The Public Must Be Protected

The tragedy that resulted last week in the killing OF an
aged man in Libby when struck by has brought to
head evaporation that has been brewing IN the public
mind for some time Frequent complaint has been heard
regarding the careless driving of by some youths
and the complaint be lodged against adults
It is sometimes somewhat difficult to obtain satisfactory
action against juvenile The law sets certain procedures
for their protection which is right Yet that protection
should result in freeing youth from proper punish
ment when he has done something radically wrong, al
though punishment should be too Whatever
punishment meed out by the law should look to the pro-
lection of the public and the welfare of the juvenile not
merely to his punishment.
The Libby gas rationing board is be commended in de-
Gliding that gas ratoning books will hereafter be taken away
from those found guilty of reckless driving We believe it
can also be said that officers of the law will have the hearty
support of the public in whatever action they may take to
punish violators and to protect the public

Utopian Plans

Aviation is only one phase of the
achievement the war has forced
upon US; there are great plans burst
ing to become realities, many that
seem SO utopian that the cyncs
scotia world organization to en-
force peace and achieve freedom
from fear. world cooperation which
will increase production and facili-
tate distribution to the point where
there will be at least an approx
nation of freedom from Want-to
tick off only two of the four free
doms for which we are supposed
to be fighting.
Discouraged at our inability to
realize within our own vast bor-
ders all of the dreams Of our found
ing fathers, we cannot believe that
the high aims for unity embracing
the whole world can be anything
but pure fantasy. But II we can
shrink the globe from orange to
marble, feat that would have been
considered uttefly incredible to our
own grandfathers, must we say that
we cannot build a world unity and
world understanding greater than
anything heretofore conceived?
1t took dreamer to put the first
wings on man-the laboratory and
the machine shop did the rest
With the widespread will to bet
ter future providing the psychologi-
cal inspiration who knows but that
the energy which has made the
prosecution of global war possible
can be transmitted into framework
upon which global peace can be
built?
It's smaller globe, after all.
AS we begin to think in global
terms, we have to adjust our views
of geography. For instance, sup.
pose someone should tell you that
the important port Of Siberia, for
which the Japs yearn but do not
dare attack, the port of Vladivostok,
were hundred and fifty miles south
of the poetic city of Venice with its
streets of water? OF course, you
would know better but could you
say how much better?
Or if someone said fatty to you:
"You can't tell me what South
American countries d line running
straight south from Savannah, Ca,
would pass through" !" you would feel
you could at least guess and get
one right.
No. No. Naples is $50 miles
north Of Vladivostok.
You can't name any South Ameri-
can country south Of Savannah, Ca,
because the western coastline of
South America is east OF such point.
Guess again.

Continued from Page One) Duck" Congress which adjourned March 1, 1881
 But by December, 1881. when the new Congress assembled, death had wiped out the Republican margin, and special elections had given con- trol to the Democrats. The Demo- cratS retained their shaky foothold right up until the November, l932, election and after that their wor- ries were over for some time to come.
 A party in control of the House, without controlling the Administra- tion, is normally in a good position politically
 In wartime, however, no party wants to let itself in for the slight est chance of being criticized as cbstructing the Administrations war policy-e especially when that policy is successful. So there is a not nconsiderable body of opinion here that believes the COP is in no hurry to get control of the House-that it would rather wait until next years general election. when it will have at least a fighting chance depending on developments before then of putting its own man into the White House.
