children's children will never see an
end to paying?
1t is time that President Roosevelt
and other leaders of America con-
slider security for America and
America alone. America can neve
be secure as long as she sends all
her to England. America
cannot police the continent of Europe
and demand freedom for its people.
1t is true Britain is our first line
Of defense. 1t is to u distinct ad-
vantage to give her enough aid that
she can keep on fighting for her
life. As long as England is keep
ing Hitler busy we have time to pre-
pare for our own self-defense in the
U. S. But we will never be pre-
pared to defend ourselves with every
thing going to Britain.
We might have gone on indefinitely
sending munitions to England and
quietly aiding her to the best of our
ability. But when the President made
such a war-like speech a new light
was thrown on aid to Britain. How
the Axis powers will react to that
speech and what they will attempt to
do cannot be seen at this time.
They would be more simple than
fools if they do not attempt some
thing to stop our aiding England.
They might go so far as to try to
start an involvement between Am
erica and Japan to keep us busy.
The situation confronting the U. S.
is grave. 1t is more grave than
it was Sunday night before the Pre-
sident spoke.
Our security lies only in being
able to protect ourselves. There IS
no other nation in the world who
would become our ally should we
be involved in a war of ~self-protec-
ton.
This protection can be achieved
only if we consider America and her
interests first. We do not serve
Americas interest first when we let
ourselves become involved in war
with any other nation.
The time has long since arrived
when talking and speech-making
should be sacrificed to action.
The time is here when Mr.. Roose-
welt should become aware of the
fact that he is president of the whole
United States of America and he is
not sitting in the presidential chair

Low Regarding
Trustee Election
Is Changed

The law with reference to the
election of trustees in rural separate
school districts and consolidated dis
tricts with five trustees was changed
by the legislature this year. Under
the new law, no appointments or cleo
tions are to be held until the first
Saturday in March except in munich
pal separate school districts where
the appointments will be made on
the first of January as has been done
heretofore.
In the rural separate school dis
tricts and consolidated districts with
five trustees, people may continue
under the petition and appointive
method, or by a petition signed by a
majority of the qualified electors to
the county school board not less
than three weeks prior to the first
Saturday in March, they may adopt
the elective method.
Complete instructions with re-
ference to holding these elections
wiz be sent to the county superin-
tendents within the next few DAYS.
We are requesting that they supply
this information to the trustees of
all the schools of their county.

"The national defense program and the unusual
strain imposed on our economy by a changing world
have created a greater need for efficient distribu-
ton than in any previous era. All distributors are
faced with a two-fold responsibility: To prevent re-
petition of the inflationary price trend of the World
war, and to move merchandise with a minimum of
costs.
"We know that new battleships, airplanes and
guns must be paid for, somehow, by all of US. Every
economy that distributors can effect in their own
operations will be contributing to the defense pro-
gram by helping to increase the purchasing power of
the dollars that consumers have to spend for food.
clothing and other necessities. The farmer, on the
other hand, deprived of his normal export market
by the European war, will need increased domestic
distribution of his products 49,.
'The industry is intensfying its conduct of

increase, during specified periods, distribution Of

which chains are undertaking in order to reduce re-

in mind that part of this rise is artificial, since pro-
duction for defense adds nothing to our standard
of living An economy devoted to that sort of
production is not sef-supporting. There is sure to
come a time when the bill must be paid. No one
can escape There are two detectives to be kept
in mind in 194l-the aggressive prosecution of the

