Bad Roads Don't Stop Trains

AS the editor of the Burns, Kan
sas, News recently pointed out, peo-
pie, have been asking, whats
wrong with the railroadY" for some
time. About everything that has any
thing to do with railroad operation
has been criticized by someone.
However, the editor remarks, the
main trouble is not with the rail
road. "Its with those who think they
support it and don't. Or those who
just don't give a hang.
"In bad weather, there are usu-
ally a number Of commodities miss
ing from shelves of local stores, just
because the truck didn't get through.
So the customers do without, all be-
cause the storekeeper didn't think
to order shipment sent by freight
II should be remembered that bad
roads don't stop the train. 1t comes
through In all kinds Of weather.
These aren't the days of slow
freight, car shortages, etc. Freight
service is in most instances as fast
as express-or even the mail-and
rates are reasonable. A free pickup
and delivery service makes it as
easy to use the freight as any other
means of transportation. The rail
roads have plenty of modern equip
nent ready to place at disposal
whenever there is demand for it. i
"The next time you order a ship

livestock or produce, just stop and

Aviation In National Defense

The holocaust in Europe has prov
ed that modern warfare can no long
er be fought on the lines laid down
by old guard tacticians. Aviation has
forged to the front as the outstand-
ing first line of attack, Aviation, in
the opinion Of the National Aeronau-
tic. Association, should become Am
erica's first line of defense.
To stimulate interest in aviation
as an important part of national de-
fense, a unique ground trainer
which duplicates the manuevers of
an actual plane in flight is being
exhibited at various airports
throughout the South. The trainer,
sponsored by the National Aeronau-
tic Association and loaned by the
Sinclair Refining Company, gives
any air-minded citizen his oppor-
tunity to try his wings.
The public has responded eagerly
and thousands of people have taken
the flying aptitude test in the trainer
to ascertain whether or not they
would make good pilots. For those
who show a marked natural apti-
tude and are interested in becoming
pilots, the necessary information
and advice is given.
. In this way, thousands of people
particularly young men-are first
introduced to the possibilities of
flying and are eager to assimilate
knowledge which would be invalu-
able. in any preparedness program
for national defense.
Plenty of snow this month, but
cannot stand Old Soils rays now. J

Green, head of the State Departments Munitions Con- trol Board, went ahead and urged U. S. munitions dealers not to sell arms to the established gov- ernment of Spain to protect itself against the revolutionary agents of Hitler and Mussolini.
 Also, the State Department career boys did their best to keep the Spanish Ambassador from seeing the President of the United States; so that he was only able to get to the White House through such a roundabout channel as the then Secretary of Agriculture, Henry Wallace. When he did see the Pres ident, Ambassador de los Rios warned him-even as early as 1886 that if the seeds of Fascism were planted in Spain, the mother coun- try, they were sure to sprout in Latin America, warning which the career boys regretfully remem- Der five years later

Prophecy Doesn't Help
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 Too often American public discussion of foreign policy has centered futile attempt to read the future. Those who favored economic aid to England year ago with the belief it would cost nothing were quite wrong. They made the mistake of antic- pating relatively easy British victory American aid, they supposed, was merely matter of running our factories a bit longer and making profits. That was mirage. It from the attempt to prophecy.
 The defeatists making an equally false as- sumption Their case which is pitiful at best, rests on their flat conviction that Germany is going to win, no matter what the United States may do. No man could possibly be wise enough to foresee the final outcome of this struggle And the loudest of the defeatists among the least qualified even to make guess.
 Instead of trying to foresee the end, must face the reality of the present and then try to how much we. do to shape the end to our own advantage. That is proper for the greatest nation in the world.
 Weak countries must stradde the fence and jump when the end is in sight The governments of South America in such position They can not affect the outcome of the war, and they must be prepared to deal with the victor his terms So they are cautious. The United States on the other hand can weld as much real power in the world as any nation. it chooses to exert every bit of energy. We can do much to determine the outcome.
 Our people nearly unanimous-save for one or two percent of NaN apologsts-as to the out come we want. What must do, therefore is to plan our contribution to Britains effort not in terms of any fanciful reading of the future but in terms of our determination to shape the future It is in power.

