ARMS AND THE ENEMY WITHIN

A survey by the International Association of Chiefs of Police reveals that present State laws covering the possession sale and control of firearms places few deterrents in the way of criminal sub versive groups who may desire to procure weapons.
 The Association found that, aside from hunting license requirements and laws forbiddng the posses sion of firearms by aliens, rifles and shotguns are easily obtained and transferred in practically all States Only handful of States flatly prohibit the carrying of concealed weapons the person. and only 15 States require license to carry guns in motor vehicles
 This leniency in regard to deadly weapons doubtedly is a hangover from the desire of early Americans-expressed in a constitutional provision guaranteeing the right of the people to keep and bear arms-to be well fortified against attack from the wilderness
 But it certainly intended that the sale possession and use of these arms should not be regulated in the interests of the general public The absence of sufficient regulations has been hindrance to law enforcement in the past It is more dangerous in these times when foreign agents are preparing to cause whatever trouble they against the day when may have to go to against their masters It is good time for law makers to tighten up the firearms restrictions

AMERICA GIVES THANKS

Millions of American families have just finished planning their Thanksgiving dinners. Would they eat turkey or goose sweet potatoes yams cauli- flower or sprouts? Would the dressing be with oysters or without? Would dessert be mnce pie pumpkin pie, plum pudding ice cream? All ques- tions to tomorrow's settled on the basis of taste and appetite For there is no lack of food in America The wonderful variety of pro- duce from the richest garden spot in the world is on hand in all our stores and every American has the wherewthal in 194O for 8 Thanksgiving feast.
 Within the week the newspapers carried story from Berlin telling that German law legalizes the eating of dogs, foxes, bears and beavers. In Germany and Italy and in England as well, most foods being rationed In Russia the food card has been standard equipment for years In the vaSsal countries, Poland Denmark, Norway, Holland, Belgium and France, the people fare even worse and are facing virtual starvation this winter while their Nazi conquerors extract the last pound of butter, the last bushel of grain the potato and cabbage so that suffering will not be too great the Ger home front
 One proof of obligation to give thanks will lie on our Thanksgiving tables tomorrow But Ameri- realize this year perhaps than before in the history of the nation that they wonder fully favored people We have nation at peace, nation in which domestic recovery has carried our industrial production and business volume beyond even the lush days of 1929 nation in which mil lions of young men have just signified their will ngness in the republics defense if need be- nation in which justice prevails and every man continues to possess the right to hold and state his own opinions without fear of official unofficial Gestapo.
 Americans need no reminder in 1940 that their lot is favorable beyond the dreams of the people of all other lands.
 When we give thanks tomorrow we will mean it. God has indeed blessed America

Philadelphia Record)
 The United States, has, as apt to forget problems of empire, fruit of imperialistic ex- pansion that to peak at the time of tht Spanish American War.
 One of problems, that of the Philippines, is apparently settled Barring complications such a a-out war in the Orient these islands will become Independent in July, 1946
 But we have three possessions which we trea little bit like colonies and a little bit like back ward States. The problem of one of these come. to head today when neary 85,000 registered voters in Hawaii will answer the question:
 Do you favor statehood for Hawaii?"
 COn the ballots it will appear also as: Make make anei lilo Hawaii Mokuaina?D
 While territorial leaders expect large Yes vote, the referendum will have legal effect; Con gress alone alter the status of territory Chie opposition appears to come from Navy circles, who fear danger to Pearl Harbor defenses from Jap anese influences
 Defense, too is involved in the question of mak- ing Puerto Rico state. The Puerto Rcans claim with considerable logic, that if they good enough to protect the United States the Gibraltar of the Western Hemisphere" they ought to be good enough for us to make them state. Local political leaders are always sure of votes when they a statehood ticket.)
 Many elements in Alaska too have been agitat- ing for admission as the 18th state
 There are, believe, just two considerations that should be taken into account We should think of special business interests of sugar in the case of Hawaii), but what the people of the three possessions want, and what is best for nation
 The first step should be taking of referenda such as the one being conducted in Hawaii today Then Congress should appoint commission-and one not exclusively composed of military and naval men to determine the ways admission of three states might affect the rest of us
 We should face anti-democratic world with freer conscences if made the three territories fledged States yet we must be sufficiently real istic not to endanger safety by gestures.

