WE'D RATHER NOT,
BUT If WE MUST

The reaction of Imperial Valley young
men to the draft is about what the reac-
ton of young Americans everywhere will
be:
WED rather not go, but if we must
we'll, we'll do our best"
1t is quite natural that an individual
who is honest with himself, and whose
industry in private life has been such
that he has gained start on the road
to his eventual career, should not well
come the prospect of being cOnscripted
into the army for a year or longer. Only
the professional flag-wavers would at
tempt to convince anyone that the young
men of the nation will be Historically
joyous at the prospect of going into army
encampments for a year.
But here is the thing that will be the
salvation of America, and possibly OF
the world Young Americans may not
welcome conscription, but neither will
they go unwillingly. Realizing the neces-
sity which pushed the conscription bill
through congress, thev will grumble, but
they will do the job at hand as thorough
ly as they know how.
For they will be training to defend
their own property.
There is the difference between our
country and the dictator nations of Eu-
rope. Over there, where every mans first
duty is to the armed forces, they don't
grumble when they march off to train
ing camp. They don't dare grumble, or
they're liable to lose their heads. Over
here. we can grumble to our hearts con-
tent, but our vocal grousing is far less
serious than the inner rebellion which
must be gnawing at the hearts of thou
sands Of Europeans.
We've drafted ourselves, through the
medium of our elected representatives.
In Europe, young men and old are draft
ed by another, without themselves hav-
ing any voice in the matter That's the
difference between democracy and die
tatorship There's the reason our grum-
bling doesn't mean a thing, except that
we get kick out of grumbling.

BE CAREFUL, AMERICA

Grams seized and burned literature that
was being distributed by religious sect.
The literature, the mob declared, was
un-American.
Remember your history?
The Plymouth Rock pilgrims fled to
America to escape religious persecution
in Europe Nor were they the only fugi-
tives from European persecution who
colonized America. This country, in fact,
got its start-and derived part of its
observation-disclosures of those who de-
manded the right to think and worship as
they pleased, no matter who tried to stop
them.
Are we Americans, in 1910, going to be
guilty of the same sort of thing that
drove our forefathers out of other coun-
tries?
1t is not necessary that we agree with
other men and women, whether members
of religious sects or other groups. 1t is
not even necessary that we tolerate their
beliefs and customs, if those beliefs and
customs are in fact dangerous to the
continuation of democracy.
But we should not resort to mob ac-
tion to demonstrate our feelings A mob
is no more American, no more law abid-
ing, than the worst subversive unit in the
country.
We have laws to curb subversive activi-
ties, and those laws have enough teeth to
clamp down on anyone actively engaged
in propaganda against this nation, or
otherwise doing Fifth Column work. It
is our duty, as Americans, to use the
laws-not to ignore them.

SENATE AND THIRD TERM
(EmpOria (Kans.) Gazette)

In national politics. the vital issue in
this campaign hinges upon the question of
third term, and the third-term issue
has little to do with the personal qualifi-
cations or public administration Of
Franklin Delano Roosevelt The ques-
tiOn is whether or not it is wise to hold
any political power in this country for
more than eight years. Power is always
dangerous. Power, when it feels secure,
generally becomes arrogant and with its
arrogance automatically becomes in
competent.
Twelve years ago last February the
United States Senate adopted this resolu-
ton:
THAT it is the sense of the Senate that
the precedent established by Washington
and other Presidents of the United States
in retiring from the Presidential office
after their second term has become, by
universal concurrence. part of our re-
publican system of government, and that
any departure from this time honored
custom would be unwise unpatriotic and
fraught with peril to our free institu-
tiOnS"

MARRIAGES
Woodland Democratl

1t would be manifestly unjust to ac-
cuSe all, or even a considerable percent
age, of the young men rushing to the
marriage license bureaus with their girl
friends as being inspired by a desire to
avoid compulsory military service But
the fact remains, the Burke-W Wadsworth
conscription bill was hardly announced
before there was an amazing increase in
applications at virtually every license
bureau in the country.
News from Washington, however, gives
little encouragement for those young
men who are seeking to escape conscrip-
tion by becoming husbands. They will be
required to register for service just as
any other male citizen from 21 years
through 80 years of age, if the bill passes
The measure contains no definition of
dependents, though the President is au-
thorized to defer the training of those
men with persons dependent upon them
for support. In other words the Presi-
dent, through the local registration
boards, will decide whether or not new
bride is dependent upon her husband for

sCHOOLROOM STORIES
christian Science Monitor)

A well-known London paper has re-
Gently protested that Great Britain tells
the wrong kind of stories. No complaint
is lodged against the romancers of Brit
ain, the SCOTS and the StevenSonS, the
Priestleys and Walpoles. The objection
is rather to those stories of semi-histor-
ical sort with which every British boy
and girl becomes familiar from earliest
schooldays. The most famous of these
is the tale of Drake playing bowls when
Informed that the Armada was sailing
up the Channel, and saying "Theres
time to finish the game and beat the
Spaniards, too"
1t is therefore this story that has had
to meet the head and front of the attack.
BRAKES unflurried observation is alleged
to encourage Englishmen in their ten
dency to take things slackly and trust to
muddling through. The obie has
certain force. Certainly Drake did not
defeat the Armada simply by playing
bowls; he was able to play bowls so un-
concernedly only because he had got his
fleet in readiness first. Nevertheless the
story, whether true or not, illustrates a
GOODNESS in the face of danger which is a
traditional British characteristic, and is
not willingly to be relinquished.
That GOODNESS still persists. That is a
temper which is difficult to defeat.