As long the elusive Chinese Government, retreating inland, refuses to for peace on her terms Japan has to maintain large armies on the terrain she holds, situation which threatens her own internal economy. Moreover she now thinks she richer booty elsewhere and would like to have her forces free to go after it.

MUNITIONS MANEUvERS

When the Spanish revolution first. broke, no law prevented the shipping of munitions to the Span- ish Government. But Secretary Hull's good friend from Tennessee, Representative McReynolds, imme- diately introduced a bill, and all the forces of the United States Government were brought into &C., tion to prevent shipload of mu- nitions from sailing on the Span- ish steamship Mar Cantabrico un- til MT. McReynolds could get his bill through Congress.
 Customs officials pried open packages on the ship at the last minute to delay her. Army off, cers held up the ships departure until 32 cast-off field kitchens had the words "U. s. Army painted out. Then as the vessel sailed out of New York Harbor, the Coast Guard cutter Icarus steamed alongside ready to stop the ship

Thought on Dandelions

Philadelphia Record)
 The garden is golden with dandelions Ones immediate impulse Is to grab for the weeder Dan- delions Rock bottom in flora.
 Skimming through our poetry shelf we find loads of odes to flowers To the rose, the daffodil the peony, primrose and hyacinth. To margolds holly hooks, poppies and orchids. To lilies, panses and even to the humber buttercups and daisies. But none to the dandelion. Forgotten flower.
 Yet gazing the newly green earth, the dan deions have beauty at distance. Curiously they have beauty close up, too Picking them apart, one finds the same magic of construction as in the est of blooms Then one wonders If it were as difficult and costly to grow dandelions it is to grow orchids and acacas would the dandeon be prized, and exhibited, too?
 As it is. they weeds fit only for wine or an inspiration for a gardeners oath.

Navy. The Corning plant, accord- ing to OPM officials, is about to close down unless it can get its shipment.
 Sidney Hillman telegraphed a personal appeal to the striking workmen, supporting the National Defense Mediation Boards request that ten tons of boric acid be shipped to the Corning works. H. s. Emlaw, president of the Potash Company of Trona, Cal, replied that there was ample material on hand but it could not be loaded without permission of the union.
 The union replied to the Nation- al Defense Commission that un- der no circumstances will the uri- ion release any cargo unless the union is fully satisfied that a co1- elusive showing has been made of the need of defense purposes. Should such conclusive showing De made, the union will take under advisement the feasibility of nov ing such items, and will not accept any representations without having verified the evidence rendered, re- gardless of its source"
 According to the Dies Committee. it's investigators have a photostatic copy of the membership book" in the Communist Party belonging to William Galley, the strike leader. They also have copy of his Com- munist record card,'' telling where he is employed, the union he bet iongs to and other data.
 OPM officials consider the Amt erican Potash and Chemical plant vital to national defense because it is the principal producer of i- thium salts, indispensable to the manufacture of submarine storage batteries. This company also is one of two producers of borax and bort ic acid in the entire United States

NEEDLESS, SENSELESS STRIKE

If there is any excuse strong enough to justify the continued strike of 1,200 AFL machinists and 700 CIO workers which has closed II Pacific Coast shipbuildng plants it is certainly not apparent in the basic facts made public. The old agreement under which the machnists worked, which expired on April l. was for $1 an hour for 40-hour week and double time for overtime. A coastwse master agreement signed by the American Federation of Labor and the shipbuilders, with the mediation of the Department of Labor and representatives of the SIP an hour for 4O-hour week, time and a half for overtime on weekdays and double time for Sun days and holidays. When defense production is so vital the counys welfare these conditions would hardly seem too intolerable to work under, while waiting to have any grievances peacefully negotiated But the machinists, claiming that they not properly represented in the master agreement and that other machinists getting better wages any, how, have struck for sl.15 hour for 4O-hour week with double time for overtime.
 The strike has been repudiated by William Green, national president of the AFL, and by John P Frey, president of the federations metal trades division. But its existence serves to emphasize once more a major problem with which have failed to deal courageously realistically.
 The strike directly involves only 1900 men, but these men by their picketing have prevented some 15O00 to 1800O men from working The work of the machnists is of key nature in key de- fense industry It affects the work not only of all the other workers in the shpbuding plants, but of wide circle of workers among of subcontrac tors. And as shipping is the bottleneck of whole ad-to Britain program, long continued tieup would affect our whole defense effort

