ROADS FOR WAR

The United States has always been
proud of its road systems. No other
country of anything like the same size
has such complete system of hard-sur-
faced roads.
The road system WAS built as the coun-
try was built for peace. II was built TO
get the farmers out Of the mud, to enable
products to move 10 market, people To
travel from place To place readily for
pleasure OF profit.
Now il seems that some Of our roads.
built for peace. are not suitable Tor war.
In the East Texas army maneuvers many
secondary roads broke down under the
heavy pounding et motorized equipment.
Here again we shall have to keep one
eye on road design in future with view
to military use. German road-bulldlng,
and railroad-buildng for all that has
been for Years strategic first, then civil
ian. We need not go that far, but since the
world is what it is today. we ought to
build no more important roads without
due regard for their military value.

RAINY-DAY SUPPLIES

The program for buying up stocks OF
things that would come in mighty handy
in case the United States were attacked
is making real progress.
Latest deals involve purchase Of 15O,-
600 tons of crude rubber, and $4,000 tons
of pig tin. The federal government has
organized special corporations to engl-
neer the buying. and in doing so has intro
duced a new technique of cooperation
by the RFC and the principal rubber
companies. That insures that there shall
not be any abnormal competitive bidding
for normal supplies. and also that aging
rubber stocks will be replaced by new

The STUPIDITY OF TERROR

The bomb explosion at the New York, S
Worlds Fair is one of those things which
leave one speechless. 1t is SO coWardly,
so contemptible, 80 useless. and SO stupid.
Three such outrages have now been per
petrated in -SeN York in two weeks. lhe
net result: Ten innocent bystanders IN
iured, two brave policemen killed in pro-
tecting others from this sneaklng attack
five other police badly injured.
Whatever may have been in the warped
mind of the perpetrators of these out
RACES. it is almost certain that these were
not the results hoped for. No possible
result can ever follow such things except
to inspire in every decent person loath-
ing and contempt not only for the persons
involved but for whatever cause they hope
to serve in this vile way.

CLASS AND POLITICS
(Rathdrum, Ida, Trlbune)

There is a growing tendency to weld
class groups into political units. This
will lead to class conflicts and obscure
the main objectives of legislation-that
of protection of individual liberty.
A situation where voters would oppose
certain groups rather than cast their bal
lots for a man or his principles is un-
American and undemocratic.
The political RECOMMENDATION OF class
against class, race against race, religion
against religion, will bring endless con-
troversy. Questions in no way related TO
the political problem in the election will
confuse the vital issues at stake.
When the curtain of the election is
drawn, it bars all traditions and tags eX-
cept that of "American Citizen.

VISITING CANADA

In one way II is unfortunate that the
United States felt called upon this year
10 require suddenly that all visiting Can
adams must have passports.
This led many people To the natural
conclusion that the thing worked both
ways, and that passports We're required
of Americans visiting Canada.
That isn't true Canada badly needs
American tourists this summer because
the dollars they spend enable Canada to
use those dollars To buy badly needed
supplies in the United States. SO Can
ada did not apply the same restrictions
against Americans that the Americans
had Just applied IL her. Travel into
Canada is no more restricted this year
than it ever MAS.
In Canada it is generally believed that
rumors of difficulty i'll travelling IN Can
ada are deliberately spread by fifth col
umnists" bent on discouraging this travel
and thus handicapng Canada. Whether
that is true or not. Americans ought gen
orally to understand that Canada has

BEST NEWS OF THE DAY
( Riverside Daily Press)

1t would be hard to envision any better
news than the fact that 100000 people
returned to work in May, and that around
46,377 900 people are now working.
These figures do not include 2,2l4, 900
employees in the government emergency
working force If they were to be in
cluded, the total of employed people
would actually be greater than in 1929.
True, the population has increased, and
we must do much better than that True,
also, much of the gain is probably due
to war and ospect-of-War employment.
True again. when the world returns 10
sanity and peace, much of the problem
may have to be faced all over again. But
the fact that nearly half million men
have gone back to work is welcome news
at anv time and under any circumstances.
