Few doubt the capacity of Amer

once her marvellous industrial ma
chine moves into its stride. But it
takes far more than tough mill
tary nation to live ana prosper per-
manently as an Independent: SOW
ereign power in the world of today.
The world of today is world Of
reality. Natural laws of survival,
which during the past decade had
been submerged in a mist of theory
and reform, have suddenly reap
peared like grim headlands on a
rocky coast. France was wrecked OF
one of these headlands. and in the
words of Wendell Willkle. was
crushed like 40 eggshell.' She was
wrecked because she had adopted
a candy stick theory of government.
When a child cries you give him a
piece of candy and try to quiet him.
This country has BEEN living on
the candy stick" theory also. a
$4,000, 100000 deficit in less than
a decade is a mute proof OF that.
Aside from the money that has
been spent legitimately to relieve
unavoidable distress, billions have
been inexscusably squandered. The
best alibi in creation cannot hide
the fact that America has been de.
caying internally much the same as
France did. Under the plea of re-
form, our politicians have passed
out the candy to thoughtless mil.
lions who nalvelv believe that they
have been getting something for
nothing. Is there a community that
has not Dragged OF its new airport,
parks. swimming pools. palatial
schools, public buildings, new
streets, and what not, built with
Federal funds? If during the past
few years there existed community
that did not anxiously reach for
candy sticks" it was indeed rar-
ity.
War has moved the day OF rec
koning forward. No one denies that
more huge government deficits
are in the offing. 1t is predicted
that the Federal debt will rise at
least to $50. OOO, 900, 900. and more
perhaps before the end. This debt
and the trend back of it will ultim.
ately result in utter obstruction Of
all that America stands for-free-
dom of opportunity, freedom Of
speech, freedom of religion-unless
we are tough enough morally to
face the reality which France failed
to face. Armaments alone won't
save US. Democracy collapses when
it becomes soft internally and when
its people forget how to work.
Candy sticks" are not strength
ening diet.

Inc foll0Wlng OLD poem was 10unQ IN A
Indian Library by Miss L. Woods, 1000 Pac
buted by Aleen WEIGH. WPA librarian.
A carriage without horse shall go,
Disaster fill the world with woe;
In London Primrose Hill shall be,
Its center hold Bishops See.
Around the world mems thoughts shall fly,
Quick as the twinkling of an eye.
And waters shall great wonders do
How strange. and yet it shall come true.
Then upside down the world shall be.
And gold found at the root of tree;
Thro' tow'ring hills proud man shall ride,
No horse or ass move by his side.
Beneath the water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, and even talk;
And in the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, as we'll as green.
A great man then shall come and go,
For prophecy declares it so.
In water iron then shall float
AS easy as wooden boat.
God shall be found in stream or stone,
In land that is as yet unknown.
Water and fire shall wonders DO.
And England shall admit Jew.
The Jew that once was held in scorn.
Shall of Christian then be born.
A house of glass shall come to pass
In England-but alas, alas?
war will follow with the work
Where dwells the pagan and the Turk.
The States will lock in fiercest strife
And seek to take each others life;
When North shall thus divide the South
The eagle builds in lions mouth.
Then tax and blood and cruel war
Shall come to every humble door.
Glacier County chief., 1940-08-23

Three times shall sunny, lovely France
Be led to play bloody dance;
Before the people shall be free.
Three tyrant rulers shall she see;
Three rulers in succession be
Each sprung from diff rent dynasty.
Then. when the fiercest fight is done.
England and France shall be as one.
The British olive next shall Irvine
In marriage with the German vine.
Men walk beneath and over streams
Fulfilled shall be our strangest dreams.
All England's sons that pillow the land
Shall oft be seen with book in hand.
The poor shall now most wisdom know,
And water wind where corn doth grow;
Great houses stand in far-fung vale,
All covered o er with snow and hail.
And now a word in uncouth rhyme,
Of what shall be in future time;
For in those wondrous. far off days
The women shall adopt craze
To dress like men. and trousers wear,
And cut off all their locks of hair.
They'll ride astride with brazen brow.
AS witches do on broomsticks now.
Then love shall die and marriage cease
And nations wane as babes decrease.
And wives shall fondle cats and dogs,
And men live much the same as hogs.
In nineteen hundred twenty-six.
Build houses light of straw and sticks,
For then shall mighty wars be planned
And fire and sword shall sweep the land,
But those who live the century through.
In fear and trembling this will do;
nd the dens
Glacier County chief., 1940-08-23

Flee to the mountains and the dens,
To bog and forest and wild fens-
For storms will rage and oceans roar.
When Gabriel stands on sea and shore!
And as he blows his wondrous horn.
Old world shall die and new be born.

