Russian hold in North America

we closed the last chapter in
SPANS long rule. We have

DUT we have complacently

European empire" islands in
the Caribbean, that are still
British, French and Dutch, and
the Guianas.
These small possessions rep
resented no menace TO us from
the European states that owned
them.
Now that we have bases in
them we are no longer menaced
by their possible seizure by ac-
tual or potential enemies.
These bases now cover the
entire Atlantic coast hundreds

They provide protection to
the Panama Canal.

Sokolsky

the American business man and
the American housewife have
grown dizzy trying tn keep pace
with the trials and tally up the
errors.
"The trial and error method
has been used by the Owl
and the American press, voicing
the dissatisfaction Of the Ameri-
can people, has been unani-
mously clamoring for the resto-
ration of its age old privilege of
giving the people the day by
day happenings of the world, re-
stricted only by genuinely neces-
sary war time limitations"

WHENEVER I see Bill JEFF
W fers, I feel my feet firm on
the soil of America. It is a curl
Gus sensation. this Mpnotism of
solidity. Some men are Of granite
and the ups-and-downs of life
make no impress upon them.
For instance, when the Ameri-
can Irish Historical Society pre-
sented Bill letters with a medal
for his distinguished services. he
asked 10 share it posthumously
with his father. Bills father
had never risen above the posi-
ton of day laborer on the rail-
road of which his son is now the
preSident-but to man OF Bills
solidity of character, that inn
migrant day laborer was the
author of any advantages Bill
may today possess.
No man is self made. He is
family made; he is the product
of the love and character of a
man and a woman, a husband
and a wife, father and mother.
And so Bill letters could say
OF men like his father-men of
the soil and of clean living,
often in poverty but never in
dependence:
"a. they built hom e s--not
houses-hOmes, and these homes,
the backbone of American sta
bility, were their seriously ac-
cepted responsibility and they
carried that responsibility man
fully through life.
S1I'HEY built churches and
Il they revered religion
and they practiced it. They
battled whole heartedly on poll
teal questions but with an eye
always on the good of America.
They came here because they
believed in America and, once
planted here, they kept the
faith"
IL was such men who built
our country from the Mayflower
10 this day and they built well
and firmly because they built
into the soil. They let down
deep and strong roots. They
were unlike the mystical eX-
ponentS of the trial and error
method who bring to us fan
taStic confuSionS. But let Bill
Jeners speak Of them:
These national problems; ar
tificially expanded and compli-
Gated, discourage common

Answer to Question No. 2

It seems doubtful This inn
portant question was studied by
psychologist Frances Rodgers
of Iowa University. She had
competent art judges rate the
merit of the art work of school
children. She then rated their
home environment--number of
art books. pictures. type Of fur
niture, opportunity 10 visit art
galleries. etc. She found the
best and the worst artists were
just as likely TO come from one
home environment as the other.
