There is many a politician who should not serve all his terms in public office. _ We are all willing to listen to reason . —provided only we dish out the wisdom. A decathlon consists of ten athletic events, such as undressing in an upper berth. Idleness is so unnatural to man that the rich often adopt as sport and fun what to the poor man is toil. One sign of civilization is a lack of interest in scandalous stories, remember that, you scandal-mongers. A Key West chap says you can tell a woman a “dead secret” and it won't be long before there will be life in it. “Key West is fining autoists who blow their horns too noisily.”—Jacksonyille Tribune.

Even if we accept these. definitions of American interests and resolve to protect them, there is considerable difference ‘of | opinion as to the proper method of accom- plishing this object. Some of our citizens would attempt to | insulate the peoples of the Western Hemis- phere against the rest of the world. Others insist that the United States, as the world’s richest nation and its strongest, cannot live alone and must, therefore, participate in the affairs of the world. Between these schools of thought there are many others, including those who see civilization men- aced by aggressors who contend that un- less the United States wishes to fight alone, ° it should adopt a policy designed to assist the democracies of the world in a strong stand now. It may be taken for granted that the American leaders and the American peo- ple desire, first of all, if possible, to' live peaceably with the other nations. of : the ' world. Popular support will go .te the course of action which seems best designed , to maintain peace. ‘ Naturally, the sympathy of the Amer- ican people is with the democracies. More- over, our sympathies go to any oppressed and mistreated peoples anywhere. As a natural consequence, there develops an antipathy toward aggressors and oppres- + sors. There is a popular resentment of their methods and a strong feeling that ex- | presses dangerous emotions. They should not be allowed, however, to control the foreign policy of this country. Just as the United States, in its con- duct of foreign affairs, should be guided * by the interests of Americans, it is obvious that the policies of Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany and Japan will be guided | by the interests of the nations named, as those interests are understood by respon- sible statesmen in the respective countties. Just now, the rulers of Germany, Italy and Japan seem to think that the interests | of their people can be best served by wag- ing aggressive war. They are opposed by nations whose leaders believe that the best interests of their people can be served by peace. Under such circumstances, war is inevitable unless the peace-wanting na- tions ean produce a condition which will convince the leaders of the aggressive na- tions that it will not be to their interest to | begin a war. If this can be accomplished, there will be no war; if the idea cannot be strengthened by concrete evidence which will produce the desired impression in the minds of the dictators, the world will see | another great struggle. However, it will take time for the Am- erican people to make a decision either way, particularly because there exists in } the United States at the present time, con- | trary to what certain warmongers are say- | ing, a bloc of pacific isolationists or non- interventionists, large in number and pre- ponderantly powerful, whose efforts will cause the holocaust to be delayed in the resultant hope that it may be avoided al- together, and a long periad of peace as- sured.
