Pv o Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. Nevada City Nugget COVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA IN CALIFORNIA —— in the right to publish the Truth, with good motives and for justifiable ends. ton. March 15, 1848: The Liberty of the Press consists —Alexander HamilWe have just been Teading a book called ‘‘Moral Re-Armament.” It consists in the main of letters written to the principal newspapers of England, signed by names great in past and present England. In a nutshell, the letters are from sportsmen, soldiers and sailors, youth organizations, political leaders both conservative and laborite, all appealing for a new apProach to international relations, now so badly managed that world war is imminent. Fundamentally ' (the doctrine preached is that of Mohammed and Christ, universal brotherhood. It calls to the sportsmanship of youth the world around. The printiples of sportsmanship it regards as affording a ready made foundation on which international amity can be built. It is proposed to banish greed and hatred and to substitute good will and understanding. Fair play, a respect for the other’s point of view, and his Tights, his values as a member of the human race, are emphasized as a means of clearing away the suspicion and antagonism that now foment national and international quarrels. This is a re-statement, in effect, of Christ’s sermon on the Mount. Twenty years ago ‘when the nations shook off the world war like a dreadful nightmare, and (beheld the havoc .wrought in four years, our youth was plunged into cynicism, old age was skeptic. The peace planners of Europe having brought the enemy to his knees proceeded to strip him of every material possession he had, save only room enough to live in. The peace planners doomed the whipped enemy to at least a generation of indutsrial slavery ‘without mercy, without heart. The oppressed slave has turned. He threatens his European masters. Twenty years after the event the doctrine which should ‘have been preached, and was preached by President Wilson, whose voice cried in the wilderness, is being . heard, widely in England and in lesser degree in France. The fact that an editor of Nevada City, thousands of miles from London received this book through the mail, indicates that the movement for Moral Re-Armament is well financed, It indicates that editors throughout ‘the world are receiving it, and _ that, freely, though the book sells for sixpence. We think that this movement at this time is a natural and logical consequence of the world war and its aftermath, First was that period of disallusionment and cynicism. Next came an brief era of inflation and ‘‘riotous living’’, as the Good Book puts it. And of late years we shave fed with the swine upon the husks. If ever there ‘was a time, when the world is thoroughly ready for a revival and a practical application of Christian precept, the time is now. Germany, a nation enslaved, led by a man with the mind of a slave, endangers our civilization. We and all peoples on earth stand on a dizzy brink of chaos, a plunge into that outer darkness, from which, as a higher race we have so recently and painfully emerged. When our uncouth, hard swearing, hard drinking and hard working ancestors, following the trails of the wilderness suddenly met a grizzly bear in their path and found themselves ‘with a recently discharged musket in their hands and no time to reload, whether they had ever prayed or not, they prayed God then to deliver them from the bear. The world is in some such case today. Doubtless the democracies allied again, and with the help of . Russia, could again whip the ‘Germans, and include in the chastisement the Italians and the Japanese. But at what cost and to what end? At best, a repetition of the war that began in 1914, and at worst, a reversion to the law of claw and fang. To live in a world in which no torch of spirituality burns, to live again in the universal slavery and brutishness of the dark ages, after the great triumphs of science, after the splendid lift of modern thought, and the wealth and ease of living more universally enjoyed than ever before in history, is the last and deepest pit of hell. If there is hope of universal peace it must be founded in some such regeneration as embodied in ‘Shelden Vol. 13, No. 47.

By CLEM M WHITAKER When the members of the 1939 State Legislature.lock their desks, a few days hence, and board homebound trains, California’s New Deal program—as advanced by Governor Olson—will be swept out by the jan-i tors, instead of being incorporated in the statute books. No governor in California’s history has been ‘so’ completely routed by the legislature during his first year in office, And scarcely a bill of major impor_ tance in the Olson program has survived the debacle! There are many explanations of the legislature’s rejection of Governor Olson‘s proposals—as many as there are shades of partisanship. The governor’s friends, for example, charge up much of the disaster to his illmess, claiming thathe lost control during the period when he a firm hand on his administration program. They also bitterly condemn members of his own party who dex serted the governor on the issue of tax reduction and joined with Republicans in the economy bloc to scuttle his budget and tax legislation. Rampant Republicans—a bit jubi_ lant over their spectacular success— produly proclaim: “It looks like victory in 1940!’’ Mauy of the Olsonian Rooseveltian policies. But Olson’s program although it included much of the Rooseveltian philosophy, also ago, and other purely Olsonian inother ingredients new to Washington. While Democrats and Republicans tations on the outcome, less partisan . agreement on at. ’ least two major deductions: First MINER, FAKING SILICOSIS FACES PERJURY CHARGE ‘Mike Mikulin, 44 years old, under grand jury indictments for perjury, will have his preliminary hearing before Judge George L. Jones tomorrow at 9:30 o’clock. He was arraigned last Friday. His indictment and arrest was due to an effort to halt wide spread “racketeering” in compensation insurance through false testimony and affidavits. Mikulin, former employe of the Murchie mine, was arrested in Roseville last. Thursday afternoon and placed in the Nevada county jail by Sheriff Carl J. Tobiassen. ‘Mikulin was indicted by the Nevada county grand jury at a special session Wednesday, following téstimony by Robert Hendricks, manager of the Murchie, Zeibright and the Browns Valley mines, but the name was held secret until issuance of a bench warrant by Judge George L. Jones, Louis Saban, miner, also testified before the grand jury. Mikulin’s bail was set at $1000. Minxulin, claimant for compensation insurance for alleged silicosis at a hearing before Referee Warren Hanna of the Industrial Accident Commission on March 2, is said to have testified under oath that he never worked underground in California or outside of California prior ito taking employment with. the Empire-Star mines company in Nevada county. Investigation on which the indictment was voted indicated that Mi— kulin had worked underground at least on two separate occasions at Ely, Nevada and was also employed as a tunnel miner on the HetchHetchy project near Livermore for an extended period the dust count no the tunnel project being notoriously high at the time. Examination by competent physicians disproved Mikulin’s contention that he was a victim of silicosis, RED CROSS MEETS TONIGHT AT C OF C The Nevada ete chapter of the ‘Red Cross will meet this evening at the Chamber of Commerce rooms at 17:30.
