Cause of much of this bitterness are two matters of im— ‘ mense importance to the American people—our policy and our neutral-1 ity policy. One to a degree will de termine the future economic course of this country. The other will have an immediate bearing on whether we shall become participants if an other world war occurs, or whether we shall manage to escape being di rectly involved in its toll of life and property. The money fight was over the proposal that the Executive’s emerg ency powers in valuing gold should be continued—and over the policy of Treasury silver purchases. For several years, the United States has been buying foreign silver in tre mendous quantities. It has likewise purchased U. S. mined silver at a price substantially higher than the world price—64.64 cents per ounce, as against a world price of about 40 cents. And,.by acts of congress, the President has been empowered to reduce the gold con tent of the dollar to as little as 50 per cent of its former value. This last phase of the question was by far the most important issue at stake. Administration supporters wanted it continued—the measure legalizing it expired at midnight, June 30. “Hard money" men wanted it abolished. In the Senate, the “hard-money” advocates, led by Senator Glass, threatened to talk the bill to death through a filibust er. This development, in the words of Time, caused the President to “hit the ceiling.” He immediately stated that an effort was being made to re turn the control of money to “Wall Street speculators." Answer to this came promptly from Senator Vandenburg, who said, “I wonder if our distinguished Exec utive realized precisely what he was saying . . . that when congress con trols money, Wall Street controls it.” The “hard-money” men were adamant—with the Milt that when midnight came on June 30, the Pros ident's power over the gold content was not renewed. ‘ Then the administration forces went to work, and made a deal with the silver minded Senators whereby . they ottered _to raise the price paid for domestic mined silver to about 'll cents per ounce. And this swung the day. In a vote taken a few days later, an act to renew the Exe cutive's gold power was approved by a narrow margin. There is now con siderable question as to its legality. So the President won a provisional victory. But the fact that so much opposition within his own party de veloped against a power which was granted him overwhelmingly by previous congresses was a blow to the White House—and it further mumines the rift between congress and the President. Not since the advent of the New Deal has the ad ministration’s majority in the Sen ate been so slim as now. Not so clearly defined are the ranks of those who are battling the neutrality issue. The President, hacked by Secretary Hull, wants wide discretionary powers. He does not want to be forced to automatic- ‘ ally forbid the shipment of arms to ‘ fighting nations. Instead, he pre- 1 fers a law which would permit any nation to buy whatever it wants'in this country, including ms and munitions, on a cash-and-earry ba sis, whereby it would have to attain immediate title to whatever it bought and move its purchases in its own ships. Some men who are with the President in most matters, op pose this, feel it might lead us into war. Other men who are opposed to the President in his domestic pol icies, favor it. Irrespective of Who is right. the strong congressional isolationist bloc, led by influential Senators Dumb and Johnson, convinced their - colleagues that the President's dis w MICKIE SAYS— ROSES ARE RED, VtOLETS ARE BLuE. AND so ARE WE, WHEN YOU Dom RENEW/ €111» {Krmwmirk Gautier-Btpnrtrr . .‘.:mary authority should be ma .rially curbed. The administration :ders felt sure that the cash-and crrry plan would pass the House. Whatever fate might be in store for it in the Senate, but they guessed wrong. Passed, by a vote of 214 to 173, was an amendment by Rep resentative Vorys flatly. specifying: that no belligerant nation, large or‘ small, may purchase arms and am-‘ munition in this country. ‘ Other sections of the bill, which received House approval by the nar row margin of 200 to 188, provide that congress, as well as the Presi dent. may declare that a state of ‘war exists between nations ;that U. IS. citizens will travel on ships fly iing the flags of warring nations at ;their own risks, and that purchases iof non-war materials in this coun ‘try by beligerants must be on the cash-and-carry basis. There is a certain practical weak ness in forbidding belligerents to buy arms here—after all, such peaceful commodities as oil