IN his introductory remarks about

said:
'sThey are being brought to light
In the footsteps and with the spirit

have left them IN oblivion"
Trustworthy inf0rtnants said that
the speech was perhaps the strong
est ever made BY the Pope.
Condemns NAzl Attitude
1t ives said that the Pope cited the
recent manifestations by Nails

hishop Of Vienna, to condemn In the
most ,iiasparlng terms the whole
Maxi attitude toward the Catholic
Church,
It was reported that the Pope by
implication warned Adolf Hitler that
any attempt to crush the Church
must either fail or end disastrously.
He told his hearers, 1t was said, that

Will Try For Peace
Shanghai, Oct. 2l--(upl--0reat
Britain and Germany have started
a joint effort 10 mediate between
China and Japan, it was asserted
today in a most reliable quarter.
As the report was made, Japanese
troops were entering Canton, fifth

capital on the YanRtse River.
They have marched 80 miles IN

the fall Of Fiankow, the Japanese

three lieutenants and others. All
100 police and civilian employees had
been herded into the building and
questioned intently by Valentine
and william B. Herlands, city COM

Early today. just before Behan
was arrested, police photographers
were seen taking flashlight pictures
OF the interior and exterior Of the

WOMEN AND WAR

II Europe blows up In another hell
OF war. what attitude win the wo-
men of America take towards itg
VIII they say that the United States
can not remain outside of any such
dispute between relationships and
democracies. and that we must
throw our influence, our money. and
our men into that maelstrom OF
death?
Or will they say that all wars are
wrong unless undertaken in clear
self defense. and that the duty of
America is to develop its own demo-
cratic system and show how much
more happiness it gives than the
quarrelsome ways Of Europe?
Our guess is that the latter view
will be theirs. Women are tired of
raising boys to be cannon fodder.
If these children must fight. let it
be because somebody has threatened
their homes.

EDUCATION AND THE HOME
TOWN

In former years some families
disliked the idea of giving their
children a good education. as it was
felt they would then become dis
contented in their home towns. 1t is
to be hoped that no one in and
around Milford has that idea now.
The opportunities in big cities do
not look as good as formerly. There
is more tendency to look to small
cities and medium sized towns as the
most satisfactory field for enterprise
today. There are plenty of chances
for bright and enterprising young
people in and around our community.
The better education they have, the
better they will be able to win favor
and make good places for themselves
in the world.

KEEPING UP THE uPKEEP

Some people groan and growl
when they and things around their
home places that need repair, and
they throw up their hands, and say,
"Will these costs never cease?'
They should realize that any home
needs constant repairs. They are a
part of the price of having the ben
efits and blessings Of home.
If these folks rent house. they
have to pay for such repairs through
their rent, as the landlord has to
make them. 1t is not good policy for
any owner to let needed repairs go
very long. When neglected beyond
a certain point, the deterioration of
the building proceeds. faster. The
house that needs paint and does not
get it. is liable to decay. The leaks
that are repaired. first do the least
damage. Now is good time for the
to look over his prop
erty, and see what IL needs for the
winter. 5e-I

COLLECTIVE sECuR,Tv

In the recent Czechosloyakian
crisis, which SO greatly stirred our
people, it would seem that the idea
of universal peace 10 be secured thru
so-called collective security" had
proved for the present but a mere
dream.
When the World war ended, peace
loving people thought they had
found that collective security in the
League of Nations. 1t was felt that
no nation really wanted war, and
that if all the nations Joined to-
gether, and took action against any
country that wanted to start a war,
no nation would dare to talk Of using
armed force.
So the League of Nations was
formed, and most countries but the
United States Joined it. Some people
say the failure of the United States
to Join was the thing that queered it.
Whether that is so or not, the
Leagae-had little influence in the
Czech crisis.
The trouble with such an organ
ization is that some nations come
under domination of leaders who be-
lieve that it is only through war or
the threat Of war that countries can
attain prosperity. So if such coun-
tries join a league that is intended
to make permanent peace, these
countries are likely to withdraw
from such an organization that seems
to work against their aims.
If the league is to be a success. it !
must get the support Of all or nearly |
all nations. and those that adhere to
it must be sincere. ready to support |
peace measures even il they some
times have to sacrifice their own in
terests. Few countries are willing,
II they feel they have certain rights,
TO give up those claims at the COM
nand of any organization like the
league.
So it looks as if the nations
would have to rub along a while yet
IN the old patterns. If the nations
would only be reasonable and fair,
hey could get peace, either with or
without leagues of nations and col
ective security plans.
