Hoover Americanism

FORMER President Hoover has shown great penetra-
i ton of thought in his addresses the relations OF
the United States to the present
In giving his views, he has nquestonably been mo-
AWAITED by high sense of patriotism.
BE has shown more realistic grasp Of the risks of
any course than the propaganda groups OF various
shades of opinion
In articuiatng the American view of full prepared
ness and of Acknowledgements, Mr. Hoover has become
the spokesman for the majority of his fellow citizens
The Gallup polls and all the other tests of public
opinion reveal that at 70 per of people
opposed entering the European war of power politics
at this time
Thus for the first time since his shattering defeat
In the campaign Of 1882 Mr. Hoover. in his debate with
the New Deal, is on the popular side
TN personal way this possible rebirth of Mr.
Hoover's lost popularity.
Even his most violent critics must admire the
tenacty with which Mr. Hoover despite the vcssltudes
of politics. has sought 1882 discharge his public
obligations by giving expression TO his views on foreign
and domestic questions
The swings of the pendulum of politics dragged Mr..
Hoover from the pinnacle of public approval in 1928 to
the depths of defeat 1882 and curousy enough Mr.
Hoovers rugged defense of Amercanism at this critical
time is rehabilitatng his personal prestige.
The default of Mr.. Willke from his obligations as
ttular head of the Republican Party has necessarily
forced heavy obligations men like Mr.. Hoover and
Governor Landon.
WHEN the history of this period is finally written,
w the services of these patriots in resisting hystera
and propaganda will be set down noble and invaluable
expressions of the highest type of Americanism.
Having frequently disagreed with Mr.. Hoover on
domestic topics the Hearst newspapers doh their hats TO
the former president for his zeal in resisting the current
of hystera and hypocrisy.
Mr. Hoover's recent broadcast from Chicago made
crystal clear danger of pursuing the will the wsps
of power politics
AS the former chief executive indicated, it is FAN
TASTIC to think of marching ARM AND ARM WITH
JOSEF STAIN in defense of the four freedoms.
Mr. Hoover has again become potent voice, because
In of and peace he happens to be expressing
the viewpoint of the great majority OF the American
people

The Embarrassing Story
Of a Business-Like Soldier
BY DAMON RUNYON

WE ONCE got hornswoggled
w by the government. of the
United States on a little deal we
made with it to do some soldier
ing. We bear no i'll will now.
AS matter of fact, we had for
gotten the finn Tanning we got
on that occasion until we noted
in the public prints that
President Roosevelt had asked
Congress to hold the national
guardsmen and selectees in the
army for the duration OF the
present emergency, which may
be quite a spell beyond the
period they were first told they
would be required TO serve.
Our experience with the gov
eminent was somewhat similar
TO the terms of this proposal.
The government was in the war
business with a country called
Spain. and it was contracting
with men TO work for il in this
war. We engaged to enter the
governments service. at sti-
pend mutually agreed upon, in
the capacity of private soldier.
We might have held out for
a captaincy but we had been
tipped off that captains had TO
% lead in battle and we preferred
a less conspicuous position.
THE government drew up a
Il hard and fast contract with
us in which ii stipulated that
our employment was for this
war business with Spain. That
is what the contract stipulated
the war with Spain. We remem-
Der distinctly that in examining
the document carefully for pos
sible tricky clauses we found no
mention Of any other war. 1t
stated that our engagement was
for the duration of the war with
Spain. therefore il was as clear
as gumbo soup that our contrac-
tual relations with the govern
ment must terminate and be null
and void when the war with
Spain was finished.
You could not read anything
else into the agreement If you
stood on your head. We suppose
we Should have submitted the
paper 10 a lawyer before signing,
but in those days we trusted the
government. Our old man told
us that President William Nc
Kinley was a dead square fellow,
even though a Republican. Thus
we journeyed TO the Philippines
with Minnesota national guard
regiment and carried out our
end of the deal TO the best OF
our ability.
ModeSty forbldS us saying any
more, yet the truth of the mat
ter is the Spaniards surrendered
soon after our arrival, so you
can draw your own conclusions.
THE war with Spain ended in
Il August. 1898. Our contract
then expired. The duration was
no longer durating. Naturally we
expected to be handed formal
cancellation of our agreement
with the government forthwith.
September came and passed, also
October. November and Deem
bcr. and we heard nothing from
the government. Not even from
President William Mckinley.
To be frank. our confidence in
the integrity Of the government
had commenced 10 be q little

