RIAL EO TER ply The war news almost pushed the third term issue to the inside pages. Mussolini probably understands that it is easier to get into a war than to get out of one Our personal sense of neutrality is just the same now as it was in September; we don’t care who beats Germany. Alf Landon tells Kansas Republicans thal the party should eject the money-changers from the temple and revamp itself along New Deal lines, Mr Landon. whose sincerity is unquestioned, no doubt believes he is breathing life into the G. O P. On the contrary, he is carting it off to the potlers field. The G. O. P. can't get along without its money- changers. They are its life blood *A hew motor fuel, possessing twice the combus- tive power of gasoline, has been developed. This makes possible the reduction of automobile engines to half their present size, but the change won'y oc. cur in the near future because the new fuel has a laboratory cost of $50 a gallon, Still, one never can tell when it will be reduced in price. A shori time ago the cost per gallon was $3500. If it goes on down, and the combination of scientific skill and mass pro- duction is not to be denied, midget engines will be gin propelling our modern motor Cars, It seems to be fairly weil established that the German invasion of Norway was the result of treachery on the part of Norwegians in key positions ab certain vital places, At Narvik and at Oslo, it seems. the commander of the Norwegian forces was in league with Germany. The warships at each port were ordered not to fight, Consequently, the Nazis made easy conguests. If may be proved later that similar treachery had something to do with the easy eccnquest of other ports. Certainly, these revelations make it easier to understand be willingness of Hit- Jr to risk his expeditions in the face of British naval superiority. Germany's surprise seizure of Denmark and treacherous attack upon Norway emphasize again the striking power of the German war machine and proclaim once more the ruthless barbarity of the Hitler regime. In spite of repeated forecasts that Germany would wantonly violate the neutrality of small powers, the people of the United States were somwhat shocked by the unprincipled assault upon Norway. The invasion of Denmark and Norway should convince every American that the defense of the United States depends upon adequate pre- paredness. No longer can an intelligent citizen as- sume that the peace of this country can be safe- guarded by good intentions toward other peoples. 50 long as unscrupulous nations possess the power to injure other nations. the security of all people rests solely upon the weapons that they have avallable for thieir defense. These psychiatrists are hard-headed, stubborn toys. They will tackle any problem and give you the aiswer without quibbling. Now, what do you think is the greatest source of family trouble? This is a auestion that has wrecked romance, blasted family life and disintegrated the home. In fact, it is such a dangerous query that a cagey individual, male or female, will pass it up almost without reading It. Not 50, however, with the psychiatrists. Dr. Abra- Ham Myerson, right off the bat, and without a thought of home life, apparently, says, “The struggle between husband and wife over who is going to be boss” is the answer (0 the query. To add fuel Lo the fire he insists that efficiency in family life is best served by the dominance of one person, This will not cause much trouble in itself. Every member of the family will readily agree. The havoc begins when somebody tries to locate the dominance. 4 The trial of cleven defendants of the Interna- tional Pur Workers Union in New York has been concluded with verdicts of guilty. The men were charged with employing terrorisin to control the la- bor fleld of the fur Industry. The government sought such as sluggings, raids on fur establishments that no eontracts with the union, damaging of stock, and throwing of stench bombs, convicted were guilty of such acts. While we are in accord with the laws that give unions the right to protect laborers and to represent them, we do not see how any far-sighted labor leader can condone or uphold such terrorism. The right to or- ganize gives no right to slug those who disagree about matters concerning labor. Certainly, in the run, the cause of organized labor cannot be helped by tactics which are, in themselves, eriminal. - — —— EE — There is no denying that woman Is more effi client than man, She can talk for forty minutes without a pitcher of water on a stand nearby, Japan, it seems, has been secretly building huge dreadnaugivts while the people of the United States Interested themselves in saving money Ly not con- structing a navy. Up to this time the spring season has been very backward, with farm work being retarded because of unseasonable conditions. Wet topsoil and cold weath- er combined to limit field work in many areas, The American Red Cross reports that British authorities have agreed to permit the passage of $250,000 in medical and relief supplies for Poland The Red Cross has assured the British that the ma- terials will not be diverted by the Germans Chairman Martin Dies, who has achieved con- siderable notoriety as well as success in investigating un-American activities, wants the Stale Department to interrogate the Mexican government regarding Nazi and Communist activities in the country, Re- ports received by Mr. Dies indicated that 10.000 Com. munists have moved into Mexico from France and Spain and that they plan to overthrow thie Mexican government unless successful in the national elec. tions this summer. How well German parachute troops are equipped I5 told In a news dispatch following the capture of a detachment in central Norway. Their equipment con. sisted of collapsible bicycles, radio transmitters and receivers, saws, wire cutters, cameras, gas welding apparatus, etc. The Germans were reported to have captured 50 civilians, whom they forced to carry their equipment, and to have occupied a farm before they were routed by hand grenades. 150 surrendered after 25 had been killed and a number wounded.

