Is There No Hope?

Very frequently one encounters
people who are greatly pessimistic
concerning the outcome of the pres
ent war and any possibility of a
permanent peace coming from it..
They believe selfishness is still SO
strong among men that after the
fighting stops the same old attempt
will be made to strengthen the hold
of the powerful nations on the
riches of the world and to continue
the subjugation of the underpriv-
ileged races. They are convinced
such an arrangement will follow the
present war and that therefore
other wars will be certain.
That's a desperately dark view
of mankind's future. If there is nc
escape from recurring wars such
as are fought today the eventual
destruction of civilization is Ger
tainty. The world cannot continue
indefinitely destroying millions o.
lives and billions of wealth and re-
tain law and order and the ad.
vantages of civilized society.
But we believe and hope the out
look is not SO dark as all that. Be
cause invention has practically an
initiated distance and thrown ma
tons close together, because mod
ern wars are so terrible, because
world destruction is the only al
tentative, we believe that nations
will be forced to attempt a jus
settlement Of eheir disputes on
basis that will bfaag peace Prog
ress in human advancement is SLOW
but it does come.
1t should be remembered tina
there were many doubters and many
problems when it was proposed t.
unite the Is colonies into tht
United States Of America. But thu
problems were solved to the ever
lasting benefit of the nation and t
the world. Is it too much to believe
that a somewhat similar banding

TROY NEWS
CARNIVAL HUGE SUCCESS
.ssatstss1.ts,ss&,s3ss>sDHtstssS

The annual school carnival held
Saturday night was a great sue
cess, the gross proceeds being
s7O700. :
The vaudeville was directed by
Mrs. Maness and the cast was made
up of high school students. "A
Letter To Former Troy High School
BOYS Now in Service was used as
the theme.
Immediately following the vaude-
vile, the concessions were opened.
All of these proved popular as prov
en- by the fact that most of them
were soon out of prizes. The lunch
room. always drawing card, sold
out of food.
At $50 a boxing and tumbling
program was offered in the audi
forum. Five bouts were fought and
tumbling act was given. These
were under the direction of Coach
Coffman.
The Queen contest was closed at
1890 with Billie Price. freshman
candidate, winning with total of
1924 votes.
Dancing was enjoyed in the gym
from 1890 to 2.30 with music by
the Jivin Five.
The queen coronation took place
in the gym at Il o'clock. The queen
and her princess were lovely in
long dresses. The senior princess,
Dorothy Tallmadge, was announced
by Page Dickey Siebenforcher. She
was followed by Betty Tubbs, jun
ior candidate, and Lois Bennett,
Soph. candidate, was announced. A
trumpet call preceded the announce
ment of the queen. The queen wore
floor length dress of black with
white bodice. A long train was
carried by Marie Baeth in the uni
form of a nurse and Wayne Wal
lace in an army uniform. The party
marched around the floor to music
by the orchestra. The queen was
seated on throne of red and white
with her attendants about her Mr..
Sutherland presented each princess
sterling silver spoon in behalf
of the school, The queen was pre-
sented with a silver bowl. These
are to be engraved with the name
and occasion. A white crown was
placed upon the queens head as
soon as she was seated In a few
we'll chosen words, she voiced her
appreciation for the support of her
friends.
Five grand prizes were given to
Mrs. Francis Hosea, Mrs. Jim Cas-
sidy, Bill Perry, Eddie Johnson and
Floyd Osborn
Mr. Sutherland and his whole
school wish to express their APP
probation for the loyal support of
the conmunitW in making this one
of Troy's most successful carnivals.
The money will help greatly for
things for which there were no
funds Among these are plaque
with the names of former Troy
students now in the armed service,
balance on the athletic club debt,
a small balance on the boxing and
tumbling mats, repairs on band in
struments, makeup for the dra-
mates class kit, a couple of basket
balls and the basket ball uniforms
cleaned.
Each year cash prize is award
ed for the class netting the most
money on its concessions. This year
this was won by the junior class
Whi<n cleared $48.10 from their
gross of Sl0l.85. The juniors spon-
sored the lunch room, victory game
and the ball and pin.

