Here are some of the items it has to tackle: Balancing the | budget ; taking government out of competi- tion with business from which it draws its sustenance; amending the Wagner Act; overhauling the tax structure; and last but not least, giving business a break. If there is favorabe action on all of the above items, much will have been accomplished, and the ship of state will once more sail * serenely on calmer waters. iv What do you eall that peculiarity in human nature by which you tip your home town help in restaurants and other places where service is given a measly nickel or | ~dime, and find yourself on visits to other places, particularly New York, bursting with generosity and pompously shelling out quarters, 50-cent pieces and even dol- lar bills to menials whom you have never seen or ever will see again?

It cer- tainly does not seem reasonable that if our case is properly presented the government officials would be unable to see the in- eongruity of a city water system without a fresh water supply to put in it. The aqueduct commission, if it has not already done so, and our civic organiza- | tions should immediately take steps to con- tact U. S. Senators Claude Pepper and C€. ©. Andrews and urge them to present the situation in its true light to the lending authorities and the President at once. Fresh water is an imperative step toward our complete economic recovery. FOR FORCE TO PRESERVE PEACE It is generally assumed that American. citizens would not favor the employment of the combined navies of the world as an international peace preservation force, but, just the same, in 1910, Congress passed a resolution authorizing the appointment of a commission to consider just such a | proposition. The commission was also to study the use of existing international agencies to | limit armaments. The bill seemed to reflect American public opinion before the World War. It was signed by President Theodore Roose- velt, but if the mission ever got to- gether, nothin: Id be done to avert the World War which broke out in 1914. The idea behind the resolution basically sound. World peace will be se- eure only so long as sufficient power exists to restrain greed and aggression. Of is power for peace is wielded unselfishly. So far, there seems to be no adequate force available in the world for such a purpose. WHY NOT THINK? It’s a little thing te Just to think. Anyone no matter who, Ought to think.
