Americanism which transcends every other issue and rises above every consideration of partisanship This is the right to disagree
 Here is of the most precious of our national heritages. Its roots older than the nation They may be traced in of the colonial charters by which stout pioneers of the 18th century wrested privileges from reluctant indifferent English kings and noble proprietors.
 This right to disagree tested by blood and fire in the days of the Revolution It rings in the deathless words of the Declaration of Independence Yet it was viewed with some suspicion by the more conservative of the founding fathers Thus it was that the Bill of Rights, without which the right to disagree would be untenable, amend ment rather than original part of the Consti- tuition.
 So the right to disagree has grown with the nation Over the years it has helped to nourish the ideal of ordered liberty Its potency is reflected in the instant and instnctive opposition of every thoughtful American to those individuals which either by application implication, threaten the full exercise of the rights of freedom of speech press and assembly.
 nation in which all always agreed would be dull place. Worse than that, it would be community in which progress had halted Out of differences of opinion grow sound development.
 This thought was in the mind of Chief Justice Hughes his recent address at the sesquicenennial celebration of the first session of the United States Supreme Court Noting that "it should occasion no surprise that there should be acute differences on constitutional law when in every other field in art theology, on the highest levels of scen- tific research there expert dispuants he wisely concludes that this is token of vitality. It is fortunate and not regretable that the avenues of criticism are open to all, whether they denounce or praise This is vital part of the democratic pro- cess"
 It should be obvious that the right to disagree has an importance which calls for more than anguid affirmation Justice Hughes does well to emphasize that criticism must be open to all whether they de- nounce praise"
 This necessarily means opportunity for the ex- pression of views abhors well as for the ideas one cherishes Freedom of speech never flourish on a one-way road
 It is a very human trait to take long established right for granted Herein lies danger. When machine is neglected it rusts. limb not used will atrophy If the time ever comes when the American ma jority views with indifference approval the curtailment of the right to disagree or comments the crbng of dissenters then the days of liberty will be numbered the Declaration of Independence will be due for repeal and the Bill of Rights ready for the scrap heap.

TOURIST OPPORTUNITY

There seems little doubt that the travel industry in the United States will reach a high in 1940 Already if has reached the six-billion dollar mark In announcing his support to Travel America program President Roosevelt perhaps has done some thing to give impetus American travel and recrea- ton.
 Surely the war in Europe, with the accompany ing restrictions on American movements in the war zones should divert the tourist to this hemisphere. American travel in Europe has amounted to $357,- 100000 more annually than foreign visitation in the United States
 Unquestionaby the Presidents program has had two effects One is the furtherance of the National Park and National Forest program and the joint action of steamship railway, air line bus, hotel and travel officials contribute jointly substantial DOT tions of their publicity budgets, to travel in the Western Hemisphere
 Thirty-one states of the Union and many cities now have advertising and publicity appropriations to attract as large share possible of this vast business-a business comparable to the machlpe tool industry of the nation
 Unfortunately Alaska has not seen the wisdom of maklng determined play for the American tour ist olar What advertising there is for the Terri tory is being done by private steamship lines. Our country is so fascinating to travellers however that it is attracting them in increasing numbers almost in spite of ourselves For this reason and not be- cause of any effort part Alaska will probably see more tourists this year than ever before They will bring thousands of dollars to the Territory and leave them here the reverse of the usual Alaska process This tourist business is so profitable and such natural for Alaska that should make a real effort next year to build it up into major industry.

MONDAY. FEBRUARY is

This should be a fairly fortu- nate day for men, but women are under sway stimulating and dan gerous. In the morning heads of large concerns may encounter ob- stacles which later disappear. Ap- prehension should be merely sug- gestion of careful action.
 Heart and Home: Directly influ- enced by an aspect today are con- ditions affecting domestic and pro- fessional matters. Women may be inclined to act at cross purposes and to vacillate where they should be positive and direct. Persons en- gagged in the artistic callings may act temperamentally and precipitate difficulties. Members of theatrical companies and art gallery juries may be susceptible to the adverse aspect.
 Business Affairs: This afternoon should be favorable to many lines
 
 quick decisions and fair bargains. General trade should be fairly good, despite tangled international conditions which affect commerce It is not an suspicious date for dealings with women. Encouraging news regarding large contracts may be expected.
 National Issues: Labor will give political leaders many a headache through the spring. There are in- dications of harmony among un- ions that have been at odds. New union leaders in certain states will l exercise wide influence. Congress will discuss strike problems which take on political colors. Economy in relief projects will cause trouble, especially along the seaboards.
 International Affairs: Great eco- homie problems will affect warning nations. Food and fuel scarcity will cause extreme suffering and re- duce ability to withstand winter epidemics which will be serious in the recently subjugated nations un- der the Swastika flag. Demands upon American agencies to aid the ill and unfortunate will be great from across the seas, and large sums of money will be con- tributed from citizens of tn ( United States.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of expand ing business and increasing pros perity. Many will gain through in- heritance.
 Children born on this day vii be keen of wit, brilliant in mind These Aquarians probably will have unusual talents. Actors and brokers belong to this decan ol February.

