DESTINY POINTS
TO REUNION
midland, Ontario, Free Press-Herald)

(Midland, Ontario, Free PreSS-H -Herald)
In the desperate hour that preceded the
fall of France, Prime Minister Churchill
made to that nation a most extraordinary
proposal. He suggested that the British
and French people should indissolubly
merge their empires with all their peo-
piles, territories, armies, navieS and air
forces, the whole to be controlled by a
joint parliament. The offer came too
late to receive the consideration it de-
served. Had it been accepted the whole
course of the war might have been diff
ferent.
Has the time not arrived when another
equally dramatic proposal should be
made? 1t matters not whether Mr..
Churchill or Mr.. Roosevelt speaks first.
Democracy throughout the world is in
dire peril. 1t lives on in full measure
only in the British empire and the United
States. They alone can and must save
it from European and Asiatic dctators.
Forward looking thinkers in both coun-
tries agree that peace, when 1t comes,
can only be secured as the free nations
of the world unite in one great world
wide federation to which would be ad-
mitted other nations as they in good faith
agreed to pool their resources for its
preservation. That federation can only
come as the United States and the Brit
iSh Commonwealth of nations take the
lead.

HoIIywoods Fads, Fancies and FoibIes

do not represent Hollywood. The
people are not blasc and sophisti-
Gated, but Wholesome, friendly,
home-loving folks. They are learn
ing that they need not drag in
drinking scene to fill up a dull
spot
WATTS DISSENTS
About tine UIme Dr. Peale was
delivering his panegyric, a New
York critic, Richard Watts of the
Herald-Tribune, was writing very
different estimate of Hollywood
following a visit here. He said:
1T does more to bring cheapness
and depreciation to those who come
within its malign influence than
any mechanical invention since the
colored light 1t softens intelligence,
breaks down integrity, destroys
senSitivity and cheapens most of
the things and people it touches.
Hollywood has not simply been
taken over by men and women in
herently lacking in taste and in
telligence. 1t has captured people
who have possessed those qualities
to splendid degree and then has
proceeded to destroy both of these
virtues
Obviously DR.. Peale and Mr.. Watts
didn't get around with the same
crowd. Obviously, too, neither of
them knows too much about the
place and its people, but the fact
that two such completely opposite
opinions can be SO confidently
voiced is evidence that Hollywood
can't be classified or analyzed. It's
fine and filthy, brave and craven,
rich and poor, hard and sentiment
al, and all the other contradictory
adjectiveS you can think of.

SOMEBODY'S HAYWIRE

If Senator Burton K. Wheeler know
ingly sent post cards to soldiers in the
United States Army-which he says he
did not do-urging them to write Presl-
dent Roosevelt expressing opposition to
u S. participation in war, he was guilty
of an act which, at the very least, was
in extremely bad taste.
But if Secretary of War Henry L. Slim
son had no carefully investigated founda-
tion for his charge that Wheeler did such
a thing then Stimson was about as un-
Democratic as Wheeler might have been
culpable When a man makes the charge
about another man that Stimson made
about Wheeler-that his conduct comes
very near the line of subVersiVe activ-
tiles against the United States, if not
treason'-he should be very. very sure of
his facts. Such charge is ineXcusabe
when made for purely political or prOpa-
ganda reasons. 1t has as little Of DemOc-
racy in it as it has truth.
Wheeler mailed million cards. Some
of them undoubtedly went to men now
in the army, although they might not
have been there when the mailing list
was compiled That is regrettable Had
the cards been mailed knowingly to SOL
diers, it would have amounted to incit-
ing revolt against the Army's commander
in-chief. We do not believe Wheeler
would be guilty of that, no matter how
much we disagree with hin-and we do
most of the time.
Somebody's haywire-and it most like
ly is both of them.

The Urge to Federate

Federation is in the air these
days.
The world is gradually realizing
that Europe cut into little chip
on-the-shoulder political subdivis-
ions, Balkanized Europe in short,
was not good Tor Europe and not
good for the world.
The number OF sucn countries
was increased by the World War.
For instance. the old Austro- Hun
garian Empire, political monstros-
ity though it was, had a certain
amount of justification as an eco
nomic free trade area. Splitting it
into tiny divisions made each of
those divisions an economic torso
Unable to survive.
Hitler had something in his plan
for economic unification of Europe.
What Europe and the world cannot
permit is that this unification be
achieved by force and solely for
the benefit and aggrandizement of
the German Reich. 1t must be
done voluntarily and without sac
rificing local free government.
Hitler is utterly incapable of ac-
complishing it on any such decent
basis.
The world has got to stop be-
lieving that political freedom and
local government necessarily
mean economic isolationiSm. The
day is past when the two must
necessarily go together. 1t is pos
sible-it must be possible in fu-
ture-for countries to maintain
complete internal political indie
pendence, and yet give up some
previously sacred rights to set up
the kind of trade barriers that in
sure strangulatlon
The United States is taking the
lead in some such plan for the
small islands of the Caribbean.
Most of these islands, chronically
poor, depend for such wealth as
they have on exports of agricul-
tural products. They arc in des-
perate plight The war has cut
them off from Europe's markets.

