of us followed those suggestions Amer
lea would be better protected than by
an army Of many million!
Its first suggestion is that we read
the Constitution and the Monroe Doct
rine, as the authors of this book did
a few months ago, and that we learn
the words Of our "Star Spangled Ban

ing again the thrilling history of the
United States. We'll find it means
more to us now than it ever did before
showing us clearly the Threat of BEST

tougher our bodies and find new spir-
itual power.
Then, after these personal develop
ments, comes suggestions for meeting
preblms of the community and the nat
ion. how TO handle Fifth Column with
common sense and without prejudlce;
how to spot propaganda against those
of other races or against our American
system of business which it would
serve our enemies to undermine; how
to work with the genuinely American
youth movements of the country and
with the various organizations of our
community and how to cooperate with
South America. Finally, how to pre-
pare for "Mp day, and crystalize our
creed so that we, representative dem

NO CONTROVERSY

No serious argument has been adj
vanced by any serious person against
the repeal Of the double liability of
bank stockholders in the State of
Washington. Nor is this surprising.
There is today no good reason for
maintaining this antiquated provision
of law. And there are several reasons
for abandoning it. The electorate of
this state should be unanimous in
November in approving the constitu-
tutional amendment which would abol-
ish double liability now attaching to
the stock of the State banks.
Double liability has been done away
by law of Congress for nationally
chartered banks and by forty-two
states in respect to State Banks. There
il no reason for penalizing Washing
ton State banks through law which
imposes more exacting requirements en-
them.
The overwhelming argument for
this proposed amendment, however
lis the simple fact that the bank de-
posts in virtually all banks are now
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation and in effect
by the combined resources of the coun-
try's banking institutions. This being
the case, the double liability of stock
holders for their investments in bank
capital is wholly Unnecessary. 1t is in
teresting to note that both the FEEDER

Keep the Libraries Free

The American Library Association is already planning to fight the efforts at censorship which are almost certain to come. It is setting up committee which will put the force and influence of the A. L. A. behind any local library board which is confronted with demands for censorship of it's books. Libraries must be universal. They are for all the people. A moments thought will show that if every group could get the books thrown out of the libraries which it thinks bad, there would be no more libraries worth the name.
 The very book which you want to find there is the book somebody else wants thrown out as evil. And the book you want thrown out is the book somebody else wants to consult. Group distation can only destroy the very essence of libraries, and impair their usefulness to all Because we dislike book-burners is certainly no reason to start burning books.

FRENCH WEST INDIES

The biggest news that will come out of the Havana conference of Pan-American foreign ministers is a proposal to administer the French possessions in this hemis- phere under an inter-American trust.
 The threat of German occupa- tion of colonial territory is the principal reason for calling the Havana conference. A concrete proposal has been worked out in Washington which will be pre- scented as soon as 1t opens.
 This calls for joint administra- ton of the French possessions, without change of their present form of local government, but pro- viding 8 substitute for the French colonial office, and guaranteeing that there shall be no change of sovereignty.
 Diplomats anticipate that Hit Ter will try to check this by a formal declaration along the lines of his recent press inter- view-namely, that he has no intention of disturbing the sit- uation in the Western Hemis- phere.
 But this pledge is discounted in advance. The position of the American republics is that the possessions belong to the French Republic, and will be held in trust until France regains her freedom.

Defense Moves Forward

We as people are extremists. We are either way up or \ ay down. We go all the way. That is not without its ad- vantages in world which runs With emotion for gasoline. But it has it's tall- ings. It is necessary to rise to high pitches of emotion and enthusiasm. But 1t is also necessary to follow through - to set goal and hold grimly to it after the initial enthusiasm begins to eob away.
 Take the matter of defense, for in- stance. For 20 years, right in the face of a Europe and Asia that were feverishly preparing for the wars that now deso- late both, we yaWned, and allowed that it was all pretty terrible but it couldn't touch US. During all those 20 years we never built battleship. We let the army go to seed. We held our air forces, good though they were in quality, down to minimun1S.
 War came to Asia, then to Europe. Even for the first six months of Europe's war we dawdled. "Phony!" some said. Plenty of time Then, in all its fury the war broke bounds. Hullabaloo! Hysterla! Lid off appropriations! All of a sudden, quick like bunny, we were going to grind out 5000 airplanes day from one plant. NO UOQy GVcIl StOPpSO CO 1l1uA1APAy 'AAeao " coo and to realize that it means million and half planes in year, requiring three million pilots and ground staffs ot 15,O00,0OO.
 Now we are settling down to reality. Level-headed General Marshall, the chief of staff, has pointed out that we have two problems of defense, not one. The first is to get into some kind of forma- ton the defense forces we now have. This is already being done. Bases have been reinforced and further protected. Small forces have been assembled and consolidated into effective units Reserve officers, of whom we fortunately have a sizeable force, are being called up. Ma tional Guard training is rapidly being placed on a realistic basis The countryS readiness for an instant emergency is far greater than it was even six weeks ago.
 But no long term program can possibly be ready in time to affect the outcome of Europe's present crisis. That program is aimed at enabling the United States to live in comparative security in what ever kind of world emerges from the pres ent. That is where the follow-through comes in.

