WE DO NOT INTEND
TO FIGHT
The one thing certain about
the attitude of the American
people toward the European
war is that we do not intend to
be drawn into it There are
forces at'work on both sides of
the Atlantic which seem to be
deliberately pushing the Unit-
ed States toward war. There
is a small faction of Americans
who are saying that we’ll have
to get into the war some day,
and we’d better get into it
now. The great majority say
"Never again.”
We do not believe it is true
that we are bound to be drag-
ged into war. Nobody can
force us to fight except by a
direct attack upon us, when
we would be forced to fight in
self-defense. There is no such
threat even dimly in sight
Is it a war to protect the
British and French empires? V
so, why should we ruin our-
selves to get into it? .
Before this country could en-
ter this war, or any war, the
opinions of a very large per-
centage of our people would
have to be changed. * Nobody
can put this country deliber-
ately into war. The President
has no such power, even if he
desired to use it He has ex-
plicitly and repeatedly stated
that his purpose is to keep us
out of war. The power to de-
clare war rests in Congress
alone, and Congress would
have to feel very certain that
an overwhelming public opin-
ion was behind it before it
would plunge us into the Eu-
ropean carnage.
Earnest and honest people
on both sides o( the question
of the Neutrality laws are urg-
ing Congress to repeal the
arms embargo provisions of the
law, or not to repeal them.
Neither of these sets of people
wants war; all want to keep us
out of war, and each side
thinks his way is the most cer-
tain insurance against our par-
ticipation.
Whether either plan will be
effective, only time can tell.
We had no embargo law in
1917, yet we got into the
World War. We had an em-
bargo law in 1812 and it did
not keep us out of war. What
counts in lawless times, when
nations are at war and all the
rules of honor and fair play
are cast to the winds, is not
statutory enactments but the
will of the mass of the people.
And he saw also a certain
poor widow casting in thither
two mites. And he said, Of a
truth I say unto you, that this
poor widow hath cast in more
than they ail.—Luke 21:3.

Fast Worth Physicians
Fort Worth, Tex. (UP)—
Dr. John Zahorsky of St. Louis
told 200 Fort Worth physicians
that many . operations to re-
move children's tonsils and
adenoids were not only’useless,
but sometimes actually harm-
ful.
Dr. Zahorsky, a teacher of
pediatrics, said that tonsils
and adenoids in children ought
not to be removed unles they
are a source of infection. Re-
moval of them sometimes in-
vites respiratory trouble, he
added.
Dr. Meyer Wiener of St
Louis, declared that measles
patients need not be left in a

Dr. Wiener said, has convinc-

sufferers.

Washington. {UP) — The
War Department has devised
a new form of contract which
officials believe will prevent
excessive profiteering chi war-
time orders. Sample copies of
this document were bring dis-
tributed today to manufactur-
ers.
During the World War most
of the contracts were placed
on a cost-plus 6 per cent profit
basis. The manufacturer esti-
mated his costs and the War
Department had to say wheth-
er they were fair but usually it
had to take the manufacturer’s
word. •
The new contracts, which
are being furnished by the
War Department for the in-
formation and stndy of the
men who will be called upon to
provide industrial supplies dur-
ing a war, provide that the
Secretary of War can negoti-
ate the contract on a “fair and
just basis.”.
The contracts were drafted
in connection with the army’s
new industrial mobiH’ ■! -n
plan. If the raanufa- jrer
loses under terms of the d ar
made with the governm rr. is
up to him 'to gain redr^-i
through arbitration.
If such circumstances ante,
the manufacturer might ap-
peal for redress on losses to a
board of arbitration. It consists
of a representative named by
himself, one by the Secretary
of War and one of their joint
selection.
Fort Worth Kilocycle
Chibs Enlist Cooperate
With Unde Sam
Fort Worth, Texas. (UP)—
Forty members of the Fort
Worth Kilocycle clubs are en-
listed in the army of short-
wave radio' “hams” helping
Uncle Sam to combat broad-
casts that might violate this
country’s neutrality in the cur-
rent European war.
The Kilocycle dab repre-
sents only a small portion of
the 53,000 radio amateurs af-
filiated with the American
Radio Relay League. The com-
bined strength, according to
Kilocycle Club President R. E.
Cowan of Fort Worth, will
make it almost impossible for
foreign agents to use short-
wave broadcasts without being
detected.
The "haras” have promised
to report all suspicious broad-
casts to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.

a study of food needs for both

yearbook and the tentative
subject of the 1941 edition fe
“Climate and Man.”
