they cannot function effectively in a
crisis. Why does not America set to
work to discount and disprove that
allegation?
The bund and all other organiza-
tons under foreign control or with
foreign connections ought to be out
lawed totally. Does any one in the
least doubt where the bund would
be found in the event of war with
Germany, and particularly German
invasion or an attempt at it? Yet we
allow it TO exist, to expand and to
prosper.
For our own part, we do not
know how to say more than we
have said and reiterated over and
over again about what seems to us
10 be the paramount necessity Of a
firm policy against these foreign
iSmS. Unless we do move in this
direction speedily, we may live to
regret our inertia and indifference.

5. Senator Timothy BloodWorth,

leader in the state for many years.

public office was collector of GUS

Revamping Route l

Serious thought is being given
by Washington military authorities
to revamping Route in such man.
ner as to make it serviceable as Il
great artery of travel for the army.
1t is one Of several prominent and
heavily travelled highways in this
State receiving attention for this
purpose.
Already Route l is carrying its
heaviest traffic load of perhaps any
highway in the nation, considering
its length. II it were to be pressed
into service as great military road,
traffic would be still heavier, per-
hapS twice as much as now.
This may be the answer to our
prayer for the Improvement, by wild
ening and re-surfacing, Of this lane
of travel. Most people ana sections
vitality concerned would be willing
to assume the risks that would ac-
company mass movements Of army
mechanical units. if only this roao
can be made what they desire it to
be. Yet ii the government does the
work, it will be done for govern
ment uses, and that very thing could
multiply the hazards that already eN-
list.
For our part. we would accept the
consequences, in the thought that
the benefits might offset the dangers.
There would be the possibility
maybe even probaloility-hoWever, Of
strict Federal supervision, which,
though imposing added regulations,
very likely would at the same time
assure greater safety. That, after all,
is one of the chief considerations.
II Route will be of service in as
surfing a greater measure OF nation
al defense, there will be scant objec-
ton to Uncle Sam spending on the
highway all the money he will and
using it to his hearts content.

What, So Soon?

Frost and sub-freezing tempera-
lures in northern New York State
sound like 4 long hard winter.
Truck crops are reported damaged,
and another unpleasantness about the
incident is the prospect OF cold rhills
racing up and down the spine in con-
temptation Of what may come when
Old Man Winter really blows in. And,
if this is true barometer, that time
may not be so long off.
It will be good news to the coal
and fuel oil brethren. Maybe they
can envision prosperity at the eX-
pense of Us who are less Fortunate.

worse even than that. And another

SHIPS FOR BRITAIN
DEBATED OVER AIR
Senators Nye and Donaher
Oppose Senator Pepper
and Col. Breckenridge

Washington, Aug. 26.-(AP)-Sen-
ators Nye (R-ND) and Danaher (R-
Comm contended last night that the
transfer of destroyers to Great Bri-
tain would constitute an act Of war
while Sem Pepper (D-Fla) and Col.

yer, argued that it might avert war
from this country.
They. discussed the proposal on the
American forum of the air.
Nye characterized as silly pala-
yer" the convention that the United
States was dependent upon the Brit
ish navy, asserting that the best
military authority has demonstrated
how little force could be moved
against us by victorious Hitler"
Danaher said that the Omitted
States was bound by domestic and
international law TO refrain from
such transfer.
Supplying destroyers to England
is recognized act of war and the
American people should fully realize
it." he asserted :. II we made avail
able to Eng. and some of our Destroy
ers for use in the war, inevitably we
enter that war"
Expressing the view that addition
of so destroyers to the British fleet
might mean the difference between
victory and defeat for Britain, Pep
per said:
These So World War destroyers
could be of no higher service to their
countrys safety than II, by maintain
ing England's naval supremacy, they
can keep England's enemy and our
own from the shores of the United
States"
Breckenridge said that 80 Destroy
crs to England may be worth 500 to
us five weeks from now" because
they may Turn the tide of battle
against our declared enemies"

