Vandcnberg, these plans are to be
studied by a subcommittee of the
Senate Finance Committee begin
ming Dec. /, just before Congress
assemblies. This should assure at
tention in Congress itself, as the
meatier bits of the study should be-
Gin coming out as Congress begins
Worl.
This committee is CHARGED with
considering what advisable con-
tribution, if any, may be made to
the encouragement of profit-Shar-
ing by the Federal Government, in
Guiding the grant OF compensatory
tax exemptions and tax rewards y
In other words. ii a company di-
vides its profits Witn employees, the
government might exempt that
amount of profits from taxation,
thus encouraging other companies
to do likewise.
Available will be 4 report to the
International Management Con
fress, III which Prof. c. C. Bal
derson of the Wharton School of
the University of Pennsylvania
wakes a little skepsical Of such
plans. Prof Balderson's objections
are that such plans usually are too
complex for the worker, the re
wards usually come too late for him
to connect them with his own eff
forts and that often the worker
who has increased his efficiency
and his production sees profits
wiped out by a writeoff of inventory
or some other bookkeeping factor,
leaving him puzzled as to why he
isn't cut in on the profit
The National Industrial Confer
ence Board went into this matter
in 1928, and found few profit-shar-
ing plans had survived.
In short, the chance of the Van
denberg- Herring committee turning
up anything really epoch making
in the way Of industrial reform is
small.
One of the most interesting as
poets Of the proposal to extend
Social Security benefits to millions
rot enjoying them is that the in
come to the government from ad-
ditional deductions and payments
would go a long way toward ap-
parently holding down the treasury
deficit.
Of course chat money must be
raised by taxation later on. when
the benefits come due, but right
row it would help minimize those
annual deficit figures. a desirable
thing with the 1850 campaign COM
ing closer and closes.
A. the same time. agitation for
higher taxes is going to get big
play next session. It would not be
surprising to find incomes between
5000 and $4,000 paying rates COM
parable to those now paid by in
comes above $4,000. Recently pub
fcation of annual income figures by
the National Resources Committee
provides powerful argument for
those who seek to use income tax
es as a leveling out device for the
Ole per cent Of the people who re-
coiVe 13 per cent Of tho national

Famous Sayings

The American newspapers have
had a good deal to say lately about
the betrayal" of Czechoslovakia.
England and France, SO the story
gees. have sold the little country
down the river. and have cravenly
made peace with Hitler by ignor-
ing their responsibilities.
Well, this all may be true enough.
The Czechs have had a raw deal,
and the big muscle-nan of Europe
is riding high, wide and handsome,
But it hardly becomes Americans
to say too much about it,
Responsibilities in this Czech af-
fair go back long way-20 years
or more, to the time when the
nation was put together out of the
vreckage of Austria Hungary. And
it just happens that it was the
United States that was largely re-
sponsible for it.
The plan for a Czech nation was
evolved in this country and was
put over by President Wilson. The
Czech constitution was framed in
the United States. The League of
Nations, devised to see that differ
ences such as the one now raging
between Czechoslovakia and Ger
many were settled peacefully, was
pretty largely an American inven-
ton.
So if we are going to do any talk
ing about responsibility for what
happens to the Czechs, We can't es-
cape taking a share of that respon
sibility ourselves.
1t is nearly 20 years since we de
cided that we didn't want any of
that responsibility We stayed out
of the League of Nations and re-
fused to ratify the Versailles treaty.
Since then we have repeatedly in
sisted that we were going to follow
policy of isolation.
Certainly it is our privilege to act
that way. Probably it is the Wisest
course we could follow
But we ought to be consistent.
