AS the President so wildly pointed OUT, none
Of us likes to think Of that sort OF world as d
heritage for our children.
With the Presidents summary of American
foreign policy most Americans are IN nearly
agreement. He says the influence OF this couh'
try should be exerted in behalf OF re-estao'
fishing peace, and that while war goes on our
moral influence, at least, should remain derl-
nitely against aggressor nations. The surge OF
sympathy for Finland which has swept over
the country is proof enough that the people
are with the President on that point.
Particularly significant is his call for reten-
ton of the Hull reciprocal trade program as a
distinctly American contribution to a saner
and more just world order. He v1suallzes tnat
nrogram. not only as an economic necessity
for this country, but as the only practlcal
means of bringing about a ralrer olstrloutlon
Of goods among nations.
Congress will receive presidential
dations for increased defense appropriations
which. Mr.. Roosevelt said, are not as great
as those desired by scared extremists or as
small as those advocated by persons who see
no danger for the United States in the inter-
national larceny which has become standard
practice in recent years.
Thinking Americans hope congress will fol.
low the Presidents budgetary recommends
lions, which, he says, call for decreases in
nearly all departments except defense.
In order to reduce the deficit, the chief
executive asked for additional taxes to finance
increased defense spending. He believes, in
other words, that our defense program should
be carried out on a cash basis, thus clearing
the wav for a real deduction in the deficit.
It is true, Of course, that business and in
dustry and the people are heavily taxed now.
New taxes will be burdensome, but we be-
lieve the majority Of business men and other
citizens will agree it is better to shoulder de-
Tense burdens now than to continue piling
deficit on deficit for payment in the future.

Even a faulty memory has its adj

year-old mill worker, walked out of
an Allentown, Pa, doctors office
with the wrong bottle of medicine in
his pocket. The bottle he carried
contained deadly poison. When the
doctor discovered the mistake he
futilely instituted a frantic search
for the youth, enlisted the aid of
teletype and other means of COM
munication. Hours later when
Hem returned home to his worried
family they asked anxiously, 'Have
you taken any of your medicine?"
The youth snapped his fingers self
reprovingly, remarked: Gosh, /
