Maybe DR.. Thornwell Jacobs was
right after all.
He is the president of Ogle-
thorpe University, near Atlanta.
Five years or more ago he conceived
the idea of sealing up in a vault
a record of life in the world to-
day. In 8113 A. D., some 5000 years
hence. he hopes the people then
living in the world will open up the
vault and g2-2 in popeycd Won
der at the relics of what men called
civilization in 1910.
When DR.. Jacobs first announced
the idea. a lot of people thought it
was a little on. the bizarre side. True
enough. it won't matter to any Of
us what people in 81l3 may think
of life in 1910. Wen be dust long

IN AN EMERGENCY, FORGET
SOCIOLOGICAL IDEALISMS

If this is, as our administration tells
us, national emergency calling for the
combined efforts of all, then the admin
iStration is closing its eyes to one bit of
industrial sabotage which it should be
quick to Squclch.
The CIO, for the purposes Of organic
ing more members, has tied up conStruc
tion Of two navy cruisers and two de
StroyerS in thr kcarney, \. J. shlpyards.
If this is an emergency, business and
industry will be called upon to pay the
highest taxes in history, to gear its plants
to wartime production, to take a mora
torium on profits. Why, then should
not the CIO-and all other unions-de
clare a moratorium on organization and
strikes?
The ideaistic, sociological theories of
the New DeaI should not stand in the
way Of enforcing cooperation in all
branches Of pational life, if it is to be
enforced in one If tEs is an emergency,
lets meet it like one.

TIME TO LET THE
PEOPLE KNOW

Gen George c. Marshall. chief of Statf,
Saturday declared that President RooSe-
velt's request for discretionary power
to call the National Guard into active ser
vice is a precautionary move against
recognized possibility of dangerous de-
velopments in this hemisphere.
Possibly Gen. Marshall. and President
Roosevelt, know far more than they have
told the nation. The United States has
an efficient, highly organized secret ser
vice operating beyond our shores and
turning in confidential information at
all times 1t is logical to suppose that
this secret service has kept the President
and the army informed if there is amy
immediate, actual threat against this
hemisphere.
We fail 10 see why the existence of such
a threat should he kept secret at this
time, if it exists Either ii should be
brought out into the open, or not men
toned at all. BY limiting, but telling
nothing, the administration seems to be
playing a propaganda game aimed at
creating a war hysteria among the Amer
icn people.
The situation. on the surface of it, is
serious enough. There should be no
holding back in creating a powerful ma
tional defense. Better to take chance
now of wasting another billion or so
than to wake up a year from now and
wall, MY God, why didn't we prepare
for thiS?"
But the President, to assure the peo-
pie he is administering wisely, should
tell them WHY.
If Germany. or any other power, has
designs upon the western hemisphere
within the next year, It could do no harm
to tell the people of the hemisphere about
it now. 1t might do a lot Of good. There
is such thing as mental as we'll as phys
ical preparedness And, more than that,
the PreSident-if such threat exists, is
taking lot upon himself when by keep
ing silence. he assumes that he and he
alone is competent to meet the threaten
ed emergency. No matter how wise he
may be, he should realize that others
might devise a better method which he,
as administrator. could use. But, unless
others know the information he possess
es, they are helpless.
Above all, the nation must have con-
fidence in the man who is to guide it
through whatever emergency may arise
and confidence is based on knowledge
of the problems to be met and the means
taken to meet them. If we know the
means taken. it is natural that some of
us will assume that things may be done
for a more private or political reason.
Let US know, if the danger is greater

Two Hunters
 Starve, Death

VANCOUVER, B. C.. April G. The bodies of trappers James Ryck- van and Lloyd Coombs have been brought to Vancouver by plane for )urial.
 The bodies of the two men were found by a searching party on Van couver Island.
 Ryckman had died of starvation and Coombs committed suicide with his rifle to avoid a like fate.
 The two men left a diary giving a graphic account of their losing fight against hunger when they were marooned four months by floods.
