U. S. BASES LEADING US TO EMPIRE
Those new bases in Newfoundland, Bermuda, and the West
Indies are to be matched in the Pacific by fortified bases in
Alaska, Guam, and Samoa. Five years hence these mighty
fortified advance bases should make this nation's mainland
reasonably secure, regardless of what new war techniques are
thought up. Probably in a lot less time than that they will be
active bases in the current world war. These bases, tied in
with British Empire bases, are due to give the totalitarian powers
many an anxious hour.
But when the war is over those new bases will make of
us really a world empire. They will make it unlikely that we
shall ever let loose definitely any of our American possessions,
including the Philippines. Rather they may lead to our ac-
quiring some other miscellaneous realty. With powerful bases
equipped to serve all branches of our armed might, this nation
likely will find itself in the role of a world policeman. There
is every reason to believe that the British Empire and the
United States wil cooperate closely in the future in sort of
running the world. Their positions after the World War will
compel it in their own self-interest. These bases will make
it seem very natural to help umpile the world's work and
play.
We can't escape our responsibility as a world power. In
fact, quite a respectable school of thought in this nation holds
that our failure to fulfill our responsibility as a great world
power after the first World War has contributed to the world
-chaos out of which the new war has come. Because we are
big, rich, and powerful we have to play up to the big responsibility
of our position.
All great nations in the world's history thai, for their time
were top dogs point the way. Alexander's Greek Empire, the
Roman Empire, Charlemagne's Empire, and the Britism Em-
pire each in their turn wele top world powers. Somebody has
to sit on that high perch. Perhaps these empiies never relish-
ed the spot, really. We in this country probably would pre-
fer to sidestep the high seat. But all signs point that our turn
is coming up. We may as well get ready to make the best of
it.
If we must take our turn on the seat of world greatness,
it will be right comforting to know that we will have some
mighty strong bases far out in the Atlantic and Pacific.—Long-
view Lens.
# 4fcFood is the medicine of the future"—Dr.
Harvey W. Wiley, former chief of the United
States Department of Food and Drugs. Vege-
tables and fruit contain minerals and vitamins
that are vital to good health. "If diet is
correctly balanced, a small ,uantity of food
will suffice"—Dr. Victor Heiser. The U. S.
Department of Agriculture recommends for
the average family, in fruit and vegetables,
50 pounds per week. "Tons of food are
wasted by improper cooking"—Dr. Royal S.
Copeland.
UJHflT DOES
-c r mean?
"CP" means, of course,
Certified Performance in cooking—
a kind of cooking service that is superior in per-
formance, economy, and cooking results.
But "CP" means more than that to you and your
loved ones. It means controllable heat for cooking
healthful vitamins into the food instead of out of
it. It means "super" speed, greater kitchen free-
dom, and a more economical and successful food
budget. It means nearly a score of other ways to
bring Better Living into your home.
Investigate the CP Range now—see what it can
do for you!

Editorial—Self Control.
One of the surest ways of be-
coming unpopular is to mani-
fest a continuous lack of self
control. The person who is
quick-tempered, .who speaks or
acts before thinking, often finds
himself in an embarrassing
situation without the support
of his true friends.
It is often much better to
agree quickly with an obstin-
ate person than to prolong an
argument that might lead to
serious consequences and per-
haps break up a close friend-
ship. Acquiescence often makes
the would-be dictator ashamed
of himself and causes him to
assume a less agressive atti-
tude.
Such a policy of appeasement
has not proved satisfactory in
settling the 'political affairs
of the world in recent years,
but it has yet to be disapprov-
ed in personal affairs. It was
the policy advocated by the
world's greatest teacher and
philosopher, Jesus Christ, who
advocated quick agreement
with one's adversary.
