OLD-AGE PENSIONS

Votes in California and Ohio this week again
directed attention to the question OF pensions for
the aged. Interest in this issue now has spread to
every section of the country in view OF the fact that
conservative Ohio gave it consideration. 1t seemed
likely that the problem might soon become a live one
in many other states.
Most significant phase of the pension problem has
not been the argument the possibility OF whether
such plans can be financed the results OF the
votes in the two states. Most political observers are
worried chiefly about the possible formation of
pension bloc which potentially might prove more
powerful than any other political group in the land.
Because of the steadily declining birth rate, per
sons past so (the age set in the California plan)
now constitute large proportion OF the voting pop
uation of the country and their number is increasing
yearly. If these people organized into national
faction as veterans have organized in the past for
bonus legislation, they might so dominate politics
that they could force enactment of any pension law
they desired.
sions. No one will argue that helpless old people
should be allowed to starve Further, pensions IN
sufficient amount might persuade many veteran
workers to retire and thus create jobs Tor unem-
ployed youngsters.
These and many other points brought about the
passage of the National Social Security Act 1t was
felt at that time that the cost of pensions would be
too great for any single state to shoulder. That
same contention still is made by economists, for de-
spite some of the wild schemes that have been pro-
posed for financing pensions the fact is that tney
must be paid for in taxes of some sort. Since most
states already are heavily burdened with debts 1T
seems foolish to saddle them with more. The Social
Security Act has been changed just recently anu can
be amended again if the need proves great enough.
political bloc of old people fighting for pensions
is likely either to forget or ignore the question OF
who must foot the bill. Few men will be able TO
resist the temptation to vote themselves incomes OF
$50 or more a week. Those who have doubts will
easily be persuaded that some fantastic scheme will
make it unnecessary for their children to pay for
these pensions
This psychology has enabled leaders of the ham
and-eggs movement in California to enlist wide sup

own figures, they have daily "take' of $500 per
day. If $4,000 people who claim to be desperately
in need of pensions can be persuaded TO pay OUT
their precious pennies, it becomes apparent how
profitable national organization could be-

full share of criticism. We as ma
ton do not care for this type of
talk and although not one of our
boys will take part in this strug-
gle, our financial assistance would
easily be the straw that breaks the
camel's back.
1t is more than likely that the
Nazi's never intended to offend any
of these, but unfortunately for
them the rest of the world now
believes Stain and Hitler think
alike.
Opportunity For Revolt
The great question however, is
will they act alike. Germany is not
in a position to discontinue the
war. To do So would give the mi
norities great opportunity of re-
volt to regain control of their own
governments.
Austria, Czechoslovakia and Po-
land would become once again self
ruling nations. The Allies would
see to this as it would forever
break the power of Hitler. In all
probability this would place the re-
naming peace loving Germans in
a position to Danish Der Fuehrer

GUARDSMEN START
WINTER TRAINING
SUNDAY MORNING

By train and truck the COM
panies of the First Infantry,
Maryland National Guard, will
leave their home towns early Sun
day morning November IL for a
week of intensive field training
at Camp Ritchie.
This movement will mark the
first ''cold weather" training
undertaken by the regiment, and
the troops will be quartered in
heated stone buildings instead of
under canvas.
After checking with company
commanders, Brig. Gen. D. John
Marley, commanding the regi-
ment, announced that at least Is
per cent of the enlisted strength
of the organization will make the
trip. Between now and December
l all combat troops in the Guard
will have completed the additional
week of field training ordered by
the War Department as a part
of its general policy of strength
ening National defense.
Rough spots in training during
summer maneuvers in Northern
Virginia are to be corrected at
Camp Richie next week. The
Eastern Shore units and Com
pany G of Cumberland will ride
troop trains to Camp Richie. The
other companies will arrive by
truck.

ARMISTICE DAY 1889

Throughout the State on Saturday veterans and
other groups will pay homage to the World war
dead. In nearly every community memorial exercises
will be held. few hours later, on Sunday morning
to be exact Maryland's National Guard companies
will begin to leave for Camp Richie for the first
winter maneuvers in their history.
That their departure misses falling on Armlstce

The significance of the circumstance though is only TOO
obvious. On one day we shall pay tribute 10 our
bows who fell in the war to end war;. On the next
we shall begin feverish efforts to be prepared In case
we again are involved in such a conflict

Premier and Foreign Commissar
Molotoff in his recent speech as
sails practically every nation in
the world with the exception of
Germany. He has placed Hitler and
Stain in the same stew pot, and
seems TO have all the ingredients
necessary for most un-appetizing
dish.
He made fragrant denunciations
against Great Britain and France,
Italy, Japan and the United States.
He openly asked workers in
these countries to go against; to
oppose their own governments. 1t
seems to me that when Hitler
joined hands with Stain he made
his greatest error. Since this sup
posedly great diplomatic coup =
what has happened?
Japan and Italy, signers along
with Germany of the anti-comin-
tern pact, are cold soldering him.
The greatest possible horror to
both these nations is the dreaded
ccmmunistic Bear. They dread the
thought of its tearing claw getting
the slightest clutch on their re-
spective countries. In order to
avoid any chance of "red' contain
ination it is now more likely than
not that they will lean closer and
closer to France and Great Britain.
Hitler has attempted to force
Franco to take part in the struggle.
Spain is still in the throes of a
despair that follows all civil wars,
and the wounds she is recovering
from were dealt by communists.
Franco therefore could or would
not align himself with a country
he hates and despises, but he
might choose to fight against them.
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Fin
land, Holland and Belgium have all
received their share of abuse from
Stain and Hitler. Singularly and
collectively these countries great
desire is to remain neutral, but it's
quite logical that they will not con-
tinue to submit to verbal chastise-
ment.
Any overt act on the part of the
dictators would force them into
aligning themselves with the
Allies.
