Knox Urges Same
Policy for Parties

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 23.-UP)
Adoption of similar foreign policy
platforms at the 1914 conventions
of both major political parties was
urged last night by Secretary of
Navy Frank Knox, because cam
.paign discussion of such issues "can
only possibly do injury instead of
good" to the war effort.
Here is a chance for the two
great parties in the United States,
as political parties, to make a great
common contribution to our success
in the war and very probably to
our successful conduct of inter-
national relations. in the postwar
period he told the navy league il

We say again: Please do not rauel nov unless

sary trip you may make it impossible for
someone engaged in war work, or who has
desperate personal need to travel, to get
aboard the train
When conditions return to normal and we
have celebrated Victory, then yes, go places

away in war bonds will make your train trips
all the more pleasant and carefree.
When that time comes, we of the Southern
Pacific will again be encouraging travel and
we hope you will ride with lis often. We are
doing all we can during this war period TO
deserve your continued friendship and con-
fdence by furnishing train space to the limit

The people behind our ticket counters are
just as human as anybody, and they know
that many journeys on the train are urgent
and necessary.
SO if you are told that no accommodations
are available for several days or weeks ahead,
don't blame the salesman He is no happier
about this than you are.
These days many people are travelling on
business connected with the war effort.
Naturally many of them prefer to ride our
best trains, such as the Lark, the Cascade,
the Golden State Limited, the City OF San
Francisco, etc. But there are more of these
travellers than there is train space.
While our ticket statesmen do their best to
provide desired accommodations they must
often ask travellers to adjust their plans to
use other trains. This is not because we lack
appreciation of the Importance of the busi-
ness missions its simply question of
space. We can't put quart into pint cup.

Sweden Objects

In 1916 and 1917 imperial Germany
misjudged the amount OF Slapping
around that the United States would
endure. Perhaps she was deceived by
our reelection OF president who had
kept us out of war" The misjudgment
OF the Reichs World War / military
leaders cost Germany the victory Today
Hitler is pushing little Sweden around in
much the same manner, forcing her hand
in apparent belief that she is too tiny
to dare make stand. Two years ago he
might have been correct, as q matter of
military power politics. One year ago
the Swedes might have been forced to
accede. Today their position is changed
one. There is growing evidence that If
Hitler forces the issue much further, he
may have cause to regret his overconfi-
dence. On April 10 the Swedish submar-
inc Ulven disappeared in coastal waters.
Three days later the commander of her
sister ship the Draken reported that, in
Swedish waters, he had been fired on by
the armed German merchantmen Alt
kirch. The NaziS admitted this, with
cock-and-bull story seeking TO justify the
aggression. In searching for the Ulven,
divers found the Germans had laid mine
fields In Swedish waters: it is believed
that one OF those mines probably sank
the Ulven.
These events came on top of discovery
that a Nazi plane, flying over Sweden,
was carrying arms in contravention Of
explicit agreement between the two ma
tons simultaneously there was public
agitation about Nazi soldiery crossing
Sweden to and from Norway, on leave
Then high Nazi military officials began
wandering around Norway in sight of the
Swedish border. The Swedish govern
ment and press are becoming belligerent
In their attitude toward these episodes,
and arc warning Hitler that repetitions
viii be discouraged by armed force. The
people are bowling down Nazi propaganda
lists; ten men selling anti-Jewish litera-
ture in Vasteras had to be saved by the
police from menacing crowd
Sweden Is not a great military power
and, on even terms, Germany could take
her without working up so much as a
decent lather. But terms aren't even
Germany has lost the initiative every
where, and Is now rat showing its teeth
in an ever-namowing corner. With help
from the Allies, Sweden could help drive
the last nail into Htler's coffin. Her
entry into the war might provide that
northern bridgehead that we need, at
lower cost than otherwise.

Little Red School House

Perhaps it is old-fashioned, sentimental
and not progressive to side with those
who cling to the continuance of some of
the last socalled little red schoolhouses."
This is brought to mind by news over
Terryville way that many residents are
going to protest the closing of the Holt
District School, whose six grades are
taught by one teacher. 1t is easy to APP
preciate both sides of the question. Old
residents hate to part with this last of the
old SchoolhouSeS; and others evidently
are of the opinion the children would
benefit more by having the advantages OF
the newer schools in town.
However, New Englanders like to have
their little red schoolhouses," or white
ones, as the case may be. They are part
OF the country's history, and here in New
England and our own state a definite
part of the scenery, standing by the side
of the road. Our countryside was once
dotted with them, but gradually they
have either fallen to decay or been torn
down. Many time in our youth we have
driven by them and have had certain
ones pointed out to us. Then again ar
rived the day when we could only recog-
niZe the spot where the SchoolhouSe
stood. They form part of childhood
memories, and no doubt as progressive
educators of today would say, are some
thing to relegate to the past.
Just the same we can appreciate as our
neighbor does the pang that comes at the
thought of closing. The Holt District
School is one hundred years old, and it
can well be appreciated why the residents
in that locality are going to protest its
closing.

French Influence

1t was too much to hope that impress

Air force members in North Africa
have formed a Point Smokers organiza-
ton, modelled loosely on the Short Snort

to produce mustach clearly visible at

One eventual outcome of this war
might be what Western Air Lines, adopt
ing the 24-hour clock, calls "global time"
This is the logical system in use already
by the armed services and Pan American
air lines, which starts at l o'clock and
winds up with % o'clock.
Changeover to the system would have
both advantages and disadvantages. One
Of the former is that it would do away
with the major difficulty In reading
transportation time tables There would
be no more dark face for p. m. and light
face for a. m An hour after midnight
would be o'clock, while an hour after
noon would be l3 o'clock

writer in the Christian Science Mon
itor says; with the disappearance Of
autos from our rural highways and by
ways, will the church horse-sheds still
left standing come again unto their own?
Shall l be able once more to sit in my
grandfather's pew by the window and
from that vantage point watch the horses
in their sunny stalls impatiently waiting
to be unhitched and headed toward
home?" What familiar picture this
question suggests to many. Some Of the
old horse sheds, no doubt, are seen on
small town church property in parts OF
New England but most of our village and
town churches now have cement drives,
the sheds are gone, and there is space in
the streets for cars to park. However,
most of us can remember or have had
the picture described to us many time
and oft of the long row of horse-sheds.
Also remembered is the slow peaceful
ride over country roads to church in the
surrey with the fringe on top as one
of the newest songs of the day describes
it,
