May Take
Away Gas
Ration Books

A great amount of public resent
ment has been heard of late in re-
spect to reckless driving by certain
youths in the city. This has been
increased by the recent killing Of
man when struck by a car driven
by minor.
Complaints lodged with officials
are vigorous, to say the least. One
man who was recently called out
late in the evening saw a car,
driven by youths. tearing around
town without any lights. 1t is also
reported that another car was driv-
en- through Dexter Park over the
footpath Other numerous reports
complain of driving in excess of the
speed limit, others of racing on the
streets by youths.
In order to reduce this menace
to public safety, it has been decided
that such violations will no longer
be tolerated. Anyone hereafter
charged with reckless driving will
be given a hearing and If the result
justifies the action, the rationing
board announces such ones gas
ration book will be taken from him
and he will thereafter be unable
to secure gasoline. This action will
apply to anyone found guilty of
reckless driving regardless of age.
Full authority to take away ones
gas ration book is vested in local
rationing boards.

Miss Ruth Steinmeyer, general
field representative from the office
of the Red Cross at St. Louis, was
in Libby Tuesday and Wednesday
last week. She met with the Red
Cross officials in Troy in the after
noon on Wednesday and with those
in Libby on Wednesday evening.
Representatives from the Civilian
Defense also attended the meeting.
During the rest of her time here
she conferred with different heads
of departments. At the evening
meeting Miss Steinmeyer talked on
what the home service does at home
and for the boys abroad. In discuss
ing disaster preparedness she gave
as an example the recent Oklahoma
flood and explained the procedure
of the Red Cross in these cases.
She believes Japan will try to at
tack the u. S., possibly along the
Alaskan highway, which will bring
this part of Montana in line of at
tack. In consequence she urged both
the Red Cross and the Civilian De-
Tense to make plans for an emer-

Evening star., 1943-10-04

Britain and France to see what was happening
under their noses? They were close by-after all.
we were 5000 miles away.
Did the British and French resume the building
OF their own armament to enforce the terms
OF the Versailles Treaty? Did they stop Hitler
when he marched into the Rhneland? Or did the
British conservatives, anxious to preserve their
capital and their trade join with the British paci-
fists in ignoring the threat to the world of new
aggressor? Wasn't selfish materialism more i'm
portant then to the British and to ourselves?
Didn't we by action of both houses of Congress in
1885 pass law, signed by President Roosevelt
just before his second election-which barred the
weak democraces from getting arms from our
shores? Of what avail resolutions about world
peace when, after winning great war and disarm-
ing the enemy the victorious conquerors allow
their military forces to dsintegrate and refuse to
allow their arsenals to be used to meet the threats
OF tyrants wherever they arise?
Was the British foreign policy in respect to
Italian aggression in Ethiopia in respect to Tapa-
nese aggression in Manchuria in respect to the noble
efforts of the loyalists in Spain, foreign policy
which thoughtful Americans approved then or now?
Are we asked to accept that kind of Character-less
behavior as the basis for future alliance?
There were in Britain then, as there are today.
men of Character who cried out at this chauvinisr
who begged for different distribution of economic
resources in the postwar world of the 2Os for
peace built not on hate or revenge but on the Ten
Commandments and the Golden Rule-based on
tolerance, mutual respect, unselfishness and
honesty.
We do not need more resolutions. We need
humbleness, penltence, re-examination of our true
motives, and the courage to rehabilitate the con-
quered as we'll to restrain the conquerors.
We need, in BRIEF dedication to spiritual values
and commitment not just to the words or rituals
but to the actual practice of Christian philosophy
For the key to Character is to be found in confess
sion of error and re-appraisal of inner purposes
and not in denuncations or hypocritical phrases.
We must honestly recognize that neither we nor
the British the Russians are the sole proprietors
of this world but merely temporary trustees obe-
dient to the will of God. He created human beings
everywhere equal-not to live under master rulers
or system of vested privileges. He gave to all
persons irrespective of creed color the right to
enjoy freedom of opportunity-the inalienable right
to life, liberty and the pursuit Of happiness.
The Covenant of the League of Nations still lives.
1t is built into the existing treaty structure of a.
nations Let the United States ratify that Covenant
and pray God to G i've us the will and the courage
to make it at last an effective instrument of inter-
national cooperation. For by it's provisions special
alliances are expressly forbidden and instead, the
member nations are equally obligated to use all
their force and resources against aggressor states
whether members or non-ruembers-to enforce
and maintain the peace of the world

And So We Resolve Again.

We have resolved through the Atlantic Charter.
We have resolved through the Mackinac Charter.
We have resolved through the Fulbright resolu-
tion
We have resolved by presidential declaration to
establish the -four Reconsideration of speech,
freedom of religion freedom from fear and freedom
from want.
And we have said that there shall be no more war,
that aggression shall and that righteous nations
must band together to enforce the peace by every
means at their disposal.
. We have resolved again to make Tasting peace"
But of what avail these resolutions when the
ones made in the midst of World War were
rendered meaningless after the war?
Anybody drafting postwar resolution or en-
deavoring to set up charter for world association
organization to maintain peace is respectfully
ferred to the speeches. resolutions, round-robin petit
tions, and pledges made by both Republican and
Democratic spokesn1en in and out of Congress in 1918
and 1919.
Anybody seeking to preserve American sover-
eighty against is respectfully referred
to the debates in the Senate preceding the vote
the League of Nations Covenant which was offered
as an integral part of the Versailles Treaty.
And anybody wishing to find all the words and the
phrases needed to commit the nations of the world
by national international police force-to respect
and preserve the territorial integrity and indepen-
dence of every country, large and small, need only
read again Article Ten of that same Covenant
OF the League of Nations.
We said all that could be said at the end of the last
We adopted constitution for the world which
had in it every element of moral and physical obga-
ton. The League Covenant remains today as splen-
did expression of world deasn and practical COL
laboration as it was when President Woodrow Will
submitted it to the Senate in 1919 only to have it
rejected by coalition of Democrats and Republicans
though accepted by Britain and France and subse-
quently, by Russia and Germany.
1t is not resolutions with highsounding phrases
that we lack.
We need only word. And that word-trans-
lated into actuality-is Character.
Of what avail are resolutions pledges promises or
virtuous expressions if elected leaders are not
ready yet to sacrifice the customary political
of the hour the personal ambitions, the quest
for material gain and the greed for autocratc power
which today yesterday to dominate the gov
ernnents of the principal allies in this war?
We are failing today not in the writing of general
resolutions but to be frank about our postwar aims
frank with own people or with the people of
other countries.
American people who have learned something about
foreign policy these last twenty years.
Nor should we be deceived by the cry that America
has had foreign policy for fifty years but
that the British have had foreign policy and that
the answer to the worlds ills now is new military
and political partnership with Great Britain.
The truth rather is that the American people
not ready to accept imperialism and the British
people are not yet ready to abandon imperialism.