EUROPEAN APPEAsEMENT

The story Of imminent European peace deals which floated around Lcndon, Berlin and Washington just before election was no myth. Inside fact was that some wary, very ten- tative ideas had been discussed by Sir Samuel Hoare, British Ambas- sador in Madrid, and a leader of the British appeasement group.
 Since November these ideas are dead. But the motives behind them are extremely important. h. asmuch as they may crop up again, here is their background:
 Ever since Hitler's proposed in- vasion of England was frustrated last September, Nazi diplomats have sent out feelers to the effect that Germany now had almost the en- tire continent of Europe and might be satisfied to drop the war, leav- ing England to stick to its own is- lands.
 This, of course, would be an ex- cellent set-up for Germany. Econo- mically, she now has. some of the wealthies areas of Europe under her thumb, especially with the penetration of Rumania. Her trad

conservative methods of building it.
 National Issues: Danger is fore- told that new aristocracy of na- tional defenders may develop from the officers who are commissioned in the Army, Navy and Aviation service As the outlook is for con = tinued wearing of uniforms, many men will be long withdrawn from business and the various profeS- sions. If the stars are rightly read, democracy will develop systems an- tagonistic to tradition.
 International Affairs: Britains courageous defense against inva- sion will last until some sort of honorable truce or armistice is ar ranged, it is foretold. Changes in the government are forecast and there will be deaths among t h e statesman of the empire. Inhabi- tantS of London are to suffer great ly from disease as the winter ad- vances. Novel variations of influ- enza and lung affections are prog nosticated. The United States is to render aid more substantial than

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do nOt cOmpe"
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21

Good and evil planetary as- poets are discerned for today Labor is subject to adverse in- 1 fluces, making for strikes or riots. Depressing news from the war is forecast.
 Heart and Home: Under this i configuration the head of the household may be inclined toward pessimistic outlook It is not an suspicious date to ask for money for sports or recreation. Uncer- tainty may be felt regarding the future of the war, and discontent among the young is probable. De- fense mobilization will affect social life, but there will be much danc- ing. Lightning love affairs will multiply. A mo" now may save a Reno yes" later.
 Business Affairs: Employers may be cautious regarding expansion, now that the first preparedness excitement has quieted, but the stars seem to encourage enterprise. The bull tendencies of the market this month will be brief. The stars presage confidence in the prosper ity created by government spend ing. It is well to make hay while the sun shines, for a depression is ,,roop octjcotad for 1OdO
 National Issues: Warning is given that many loyal citizens who have been naturalized may suffer from foolish prejudices on the part Of native Americans. Unjust suspicious and antagonisms should be avoid ed. The United States melting pot has many unassimilated ingredi- ents. It is wise for every citizen to look backward to his immigrant ancestors. This is a day to be truly thankful.
 Persons whose birthdate it Is have the augury of a year of ad- vancement. It is wise to be on guard against fraud or losses.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be forceful in character, but inclined to be independent and even arrogant. They will be men, tally keen and physically energetic.

 Such a peace, of course, meets no response from the great major ity of the British people, nor the Governmnt, and absolutely none from Winston Churchill. However 1t has been received favorably by the little group of City" men Uon- don't Wall Street. whi c h encour- aged the Nazi invasion of Czecho- slovakia so they could get Czech factories, and who actually lem money to Hitler AFTER Munich.

1888 while Willkie's upstate ma jority was only 94,000. This, cou- pied with the fact that Dewey did most of his campaigning for Will kie in the west-not in New York makes some of the boys wonder whether the young District Attor- ney wasn't just as glad to have Willkie lose. After all, Willkies defeat leaves Dewey with a far better chance to take the Repub- lican nomination-and election-in 1914 . Friends are kidding Henry Wallace about being disqualified for the job of Vice President because unlike Jack Garner, he does. no. strike blow for liberty" After eight years in Washington, Wallace does not drink.

WALL STREET AND WILLKIE

This group sees British factories blasted, argues that it will take months to rebuild them, and tha meanwhile British trade will los, cut to the U.S.A So this group aas been encouraging the backstage peace feelers with Berlin. via Spair and Sweden
 Furthermore, all diplomatic re- ports indicate that had Willkie beer elected, this group would have launched a strong drive for ap- basement. This does not necessar- fly mean that Wall Street group in the United States which thini along exactly the same lines as Lon don's City were all ready to CO operate in this drive and expected to get support from Willkie.
 In fact, some of the wisest wise acres in the Diplomatic Corps were cabling their governments just be. fore November 5 that an appease- ment peace was certain if Roose- welt were defeated.
 Latin American governments whose weather vane is the United States and who study as with { microscope, actually were getting ready to warm up to Hitler. Bu since Novembr 5, the effect is jus the opposite. Now the diplomat. are writing it down as certain thar the United Sates will give increas. ing help to the British and ther, will be no appeasement.