POTASH STRIKE

A charge of Communist motives behind the strike against the Am erican Potash and Chemical Cor poration at Trona, Cal, was made today by Robert Stripling, secre- tary of the Dies Committee, who declared the committee has ''in- controvertible proof" that William Galley, leader of the three month old strike, is a member of the Com munist Party.
 Despite energetic appeals from Sidney Hillman and the Office of Production Management, the strik- CTS at American Potash and Chem ical refused to load a small ship ment of borax and boric acid badly needed by the Corning Glass works and the Owens Fiberglass plant for defense purposes. sae ,fiff.s5 9F

U.s.A. WAKES UP

Some time later, American pub lie opinion and various branches of the U. s. Government began to realize their mistake. But not the career boys. Not even in 1938-two years later-had they learned their lesson. (This did not apply to Un- der Secretary of State Sumner Welles, who has been opposed to the Spanish Fascists)
 By that time, however, President Roosevelt had. And he indicated to friends of the Spanish Government that even though the now amended neutrality act prohibited the ship nlent of arms to help the Spanish C owe n m t, nevertheless arms could be shipped to France or any ether sovereign state, and that sovereign state had right to send arms wherever she wished, with no questions asked by the United States.
 So the spanish Government, act- ing on this information, sent its representative to Paris. But curi- ous Ambassador Bullitt sent rou- tine cable asking the State De- partment if such transaction was all right. And the career boys, ap- parently double-crossing the White House, cabled peremptory demands that any munitions shipments to France be stopped
 Later, Greece ordered and paid for p Bellanca training ships in- tended for transshipment to Spain. But again MT. Joseph c. Green sent a peremptory cable stopping the shipment.
 Finally, Turkey ordered 50 Grum- man pursuit planes from Canada This time the United States was not directly involved, If Turkey wanted to transfer these planes to spain, presumably it was the busi- ness of Canada, not the United

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline l
 but do not compel" :
TUESDAY, MAY 27

Women are fortunate under this planetary government which is not important in its effect upon men There is promise of progress and success today from the efforts o1 mothers and wives to provide fo1 special comforts for the men who are in training camps. Th C Y.W.C.A. and the Salvation Army should be especially efficient un- der this direction of the stars which seems to promise the pre- sentation of high ideals for Unit ed States soldiers. "
 Heart and Home: This is a day for the pushing of all important work in the home as well as in public service which will more and more engage women of all ages, There is sign of promise that girls will be lucky in love affairs today. It is happy date for en- agreements or marriages. Nasty wooings and unexpected weddings will be exceedingly prevalent through the summer. Youth will ignore all the usual economical ob- stacles in the way of early mar riages. .n
 Business Affairs: American effi- ciency in manufacturing and mer- chandising will be demonstrated in the next three months when mir acles will be performed in aiding the war program. Inventors are stp contribute this month many cufi- ous novelties that add to the s=de- structiveness of mechanical con flict. The most peace-loving of na- tions is to become the most terri ble of enemies as it is goaded out of neutrality.
 National Issues: Taxes will be discussed as the future cost of ar- maments confronts the nation. The cost of living will rise appreoa -l ply through the summer and again the seers advise foresight in expen- ditures, especially for leather goods and clothing. Closer trade relations with South American countries will encourage unity of the democracies and expansion of commerce on this side of the globe. -ia
 International Affairs: Strange shifts in world politics will be apr parent at this time and they will definitely affect the foreign policy of the United States. Strife over the part to be played by our ships is to be stubborn in Congress, but events will prove that aid to Britain should not be limited by any selfish caution. Desperate need will require reckless help, but the stars presage the final victory of British arms.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fairly favorable conditions with ad- equate income, but it is wise to be on guard against enemies.
 Children born on this day will reveal talents of unusual promise. They should be popular and pros porous, but they will awaken the jealousy of less gifted persons. .4a Copyright, 194D

 All these handicaps were thrown in the path of a government which was trying to combat Hitler, and whose defeat has today put Hitler in a strategic position for a hop to South America.
