Senator Johnson Condemned;
Other Senators Applauded.

To the Editor OF The Star.
In voicing his habitual opposition to
postwar collaboration by the United
States, Senator Hiram johnson is re-
ported to have said God help America
and preserve us ."
This desire that God help us has one
may say with certainty, wide echo
throughout our land. Moreover We
fervently would urge that our Senators
and our Congressman seek divine aid
and wisdom in the making of momen-
tous decisions for our Nation.
What a lack of wisdom is manifested
by those who oppose an endeavor to
maintain peace in the world, if that
endeavor means that the United States
participate in it! To such deficient and
illogical thinking, perhaps the greatest
catastrophe that could happen to our
country would be for it to enter into an
agreement with other nations to pre-
serve peace by the maintenance of a
police force which would act as deter
rent to any would-be aggressor nation.
The fact that thousands of our young
men must give their lives in the holo-
caust of war means little or nothing to
men thus speciously reasoning The
only thing that terrifies them is the
thought that, in a world at peace, the
United States would send quota of its
young men to unite with young men Of
other nations in the forming of police
force to maintain that peace. To these
men, such peacetime enterprise Of
collective endeavor is unthinkable. Yes,
Judging from their ignoble and unsound
utterances, World War III and even
World War w would be preferable.
Can we not do something to bring
these men to a just perspective of their
duty not only to our own Nation and its
people, but also to the world of which We
are a part?
If it would not be amiss here, it would
be pleasure to express appreciation to
those Senators "a few of whom are Sen
ators Pepper, Hatch, Hill, Burton, Ball
and others who so courageously are
advocating that our Nation take its
place in the world in order that its own
interests, along with the interests of
other nations. may be protected and the
threat of future wars eliminated by a
sound system of collective security with
sufficient force behind it to guarantee
its peaceful aims. BETTY BEALE.

Christopher said. shipments in

The bite that current taxes
take from earnings is shown by
the fact that Packards profits
before taxes for the first half
year were Sll,SS7 900. against
comparable gross profits of
