CIRCULATION OVER 7,000 COPIES EACH W NATIONAL EDITORIAL gt ASSOCIATION on Mombor a DEMOCRATIC TICKET For President of the United States FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT For Vice President HENRY W. WALLACE For United States Senator JOSEPH F. GUFFEY For State Treasurer G. HAROLD WAGNER For Auditor General F. CLAIR ROSS For Representative in Congress WILLIAM M. AUKERMAN For Representative In General Assembly JOHN W. DECKER There are indications that the warfare now go- ing on. will soon extend to new areas —dermany, under Hitler, is a super-trust, with men and materials ruthlessly expended by the dic- ator. It may be that the United States will never need & battleship to defend its territory but just in case we do, let's build ‘em. It seems that money doesn't care whom It settles upon. Shirley Temple's 1938 salary exceeded by #4.- 000 that earned by William 8. Knudsen, president of General Motors. Last year, about this time, a majority of Con- Tessmen were convinced there would be no war in urope. This gives a general idea of what a lot of Congressmen know about world conditions. The Packard Motor Car Company has accepted & contract to produce 3.000 Rolls-Royce airplane . motors for the United States and 6000 for Great Britain. This is the contract refused by Henry Ford If National Guardsmen are mobilized for a year of active training, it is understood that regulations will be revised to permit married men in lower ranks to resign, but those in the higher enlisted ranks, which carry pay sufficient to provide for dependents, will be kept in service. When Senator McNary of Oregon was inform- ed that he had been nominated for Vice President by the n national convention on the ticket with Wendell Willkie he said: “I am profoundly conscious of the confidence reposed in me by the convention, I wish they had imposed this chore on some one else. However, I'll be a good soldier and do the best I can” The position of the United States, cut off from pronounced isolationist that “the United tes Is immune from attack” has vanished in the ligh of actual events across the waters, President Roosevelt has signed the $4,000,000,000 ng into motion a program 8 formidable two-ocean a | Public sentiment has moved so rapidly in this country, within the past few months that there Is widespread apprehension that a German triumph over Great Britain will place this country in grave peril and that, in spite of all our defense program, the nation will not be prepared to defend itself from the joint attacks of aggressor nations. It Is readily understood, at this time, that Germany, Italy and Japan will not hesitate to act in concert to apply pressure to the United States and to use war as an instrument to attain their aims in South America. — Bix residents of Germany were sent to prison for three years last week for listening to foreign radio stations and, in addition, they will lose all civil rights. The fact that Hitler is afraid to permit his people to listen to anything except the propa- ganda of his publicity machine indicates the transi- tory base his government rests upon. Hitler makes full use of the radio to tell Germans what he wants them to hear and, in order to force them to believe it, he forbids them to listen to foreign stations which might tell them some news. This ought to be enough to convince most of the world that Hitler is lying to his own people, If he lies to them, why should he tell foreigners the truth over German sta- tions? Why should foreigners, knowing these facts believe anything that comes over a German station or from German sources? If Americans are interested in signs from the Far East they can understand the situation by read- ing what Rear Admiral Moriji Takeda says: “The violence and insults of the American Marines to- ward Japanese gendarmes are barbarous acts, be- yond description. That the United States Marines committed such acts, knowing that they were acting agains Japanese gendarmes, is a deliberate insult to all Japanese soldiers. I am greatly offended as a soldier and as a Japanese subject by such insults to the honor of the Japanese forces, Usually, when some incident occurs between forces of friendly na- tions, responsible officials make every effort to pre- vent an incident from developing into major contro- versy. Whenever a nation, however, Is seeking a source of complaint, or a cause for action, they magnify small occurrences and talk about “insults” and “national honor” Apparently, the Japanese are getting ready to test the resolution of the Unit. ed States in regards to its interests in the Far Eas! No doubt encouraged by the surrender of France and the efforts of Great Britain to be conciliatory the Japanese want to know how far ihey can gO with the United States SO-CALLED MONROE DOCTRINES Germany wants a “Monroe Doctrine for Central Europe” and Japan wants a “Monroe Doctrine for Asia" At least, this Is what Berlin and Tokyo assert Americans who are familiar with the operation of the Monroe Doctrine In this part of the world may be misled unless they become familiar with the methods of totalitarian nations In the Western Hemisphere the Monroe Doc- trine demands and obtains respect for the rights of ai! nations, the small ones as well as the large ones, including the right to decide their future for them- selves Germany and Japan, while calling for a "Mon- roe Doctrine,” stake out an area for themselves, in which to plunder and rule as they please, without regard to the rights of other nations to equality of commercial opportunity If Germany was, in reality, interested in a Mon- roe Doctrine for Central Europe, she would have joined Great Britain and France in protecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity -f Czechoslo- vakia Poland, and the other nations that have lost their liberties in recent months, Japan, if interested ia & doctrine for Asia, would permit China to decide her own future. Both would be interested only in preventing other larger nations from committing ag- gression against the areas they guard. The truth of the matter is that both Berlin and Tokyo understand that there is no similarity be- tween their doctrines, asserted for thelr own ag- grandizement, and the doctrine promulgated in this country, many years ago, which has preserved he small Latin-American nations from encroachment from Europe Berlin and Tokyo are smart enough to know that they can confuse some befuddled Americans into believing that the doctrines they assert are what they call them, regardless of the actual facts in their respective areas They know that there are Americans looking for every excuse io exonerate the United States from any responsibility in the world today CHEAP POWER IN DANGER Senator Norris of Nebraska, who has done more than any other one man in Congress to establish the Tennessee Valley Authority and bring cheap electric power to the people, says that the nomina- tion of Wendell L. Willkie for President by the Re- publican party is the work of the power trust and that his election would destroy all the gains made by the people against exploitation by huge utility interests. In a newspaper interview he described him as a second Insull “Willkie is Insull the Becond,” Norris declared “He is head of a great utility empire. The Power Trust was behind him and gave him his nomination, and it is going to try to deceive the American people just as it did the Republican convention. “When the Willkie candidacy was seriously pro- posed, 1 had no doubt he would win. I know how the Power Trust works, for I have been up against it many times, It is perfectly ruthless In its methods, and its influence is far-reaching “In every hamlet, town and city In the land the Power Trust has set up committees, known as ‘pub- lic relations committees’ and they are headed by smart and usually popular men. “The mere pushing of a button in Wall Street throws that mighty propaganda machine into gear, and a tremendous wave of manufactured opinion sweeps the country. This time it was centered on the convention at Philadelphia and overwhelmed i. “Many who supported Willkie honestly thought they were performing a patriotic duty, when, as a matter of fact, they were only part of a great syn- thetic plan, all worked out in advance, and they nominated 8 man who, three weeks before, no one If Willkie should be elected, in Norris’ opinion, a staggering blow will be struck at the government's “yardstick” program and its efforts to correct utility abuses. “Willkie, of course, is opposed to all municipal ownership, anywhere,” Norris sald. “He is a follow er of Insull and other men who have built up the Power Trust, and wherever there is private owner ship of the generation, transmission and distribu tion of electricity, that network will be for Willkie, the same as it would have been for Insull or any other of the older men who put this monopoly to- THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA.
