The Ivory Tower
cleveland Plain Dealer)

conception which appears to be widely fol-
lowed by the disciples of the late Henry Cabot Lodge
and the late William Edgar Borah, and also by the
still extant but quite pluperfect Hiram w. Johnson
and other various lesser satellites such as Senator
Robert A. Taft and Senator Arthur Vandenberg, is
that we in America may retire to an Ivory Tower
and watch the world go by.
There a more foolish IDEA, economl-
cally politically in military sense.
Fate and retribution have a way OF catching
up with you, whether you dwell on the mountain
tops or as mermads frequent the depths OF the sea-
The zeitgeist-the spirit of the times-wl find you
out
We favor going to the help of England now be-
cause we love America most of all. We advocate
helping England for two reasons first because we
prefer to take mans rather than towards part,
and second because that is the best way to defend
ourselves. The second reason should appeal especi-
ally to those of opposite faith who additionally
more interested in the dollar the whole skin than
in idealistic considerations 1t is better specula-
ton for America to go to work while there is still
potent ally left in England rather than alone to
bear the brunt of defending freedoms last fortress
Friends ask U.S. why you so hot to go to
war on England's side?" And the answer is that we
are not, but hot for America and American
institutions to prevail and should rather fight
when the odds our side than when they are
barely even or probably against u.s.
We love America first and best. We love liberty.
In fact the two one.
As a practical proposition prefer to fight the
inevitable battle with Oriental despotism whether it
be Hitler Stain Or Mussolin with the British
Commonwealth our side.
Otherwise, we shall endure the bitter fight alone
There is no possible ally but Britain.
In short, we all that we believe in most
jeopardized by the modern Hun. We know that
sooner or later if we manfuy assert the principles
that are set forth in the Bill of Rights We shall
have to fight for them.
And we think the wise thing is to start now,
when we can expect some help rather than to take
the pacifst line and say that nothing is worth fight
ing for.
Or the anti British line which holds that the
English have been such tyrants in the past that,
thank God, they are about to have their come
uppance.
Or that the Germans just naturally the
greatest race of men and deserve to inherit the
earth
Or that we ought to encourage these wars
among other nations because the proletariat always
gains thereby wide Karl Mark.
No. we cannot believe in any of these theories
We believe in the necessity for America to remain
free And we believe that it is only common sense,
when we see a gang of international outlaws en-
gagged in trying to snuff out democracy, to meet
them more than halfway and,
To crush them before they have touched the
shores of the United States.

GOOD NEWS FOR JUNEAU

Pan American Always announcement that Clip
per service will continue throughout the winter
months until it is replaced by faster and better
service upon the delivery of land planes some
time around the first of the year is wonderfully
good news for Juneau and Alaska.
Few of would realize, perhaps, just what the
Clipper has to in lives unless it
was taken off the run and three -day boat service
should become again the Terrtorys closest link with
the States The airmail and air passengers arriv-
ing and departing twice week have brought into
immediate touch with the rest of the nation and
rest of the world The service is convenience to
which we have become accustomed and the lack of
which we would feel keenly.
No matter how much better and faster may be
the Lockheed Lodestar planes which will replace
the flying boat in service, Juneaues will always
remember the year the Alaska Clipper naugurated
air service between Alaska and the States and will

JUST WHAT WE NEED

Unlike some States in which we have Travelled,
Missouri goes out of its way to be nice to its motor
lists For instance. the Missouri Highway Depart
ments latest gift to drivers is big electric magnet
on wheels. When it is driven down the road it picks
up tacks, nails bolts, old broken springs and other
metal objects likely to punctures.
Juneau could machine of that kind. Our
streets literally nail-studded. Action by the
Chamber of Commerce and Chief of Police has re-
suited in builders and wreckers being asked TO
operate in keeping nails from being dropped in the
streets. Those already there will be picked up
either by automobile tires at the rate of 81 and
much inconvenience per flat by the effort of vol
unteer citizen nai-hounds, by such machine
a Missouri is using.
Here we would want the magnet to be powerful
enough to pick up junk of any size, including that
which still makes pretense of running under its
power.