Age, consangunity, mentality and other matters are regulated. Now comes physical con- dition. It may go even farther as the public come: to realize the pathos of the victims and the terrific burden placed on the taxpayer by marriages wholly unfit from the standpoint of offspring If the consequences of marriage could be com- pletely isolated and self-dependent, the general pub- le might be less concerned. but where the taxpayer in scores of ways is called upon to suffer the conse. quences and pay the damage of marriages which shottld never have occurred, the whole it changes and, as has been apparent for years flected In regulatory legisiation. The trend in rection is inescapable SIDELIGHTS ON THE N. L. R. A, The Supreme Court has decided to review a de- cision of a Circuit Court of Appeals directing the Republic Steel Corporation to reinstate 5000 workers and reimburse them with $5000000 back pay The unanimous decision of the lower court was to the effect that the company had been guilty fair labor practices In the strike in 1937 On the same day the Remington-Rand, $50.000.000 corporation, settied a four-year-old con- troversy with a group of American Federation of Labor unions by agreeing to disestablish nine asso- clations characterized as company unions The National Labor Relations Act has been vig- orously criticised and. for all we know, may need some amendments. Just the same it was enacted by Congress for the sole purpose of establishing and preserving certain clearly defined rights for labor Many of the companies which have fought the pro- visions of the law could have saved some money and considerable friction by promptiy accepting the statute and complying with its terms We do not suggest that industry is noi entitled to reasonable consideration in its relations with labor unions is would be absurd However, the NLRA was not intended as a complete code for the regula- tion of relations between employes and employers Most of the criticism directed against the act Is based on the theory that It was so intended. As pointed out the new law confined itself to asserting specified rights for labor and providing machinery for the protection of the special rights. of un Inc, a MORE DEEDS—LESS BULL {From Pittsburgh Press) We recall no administration which made so many ridiculous and unfounded claims as have emanaled from Harrisburg since Arthur James became governor. The latest of these was made in an address by G. Albert Stewart, Secretary of Forests and Waters, has ever “in which he claimed that the Governor has “aggres- sively expanded flood control projects” in Pennsyl- vania. As a matter of fact, he has quibbled and pro- crastinated and hampered flood control, to the ex- tent that Pittsburgh this spring was twice menaced by what might have been serious floods which could have been prevented had the Governor whole-heart- edly joined with the Federal government in pushing the program of impounding dams to completion, Governor James had hardly assumed office be- fore he got into a silly fight with the Federal gov- ernment over “state's rights” in the flood control program. The entire program was threatened because the Governor refused to turn over title of land on which dams were being built with Pederal funds— land which couldn't possibly be used for any other purpose once dams had been bullt on it. The “states’ right” fight failed to win popular support and the administration had to beat hasty retreat, Now Secretary Stewart claims in the governor's behalf credit for projects In which he had no part, Actually, the plans of United Slates Army En- gineers for these reservoirs were approved by the Blate Water and Power Resources Board while George H. Earle was governor, In fact, that board under the James administration hasn't approved a single control dam proposed by the U. 8. Engineers to date. The James administration has engaged in other forms of misrepresentation, Although elected on a tax-reduction program, it has not reduced taxes yet i has published a series of advertisements at great expense claiming to have made conditions in Pennsylvania far better for business men. It has claimed that the Job Mobilization Campaign, in which business was called upon to give more jobs, resulted in the creation of many thousands of new ficesjobs—at a time when relief rolls, unemployment compensation claims and applications to the state employment offices were all increasing. It is high time that this endless ballyhoo and quit ~devoting its efforts to deeds rather than 4 THE Orrice Car “A Little Nonsense Now and Then, Is Relished by the Wisest Men” Merrily We Rode Along Ruth rode in my cycle car In a seat in back of me I took a bump at fifty, And rode on Ruthlessly Have You Noticed It?
