THE TIME FOR CLEAR THINKING

Although we have a serious unem-
ployment problem on our hands, farm sur
pluses, and limited industrial markets, the
people of America can still boast of being
the richest nation on earth.
We own 80 per cent of the worlds
automobiles, so per cent of it's telephones,
33 per cent of it's railroads and more than
so per cent of all monetary gold. We have
a greater purchasing power than Europe
and Asia COMMUNICATIVE their inhabitants
of more than one billion.
Our territory includes only six per
cent of the worlds area. Our 100 million
citizens compose only seven per cent of the
worlds population. Yet we consume AZ
per cent of the worlds coffee, Fl per cent
of it's sugar. Sc per cent of it's rubber, SO
per cent of it's petroleum, 81 per cent of it's
copper, AZ per cent of it's pig iron, II per
cent of it's silk, more than so per cent OF
it's tin.
But even more important than this
material wealth are the riches we possess
in our individual freedom-our right to
voice our opinions, to worship God as we
choose, and to elect our own leaders.
Every effort to wreck our unity with
propaganda, designed to breed internal
at it's very source Every attempt to pro-
mote bitterness and suspicion, within our
own ranks must be suppressed with logic
and common sense. Those who would
preach bigotry and intolerance, or uncon-
sciously endorse such hazards to our unity
by their silence, as simply aiding and
abetting enemies who yearn for the de-
struction of our democracy. Our enemies
know they can destroy our Amerlcanlsm
if they can provoke strife and discord
among the various elements which COM
pose our population. With devilish cum
ming. they know America will lose its
strength as a world power the moment our
unitv begins to crumble-the minute we
begin to tolerate attacks upon each others
civil, religious and political privileges.
Our own history has taught us that
civil war can be more cruel and brutal than
any other catastrophe that may befall
nation. Currently, the nations OF Europe
are demonstrating that divided people
only paves the way for the complete col
lapse of one democracy after another.
AS long as the people of the United
States can live together in harmony, with
respect for the rights of each other, and
with absolute loyalty to Americanism
ideals, we will have foundation of eter-
nal strength upon which our national de-
Tense can be builded with confidence. The
principle of united nation will always be
the keystone of our national defense
needs.

Where did your hair get so much
gold
To blind the human eye?
Was it the sun at setting dropped
A handful from the sky?
Or did you hypnotic the moon
On a bewitching night,
And stealing an apronful of stars
To make your hair so bright?

Wonder if they will steal Henry Armstrong's welterweight title with that good old British FOUL RULE tonight in London, or will Homicide Henry be lucky enough to knock out Ernie Roderick, l3 pounds heavier, before any question of low blows is raised. Remember Lou Brouillard? He hit Marcel Thil on the chin, knocked him out, the Bel. gian referee counted Thil out Brouillard was out of the ring when the judges called him back and awarded the fight to Thil-ON A FOUL. That was in Paris, while to- nights tussle is in London. Per- haps the fight may be won or lost on its merits, and in conjunction with the Fair Play" that the Eng fish are so strong about. You never saw more disappointed lad in your life than Al Labutis, Chase Co. golf pro who took two sevens at Winchester the other day trying to qualify for the U. s. open. At that he got an 90, and had . chip. not putt through water on the green. It was a case of going through with the game or losing out any, way, many of the players being lucky enough to finish before the rain got too heavy. Al Mccoy, the Boston boxer who punched Nathan Mann silly last night in Bridgeport was suspended in- definitely by the National Boxing association last Tuesday for failure to appear for fight at Dayton.

 Sorrentino denied any knowledge of the incident. He said that both he and his stable foreman had been absent from the stable of Last Ro- nance for a short while before the race but that he did not believe the horse had been "doped."
 Merrill Packer, apprentice jockey from Ogden, Utah, rode Last Ro- nance" which came with Q late rush to win by a neck over A. E. Webber's Count Rae. Last Ro- nance, scheduled to run in yester- days seventh race, was scratched following the stewards action.

 It was an up and down battle with Thompson continuously com- ing for behind to square 1t up. Chap man went one up with par on the first when Thompson took a seven.
