YOU CAN HELP

European events are changing rapidly.
What the situation will be tomorrow is
unpredictable today. No one can foreSee
the future, whether fighting will cease
five minutes hence; or whether more
and more nations will enter the war
arena.
One thing, however, is certain. That
is. that if real war comes, YOU can keep
the United States out of it,
American public opinion will decide
what American statesmen do or do not
do, and you as an integral part OF such
public opinion, will help formulate it.
Your thoughts, your attitude, your con-
clusions form the most powerful force
in the United States today.
During the early days of the World
War before the entrance of this country
into the conflict, we were able to keep
out of it because (1) President Wilson
and the national congress were doing ev-
ervthing possible to remain aloof, and
(2) American public opinion was against
entrance. After two and one-half years,
our entrance was possible only because
public opinion was not strong enough
TO INSIST that we keep out. In fact,
public opinion was heavily in favor OF
entrance.
No president, no congress, no group
or groups of expert diplomats can keep
us out of war without the cooperation
of the vast majority of the l3O million
American citizens.
It is not sufficient to merely echo the
phrase 1--WE don't want war we must
have valid reasoning behind our attitude
II is advisable, therefore, that we ally
ourselves in the common cause OF under-
standing the forces and factors wnlch
threaten our neutrality and security.

WONDER OF 1899
Unon-Tribune)

(Unon-Tribune)
What is the greatest wonder of the
year?
1t is not discovery by which man may
harness the power of the sun or the waves
thus making it possible for man to use
that power for the benefit of all man
kind.
1t is not the isolation of the germ of
infantile paralysis and the finding of
cure for this mysterious malady.
1t is not the discovery of some means
to spread peace and happiness to the
inhabitants of war-torn China.
1t is not the making of a new airplane
that will carry passengers, with the ut
most safety. at the rate of 400 miles an
hour, or faster. No. it is not that.
1t is not the devising of a new system
of production and distribution by which
all men may have plenty of food.
1t is none of these things.
The real wonder of 1899 is that Adolf
Hitler of Germany should have been
able to get the power to throw the civil
lied world into such a state of terror and
fear as it has been in for year or more;
that he should have been allowed to speak
for all the millions under his flag and,
scorning a peaceful settlement of the
nations problems, should virtually COM
nit that nation to a war, which, even if
it were successful for his fatherland
must certainly bring death to hundreds
of thousands of good Germans, wounds
and suffering to hundreds of thousands
more, very likely disastrous defeat for
his great nation, which ought to have been
happy and gay along with the other ma
tionS of the earth.
That is the great wonder of 1889.

CHEAP AT PRICE

1t costs about SD 900 a year to
run congress.
1t would be easy to make funny cracks
about that item, thoughtless little flip
jests about high-priced hot air, and the
like.
But such quips somehow aren't quite
as funny as they used to be. More and
more we can be glad even for congress
faults, for they are the faults OF the
people.
Are congressman sometimes verbose
and windy? So are lot of the people.
Are congressman inconstant, shifting
often with the tide of today's affairs
So. often. are the people. Are some OF
them vain and trivial and not always
too acute? They are human traits, shar-
ed bv great masses of the people.
Not all the money spent by govern
ment today, perhaps, represents dollars
worth for every dollar. But congress!
When it speaks the voice is, for better
or worse the peoples voice.
Suppose some dictator succeeded IN
abolishing this voice of the people. They
would be glad to pay 22 times 22 mllllon
dollars to get 1t back

LONDON, Sept. 4. (UP)-Text OF
King Georges broadcast to the
British empire:
I'm this grave hour perhaps the
most fateful in our history, I send
to every household of my people
both at home and overseas, this
message spoken with the same
depth of feeling for each one OF
you as if I were able to cross your
threshold and speak to you myself.
For the second time in the lives
of most of us we are at war. Over
and over again we tried to find
a peaceful way out of differences
between ourselves and those who
now are our enemies.
But it has been in vain. We have
been forced into conflict. For we
are called with our allies to meet
the challenge of principle which
if it we're to prevail would be fatal
to any civilized order in the world.
1t is the principle which permits
a state in the selfish pursuit OF
power to disregard its treaties and its
solemn pledges; which sanctions the
use of force or threats of force
against the, sovereignty and inde-
pendence of other states.
Such a principle stripped of all
disguise is surely the mere primi-
tive doctrine that might Is right
and if this principle were establish

