The World WeFa

The United States is about to
embark on a military program the
like of which has never been even
proposed, let alone achieved, in
peace time.
At the moment, eyes are so riv-
eted on London that one thinks of
preparedness only in terms of the
death-struggle between Britain and
Germany. But the sober truth is
that the whole world is today in
such state of turmoil that even
regardless OF the BritiSh-German
war the United States would be
forced to look to its armor. Look
about the world and see what the
United States confronts:
l. Germany has conquered the
continent of Europe and now strikes
at the heart of the centuries-old
British empire.

so MUCH AT STAKE
[Oroville Mercury-Register)

Not long ago President Roosevelt de-
clared publicly that democracy cannot
continue to exist in the United States if
the dictators control the rest of the world.
We are afraid he was right.
If Britain, the last bulwark of democ-
racy in Europe, falls, then the dictators
will control Europe, Asia and Africa.
That leaves North and South America
and Australia among the continents, and
Australia wouldn't have much of chance
to survive.
Constantine Brown in his weekly ar
ticle states that in Washington it is fear
ed that the Pan-American agreements
would collapse quickly if Germany should
overwhelm Britain.
Those developments would so menace
us that anything might happen. 1t
would seem,, with the possibilities in
mind that we should overlook nothing
to help Britain.

School days are here again.
Remember the old chant that has been
used so often it evokes mostly smiles
these days:
.fSchool days, school days,
Good old Golden Rule days -.
If we'd stop smiling at the old song
and begin to apply its meaning to modern
school DAYS there'd be lot less juvenile
delinquency these days. The Golden Rule'
remember, is:
"Do unto others as you would have
others do unto you"
If every child in the world had been
taught to abide by that Golden Rule'
there would be no war in the world To-
day. There would be few OF the prop,
lens that confront society. There would
be none of the class warfare ana raclai
hatreds that make such sorry picture
out of civilization.
Mankind molds his own future-but
narents and teachers mold mankind. The
trouble has been that there is altogether
too much buck passing. The parents
pass the job on to the teachers. Inc
teachers pass it back to the parents.
They should work together.
1t is true that the teachers can do
nothing at all with a child whose nome
life has been such that he is not recep-
tive to proper social training. The teach
er must always remain secondary IN the
training of a child. The biggest job, the
year round job belongs to the par
ents. Too many of them forget it.
The teachers can help immensely to
make school days, in fact, Golden Rule
days-as they should be. But without
the cooperation of the parents they. can
do nothing at all, no matter how hard
they try. We talk a lot about preserv-
ing democracy in the United States, but
how can we expect to preserve democracy
anywhere if we neglect to teach our chill
dren the practical application of the rule
which is. after all, the foundation of all
democracy:
"Do unto others as you would have
others do unto you"

| PRESERVING THE
AMERICAN HOME
(ChriStian Science MonitOr)

t0nflSUldn science MOHllOID
The sanctity of the home, bulwark of
American democracy, appears to have
found stout champion in Los Angeles
county, California, where new court,
the Children's Court of Cancellation, has
been established to hear domestic difficult
ties of estranged couples with children.
Established by an act of the 1889 legis-
lature the court is the idea of Judge Ben
iamin Barr Lindsey, famed as the origi-
nator of Denver's juvenile court, and in
PRODUCES to domestic relations cases much
of the technic of the juvenile court
Appalled, by the bitterness of publicly
tried divorce cases and knowing we'll,
from his years on the juvenile bench, the
ill-effect upon children whose homes are
broken, Judge Lindsey proposed do
mestic relations court that would first
consider the rights of the children Elimi-
mating the open court room, the Judge
adopted the conference room method
where both parties can air their griev-
ances before an arbiter capable of uncov
ering the real problems and offering solu-
tions.
That the method is successful seems to
be proved by the fact that in the first
nine months during which more than
1000 cases were heard there were 400
reconciliations affecting 900 children :;
400 couples were granted interlocutory
DEGREES after agreeing to settle their diff
ferences in private and were given one
year to work on reconciliation befoSe the
decree becomes final, while only 200 in
sisted on taking their cases to the public
courts.
The possibilities of the Children's Court
of Cancellation appear far-reaching. Wild
er adoption of Judge Lindsey's method
would seem to present practical way of
divorces in the United States annually.
1t would also pave the way for sharp
reduction in juvenile delinquency, which
is so often traceable to broken home.