JOHNSON AND GINsBURGH

General Hugh Johnson's closing campaign speech for Willkie in which he used Jewish dialect re- suited in more than 10000 protests from radio listeners.
 But what most of the American public did not know was that when General Johnson cast rfelection on Colonel Robert Ginsburgh, he was icing unfair to one of the finest fficers in the U. s. Army
 Colonel Ginsburgh comes from an i'd and aristocratic family. His reat-uncle, Baron Ginsburgh, built he trans-Siberian railroad for the Jzar of Russia. 1.-The Colonel is a Vest Point graduate and field arr jllery officer who has served both Republicans and Democrats with qual brilliancy. He was aid to iecrtary of War Pat Hurley, a Re- publican; later to Assistant Secre- ary Louis Johnson, a Democrat, nd now is attached to Assistant Secretary Patterson, a Republican.
 Colonel Ginsburgh has a law de- Sree from Harvard, and if he has my accent-as insinuated by Gen. eral JohnsOn-it is Harvard, not Jewish.
 RUSSIA'S COTTON
 Inside word from abroad is that American cotton purchased by Rus ;ia is not all being used by the Soviets.
 Wh n Russia re-entered the American market recently, assuranc- ss were given the State Department hat the cotton was needed for the expanding Soviet textile industry and there would be no reselling But confidential reports from U 5. Consular officials indicate that the cotton is being passed on-and at fancy prices.
 Russia bought at 10 cents pound is getting as high as 20 cents pound from eager European and Balkan buyers. In many cases the selling is by barter, the U. S. cotton be- ing traded for other goods. Heav- fest buyers-or swappers-are Ger many, Switzerland, Jugo Slavia, Hungary, Denmark

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER P

Good and adverse planetary in- fluences are active today, but ben efic aspects appear to dominate. In the early hours the mind may be disturbed and the judgment warped, owing to too much holi- day celebration, but later there is a good sign for businessmen.
 Heart and Home: Women are un- der the most stimulating and promising planetary direction to- day. It is especially favorable to foresight which enables wise de- cisions. It is a fortunate sway for love affairs. Engagements or we'd
 dings are under planetary direc- tion presaging progress and good fortune. This is lucky date for social entertainments and for the atrical events. A new play is to make lasting hit.
 Business Affairs: The seers de- clare that since this is to be the foremost nation on the globe in coming years, under the new or der of things it is safe to deye,op business on a large scale ana to expect ultimate expansion of com merce. It is true that an economic war is forecast and a Snarl in in- ternational finance, but for the sound organization, mercantile or manufacturing, the future is bright While the old days of sudden for tunes and great profits may have vanished, there will be firm foun- dations for American trade anG

slav trade mission was departing for Moscow to negotiate for a large quantity of cotton. Another that Nazi-ruled Denmark was signing new trade treaty with Russia un- der which cotton would be obtained. In the end, of course, the Nazis will get it. Hungary, now largely in the Axis orbit, was reported to have made similar deal, while an- other consul reported large Swiss cotton purchases from Russia.
 After the outbreak of the war last year, Russian cotton exports to Germany stopped But these ship ments have been secretly resumed and Germany has obtained several hundred thousand bales from it's Soviet friend.

Ford Lines Up

There wont be d lot of excitement
about Henry Ford's announcement of
support for Mr.. WILKES candidacy
tor the presidency. 1t would have
been news ii his decision had been
Tor Mr.. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Ford is q lifelong Republican,
citizen of d state that has been ira
ditionally in the c. O. P. column,
with d few exceptions, and thinks
and works in the faith. He was
merely running true to form in COM
in G out for the Republican candidate
1t is remembered, too. of course
that he was for Herbert Hoover be-
fore the latter became president and
again in 1882. and was for Governor
Landon in 1896 when all but two
states swung into line for the Demo-
Gratis.
Ford is a great induStrialist and q
very rich man. For that he deserves
whatever credit may rightfully be
his as a plugger who throughout his
career has loved and followed in the
American way of life. But as &
politician he carries very little influ-
ence, least of all in these latter times
when men who have achieved sue
cess in d really big way and who own
great businesses have generally beer
consigned to the dog house. Hi:
support OF Willkie will not hurt the
candidate. but it won't be d very
great asset 20 him.
