PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
INTERNATIONAL SECURITY
SHOULD BE OUR AIM

Editor. The Times: Lately
there have been endless argu-
ments. Should We Go to War,
or Not" Brother, there's no
question about it-we're IN the
war, right now. like the worm
in an apple. Everyone knows
wars are wrong. We would all
like to see them abolished COM
pletely. In the Book of Revela-
tons. and constantly through
out the Bible. the word is writ
ten only those who overcome
evil will inherit the kingdom of
heaven, but here's the problem
how are we going TO do it,
Let's call the worm war. Let
us say the apple is the world.
AS long as the worm is in the
apple. the apple is theoretically
useless.
Continuous or periodic wars
are not the solution. In some
way we must find out exactly
how To stop all wars, and then,
how to maintain peace. That
is the problem facing our presi-
dent, and US today. The minute
that solution is found we will
be assured Of continuous peace.
So many of us rightfully be-
lieve the League of Nations was
the first stumbling step in the
right direction. Because IT
failed. we should not be dis
couraged. We must try. try
again. until a workable plan is
put into effect.
I firmly believe that II every
one Of us began group discus
sions about how TO improve the
League of Nations original plan,
If we kept these discussions con-
stantly in the foreground. we
would set the ball TO rolling
toward an ultimate victory.
Some one. somewhere. will have
the perfect solution which must
be brought into the open.
Certainly we haze all heard

Eyes Straight Ahead

The people of the United States have their fixed
objective-the death of Naz Germany, when mas
repeatedly proved that in victory IT would be desperate
menace to everything We hold dear.
People will shout at either side now. On one hand
will the cry, Turn to the lef-glve your
energies aiding the Soviet Union, that great ctade oil
democracy"
To this America will answer, "BoshT and keep its
eyes straight ahead.
On the other hand will arise the cry Turn your TO
the rght!-let up those things which help to de-
feat Hitler after all he fights the Great Red Menace
To this America will answer, "Bosh!" and keep It's
eyes straight ahead.
Straight ahead lies the first order of business 1t is
to supply to Britain the of the aid the support
Of every kind that will bring victory the and the
system which plunged the world more into the fiery
furnace of war.
Nothing else matters right now The president promises
such aid to the fighting Russians can be given without
hnderng pledges already made to Britain not because ne
thinks any of the Stain dictatorship today than he
thought three weeks but simply because that helps the
n given will not be basis of helping Russia but OF
helping to beat Hitler.
Communists in the United States not one whit
trustworthy not whit devoted to democracy or
to American institutions than they ever were Their
policies now always will be determined by what they
are told is best for the Stalinst regime in Russia.
Russia itself fights today, not to destroy Nazsm be-
that system is repugnant to it. After ALL Russia
had no violent objection to Nazsm three weeks ago.
Russia fights simply to its skin.
1t happens that that fight is serviceabe in what we
asothe downfall of Nazism So that fight Will be
supported for that reason, and to that extent.
II is along that line that the United States should con-

The RedWtng Was Originally
built as a mine-layer She's lss
feet long and has the low. bluff
lines o. deepsea tug.
IN addition 10 her reciprocal
ing steam engines a. 1900 horse
power. the Redwing's two rakish
masts lend a dash Of swagger
inasmuch as they are still rig
ged to carry stormsails
Besides her fine record as a
rescue ship. having saved count
less lives and vessels which have
met disaster on the coast Of
Washington and oregon. the
Redwing has carried scientific
expeditions 10 Arctic waters and
also participated in the annual
seal patrol and equally import
ant duties in the Boring Sea.
Coincidental to the Redwing's
career hereabouts. during recent
years Of which she has been
under the direction Of Capt.
w. II. Munter as commander Of
the northwest's coast guard dis
triet, the vessel was his flag
ship when he commanded the
New London Comm patrol
area.
He recalls that it was in the
early 1920s that the Reduing
captured the Homestead. which
was an ocesn-going ship that
had previously been the navy
supply vessel Lebanon. and was
at that time operated as rum
runner.
The Homestead, her owner,
crew and cargo Of 10000 cases
Of liquor were captured after a
terrific running battle with the
Redwing; the "rummy" was vir-
tually honeycombed by gunfire
and Capt. Munter recounts the
story of how a Homestead sea-
man steered his ship while lying
on the wheelhouse deck after
the top half of the wheel was
blown away by a shell. The
good old daysD
Now the Redwing is en- route
to the New York district, and
when she arrives there will be
assigned to new duty - quite

