With the building in place, and most of the expense already met, it couldn t re. quire a great outlay to re-open and re-furnish the building. The State's exhibit was quite creditable last year—and the government at Harrisburg must be hard-up indeed, should it plead Inability to finance it for another year Suicide by prisoner in a Danville jail just a few hours before he was taken to the electric chair is the subject of investigation by pub- lic authority. It ought to be. Bomewhere along the line therc has been neglect or weakness in prison administration. The same thing is suggested by the tunnel operations in the Eastern penitentiary, now the subject of another inquiry. Jail breaks from all over the nation indicale 8ls0 a fault in prison ad- ministration that needs correction revolver of a One of the severest snow storms on record hit the city of New York this month and almost before the flakes had stopped falling, nearly 30.000 men were working to clear the streels. Some idea of the magnitude of the undertaking is seen In the esti- mated cost of more than $2,000,000 for the labor necessary to clear away the snow of the heavy storm. This is one of the prices that men have to pay for modern civilization. The same amount of snow. falling in an agricultural section, would cost nothing for removal. The sun and warmer temper- ature, would, in time, do the work free. The big cities. however, cannot wait for nature to handle the job. The fast pace of the lives of its people requires immediate action England's seizure of a German prison ship within a Norwegian base and the rescue of 400 Britishers will become another tradition in the navy and likewise a thistle in international law. The at- tack was unquestionably a dramatic one, employing as it did the grappling hooks and other devices of close range naval warfare of preceding centuries. As to the law in the case, well, that is something else again, One can understand Germany's rage and Norway's anxiety over it. There is a short cut, however, to any argument that might arise ashore All one has to do is to ask an American group what it would have done, had those prisoners on the Alt- mark been Americans and the Stars and Stripes floating above the destroyers that sighted the Ger man ship. Eleven of the largest western railroads will be- gin a new travel service in May when they will make available to passengers on their trains a combina tion automobile service which will permit long train trips to be broken by part-time travel in auto- mobiles. The service will begin in May in more than one hundred and fifty key cities where the railroads will have two thousand automobiles available for hire at approximately eight cents a mile regardless of whether they are used by one or five persons. The rate includes gasoline and all charges and are sub- ject to certain minimums, beginning at eighty cents an hour, six dollars per twelve-hour day and twenty- eight dollars per week. This looks like a step In the direction of developing more business for the rail. roads. It represents intelligence in meeting com- petition and there is no reason why it should not be serviceable and profitable to the railroads and thelr customers HELP FINLAND'S PEOPLE The people of Centre county along with other citizens of the United States express sympathy for the Finnish Republic in its fight against overwhelm- ing odds. By this time, they should know that the Pinnish Relief Fund, Incorporated, headed by Herbert Hoo- ver, former President and organizer and National Chairman of the Pund, is actively soliciting contribu- tions for the relief of civillan distress caused by the Boviet Invasion. All money contributed will be available for re- lief to the Finnish population. All expenses in con- nection with the eampaign in this country are borne by special funds provided by certain persons for that The Pinnish Relief Pund attempts to help Fin. land in all emergencies that are included under the head of public charity. Mr. Hoover says that the im- mediate emergency is destitution and the care of refugees arising from the evacuation of several hun. dred thousand civilians, mostly women and children, from the towns and fighting areas. Money contribut. ed in this country to aid the civilian population re- lleves the Pinnish Government of some of its bur. den and permits it to concentrate all resources on the fighting front. An effort is being made to secure contributions to the Pinnish Relief Pund throughout the United States. An organization has been effected in Centre county and our people are asked to make a contri. bution to this worthy cause. Certainly, we should recognize that sympathy for Finland is important but without effect against the vast armies of Soviet Russia, Sympathy may comfort the destitute civilans bul it does not feed ——— them nor provide treatment for their wounds, There are numbers of people ready to denounce the “Communists” as the perils of civilization, Here is 0 chance to do something about the defense of the ideals that Red Russia assalls, The Finns are fight. ing. If you believe that “Communism” is the enemy of the world, make a donation to the Finnish Re- Hef Pund As President