IF ENGLAND WERE
UNDER ADOLF HITLER

Whether Prime Minister Neville I nam
berlain rides out the British cabinet crlS-
is. or whether Britain would be better
off with somebody else at the helm'
makes no difference in the too often over
looked fact that the very crisis itself
demonstrates the strength as we'll as the
weakness of the British government.
1t demonstrates Democracy.
If Adolf Hitler, or somebody like Int
Ter, were in charge of the British gov
ernment there would be no crisis today.
Those critics who might stir it up would
long since have been "liquidated No
one would dare speak up against the
head of the government 1t would be
tantamOunt TO treaSon-and treason to
death to speak against the ruler
Perhaps it is the weakness of a De
mOcracy that it cannot in times OF stress
move as fast as a dictatorship. and that
is cannot squelch criticism from within
by the simple eXpedient of numbering the
critics. But it must also be recognized as
the strength of a Democracy, for it rep
resentS the freedom without which no ma
tion can last very long, as time goes in
history.
Criticism, as in the case Of England,
does not mean weakness against COM
mon foe The British will present no
less common front against the Germans
because of their family squabble. They
will, rather, be more determined than
ever that they must win The very crltl-
cism is a sign of that determination be-
cause it represents resentment of defeat
even on a minor scale.
In the case of Germany, a different
rule app les. Criticism is not tolerated.
Defeats, if suffered would not be admit
ted to the German ctiZenry. Anyone who
dared criticize the way things were being
run would be summarily dispatched from
this earth Yet the time is coming when
the Germans. promised quick victory and
everlasting glory, will begin to wonder
how long the war will last. If the Ger
man troops suffer severe defeat and the
German citizens hear about it, as they
must eventually, their bitterness at reali-
zation of betrayal by their leaders will
know no bounds. The leaders will, in the
end, answer to the people.
A Democracy, with criticism ever pres
ent, is able to carry on because its people
know of their reverses as we'll as their
triumphS. A dictatorship is able to carry
on only as long as it can fool the people.
The dictatorship may win over the
short haul, but or the long road the race
will go to the Democracy-becauSe It is
a Democracy.

Willis Thorntons Editorial On:
Another Hemisphere Link

ON YOUR GUARD MEN

Note that she is addressing her remarks
to the wife.
This editorial is addressed to the hus-
band. 1t is a warning to stay clear of
the gay twin clothes" idea, and we hope
that no local stores have laid in a stock
of them.
Man, if your wife gets the gay twin
clothes" idea be on your guard Assert
yourself, now. In the first place, she
wouldn't wear your kind of clothes you
would wear her kind. You would be
prancing down the street before sum-
mer had passed, like a fairy, wearing
pansies in your hair

submitted far enough. Many Of us are

fear her power and Influence, agree hasti
ly to the plan provided she'll wear your
clothes first. Then bring out your hunt

Industry must pass taxes on to the
consumer. When taxes pass beyond rea-

Nothing gives greater returns than
those hours in your garden. But to
get the best returns, it is impor-
tant to know which plants provide
the most food value.
Tomatoes are especially rich in

and minerals. Even green tomatoes
have their valuable vitamin con-
tent Tomatoes, incidentally, are
among the few vegetables which can
be safely canned without use of a
pressure cooker.
Next come carrots. cooked or un-
cooked. They are high in food value
and important because their deli

WASHINGTON, May l0-Busi-
mess Is i iitte better, unemploy-
mtnt is slowly dropping, general
prospects aren't too bad-but only
Il Republican administration at
Washington will really bring back
prosperity.
That's fair summary of opinion
among top business leaders here
foI the annual convention of the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce.
The fact that they feel that way
isn't news-but the matter of ex-
actly why they feel that way is
worth a little study. A good man to
talk to about it is Lothair Teetor,
president of the Indiana State
Chamber of Commerce and head of
Il prosperous piSton-ring manufac-
turing concern at Ha9erstoWn, Ind.
Mr.. Teetor doesn't get emotional
about that man" He simply ex-
presses himself as a business man
who feels his job has got unneces-
sayllv perpleXing of late.
1t isn't any one thing this ad-
minlstration has done" he says.
It's the general attitude, which
makes US feel there's no telling
what is coming next. IT'S the un-
certainty that we can't get away

SOCIETY'S HYBRID

Modern society is founded on respect
for law and the rights of others That.
in a nutshell, is the basis of civilization.
But leaders of the CIO seems never to
have considered the social rules which
elevated their ancestors from the tree
climbing state.
In San Fraycisco this week CIO pick
cts fought with police not once but sew
eral times.
They flouted the only available agen-
cies of the law that were available-the
courts and the law enforcement branch.
Anarchy is a harsh Word-but what
else can you call it?
When the law crumbles, you have moth
ing-and the CIO is doing its best to see
that the law crumbles.

Within a month another link in
the chain binding the western hem
lSphere into an economic unit is
expected to be forged. The creation
of the Inter American Bank by
five countries. Brazil, Colombia,
Mexico, Nicaragua. and the United
States, is likely to be accomplished
soon.
This is a highly important step.
1t may reSr" III an almost revolu-
tionary change in financial and
economic relati, rs between the
countries Of IL Americas.
This undertaking is completely
different from the present Import
= Export Bank This is not an under
taking of the United States. but
a joint undertaking Of the five
countries, and perhaps later of
others who may join. 1t will be
more like the Bank for Internation-
al Settlements.
1t will be controlled by a board
consisting of one member from each
participating country Capital will
be subscribed by each in proportion
to the dollar value of the foreign
trade of each in 1888.
The object is broad-to promote
trade between the Americas, to fos-
ter good will, to help stabilize cur