your enemy in advance what
you are going TO do or not do

 "Japan earnestly aims at removing the Pacific cancer and this was demonstrated by Premier Konoye's personal message 10 President Roose- welt delivered August 28
 However. the Pacific situation is going from bad to worse and none can say what will happen next
 The Nichi Nichi further asserts that the United States is evidently aiming to include Russia, America, British. China and Dutch Nether- lands in the encirclement by send ing oil to planes. This has irritated the Japanese who must now expect any development and must prepare foI the consequences

DELI(ATE5SEN SUES UNION FOR
 S5,00o DAMAGES
q Mem bers of Retail Clerks Organization
 Named in Action

Asking total damages of s5,275, Albert s. Glover and Margaret Whiteley, owners of the Spruce Delicatessen at 919 E Street, filed suit in Federal District Court here late yesterday afternoon against the Retail Clerks Union, Local 1892, naming specifically 21 members of the union group.
 The action charged that since September 27 the union, through picketing, driving away of custom CTS and preventing the delivery of supplies to the Spruce Delicatessen, has caused loss of business and clientele in the amount of the dam- age asked.
 As presented by Attorney Howard E. Stabler, the suit stressed the fact that the two partners, Glover and Mrs. Whiteley, operate the store themselves and do not employ any help, either union or non-union.
 Named specifically in the suit as defendants were Frank Chinella, business agent for the union; Clarence Trout, described as pro- fessional picket employed by the union; and the following union members: H. L. Arnold, Harold Aase, A. H. Hendrickson, Joe John son, T. L. Allen, William Erickson, Ralph Mortensen, James Ramsay, R. F. Kronquist, A. L. Henson, Ernest Ahler, Eric Anderson, Man ley Watkins, John Hogins, G. E. Allen, Art Judson, Ed Jahoda, Roy Watson and George Bavard.
 The suit set forth that the Spruce Delicatessen is not affiliated with the union and has no contract or agreement with the union. nor any
 abor dispute with the union. It stated that the store customarily remains open after 5 p. m, some times as late as p. m. or 10 p. n., and that the bulk of its business is
 transacted after the D. m. hour.
 The suit further charged that JhinelIa has called several times at he store. demanding the propriet- )rs make an agreement With the Inion to close at 5 p. m. and
 threatening that unless this was icne the union would resort to tickets in front of the store. drive way customers and prevent the
 btaining of supplies. In this way, he suit alleged, Chinella threaten sd to ruin the business of the store, ,reak it financially and put it out If business.

WASHINGTON If you really have streak of Pollyanna in your makeup, you can look at the new federal tax bill this way: The more you pay in taxes, the less you will have left to pay for liv- ing costs
 Does that sound like scrambled economies? Well, the way it works out, if you don't have as mu h money to spend, you don't buy as much and therefore you keep down the demand. Less demand, less reason for higher prices.
 That, friends, is the silver lining in the greatest tax bill this coun- try ever has faced Here are a few more crumbs:
 Cigarette smokers, who already pay 6I5 cents tax to Uncle Sam on every package they buy, will pay no new tax.
 No Tax on Prosit!
 Also, while the tax was raised on wines and liquors, beer came out unscathed.
 The federal tax on gasoline re- mains the same, too.
 And if you think you will have it tough working on the night shift in a defense plant, paying out a good chunk of your income for taxes, you can be thankful you aren't the big guy who runs the outfit.
 All of the corporation heads put together are going to have to chip in $1,382, 100000 for the federal treasury.
