A HOPE FOR THE FUTURE
the United States completes ites two-ocean
az an aerial force equal to that of any
ther nation, the world may be at peace again
Thereupon so-called patriots will arise, through-
nafion, 10 assert that we do not need our
pe aid thet its costs foo much to maintain
fleets. The cry for economy will sound, with
wn how many schoolhouses, hospitals
rariks could be built with the money that we
yl won Navy, Army and Air Force,
Again the pacifists will proclaim the advent of
universal peace, with brotherly love ruling the peo-
ples of the world, There Will be another advocacy
of disa‘mament to prevent war. There will be aur-
tate pictures of a new era, offering mankind the op-
portunity to relegate war to the ‘relic rooms,
When this propaganda begins to be heard in this
ountry. let us hope that some clear-headed patriots
will have sense enough to remember the desperate
need of the United States, at this time, of guns,
chips, tanks and planes, If it is not too much to ex-
pect from the fates that rule the destiny of men,
ial alo express the wish that some intelligent
stat-sman of the Nifture day will put the spotlight
on the suil'n peoples who will, even then, be arming
themselves for revenge.

HITLER LOOKS BACK, NOT AHEAD!
Adolf Hitler celebrated his fifty-second birthday
last week on a continent almost completely domin-
ated by his military machine, While he heard the
lavdatory speeches of his stooges, he felt the weight
of bitter hatred mounting among millions who now
despise him and the works of his Nazi regime,
It 1s trae that Herr Hitler ean Y00k back upon a
ry impreseive year and a half, His army and alr
force have sccred notable triumphs, destroying for-
m'dable enemies and imposing the Nazi will upon
many miilions of subject peoples
On the Balkan front, the Fueehrer listened to
reports from the front where his super-army is
siowly overwhelming an out-nuwmbered forge of
Greek and British soldiers
Hitler and h's entourage boast of the accom-
plithments of German arms, They understand bet-
ter than the rest of the world what is ahead in the
next few months. The campaign against Yugoslavia
and Greece, they know, is the opening round of an
engagement which will be Intensified in the next
few weeks
Confidently, the Nari leaders look for victory
and grimly prepare to bring other areas under their
domination
The democratic peoples of the world face heavy
and new humiliations, If not disastrous
re they can put an end to the Nazi, No
march of German power or

CAN THE PRESS REGULATE ITSELF?
wepapers of the United States are quick
against anything that looks like the In-
fringement of the freedom of the press
This Is a commendable attitude but it should
not cause newspaper operators to overlook the fact

While this Incident is not important and the
na'lonal emergency does not now require a war-time
censorship, it offers the opportunity to discuss the
shligations which rest upon the. newspapers of this
intry to police their own fraternity
Of course, the reply is immediate that no such
agency exists, The absence of such an agency is re-
quird. Newspapers are dependent upon their press
associations for the news they publish and it would
be relatively easy for press associations to compel
individual newspapers to behave
We think it is about timé for newspapermen
to implement thelr associations In order to prevent
a few individuals, or a few newspapers from dis-
crediting the press of the nation.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN AS ALLIES
Japanese newspapers, according to the Assocs
iated Press, say that it is no longer “a crazy dream”
to expect a great war, with Japan, Germany, Italy
and Soviet Russia on one side and the United States,
Britain and China, on the other,
For once, the Japaticse newspapers are right
The possibility of such a war has increased with the
signing. of the neutrality pact between Russia and
Japan. Hitler will no doubt do his best to persuade
Russia and Japan that they can easily acquire the
territory thev covet by Joining in the assault upen
the British Empire.
The governments of Germany, Italy, Japan and
Rue‘ip are motivated by the common hope of suc-
cessfully looting the rest of the world. Together they
constitute a formidable thréat to what our people
consider modern civilization THelr theories of gov-
ernment, including the suppression of popular lib-
erty, runs directly opposite to liberal conceptions
now in vogue in Great Britain, the United States
and the Chinese government,
AT WAR WITHIN NINETY DAYS?
Representative Martin Dies predicts that the
United States will be at war with the Axis powers
within ninety days.
He thinks that "England and the United States
will win the war after a hard, bitter struggle” end-
ing with a joint invasion of Italy and Germany
through Greece ind the Balkans,
Mr. Dies is of the opinion that it is the duty of
the United States to fight and to send an army to
Europe. We are nol yet prepared to underwrite the
prophecy of the Texan although this nation will
have to fight before accepiing Nazi domination of
the world.
