Second, any abnormal need for
power which exists is due to war ener=

swift construction Of steam plants, not
by the construction of hydro plants
which will toke four or five years to

is dependent upon such imponderobles
as weather, roinfoI, ice, etc. He en-
phosized the foot thot the private ut|-

that the rood to quick results lies in
encouraging these efforts.
Third, the St. Lawrence would make

cided to 60 to at least four

right over the double might
simply incite the uncomfortable
opponents to bid four spades or
five diamonds. In fact, this was
precisely the effect of the jump
when /. was tried ut other tables.
So Howard decided to try to
bluff the opponents out of bid
ding spades, which might be
their best suit.
A bid Of one spade would still
let the opponents in cheaply, so
he bid two spades, . bid that he
knew Mrs. Howard would not
pass. Both opponents were now
content to wait and let North
and South get into trouble. Thus
they were talked out of their
game and actually doubled four
hearts. which Of course was laid

NO ESCAPING
THE CONSEQUENCES

As ferventIy as anybody. we wish
the world were so constituted thot we
didn't have to decide things. If we
could just rock along in some kind Of
Golden Age Ioneuor, letting things
work themselves out, convinced thot
everything would be all right somehow
without our deciding anything, that
would be dandy.
This is q cold iron-ond-steeI world,
however. 1t world in which we have
had conclusive demonstrations that the
most dangerous thing Of all is just to
settle back and drift.
Right now, for instance, Congress
hos the responsibility Of deciding
whether to break up the army built
thus far and stort building new one,
or to hold the present establishment
intact until there is change for the
better in the conditions that dictated
building that army in the first place.
1t is on unpleasant decision. Some
people will be dispIeosed either way.
But Congress hos often complained
thot authority was being taken off its
hands by the executive. With outhor-
ity goes responsibility. In this motter,
it hos both, and the people will hold it's
members responsible for the oonse-
Quences.
Should the United Stotes resoIute-
ly bear down on every action that will
help to defect the Nozi ooeressors?
Those who believe and urge thot bear
potential responsibilities: we might get
into q war with all it's horrors; we might
become involved in the reolionment Of
O Europe we do not know how to re-
align; we might achieve other unfore-
seen results, mostly evil
Should the United Stotes draw back
from octive did to those who resist o.
erosion; pull back to stotic defense
Of this continent, Indifferent to whot
may hoppen in the rest Of the world?
Some like to kid themselves that this
decision is without consequences. Yet
thot decision implies taking this
chonce: if the Germans and japanese
win, break up the British fleet and en-
pire, restrict according to will all U. S.
contacts with the rest Of the world
foment Nozi revolutions in half Of
South America, they might then force
war on q lone United States at their
pleasure.
Either decision today could be
wrong; either decision implies future
possibilities that ore unpleasant.
Yet those consequences, either woy
must be foced; the only objectionable
course is to odvocote O line of conduct

We hope the runor isn't true that
American swindIers have already taken
