STUDENT WORKERS.

AS students in schools and col
leges approach their final examina-
tiOns and tests. some of them do con-
siderable worrying. Fears that they
will not pass or obtain their promo
tions or diplomas occupy many of
their waking thoughts.
The students who worry about
their work are not likely to fail in
it. While worry is not a good thing
on general principles. yet If people
do not do a certain amount of 1t, and
on the contrary step high and give
few thoughts to the results of their
years work. they may get a cold and
sudden shock some day.
The working world outside schools
and colleges looks. CRITICALLY into the
scholastic achievement of those who
ask for jobs. 1t often says that the
student who would not work at his
lessons may not work we'll for the
boss at a later date.

WARS OF SELF DEFENSE

The world is a kind Of vast chess
board of war, in which the various
powers are playing for position
Each one tries to make il appear
that if it is fighting. it is purely
in self defense. that its enemies
started the trouble.
That was Germany's game in 1914.
When it marched its troops over in
to Belgium contrary to its treaties,
ii tried to show that its enemies had
drawn tight and suffocating circle
about the German people. and were
trying to squeeze the life out of
them.
In old days the people who started
wars were not so fussy about trying
to prove they were in self defense.
II king wanted some country's rich
territories. he manufactured some
remote claim to that land. and he
went over and took it, if he could.
Cody thC WOIIu Is dFeTSe 10 war.
The morale of a nation depends on
whether it feels that its government
started the fracas. The people will
fight harder if they feel they are at
tackled, than if they think their own
government has gone on the ram
page.
Adolf Hitler, who may turn out the
worlds chief war maker of modern
times. is reaching out for more and
more territory. He claims Danzig,
which was once a part of Germany.
Perhaps it ought to go back to Ger
many. but people do not like the
idea that any nation can take what
1t wants by pointing a gun at their
heads Hitler will try to make it ap-
pear that as the Danzigers desire
return TO Germany, it will be an at
tack on their democratic rights to
deny that desire. Hence if he fights.
lie will say he did it in self defense.
Anyway, modern war is great
chessboard in which the lives and
fortunes of millions are treated like
little pawns on a chessboard reach |
ing all over the world.

KNOWING TIE LANGUAGE

The Birmingham Southern College
is going to withhold diplomas from
students whose written work or
classroom speech shows marked de-
fects. If this test was applied in all
colleges. lot of students would have
to pull the little old grammar out of
the wastebasket into which they
seemingly threw it.
The American people are tolerant
about grammatical mistakes. but an
ignorant sounding letter is a handi-
cap in getting job or passing in
social life The modern students do
not have to put on Ounce caps as was
required in the old time school. but
the educated world smokers when
some of them talk or write.

GOOD VS.. BAD
BY T. A. HALL, Milford

There's so much good in the worst of
us,
And so much bad in the best,
Il seems so silly to stand and cuss
At the sins of all the rest.
If / am wrong and you are right,
And you know it's so, my friend,
Then you should try with all your
might
To me some assistance lend.
For need you and you need me,
And we always will, my brother;
So let's stop trying so much to see
Sc many faults in each other.
For we can always find the thing
We try the hardest to find
BY pressing the rose you can find the
sting
OF the thorns with which it's lined.
MORAL-Don't crush,
Just hush! 7-21-1t

that the Administration has bid $780,.

brain-trusters motivated by brain

Who but a braintruster ever be-
lieved that a good will, mutual re-
spect and good neighborliness could
be bought with money?
Naturally the Administrator never
stated that it would try to buy good
will with this half billion dollars. 1t
instead proposes to lend public funds
to defaulting nations so that they
may purchase United States manu-
factured goods should they be so dis
posed.
Private capital, during the splurg-
ing nineteen twenties. to it's everlast-

fits coming from purchase of ones

snares and delusions. A decade or

Should Congress be supine and ap-

then should the money be loaned

will come when the borrowers of
these public funds also will be in de-

some future President of the United

WILD ADVENTURE OF
CONFISCATION

Dictator President Busch of Boliv-
ia has plunked another obstruction
in the pathway of cherished "solidar-
ity" by Investing the ownership" OF
the country's mineral wealth in the
Capital State. Investing in this
case means conscation. Bolivian Gen
eral Busch made the original pattern
in confiscating American oil proper
ties.
The present attempt to control tin
has far-reaching consequences since
Bolivia is one of the worlds princi-
pal producers, ranking in Importance
with the Malay producers.
There is an international Tin
Committee and it held one of its reg
ular meetings in Paris recently,
when it laid down shipping quotas
under an agreed system of standards.
Bolivia has now iaised the question
of whether it may withdraw from the
International control plan. at a time
when it is engaged in bartering her
tin with Germany, Italy and Japan
for manufactured goods.
For the past year and half Bo-
livia and Mexico have widened their
scope of confiscations that began
with land and oil. through seizures
of other properties such as public
utilities, mines. rails and whatever
they could lay greedy hands on.
While the direct loss of these prop
critics may in most cases fall as a
great blow upon American owners
and investors, the more far-reaching
consequences involve diplomatic
complications. international invest
ments and trade. The Monroe Doc
trine and the Good NeighbOr Policy
will become empty phrases unless
the Bolivia-M Mexico form of banditry
Is checked.
The economic and financial struc-
ture in the new world is threatened
as Bolivia and Mexico are seeking to
build up fantastic Heterogeneous
with their new economic allies, Ger
many, Italy and Japan.
Nazi Germany has bargained with
Bolivia and Mexico for oil and other
products in exchange for typewriters.
business machines and manufactured
goods which under the normal flow
of foreign commerce would be fur
nished by manufacturers OF the Uni
ted States.
To make matters look more regu-
lar Germany has invented what 1t
calls Ask" marks which are a style
of wildcat money that represents, in
fact, simply a substitute for what we
call l. o. us in the United States.
The Aski is a token of Indebtedness.
The whole intolerable scheme OF
confiscation appears to be breaking
down of its own weight and in the
end Bolivia and Mexico are likely
to pay dearly for their folly, when
their "bad luck" is sure to correct
their monumental mistakes and
crimes in the wild adventures Of con-
fiscation.
