One has to admire a people who are willing to face their foes without surrender regard- less of the apparen t them years and far- odds again The national debt of the United States will be Limited to $65.000000000, according to new legisia- tion. and this ceiling will be sufficient, according to Administration spokesmen until June 30th, 1942, at least The main purpose of present legislation is to provide for such increases as the national defense program and the Lend-Lease bill will require. No one krows how much the total amount will be Four-motored, long-range bombers are now be- ing delivered to the British by a California aircraft plant which is beginning delivery three months be- hind schedule. The bombers are said to be able to carry four tons of explosives from England to almost any sector of belligerent Europe and Irn, non- stop. The planes will be flown from California to the East Coast, where they will refuel for the hop across the Atlantic to Great Britain ret The Army is about 133.000 men short of its ex- ected goal at this time, although 867.000 soldiers are under training. By next June, the Army expects to have 1.418000, according to the present schedule. Preliminary expansion plans involves the present study of sites for additional camps and cantonments if it beccmes advisable to increase the strength of the Army. In this connection, it is noted that arms production fac es. including powder, ammunition, aireraft, chemical and other supplies, were designed to meet the requirements of the force contemplated up to 2,000000 men the organization that col- war sufferers has 700-0dd Its 650.000 workers Bundles for Britain lects clothing for British branches in the United are nearly all volunteers with only nine of its thirty-four executive heads receiving pay. A recent report indicates that the workers collected $1.645.086 in cash. clothing and supplies last year, The organ- ization has sent 000000 knitted garments 300.000 pieces of new and used clothing and 350.000 articles of surgical apparatus to the British. Just about a year old, Bundles for Britain is operated in every State except Arkansas With its emphasis upon vol- untegr work, the organization exemplifies the best type of relief activity It deserves the confidence of the people of the United Btateg and we hope that its work will be appreciated and supported by the people of Centre county. States With Prance prostrate and Great Britain in- volved in a serious war in Europe, the United States alone is in a position to exercise a restraining in- fluence upon Tokyo, Whether this will be sufficient or not, is a question at this time and it is not pre- muture for the people of the United States to con- sider the possibility of actual hostilities with Japan in the near future The United States faces a great decision, It must decide what it will do in the event that Japan attacks Singapore or the Dutch East Indies. We must acquiesce In Japanese expansion, involving loss of commercial rights in the entire Far East. When the decision is definite, we should lose ne opportunity of advising Tokyo how long we will stand aside and when we will actively intervene, There is reason to believe that the United States, through its government, has decided that if Japan- ese aggression goes beyond a certain point it will be necessary to take decisive action at the risk of war, We have no idea where that “point” has been lo- cated but news from the Far East indicates that the Japanese have advanced to it, form of ignorance that is perilous to human progress, As we comprehend in full the value of the gifts of our ancestors we are apt to safeguard them. We would not willingly destroy in a day, or a few years, the fruit of humanity's struggle through many cen- turfes. Naturally we benefit by what men have wrought before us and the honorable course in life is to preserve these gifts for ages yet unborn Parents and relatives of Pennsylvania's 12,000 soldiers coming to the state's military reservation at Indiantown Gap for a year's training will be wel- comed any time, Major General Edward Martin an- nounced. “A contented soldier is the best soldier” the 28th division commander said, “We feel that visits from home and furloughs so the men oan go home whenever possible are the ways to keep the men contented.” Camp facilities will include places where mothers and wives can stay overnight SAYS U.

The industry of France, Crechoslovakia, and other nations, is pro- ducing for Germany. The stocks of the conguered peoples have been transported to Germany and even foodstufls have been dangerously depleted Bome reporis say that railway transportation facilities have been taken into Germany. that live stock has been seized! and removed and that private property has been ruthlessly appropriated to Cer- man use The conquered people have no civil rights and many of them are required to labor for their enemy The German surge for péace is dependent, appar- ently, upon the sacrifice of individual liberties every- where and the stealing of valuable properties There may be people in the United States who think that we should not take cognizance of this organized free-booting, that the pirates would not dare attempt to use force against us and that if we will bury our heads in the sand the storm will blow over. We are not among them fact NICARAGUA WOULD COOPERATE President Anastasio Somoza, of Nicaragua, es- tablishes a new high in cooperation with the Unit ed States by Inviting this country to establish air and naval bases on both coasts of Nicaragua, "as will best protect the interests of the two countries and the Panama Canal” On his forty-fourth birthday. the President of Central American Republic declared that “the keynote of Nicaragua's foreign policy is all-out co- operation with the United States | Niearaguans are firmly convinced that their interests are parallel with those of the United States, while I, personally, look upon the United States as my second country.’ This Is an interesting statement in view of the fact that in 1012, the United States sent Marines into Nicaragua, following a revolt and only with drew the legation guard in 1825. Almost immediate ly, Nicaragua was plunged again into civil warfare but this was ended when the United Btates sent Marines to the country again and supervised the 1923 election It is worth noting that the United States, after landing armed forces in Nicaragua, upon two occa sions, withdrew the Marines, without seizing terri- tory or attempting to make Niearagua a colonial possession of this country. 13, (24) GIFTS FROM THE PAST Human beings, alive today, should appreciate the inheritance that has come to them from the men and women who lived in the years that are gone ’ This may seem commonplace but the essence of education involves an unde acceptance of the institutions that have been bequeathed to us. Those living today arrived in a world that Had been developed by others. They enjoy modern family life, churches, schools, governments, and, be it added, ns economic setup that makes for comfortable liv- ng. These things were not always in the world.
