MOUNTAIN SONG.

Stars blowing owe the prairie
Are beautiful to behold,
But faircr still is a mountain
Tall III the sunsets gold.
He who looks long on Il mountain
Grows lonely for clouds at length,
And seeks the distant horizon,
Lured by the mountains strength
Up to the glimmering highlands,
Through prairie grass wild with
dew;
Whoever measures Il mountain,
Climbs to the mountains blue.
Back on the ripping prairics
The larkS and bobWhiteS cry,
But my hearts song is a mountain
Quiet against the sky.

ROADS FOR WAR AND PEACE

BE PREPARED. That is the toe
sin that reverberates throughout
the United States today. The intel
ligent and foresighted citizen real
ICES that it is not only vital to be
prepared for war. We must also
prepare for peace. While the inn
mediate and most urgent need is
for a program to ready America to
defend itself if need arises, we
must also look beyond the present
emergency to the day when this
international confagratien will be
extinguished. Then the world
must rise from its ashes and begin
to rebuild.
The national defense program
today demands the full-time ener-
gies of tens of thousands of skill
ed and unskilled workers. Employ
ment will reach a new peak as men
are put to work by defense indus
tries, while additional thousands
are withdrawn from the ranks of
einployables by selective service.
Factories operate at top speed and
expand to meet the steadily rising
flow of defense orders. The man
who sees no. farther ahead then

though it had been explained,
there were still many points just
not clear to the farmers, just what
it would cost him or who would
pay the bill. Members OF the Agri-

Committee admitted they were not
thoroughly familiar with the bill.
1t was decided not to present a
resolution but after sounding out
the sentiment of the grange, the
vote showed 81 to IL in faver of

Economic experts, however, are

before too late to prevent such a

We must look ahead to the day
when there will be no defense or

HITLER HAS A HEADACHE
By L. Lee Layton. Jr.

Yugoslavia's action on March q
settled one acrimonious debate
The appeasers had claimed tina
Germany could not be defeated
Those called "Warmongers" haC
claimed that Hitler could, anC
should, be defeated, and that his
suecesses were due not only to his
military weapons, but even more to
his Fifth Columnfsts in the coun-
tries he was going to seize. Yngo-
sIaEia has proved the correctness
Of this latter point of view.
The Lindberghs and Senator
Wheelers of Yugoslavia almost de-
livered that country to Hitler-but
missed. History will probably
show that the defeat of the Senator
Wheelers in Washington was an
Important factor in the defeat of
the Senator WheeIers df YugosIa-
via, and that the passage OF the
Lease-Lend Bill was one of the
turning points of the war. The en-
cOuragement that our government
could give Hitler's enemies abroad
stiffened their morale. Now people
are going to fight Hitler to pro-
tect their own fEeedom-also ours.
The vital Importance to Hitler
of the part played by the appeas-
ers is now becoming apparent.
Country after country surrendered
to Hitler without a fight. History
will keep HitIer's picture in
prominent place, but GoebbePs,
GOering, Himmler. and others will
recede, and their places around
Hitler will be taken by Chamber
lain, Laval, Qlisling, Lindbergh,
and Wheeler.
How different this war would
have been If our isolationists had
been incarcerated in mental insti-
buttons two years ago. The small
of Europe gave in one at
a time because they felt that they
were alone. The Lindbelghs and !
Herbert Hoovers of the U. s. A.
made so much noise that foreign
opinion regarded them as the voice
Of America. They have now been
repudiated, in time TO influence /
If only Wheeler and
his allies had shut UP in time to
save Bulgaria. Or even better,
suppose the u. S. A. had been real
site before Italy jumped in on Hit (
er's sfdei Think Of the hundreds
,f thousands dead or wounded or
suffering that would have been
Iaved They are a sacrifice to our
lppeasers. And Herbert Hoover
about wanting to help
humanity
Now is the time for the u. IS. A.
o take "a. firm stand. Tell Japan
ilainly that she is going no farther
n Southeastern Asia; that will be
ii that is necessary. Use the Am
rican Navy to convoy ships to the
british Isles; then watch German
norale weaken. Declare an emer-
'ency in this country and outlaw
II interference with production of
var supplies. Serve notice on all
ppeasers, 'pacifists, and German
that those who help Hit
sr will be put in concentration
amps. Make a drive to end the
'ar this year and Hitler's head
che will grow worse.