The French saved Paris. In saw
ing it, they lost something else-and
time alone shall tell which was the
more valuable.
The British have chosen the other
course. They may sacrafice in flame
and ashes the greatest city in the
world, but they may save something
else, too, that is very precious: self
respect, honor, something that for
lack of better term might be called
national SCI.
The wo-dS of St Mark were not
written perhaps for quite these cir
cumstances, but they come forcibly
to mind as the bombs shrek down,
the walls crumblc, and the dust and
smoke roll across the city on the
Thames.
For whosoever shall save his life
shall lose it.
For what shall it profit a man, if
he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul?"
The words were written, perhaps,
of another kind of sacrifice than
that which the ordinary people of
Britain are making today. Perhaps
soul is not quite the right word.
But should the British win through
after an ordeal of this kind they may
have lost London, but they may also
have saved something more valuable
to their future-their integrity as
people.
Milton'S statue crashes down into

TWO TRENDS
AT ODDS

Wheeler's idea is that senate
committee. remaining in session and
equipped with enough money to do
a real job of investigating, could
start where the antitrust division
has been forced to l0lve off.
1t could study each of the cases
originally cited by the antitrust
division, in turn, and establish
whether the agreements complain
ed of do operate to raise the prices
of essential defense materials. Pro-
liability is that the single publicity
which would result would be enough
to remedy any unjustified price in
creasing; for that matter. the mere
fact the committee was on the job
would tend to prevent gouging.
All of which brings once more
into collision the two opposing
trends which have been in evidence
within the New Deal ever since the
defense program got started.
On the one hand there is the
trend to fight for lower prices and
more fluid markets, as exemDlified
by the various campaigns of AS
sistant Attorney Genedal Thurman
Arnold. On the other, there is the
tendency to lean toward price fixing
and sterilization OF markets a Ia
the NRA, which is appearing more
and more in various quarters close
to the defense commission.
The administration has not yet
made up its mind which Of these
trends to follow in connection with
defense spending.

greedy at the table have taken a
glutton's share. But gluttons come
naturally by their punishment The
important part is that the bowl
is ours, that all which has gone
into it is ours, that rothing has
ever made n change in it except
our own hands-your hands and
my hands directed by our own
hearts your neart aid my heart
And not only Americans but
the whole world now sees in il
more clearly than ever, that brave,
bright, shining symbol of what
America is and what she may be
come.
Now rises the question = how
much does the possession. of this
bowl mean to us? 1t is all we have.
How much do we stand ready to
sacrifice to preserve a heritage for
our children? Thieves are abroad
If they should take this bowl of
ours. it would not be to use for
themselves, even, but TO destroy it
utterly. The best we should get in
its place would be factory pro-
duct, one of many dealt around the
world like flat, unmarked metal
discs, from a thick and heavy
pack. If we should lose our bowl,
shaped in freedom, there would be
no material and no free hands,
anywhere, ever, for the making of
another If VIC should lose this.
But we are going to keep it.
They asked me to say what the
American way of life means to me,
what I think it means to all of us.
This is what I say tand as l know
and love you all, I swear to be
true):
It means everything. If we are
ever forced to fight for it, we shall
understand fully that death, in its
truest sense, will come to every
American man, woman, child-un-
less we win! Set against the loss
of all we have, or might ever have,
no cost will be too great. They
ask whether we are prepared for
sacrifice.
I say to them:
Call on us! Ask us for sacrifice!
We have been ready and waiting
long time. WheE' you ask us-you
will see.

ANTITRUST DIVISION
ACTED ALONE

The situation which Wheeler
wants looked into is one which
the administration has never beer
willing to look at with more than
half an eye.
Away last winter the antitrust
division of the Department of JUS
tiee notified the administration that
various price and production con-
trolls had been set up in certain
vital defense industries by agree
ments between certain German
and American producers.
Plain warning was served then
that at least some of these agree
ments would have the effect of
putting both government and pri-
vate citizen at the mercy of sundry
big business interests in connection
with defense buying.
No one outside of the antitrust
division took any action on this
warning or betrayed any special
interest in it. The antitrust peo-
pie have gone ahead and have
taken some of these cases into
court, where a number of actions
are now pending.
A great deal more investigating
remains TO be done, however, than
the antitrust division with its pres
ent staff and funds can possibly
