COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

and as an indication of the existence
of strange lines of alleged thought in
periods of stress and hysteria.
Completion of 1880 new structures,
all for public use, and repair and i'm
provement of 8,876 other publicly
owned structures and facilities, high
lighted the construction program of
the National Youth Administration
during the fiscal year ending June 80,
1910, N. Y. A. Administrator Aubrey
Williams announced
Williams statement was based on a
tabulation of the physical accomplish
ments of the N. Y. A. out-of-school
work program for the last fiscal year.
During the last fiscal year N. Y. A.
youth contributed to education by
building 312 new schools or additions
to schools and repaired and improved
1854 other school buildings. N. Y. A.
youth built 129 other new educational
buildings and repaired and improved
130 more. They completed IL new IL
braries and repaired and improved 90
others.
Better health facilities have been
made available in many communities
as result of the N. Y. A. construc-
tion program last year which ac-
counted for completion of new hos
pitfalls or additions and repair and i'm
provement of 81 others; 81 new isola-
tion buildings for communicable dis
ease patients, and repair and improve
ment of IL others; and 9 other new
medical buildings, and repair and i'm
provement of 120 others.
Each of these projects was co-spon-
sored by local public agency which
paid part of the cost and which will
maintain it for public use. Not only
have these N. Y. Adult structures
added to the wealth Of the community
in which they are located, but they
have provided young people with the
opportunity to secure valuable work
experience, Administrators Williams
said.

" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet we
tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. Sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

There are reports to the effect that
the young men of conscription age are
making a terrible squawk about reg
istering and that the members of the
National Guard are making a par
ticularly loud squawk, on the ground
that they are being called to service
for which they didn't enlist.
There may be something to these
reports.
1t is true that many who enlisted
in the Guard did so for reasons that
had little or nothing to do with any
very serious or prolonged service.
However, it must be true that very
few enlisted without knowing the law
governing service in the Guard.
But there is something rather seri-
Gus to be said about the whole subject
and that is that If there is this
large squawk, then somebody is to
blame
We think the blame lies in two main
sources.
In the first place, the United States
faces a situation next door to war,
whether anybody likes it or not In a
situation like that of today there isn't
any monkey business.
1t isn't the job of any particular
group or set to defend the nation.
1t is the business of EVERY
BODY.
Now for the first blame. That lies
slam bang on the shoulders of news
papers that have failed to print the
truth about how serious the situation
is. Many of them have played politics
with the fate of the nation-and they
are still doing it.
And for the second blame. That
goes to the propaganda agencies in
Guiding such outfits as the National
Council for the Prevention of War,
which has it's roots in the last war in
a way that will be remembered by ev-
eryone who remembers the snares and
snags of that period.
1t includes, too, the professional So
called youth organizations. These are
the creations of men and agencies
long past youth, for purposes that

NO EXCUSE

However it may be with nations
that are actually on the fighting line,
for us at this time there is no need
and therefore can be no excuse for
pigeonholing questions that concern
the general welfare of the people IN
ordinary times. Some of these might,
indeed. become even more acute in
wartime than they are now; and our
strength and power of endurance if
we have to fight will depend partly
on how much we have done to improve
our social and economic conditions
while there is yet time.-The New
Leader, New York City.
