State Patrolmen

That Whatever criticism may be

to its main function. and indicate it
is covering itself INTO a state police
force.
That trend IS unmistakable and
dangerous, but it is isn't the patrols
fault. In most such cases the fun re
cord shows that the presiding Judge
issued bench warrants and turned
them over to the patrol for service
or that the local law enforcement
Officers impressed patrolmcn into
service. Since the highway patrol is
supported by highway revenue, mot
oristS who pay the gasoline TAX have
right TO object to such diversion of
their funds, But analysis Of e>lst-
ing statutes shows that it is the
"svstem" rather than the patrol that
is to blame for the practice.

SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE MUST
STEM BACK BEYOND ARMS

(RlVefSlQe DAILY f1SSS)
Arms alone cannot defend democracy.
This is increasingly clear as allied armies
move relentlessly toward victory on the
Russian front, in the South Pacific is
lands and although more slowly, up
through the Italian hills and valleys.
Disagreement on postwar plans at
home and abroad can wreck the unity
of the United Nations. Even as we fight
for freedom with arms, divisive enemy
ideas move in behind the lines and occu-
py unseen the minds and hearts of men.
Our desperate need in this unseen bat
tie is for men and women in every walk
of life who will fight for principle fear
lessly, tirelessly, intelligently. Selfish
ness is the greatest single factor work
ing to break down democracy and create
dictatorship. The constant struggle is
against the selfshness of men and wom-
en- who will not accept responsibility for
controlling their demands on the COM
munity, and so compel control from
above
The answer to selfishness is not the
firepower of weapons, but the power to
kindle in the hearts and homes of every
body an inner fire no man can put out
Those who learn at home to consider
the needs of other members of the fam
lily are not likely to cause rlftS IN tne
national family. In homes warmed by
this unselfish spirit, dictatorship fades
and democracy becomes a workable and
durable proposition.
Sound homes are thus the best defense
against dictatorship and the strongest
bulwark of democracy. They produce
the character and inner control which
free men from the need for outer COM
pulson. Men from such homes give VOL
unatrily more to the common good than
any legislation or postwar planning can
compel They will stand together to
promote this common veal when no long
er held together by the bonds of common
danger.

BY CONGRESSMAN John Phillips

Looking through some old clip
pings the other day, getting ready
to file them in the round metal
file which stands on the floor be-
side the desk, l found this bit of
philosophy II was in My Day of
October Is, 1910. "At present there
is waste everywhere, but then we
can still afford to be wasteful.'
l doubt if any comment is neces-
essary in this column. Great Brit
ain has probably thrown itself into
this war more completely than
any other nation. It's per capita
expenditure is about $500 per year;
its per capita tax is about $3.50.
The United States is spending at
the rate of $846 per capita, and
taxing federal taXes) at rate
of about $440 per person. If any
one wants to know how we can
keep on speno ing twice as much
as we take in, it's done with mir
rorS.

she was here, sent out several hun

advice to you to learn these things
as quickly as possible SO that you
will understand what should be

Cordially yours" John Phillips
1t seems a far day from Thomas
jefferson and his belief that, just
as an individual father cannot
ALLEVIATE the labor of his son, so
the aggregate body of fathers
should not ALLEVIATE the labor OF
all of their sons, and obligate them
"to pay for all the enterprises, just
or unjust, profitable or ruinous.
into which our vices, our passions,
or our personal interests may lead
us" Such a proportion, said Mr..
jefferson, needs only to be looked
at by an American to be seen in
its true point of view, and we
shall all consider ourselves unauth-
orized to saddle posterity with our
debts, and morally bound to pay
them for ourselves" I do not think
we can pay for such an extrava-
gance as the present global war
out of our current income; but
certainly we should try not to
throw the money away; I honestly
do not believe that I'VE can still
afford to be Wasteful.'
Woodrow Wilson said, in a speech
before the New York Press Club,
September 8. 1912, Liberty has
never come from the government.
Liberty has always come from the
subject of it. The history of liberty
is a history of resistance. The his
tory of liberty is history OF liml-
tation of governmental power, not
the increase OF it.

ENOUGH OIL
FOR 1000 YEARS
(Santa Monica Outlook

(Santa Monica Outlook)
Authorities for the statement that the
supply of oil will be exhausted in a few
decades should meet and settle their
differences of opinion with the Oil Heat
Institute of America.
Speakers at the institutes annual meet
ing held recently in New York estimated
that the worlds oil resources are Suffi-
cient to meet normal. peacetime needs for
more than 1000 years. The pessimists
among them thought the earth's oil
would be gone by 1915 AID. but a COM
mittee reported that by $500 AID, "We
should be getting toward the end of our
presently visible supply
An institute optimist figured that the
worlds proved reserves are about three
times the amount already produced, and
that probably there are nearly six times
as much oil in areas where there are in
dicationS of oil-bearing sand as the
amount that has been produced and is in
proved reserves.
For the sake of the publicS peace of
mind. the experts of the various schools
should get together and agree on the
probabilities 1t makes great deal of
difference whether the worlds oil sup
ply is beginning to run out, or will last
for a thousand or several thousand years.

NEIGHBOR AIM
NOW GLOBULAR

The United States is coming out
of this war with more power than
it ever had before-the greatest
economic and military machine II
the world.
AS strength breeds enemies, the
United States is going TO need
friends.
People in government have there
fore begun to think about the post
war problem of maintaining good
relations with the rest of the world.
Specifically, the Department Of
State has asked the President to
ask Congress to amend the good
neighbor act of 1899, so that more
of this same good neighborliness
may be extended to other nations
of the world, outside Latin Amerl-
ca.
Hearings on this proposal are
scheduled 10 open soon before the
House Committee on Foreign At
fairs and Rep. James w. WadS-
worth OF New York is already prom
iSing Republican opposition. So
what's it all about?
The charge will be made that
this is another scheme to spend a
lot of money and spread the New
Deal all over the world. 1t will be
called an international WPA. 1t
may be branded an effort to pei
petuate UNRRA or set up a new
co-ordinator, not of just Inter-
American, but of World Affairs.
In short, it will be called global-
oney.
When you ask at the Department
of State for specific examples of
what this broac ened good neighbor
policy may get the United States
into, you come up with definite re-
quests that have already been made
to the United States by foreign
governments.

There are six non-sectarian A
merican colleges in the Middle East,

1905. Robert College in Turkey
has asked to expand American en-
gineer:ag training for the Turkish

Ethiopia has asked for military
engineer, a road builder, and a

simply to center all such activities

the work a definite appropriation

resents only one phase of the cul-