A MENACE TO OUR
MUNICIPAL PEACE

The danger of accidents is not the only
menace arising out of automobile ana
motorcycle traffic. There is the peril OF
wear and tear on nervous systems caused
by noise.
No greater pest hath all motoring than
the man who roars through town with
the muffler on his auto wide open, or
the motor of his motorcycle popping ike
the fiends of hades were enclosed IN It's
cylinders.
The noise making is bad enough any
time of day, but when it comes during
the sleeping hours of the average person,
it should rate as major crime against
the peace of the community.
Youngsters in their built-over school
day automobiles or their motorcycles are
by no means the only offenders. 1t is a
grave temptation to many man when
he is feeling good to open up his muf-
fler, pop off a few backfires or other
wise make use of the noise-making abili-
ties of his machine.
But the motorist who gives in to the
impulse, be he adult or youngster, should
remember that the abuse of privileges
always brings about their revocation. The
fellow who roars his auto down the street
with a noise like blitZkrieg is potential
Iva potent force in bring about a strict
police campaign against all of his fel-
lows
1t is better to practice moderation of
ones own accord than to have it en-
forced by another.

CAMERA AS WITNESS
(Palo Alto Times)

The state attorney generals ruling in
reply to a question from Sacramento
county, that movies of a person taken at
the time of his arrest for drunken driving
are admissible as court evidence, may
influence many other communities to
enlist the camera in the war to stamp
out that traffic menace.
The very thought that pictures for per-
manent keeping might be taken in the
event of an arrest should in itself be
something of deterrent to drunken driv-
ing.

Every morning I look out of my
window, which is city window,
and gives on one of the most dra-
matte views in the world.
II is a view as startling as that
Of a Tibetan monastery torn out
of the rock of the top of the Him
alayas or of the Grand Canyon
streaked with as many colors as a
bottle of sand purchased in a chill
dren's sand store.
1t is of New York, my view. OF
Hudson River, of New Jersey Pail
sades, of docks, Hell's Kitchen, sky
scrapers, apartment houses, brown
stone dwellings, petty shops, FAM
lily wash lines, pent houses. ocean
liners. churches, schoolhouSes, ware
houses, motion picture houses, old
houses, new houses, gas tanks and
subway kioSks. Dimly. on the oppo-
site side of the Hudson River, the
view is of country houses set back
in forestry. bridges. automobiles,
crawling like ants along macada-
mized roads. and streets of working
mems dwellings. standing in rows,
like paper dolls cut from folded
newspaper.
1t is the American scene down
there, as dear, as close, as familiar
and desirable to me as the Ameri-
can air 1 breathe these eighteen
stories above the city street.
1t is the American scene, I say
to myself, and out there in all that
medley of human behavior, ambi-
ton, desire, love, hate, hope. cour-
age and fear. is the design of my
country, which stretches from coast
TO coast and from north to south,
its shape that of the map of the
United States of America.
It would be difficult. even allow
ing the straight northerly line, to
fashion a picture frame exactly
the shape Of that map. The jutting
of Florida and lower California
the serrations of the Great Lakes,
the indentations of the Gulf of
Mexico states, would make it a
jig saw carpentry job to fashion
such a picture frame.
But within that framework lies
the problem and the answer TO the
American case. And from my WIN
dow, my little sector of it is every
bit as authentic as the Kansas
wheat sector, the Nevada Mohave
desert sector the Wisconsin dells.
Pennsylvania coal fields. New Eng
land mill towns, Cape Cod fisher
les or Oklahoma oil lands. All of
them part of the American case!
Down there, out there, ] say to
myself, intangible and real; re-
mote and intimate, lies the Ameri-
can dilemma. And valuable beyond
any Of the wealth in her soil. her
banking houses, her communities,
is her integrity as a democracy.
Beneath her surface turmoil and
and torment, fear and hysteria, pol
itics. cross purposes, selfishness and
selffulness, that integrity remains
the paramount issue.
Imbedded even in this one tiny
sector Of scene outside my window
is a spot of protoplasm which is
the source of the life of our ma
ton.
And you cannot define it any
more than you can define life it
self. It squirms with the beginning
of our American ideals and ideas.
1t is the source of our high love
Of freedom, our uneompromising
