PREPARING FOR PEACE

Possibly Secretary of State Cordell Hull exag- gerates a bit when he testifies before the Senate Committee on Finance in support of the reciprocal trade program that 100000 900 persons may be idle after the war is over. The Secretary is on sound ground however, when he argues that the end of the war will bring, as the end of wars always has brought serious economic and financial resdiust ments.
 Hull is also right in calling the attention of the Committee, and of the public to the fact that the gravity and proracted duration of the period Of ad 1ustment following the great were due in no small part to the creation of States each of which sought to protect it's economic position by restricting as far possible it's trade with the rest It would not be far wrong to say that it was the impossbility of completing the adjustments made necessary by the World War largely because of trade barriers, that made the present European conflict unavoidable
 It is well also to bear in mind that the United States at the close of the last war instead of as sumng leadership in a move to lower tariffs and encourage trade passed emergency" tariff act as soon as possible and thus aided and abeted the new and old European nations which seeking both prosperity and security for themselves in iso- laton.
 For this nation to permit to expire this year the legislation under which the Hull pacts have been negotiated would be to repeat the unhappy his tory of the emergency tariff act of 1921 and the Fordney- -McCumber act of the following year.

WEDNESDAY. MARCH 20

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20
 Mingled good and evil aspects are discerned in the Horoscope for to- day. It is an suspicious date tc launch new enterprises, but unfavor- able for women, even though they may be especially -witted un- der this configuration. The stars to- day stimulate all who exercise dic- tatorial powers.
 Heart and Home: Women may be restless and discontented under this sway which quickens the intuition and encourages demands upon the men of the family. Owing to fem mine intuition wives may foresee financial difficulties and desire to interfere with their husbands busi- ness plans. Girls in college should benefit from stimulating influences upon the mentality. It is not time for romance, but for practical real ities.
 Business Affairs: Prosperity will continue in the United States where trade and commerce will expand. Bankers will be concerned with leg islative efforts affecting information al finance. Speculation should be avoided. The year is to bring about amazing events that produce strange effects upon commercial matters. The political pot will boil over often in the next few weeks but little dam age will be done to trade and com merce. Astounding inventions and chemical discoveries will contribute to American wealth and efficiency.
 National Issues: Influx of refu- gees from European countries will cause anxiety. Despite immigration bars great many victims of per- secution and war horrors will gain entrance to the United States where they will prove serious competitors in American business and profes- sions. The seers predict ultimate gain through European scholars and 
 business executives trained in for eign cities.
 International Affairs: Finland is to become a pivotal state upon which will turn future issues of the European War. Dictators will unite in major efforts to crush the dem ocratic ideals of the world and will form new pactS which involve Asia, Perils for the United States are presaged.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of per- plexities which may include un- expected inheritances or sudden windfallS of property.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be dreamy and poetic in nature. These subjects of Pisces may be artistic and magnetic. Their health should be safeguarded with care.

PANAMA, ACHILLES HEEL

The Panama Canal is not only a waterway of great commercial value it is the keystone of the defense of the Western Hemisphere. Unless every precaution is taken to keep the canal in operation it may some cay become the Achilles heel in the defense of the Americas.
 It is in the hope ol avoiding such contingency that President Roosevelt wans Congress of the dan ger of delaying military and commercial improve ments The Chief Executive had closely inspected the defenses of Panama on his holiday voyage to the Pacific.
 The United States, as measure of self preser- vation has undertaken to cooperate with the other American republics in the defense of the Western Hemisphere against outside aggression. To belitte the possibility of such attack is to ignore the facts the canal closed by sabotage or surprise attack this country would find it's present navy wholly inadequate
 There has been much talk in recent months concerning the construction of second canal across the old Nicaraguan route The argument has been advanced that should Panama be crippled or de- stroyed the second canal could be used The Ncara- guan route leads from the Atlantic up the Juan River, which flows between Nicaragua and Costa Rica into Lake Nicaragua and then passes through the narrow strip of Nicaragua territory between the lake and the Pacific Ocean
 We had enough unpleasantness with Colombia in getting territory for the Panama Canal. In the Nicaraguan would have two countries to deal with. The cost of construction would be more than $60O0OO0o 0oO the territory to be defended would be more than 200 miles and more locks would be required than at Panama It would take 12 to Is years to complete.
 By building third lock at Panama away from the main channel at cost of $2750Oooo0 the danger of losing the of the canal by bombing sabotage would be greatly lessened. It would take only six years to construct and could be defended by the present forces. The purpose of second canal would be served at infinitely less cost less political trouble and danger.
 The need for more arplanes to increase the pre- cautionary patrol in all directions and for in creased anti-aiIeraft guns emphasized by the President his return to the capital The Hous

Advice from Dr. Goebbels
(New York Times)


 That pellucid thinker, that good gentle tolerant eaSygoing statesman Herr Doktor Joseph Goebbes the Nazi Minister of Enlightenment and Propaganda has just read the neutral countries another lecture Tt is not sufficient at al" he says If the govern ment of neutral State proclaims it's neutral at- tude in this while public opinion has the free dom to insult To be neutral means to hold oneself out of the conflict in every respect" We can't that Dr. Goebbels was talking to us We can assume that he trying to bully some public man, some newspaper or perhaps some barber or milkman housewife in Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Norway or one of the weaker Balkan countries He was trying to tell the governments of those countries that they musn allow statesmen, newspapers, barbers, mikmen or housewives to express the opinion that any informed and decent human being must have about Dr. Goeb- bes and his colleagues. Perhaps the German Army will go out and prance up and down along the Bel- gian or Dutch border if Dr. Goebbels is not listened to- The inference as to German aims is clear. There isn't going to be any free speech in Europe or elsewhere if the Nazis help it.
 Well, We are a long way off and quite safe Our government has not urged us, it did in 1914 to be neutral in thought. We say what we like of Dr. Goebbels and his friends. But the truth is We can't insult them No one can insult a govern ment which is somewhere between 800 and 25,000 years behind the times in every attribute of cvlza ton and human decency.
