Army and Macy Affairs
Need Careful Analysis

I doubt that the general boards
recommendations are going to be
followed by congress. It Is time,
however, to think over some Of the
things that have happened with re-
spect to the navy and the army and
In a few cases the marine corps
and the coast guard. Moreover, 1t
Is time to remember what has hap
pened to every single nation that has
given its military services too much
say about civilian affairs or affairs
that we, in this country. regard as
civilian affairs. 1t cannot be said
with too much emphasis that our
system OF government must live or
die by the measure Of the power
over national policy that is retained
In the hands Of elected officials.
The practice of appointing army
and navy officers to civilian posts
has been growing in recent years
at an alarming rate. The usual
practice has been to appoint retired
officers. More recently, however,
officers have been taken right out Of
the military services = detached
from commands. etc.-and named
to civilian jobs. am not going to

RUBBER

The United States uses more
than half of the worlds total an
nual rubber production and it is
entirely dependent on foreign
sources of supply. The British
Empire controls II per cent of the
world supply. If we should ever
be at war with England, this would
loom up as very serious problem
indeed.

UNDER THE MOON

UNDER THE MOON
Under the moon,
What deeds are done!
A life is lost,
A fight is won.
Two souls go down
A lonely path,
And bitter is
The aftermath.
Two glowing hearts
Meet their desire,
And love shows them
It's living fire.
A thief sinks down
A darkened street,
With hunted looks
And stealthy feet.
Under the moon
A good man prays
For happiness
And better days.
The children dream
Their fairy tales,
Of golden ships
With silver sails.
Across the seas
Men MAIN and kill,
To gain their greed
And force their will.
Under the moon,
What peace and strife
Make up the web
Of human life!

What Price Peace?

Probably single action Of government since
we entered the last World War has stirred much
comment and speculation as the present tour of
European capitals by Sumner Weles. About the only
official information given out by President Roosevelt
and the State Department regarding his mission was
peace We hear that Mr. Weles has discussed peace
terms with various European statesmen, that he is
gathering valuable information" And as he fits from
country to another, the public and the press
tnue to speculate Will peace actually result from this
trip? Will some sort of armistice, at least, follow?
information one as Mr. Weies Is gathering "A'' '
Undoubtedly President Roosevelt hopes that he can
help to bring about peace time in the future
and certainly condemn him for that senti-
ment On the other hand the outlook for stopping the
at this time looks slim. Mr.. Welles can and prob
ably will find out the price that Hitler, Chamberlain,
for laying down arms. Perhaps these demands be
reduced by arbitration and some sort of compromise
effected. That still might not stop the war
The present European conflict not brought
about by the familiar struggle for power and territory
though the claims of both sides make that true.
Both the Chamberlain and Daladier governments made
many concessions to Germany before the war started
and they probably would have been willing to grant
Hitler even more power. However, the British and
French people themselves insisted that the Nazs be
stopped They felt that the spread of Nazi influence
threat not merely TO their countries but to their
personal freedom well. For that reason they were
willing to fight.
Certainly the six months of air and sea battles
have done nothing to make the people of England and
France fear Hitlerism any the less. They know that
the Naz party in Germany is weaker, that Germany
as a nation is by means hanging the ropes. Nor
have they any TO feel that Hitler has changed
his plans for European domination
This is not of governments, but of peoples.

torious. There be no compromise The peoples,
not the leaders OF the countries involved must be sod

New Farm Program

Once again Congressman considering the farm
problem. The New Deal is fighting for the retention
OF its own farm program. Republicans and
Democratic Congressman say the present farm relief
schedule has been flop and suggest dozen and
substitutes for it.
What the outcome will be is uncertain but some
thing will be done "for the farmer" Every Admins
tration, every Congress for decades has had farm
plan. No political campaign is complete without both
parties wranglng the merits of their respective
farm-aid phnks. Yet, while nearly everyone agrees
that such legislation is necessary, that has
been passed has been of real and lasting value to the
farmer. Not one of the many schemes has done what
its hackers promised it would
One of the chief reasons for all this more or less
lost motion has been the making of political football
of farm legislation Each party is it has the right
solution and, consequently, when in power dscards
prior plans to install its Factions within the par
ties fight to have certain put into taken
out of every farm bill The result usually is an
Ineffective, wasteful conglomeration.

say that a couple of these army

that they are the exceptions. The

BOARD TO RULE
 ON FIRE GIFTS
of Commissioner Today Will Establish Dee
 partment Precedent

The board of fire commissioners today is expected to rule on whether or not individual firemen will be al- lowed to receive gifts for services rendered at fires.
 The matter has been studied by the board since the meeting month ago when Fire Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh announced that Private Frank Moore and Lieut.. Eugene A. Legge had turned over to him gifts received from Dr. Dudley Deming for services they rendered at the blaze which destroyed his home.
 Private Moore received gift of $100, while Lieut.. Legge received an unspecifled sum. Another fireman also was given gift, and turned it over to the chief.
 The ruling in the particular cases will establish a precedent, and is therefore awaited with interest by the fire department.
 At last months meeting opinion of the commissioners was divided, some fearing that allowing the men to keep gifts would be dangerous, others holding that the gifts were a. private matter between the fire men and Dr. Deming.