White Against War

William Allen White, chairman of the
committee to Defend America by Aiding the
Allies, which has been frequently accused OF
fomenting the war spirit, has issued a state
ment in which he forthrightly declares that
his sole purpose in being a member OF the
group was to keep this country out of the war.
In response to an inquiry from Roy w.
Howard, editor of the New York World
Telegram, Mr.. White declared that any or
ganization that is for war is certainly play
ing Hitler's game"
He opposes repeal of the Johnson act or
of that provision of the neutrality law for
bidding entrance of American ships carrying
contraband into the var zones.
He also avowed that the proposal for
conveying British or American ships was "a
silly thing" because conveys are confetti
unless they shoot and sits not time to shoot
now or ever"
Mr.. White declared he never had heard
war as an alternative objective seriously
discussed by any official group of our or
ganization at any time"
The Age-Herald, as it has declared on
previous occasions, has never regarded the
White Committee as dominated by a desire
to lead.this country into the war. There have
been some Americans f~avoring a war de-
c~laration who have given support to the
White Committee, but Mr.. White himself
and many of his associates undoubtedly, in
our opinion, have felt sincerely that the
course they have SO ardently and ably urged
is the wisest that could be followed in seek
ing to keep us out of the actual fighting.
Whether that reasoning is wholly sound
remains to be seen. Perhaps we will never
know the full answer. Even if we move step
by step until we are involved in the war &C.
lively, it still might not be evident that any
other course would have provided greater
security.
Mr.. White himself, of course, would not
contend that there are no risks in his COM
mittee's program, but he does argue that the
risks in it's are less than those of failing to
give non-combatant support to Britain.
Because there are dangers in this course
which the White Committee has SO actively
advocated, some have called the Emporia
editor a promoter of the war spirit. But it is
common for people sometimes so to disagree
with the views and methods of a man that
they challenge and denounce his motives,
too. Lindbergh, working from another an
gle to keep the nation out of war, has been
the victim of the same tendency inconsider-
able measure.

bounds of his office and authority.
President Roosevelt has called upon
the people of the U. S. to view 'the
new crisis-1his new threat to the
security of our nation-with the same
courage and realism" they showed
in the face Of the banking crisis
eight years ago.
The people Of the United States
should do just that-view the pre-
courage.
Eight years ago the people
who had lost all their life-savings
in banks over the country drew
little consolation from a message
from the President of the United
States. His words then didn't help
any. They did not need him to tell
them all their life-savings were gone.
They realized their loss only too
well. The thing to be remembered
from that crisis was that we learned
a lesson. Today our banks are safe
with rigid government supervision.
Twenty-Five years ago this country
was involved in a world war which
We fought for nc other purpose than
to make the democratic way of gov
eminent and life possible. We fought
a war to end wars. We gained no

democracy.
The first world war was a complete
failure. There is no democracy any
where except in the United States.
If or when we become involved in a
war there will be no personal free
dom or democracy in the United
States.
So let Us face the question Of aid
to Britain realistically with common
sense and reasoning. Let us not be-
come panicky and lose our heads as
some of our leaders seem to have
done.

War a harvest of dead men, broken

he'd just been" What's that got to do with busl-

named after him, and along with everyone else, our
business and industrial leaders about this time OF

forward, to review and preview the business scenes.
SO
IT'S NO SECRET that industrial activity in the
u. S. scared to the highest levels in all history during
1910, stimulated by the governments gigantic de-
tense program and by the huge inflow of British
war orders. The speed-up was most terrific in the
final three months, so far surprising any previous
period that it lifted the average output for the
whole year to 10 per cent above the previous best
year-1929, of course
PROSPECTS for 1871 are even brighter, in
terms Of production gains. The general level o.
predictions by economists is for another 10 per cent

factor looming even more Importantly as the driving
force.
NATIONAL INCOME for 1910, according to
estimates of the Alexander Hamilton Institute, fell
short of the arltime peak of $50, 1856, 000, 600 chalked
up in that same year of 1929. Lower prices partly
accounted for that. But, even so, our 40 income was
right around $4,000, 000, 900 for the second-best
year on record and that's sx-and-a-half billions
higher than for 1889, and SO billions ahead of the
'Dotom depression year OF 1899! NaIiohal income
embraces the total monies that all of Uncle Sans
nieces and nephews gather in during a year-from
wages, salaries, commissions, income from invest

is for another 10 per cent of rise in 1871. If that
comes true well really go ahead of good old 1929 by
about two billions.
