extremely unusual for any Cab

on national and international
policies unless the speech is first

three Cabinet members made such

which may be expected. Each

last week, it did develop that the

other units of the battletieet that
had been patruliing the three

And let keep bright and undefled
The young years Of the little child.
John Masefeld.
America was founded by earnest men
and women who wanted freedom to
bring up their families according to the
light which was given them--to afford
their children better opportunities to
grow III strength and wisdom. The prin-
ciple OF true democracy is expressive Of
this idea-the growth Of the family, the
collection Of families into one state. with
the good Of the majority the will Of the
state Religion throughout the ages has
emphasized the family as unit in its
striving toward spiritual aspirations. The
basis Of virtually all religions is the faith
erhood OF God and the brotherhood OF
man.
The solution Of the problems Of the
world today will be the task of the chill
dren who are the men and women OF to-
morrow. The only real aid that can be
given them for their tremendous task is
the finest type of education and instruc-
tion that is available.
1t has been said that the advantage OF
the American school system is the habits
it has inculcated in the children---the
teaching of children from all sorts OF
homes that when they enter the class
room they are on basis Of equality with
every other child in the room-Protes-
tant, Catholic or Jew, Negro, White or
Mongolian-that there the only super
iority is superiority OF brains. of concen
tration, of willingness to work. They
have to learn to get along with other
children-which is the best training for
getting along with people when they go
out into the world. As in life, if they
can't keep up--no matter what the rea-
son--they drop back, into another class.
Rain or shine they are expected to be at
school in their appointed places at their
appointed time. They learn that there
are certain things that one can't get out
of-and they learn that alibis do not
count.
Hate and prejudice are the habits of
adults-they must not become a habit
with children If hatred Of any group
or class is traced back to its source it will
prove to be an alibi-for some lack or
neglect or laziness A child who has
learned to suffer, though it may lose
and courage, may be
brought out of its fog-but a child who
Hatred is an acid, corrosive, penetrating
leaving great scars which never again
will be normal.
The great tragedy of the prosecutions
is not SO much what those who
have been physically hurt by them have
endured, great as their sufferings may
have been. but what the prosecutions
have done to the prosecutors. How can
to calumny from their earliest days ever
children trained to hatred, to betrayal
become honorable men and women, or
citizens of any decent world? The utter
damning Of the children OF the totalitar-
ian states is not only the greatest tragedy
Of today but the greatest menace to the
world of tomorrow.

Defense Expected TO Bring
Auto improvements

CHICAGO, Sept 12.-Participa-
ton Of the automobile industry IN
the national defense program will
lead to greatly improved automo-
bileS in the future, George w
Mason, president of the Nash-Kelvi-
mater Corp, said today.
Development of new materials
new construction principles and
ccr struction improvements probably
will begin Immediately in the auto
mobile industry as a result of its
vast amount of work in manutac-
turing aircraft, airplane motors and
armament in general, he said.
Mason was here for a press pre-
view of the 1912 Nash motor cars
and a convention of $500 Nash
statesmen and distributors from
throughout the Nation.
NaSh-Kelvinator has Sl00000,00C
in Government defense contracts
he said, and is building precision
equipment for airplane propeller as
semblies and essential parts for
Pratt & Whitney airplane engines.
Mason also said the company was
one of the smaller automobile con-
Germs which succeeded in obtaining
sufficient priorities preference to as
sure maintenance OF production
schedules. A company spokesman
said the prospective output for the
1912 model year was $1,000 units.

today in the wake of the Presidents

Commodities put on another burst
of strength in the forenoon, with
soybean and world sugar futures at

ment was an unsettnng influence at
the last.
Stocks edged forward in the
morning on fair sized volume, but
the usual trimming Of commitments
as a week end precaution eventually
resulted in slipping tendencies here
and there. While fractional gains
were plentiful at the close, small
declines were also well distributed
and numerous issues were un-
changed. Dealings dWindled APP