monarch, Britain, one with q COM
munistic form of government, Rus
STA; and one, democratic republic,
the United States.
The test came in Italy. After the
parleys at Moscow, the AMG was
limited in its functions, taking over
only the districts nearest the front.
An Allied military commission was
formed which is making maximum
use of the local native civilian Off
cials.
Italian Government
But what about the government
which the Allies would accept as
satisfactorily representing the will
of the Italian people? Surely Britain
would demand that monarchy be
given chance to remain in power.
Surely Russia would have no traf-
fic with kings and would instead de-
mand strong left-wing set-up.
The supposed American compro-
mise was temporary regency, that
is, liberal regent such as Count
Carlo Sforza who was in exile from
the Fascist regime and who left
America shortly after the surrender
of Italy. The little son of the crown
prince would remain the symbolic
head of the state. Many said that
neither Russia nor Britain would ac-
cept this suggestion.
However, although no definite step
has been taken, semi-official sources
have indicated that when Rome is
recaptured and Marshal Badoglio,
now premier, steps out, there will
be virtual agreement on the part of
the three victor nations on the Amer
lean compromise. All that remains
will be an agreement on the part of
the Italian people. Even if the lat
ter is not achieved, there is evil
dence enough already of tripartite
compromise and unity to seem to
confirm the success of the Mission to
Moscow

Economic Questions

The ways and means committee
of the house has only been able to
agree on methods of raising one
fifth of the money which the govern
ment says it Is necessary to have
to continue the war. Not only has
it been unwilling to tax the higher
brackets further but it also is afraid
to recommend the sales tax be-
cause that affects the largest group
of voters-everybody.
Naturally the first thing that citi-
zen leaps to defend is his pocket
book. The administration has at
tempted to lay down as goal
maximum net income of $25, 900 In
wartime, perhaps twice as much in
peacetime. Now perhaps the Amer
lean people don't want to put any
limit whatever on incentive. Never
theless, there is always an cutlery
against the accumulation of wealth
and we know that when wealth be-
comes concentrated, panics result.
If the various influences resisting
taxation which will bring down their
ceiling on incomes succeed In fore
ing congress to defeat such laws. and
granted the rest of the people ac-
cept the defeat, democracy is not to
blame. The selfish group has won
and 1t has won, not because con-
gress wants to please few voters
hint hnralfcc rprurocr L,n Loo~ -
WINGED that the special interests are
represented by majority of voters
in other words, the majority wins.
Another current issue which is
very much before congress is the
threat to little business. Right now,
10 per cent Of the war contracts are
held by about 100 firms.
Senator O'Mahoney is proposing
measure which would produce an
incentive on the part of the invest
ors, that is, those with large capitals
to spend, to invest in small rather
than large business, that would be
done by making taxes on big bust
ness so-heavy so that the profits re-
sulting to the investor would not
be as large as if he had his money
in small business.
Small business has to be protect
ed, it is admitted, if free enterprise
in America is to continue. If any
single group or groups manage to
convince the elected officials Of the
country that they can muster
enough votes to defeat the people
who are responsible for such a tax
plan, it is obvious that the majority's
will will be frustrated There again
it goes back to the individual. In
dividuals who do not vote destroy
the democratic processes by permit
ting minority Of the people to be-
come the majority of the voters.

In discussing Germany's possible
collapse, De Witt Mackenzie, mill
tary analyst, closes one of his col
umns with this paragraph:
That's one of Hitler's greatest
weaknesses since the start of this
attempt to conquer the world-flack
of any high and inspiring PURPOSE.
His only justification for his ag-
gression has been that might is
right-and he had the might. It
takes more than that to sustain d
great nation as destruction rushes
on it.
There was never a more colossal
error than the belief that might
makes right. Might may conquer
and dominate for a time, but unless
might is also tempered with right
it is only question Of time until
the once mighty are overthrown by
new and greater might. Govern
ment based on might only means
unending struggle, with the I'M
conquerable spirit of man ever
striving to secure right and free
dom.

Those backing the Christmas Seal

health is too valuable a thing. The
cause of this affliction among so
many of our young men should be
located and rooted out. You can

Reports coming out from Wash
