SUBMARINES UNSAFE

Within two weeks a sub
marine belonging to the United
Staes navy sank and 26 CT it,
crew perished and another one
belongings to; the British navy
now lies on; the bottom of the
sea with nearly a hundred mer
imprisned insit.
Both of these undersea craft
are brand nex and of the most
advanced ttnstruction. They
both are equipped with every
known safety device. In the case
of the Squalls" our navy per
formed a m o s t. wonderful jot
in rescu;ng 9 portion of the crew
with the aid of the latter. The
English boat seems to have had
the better place to sink yet to
date but a few men have been
saved. ss
From the fact both of these
"tin fish" were new and sad to
be fool-proof We have no other
alternative than to believe all
submarines are but potential
death-trps for their crews. The
frequency or these undersea
wrecks classes submarines with
zepplins. About every zepplln
yet built has Wrecked itself with
more or less I6ss of Life.
Both the z9Rplin and the sub
marine are liable weapons in

of the category of permissible
modes of wagering war. Neither
is apt to be popular as CONNER
cial craft. People would hardly
ride sky craft which at any
moment would explode or burst
and spew it's passengers out in
space couple miles up. The
idea of undersea craft which do
not always come up on schedule
is sa hair-raising few would care
using this mode of transporta-
ton. AS military craft both are
tremendously effective yet we
believe they should be relegated
to the laboratory until such i'm
provements are made as to qua
rantee safety to the crews from
allure of the craft to work ALL
the time. The world is tired of
reading of wrecks and terrific
loss of life by non-rising sub
marines and collapsable and
sky-rocket zepplins.

Europe have inequalities The democ-
racies excel in commerce and control of
the seas. The relationships excel in
natural sources of war materials.
The cash-and-carry neutrality would
help the inequalities favoring the de-
mocracies: while the embargo helps those
favoring the dictators.
BY the embargo We enter the European
controversy on the side of the dictators;
by the -andcarry we would be on
the other side.
If it be true that cash. and carry neu-
trality would involve us in war, it is
equally true that other American powers
not SO craven as We will also be involved
and our adherence to the Monroe Doc
trine would eventually involve us just
the same.

Homecoming

We saw so many rare and lovely things,
The Tai Mahal enchanting as before,
Ceylons famed cocoa palms that fringe
the shore,
And palaces of Oriental kings.
Much travel made us sigh for lifting
wings,
The feet will falter but the soul must
soar,
And every new delight presages more,
For life has much to give the heart that
sings.
But when we found no further time to
roam,
Those vibrant days were naught but
memories;
I felt my heart speed eagerly away,
My calendar held one red-letter day,
I dreamed-a little house amid the trees,
The place where life begins; I call 1t

dinner table in our home. The starlit
night was quiet. A cool breeze drifted
in from the garden. There was lighted
lamp in the front window and the hall
light shone as usual. The shades were
not drawn; there was no need for that
A program of violin music was coming
over the radio. Suddenly the broadcast
was interrupted. 1t was news flash
"Air raid warnings are being sounded
in Paris" a voice announced-thent the
violin solo was resumed. At that mo-
ment an airplane droned above our
home. For us the sound held no terror.
We continued our meal and the radio
poured forth its music.
Thank God we are Americans and
America is at peace. Let every indi-
yidual strive to keep 1t 50.
