A nationwide "Open-House'

invited to visit the CCC camps To-
Gated at Wyoming and Georgetown
to see what life is like for 100000
CCC boys scattered over the Uni
ted States in camp groups OF $50
to 200. s.-
Eight years ago on April s, the
CCC was founded to fake boys Off
street corners and give them a
chance to become healthy citizens
mentally and physically. During
these 8 years, 21s million boys
have had their chance to learn
skill and self-discipline by doing
useful jobs under the expert di-
rection of soil conservationists,
road builders, engineers
aud others. Most of them have also

received special training in the
shop and school room classes
which are held after work hours.
Throughout rural America, CCC
boys have built enough farm ter
races to stretch around the earth
more than five times. They have
planted millions of trees and have
dug thousands of miles of farm
drainage bitches. Among other ac-
complishments, they have doctored
and cured more than three million
Misunderstanding 'guillies.. CCC
crews have also built 5000 good
sized dams and reservoirs, strung
$4,000 miles of telephone lines;
constructed 114,O00 miles of road
and $4,000 bridges. They have built
air fields and steel fire towers.

be, and they certainly won't be able to
protect themselves.
Moreover, no matter what happens
as result of the war, Greenland must
be added to the United States. 1t is
too near us to be the coveted prize Of
any nation with aggressive tendencies.
AS to the possessions we now have, it
is impossible to argue down the fact that
a comparatively small group of airships
might bomb the locks of the Panama
Canal, thereby separating the two vast
boundaries of the United States so far
as seapower is concerned.
Hawaii Vital to U. s.
Then, there are the Hawaiian Islands,
an outpost to be held at any sacrifice
of ships or men. To allow the Hawaiian
Islands to be occupied by any nation
other than the United States would
mean the eventual capture and trans
fer of California and the whole Pacific
Coast down to Mexico. The republic
of the United States cannot endure if
any combination of powers, European
or Asiatic, finds lodgment south of
California anywhere between the Golden
Gate and the Isthmus of Panama.
The President has indicated the i'm
portance of these outposts to us. He
realizes that if the Germans should con-
quer England and occupy it in this
war, the next movement of the Germans
would be to occupy group of the West
Indies Islands and the Isthmus of Pana-
ma, and, presumably, the territory be-
tween the Canal and the Rio Grande,
southern boundary of the United States.
In his insistence that the United
States be the arsenal of democracy In
the war now going on, we have a founda-
ton for military and naval preparation
which will keep the United States out
Of danger.

Russia Versus Germany.
I have said before and I say again
that Russia always will be stumbling
block to Germany's aims. At least
three times, it's been announced that
they're going to be good friends, good
schoolmates eating out of the same
lunch basket, but 1t has not worked out.
Russia always breaks away. She wants
to be captain or she won't play.
Now, as to the world situation after the
war. First of all, the German people
would have to get rid of Hitler; there
could be no permanent peace with this
man who has shown himself to be a
tyrannical despot
It would be useless to attempt any
permanent league Of nations, because
Germany has shown In the past she
cannot accommodate herself to any
genuine league with the nations and
would probably act the same way again.
However, I believe that there might well
be some sort of world congress working
toward a peace based on justice.
U. S. Postwar Role.
But I don't believe the United States
should attempt to play too prominent
a part in any after-war settlement. This
country still will have territories of her
own to guard-and we can't attempt to
remake the map of Europe.

think that Germany can be defeated
by Great Britain in two years at the
most, provided the English can receive
q sufficient and continuous supply of the
materials of war-a responsibility that
rests with the United States.
In fact, I believe that the next four
weeks will constitute the acme, the
crisis, of the war, because it will be
within that period that public opinion
must crystalline on President Roosevelt's s
viewpoint that we must fortify Britain
in order to Offset ultimate invasion Of
this country.
The United States is in no danger of
invasion as long as Britain stands, and
further, I don't believe there is any
likelihood of this country entering the
war as long as she keeps Britain sup
piled with the arms and ships she needs.
Nazis Have No Real Allies.
But do say fatty that If it should
appear that Britain were to be subju-
gated, this country would have to send
an expeditionary force to Europe. I
believe that Germany realizes that, too,
and fears the possibility.
AS to the two years time have set,
I don't believe either of the sides at
war can hold out any longer than that.
Moreover, the odds are decidedly against
the Germans because she has no real
allies.
Italy has proved a failure-in fact, the
amazing thing has been that Germany
has so far not raised real hand to

for his own party IN the
House and Longworth
chief of the opposition,
the two we're boon COM
panions and he often re-
ferred to the Speakers
automobile as "our car"
In his later years as
Vice President, his whole
power rested upon that
tightly bound but wide
circle Of friends he had
made in his years in
Washington.
Often in those days, he
would tell friends:
II wish I had stayed in
the House. I didn't ever
ask any one to be Vice
President. If I had stayed
on as Speaker, 1 would
have been in that place
longer than any Speaker
in history-10 years. The
longest has been six"
But the simple wish to
have held the job longer
than any other man was
not the real reason why
he expressed that thought.
The real answer lay in the
fact that:
THE only power I have
is such as I can WELD

restricted according to his
personality and friends.

Wallace. A few minutes
later he will vanish from
the Washington scene,
dodging the ceremonies
that follow.
Parades, dinners, balls,
all Of these will be left
behind. Those who in
vited him got a polite
note of regrets. Where
President Roosevelt was
involved, Mr.. Garner
talked over the problem
with the Chief Executive
and got excused.
Il don't blame yOu," the
President told him, in ef-
feet, when Mr.. Garner
asked to be allowed to
stay away from the re-
viewing stand past which
the inaugural parade will
march.
Mr.. Garner takes no
bitterness home with him.
He has achieved a phi
losophy of life which
closes the door of his
heart against bitterness.
He puts 1t this way:
Ten or is years ago,
I began to try to free my
self of all hatred and
envy of my fellow men.
I began to try to 60 to
bed at night without a
heart filled with such
things. And I began to
get rid of worries about
tomorrow.
