BY RUTH MILLETT

Parents are making a big mis-
take.
In a pushing, showing, croWdlng
world, they are bringing up thel1
children to be modest. And MOD
esty is a virtue that only the mar
or woman who is a recognized
genius, or who has made his marx
can afford.
In a set-up where there are more
people than jobs, modesty is a ter,
rife handicap. 1t isn't even called
modesty any more-it is called an
s%'inferiority complex"
Modesty is
Overrated virtue
How modesty eve came to be
regarded so highly in a competitive
world is a puzzle. For it isn't a
hard thing to achieve-or fake.
In fact, it is much simpler to ap-
pear modest, and so not invite
competition and criticism than it
is to walk cockily and dare the
world to get you down.
Instead of q%uelching their chill
dren at every turn and holding up

News papers throughout the ma
ton commented as follows on Presi.
dent Roosevelt's defense program:
New York Times-There cannot
be the slightest doubt that the
country expects Congress to re-
spond promptly TO the appeal
made yesterday by the president
for measures to strengthen the
defenses OF the United States. Mr..
Roosevelt did not overstate the po-
tential dangers with which we are
confronted In q time and o world
when aggression has gone mad.
New York Herald Tribune-The
president called yesterday for more
than q billion dollars Of additional
defense appropriations and con-
tract authorize tons. II this coun-
try Is to face the real problems Of
the real world with which the Eu-
ropean war Is likely TO confront
us, every nickel OF this and much
more will no doubt have to be
spent.
Scripps- Howard Newspapers -
The president asks $i,l82 ,000, 900
for defense. in addition to two bill
lions already ucketed for that pur-
pose. Congress shows every inten-
ton Of voting the money, and we
think 1t should do SO, with all pos
sible haste. Republican leaders on
Capitol Hill have laid aside parti-
sanship and are cooperating with
the Democrats, which Is what they
should do In times like these.
New York Mirr0r-No American
In these critical days will complain
about the amount of money that Is
to be spent to defend America;
but every American will, or should
ask:
I'VE have already spent eight
billions for defense under your adj
ministration, Mr.. Roosevelt. Don't
you think we should investigate
and find out why we got no more
from our first eight billion dollars
before we feverishly hurl another
three billions down the same
hole?"
Baltimore Sun-Mr. Roosevelt
revealed full understanding that
the United States has been over
taken by the danger that isolation
will be imposed upon us-isolation
on the terms Of conquerers in Eu-
rope and In Asia. Mr.. Roosevelt's
emergency arms program Is sound.
1t should be enacted with unfiag-
ging zeal by the war and navy de-
partments. Time Is or the esssence.
