Population Gains

Cities and towns are anxiouslJ
looking for the census figures to
show whether they are losing OF
gaining. In some years when the
country took in around a million
immigrants each year, and large
families were still being raised, a
town seemed to be losing its place
on the map if it did not make a
good gain. The wiseacres of such a
city would shake their heads gloom
lily, and say the community was not
living up to the mighty deeds of its
founders.
In these times when we have
come fairly near closing the immi-
grafton door, except for some who
enter illegally, and when people
think hard before having large fam
lilies. the population question is
something else again.
A gain in population is universal
ly welcomed as indicating that a
city has enterprise and energy. and
that it is making things that the
world wants. so that people come
there to share in this prosperity.
Yet some communities that have
made population gains do not seem
to have profited greatly, There was
more business in these places. more
money in circulation, but the COM
munity did not grow more attrac-
tive. The burdens created by the
new population seemed in many
cases to Offset the benefits that it
brought.
The principal standard for iudg-
ing community is the quality of the
life, not its size. If community is
a finished and beautiful town. it
will attract a high type of people
Skilled workers will come there and
create nice, homes. Such a. PLACE
WIN have good Schools, It viii Be
well governed. and its residents will
be proud of it, and life will be pleas
ant and rewarding in such a COM
munity. The American people seem
to have passed the stage where they
viewed numbers as the most inn
portant thing. Today they value in
telligence more than anything else.

WILL HITLER WIN?
81 I. - nAYroN. "a.

The sentiment Of this country II
Overwhelmingly against Hitler
/ Most people hope England viii win
lyet many say, AFTER an, 1t is heI
war. we should mind our own busi-
! ness" But do we look ahead far
enough in considering our own vel
fare?
UnquestionabIy. as Americans
our duty Is to our own country. Is
America safe? II not, what course

Ecriticizing Great Britain for blthi-
ering into her present predicament
when we, ourselves, may be disre-
garding the lessons to be learned
from her mistakes. Is there no sim
ilarity between English complacen-
cy few years ago and American
indifference today.
Even Chamberlain and his allies
would have been incapable Of wreck
ing the British Empire If It had not
been for the apathy Of the people Of
the Empire. They did not want war
of course not. Only wild beasts
| like Hitler and Mussolini want war.
But in their desire TO stay out OF
war, the British allowed Chamber
lain to fool them into thinking they
could have peace merely by wanting
il badly enough. Now with millions
slaughtered or tortured in concen-
tration camps, they can see that
their methods were wrong but-they
see it too late.
Now the English supporters of
Chamberlain can bemOan the ear
lier destruction OF their former po-
tential allies, one by one, without
their country having offered any
help at a time when IL would have
been effective. All these allies work
ing together, could have swamped
Hitler so readily that there would
have been no bloodshed. The rank
and file of Great Britain have wax
ened up too late-as Hitler expected
they would. Will we also do what
Hitler expects and also pay the
price in loss OF hundreds of thou
sands of lives?
We are almost too late now. Per-
haps we are, but there is still
chance. Our greatest danger is from
the people who say st can't hap
pen here" or 'it is not our war.
why get in it,, Isn't it clear that
Germany doesn't bother to declare
war?
Did war start against Norway
when the military forces arrived in
the open? Or did it start when the
Fifth Column began its treacherous
operations years ago? viii Hitler's
military attack on US be necessary |
to prove that Germany is at war
with us? Isn't Hitler at war with |
us now with his agents operating
against American institutions with |
his best approved treacherous meth
