We have an US.A Department of War constantly thinking, planning, working, drilling, practicing for war, disability, de- struc and death. Why not have an US.A.

The time to begin is to begin. Peace comes by thinking things. I have dedicated my Howdy Thinks Music Game to the establishment of an U.S.A. Department of Peace.

The trend, say our Republican friends, is away from the New Deal landslide of 1936, in (which the Democrats carried every State except | Maine and Vermont., It seems to us we have a dim memory of the| Republicans taking similar comfort from the| results of a straw poll taken four years ago. That| poll had Landon (remember him?) actually elecled‘ Roosevelt. | No matter how noble a-showing the Republicans may have made since November 1936, having 214/ electoral votes against 317 is like holding a second-| best poker hand. You can't win with it except by bluffing—so our G.O.P. neighbors are trying that. [ over IDENTIFICATION [ STATIO San Francisco now has a Chinese-language radio , KSAN, which broadcasts speeches and music primarily for the 20,000 inhabitants of the city's| Chinatown, It the first regular Chinese broad- cast originating this country. It is said you can recognize the program and | distinguish it from all other U.S. radio broadcasts | because at the beginning the announced says some- | “Ho la mar, gorkwia; gorkwia, Ho la| is in | thing like: mar.” | Of Course We Have Plans | (Cincinnati Enquirer) | What is the matter with Representative Tink-| ham of Massachusetts? Has he just discovered we | have plans for the possible movement of troops | from New York Harbor? Does he not know the; favorite occupation of the War College? What does | he think the War Department does in tinles of | peace? Generals, Admirals, and bright young officers, with a flair for strategy, have worked out plans in| detail for all kinds of contingencies. And so have the armies and navies of every other country. That | is their job. No one knows in advance what may happen and these careful plans are a part of pre- paredness. All of us hope to keep out of war, but it is well for us to be ready for anything that might or pos- sibly could happen. If Mr. Tinkham has ideas to the contrary, it shows that the good old common sense with which Yankees were supposed to be en- dowed was omitted in his case Ten-Day Promissory Note (Philadelphia Record) It is reported that Mussolini has assured our Ambassador that Italy does: not contemplate going to war. At least not in the next 10 days. Is the report true? We answer that question with another: Does it matter? Suppose Il Duce has given our Ambassador a note for peace, what reason is there for putting any faith in it? Il Duce's record of broken promises and ruthless aggression is inferior to Hitler's only in the sense that Tl Duce has tackled fops who were almost completely helpless to start with, If 11 Duce chose to go to war, however, a prom- ise would hardly deter him. And if he had any such present intention, would he have told our Am- bassador so? 4 Peace in the Mediterranean depends not Mussolini’s promises but on British naval power. Mercy Killers on (New York Times) The choice of the name for German National Labor Day, said Dr. Hans Borslors, German Consul General in New York, “denotes our dedication to peace.” “Bloodshed is growing,” said Commissar Voroshi- loff in*a May Day address to massed Soviet troops in Moscow’s Red Square. “Warmongers will try to drag us into the war and then attach one or an- other part of our territory.” Shades of Poland and Finland! Of Czecho- slovakia, Denmark and Norway! Is there no limit to the zest of these disciples of euthanasia? The original Trojan horse, it seems has a num- erous and pestiferous progeny.
