NO HARM IN FRIENDSHIP
FOR THE BRITISH

Left-wing and extreme isoationist
writers and orators have enjoyed field
day recently at the expense of the King
and Queen of Great Britain, guests now
at the White House. For no other appar-
ent reason than hatred of royalty, these
extremists have heaped abuse without
end on the royal heads. They have seen
in the visit of the moHarchS to the United
States every kind of a plot you could
imagine from downright annexation to
fortnight war mongering.
Luckily most Americans disregard
them entirely.
To a common-sense person, it is hard
to see any reason for hysteria in the
royal visit
We know, and the whole world knows,
that the object of the visit is to strength
en- American friendship for Great Brit
ain at time when Britain needs all the
friends she can muster. Is that any rea-
son we should become all a'dither with
hatred? Is it net, rather good reason TO
welcome the visitors, assure them of our
national friendship, and send them on
their way with glowing friendship, in
turn, for America.
Friendship for Great Britain does not
mean we have to fight her wars Most
Americans are, rightly, bitterly opposed
to becoming embroiled in any purely
European disputes. 1t is the part of po-
likeness on this present occasion, how
ever, to say to our visitors:
"You have our complete friendship.
We wish to remain friendly with all
other nations, and Britain is no eXcep-
ton. Of course, we do not consider that
we must take up arms to protect your
trade or your territories. You should
be fully capable of that. What we offer
you is the friendship of a nation that is
as self-sufficient as one nation can well
be. We are your neighbors in crowded
world. Let us be good neighbors.''
There are many reasons, economic,
political and historic. why the United
States and Great Britain should be the
closest of friends Our language is the
same, our goals are approximately the
same, and Britain's government is more
nearly like ours than that of any other
nation. Why should we not favor Brit
ain?
Would you rather we went over to
Russia, or to Germany, or Italy, or
Spain?
No-there is no room for resentment
in the fact Great Britain wants to be
friends. We should welcome the desire,
reciprocate in friendship-and continue
to mind our own business when there is
any danger of international trouble.

Famous Sayings

If ever there was a time when
the people of the United States
need to think clearly to see the
substance of things and not the
shadows, it is now.
The testimony of the Deather-
ages and Moseleys before the Dies
Committee is evidence that we are
Scooting into another of those
periodic moments in our history
when people whisper and pass
dark rumors in corners rather
than stand up in the light and
carefully seek the truth.
Nothing is more dangerous than
this And the only remedy is TO
pin down every such rumor-mon-
ger with questions like Exactly
why do you believe that" and
What is the source of that in
formation"
You hear them buzzing every
where: "They are going to take
over the government "They are
doing this, and plotting that
They! They! Exactly who are
they" those mysterious and elu-
sive people of whom 130000,0OO
Americans are expected to be SO

smaller in numbers?
Who are they" anyway? Insist
on knowing, from the next per-
son who buttonholes you with
some of this gin-mill and cock
tail party stuff, exactly who he
or she means. Insist on knowing
how he or she knows about it
in the first place.
General Moseley doesn't trust
the newspapers, he said, to give
a true picture of what is going
on. Naturally he is entitled to any
such opinion he may feel justi-
fled in holding.
But what appears in the news
papers is open and above-board.
1t can be read at leisure and un-
emotionally. The source of much
of what newspapers print is clear
ly indicated. Behind every word
of it is an elaborate and skilled
organization of trained people who
have checked and rechecked.
Many critical eyes have read
the contents of every newspaper
before it goes to the public. The
number of newspapers which
would willingly mislead people is
small indeed, and even they look
good compared to the mass OF
furtive and improbable rumors
that circulate by word of mouth
and in many organs devoted to
special causes.

FANAT1CAL HATE AS BAD
AS FAkATICAL SUPPORT

The pendulum of public opinion
against radical labor unionism has swung
to the point at which it might be wise
for Americans to remember that it is
just as dangerous'to be radically against
an institution such as labor unionism as
it is to be radically for it. Fanaticism
is always treacherOus.
There is danger that many people, be-
cause they dislike the CIO and its meth
DDS heartily, will exert pressure against
all organized labor. There is danger,
even here in Imperial county, that we
will classify any organization of labor
ers under the undesirable heading.
There is danger that we will take hasty
action in any labor dispute, without first
ascertaining the facts of the dispute.
We should remember, always, that en-
ployers are not always right, any more
than employees are always right We do
not like the closed shop, nor iurisdic-
tional disputes, nor racketeering in labor
but before we go off half cooked, let
us resolve that we shall find out what
is involved in any given case.

ner, he took her to the theatre.
His money was gone, but he had
done everything in his power to
give The girl a good time.
a day or two later he went out
with another girl Her name was
Pauline Pope. He took her to a
fountain and bought her an ice
cream soda. for that was all he
could afford. The girl turned to
him and said I'm so glad you
brought me here, I've never been
here before. It was so thoughtful
Of you and I appreciate it"
Then suddenly he remembered
that the other girl had not ex-
pressed the slightest appreciation
for all the money he had spent.
This second girls appreciation so
touched him that he grew inter
ested in her and began calling regu
larly He found that what she said
at the soda fountain was not merely
for effect but was an indication
of her true character. She not only
expressed appreciation to him, but
to everybody It was a quality he
admired intensely. You can guess
the next step; she became Mrs.

Joseph p. Day was left an orphan
at thirteen, and had to 90 to work
He got Sl.92 a week Fortunately
his father had left him a small in
come so that he did not starve.
He did not attend school after he
was thirteen.
He went into the insurance buSi.
ness and shot up so fast that when
he was twenty-five he wrote the
biggest accident policy over written
in the history OF the world up to
that time.
On one day he sold twcnty-Six
million dollars worth of property.
This was March l. 1920, and the
sale he made was the Third Avenue
Railway He also sold the Sixth
Avenue Eel" You read about that
a few weeks ago.
One thing that surprised me
about Joseph p. Day was what a
family man" he is. Under the
glass top of his desk he has the
pictures Of thirteen grandchildren!
I was surprised, too, to see a glass
partition in his office permitting a
caller TO see if he is in. Here's a
third surprise. He lives within two
blocks of where he was born. Oh
yes! One more. He has had the
same secretary for thirty.two years.
While I was waiting to speak to him
she told me that Mr.. Day had never
worn an overcoat until he was sixty
years old. He said that he had
hustled to keep warm At the
age of sixty, she said, he did not
move so fast and so had bought an