have shut our eyes to the dangers confronting us. Now a catastrophe of great magnitude has arisen and it is impossible for us at once to lay down the outlines and methods with which we must face the emer- gency.
 We in this country may first experience the pressure from dicta- torships in meeting their competi- tion for the control of world trade. In this economic struggle, we will be contending against countries which have conscripted their labor at long hours, minimum wages and working conditions fixed by the State. There the spirit of voluntary enterprise has vanished, though a semblance of its form may persist. Here at home we are under the im- polling necessity of speeding up our production to meet the new burdens to be imposed upon 1t. In both of these contests, which will test oua strength to the utmost, our best line of defense is to leave American In- dustry and labor free to work out their own problems with a minimum of governmental interference. In carrying out an adequate plan for military defense, which is our immediate objective, the nation will not readily accept, nor will 1t be able to stand, the heavier burden of taxation now contemplated, unless all waste and extravaganza is cut out of our national budget. WPA ap- propriations must be limited to such grants in aid as the states are them selves willing to support in major parts and to administer. All direct subsidies must be dropped. All un- necessary government bureaus must be eliminated and the number of governmental civil employees radical ly reduced. Domestic federal loans must be restricted for such pur- poses as are essential to self-defense.
 No one can exaggerate the magni- tude of the task that we have ahead of us; but if we set about 1t in the American way, our ability to meet and overcome our problems will grow stronger day by day as we advance.

Wendell Willkie seems to have been elected in spite of the Republican party. The New York Herald praises the peo- pies choice "They recognized the quality of Wendell Willkie on sight, and the sound of his voice. They insisted upon his nomination and they got him nomi- mated in a convention unique in Ameri- can party history" Out of this choice will grow, so it is predicted new Re publican party. Dorothy Thompson, who says the Republican convention was "one of the strangest experiences of my life'' places much hope in Willkie to present a standard that is not one of terror and fear" She says that mot a single, hon. est, truthful, brave, uplifting word came out of the convention to waiting, pal pitating world" She too says the people nominated Wendell Willkie.

The high hat is on the way out. Silk hats, we mean, and opera hats, the kind little boys throw snowballs at in the car toons. The Wage-Hour Administration is authority for this. They're declining in popularity so fast that in a recent year production of mere 9,544 copies of the tall male millinery supplied all the na- tion'S needs.
 The neat fedora, the crisp sailor, the snappy Panama, the cap, sombrero,. or chaste Homburg, these appear to satisfy the U. s. A. We don't want high hats Or brass hats. What we need right now is lot more tin hats And we're going to get 'em!

Chemistry and Freedom

In the test tubes of the chemists new independence is being created for the United States. It is independence of foreign sources for certain basic ma terials. AS scientists bend to their tasks of research, each day brings us closer to the time when we shall no longer have to speak of ''vital interests" in the Far East or elsewhere which might have to be de- tended by force to keep necessary raw materials coming in. Production has ac- tually begun on new synthetic rubber" made entirely of domestic materials, and by fall new B. F. Goodrich Company plant will be producing several tons of Ameripol each day. The basic source IS petroleum.
 Buna, Thiokol, and other compounds are already being produced as partial substitutes for rubber. While production of all the various synthetic rubbers last year totaled only 1,700 tons against 592,- 900 tons of natural rubber, star has been made, and there is room for assurance that in desperate emergency production of these "erSatZeS" could be stepped up enough to provide absolutely essential rubber products.
 This development of chemistry may literally change the world. In the past, peoples fought each other for sources of raw materials. In the future, the may all be producing within themselves all vitally necessary raw materials, thus cas- ing the pressure for access to the sources of the natural products The Rayons and Nylons mean independence of foreign silk. The Ameripols, Bunas, and Thio- kols, the Duprenes, Neoprenes, Guya- yules, and KoroSeals may mean independ- ence of foreign rubber.
 There is not now single vitally i'm portant chemical that the United States cannot produce. That was not true 25 years ago when war swept Europe and the country found itself cut off from sup plies of dyes and drugs. The platsics and resins are only beginning to show what they can do, and already airplane fuse lages and wings are being moulded" from such materials. A whole new world is Towering from those test tubes With it could come an end to the grasping competitive rush for raw materials which has so often deluged the world with blood. But here again, man will have to show more intelligence than he has re- vealed thus far if he is to take advantage of this glorious opportunity.