and lea ther and metals are as vital to the pursuit of modern war as shells and guns and airplanes. But the ac tion of congress shows the growing feeling that the cynical lessons we have learned from our participation in the last war make it essential that we do everything conceivable to maintain aboslute neutrality. . MORE FIGURING The Bureau of Agricultural Eco nomics informs us that the cash in come of American farmers from all sources during the first five months of 1939, was 47 million dollars more than during the same period of the previous year. But we must re member that the government bor rowed about 151 million dollars to help under their farm program, and figures show that sales from farm products decreased 104 million dol lars. So this doesn’t make the first figuring mean so much. If you are getting less from your product and the government is spending money towards increasing it, there is some thing wrong ,in the figuring. The federal loan must be paid. The farmer must not be too confident with the 47 million dollar increase. The matter of the third term for‘ President Roosevelt is attractingl much attention. Some who are‘ Roosevelt followers oppose a third‘ term because it is a violation of‘ precedent. or c'omse all those 091 posed to Roosevelt object to his hav-‘ ing a third term. They are, on the other hand. a considerable number who do not feel that the-question of a third term is nearly so important as the man who may fill the office. The question who ‘would give better managed administration is more im portant to many than the question ‘of the third or even the fourth term. None of us like to hear a man brag on his poverty any more than we like to hear him brag on his riches. .. . . -,.‘. . ___...7"7.-:- ,- ’.’/91"].W.}L-L'."':f.';.-xs;- " '53 , ~.;.; _ 5:4 553/; .' .-.’/.r.-:4- ’0" r ~ ' - ' '3‘ - ' ~'..._.':;:;.9;,5f£’;_:;555;z(5;z;:§; , -:9s%;;g2:sg:s:f:§;;.cssl:l:iz:’:ssszét'-$32:57':':3:-’:7:/<3Ti ‘7'} $19345 -' . :,'--.’;.;.;:;;::§;:::::5;'4V,.-4:fi-;-;g:-,';:‘ -‘1:;>:-:-:-;l:'t::-‘~:-:4".".rifiz-‘i<‘iz>;‘,’/"“if-' " ‘ ‘ , 9 - KEEP U?

These camps or "canvas cities" give the youth ad vantages of any regulated sum mer resort, but are conducted along lines of city government with a mayor and officials to run it. The “citizens” receive awards for merit and there are educational meetings besides the enjoyment of the out door life. It is satisfying to all par ‘ents who have children in 441 Clubs land it is with renewed vigor and added vision that these young peo ple return to farms and communi ties better for the association and knowledge gained on this vacation, The secret of community progress is found in two things: First. a def inite plan or program, and second. the cooperation of the resources and leadership of the community behind the program. With such a plan be fore it any community can make progress and come to the end of the year with a program of accomplish ment th'at it can look back upon and experience the thrill that comes from definite accomplishment. The formula is simple but it is remark able how many communities with a desire to get things done fail to adopt it. They. tail: about a lot at things but never center upon any one thing. They dissipate their energy and‘ resource by applying them to several projects. The result is nothing gets finished and theme is no satisfaction or record of accomp lishment to be found at the end of the year. Every'community that has done things for itself has followed this simple formula. They could not have succeeded or have accomplish ed what they have except for this plan. They have selected a definite project and then concentrated all of their efforts and resources upon it uptil it was realized. The plan 1830 simple it is to be wondered that so many miss it. On a recent short trlp we drove through a town in which it seemed all the houses had but recently been painted. They made a pretty pic ture on the close cropped green lawns. They gave the town the ap pearance of thrift, well being and prosperity. They made the town look as' though it would be a good place and a pleasant place in which to live. When it comes to tow: im provement few things are superior to the paint brush. Vice-President Garner has stated { that he expects to see a tax on in-; comes as low as SSOO. We believe it‘ is coming. It will be valuable, not so much because of the amount of money it will raise as the fact that it will give every one a feeling of responsibility and participation in the cost of government. This fact may prompt many who do not now ‘do so to take more interest in their government.
