CLAIR ROSS For Representative in Congress WILLIAM M. AUKERMAN For Representative in General Assembly JOHN W. DECKER EDITORIAL If Germany wins the war in Europe the United States will have iso- lation in fact instead of in theory Americanism is good enough for real Americans, but let us practice it instead of merely preaching about it The experts are still guesting about the war—so we will add. our guess that Russia, if she enters the war, will fight on the side of the Allies. Governor James, who wants Congress to remain in session to act as a brake on the President against drifting into war, was very insistent in having the special session of his own Legislature adjourn in a hurry so that it could not act as a brake on the State's financial juggling Colonel Lindbergh's recent radio speech was that of a good flier, bu that's all. How can he believe it makes no difference to the United States who wins the war in Europe? In fact, what does he mean in everything he said? He surely is not counting on that Nazi medal Hitler pinned on him for protection from these inhuman beasts abroad-—or is he? Regardless of how we define “neutrality,” our country is face to face with an uncertain future, The United States must assume thai the fu- ture interests of this nation will have fo be defended by the army, navy and air force without assistance from any friendly power. Our policy of isolation assures this and, because we render no assistance to others we have no reason to expect assistance from others. No man can tell what {demands would be made upon this hemisphere in a world bereft of Brit. ish and French influence and power bul few men doubt that such de- mands would be made, : ad The Centre Democrat wishes to congratulate the students of our ‘righ schools who complete their courses this year and at the same time, ‘to extend felicitations to those of this county who complete their col- lege careers. The high schools of Centre county are graduating a fine *grop of young men and women. Some of them will continue their educa- tion in higher channels, while others will not have the privilege. To the datier we say, they need accept no inferiority complex in regards to their ssmates who study longer. They will find many opportunities to work cut the fullness of their existence, {f they have the will to succeed To ~ane and all, may they play the game of life fairly, earning just rewards “2nd rejoice in the similar success of their fellowmen. ; Some of the experts are worrying about what will happen to the United States’ $19.000000000 hoarde if the European war changes the “monetary system of the world Bankers and economists in this country have expresssed the opinion that the gold standard cannot operate if Germany and her allies win the war and dominate the future economic set-up of the world. While it is within the realm of possibility, in the event of a German victory, that gold will lose some of its importance in international trade, the disability will be temporary. In fact, we do not think that the United States need worry very much about having a worthless gold stock on hand. We might worry about the possibility of losing our gold stock if this nation is ever attacked by a coalition of powers, such as Germany, Italy and Japan, after the totalitarian states have conquered Europe. A tourist from ancther State let fall the remark the other day that was a pleasure to note how business-like and gentlemanly were the Pennsylvania motor police. And he followed with an example of smart- aleck wise-cracking indwiged in by highway motor polies in another State.
