eOOliSHNESS ABOUT
HOMEDO TUBES

Njnety-nine out of a hundred Amerl-
cans will cheer President Roosevelt Tor
sending to the Allies those 20 high-speed
ultra-modern torpedo boats. that makes
II all the more difficult TO understand
WHY the administration has descended
to palpable deceit in the matter.
If those boats will help Great Britain
hold off the German mailman, then let
send them and hundred more across
the water But, for the love of democ-
racy let's not try to fool the people
about what we are doing.
The secrecy with which the present
administration has moved in such mat
tiers, and the flimsy excuses offered when
the secrecy is torn away, certainly do
nothing to increase our confidence IN
such leadership.
The torpedo boats, for instance. were
built from the ground up according to
British navy specifications. They were
built with 18-inch torpedo tubes, when
22-inch tubes are standard for the Amer
lean navy. Eightecn-inch tubes are stand
ard for the British navy. Even President
Roosevelt's secretary, Stephen I. Early.
admitted that. had the 20 boats been
turned over to the U. S. navy. no 1S-inch
torpedoes to make them effective could
have been available before Fall
The boats just did not fit into the
American naval scheme. The only logic
al conclusion left is that. from the begin
ming of construction, they were intended
for the British navy. That, or else some
u. S. navy officials were guilty of
bunder which should cost them their
jobs.
Yet the administration explains lame
ly that the boats were turned over TO
the Allies simply because the torpedo
tubes were not standard.
There are few who will protest the
transfer. fewer who will believe that 1t
was not intended since the beginning.
But, if we are to- continue with a govern
ment BY THE PEOPLE, reflecting the
peoples desires, why should the admins
traitor try to hide that which is appar-
ent to anybody?
The people of America are still en-
titled to voice in the governments poll
cies. A far greater threat to democracy
than that of any dictator from alien
shores is entailed in the efforts of any
one, regardless who, to direct this coun-
try's policies without telling the people
what is going on, and why.
We admit that secrecy is necessary In
some things. notably military maneuvTs
and defense strategy. but we deny whole
heartedly that secrecy is even desirable
in the dealings of this country with an
other nation

Mayor La Guardia of New York,
deeply distressed by the entrance

dia is an American of Italian orr
gins, and fought with the italians
in an American aviation unit dur
ing the World War;, has called at
tention to a point of the greatest
Importance.
The persons of duly accredited
consular officers will be fully pro-
tected, he assured, and all of their
rights under the treaties respected.
But, he added:
"On the other hand, may most
respectfully say we shall expect
consular officers to adhere strictly
to their consular duties
Those are fair, clear words, and
they lay down a basic policy which
without doubt all the people of the
United States will echo.
Diplomats and consular officers
are privileged people. Countries re-
ceive them from the lands OF their
origin to facilitate official com
munication between the countries,
to smooth the paths of trade. and
to look after the interests of citizens
of the country from which they
come in the country where they are
accredited.
But it ought to be plainly noted
that the consular and diplomatic
privileges apply only to persons
plainly accredited by their home
governments in performing services
and duties agreed on by treaty be-
tween the two countries concerned.
They do not include working for
the home country in any way out
side those agreed channels andf
fields.
The country faced this problem
when it was yet young. Citizen"

ANOTHER DANGER
TO DEMOCRACY
(ChicagO Trlbune)

What seems to be the Triumphant pow
CT of Europe is based upon the dcprlVa-
tons contained in the new British law.
That form of government in the ascend

ing the rest of the world to meet and
equal its achievements. 1t is supported,
even where it does not prevail, by people
whose purpose is to make over the rest
of the world in such an image.
We have that purpose here in the
United States. 1t has gone so far as to
be incorporated in bills resembling the
one Mr.. Attlee presented to parliament.
For the most part these bills anticipate
a war involving the United States. So
much progress has been made that the
American idea of government has been
undermined There are large and influ-
entail organizations supporting just
such an obiteration of everything that
has made civilization possible and in
dividual life important.
Many of these organizations arc not
motivated by Marxist. fascist or nazi
ideas, but arc moved by what people
have been led to think is justice and
equity to all in wartime. These sentl-
ments arc craftily manipulated by the
men who have other intentions. Many

