Preparedness

funds for preparedness and the en-
largement of the army and navy,
there is ever so much more reason for
person to be at the head of govern
ment with economic tendencies and
not a spendthrift. If you aren't con-
WINGED yet that Roosevelt is a spend
thrift, you should read carefully the
table showing the spending Of Ameri-
can presidents, published first from
the Sun Bureau in Washington.
George Washington began with a
deficit, receiving $32, 665, 765, and
spending $34.O88,5 At the end of
his administration the public debt
stood at SO million. John Adams and
Thomas jefferson ran their admins
trations and left a surplus while re-
ducing the national debt. The war of
1872 ran the national debt to 127 mil
lion but the next three presidents fol-
lowing James Madison-James Mon
roe, John Q. Adams and Andrew
Jackson reduced the debt while main
tanning a surplus, and the debt was
only $336,958 when Jackson's admins
tration ended.
The debt jumped during the Mexi-
can war and went over the two billion
mark during the Civil War. Benjamin
Harrison brought it under a billion
and it remained there until the World
War, when it sky-rocketed to almost
"A billion.
But the most significant thing of all
is the following:
Total of all Presidents up to F. D.
Roosevelt served 14418 years. These
administrations received 91A billion,
spent 112 billion, leaving a deficit of
201a billion and a public debt of $22,-
538,672,164.
F. D. Roosevelt has been president
for eight years. His administrations
receipts have been 40 billion and the
expenditures have been 651a billion,
showing a deficit of 251a billion and
a public debt of almost As billion.
Roosevelt doubled the public debt dur
ing peacetime, while at the same time
ne received half as much as all other
presidents preceding him combined.
And most of it went to build polit-
ical machine with which he now APP
parently intends to violate a sacred
American tradition and try to be
elected for a third term.
The danger of war will also be an
other appeal he will use to try to keep
him in office
The danger of war makes it all the
more imperative that man be placed
in the White House who is economical
and wise in the use of public money.
President Roosevelt has certainly
demonstrated that he isn't that per-
son.

Tons and tons of sand have been
brought in to make an ideal beach
Just at the edge of the beach and
about 100 feet from the water there is
being erected a native stone building
that will accommodate the vacation
lists for showers and dressing rooms
and will also have a recreation room.
The shower rooms are approximate.
ly Is feet square, with the recreation
room 20X25. The construction work is
being done by CCC labor, and after it's
completion it is to be turned over to
the Forestry Department.
The Forestry Department has also
erected number of cabins in the Her,
rington Manor reserve that may be
secured by vacationists at reasonable
rates.
1t is expected that the area will be
opened to the public in July. At the
present time one has to take chances of
getting in to see things when workmen
are there, otherwise the gate is
locked.
1t is peaceful and altogether quiet

place to ice-skate this winter.

This week there came to the desk
a circular from committee to defend
America by aiding the Allies. This
committee holds that the consequences
of defeat of the Allies in the Euro
pean war would be a grave peril to
America and the Institutions for
which it stands.
The circular says that Hitler has
declared that not only England and
France but also the United States
"must be smashed as world powers
and that Germany will rule the world
before 1948." No threat uttered by
him has he ever failed to attempt to
carry out; and the present state of
Europe is evidence Of the danger of
not taking his threats seriously. The
committee states the plainest dictate
of common sense is for the United
States to do all it effectively and ex-
pediently, can to insure the victory OF
the Allies.
In a radio address recently DR..
Arthur o. Lovejoy quoted Adolf Hit
Ter as giving the answer to the tragic
situation in Europe with these words,
"the trouble with democracies is that
they wake up too late. They won't
believe they are in danger until the
danger is too threatening to be over
come"
America, we believe, is getting
awake to the dangers of the fifth
column" America is taking steps to
subdue such tendencies in this coun-
try, and rightly so.
1t is a good thing to get alarmed
at times. 1t brings US to a realiza-
ton Of what might happen if we con-
tinue to foster labor trouble, sit-down
strikes; to countenance the "bunds",
Communists organizations of many
descriptions, that have for their sole
purpose the overthrow of government
United States has free speech and
freedom of activity, but it ought to
stop when people abuse that privilege
by attempting to overthrow the gov
eminent that gives that freedom.

duced by taxes. Even war talk and
a feeling that the right side is
winning brings increased activity
in the stock market. The demand
for labor will put more money in
to the pockets Of the man on Main
Street and into the tills OF stores.
Only unbiased historians years
hence will be able to judge wheth-
err or not wars ever provide last
ing economic values. Surely, real
prosperity can come from our pre-
sent situation only as il strength
ems our character and teaches US
needed lessons.
Let's Remember 1929
Unfortunately we have not yet
recovered from the effects of the
last war. Furthermore, fundamen-
tally, We profited little from it,
either financially or spiritually.
We had a slump in business after
the armistice, followed by several
years of rising values. Then came
the swift kick in the pants so
many OF us remember. Now. We
are on the eve OF another great
outbreak. God grant that it will
not come before We are prepared.
Our country is like a sick child
who before recovering from an
ear abscess breaks out with chick
en- pox. We are not yet out OF the
depression starting In 1929. Tenn
porarily, the economic situation
will ease up. bringing us to a
false sense of security and pros
perity. Geographically our country
is so large, and our numbers and
resources so great, that many
have the impression we cannot be
licked. However, in Hitler's eyes
we are already tottering from
internal labor troubles and Con
gressional fights. And the thought
may not be far fetched.
Prosperity Best Defense
Germany now has the great
bulk of the resources of the Con-
tinent, let alone the Scandinavian
countries. With this backing, any
thing can happen TO US economi-
cally. One saving grace is that in
all history no man has yet con-
quered the world. If have learn
ed anything in the last forty
years, it concerns mans frailty.
Some day leader will rise in
some other country who will be

must keep prepared economically
as we'll as militarily for which
ever way the tide turns.
