A crop of 32,000,000, the largest on reported by the Government for 1939 year The private automobile driver should study the record and ways of the commercial driver of motor vehicles. According to our information, accident fa- talities for trucks have dropped 29 per cent and for buses 41 per cent during the past two years. In the same period passenger car fatalities have increased 21 per cent. There is a reason for the greater safety nf the commercial group. It was in 1927 that a great safety crusade was started among them, with prizes for clean records and with safety engineers training drivers. Their efforts are getting results. Incidentally, this group combines courtesy ‘toward other drivers with its careful driving. If it can be done by truck and bus drivers it can certainly be done by others Officials are watching carefully for evidence of closer co-operation between Russia and Germany and the fact is gaining ground that the pact be- tween these powers represents a closer alliance than was at first suspected. It has been disclosed that the Soviet government is endeavoring to purchase 10.- 000 tons of rubber in this country, presumably for Germany, because Russia is not short of this essen- tial material for warfare. Reports from Russia indi- cate that the Soviet. with its army mobilized, has no considerable quantities of war supplies, petroleum or foodstuffs to furnish Germany, but it appears that efforts will be made to purchase supplies for Ger- many outside Europe and pass them into Russia where they can avoid the British blockade Refterated statements that the United States will inevitably get into the European War and that the lifting of the arms embargo is the first step to- wards active participation in the struggle, has been promptly and thoroughly denied by President Roosevelt who said that the warnings sounded in and out of Congress by “orators and commentators and others beating their breasts and proclaiming against sending the boys of American mothers to fight on the battlefields of Europe” represent “one of the worst fakes in current history” Continuing, Mr. Roosevelt sald: “The facts of the international situation—the simple fact without any bogey in it, without any appeals to prejudice—is that the United Btates, as I have said before, is neutral and does not intend to get involved in war” One of the Administration's most effective weap- ens in the House neutrality battle was supplied by the home town of Senator Arthur Vandenberg, one of the bitterest opponents of the President. It con- sisted of a full-page advertisement in the Orand Rapids Herald, of which Vandenberg once was edi- tor and publisher, vigorously calling on Congress to repeal the arms embargo in order to preserve the peace of the country. The ad was paid for and sign- ed by 76 of the principal business men of the city Among the first names on the list was that of John Wood Blodgett, multi-millionaire philanthropist and treasurer of the Vandenberg-for-President Club. They have it figured out that 7.000.000 people in this country took out hunting licenses this year. No wonder that game is shy, and that the wild critters rush for their holes whenever they hear a rustling in the bushes. With 7.000000 gunners out hunting game, some of them shooting off their weapons without adequate care, hunting is not always a safe proposition. Those who discharge those weapons whenever the bushes move, need preliminary training shooting at a mark in some open pasture, Mean- while, If there is to be game left in this country, many of the 7.000000 hunters need to realize that game laws are something more than a plous wish. Certain little known facts surrounding the re- cent Italian cabinet shakeup indicate that the swing away from Germany was more violent than indi- cated. Real boss of the Italian armed forces, after Mussolini, was and remains the “iron man” Bodog. lio. Now close to 80 years of age, the general, who once asked the king of Italy for permission to use one platoon of troops to mop up the Fascist upstarts, has always been the potential military governor of any counter-Fascist uprising. Mussolini's sincere un- fon with the royal house caused Bodoglio to go along but Eascism hag Jong wondered whether, in a crisis, py COE IER SMR BR army officers of the old school would follow I1 Duce or the World War general, In the recent shake-up Bodoglio entered the supreme war council, on a par. ity with the king and the premier, Both he and the second highest military figure, General Graziani, have two things in common-—a cordial dislike for German influence in Italy with a considerable per- ronal following In conservative Italian circles, What was a changing of the guard was also a degree of eppeasement of public opinion A Jury in the Dauphin county court last week found a woman guilty of violating the liquor law, and at the same time asked the Court to reprimand the enforcement officers on their method of con ducting investigations. In this case the agents had gone with some women to the premises of the de. fendant where they made purchases of beer and liquor. The officers claimed they resorted to these tactics to avoid detection, but the jury objected to the method employed. It does seem there should be honorable methods employed at least in enforeing the law IMPORTANT AND WELL DONE (Harrisburg Patriot) With final enactment of the Nation's new neu- trality policy, there comes to every well informed itizen a new sense of security against being dragged into the European war. That Congress reflected public opinion is scarcely open to question In both houses, the bill passed even greater majorities than forecast It is always important in matters of foreign pol- fey that the Nation's action should reflect a united country. There was opposition to the policies for one reason or another, as the debate and the roll calls illustrate, but this was not substantial enough to persuade the world that America is divided over the has set for itself those whose democracies and against European struggle—and whose are not—there Is spe satisfaction over the work of Congress. It means that the United States without sacrificing its neutrality, opens its markets all who will meet its terms. It is the terms which are designed to keep the nation out of war.

