II so 4 ~ - A~-AtN
We must help England win
says our President.
War monger, retorts Hitler.
The President is doing every
thing he can to keep us out OF
war, says one group.
The President is leading us in
to war, says another.
With such division of idea:
and ideals we open a new year
worried and uncertain as &c
what lies before us. We are
troubled, and yet when we read
from day TO day Of the suffering
in England and China, and when
we think of the suffering that
never gets into print, there
comes a deep sense OF thankful
ness because Of our good fortune
thus far.
Truthfully we can wish our
friends Happy New Year. AS
compared with the New Year
dawning in many other countries
il will be exceedingly happy.
Throughout the nation last
midnight bells tolled, whistles
blew. noise makers of every des-
cription we're brought into play
in wild welcome for the year
1871. For a few hours al least
the greater part of the nation
was relaxed and happy. What
lies ahead no one can safely pre-
diet.
We hope for peace and for
prosperity and good health
which altogether make for hap
piness. Thanks to our advance
system of eduSAion and scien-
tific research, we may expect
all possible aids in maintaining
high health standards OF the ma
ton. Economists are predicting
at least three years OF prosperity.
Two counts therefore, OF the
three necessary for happiness
NAV reasonably be anticipated.
The other factor, peace, seems
much more uncertain. We have
the assurance Of our President
that he will do everything pos
sible to avoid war but no one
can deny that there are grave
DAYS ahead.
We have worried during the
past eight years about our finan-
cial future. we have been con-
cerned by the rapid accumula-
ton OF national Indebtedness,
but now as war looms ahead the
question of money seems OF lit
tie relative consequence. When
il comes to sending our young
men into war we are confronted
with a problem OF most extreme
importance. The big question in
1o4l will be how to avert such
catastrophe. Our hope lies Ill the
Judgment Of men representing
us in government and it will be
the duty OF every individual to
give whatever support seems
most advisable for the intelli-
gent guidance Of these officials.
In times OF crisis the United
States OF America has in the
past acquitted itself creditably
and there is no reason to believe
that that same good record will
not be continued. The hope OF
this nation is for peace and with
that hope in mind we believe We
can in all sincerity continue to-
day with the old but always
cheerful greeting Happy New
Year with most profound good
wishes for realization Of those
~ in their fullest sense.
And 50 we say to you Happy
New Year. Good Health and an
Abundance Of Happiness.

 London, March 4. -- (UP)--Great Britain has decided to extend its blockade to Bulgaria and she will be treated as enemy occupied soil 1t was said reliably today.
 It was reported that George w Rcndcl, British minister at Sofia, would inform the Bulgarian gov ernment tomorrow If not earlier of the discontinuance of British-Bul- garian diplomatic relations.
 Britain was expected at the same time to make It's announcement Of the new status of Bulgaria.
 Rendel already has made all travelling arrangements for himself aAd the legation and consular staffs, 1t was understood, but informants added that there was considerable clearing up of affairs to complete. The United States was expected to handle British interests in Bull garia.
 It was said authoritatively in con- nection with the break that rupture of British Bulgarian relations did not necessarily mean declaration of war against Bulgaria.

They said Russas attitude to- ward the German march understandable but added: "But simultaneously it must be understood that Germany in way tolerate any restrictions on measures it deems necessary to take to defeat Britain"

War Department Gets
 Into Labor Disputes
For First Time Dept. Intervenes in Strike-Orders Firm in Dayton, Ohio, to Proceed With Work
 That Has Been Allotted

Washington, March A. (UP) -- The War Department intervened in @ jurisdictional labor dispute for the first time in its history today and ordered the Penner Corp. to proceed with electrical installations at the Air Corps testing center at Wright Field, Dayton, o.
 In q formal statement the Army said that 1t considered its contract with the Penner Corp. of New York City valid. It instructed the com- pany to go ahead with the work despite q new walkout by 400 AFL building trades unionists in protest against the company policy of us- ing CIO labor.
 The labor dispute started Jan. 29 and the second strike since then began yesterday in protest to the War Departments decision to rein- state the Penner Corp. as a con- tractor on the $5,900,000 Air Corps testing expansion project.
 The War Department said that labor dispute Is halting work "es- sential to the expansion" of the Air Corps, and issued the following formal statement:
 "All efforts to compose differences between AFL and Penner Corp. have failed. In view of the fact that Penner Corp. has a binding contract for the performance of this contract and in view Of the urgent necessity for Its immediate accomplishment, the War Depart ment has no alternative but to in- struct the Penner Corp. to resume work"
 Struck January 29th
 The AFL building trades struck January 29 in protest against the Penner Corp, doing work with CIO labor.

 The Russian attitude on the Bull garian developments contrasted with the opinions expressed by the Soviet press when Germany moved into Norway and Denmark. At that time the government papers, Prada and Izvestia, editorialized that the move was guided by "war's own logic" and noted that Britain and France prev iously had attempted to make Scan- dinavia a war base" for use against Germany.
 Obviously, observers noted, 1t can- not be argued now that Germany was compelled to enter Bulgaria be- cause of any allied threat there.

 Their salaries would be completely paid by the state and entire system would go under state direction.
 The plan calls for creation of @ state administrative board of five members, serving five years with out pay. It would directly supervise the probote and juvenile court sys- tenn.
