should stay at home and attend to
their own affairs? Certainly, we
have enough problems at home to
occupy our full time.
Committee Hears DR.. Townsend.
On Friday the Ways and Means
committee devoted the entire day to
hearing DR.. Townsend explain his
plan to bring about recovery through
the granting of pensions to all over
60 years of age and it was quite
generally agreed that he made very
good witness. Certainly, no one
questioned his sincerity. He main
tains that under his plan national
income can be built up to a point
where it would be possible to pay
even more than 5000 month. A
while back 1 received a letter from
George HORNED, of the HORNED Pack
ing Company, advocating that some
thing along this line be done. In
a three-page letter Mr.. HORNED, who
is chairman of the HORNED Packing
Company, made out strong case
for the Townsend plan. When a
man who has been as successful as
Mr.. HORNED advocates that something
along the line of the Townsend plan
be enacted as recovery measure
the proposal cannot be lightly dis
missed.
Beginning next week the commit
tee will hear those who are opposed
to H. R. 2 and H. R. IL so we will
have every opportunity to hear both
sides.
Justice Brandeis Retires.
Last week Justice Brandeis ten
dered to the President his resignation
as Justice of the Supreme Court and
the event recalled the bitter fight
that was made against his confir-
nation by the Senate back in 1916.
At that time he was called a wild
radical who would be a menace to
the Republic in that capacity. Today,
Mr.. Brandeis has the respect of all.
He stands for a liberal philosophy
that is in tune with new times.

Snow-blocked roads continue to be
a problem in this community. Most
of the roads had become passable by
Saturday only to be blocked worse
than ever by the snowstorm Sunday.
Determination to attend the annual
creamery meeting Tuesday put con-
siderable pep into the task again
and several shoveling crews were
out to help the snowplows get
through. Thus at least the main
roads were opened.

be placed by the War department
with private concerns to familiarize
them with products for war needs;
training 10000 pilots annually; and
increasing the regular army by about
$4,000.
Ere this appears in print additional
requests for preparedness appropri-
ations will be made by the War and
Navy departments, including an item
of $5,000,000 for the deepening of
the harbor in Guam preliminary to
establishing air and submarine bases
there. Guam is 1900 miles from
Japan and naturally the Japanese
strongly object to our having an out
post so near to their country.
l am afraid that we are travelling
the same road that we did during
the two or three years Immediately
prior to our entrance into the World
war. Last year Congress appropri-
ated, over my protest, nearly two
thousand million dollars for prepar-
edness and it now appears probable
that an amount equally large will be
made available for the same purpose
this year.
Against whom are we arming?
That is pertinent question that the
American people would like to have
answered.
1t seems that we are pursuing an
unwise and dangerous foreign policy
that may ultimately lead to war;
We have served notice on the world
that no foreign country will be per-
mitted to gain a foothold on this
hemisphere, and those countries that
now have possessions here will not
be allowed to increase their hold
ings. So far, so good. It means
America for Americans. Are we not
just little inconsistent when we
insist on maintaining soldiers and
marines in China and a fleet in
Chinese waters, which is in opposi-
ton to the japanese policy of Asia
for the Asiatics? Both policies are
equally defensible. And both will,
I fear, in time lead to war.

"The question, for instance, as to

them and ourselves. Germany, at
any rate, is a great and sovereign

Quite apart from that, however, l