AND NOW WHAT.
Mr.. ROOSEVELT?

President Roosevelt was more than a
little bit nettled by criticism of policy
which has allowed continued shipments
of oil to Japan for the last two or three
years.
If Japan had not been able to get the
oil in the United States, he explained
at a press conference, Tokyo would have
attempted to take over the Dutch East
Indies in order to obtain oil there.
g. then you would have had war"
he declared.
The statement allows of no misinter-
probation. 1t is an open declaration that
the United States would have gone to
war with Japan had Japan attempted to
take over the Dutch East Indies. 1t is
to be presumed the same situation still
prevails with regard to the East Indies.
AT least there has been no announced
change of policy in Washington on this
matter.
If that is the case, what is our posi-
ton now?
Are we going to keep on selling oil to
Japan, to be used in slaughtering the
Chinese we are supposed to be helping,
and to be used also in building to greater
strength the Indo-Chinese bases Japan
has now seized, and from which she is in
a strategic position to launch a devastat-
There is word for that sort of thing.
We had believed it went out of fashion
in the more powerful democracies two
years ago. 1t is "appeasement.'
BY the Presidents own declaration, we
are in pretty mess in the Orient. If we
stop selling oil to Japan, she will have to
move into the East Indies. If she does
move in we will have to fight But if we
keep on selling her oil, we help her
strengthen the machinery she will event
ually use against us; we will encourage
her to greater aggressions, since the first
go unpunished; and we will allow her
entirely to surround the area in which
we may be fighting her one of these days.
The least we could do would be to oc-
cupy the Dutch East Indies, as we occu-
pied Iceland, so that we, too, could be
getting ready for the showdown when and
if it comes.
If appeasement is out of fashion in
Europe, why should it continue to be de-
mocracy's policy in the Orient?

Plans are in the making for setting
up a customs union between all
these islands, the United States and
Britain
Meanwhile, more and more weight
is being placed behind the proposal
to lower and gradually eliminate
tariff barriers between the united
States and Canada, looking TO-
ward some day perhaps enlarging
the already vast free trade area OF
the United States. Canada's cur

that of the United States. WhN

the automobile except that you turn
a key, step on the starter, SHIFT
the gears and turn the steering
wheel to make it 90. Get under the
hood to see if you can spark on
the answers to these questions.
l. Who was the first man 10 in
vent gasoline automobile in the
U. S. and when?
2. What is the difference between
O jaywalker and a pedestrian?
3. How does the spark plug op-
crate to ignite the gasoline in a
cylinder?
q. What is the purpose Of the fan
belt?
ANSWERS
/. c. E. Duryea was the first auto
inventor in U. s., in 1892
2. A jaywalker is a pedestrian,
but a careless one, who walks across
the street between intersections or
against traffic lights. A pedestrian
is any person afoot.
3. The spark plug consists Of two
electrodes separated by an air gap.
When electric charge comes through
the plug, it jumps the gap, creating
spark to ignite the gasoline.
q. The fan belt connects the fan
TO a revolving part of the motor,
thus turning the fan, which in
turn keeps the motor cool,

LEST WE FORGET

When the World War debt of the Unit
ed States reached its highest point in
August of 1919 it was a little more than
S26 l 2 billion. The computed interest
rate" thereon as stated by the Treasury
was 4196 per cent and the interest cost
of carrying it was therefore S1,116,000,-
900 annually, in round numbers. The
principal of the national debt was then
$3.50 per capita of the population.
A year ago, or on June 80, 1910, to be
exact, the debt was trifle less than S43
billion, the average interest rate 1888
per cent, the cost Of carrying the load was
S1,110000, 900 annually and the principal
1926 per capita.
On June 80, 1941, the debt was just un-
der $40 billion, the average interest rate
2.51S per cent, the annual interest bill
S1,233, ,000,000 and the per capita debt
1869.
Looking back to August, 1919, we see
that the interest burden today is little
greater than then though the debt is
greater by S22 l 2 billion. Looking back
one year, we see that the debt has grown
by roughly Sc billion and the annual in
terest cost by $123, 100000 The burden
grows slowly, but it grows. Another fall
in the interest rate hereafter, such as has
taken place in the past % years, is un-
imaginable; rise in the rate is more
probable
And we are, of course, not paying off
anything. There is an item in the treas
ury outgo account designated debt re-
tirements (sinking fund, etc." but as
long as the treasury operates with a COM
modiOus deficit every year and meets
specific maturities out of fresh borrow
ing, a so-called sinking fund doesn't
sink" any debt.

Theoretically, business as usal

staffS goes on in the five neutral