Visual Education
Program Praised

Because of the excellence of the
visual education program in Putnam
county, C. d. Vermilya, superintend-
ent of the county school system, has
been placed on the executive commit
tee on visual education of the Ohio
Education Association.
During the annual convention of
the association last week end In Co
lumbus, this committee told Vermil-
va that Putnam county has the fin
est visual education program of any
county school system in Ohio and
one of the finest in the United
States. Regular schedules of both
educational and entertainment films
are shown in the county schools
each year.

conducting campaign to raise
funds for the relief of the Films, ac-
cording to Harold Heitzman of Ft.
Jennings, county chairman.
He said that the superintendents
and teachers in the schools thruout
the county have been instructed to
have their pupils bring any contri-
buttons their families might wish to
make. The amount collected in this
county will be sent to the national
Finnish relief fund.

to his car, swung it through the gate
SO that it lurched crafty toward the
brink of the trail before he righted
it, then paused to await the sounds
that told him that Florian and Au-
tumn had started from the lodge.
All the way back down into the
valley, with the shameless and
heartbreaking sound of that other
car following behind him, it seemed
to Bruce that the stars rocketed
through delirious sky, and that
the night with its burden of mad
ness would descend and annihilate
him.

can be completed.
The extra cost of s3,124.33 was
necessitated when the highway de-

that the only way it would approve
the project was to move the ditcl,

There's no sense in delaying it,
Florian," he said harshly. "She has
to be told. And Lin is the one to
talk to her"
AS he spoke he glanced toward the
house. It came to him that there
was something strange about the
place. It seemed deserted, some
how, and although the windows were
open no voices came out to them
from within.

heavily. Autumn and are alone"
Bruce stared at Florian through
the gloom with eyes that seemed to

flush that had suffused his whole
being after that first sharp stab of
incredulity.
''Ohi" he said then, in a voice
that had died before the sound is

Florian's face was turned toward
him in the darkness. For a moment
he did not reply You don't see at

at last. ''Lin couldn't get here. We

June 81.

To the Editor OF The Star:
Ye godsl Is Col Lindbergh so naive
as to believe Hitler, after all that has
gone before? Moreover, there won't need
to be any invasion. Hitler, in control of
Europe. with no British navy, will control
not only Europe but the world. Hitler
will "tell' America where to trade, when
to trade, and upon what terms and con-
ditions; where to send "our" cotton,
"our" wheat, "our" automobiles; what to
do with "our" gold now buried in Ken
lucky; how many paper marks he will
give" us for "our" products; how much
rubber, tin and allspice we "can have;
whether or not the terms for us will be as
liberal as those for Patagonia.
Yes, "a reciprocal basic Monroe Doc
trine" will insure peace for all time-but
peace on Adolf Hitlers terms, and we
better not lose sight of that. The Cham
berlains, ct cetera, put Britain and
France where they are today. They be-
lieved Hitler. The Lindberghs ct cetera,
will put America in the same pigeontole.

Tukinq Indo-Chinu

Japan Is proceeding with method
ical sureness to the establishment of
her hegemony over the orphaned
Far East possessions of the now
destroyed European nations, and the
first to succumb is French Indo-
China.
There can scarcely be any illusions
about Japan's ultimate purposes in
the dispatch to Indo- China of
detail Of warships, in addition to the
forty inspectors who will be sta
toned in the French dependency to
check on shipment of goods to China.
Fighting already is reported to have
occurred in Indo-China.
Throughout her relations with
China, Japan frequently has resorted
to much the same sort of subterfuge
in order to gain footholds from which
she might undermine Chinese sover-
eighty and eventually launch large
scale war of conquest against the
Chinese government.
With a corps of japanese inspec-
tors operating within Indo- Chinese
borders, it will be a small task to
discover evidence" of collusion with
General Chang Kai-shek. Any little
pretext will be sufficient for Japan to
demand strong and still stronger
hold on the government at Hanoi,
until, after moving from one step to
another, she will be in position to
close off the French possession for
herself, just as she has closed off
Manchuria, North China and all the
rest of the Chinese territory she
occupies.
Japan must now be regarded as
having taken the next step in her
program of expansion in and domi-
nation of the Orient. In one swoop
she accomplishes two extremely vital
obiectives. First, by agreement of
the Indo-Chinese authorities one of
General Chiang's three remaining
routes of supply from the outside
world is choked off, leaving the
Nationalist cause dependent upon
the motor road through Burma and
the highway through Northwest
China to Soviet Russia, whose sup
port is too uncertain from day to day
to be relied upon. Second, Japan
gains a f1anking foothold around the
Philippines, the keystone of Americas
position in the Orient, thus basically
altering the strategic naval status
quo in the Pacific.
The question now is which way
Japan will move from Indo- China.
To Siam, with which she recently
signed non-aggression pact, along
with Britain and France? To the
Netherlands Indies, possession of
which would enable Japan to make
the world pay tribute? To the
Straits Settlements and Singapore,
British naval base, in which the
United States has profound in
tereSt?
