The building would not have been con- structed without a straight deed of | went, and the city took no part ii financing it @) The city, even with WPA help, would never be able to match the $15,000 a year YMCA Representative L. L. Trent said his organization is | ready to spend for its operation. Ss Backers of the plan for city opera- tien of the center never expected to spend | such a sum as $15,000'a year for a recrea- } tion program, and they know the money | | coud not have been raised, even if the | county had been willing to help. ; Although it is true the program prob- ably ould have been financed for less, that "argument is a difficult one to take to the federal government, since the building was i constructed primarily to give members of the armed services a good time, not to give a demonstration of economy. Whether the city ever will regain con- trol of the building as a community recrea- tion hall is problematical. army forces stay here in sufficient num- | will relinquish control. j Should the armed forces go back to the | point they maintained a few years ago, the | government probably would arrange some | system for leasing the property to the | atarate low enough not to make much @ ference. There is no question of the city having given away its recreation building. It | didn’t have one. CHINA REJECTS PEACE OFFERS For nearly six pionths, actording te T. increasingly faverable terms.” Mr. Soong says that the Japanese | hope to press their advance towards Singa- | pore and “can well afford to give China /“=~ liberal terms now” because “after the fall would automatically go by the board.” Mr. Soong says that the Japanese ; reasoning is “perfectly sound” and that it is “so sound that the Chinese can see it too.” The reaction of the Chinese Govern civen 2 ment to peace offers from Japan demon- strates that there can be no peace in the | world until nations have faith in the struggling against grave odds in a war more than three years old, is forced to the con- ‘clusion that she must reject peace terms be- | + cause she can place no faith in the pledged | word of her adversary. The same observation applies to Ex- repe. Regardless of what peace offer Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini put forth to day, there is no responsible statesman on the other side who is able to put any faith in the German or Italian word. In short, practically all British offi- cizls would regard such an offer with sus picion, viewing it as a stratagem, designed to lull them to sleep. They know, past experience, that ancther attack would begin whenever the truce served the pur- pase of Germany and Italy. GOATS The 1940 census reveals, we are in- formed, that there are 3,417,347 goats in ie States. ; ber 3,298,351 and milking goats aggregated ¢ 118,896. There seems to be some mistake in the | Census figures. There are goats, not An- gora, that produce no milk and they seem te be overlooked. Letting the discrepancy pass, we find ) that Texas has 2,733,553 Angoras, which. | as anybody knows, is enoagh Angoras.
