If The Nazis Win

Wendell L. Willkie, in a hearing
before the senate foreign relations
committee, said he would guess that
if Britain collapsed, the United
States would be in the war within
30 to go days.
1t is argued by some that if Ger
many wins, that country will be so
exhausted by war that it would be in
no position to attack any more coun-
tries at present. Also that it would
take months or perhaps years to
prepare for an attack4on America.
The whole thing depends largely
on whether Germany, if it wins the
war, will get possession Of the
British naval fleet. The British gov
ernment has promised that under no
conditions would that fleet be sur
rendered. Before France surrender
ed to the Nazis, it was thought that
the French would never give up their
alliance with Britain. When the
collapse came, their fleet was kept
in French harbors, and the Germans
stand a fair chance of getting it. A
new British government might come
into power which would not feel
bound by the promises of the pres
ent rulers.
If the Germans get the British
fleet, they will probably have the
French and Italian warships also.
The Japanese government is allied
with them. Altogether this COM
bination would control the strong
est naval force in the world. The
Japanese might attack this country
or its possessions, leaving the At
lantic coast open to a combined Nazi
attack.
II the Germans win, they are not
going to be satisfied with their con-
quests in Europe. They will want all
Africa made subservient to them,
and in all probability will reach out
to South America. Wherefore Uncle
Sam has to keep his eyes peeled, and
his shooting irons up to date and
well loaded. Anything in reason that
he can do to help the British keep
their country and their ships makes
the United States safer.
Milford chronicle., 1941-02-21
The Price Rise Danger

One of the dangers confronting
our country is that there viii be a
great rise in prices and the cost or
living. Wars usually bring such adj
vances, and they make plenty of
trouble. Such increased costs pro-
duced excessive speculation back in
1920, and had something to do with
the financial crash that broke the
country's back in 1929.
One encouraging indication is that
the cost of food will not probably
rise in any such proportions as in
1920. Prices for May wheat CON
tracts, for instance, were the lowest
few days ago that they have been
since last September. The price of
food went way up in the air in the
World war, because of the necessity
Of feeding a great army in Europe
and in the camps, also feeding our
allies in the war. No comparable
necessity now exists, If the prices
Of food can be kept reasonable, the
chances of big industrial slump
following the war will be reduced.

Washington, Nation Builder

In honoring George Washington
on the anniversary of his birthday
people often think of him as simply
great military genius. He was far
more than that. When the Revolu-
tionary war ended with the triumph
Of his army, the United States was
still very frail little country. A
good strong offensive would prob
ably have swept away its govern
ment.
When Washington retired as pres
fdent in 1897. the country was es-
tablished on a firm foundation, and
was making rapid progress. This
gain was largely due to the wisdom
of the trainers of the constitution.
When they attempted to form new
system of government, they found
the 1S original colonies were a group
of loosely federated states, each so
independent that the country could
hardly be called nation. The
trainers of the constitution welded
it into strong combination, in
which it could make itself respected
in the world.
Washington's influence as presi-
dent was an enormous factor in Gre
ating this stronger position. The
United States could hardly have
gained independence if it had not
been for the military and naval help
it got from France. The French
had no particular love for America,
but they were hostile to England.
They felt that by helping America,
they hurt England. Many Ameri-
cans feared that as result, France
would become the real ruler over
our country, and be no better ruler
than England had been.
The intelligent Judgment of Wash
ington steered the country through
those dangerous situations. His lib
eral mind drew adherents from all
points of view. He framed such wise
and just policies as to unity the ma
ton. and promote its prosperity. He
found group of more or less hos
tile states, and when his service
ended, it was a real nation, marching
steadily along the high road of pro-
gress.
Milford chronicle., 1941-02-21
The Power of Money

