WASHINGTON The late Lord
Balfour, one of the really far-seelng
British statesmen of two decades
ago, once uttered an observation
to present conditions. During the
early days of 1917 before American
force had begun to weigh heavily In
the balance of world host1ltles,
Lord Balfour said to group of
American newspaper editors and
publishers:
1.-The central powers will be de-
feated in this war, but the test VIII
come after peace has been enforced
by arms. The test will be whether
the peace we have thus gained VIII
be worth having-whether we can
preserve liberty and democracy. l
believe we will be able to sustain
that peace and preserve that free
dom; and I believe, moreover, that
it will be the people of rural Amer
ica-of the farms and the small
towns-that will lead the world back
to sane thinking"
With the congress giving consld-
Grafton to President Roosevelt's ur-
gent request for repeal of the arms
embargo as a means of preserving
our neutrality in the present Euro.
pean conflict, but with propaganda
stirring up emotions on all sides,
there seems to be a need for that
''sane thinking that Lord Balfour
mentioned. And, as I said above,
it is made to appear that the people
of the farms and the small towns
are going to have to lead the way
again; they have that responsibility
because they obviously will be less
affected by selishness, racial inter-
est, foreign influence and mass emo
ton that upsets thought on issues
of this kind. Whether we are able
to stay out of, this war or whether
we get into it, the individualist that
is the resident of the small town
or the farm has the job of preserv-
ing our traditions and our civiliza-
ton.
Having made such a sweeping
statement concerning these respon-
sibilities, I will attempt to show
what the facts are, what has been
going on in Washington and else
where, that has a bearing on the
point.

People Of Farms and Small Towns

Less Affected by Selfshness and Mass Emotion Than City
Folks; President Puts Republicans on Spot; Embargo
Faces Long Debate in Senate.

and Messrs. Landon and Knox
swallowed the bait in the fashion of
amateurs. The President has put
the whole Republican party on the
spot, with the assistance of its mem
bers, and there are signs that
Republican effort will be made to
offset the move.
Now, there is another thing crop
ping up. Beneath shouts of patriot
ism and declarations that we must
avoid getting into the raging mad
ness overseas, there is a feeling
that congress ought to remain on
the job straight through the winter.
The determination of the President
and his spokesman in congress is to
limit action in the extra session to
the subject of repeal of the arms
embargo. If that is all the actual
work that is accomplished, it would
require only a short time. On the
other hand, there seems to be
feeling that Mr.. Roosevelt should
not be left with all of the respon-
sibility of a war threat hanging
over head. Since the entire mem
bership has been called back here,
the observation has been frequent
that they ought to stay on until the
regular session begins in January
to be of help to the President as
hghtning-like changes take place in
the situation abroad.
One hears great deal of dis
cussion among senators and repre-
sentatives about our nations finan-
cial and economic condition. They
suddenly have realized the fact that
there exists a national debt of more
than $45, 900, 600, 00O-almost $40, O00,-
10000 more than the total of the
debt when the World war ended. It
is not pleasant thought, but it
must be faced.

Turn to Rural America to
Lead Way TO Sane Thinking

And as to the government itself,
attention lately has been called to
the fact that there are now 927, 1897
persons on the government payroll.
Contrast that with GIT, 760, which
was the greatest number employed
by the government at any time dur
ing the World war. The military
and naval forces are not included in
the figures given. These facts were
mentioned to me at the Capitol the
other day because some members
were looking to conditions after an
other war. It was explained that
there was very little contraction of
the governments size after the
World war and that was more than
offset by expansions in the last
six years. In other words, war
will place an additional drain upon
the government, which is the peo-
pie, that will become a permanent
thing.
Thus we see that minor matters,
as well as major questions, are hav-
ing an effect upon the thinking of
the country. While they are not
so intended, all of the many gov
ernnental changes and plans and
conditions turn conversations to the
subject of war.
So, we come back to the original
statement. From long period of
observation of people, it seems to
me that those folks who form the
backbone of America are likely to
be less influenced by the various
things I have mentioned than is
the case with the folks in the cities.
The part of rural America which
will provide the balance of power
In decision to stay out of war, or
go in, will be able to think clearly.
