Senator Taft, of Ohio, has stepped down from the imaginary pedestal on which ‘we had him mounted. He is plainly ‘playing politics with the national emergency. His criticism of the landing of U. 8S. naval and air forces in Tceland is small potatoes for a man of his distinguished family and office. We are glad he did not receive tthe nomination to be the Republican candidate for the Presidency, and we herewith renew our allegiance to Wendell Willkie as the greatest American on ‘the Republican His stature grows with every passing ‘week. He is soon to speak in Los Angeles in his useful role of spreading an antidote to the Lindbergh-Wheeler poison. This poison may be honest poison, but it is still’ poison. Viewing the action taken’ by the President in establishing an outpost in Iceland in its simpler aspects, it ‘would seem that it is vitally needed to protect our goods and ships upon the north Atlantic. That these goods and ships are enroute to England, legally speaking, is nobody’s business but our own, we think, should be clear to every sel-respecting citizen. The neutrality act notwithstanding, the American people have not relinquished their right to the freedom of the seas. We are glad the President has ‘reasserted that right, because without the freedom of the seas nations suffocate, just as surely as fish do when removed ~ from water. Now if Germany should challenge our right to send goods and ships wherever we see fit, that will ‘be just too bad for Germany. And Hitler knows that. His memory of the last world war should warn him not to challenge. us. However he may engage us in a “shooting’’ war. If he does the consequence will be an enormous increase in our war effort. Under such conditions there would be no no more strikes. Recalcitrant industries would ofifer no more obstacles to complete militarization of the nation. The many deferred lists provided for in the selective service act would undoubtedly be greatly abbreviated. In short this country would enter upon a war, rather than a defense basis, overnight. Will Mr. Hitler risk that? No one knows. Often he proves smarter than had been suspected. On the whole we think that Hitler would rather see his blockade of the British Isle modified by our shipments of goods and munitions, than to have our navy _ loosed against ‘him on all seas and our air forces threatening him everywhere, land or sea. ‘Not that they could do him much harm at the moment ‘but he would find them cramping him in the future. This country need not fear preparation for war, ‘war itself, if it come, or that we shall lose war’s decision, In due time if we must we shall run the gamut and add whatever glory there is in victory to many laurels that hang in the corridors of time. We are confident we shall survive as a republic, despite ‘the ruinous ‘wastes of recent years. The lives of our children will be restricted, but liberty will still abide with them. What this country needs to fear is the peace that follows this war and the part ‘we shall have in it. After expending billions in internal reforms, and then, so to speak, spending many more billions to rethe (black crusaders of Europe by force of arms, it ~would seem little short of lunacy to accept such a peace as that made in the treaty of Versailles. For it goes witheut saying that. this country, nor the world, will prosper and pay its debts, unless we can have a peace that ‘is insured by all the larger nations. Our isolationists merely annoy us now, but they will become a real menace when our government (Continued on Page Twe) An Ay weeds death Friday claimed another Nevada City. young man when Chad Martin, 23, a graduate of the local high school with the class of 1938, was killed while unloading a truck of lumber at the Idaho-Maryland Mines Corporation No. 2 shaft. Martin was hit by nine large planks which fell after he had loosened the chain binding them to the truck. The lumber knocked him against a pile of lumber which had previously been unloaded, fracturing his skull. Martin died later in the Jones ‘Memorial Hospital in Grass Valley. Coroner A. M.
