The parental pride of Mr. Wendell Wilkie, industrial genius and candidate for President, may have been jarred a bit when the nation’s press announced that his son _ Phillip failed to graduate at Princeton, last week because he flunked history. Seems to us. thouch, rather a compliment to the boy’s horse sense that ke studied and passed in mathematics and science and like stable courses. bit into knowledge that holds still while one studies it—and let history slide. For history. these days. won't hold still to be examined. While Philip was gettine a boundary fixed in mind, some dictator was shifting it, and while he was absorbing the lowdown on a_ nation’s form of covernment. the government sprinted over the border ahead of invaders bent on overturnine evervthing. Apparently Philip's logic told him to let bubbling history alone until it simmers down and jells. Recalling how fast historical changes have hit the world just in the past few years, our sympathies are with the young man. We feel sure his illustrious dad. who probably knows as_ much about history as anybodv vou can name. won't feel Philin’s failure. As-is the prerogative of all. cood fathers. he probablv acrees most heartily with Phil’s pals who. while the history teachers were ruling him out, voted Phil the senior ‘‘the most likely to succeed.’’—Contributed. ‘ Walt Dial . Lookine bevond the immediate issue of whether Germany and Italy shal! displace Britain and France as dominant European powers, the American public seems swiftly nearing a conviction that civilization as we know it cannot endure permanently half free under democracy and half slave under totalitarianism. For this the age of the limitless power of the machine. And nations under democracy, which employ machines in peaceful processes of overcoming their environment and providing better working conditions, ever higher living standards and comforts for mankind, cannot endure living beside nations that, under dictatorship, employ machines to conquer and kill other men. “The machine in the hands of irresponsible conquerors becomes the master.’’ President Roosevelt said last week “Mankind is not only the servant but the victim,” First, Hit ler and Mussolini, turned the machine against their own peoples—crushing their liberties, forcing them to privations, so all national energies and resources could be divided to armaments. Then they turned the war machine against neighbor peoples—invading, oppressing, destroying. America has created machines to provide scores of millions with the good thines of life. Henry Ford can. and probably will in this crisis” produce 100 fighter planes a day; but he has used his machines and genius to build nearly 30,000.000 family automobiles. America’s utilities can provide limitless power for _national rearmament—but the utilities have centered development on human usefulness, to the degree that today one cent buys enough electricity to toast 50 slices of bread. run a clock a week, make eight pounds of ice, wash 24' pounds of clothes. Temporarily. we must build to match the mightiest. military forces in Europe. We have no other choice for national safety. Yet, in the long run, one of the two systems—peaceful employment of machines by free men for national well being or warlike employment of machines by slaves of dictators for world conquest—must give way to the other. The two systems cannot endure permanently side by side. A world divided against itself so fundamentally cannot stand. That is the world problem of democracy—of staggering, beset democracy in Europe, and of strong, determined democracy in the Onited States of America.—Contributed. An Appeal For War Victims (By Walter Lipmann) The Red Cross is raising money to be spent in saving the lives of the sick, the hungry, and the homeless men, women and children of Western Europe. I wonder if it is necessary to argue with the American people that they ought to help these victims of the war, to marshal the reasons why it is wise to help the helpless, to make appeals to their charity and their sense of duty? _If in the house next door there is a family. which is sick and hungry, what is it that a civilized man wishes to be told? Does he wish to be told that it will be profitable to save that family? Does he wish to be told that it will be a prodent investment to buy the good will of that family? . think not. In fact, I believe that he will resent such argument. For the argument is beneath his dignity as a self-respecting man. What he wishes to know is the fact that his neighbor is sick and hungry; what he needs too be told is how the sick can be cured and the hungry fed, and just how he can do his part in *e6 107 min sirece Nevada ‘County Photo Center PHONE 67 i Drorvceraprer i se Portraits, Commercial Photography,.-8 Hour Kodak Finishing, Old Copies, Enlarging and Framing, Kodaks and Photo Supplies; Movie Cameras and Films made payments throughout the naPermanent Chairman .:epublican Conventicn. ee Representative Joseph W. Martin, Jr., of Massachusetts The Republican Leader of the House of Representatives will preside over the deliberations of the delegates to the Republican National Convention, which opens at Philadelphia on June 24.

Stassen of Minnesota Governor Stassen will act as temporary chairman of the Republican National Convention, which meets at Philadelphia\on June 24. Just 33 years old, Governor Stassen is not only the youngest Governor of any state in the Union, but the youngest man ever to have been selected as Keynoter for a major party. He will have the duey of keynoting the issues upon which the Republican campaign for tha Presidency ‘and V.ce-Presidency wil] be waged this year. helping them, and that is all. The rest is for his conscience. And presumably the consciences of those who give money are every bit as good as the consciences of those who are raising it. \ There is, therefore, no more need to argue the dase for supporting the Red Cross today than there is need to\argue that a hungry child must be fed, that a man who has ‘been knocked down must be picked up and taken to the hospital, that a family whose house has burned down must be given shelter. No doubt reasons can be advanced — if there were time we could all think up no end of reasons—why charity is better than cold-blooded indifference, why men have a duty to their neighbors, why the saving of life is a sacred obligation. But . do not believe that the American people have to be told the reasons for righteousness. If the reasons are not now ingrained in their conscinces by the religious experience of the past two thousands years, then the reason for charity cannot now be implanted in the unbelieving and the faithless by any argument we can expound.

We are quite wil]ing divide the blame for this condition between the President and Congress. But we are deeply. suspicious of ‘delegated powers.” Powers that are delegated are too often powers that are lost to the people. f The fathers wrote into the Constitution a distribution of powers, defining them, and allotting them to the three ‘branches of government, judicial, legislative and executive. We need a President who will be wise enough to refuse the sceptre conferred when Congress delegates to him or to bureaus which he controls, powers which the Constitution writers never contemplated. A strong centralized Federal government must ably weaken: popular government We think it would require many years before the people finally surrendered all power to a central government, but any thoughtful citizen must see that the ‘trend in legislative, judicial and — executive branches of the government in the last eight years, has strongly set in that direction. To halt this trend, we look to the Republican party. The first step the peopl+ can take is to uphold the tradition against third terms. If Roosevelt should receive a ‘‘mandate’’ to continue his present course, for another four years, it may prove that in. 1944 it will be too late ever to restore democratic government in this country. inevitEXPERT RADIO REPAIRING — Loud Speaker Systems for Rent vu: Sale.