All New Laws Have Kinks
(Philadelphia Record)

Those hands you see raised to the skies belong to pious Tories shocked, almost to death, by the disclosure that 10 big league baseball players have been collecting unemployment insurance in Missouri Soon they will be telling how such outrages make necessary the abolition of social security.
 We felt shocked like that once ourselves. It was when Senate committee revealed that millions of little fellows" had been paying income taxes during the depression while some of the biggest milionalres in the country hadn't paid red cent
 Come to think of it, the trouble in that case was the as the trouble in the Missouri situation
 kink in the law needs ironing out.
 Just as Congress changed the laws covering income taxes when the big-time escapes from pay ment were disclosed should the Missouri Leglsla- ure now change the State law which authorizes job less compensation to baseball players who are paid within short season, enough to keep most people for considerably more than year.
 All new laws have kinks.
 It isn't any occasion for pained surprlse-except perhaps surprise that ball players would be such short sports as to take advantage of law aimed to help those in genuine need

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 1s


 Women are subject to benefic aspects today. The stars presage great activity in the world of con- flict. Battles appear to be immin- ent, despite severe weather. Good luck should attend those who have power over human destiny, as rul- CTS of countries at peace, army officers and naval commanders.
 Heart and Home: This should be an suspicious date for women. It promises employment at good sal aries for those who seek positions and seems to presage cooperation with persons in authority. House. keepers should find the family budget elastic today when men are supposed to appreciate feminine ability, domestic and in the busi- ness world. In the evening when the Moon enters Cancer, a crab sign, an access of intuition or de- termination may be evident.
 Business Affairs: For well estab- lished business concerns steady ad- vancement is indicated. There is promised profit for those who deal in jewels and other adornments having feminine appeal. A demand for pictures and other artistic ad- ditions to the home is forecast There may be a slight slump in trade due to foreign influences.
 National Issues: Presidential am bitions will sever old party asso citations and ties The stars seem to presage success to younger men in the race for high places. Unity in Republican organization is prog nosticated as likely to assure gains in votes. Balancing the budget de- mandS will be more and more em- barrassing to the administration ln Washington.
 International Affairs: Treachery has been foreseen as significant of European international relations. Decisive peace overtureS will con- tinue to be rumored and even dis cussed, but the stars seem to pres age continued war. Alliances be- tween allies and their foes will be sought. Surprising developments in the war are prophesied, as colonies and far-flung possessions are em- ployed in devious barterings.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good and i'll that are a bit discouraging, put unexpected good fortune is promised as the months pass.
 Children born on this day may be sensitive and faStidious. These subjects of Aquarius may be imag- inative and talented in artistic lines. They should be carefully guided.

Dominica Offers Sanctuary to Nazi Refugees

A new life, free of oppression and persecution, has been promised to 500 families from persecuted Euro- pean minorities by General Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, once known as the dictator of the Dominican Re- public. Under terms of an agree ment signed in Ciudad Trujillo, the refugees will settle immediately on 24,000 acres of land donated by Tru- jillo near Sosua, and will be granted full citizenship. The settlers will include both Jews and non-Jews. Not only will their entry fee be waived, but they will be allowed to bring in equipment and tools duty free. The contract was signed in the presence of James N. Rosen- berg, New York attorney and presi- dent of the Dominican Republic Settlement Association.
 It is proposed that up to 10000 refugees eventually be granted haven on the island. Economic ex- perts doubt that the republic, equal tn size to Vermont and New Hamp- shire combined, can accommodate that many, but believe that it can accept 25,000 comfortably.
 Sugar, cocoa and tobacco are the chief products of the fertile island, with 15,500 of it's 19,325 square miles arabic. The land contains gold, copper, iron, salt, coal and petroleum, but the mining industry is undeveloped, and it is hoped this is one of the industries which the refugees will help build up. The population of 1,500,00 is a race of mixed European, African and h. dian blood, speaking the Spanish language. Education is compulsory.
 Trujillo was first made president of the republic in 1884 and soon be- came known as its dictator. Because of his reforms, which put the back ward land in the front-rank of Latin-American countries, the con- gress changed his title to Benefac- tor. At expiration sof his secont term in 1888, Trujillo decided tt rest on that title alone and his
