DENVER, UP) — Pedestrains

The cursing pedestrain, Capt?
Pitt has observed is always on the
lookout for a wild driver on whom
to vent his wrath, so he can hurl a
few choice epithets which the
driver probably doesn’t hear.
And because such a pedestrain
is always on the alert for a wild
driver, he is in little danger when
crossing an intersection, Capt. Pitt

In New York,vthe American Legion gathers for its annual
convention, opening next week, at a time when the organiza-

The middle-aged men wtir*je«
and serious ■discussions understand, belter than any group in
the country, what is happening in war-torn Spain and in the
Orient
Twenty years ago they were young men fighting to make
the world safe for democracy. They watched blood flow in
the mass, massacre that is modern warfare.
Then they came home, many of them to find their jobs
taken, many more to spend weary years regaining health
and sanity.
In the twenty years since they returned to American
shores as the bands played, they have witnessed a world
drifting gradually toward another war to settle questions
left unanswered by the last one.
If any group of Americans is qualified to speak on the
need for maintaining sanity in this country in the present
world crisis, it is the Legionnaires invading New York today.
They should ■speak because theirs is the voide of author-
ity, because there are those who clamor, despite the opposi-
tion of the great masses of the American people, to send
their sons into a new and oven more horrible war.
This country can not escape making a vital decision dur-
ing the next few weeks or months. We must decide to sac-
rifice trade and some of our privileges abroad to maintain
strict neutrality, or we must risk becoming involved in a war
in order to protect trade and privileges by force of arms.
Those who espouse the latter viewpoint do so for selfish
reasons. They fear the loss of property and profits, potential
or now enjoyed.
The Legion should speak out clearly and emphatically
for maintenance of its policy of long standing—National de-
fense isecond to none in the world and strict neutrality in
foreign disputes and wars that do not concern the Ameri-
can people as a whole.—Houston Post.

T1EFORE we can decide where
we go from here we must take
our bearings and determine just
where we are.
In the throes of our greatest
depression we are becoming con-
scious for the first time of great
changes which have already oc-
curred and arc continuing to
_occur in the
: economic 1 ft e
of our nation.
Immigration

Natural popu-
lation growth is
slowing down.
•Free land has
d i sa p peared.
Economic
nationalism is
closing eco-
nomic opportu-
nity in foreign
trade.
It seems per-
fectly clear to
me that we
have two primary objectives in the
pear future—(1) to increase the devotion to the New Dea! prin-
national income, and (2) to se-
cure a more equitable distribution
of it as it is produced from year
to year.
The Roosevelt' administration
and its supporter* have taken
certain minimum steps in the
general direction of these objec-
tives.
The Supreme Court fight, in my
judgment, was just one of many
such measures—but a very necec-
aary one because upon its substan-
tial success turned the legal free-
dom of a democracy to move
toward its goals
The present economic crisis
raise* fundamental issues which
dra forcing a political realignment.
It will' bring a clean-cut distinc-
$too between the reactionaries
who favor maintaining the status
quo at all coats, and progressive*
who believe we must solve our

said, will add somewhat to f

a blur of tears Helen watched a *

her such a pain at the futility of
al) living that it left her sick and

this was all vaguely familiar to her.
The scene was familiar; the blind-
ing sunshine, the thick enervating
heat So had she wept for Dirk on
the last day she saw him alive and
now again she was weeping bitterly

Her handkerchief was a wet ball.

In any great democracy there
must be party leadership and
party responsibility. In 1936 the
Democratic party accepted the

itemized budget to the legislature,
either In 1935 or in 1937.
'"‘Mont Budget Back
While questioning J. IX Hall,
budget director for the board of
control, Chmn. Holbrook read the
law that said the governor "shall
itemize" his recommendations, and
if he wants any item cut out,
shall leave the line blank. Gov. All-
red left the entire itemization of
all budget bills blank, but wrote a
general letter of transmittal of the
control board’s budget.
Gov. Allied recently said he had
“repudiated” the board's recom-
mendations for salary and otlter
increases. _____
"Former Gov. Miriam A Fergu-
