Il is Il Am an American Day"
1t will be observed throughout
the Union.
1t is dedicated to those who
have come Of voting age, to
those who have just been nat
uralized and to all native-born
Americans.
AT no time in our history has
il been greater privilege TO
say:
81 am an American"
You must feel a thrill at re-
peating that sentence today
such as you never felt, for TO
be an American now is to be
free. TO be a sovereign individ-
ual, in world sunken in
slavery.
But why are we thrilled and
exalted in this time as we have
never been before, at being an
American?
Here are the reasons. which
were printed some weeks ago
in I'm the News columns of
the Hearst papers and which are
printed here on the eve of to-
morrows significant celebra-
tons.
l suggest that each reader of
this column repeat 10 himself
tomorrow these words:

L 1 believe the United States
TO be the greatest successful eX-
pertinent in human liberty ever
undertaken in all history.
81 am an American because

Vital Links in Defense

THE projected inter-American highway linking the
United States and the Panama Canal Zone, for which
President Roosevelt seeks appropriation in Con-
gress of course essential hemisphere defense rs the
President says.
1t would constitute supply and communications line
to the vital canal which, under conditions would make
the entire North continent easily deendable and
probably impregnable against invasion.
AS the European conflict has demonstrated, highway
facilities for the of the equipment of mechan
lied warfare are important the machines themselves
1t therefore almost automatic that the United
States should beable to keep moving wall of fighting
machines aeng every the continent conceivable
massng of foreign power could get maintain foothod
EFT such a super-hghway be constructed by all means
l. and with all speed, if for other reason than as
Secretary of State Hull has said would be of real
value from the standpoint of the defense of the Caribbean
area"
for this useful highway which it contemplated will
ultimately extend the full 10000 miles between the
United States and Argentina
The economic of the highway would be meal
culable in time of peace.
And let us not overlook ultimate needs in peace.
Congress should certainly comply with the Presl-
dents reasonable and moderate request for appropra-
of 20 million dollars for this constructive and COM
mendable purpose
A T THE same time Congress and the President we'll
Il should reexamine their attitudes toward the equally
vital inter-eeean waterway Nicaragua.
Should not the United States avail itself OF ALL pos
sble lfeines?
Why do content ourselves with half measures for
the defense of this American neghborhood which is
important and which is wholly dependent upon
for protection?
Why do commit the errors of too little and
too late" in providing for national and hemisphere
safety that have made conquests of European nations
possible?
Why do we not utilize EVERY natural and provi-
dental advantage for safety instead of just few of
them, and those few partially and inadequately?
LII authorities recognize the vulnerabilty of the
- Panama Canal
Under the precise conditions which exist at this
moment with the bulk of the American Navy in the far
Pacific quick enemy thrust from the air easily con-
trved of sabotage could trap fleets in ocean
The proposed Nicaraguan Canal would be supple
mentary lifeline upon which the United States might very
well depend in for the difference between defeat and
victory.
Let us not be concerned with events abroad that
neglect own important affairs.
Let us link the Americas with magnificent highway
the President well advises
Let us have networks of air lines throughout the
Americas, is present sound purpose.
And let also have two avenues Of safe passage
between the great which border continent
If we do all of these wise things, American neigh
borhood will be safe in
And when free to pursue peaceful way
again. as earnest desire, these agencies
of protection will give impetus to commerce and be the
foundation of hitherto unattanable prosperity.

TO THE EDITOR

TO THE EDITOR:
AS ONE who has been study
ing and advocating arbltra-
ton and mediation many years,
who has frequently acted as an
arbitrator in commercial and in
duStrial disputes, and as "a re-
cent member OF The Michigan
Labor Mediation Board, | should
like to make this comment upon
your editorial urging compul-
sorry arbitration
No one believes in arbitration
more than l do. yet my long
experience wi h pc c fu |
methods of settling controver-
sizes convinCeS me that the par
ties need education before COM
pulSion; that when those con-
cerned have been educated 10
the advantages and possibilities
of arbitration, compulsion will
not be necessary; that compul-
sion before education means an
tagoniSm: that until the public
knows what arbitration is all
about it should be utilized only
as last resort.
| do moi entirely agree with
those who contend that the only
neutral mantle man who is
absolutely impartial - is the
dead man. 1t was my privilege
TO act as an arbitrator on nu-
merous occasions in connection
with commercial disputes and.
more recently. upon the APP
pointment Of the employers and
the unions. to decide such ques-
tons as wages, cause of dis
charge. etc.
! verify believe that once the
parties understand arbitration
and the great good which it can
achieve. and qualified and i'm
partial men are available for ar
bitration service, as they are.
arbitration Will be used more
and more extensively.
That arbitration is an ad-
vanced and effective method is
evidenced by the record of the
railroads, the printing and the
garment industries where me-
dlation a n d arbitration las
last resort have averted strikes
many years.
