The Veterans Of Foreign Wars
favor military training for all young
men, and adopted resolution to
that effect while in convention in
Spokane recently. This conviction is
spreading throughout the nation. A
few months each year for few
years devoted to military training
would harm no one. Instead, it
would prepare the young men Of the
nation to defend their country in
case Of need. 1t would benefit them
physically and, best Of all it would
give them disciplinary training,
many Of whom have never had the
benefits Of wise discipline. 1t would
make better men Of them.
Almost without exception organ
izations composed of veterans favor
this policy. They see it as a needed
protection for the nation and as a
protection against the possible need
Of throwing unframed young men
into a war only to be slaughtered
because Of their lack of training.
By all means, let US have military
training for all young men as a ma
tional policy after this war.

Little Interest Shown

The excitation Of war is apparent
ly killing interest in politics this
year. Last week this newspaper
pointed out that there was little in
terest by candidates in national
state and judicial offices The same
lack Of interest has been shown in
county offices, as shown by results
now that the expiration date for
filing candidates. has passed.
In the primary election there will
be no contests SO far as county of
fees are concerned. On both the
republican and democratic tickets
only one candidate seeks nomination
for each of the offices of state rep
resentative, county commissioner
and county attorney. All of those
candidates will be unopposed in the
primary election, and one of them
in the general election. Others will
of course, have to fight it out with
opponents in the general election
This lack of interest is shown in
the fact that in previous years from
four to six men would often aspire
to be county commissioners on each
ticket, and often two or more would
seek nominations as state represent
alive and county attorney
There are probably several rea-
sons why this condition exists at
the present time. Men and women
can earn more money in other en-
ployment. All who desire to work
are employed and the absorption
caused by war smothers interest in
more prosaic things such as politics

More people would take more
interest in the problem Of the grow
ing Federal debt if they were told
frankly that unless the solvency of
the government is maintained, ev-
cry war bond will be worthless.
They should be told frankly that
buying bonds will not save the
country from bankruptcy. But there
is a way to keep out of bankruptcy
by paying taxes and by rigid gov
eminent economy. Everyone who
owns a war bond, a life insurance
policy or dollar of savings has a
direct interest in this problem. 1t
IS no longer matter for "the other
guy to worry about.
1t is now estimated that before
the present war is over the Federal
debt may reach the staggering sum
So, 900, 0O0,000,000. If this could be

Incredible Folly

Amony many lessons the people
of the United States have undoubt-
eddy learned because of recent
events, we hope there is one they
will never forget, and a mistake
they will never repeat. 1t is that,
in response to some rosy -colored
dream of the arrival Of Utopia, they
will never again take steps to de-
stroy our national defenses while
all Of history proves the millennium
is still in the far distant future.
Every reasonable thing should be
done in cooperation with other ma
tons to work out world peace, but
in striving for that desirable end let
us be mighty careful we do not
weaken ourselves while potential
enemies are becoming stronger.
A thoughtful article appears in
the last issue of the Saturday Ev-
ening Post by James Forrestal, Sec
rotary of the Navy, under the title
Will We Choose Naval Suicide
Again." He shows how it has al
ways been the policy Of this nation
to let its navy deteriorate in times
OF peace. But the folly of all follies
was that following the first World
War when the United States joined
in what was hoped would be world
disarmament. We we'll remember
that time and how unwise we
thought the scrapping OF our navy
was. In complying with the agree
ments Of the Naval Disarmament