Money is valuable not for itself,
but because of the power it exerts,
the results it can produce. Every
one who earns or receives any
money gets power with that money.
He can spend it in a way which
benefits himself alone. He can also
spend it in way that benefits him
self equally or more and at the
same time benefits his home town.
AS whatever benefits the home town
benefits all the people who live
there, he gets an added advantage if
he spends his money in that way.
That method of benefiting oneself
and the home town at the same time,
is chosen when the money is spent
at home. In that way the purchaser
gets just as good merchandise, and
usually goods better adapted to his
needs. He also helps build up the
home town, from which he receives
an added advantage.
Milford chronicle., 1941-02-21
Keeping Up With Procession

1t has been said that you might
as well be out of the world as out Of
style. That is an exaggerated state
ment, because many people who do
not keep up with styles and fashions
are active in the world and accom-
plish many useful things. Yet there
is considerable truth in that idea.
People like to conform to the gen.
eral styles and customs of the time,
so far as they are reasonably able to
do so.
Also it is necessary for towns to
keep up with the general develop
ments of the times in cities about
like theirs. If progressive cities are
having certain subject taught in
their schools. community that did
not provide for this form of educa-
tion would probably suffer. Amer
ican cities and towns are marching
in a procession toward progress and
better advantages. Towns should
try to keep up with the procession,
so far as their size and resources
permit.

New Sea Hornets

A few months ago the Germans
thought they were going to conquer
Europe blythe use of great fleets Of
submarines which they were said to
be turning out at the rate of one a
day. They were going to so choke
off the supplies of food and muni-
tions from Britain, that that island
country would hold up its hands and
yell Enough.
Now new style of boat is being
developed, called the corvette, t,
built specially for submarine fight
ing. Hopes are expressed that
Britain will before long possess 200
or 800 of these little fighters, which
will make the exploits of the sub
marine less easy. A submarine sur
rounded by nest of these corvettes
will perhaps come out about like the
boy who throws a rock into the hor-
nets nest.

Education Our Defense

Educators are the first line of de-
fense in the struggle against dicta-
tors, said a representative of the
American Federation of Labor to
the Massachusetts Schoolmasters
club a few days ago.
The world is seeing a struggle
between dictators and democratic
governments. If democracy fails to
produce the same welfare that dicta-
tors bring about, it cannot last. The
strong point of democracy is that it
produces men and women of more
initiative and brain power. 1t is up
to the schools of America to teach
children to think and to act. They
can learn to think by reading the
newspapers and books, and they
learn to act BY giving them practical
work in which they have to use their
own resources and mental power.
Milford chronicle., 1941-02-21

is one little thing the men can do
alone, she favored letting them do it.
According to the wives, the men
need an awful lot of help before they
get their needs attended to. It be-
comes necessary to hunt up the
mems clothes in the places the men
put them, also the men can't usually
do the simplest thing in the cooking
line without help, and so on. If the
men took hold more frequently to
help their wives about the house,
the tools and the processes Of home
would not seem so mysterious. The
men might leave off settling the
problems of the nation, and follow
ing the doings of sport, long enough
to learn how to boil an egg and
make the coffee.

