Vast Changes Face
America, Declares
Jonathan Daniels
The Stronger We Get,
More filters We Hove
CoroIino Editor Soys
By tie Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Jonathan
Daniels, editor Of the Raleigh IN. c.
News and Observer, said last night
that he believed the Nation was
safe from every assault from far
away-but the conquest by change
is already in progress"
1.-The America I knew, the Amer
lea you knew, is gone" he told the
League for Industrial Democracy in
a prepared address. What we 60
to is either the America We have
feared-or the America we have
hoped for. 1t is not dictatorship I
fear, but ourselves. A better Amer
lea is not going to grow behind our
backs while we look only toward the
sea"
Belittles American "Jitters."
Mr.. Daniels, son of Josephus Dan
iels, United States Ambassador to
Mexico, said that danger as well as
safety Lies in the almost unanimous
preoccupation of Americans with
the crisis which seems to be closing
in upon us from abroad"
I'VE have a task in defense of
America, maybe in defense of the
civilization of the world" Mr..
Daniels said, "but we shall never
preserve the American way of life If
we do not keep our eyes on the
American scene.
SO Sometimes it seems to me
that the stronger we get the more
filters We have. Somehow-maybe
it began as pure gain from a Bah
bittry boastfulness-we seem to have
lost faith in our powers as our
powers have grown.
Unity stronger Now"
1--WE look out to sea with a full
sense of confusion behind us.
People talk about unity as if it were
something America possessed and
has lost. 49, We made the Ameri-
can unity in bloody civil war. It
is strong now. if not stronger, than
it ever was"

Camp Seeking Cut In

Finance Commissioner Declares Conditions Here Inn
 prOyed-City Should "Save" Share of Expenses

MT. Camp, a Republican and treasurer of Platt Bros. & Co., made his suggestion as the board took up a request for an appropriation ot $7,50O from the special sewer fund to pay the city's share of the WPA sanitary sewer project for the next month. Employment in the city has increased, said Commissioner Camp and the city should be able to cut down the number on the WPA and thus lower expenditures for WPA projects. The finance board, he rec commended, should take action to see that those on the WPA who have members of their families reg ularly employed should be dismissed
 Mayor Scully pointed out that only the deserving are given WPA jobs, and that constant check-upS are made to make certain that all those on the rolls need the jobs. As for the suggestion that the WPA rolls be cut down, he said to MT Camp: wen be glad to do it, ii you fellows will hire them"
 The $7,500 transfer was voted.
 The board also approved a $3,00( transfer to pay the cost of tempo rary repairs to the Washington ave nue bridge. Commissioner Camp recommended that load limit regu- lations on all local bridges be strict ly enforced. The mayor said that even after repairs, loads on the Washington avenue bridge will have to be limited to Is tons.
 Commissioner c. Arthur DuBois expressed the opinion that com. prehensive, city-wide bridge pro- gram should be drawn up, and tht costs estimated

Jack Swetland has worked longer and harder on this book than Noah Webster did on his dictionary. The job is accurate and packed full of the most ex- citing episodes.

 When we unloaded in Harris burg the other morning, the first thing we saw as we rolled toward the depot from the envirOns of the town were cornfields of Lan- caster County. Pennsylvania rates high as an agricultural state but they cannot raise corn there to compare with our crop. Harris burg is a steel town and the yards of the mills were packed heavy with carload after carload of steel and iron scrap. It looked as if every junk man in the U. S. A. had been disregarding regula- tions and working overtime. If we could convert just half of the junk we saw into shell and send 1t over ahead of a stiff prOpelling charge to SCOUT the ranks of Hit Ter, Stalin & Co.,, the war would cease within a week and the world would again start worrying about surpluses.