TREMENDOUS
MARKET LOOMS
/ Nevada State JOurnaD

Two reports pointing toward better
times have been prepared by separate
authorities that fit we'll when hooked up.
Earl j. Cooper, who keeps the magazine,
Country Gentleman, informed on the
farm situation, predicts a S16,000,0O0,-
600 income for farmers in 1910, a sub
Stantial gain over that of 1889. Particu-
larry in such we'll settled and advanced
states as those of the North Central and
North West sections. are conditions prom
Using.
That the farmers own needs will
prompt free spending of the increased
income encourages the expectation that
the nations basic industry once more
will stimulate manufacturing and trade
of many kinds. \ survey conducted by
the Chamber of Commerce of the United
States shows that farm homes on the
average are greatly in need of modern
advantages.
\ report of this survey shows that less
than Is per cent of farm houses have
the convcnienccs of running water, in
door toilet facilities ad bathrooms. Only
about II per cent have water supplied
in the dwelling by the convcnienceS of
hand pumps. A little more than Z per
cent have both hot and cold water sys-
tens. About one-fifth of farm homes
have some form of modern lighting syS-
TEN. either gas or electricity.
Of course, it follows that homes so
poorly supplied with the simplest con-
veniences lack the many labor saving
devices that are everywhere offered for
sale SO when the predicted increase of
income is realized. the farm folk surely
will be in the market buying more of the
necessities and luXurieS.

Jobs for June
Graduates
BY MAX b. ROBINSON
Director Of Cooperative Work,
Fem College Y. NJ. c. A.


Sell yourself-not your college
degree. The employer is only inter
ested in what you can accomplish
for him. Your degree in itself guar
antees nothing.
Know what you want-apply for
something definite. And don't forget
the smile.
These pointers and many others
each year are offered to college sem
iors about to seek their places IN
business or industry. More of this
guidance and coaching could still
be used.
Employers seek college trained
men to provide future leadership
Except for few jobs requiring
highly specialized or technical
knowledge. their immediate needs
could be filled from non-collcge
ranks
In using graduates. therefore, en-
ploycrS expect other qualities be-
sides mere knowledge of facts. The
ability to Influence people, to ana
I'VE. to find facts as needed, and to
make reasonable decisions-these
must accompany the college degree.
or It may be worthless as an aid to
employment and promotion.
One should not ask SO seriously,
What arc the chances for ad-
vanccment?' and expect the would
bc-employer to outline his whole
future. This man is always willing
to begin at the bottom but in the
same breath he wants to know how
long he will have to stay there.
This may be a perfectly natural
question, but some of the smarter
seniors are leaving it unasked. To
the employer, the chances for adj
vancement seem good for the right
man. Most employers would not
hire college men unless they felt
they could advance.
On his first job, the graduate
should remain inconspicuous AS a
college man in the eyes of other
workers at least until hc is well
OrIcntcd and has the feel of the
organization.
Ono of the greatest aids to COL
lcgc men is actual working exper-
fence before graduation, say dur
ing summer vacations (if obtain
able them or during a year out of
school.
Cooperative colleges which regu-
larly schedule quarter or half years
Of college work, are on the right
at work in between similar intervals
track They are bringing education
and the needs of business and in
dustry into close relationship, and
giving the student an opportunity
to build a perspective which the
student without experience must
lack
The opportunity to try ones self
at work under real discipline, to
observe different jobs at different
levels to understand worker atti-
tu1ps through close contacts at an
earlier age, may prove to be guild
ancc aids out of all proportions to
the remuneration received. That Is
why cooperative graduates have
experienced little trouble in finding
satisfactory opportun mites after
graduation.
That many graduates find the
doors to employment and promotion
wide opcr is more than a matter
Of luck. 1t suggests that those who
have trouble may be definitely a,
fault, and need clearer under.
standing of what is expected and
the procedure involved.
With this in mind, our college
and Y NJ c. A. personnel bureaus
are giving increasing effort to &C.
cupational guidance and TO the arr
and strategy Of job finding.