Mere Coincidence

Many there be who we'll remember
how North Carolina and Oh ,nl'S
OF the National Guard were mo",-'.a
ana sent into Mexico in 1916 - Il
wilc g .ySe chase after PanCho Villa.
They marched across the burning
sands OF the cactus country but never
once got a glimpse OF the Mexican
bandit leader.
In the early spring of 1917 the
soldiers came back home ana were
discharged. \ few short months lat
e.. under the declaration OF war
against Germany. these same citizen
soldiers were impressed into service
for the duration of the war" and
most of them ultimately found their
destination in northern France. A
few OF them even found final rest IL
the soil OF Flanders. where some still
slumber peacefully. despite the re-
cent rumblingS over the earth which
for two decades has given shelter to
their dust.
Now a law has been passed by
Congress authorizing the President to
mobilize the National Guard for a
years training. And will any one
say that history will not repeat?
It is recalled. too. that 1916 was
an election year, and that guardSmen
were in Mexico at OF about the time
OF the election: anyhow they were in
service. This, too, is campaign
year, and we have not yet gone into
the war. A few months after the
election in 1916. and one month aft
er Woodrow Wilson was again inau-
gurated. the United States declared
war on Germany-April s, 1917. Is
President Roosevelt following the
Wilson technique? Will he likewise
lead his country into actual war as
soon as he is safely back in the
White House for d third term?
Then, as now. the President in Of
flee and seeking another term,
though but a second tenure, was a
Democrat.
Can there be significance in these
events? Are we not today treading
the same winepress which mere
twenty-three years ago felt the ia
rniliar thud of the same feet-the
feet Of American men and boys
marching away to war?

We Are Invaded

When the United States became
alarmed last spring about the speed
Of the German lightning war in
western Europe, great wave OF
fright rolled over the country lest
fifth columnists bring us within
their grasp before we knew what
was going on. Although Germany
succeeded in swallowing up every
thing attacked, a comparative lull
followed, and no new invasions have
occirred-as yet.
The result of this slackening of
the tempo has been that fifth col
umn talk has subsidized somewhat
But the meance has not disappeared,
nor is it less than it was. Quite to
the contrary, it is part of the bust
ness OF this enemy advance guard to
sing its victims to sleep as far as pos
sible, SO that they may be caught
mapping when the hour comes to
strike.
Congressman Dies, who for sew
eral years has been probing into
un-Americeln activities, has just
repeated warning against worry
Of a military invasion when the truth
is the fifth column invasion has al
ready taken place. These scoundrels
are now in our midst, and are hard
at their nefarious tasks while the
lation ignores them and allows them
to 60 their way.
Dies said he would make ma
tionWide speaking campaign in an
effort to arouse the people and would
demand # MIR Roosevelt and Mr..
Willkie thai each state unequivocally
whether or not he favors outlaWing
foreigN CO. rolled organizations.
Certain" ue.;ler should have any
hesitancy in liking q firm stand; it
cou!d not possibly hinder election
chances Of either.
One of the mysteries Of the gov
crnment's attitude toward these for
eign rurrnics is its tolerance of the
Geru.in-Amcriran Bund. 1t sent
old Fritz Kuhn to Sing Sing for en-
bezzling few hundred dollars OF
the bund's money, and then proceed
ed to let the organization continue
without molestation. 1t is still
functioning in big way, and has

Wanted Longer Hours

One explanation Of Harry HOP
kins' resignation from the Roosevelt
cabinet was that his health would not
permit him to work long hours. He
wanted to do about twelve day, ana
could stand only six, as the report
goes.
The strange part about it all is thai
men high in the government clam
hey cannot perform their duties in
UGH short time, yet they force m
iustry in the country to limit hours

SLIGHTLY more than Hopkins has been

official places might be good
thing. if practiced all along the line,

self to his task eight hours d day for
six days a week should be sent to
hospital for treatment. America did
not grow great and is not going to
remain great on work scale of forty
hours q wei. What is more. it Is
not going to prepare Itself adequately
against var on any such basis. at least
not in ne s, II time we have been
told is &. oar disposal.
The President has had no more
ard y. supporter and no more loyal
friend and admirer thar Harry Hop
kinS. Evidently he has reciprocated
that deep affection. We do not re-
call non. any cabinet member who
ever lived at the White House as
Hopkins has done for the past many
months. When Mr.. Roosevelt came
into the kingdom he brought Hop
kins along. Harry had ambitions to
sit in the cabinet. and old man Dan
Roper was made to walk the plank
as head of the Commerce Depart
.nent to make way for this social
worker. who knew about as much Of
the functions of the department as
the average small business executive
might be expected to know.
If Jesse H. Jones is given the
place and allowed SCme liberty of ac-
ton in running the business, it ought
to be lifted to a higher plane of serv-
ice in the field in which it operates.
Maybe he will have the physical
stamina to work twelve hours day
if he wishes. regardless of the wage
and hour law.