MiIford, Friday, February q, I0li


FURTHER INFORMATION on the
delay in sending city check to the
Kings Daughters of Milford, about
which we spoke IN last weeks issue
Of the Chronicle, was given us on
Tuesday evening by the Secretary
and Treasurer. He explained, at our
request, the method of procedure
followed in paying bills authorized
paid by Council. This procedure
briefly is as follows: First the bill
is presented to Council for payment.
After payment is authorized it is
sent to Committee of three Coun-
cilmen who approve the bill. Follow
ing the approval of the Committee
an order for payment is drawn.
This order is sent to the Treasurer
who Issues the check.
The Secretary and Treasurer
states that in the case of the Kings
Daughters in the past this procedure
has not been followed in its entire-
ty. The funds authorized for the
Kings Daughters have not been sent
to the Council Committee for APP
proval. He says that following ap-
proval Of such donations to the
Kings Daughters in the past, the
money has been held until the Kings
Daughters make application direct
at the City office for the money APP
propriated to them, at which time
an order for payment is sent to him
and check in payment therefor is
drawn.
In the particular instance in which
the delay in payment of the amount
appropriated was made the Treasur-
ef says that check in payment was
made out by him shortly after an
order for payment was received ty
him. He further says that he does
not know the cause Of delay. We
have no reason to question his state
ment, which we accept as a fact.
with this statement on his part
and his elimination from the cause
for delay, the responsibility rests on
someone Certainly some person
with authority to draw the order on
the Treasurer has failed in his duty
II the Kings Daughters were not
notified that the donation had been
authorized, certainly the method OF
procedure needs overhauling. Most
assuredly some one person should be
instructed to give such notice so that
application could be made for the
funds available. The citizens Of Mil
ford have a right to know who de-
layed the payment of this needed
money to the Kings Daughters-and
why. Let's bring this out in the
open. Why the delay?
Milford chronicle., 1941-02-21
No American Army abroad

Winston Churchill, premier of
Britain, said in his recent address
that England does not need an
American army, this year, next year,
or any that he can foresee. What
Britain needs is merely an enormous
supply of war materials and techni-
cal apparatus.
This statement should assure peo-
pie who have been worrying for fear
their boys would be sent to Europe
in a new American expeditionary
force, similar to that which helped
turn Europe upside down in 1918
It does not seem likely that great
force of American soldiers will ever
be sent across the ocean again.
If the United States got into war
with Japan, it might be sent to the
Philippine islands to protect that
possession. Our people hope the
Philippines will be able to maintain
their own independence when they
are set free.
The art of making war has seen
revolutionary changes since 1918. At
that time, war was mostly conducted
between lines of trenches, behind
which great armies hid, and attacked
the foe as best they could from that
protection. Today vast armies of
airplanes, great armored tanks and
powerful warships have become the
principal means of war.
There seems no likelihood that
England or any nation of Europe
will need or want a great army Of
men to free themselves from their
conquerors. If they can be freed at
all, it will be by the possession of a
vast system of war machines. Such
equipment can be turned out in Am
erican factories, if people see fit to
do so, without sending men across
the seas.
The results of sending great
army overseas in 1918 were not so
good. 1t helped our allies win the
war, but they did not make a good
use of their victory. This time the
idea will be to keep our men at
home. but to be generous with aid to
those who will use it to preserve
freedom and dmeocracy.

washington's Birthday

The American people enjoy q
greater prosperity, a greater secur-
ity against war, and more oppor-
tunity in life than any foreign coun-
try ever possessed. While these
blessings are due mainly to the
courage and industry of our people,
they are due in part to the magnifi-
cent work of the leaders of the peo-
pie. without such leaders, nation
stumbles in the dark, and many go
off on some wrong road.
Many Of us will say that the man
of, all these leaders was the one
whose birthday we all celebrate on
Feb. %. without George Washing
ton. it seems unlikely that this
country would have achieved inde-
pendence for many years, even if it
ever gained it.
It could not have made those rapid
gains that came with sudden burst
of expansion when it obtained its
freedom. If it had finally obtained
a population greater than that Of
Britain, independence would prob
ably have come, either by war or
peaceful settlement Perhaps our
country would have been given prac-I
tical independence about like what
Canada now has, only with the re-
tention of tie to the English gov
ernment.
George Washington's genius made
the Revolutionary war a success. His
military skill, and his magnetic pow
er over his soldiers, kept the little
Revolutionary army going. 1t was a
pathetic little army Of only few
thousand men, judged by modern
standards, poorly clothed, poorly fed,
poorly shod, and many of its soldiers
kept going home when they got
tired or discouraged. But Washing
tons genius kept it going.
So whatever blessings came from
the freedom Of our country, resulted
largely from his power and leader
ship, and we should be grateful to
him and never forget the Father of
His Country.