ing to find out the extent to
which Berlin was definitely hooked
up with any members of this
congressional bloc when Lundeen' s
plane crashed.
AS to the cause of the crash,
air experts continue to be mysti-
fled. The plane struck a ridge in
thunderstorm, but at an unor-
thodox angle and at an excessive
speed with throttles wide open.
seemingly out of control. 1t was
over a terrain where an emergency
landing would have been possible,
and the pilot had reported every
thing OK only ten minutes earlier
Pennsylvania Central had never
had a crash before in it's entire
history.
Whether certain foreign agents
figured that they were about to
be exposed, whether G-men on the
plane tangled with Lundeen in
flight, or whether it was an act
of God and the weather may never
be known But some of Lundeen's
office force can tell lot of things
about Fifth Column activities In
the United States Congress.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER %

Benefic aspects rule strongly to-
day which should be fortunate
for those who are able to play, as
well as for those who are tied
to some form of work. The con-
junction of Mars and Neptune on
this date is menacing for the flu
ture.
Heart and Home: Women are
under good influences that make
initiative in important lines of
work possible. They should seek
to be stabilizing in their efforts
to adjust themselves to changing
world conditions. Under this sway
there may be obstacles in the way
of well considered plans, but they
will disappear. Girls will find en-
ployment in positions vacated by
young men called to public serv-
ice. This is a favorable rule of the
stars for romance.
Business Affairs: Continued pros
merchandise formerly supplied by
nations now under NaZi rule are
sought in the United States The
wise will make the most of to-
days opportunities. Profits should
be carefully saved for the future
which contains portents of peril
and stress for all. The high cost OF
arming a nation must be met by
persons of every financial status.
National Issues: The planetary
aspects which have caused friends
to become foes in Europe will have
influence that spreads in the Unit
ed States. The NATIONAL political
campaign will be marked by kde-
fections from the ranks. Of botn
parties. especially the Democratic
The high cost of electioneeringi will
be evident when both parties look
into their financial affairs after
the November decision by waters,
great numbers of whom wflk be
loyal to the Roosevelt cause.
International Affairs: Infiltra-
ton of Nazi influence in South
America will be demonstrated in
certain trade tits with the United
States but unity of the Americas
will become stronger after a seri-
Gus diplomatic incident. Foreign as
trologers predict for Rumania many
uncertainties that are of grave po-
tentiality to the people and which
will continue until the late autumn
of 1943.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is
have the augury of year of good
luck, but they should avoid htiga-
ton. Musicians will profit. es-
pecially those who play in bands.

ably will be good-natured and pop

wILLKIE CLUBS

One thing upon which Willkie
has quietly concentrated is IRON
ing out the rows that have devel-
oped in some states between the
regular COP organization and the
Willkie Clubs.
Under the campaign set-up he
organized in Colorado Springs, the
Willkie Clubs, headed by young
Oren Root, are independent of the
regular organizations, raising .theil
own money and running their own
show. In some localities, this has
created dissension.
Naturally this isn't conducive to
winning votes, and Willkie mas
been trying to restore harmony His
procedure has been to phone a key
man in the afflicted state, usually
the National Committeeman, and
empower him to become peace.
maker.
However. it is significant that
while doing everything he can 10
get the boys to work together. Will
kie has not curbed the activities
or autonomy of the Clubs. When
he decided to make them the key
stone of his campaign machinery
he did SO on the theory that they
would rally the independent vote
which he considers essential for
him to win. IA

FDR AND ARGENTINA

There has been a lot of publicity
regarding Roosevelt's conference
with Argentine diplomat Leopoldo
Melo over buying Argentine beef.
Actually the conversation covered
lot of things besides meat.
Roosevelt promised that tn is
country would substantially in
crease its imports of Argentine
products; first because Argentina
has suffered heavy loss of her Eu-
ropean export market and faces an
acute depression; second, because
Argentina continues to buy from
the United States, but this buying
must fall off if she cannot sell
here to obtain dollar exchange for
purchases.
Discussing these problems. the
President told Melo that the de-
Tense program would require heavy
purchases of wool for uniforms
hides for shoes, and canned beef
for the commissary. Though the
Government would not buy direct
from Argentina, the buying from
domestic sources would create new
demand for imports. substantially