Willis Thornton's Editorial on:
America Mobi|izes Her sc, 100000

While 100000 soldiers of Europe
jockey nervously for position, await
ing the signal that will set them to
killing one another, tremendous
mobilization" is also going on in
America.
1t is the annual mobilization
of 30,000000 school children ready
to return to the classroom. OF
these. more than 20000,000 are in
elementary grades, 6,500,000 will go
to high schools. Students in the
higher grades of education make
up the rest.
More than a million teachers are
preparing to make up the work OF
teaching them. Above eight billions
will go during the coming year to
the earring on of the work.
This is tremendous effort, prob
ably not matched in any other
country or in any other time. On it
we pin our faith.
1t is mass education in a sense.
For we in the United States have
always staked everything on belief
in the people as a whole We have
asked with Lincoln, why should
there not be a patient confidence
in the ultimate justice of the peo-
pie? Is there any better or equal
hope in the world"
We believe there is none. And
because we rely thus on the will OF
the people, we have gone to great
pains to try to make sure that it
shall be an informed and an in-
telligent will Where else in the
world is there a fundamental char
ter for a great area that has in it

whole British commonwealth OF ma
tions would be in danger.
Far more than this-peoples of
the world would be kept In bond
age of fear and all hopes of set
tied peace and of security, OF

This is the ultimate issue which
cOnfronts us. For sake Of all that
we ourselves hold dear and OF
world order and peace, it is una
thinkable that we would refuse to
meet the challenge.
1t is to this high purpose that I
now call my people at home and
my peoples across the seas who will
make our cause their own. I ask
them to stand calm, firm and unit>'
ed in this time of trial.
The task will be hard. There
may be dark days ahead and war
can no longer be confined to the
battlefield. But we can only do the
right as we see the right and rev.

manly possible. Among them, says
this man, there is emerging a feel
ing which goes something like this:
After all, this depression has
been going on for long time, and
the New Deal has had plenty OF
chance to do something about 1t.
1t hasn't done very well because
we're still on relief and we're still
on relief because industry hasn't
got any jobs for us. Maybe we'd
be better off if the New Deal was
replaced by an administration which
would turn business loose and give
it a chance to make jobs for us"
1t would be mistake to say
that the working man in general
has lost his confidence in Roose-
welt. The confidence isn't as strong
as it was, probably, or as univer-
sal, but 1t still exists.

ALLENTOWN, Pa.-For the i'm
mediate present. at least, this parti-
cular corner of industrial Pennsy-
lvania is feeling optomistic. Its
people-those hard working, self
reliant Dutch'-are confident their
community can come back from the
depression.
1t came back once before. The
city used to be a great textile GEN.
ter. but the mills migrated off east
and south. Yet the city rose again
to become a retail market center
of more than average importance.
The rivoting racket which nearly
drove me from my bed here one
night is proof enough of the towns
optomism. The building game is
booming and night-shifts are work
ing on construction.
Allentown is partly steel. 1t has
its own plants, lies cheek by-jowl

tories are humming with navy
orders. 1t has a big factory of the

A good deal of residential construc-
ton is going on, and-as sleepless
night bears witness there is a
substantial amount of store and
office building construction, to-
gether with a good deal of remodel
ing of downtown business proper

In the business and professional
community, there seems to be an
all-but unanimous feeling that the

WHY NOT LET GERMANY
VOTE UPON WAR

DO the German people want War?
No one can say, positively. yes or no.
In England and France the public opin-
ION is fairly well reflected by the respec-
tive governments England and France
are democratic nations whose people
govern themselves by the ballot There
fore, if they go to war, the chances are
that popular opinion favors war in be-
half of whatever the issues may be-
In Germany, however, the situation is
much more confused. Germany is ruled
by one man and his satellites. The pre-
sent war crisis without question, reflects
Hitler's own attitude. 1t is shared prob
ably by portion of the military. But
what do the German people want?
Are they willing to sacrifice their lives
and all they have, in order to gain the
Polish corridor and DanZig, and save Hit
ler's face?
The chances are that 95 per cent of
Germans, if allowed a chance to record
their opinions, would vote against such
military aggression as the German in
vasion Of Poland.
The conflict is therefore doubly hor-
rible, in that it would appear unwilling
people must be sacrificed to a dictators
ambition.

chance. This was in November,
1897. She decided to make pair
of gloves as Christmas present
for her sister. She had never tried
to make gloves. SO she studied the
different styles of gloves IN the

made a decision that changed the
course of her life. She decided to

III Gloves had been made for thou
sands of years. The last radical
change in glove construction had
been by a glove-maker in Grenoole'
France. lO4 years ago. And here
was a girl setting out to do some
thing new.
She studied not only leather and
glove-making. but hands. She went
m the museums and studied plaster
casts of hands. and then she made
a pair of gloves that were different
from all others in particular. Her
gloves actually fitted her hands.
She had discovered that a glove
would fit better if the top OF the
fingers were longer than the under
meath piece. Simple? OF course
il was. but that idea had never
been put to work before in all the
history of glove-making.
The gloves were original, the
change in construction was strik-
ing. She went to a lawyer and ap-
piled for a design" patent and got
it, She had some new kind oil
notches in her gloves and even
those were patented.
Her next step was to go to a glove
manufacturer. He said the gloves
we're impractical; that there were
no dies for making gloves like that.
Pesides he was making money on
cloves made by the dies he already
had She said she would make
the dies; and putting on goggles

orders poured in from other

became a sensation; they swept