CAUTION
New York's legislature recent
ly passed a law prohibiting the
operation of any motorboat with
an engine Of 10 horsepower or
more, or operation of any motor
boat at more than five miles
per hour, on any of the states
inland waterways by a boy or
girl less than 16 years old.
The law became effective July
land thereupon caused consid-
cradle hue and cry.
Point is, nobody paid much
attention to the proposition
when 1t was before the legisla-
ture. When II went into effect
the citizenry discovered too late

We mention it now just
against the off chance something
of the sort might turn up here

Dear Mr.. Hearst;
4 s A regular reader of TN THE
"A NEWS" I was much inter-
csted to learn you had gone to
Mexico, and have enjoyed the
alphabetically written articles
fhich have 20 far appeared.
You probably already know how
isgrsccfuliy many Of our Ameri-
can tourists behave when they
cross the border; how superior"
and contemptuous they often are
and how outrageously rude and
crude In q land famous for Its
courtesy; how they often shock
the modest and formal Mexican
by wearing shorts and Stacks on
the streets and other public
places; how In numerous ways
they are guilty Of bad taste, and
how they offend q sensitive peO-
pie, and create q bad Impression
of Americans In general.
You have perhaps the largest
audience i'm the world through
your many papers, and the pur-
pose this letter Is TO suggest, In
the interest Of goodwill, that one
or more strong articles on the be-
havior OF this type Of American
tourist In Mexico might have n
salutary effect, and cause them to
realize that this Is n very IN
American attitude, and that their
conduct reflects unfavorabiy on
their country and people, and hin
ders the development Of friend
ship, understanding and Deighbor-
illness which our President Is en-
deavoring to promote In the West
ern Hemisphere.
VIII look forward TO your arti-
cles on Mexico.
A very happy. interesting and
delightful trip to that fascinating
land.

WASHINGTON. March Is. -
While President Roosevelt put nm
ishing touches on the worldwide
radio broadcast he will make to-
night, the government today
moved to meet pressing British
war needs by allocating UP to
81 300. OOO, 900 in American defense
materials on hand and on order
to England.
Mr.. Roosevelt was scheduled to
speak on the lease-lend program
over the three major radio hook
ups at $50 p. m. z. S. T. His
address will be rebroadcast by
short wave radio in six languages.
The speech was expected to
have a dual theme. First, IL was
believed, he will tell the people
of this nation that they must be
ready to make sacrifices in the
defense program. Further, he was
expected to stress the pledge Of
the United States to help nations
resisting the Axis powers.
PRODUCTION SLOW
William S. Knudsen. defense
production chief, informed the
House appropriations sub-commit-
tee considering the $1,000. 000. 900
lease-lend fund that it would be
months before the production pro-
gram can reach its height.
In presenting this picture he
indicated that the problem Of pro-
duction has not, been fully solved.
"The matter will have to bo
handled now the other way
through ALLEGATIONS" he OBJ
served.
Under the lease-lend act, the
President can transfer up to
81 800, 000, 900 of defense materials
produced under appropriations
made before the act was passed.
Since it will be months before
orders from these previous appro-
priations are filled, the very latest
weapons now being produced can
be sent to foreign nations, officials
explained.
AID NEWS KEPT SECRET
The rush for congressional en-
actment of the $1,000, 000, 900 fund
continued, however, with the APP
preparations subcommittee plan
ming to approve the fund later
! today.
The ban of secrecy was imposed
upon official news of aid being dis
patched to the British. Secretary
of War Stimson, in saying that
substantial aid is on the way, de-
clined to reveal the nature Of IL.
Likewise. the House sub-commit-
tee decided to strike detailed in
formation of British aid plans
from its records.
Meanwhile the House swiftly
passed and sent to the Senate a
record peacetime two-ocean navy
bill providing $3.446, $50. IA to OPP
crate the navy during the next
fiscal year. This money will 60
tow ard financing construction
work on 729 warships. the building

sion of Pacific naval bases.
