" Where with our
rec Little Hatchet we
tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. Sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

King and Queen will see a little
of America
They'll spend most of their time in
Canada, see most there.
They will have only a glimpse of
the northeast corner of the United
States, with short look at New York
and Washington.
The little they will see of Canada
and the United States, however, will
give them some first hand impressions
of the vast extent and power of North
America.
That should please them.
For IN back of the kingly and
queenly minds must lurk the thought
of how desirable, IF WAR COMES,
it would be to enlist powerful North
America in the service of the British
Commonwealth of Nations, more often
referred to as the British Empire.
Then the visit of King George vi
and Queen Elizabeth is British prop
aganda for American friendship and
support?
Exactly 1t has other aims, to be
sure. Quite likely the British SOW
ereigns would have come to America
if there had been no threat of war in
the world
BUT THERE is NO GETTING
AROUND THE FACT THAT PRO
MOTION OF BRITISH INTER
ESTS is A MAIN PURPOSE OF
THE VISIT.
And promotion of British interests
includes efforts to line up America
with Britain in the life and death
struggle that may be coming.
There is nothing reprehensible in
that. 1t is perfectly legitimate en-
deavor. In self-interest, though, Amer
leans should recognize the British aim.
Undoubtedly the visit of the British
royalty is renewal or a continuance
of the British propaganda which
served British interests so effectively
in the World War.
The full story of that British prop
aganda is just being told, after more
than 20 years.
British took US into camp, all right.
1t was slick job.
So cleverly did they work that we
swallowed most of their propaganda,
hook, line and sinker, and yelled for
more.
Some of the facts have been re-
vealed from time to time since the war.
Now comes a more complete ac-
count in book by H. c. Peterson, pro-
fessor of history at the University of
Oklahoma.
Prof. Peterson got the facts from
the British themselves, not without
difficulty. Most of the story was
found in papers on file in the British
Museum. His book paints an astound-
ing picture.
Noted British writer's and dispens-
ers of idealism aided in the prop
uganda drive to win America for the
allied cause. Rudyard Kipling, James
Bryce, Joseph Conrad, many others,
did their bit. The eminent Sir Gilbert
Parker was head of the British or
ganization, known as Wellington
House.

The difference between "oligopoly," "
as Fishel defined it, and an industrial
oligarchy which treats its workers
passably we'll without the influence of
unions, is not easy to see. But it is
something to have business associa-
ton representative admit that rise
in minimum wages would help much
to drive chisellers out of business.

introduced by Representative Mar
tin Blum, Cleveland, as House Bill
AZ, the measure had the support of
the state branch of the Hotel and Res
taurant Employees International AL
lance.
The bill prohibits women from
drawing beer or mixing drinks behind
a bar, although members of the pro-
prietor's family are exempted from
the restrictions. An amendment Of
fered by Representative Gordon Rem
ner, Cincinnati, to permit women to
draw beer was defeated before the
bill was passed and sent to the Senate.
Two measures having the support
of employers and labor were recon-
mended for passage by the House la
Dor committee last week. Both have
been approved by the Senate.
Senate Bill 297, introduced by Sen
ator Keifer, makes all occupational
diseases compensate under the work
mems compensation law, and Senate
Bill 295, by Senator Lawrence Kane,
Cincinnati, makes permanent the IL
legality of wage assignments as Sc
curity for a loan or purchase.
House Bill 369, licensing and regu-
lating the plastering and lathing in
dustry, has been recommended for
passage by the House codes commit
tee, and Representative Blum, author
of the measure, was endeavoring last
week to have it placed on the House
special calendar for consideration.

Liberty has never come from gov

of liberty is history of resistance.
The history of liberty is a history of

Declaration Of a mistrial by Su-
perior Judge Fred G. Remain Tues
day stopped the $12,100 damage
suit Of e. T. Carney of Tacoma
against Robert c. Poore, owner
of Golden's Lake resort. 10 miles
east Of the city.
The case was nearing a close
when the plaintiffs attorney. Guy
e. Kelly, pressing defense witness
too closely, brought out that an in
surance company was involved in
the case as a behind-the- scenes de-
PENDANT. Judge Remain held that
the case would face certain reversal
II 1t were appealed to the supreme
court and that 1t should not be per-
mitted to 60 to the jury with that
knowledge.
Carney, who dived into shallow
water off the resort float last July
4 and broke his neck, claimed Poore
liable for not adequately posting
the place with warning signs. Tes-
timony as to whether the float did
have signs conflicted.

HARDIN COUNTY
Engineer Warns Of
Road Deficit

Russell Harvey, engineer for Har-
din county, last week warned that
diversion of $4,000 from the coun-
tvs road fund under the proposed
House Bill 256 would make the
county's participation in WPA road
projects impossible The bill was
introduced this week by State Repre-
sentative Jean E. Simpson, Forest.
W. B. Wilson, county auditor, on
the other hand, said the diverted
funds for relief and other purposes
would keep the county's general fund
from being overdrawn.
The Is townships of the county
had their road maintenance load
more than doubled after the county
commissioners shifted 219.43 miles of
