Baldwin, military ; expert of The New York Times: “Germany can maintain a land strength | cf about 300 divisions, It can draw on 149 to 180 divisions from satelite powers in Eu- rope. Japan, in the Orient, adds 70 to 100 | divisions to this total. “The United Nations have in Russia, whose strength is unknown, around 300 di- | visions, some in Siberia. The British, who mobilized 95 divisions in the first World War, have 70 or 80 divisions and other Al- ied forces, including Polish, Norwegian, Fighting French, from five to ten divisions. This estimate gives the United Nations, i without the participation of American sol- | diers, 390 divisions. Opposed to them, on the Axis side, are some 440 to480 divisions. Obviously, as Mr. Baldwin, says, “If }. 7 the United States does not, to Somé extent, equalize this balance, not one else.gan.”” yp HERE’S A SILLY IDEA! We can hardly imagine a sillier bill than that introduced in Congr by Repre- sentative Kennedy, of New York. He would repeal the half-century-old | Chinese Exclusion Act and grant the Chi. \\nese rights of entry into the United States and rights of citizenship. Obviously, if the result of the legisla- tion would be to permit the entry of a few intelligent Chinese, there would be little or no objection. However, the chances are, if the bill passes Chinese coolies by the thousands, This, the United States would acquire + notherace. question. The people of this country should not forget that much of the immigration from Europe was promoted for the purpose of bringing in cheap labor and that there are | foreign settlements. in the United States here English is a secondary language.

Only so far as it af- fects yourself or your own pocketbook. ment of any kind to give away taxpayers’ money. So the right thing for those county | commissioners, who made a gift of $200 to a local industry to be used toward paying taxes, to have done“would have been vo diz } down into théirown' pockets for che amount ) | of taxpayers’ money they gave away. Further; three out of five of the pres- ent commissioners did not even enter into a “gentleman’s agreement’’ to keep down the assessment on the property in question to $1,500. Hence, not even that excuse can be made conscientiously for the $200 gift, as the three commissioners, unaffected by an agreement of any nature, comprise a majority of the board. What puts a darker complexion on ihe relieve the company of part of its taxation sideration, the vote standing two to two and ene member not voting because he was.em- ployed by the company that requested the abatement of the assessment. But the determination of the propon- ents of the proposal was so firm, another course was pursued, and this time the em- -ploye who had refrained from voting be- fore added his affirmative vote to the votes of'two other commissioners. Woodrow Wilson’s assertion, ‘A public dollar is a public thrust,” has been quoted 2 thousand times, and it will continue to be quoted because it lays down a basic prin- ciple that-all men and women who are j placed in public offices should observe. If a man wishes to end his own money freely, or wishes to give away his own money, that is his own concern, but when he gives away money that has been placed in his keeping by the public, then he lic elected him to perform. “Aw, that’s the county’s money,” too many people are given to asserting, “what's the difference!” The difference is that the county’s money is the taxpayers’ money, and that’s. a world of difference, at any time, and par- of burdensome taxation, Our inquisitiveness makes it possible for us to know others better than we know ourselves. We have not yet given up hope but the guy that has owed us twenty dollars since 1929 is far behind schedule. “Begorra,” says Pat, “considering the brave dades this Tim O’Shenko is doing in Russia, he sure is a credit to the Irish race.’ right. There is no use for any rationing; what they ought to do is to get after the enemy and lick em and come home.” quoted war as the true realization of the faitional spirit—not the medicine of man but mal food and exercise; and culmi- s at last in the open belief that “we St regard war as red by God.” That kind of ideology pro- duced the Germany of today, and must be | destroyed for its own and the world’s good. HOME FRONT SLACKERS | The rationing of canned foods is upon | us and the point system is beginning to be- | come clearer, now that beans, etc., have a definite value. their coupon books. Soon they will begin to | giving coupons. You may expect the usual crop of com- plaints. They will come from the same pee- | ple who have grumbled about every pre- vious regulation. Gradually, it will dawn upon us that we are fighting a rigorous.war, and that we | strike into our homes the war will come closer and we will lose our tolerant attitude to the home-front chislers. | It is just as well. Parents and wives of ‘men slain in battle, while fighting to de- | fend this nation, will take more interest in | | what kind of nation we have at home. } Home-front slackers, regulation cheat- | ers and their ilk will be denounced, detest- 'ed and degraded. No American soldier | should be asked to die for their benefit and j no loyal American, at home, should coun- | tenance their sneaking ways. THE KEY WES?
