CARD OF THANKS: To the
many friends and neighbors who
came to us during the illness and
death of our beloved husband and
father and contributed all that
human kindness could in help and
comfort, we wish to express our
Warmest thanks, also for the
beautiful floral offerings and al
though such devoted friendship
cannot remove the sad memories
that linger around our vacant
chair, it brings into view the
brightest side of humanity, and
throws the pure light of an I'M
selfish friendship into our dark
ened home. May the day be far
distant when those friends who
gathered around us will need
similar attention but when the
time comes may they receive the
same full measure of generous aid
and tender sympathy they
brought to Our home when death
was an inmate there.-Mrs. Paul

And Germany has never declared
war on England. The United States,
in the opinion of excellent author
tiles, could be up to its neck in
war without ever going through the
legal formalities of declaring war.
This situation will in all probable
ity have an important effect on the
presidential election. Mr.. Roose-
velt's aggressively pro-British pol
icy seems to be generally supported
by the country. But Mr.. Willkie is
also pro-British, and the speech in
which Secretary Wallace intimated
that a vote for Willkie was a vote
for appeasement was not well receiv-
ed save in the most violently parti-
san Democratic circles. The diff
ference between Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Willkie, SO far as the war is
sue is concerned, is largely one of
method. And there the Republic
cans seem to have an excellent case
the best observers, including many
who are for New Deal detectives,
think that the Presidents most
notable failure has been in the field
of administration. MIR. Willkie is
a very successful businessman, and
is first class administrator. He
should be able to capitalize on that,
say the experts, and thus win many
a voter on the grounds that he will
be able to arm this country more
rapidly and effectively-and follow
a pro-British, anti-Axis policy with
risk to our own safety.
That is the kind of issue on which
great campaigns can be based.

JUST SAYING THAT

There issues wish from all of us,
now and then, for a return to the
good old days when tomatoes sold
for Is cents peck, hens for Is
cents, so cents a bushel for pota-
toes and butter at 10 cents a
pound. The cry usually stops there,
for if one delves further into
those good old days, the wage scale
was high at $1.25 and $3.50 a day.
Folks knew little of the comforts
and conveniences that we in Ken
newick enjoy today. With radios,
telephones, telegraph, railroads,
autos and airplanes, we keep in
touch with the outside world in ways
unheard of in those good old days.
Our culture in the world of art, mu-
sic and science has made strides
since eggs sold for IL and Is cents
a dozen. There is a lot of senti-
ment attached to those days gone
by, and at a time like, the present
when we are receiving such terrify-
ing news over these modern means
of communication, when our great
inventions are turned against man
instead of for him, it is natural that
we think Of yesterdays when mans
nature made him more appreciative
of the simpler things, when his re-
sires were for a peaceful and rest
full life, when noise and excitement
were not around him at every hand.
It is high speed that causes us to
wish for the good old days rather
than tomatoes at Is cents peck.

TEACHING DEMOCRACY

There will be an increased en-
deavor on the part of Kennewick
schoolteachers to give their students
a greater appreciation of democracy
this school year. There will be a
national effort to instill love of
country into each pupil in all class
rooms over this land. It is going to
be a bit of a problem for some
teachers to answer the question of
what is democracy" It goes with
out saying that during political cam
paigns you hear much Grating on
democracy, rights and justice, sins
of party leaders and so on. The
school child must heed wise words
of teachers who are striving to give
them a knowledge of the funda-
mental rights of democracy, of
the honest voter and the sincere pol
itician, of the advantages of liberty
and equality and forthrightness.

Ol1e OF CI1e COIllIIlellGdG LOTS TeCe1lGly
wrote that if the destroyers-for-E Eng
land deal had been made eight or
ten months ago it would have liter
ally caused riots in the streets, and
brought the wrath of a large part
of the nation down upon the Presi-
dent, his advisors and official fam
lily. Now so greatly has the Ameri-
can peoples attitude toward the
European war changed, the trade
went through almost undramatical-
~. There was criticism of the Pres
ident's method of concentrating it.,
but almost no criticism of the mo-
tive-that of helping England.
While, in theory, the deal was sim
ply business-like exchange where
by we got valuable air and naval
bases in trade for ships which our
Navy considers obsolete, in actual
fact it was aggressively pro-British
and anti-Nazi. It is generally believ-
ed that we could have gotten the
bases without giving England the
destroyers.
The almost routine way in which
this deal was made, in. view of some
commentators, illustrates how rapid
ly the United States has come to
the brink Of war.
It is certainly true that there is
little talk now of American neutral
ity. We are violently partisan. Our
status is simply one of non-bellig-
erency, very similar to that of Italy
before she joined arms with the
Reich. According to the polls, about
ninety-nine percent of our people
want England to win, and a sub
stantial majority believe that we will
be in danger of invasion if Eng
land loses. This Administration OBJ
viously believes that Hitler will at
tack us if he manages to destroy
England this year-naval and mill
tary spokesman, according to au-
thoritative information, have said
unofficially that they would not be
surprised If the attack came next
year. IF England survives, the pic
ture of course will be drasticalIy
changed. Then, think the authori-
ties, we will be safe-time will be on
our side, and we will he able to Gre
ate an invincible military defense
that will discourage any potential
invader. + .=<..@s. K. /
The talk that is going on in WASH |
ington Is war talk The shadow of |
war, and the possibility of our act
ual participation in war, dominates
everything that the government |
does. Some of that talk deserves
the thoughtful attention of every
American. According to one school
of thought-and it is an influential
school-the destroyer trade marked
simply the beginning. England, if
she survives the winter, will next
need modern fighting ships, and
crews to operate them. She will
need our army and navy fighting |
planes, along with their pilots. This
school thinks we will of necessity
give them to her. 1t is clearly very |
different matter for a government
to supply belligerent power with |
the tools of war than for private |
industry to sell them TO her. i
No one expects this country to de- |
clare war on Germany-not, at |
least, for long time to come. But |
nowadays a declaration of war is |
Of little importSnce-great wars
have been going on for years, such
as the Sino-Japanese affair, with
out declaration from either side.
