What We Must Defend

! There is perhaps no subject con.
corning which the people of the
United States are more in accord
than that of national defense. Every
true American wants to see his
country safe from invasion.
But the question most pertinent
just now concerns the scope defen-
sive measures should include. The
question might be divided some.
what like this:
Should we be prepared to defend
only the continental United States
and the possessions which are in
disputably our own territory, such
as Hawaii, Puerto Rico. Alaska and
the Panama Canal?
Should we go to war to defend
the Philippines, which by their
own request have been granted en-
tire independence to become fully
effective after transition period Of
few years? And what about other
republics IN this hemisphere?
Should we 60 tn war if necessary
to defend COMMERCIAL or personal
interests of Americans throughout
the whole world?
Should we go to war to aid Great
Britain and France, for example.
as we did in the World War-and
| for what?
The answers to these questions
must have a definite and vital bear
| ing on the nature. extent and cost
of the proposed new defense pro-
gram.
But the answers can not lie given
! until it is known to what extent we
intend to involve ourselves with
other nations over matters which
are of little importance to our own
people as a whole.

ONE.LECGED SKIER
CLIMBS MOUNTAINS
Sports Activities Nothing to
Boast of, He Says.

DENVER.-A one-legged skier,
most people agree, is one of those
exceptional individuals to be ranked
with one-armed paperhangers, but
Arthur Kidder does not think so.
Kidder, a 43-year-old engineer in
the federal reclamation bureau
headquarters here, has been skiing
on his good right leg for the last
three years and said he thought his
participation in the sport wasn't
worth talking about"
He dislikes to talk about his ski
ing ability because people might
think I'm Dragging or something"
But he feels that his winter sports
activities may help other persons
with one leg to realize that they
aren't so seriously handicapped as
they may believe.
A sun-tanned, 6-foot robust man,
Kidder said he knew of two other
one-legged skiing enthusiasts in the
world. One man lives in Canada,
he said, and the other in Switzer-
land.
He lost his left leg in childhood
accident. Harboring no "persecu-
ton completes" or more than the
ordinary feelings of self-pity, he
earned his degree in engineering.
reared family and showed he was
more active than the ordinary ia
Their by taking his wife and four
children on mountain climbing
tours.
Keeps Him Out of Doors.
Kidder said he took up skiing
three years ago because he
Thought it would be fun and would
provide an activity during the win
ter months that would keep him out
of doors.
BY attaching circular ski-pole
webs on his crutches, Kidder went
out on the ski runs in this area and
proceeded to "have the time of my
life"
Crowds of winter sports enthusi-
asts on Berthoud pass, popular ski
run in the mountains west of Den
yer, became used to seeing the one
legged man do a fairly good job of
getting down the fast slope. Many
neophytes looked with envy on Kid
der's agility with the crutches and
one ski.
Mrs. Kidder likewise took UP the
sport, the engineer said.
Il can't hope. Of course. to mas
ter such intricate maneuyers as the
slalom and the stem turn. but ] can
slide down and get my share OF
spills"
Kidder said that when he has to
make quick stop on skiing slope
he does just what almost every 9TH
er beginner does--he Just sits down.