Roosevelt said in his talk to the members of the American Youth Congress, Finland is a democracy and forward-looking democracy at that, What does it avail her in her hour of need? Will all the peace-loving, Independence-loving eo- ples of the world fold their hands and say: “It's Finland's fight?” THE ELEPHANT LABORS; RESULT— A SCRAWNY MOUSE (The Lancaster Intelligencer. Journal) The G. O. P. elephant labored for two full years and the result is a mouse and a mighty scrawny mouse at that For two full years the Republican Party, through several hundred of ls best brains, led by Dr. Glenn Frank, worked and tolled and labored. after taking soundings, to prepare a report that would be emble- matic of what the Republicans are going to support and what a report; 28.000 words most which echoes back—nothing—only that and no more The committee's report calls for a reduction of twenty per cent in federal expenditures out of 138 per cent which it is claimed the Democrats raised the budget. If the Republicans, upon promise, cannot reach a higher total than twenty per cent by prom- ise, what will they actually be-—-nothing; only that and no more Then goes on the report: keep out of war, Who is for not keeping out of the war in Europe! Power- ful defenses! We are reaching that goal as rapidly as it can be done. Expand foreign trade. The Hull trade treaties are doing that, war or no war. The best they can offer on expanded trade is doing it the good old Hawley-Smoot way, National Labor Relations, for amendment there to make the present law more workable. We commend the thought. Farm situa- tion—keep production up and prices up without sub- sidiging.

Business courses are provided. Manual training is furnished to a limited degree. Home €co- nomics is practical training for many girls. Voca. tional agriculture is provided in some instances What the critic was shooting at, perhaps was that more of the young people should be given this training, and their curriculums arranged to sult their needs. But the criticisin overlooked the In. sistente of some parents that their children, al. though manifestly unfiited for professional] careers for instance, must have a college course along those lines, although they would be more successful, and happy, doing the kind of work for which their men. tal equipment is best suited. Another handicap, of course, for a great many youngsters is that the apprentice system Is practi. cally gone, for several reasons One of them Is the attitude of labor unions, but the principal one is the demand of youth for a job which will provide them with bigger pay at the start and enable them to satisfy the desire to own and run an automobile and engage in pleasures which earlier youth had to pass up until they were trained fo do useful work which commanded better pay Gone are the days when a youth who wants to Le a mechanic, for mstance, will devote four years to thorough training for such a job. This ls the reason we find 80 many of the mechanics trained in European countries are so much superior to our own in many instances. WHY DO THE JAPANESE HALT? Recent news dispatches indicate that military cbservers believe that the Japanese invasion of Ching has become s0 extended that it taxes the power of the Japanese army lo maintain positions now held, precluding any serious undertaking to conguer the balance of China. This implies that the effort of Japan has ex- hausted the resources of the nation and that China, if she continues the struggle, will eventually oust the invaders. Of course, the Japanese by retrench- ment, can take advantage of time to rebuild the re. serves that have been depleted and it is possible that the empire will remain strong enough to with. stand any effort of the Chinese to reclaim captured territory. The viewpoint of the military men may not be entirely correct, It is possible that the Japanese, for. seeing new difficulties ahead, such as complications with the United States, realize that a halt must be made, temporarily at least, in China while the em- pire waits for developments, The Chinese venture must be stabilized in order that the full energy of the nation may be directed toward new perils, THE “ONE-TWO PLAN" If you haven't heard of the “One-Two Plan” you are not aware of the latest proposal that is be. ing promoted in the three Pacific Coast States, Briefly, the plan proposes: One vote for all el. gible citizens; two votes for all citizeng eligible to vote who can show a real estate or income tax re- ceipt in their name. The plan is designed to give property owners an increased :trength at the polis in order to protect their property from what they consider “wild-cat” taz=tion. The proposal originated with Otto Witiwer, a Beattie manufacturer of cosmetics and 1s now sup. ported by memberships costing $1 or as much more as the members contribute. Promoters do not give out the membership enroliment but a radio program indicates that there has been a generous response, of tead of We are Republican es for mean at only on re. fh. on the country want udy for social security age says will produce enough thousand the 1] THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PX. .