Such measures are security measures The President's program in this instance was thoroughly sound and American.

Some. body will have to find job for them, but if the ex. ample of the governor were followed an employer with the same partisan political prejudices as his iid employ persons entirely on political grounds, Of course, in this great country of ours the employer is that petty He has a falrer and more attitude than this. It is the man who counts the employer. The employer's understanding and sympathy go farther than that of any child of political fortune or expediency. Unfortunately, there is a contrasting philosophy in business and political life when it comes to giving a job. The liberality is all on the side of the employer 10 whom the govern. or appeals Obviously, if his excellency doesnt find jobs for those to whom he is applying the political version if the “hot-foot,” privately owned and operated bus. inesses will not be a copycat, Instead business men will continue to make every effort to maintain the working forces now on their payrolls and, as it be. possible, add to their rolls from among the The governor's exemplification of political yanism will have no weight whatsoever with the employer.

Earlier this year, when the war in Europe seem- ed inevitable, the people of the United States and Congress in particular, began to take notice of the national defenses It was generally assumed that the outbreak of hostilities would result in a widespread war, with Germany and Italy. at least, one one side, and Great Britain and Prance, at least, on the other, It was also assumed that Germany, Italy and Japan would work together in their attempts to secure what they desired. In considering this situation, there was a gen. ral belief In the United States that, if Germany, Italy and Japan would make good their demands by the defeat of their enemies in Europe, the time would come when the three powers, possibly acting together, would attempt aggressive action in the Western Hemisphere With this idea in mind, the officials of the United States, responsive to public opinion, began to think in terms of a two-ocean defense. It wag real ized that such a combination of aggressive nations would confront the United States with a serious menace, Consequently, plans for adequate national defense were considerably broadened so that exten sive enlargements were immediately ordered for the Army, Navy and the aerial forces of both branches of the service Moreover, other steps were taken to Insure an adequate supply of necessary materials and the con. struction of a number of bases to serve the Army, Navy and air forces. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been allocated for these purposes in order to tisnke sure that this country will be able to protect itself and its interests against any possible combin. ation: of enemies in the future, Inasmuch as these steps were taken because of a doubt as to what conditions would confront this country after a European war, it might be a good idea to review the situation. To begin with, the war has not developed into the general conflagration which was expected. There has been no joint action on the part of Italy and Japan to act in concert with Germany. This is reassuring, but its import is somewhat dimmed by the unexpected collaboration of Soviet Russia, which seems to be in league with Germany for the purpose of advancing their ends in the world. The national defense needs of this country are hardly altered by developments which have occurred since the regular session of Congress. The line-up in the world-wide struggle for power is not conclu- sive and it remains to be seen whether Japan and Italy will decide to work with Germany. Consequent. ly, the United States faces the necessity of prepar- ing a thoroughly adequate system of national de- fense, Including the full execution of the extensive measures already authorized, In a world where law and order are wobbling badly, it does not behoove any nation to depend upon anything except its own sirengih lor.
