B) Would you bear arms for the ‘United States in invading an enemy country? 2. Do you believe a navy and air force second to none would insure us from being drawn into another great ‘war? 3.

Being a war veteran, Johnson isn't afraid of a fight; so he waded in, rounded up the four single- handed, and turned them over to the police. Next day a mysterious stranger warned him not to testify against them in court or he would be taken for @ ride. Johnson laughed at him. A couple of nights later three men jumped on him near his home, to put the threat into execution. Johnson started his fists swinging—and pretty soon these three were in police cells, along with the other four. ‘These fearsome city gangsters evi- dently aren't quite so tough, after all —if one lone citizen, equipped only with courage and a good physique, can handle seven of them. Declining Births If the American birth rate con- tinues to decline in the next 50 years at the rate recorded in the last dec- ade, the country is in for some very difficult times. ‘This is the warning of Dr. Oliver M. Baker, senior economist of the department of agriculture, in a re- cent speech. ‘We have almost reached a station- ary population, and Dr. Baker re- marks that this may be a very good thing—if it only remains stationary. But a continued fall in the birth rate would eventually bring us to a declin- ing population; and under such con- dition, he says, economic reactions would be severe. ‘The demand for farm and indus- trial products would progressively dwindle; rents and interest returns would slide steadily downward, with catastrophic effect on the whole spirit of private enterprise. It is a gloomy picture. But it is possible to wonder if the declining birth rate recently has not been, at least in part, a reflection of the con- fused condition of society as a whole. Let that confusion be straightened out, and it is possible that the birth rate would begin to rise once more. Editorial Comment Eéitorials printed below show the trend gf thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. Yardsticks (Chicago Tribune) ‘The administration justifies the construction of government public service facilities to duplicate private Plante—the Tennessee Valley project as an outstanding example—on the theory that they will serve as yard- sticks to measure the efficiency and service charges of the privately own- ed institutions. The politician arg- ues, “We are satisfied that the power interests are gouging the public, so we, the people, will build a modern experimental plant of our own to be operated as @ yardstick. Then we shall know all about power costs.” To the citizen the argument seems very much like having the govern- ment build him a second home to prove that the original contractor fense and by reason of the rather Gisquieting international situation. What the potential soldiers of to- morrow think about war should be an important factor in guiding na- tional policies, both on national de- Tense and the education of its youth.

He doesn’t want two homes and he knows that he cannot assume the taxes to build another. Purther, he may be just a trifle sus- Picious that the yardstick may prove nothing. The federal barge line and railway projects certainly did not, and the country is strewn with municipal undertakings frequently regarded as white elephants. He might well re- mark, “All this interest in my family budget is very flattering, but can't you think of some less expensive way of proving that my bill for electricity is too high? After all, it is a rela- tively unimportant item.” ‘The administration certainly can find @ wealth of information on the subject if it will take the trouble to look around «@ bit.

There is an abundance of yardsticks here avail- able for study. Canada has two principal railways, one government owned and one pri- vately owned.

Just Forget That Dream of Early Budget Balancing ... . President Merely Hoping as He puts it Squarely Up to Industry ... Chal- lenge Flang at Veterans, (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Jan. 16—Early budget balancing officially became @ joke on the morning of Jan. 5. With a hey nonny nonny and a ha-ha-ha! It was in President Roosevelt's new office, where the president was care- fully explaining his new budget to a hundred correspondents, as @ school teacher might give an arithmetic lesson. He was flanked by young Budget Director Dan Bell and, more im- Portantly, by Secretary Henry Mor- genthau, who is the real budget boss now, in case you hadn’t heard. Roosevelt wise-cracked that they'd tried to get the budget so simple that even he could understand it and you'd Probably have enjoyed being there, just to see the way everybody tossed the billions around the room. Very blithely, the president said: “We will have to borrow only $3,788,- 000,000 next year.” The only trouble was that there are drafts in this many-windowed office and one fears that Mr. Roosevelt will soon again be developing a bad cold. ‘HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL’ Last year he had said we should plan to have @ definitely balanced budget by the fiscal year 1935-36 and now he was estimating a 1935-36 gross deficit of $4,528,000,000. Some of the boys seemed a bit dis- turbed about that. “Are you now looking forward to a balanced budget at the end of some other year?” one questioned. “I hope so,” came the answer with a merry laugh. “Hope springs eternal!” After that, it was everybody's cue to laugh when anybody tried to pin the president down as to when budget balancing might be hoped for. He estimated next year’s deficit as smaller than this one by about three hundred millions and hoped to keep on reducing them, but— He insisted what he had said last year about balancing the budget this year was merely expression of “a very pious hope.” CHALLENGES BIG BUSINESS Finally, you began to get the point that this gay and grinning president was really laughing at the bankers and business men who keep telling him to balance the budget. In effect, he was telling them. “Balance it yourselves.” He meant that private industry could cut the deficit by providing for employment and made the point that beer i ESTER l THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1935 the budget really was being balanced —except for the four billion dollars he wants appropriated for relief work in 1935-36, The budget was so arranged as to throw the challenge smack in the face m files or other insects.
