PERMANENT TRAINING

1t was inevitable that the United States
should consider permanent system of
compulsory military training, as soon as
the first newness wore off of the present
selective service system.
There is lot to be said for a, system of
training under which young men would
automatically devote a certain period of
their life to their country after they
reached a stated age.
For one thing, such training would
drive home as nothing else could the
knowledge that this country and its way
of life are not things that "just happen
ed" but that they need attention, care
and defending.
For anoher, such training would do
much to give young men better physical
start in life, a closer acquaintance with
Others an ability to get along under dis
cipline, and knowledge of what coop
GRAFTON can do to make a community's
burden lighter
All that-and defense, too. The plan
is worth considering.

GERMANY IS RIGHT,
BUT WHAT OF IT?

At long last, Germany has abandoned
the diplomatic preteXt of stunning down
right, fixed-policy denunciation of the
United States
The Nazis are out in the open now with
declaration that Uncle Sans policies
represent challenge" and an insult,
and are "insupportable.'
From the Nazi standpoint, they're
right There is no use kidding ourselves
into thinking that Germany will, or
should, refrain from recognizing official
ly this country's strong efforts to help
Great Britain win the war.
To be entirely logical, we cannot ap-
plaud when our own national leaders de-
nounce Germany, and yet expect Ger
many never to denounce the United
States.
So let us recognize the German pro-
nouncement for what it is, a statement
bringing into the open that which we all
secretly know. We are Germany's enc
my. She is ours. Only actual warfare
is missing.
Facing this fact squarely, as We must,
it becomes apparent to the most casual
observer that precautions approaching
those of wartime are of vital necessity
to guard the United States against NaZi-
in<Sired sabotage discord and disaster.
If you were a German, living in Ger
many, inculcated with the NaZi doctrine,
you would see nothing wrong with an
effort to sabotage factories in the United
States which are turning out war ma
chimes for the British. To that extent,
we are at war with Germany today. We
must recognize the fact.
There is no use reviewing the factors
which have brought us to this stage. They
are in the past More than that, they
are in accord with the desires Of an over
whelming majority of Americans. We
want to see Great Britain win. We be-
lieve we are justified in helping her win.
We believe Germany, if she We're the vic
tor in Europe's war, would be hammering
with her war machine at our own gates
next. We cannot tolerate the threat she
represents to Democracy.
Reviewing the facts in the clear light
of common sense, there seems only one
justifiable conclusion.
Every help we can humanity give Great
Britain should be given as soon as it is
humanity possible to give it. For Great
Britain now is fighting a nation which
has announced publicly, irrevocably, that
our government is, in its viewpoint. "in-
supportable" Germany has recognized
is as her enemy. We should be no less
candid. She is our enemy.
Whatever we might have believed six
months ago, today we have only one al
tentative, if we are to survive.

he says that 1.-The only way to get

It is not too much to say that

that the American people are pre-

AN INTELLIGENT ARMY
Nevada State JournaD

Americas 1910 Army draftees or train
ees are smart. They are so smart that
they are surprising the psychologists who
are testing their smartneSs. Statistics
from Fort Dix, n. j., reveal that 338 men,
out of 2,961 examined, qualified for Glass
! rating. This is a proportion of II per
cent. The psychologists had expected
only about per cent to make the grade
for Glass l. In Glass 2, the second bright
est group, whence some officers and
many noncoms, as we'll as many bright
and able clerks and general office work
ers," are expected to come, the psychofo-
bists had a bigger surprise. They had
expected "a per cent of 5fle draftees to
land in this class. The actual percentage
was AZ.
Adding II per cent to AZ per cent, it
is seen that SO per cent of the soldiers
examined made the two highest brackets.
The psychologists had expected the mid
die range Glass 8, that of "the average
soldiers, able to act without constant
supervision" to claim at least SO per
cent of the men examined. Only % per
cent landed in the average soldier" class;
only 13 per cent in Glass A, and only 6
per cent in Glass 5, the lowest.
The nation will be glad to learn that
the psychologists have discovered what
most persons already suspected-that
the new Army is going to be made up of
intelligent and fine young Americans.
That was one of the purposes of the draft
to select the young men from all walks
of life and weld them together into an
intelligent and we'll trained army The
volunteer method of building an army
has its fine points but the selective serv-
ice method insures the securing Of a
cross section of young manhood.

The Inside Track in Washinqton

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-While
Senator Burton K. Wheeler suns
himself on a liner in the Pacific
certain Department of Justice Of
ticials are mere than a little wor-
ried about the future of his pend
ing investigation into U. S. indus
try's foreign tle-upS. ...
Unottlclally, and Sub-rosa, the
department is aWfully ANXIOUS TO
have that investigation pushed. 1t
Is convinced that a thorough probe
OF trade and patent agreements
between big German and American
ndusrlahsts would reveal some
surprising facts, and it figures a
senate committee is best fitted to
do the job.
But Wheeler's committee won't
get going until after the first of
the year. In his absence, the Dies
committee has begun to show an in
terest in the same subject. Now the
justice people are afraid Dies might
steal the whole show. They figure
Wheeler would do a first-rate job,
and that Dies probably wouldn't
but that Dies work would spoil
things for Wheeler
wheeler himself apparently is
MT worried. He is said TO feel that
there's no good reason why Dies
shouldn't look into this subject if
he wants to. Also, he doesn't share
Justices distrust of the rangy Tex
