HERE AT HAND

Whatever befalls us, famine, flood
or. fire, comes forth the support of
the Red Cross to relieve all races,
colors and creedS. There have been
hands all over this land engaged in
assisting the Red Gross in their
enormous task of caring for the
refugees of the stricken countries
overseas. ALI chapters, large and
small have devoted many hours la
Dor for foreign relief. But along
comes sweeping series of forest
fires in our homeland to damage
property and bring hardship and
who is the first to answer the call
for help? You guessed 1.-THE Red
Cross! Any work you do for Britain
Is right and just but while you are
engaged in it remember that if
trouble should hit in this county or
right here in Kennewick, it would
be the Red Gross who would supply
sweaters, food and money.
They work covers peacetime and
cares for the problems of society
through rehabilitation classes, nu-
triton instruction, first-aid courses
and stations, life saving classes.
Don't forget the Red Cross.

I AM AN AMERICAN

Sunday, May 18th is proclaimed
by the president for observance of
II am an American" day. This is in
recognition of our new citizens who
have attained their majority or who
have been naturalized within the
past year." We offer OUR congratula-
tons to all who come under the
stars and stripes as citizens of our
beloved land. To those lands who
may now exercise all the rights of
citizenship, we say welcome.
To those foreigners we remind
them that we have been a nation
founded by many nationalities, our
ancestors came from other lands to
find tolerance and freedom in this
wild, unframed country. They gave
you this America. Today, with men
and women fleeing from homes
overseas to find shelter ON peace
full shores, we who are citizens sit
and bask in our rights and privileges
without realizing our blessed for
tune. We take 1t for granted and
can't figure on doing without it. But
today with the continents raging
and the flood growing wider, the
man who says 81 am an American"
does it with special emphasis and
fervor. He is realizing his good
fortune in most unfortunate per-
iod of history making. For all you
newly-made Americans our good
wishes. May you love the United
States and serve her well!
For three years we have been re-
ceiving into our country many dis
tinguished people who have fled
their native homes. In comes the
exiled genius to find a refuge in ,
America. We have welcomed to our |
culture many scientists of fame, |
statesmen of worthy mention auth |
orS of renown, musicians of ability. |
But through the years we have
naturalized citizens who laid no
fame or fortune on Americas door
step, but who Started to live the
American way, to be good citizens
and make their new home proud of
them and their families. We owe
much to, those of the past and we
will come to owe much to those who
have been just recently made citi-
zens. This means new hope, cour-
age and strength in.the melting pot.

Russia some time ago told of the
well educated army there. He spoke
of the men not only splendid tech
nicians but trained efficiently in
many other lines that showed their
basic education. The latter part of
1910 shows that in the U. S. army
only a little over $4,000 of the $780,
152 recruits were not educated in
our national school system. Over
5000 boys had from one year in
college and over. This would indi-
cate to the Kennewick reader that
our army isn't illiJerate!

There is too much government in
this country by pressure groups. The
past few years the drive of pressure
groups has reached a high tide. The
individual voice is no longer heard
in the halls of congress. The only
way the individual can be heard is
to line himself up with one of the
pressure groups. Most pressure
groups rob the many for the bene-
fit of the few.

NOT so DUMB!

During the first World War there
were thousands of drafted men in
our army who did not know the
proper use of the English language.
Many spoke foreign tongues and it
proved necessary to have officers
men who could make the orders un-
derstood in the language of these
soldiers. Today this no longer is
necessary for the rating of educa-
ton is higher in our army. However,
there are few camps holding
classes in English for soldiers. An
American writer who returned from

Bonds Is to offer . means of sys- tematic saving, to absorb excess earning power, and indirectly to di- vert materials and energies towards the defense program.
 Fifth, as another anti-infletion- ary policy, we have control of prices, 1t seems obvious that If this nation Is going to achieve sound price con- trol 1t must cover all items. We can't make an exception of industrial wages or agriculture or any other major item and expect to have ef. fective price control.
 "The intricacies of price regula. ton, the suggestion of dictatorial control are naturally obnoxious to most of us, but If one is forced tc choose between headlong price rises Heading to imitation and strict over- all control, there may be no alter native.
 Finally, elimination of threats to our monetary structure, such as the present powers vested in the Presi- dent with respect to devaluation, ex- pansion of currency through silver certificates, and other powers, should be withdrawn.
 "These points itenlize some of the major moves that will have to be made If we are going to avoid in. flation, With all these, there is nc positive assurance that the situa- ton can be fully controlled. There Is good reason, However, to believe that with these factors brought in- to play, we may not have a runaway | inflation,"

 New Jerseys legislature acted first and formally adopted 6 conn pact. New York followed 6 months later. Then congress, by statute, granted the necessary permission for not only New York and New Jersey to proceed under the com pact but included Connecticut.
 Acting as an interstate body rep- resenting only New York and New Jersey, the commission has func- toned smoothly and quietly for five years. Tn results 1t has seen sewage treatment plants in the Metropol- itan area double in number: 1t has witnessed gradual but widespread public awakening and 1t has served as a model for other sections of the country where the problem of pol lution has had interstate charac- teristics.

Climaxing a iO-year campaign to end pollution in the waters of the Metropolitan area, the State Of Connecticut will formally join New York and New Jersey as Q sover- eign signatory state to an anti-pol- lution compact on Wednesday, Sep tember 17th.
 The Connecticut 5-man commits sion, recently appointed by Cover nor Robert A. Hurley, will be the guest of New York and New Jersey commissioners at luncheon to be held at the Engineers club, No. S2 West 10th street, New York city.
 The formal compact, concluded five years ago by representatives of New York and New Jersey, will be signed by the Connecticut commits sioners at that time.
 With the addition of Connecticut, the first objective set by sponsors of the anti-pollution campaign will be achieved.
 Waters surrounding New York had become SO polluted in 1881 that the health authorities of the city hklU SJdLe phLlLleu pdbLlulB db AhVo0 beaches and warned of the peril of possible epidemic. Health officials of New York, New Jersey and Con- necticut were brought together and the idea of trl-state action, author ized through compact, was born.
 President Roosevelt, then gover- nor of New York; Gov. A. Harry Moore of New Jersey; and Gov. Wilbur A. Cross of Connecticut, gave the proposal their enthusiastic support. Gov. Roosevelt delegated Dr. Parren, present head of the United States Health service, to represent New York state in those early conferences.
 The late Senator Royal 8. Cope land and Senator Wagner of New
