La Toilette Accuses
Both Parties Of Silence
On Foreign Policy

Both Democratic and Republican
candidates for the presidency were
accused by Senator La Toilette, Pro-
gressive, of Wisconsin, OF entering q
conspiracy of silence" on vital post
war issues in foreign policy. HI
called for program based on Amer
lean democratic principles.
At the same time, in another fielc
of foreign relations, the Foreign Pol
icy Association, in its semimonthly
report, called for international post
war supervision of cartels. The re-
port recommended an international
economic tribunal with which all
agreements, both governmental and
private, for the production or distri-
button of commodities would be reg
istered and given publicity.
Break With Imperialism Urged.
Senator La Follette's charges were
made in an editorial in the current
issue of his weekly magazine, the
Progressive. Declaring that sit is
time for America to break away
from the imperial designs of Mr.
Churchill and the Soviet drive for
power of Mr.. Stalin," the Progress
sive leader alleged that neither
President Roosevelt nor Gov. Dewey
had denounced the present motley
assortment of political expedients,
compromises with imperialism and
concessions to power politics which
lead only to future wars"
1T is time for America to show
Europe that the choice is not be-
tween Communism and chaos" he
said. ut is time to prove that
democracy is the great alternative
to both. =
"It is time for America to use Our
bargaining power to wiring demo-
cratic, anti-imperialistic concessions
from our allies so that we can stand
up to all the peoples of the world
and prove that the Four Freedoms
were more than mere wartime ora
tory"
Regulation Of CarteIs Asked.
The Foreign Policy Association s
report on cartels, written by Grant
r. Mccullough of the association S
research staff, said 'it is essential
that insofar as cartels exhibit the
antisocial practices of monopoly
they must be adequately regulated"
After suggesting the interna-
tional tribunal, the report con-
tinued:
Were such an international eco
nomic tribunal with the requisite
powers of supervision created, full
publicity. would be afforded to the
various commodity controls and
industrial agreements. This alone
would go far to correct some of the
abuses with which the private in

Young Widow Winner
In Essay Contest

In a recent essay contest spon-
sored by the Smith Henderson :
Edmonds Post American Legion
Auxiliary, the first prize in the
Richard Montgomery High School
was won by Mrs. Willie Notnagle
Richards, a graduate in the class
1914.
The subject, "Pioneer Patterns
for the Nation of Tomorrow" was
designed to encourage the students
to give definite thought to post
war planning both for America
and the entire world.
Mrs. Richards essay was deem
ed best by a committee of Auxil-
larry members who commended her
article for its definite aims and
specific plans. 1t is of interest
to note that Mrs. Richards hus-
band, Sgt. Earl B. Richards, Jr.,
was killed by enemy action this
spring during mission made by
the bomber of which he was waist
gunner. Sgt. and Mrs. Richards
were married last fall and when he
left for overseas service, she con-
tinued her schooling and received
her diploma in June 1914.
Her essay follows:
Pioneer Patterns For The Nation
OF Tomorrow
We are fighting today for Sc
curity, progress and for peace. We
are fighting not only for ourselves
but for all men and all genera
tions. After this job is done, and
we have cleansed the world OF
ancient evils, we will have many
problems to solve. Among these
many important problems, is the
one of modern education.
1t was recently stated that g
large percentage of our men failed
to pass the mental examination, re-
quired for the armed forces, be
cause they lacked education. Thi:
war has proved that an educated
man makes a better fighter thar
an ignorant man. Therefore, oul
government is convinced that more
education must be made available
to our citizens. 1t was suggested
that our deserving soldiers who re
turned from the war should bt
given an opportunity to go tt

Thus, it would also give us ;
