Barnitd, one df the industrialists, has discussed the proposal »privately: with Legion! léaders. Hé ' Admits” that “industry cannot, sponsor. it’? and that the Chamber ofCommerce or the Manufacturers’; Asso- ciftion cannot sponsor the campaign. He asferts that industry-has lost prestige and that business men are no longer leading af- fairs. + Major Batrel 7 T. Lane, of Utah, one of the’ members of the Americanism Com- mi§sion of the Legion, questions whether the public would respond to a campaign fi- | nanced by a fund given by “business men.” He.put his finger on the matter when he pointed out that while the Legion collected | a child welfare endowment fund and spent money on Americanism, “we raise it from our own pockets.” | This is an intelligent observation. The | Légion would suffer in prestige if it became a Stalking-horse for any group of business | men, interested in. a. propaganda job, re- } gardless of the high:sounding motives Lori tained. in its général prifidiples. .

Grew, former ambassador to | Japan, approves the United States’ plan | forthe destruction of Germany and Japan, saying it is “perfectly co-ordinated and | timed” and designed to do the worst that | cah be done to each while fighting both. This is interesting, particularly in view of the Ambassador's strong presentation of ; the strength of Japan. He has wamed his countrymen that the Japanese will have to be slain in battle because, unlike the Ger- mans, they do not give up when the worst appears inevitable. ¥ i If hot air is what makes a dehydrator fit.in every home: One of these days there may be a sub- | probably be paying a dollar a quart for | | stitute for newspapers, but in the mean- time you might as well send The Citizen to | the boy in the service. | i This writer couldn't cast an aspersion on the men in uniform but civilians might as ! welt understand that a man’s character isn’t necessarily improved by a uniform. | ting some other brutal act. 5 : But we don’t have to Hea sisput any ; more treachery by the Japs tadespise themg | May 4, says to the men who struck: { work, there ought to be a place for an out- | gnd received the high pay of workers in war | days in that city THE SNEAK AND THE BRUTE Colonel James Roosevelt, dent’s eldest son, has joined the ranks of THE KEY the Presi- | those millions of Americans who are anx- | ious for the day to come when the Alllied | cific but in their homeland also.

There ir never any let-up to it; it goes on from hour to hour, from day to day, whenever any- thing happens that causes its recurrence. We despise the Japs now just as much as we did the day they made their sneak at- tack on Pearl Harbor. It may be said that we hate the Germans just as much now as we did when they began to commit their atro- | cities in Poland.

That feeling sticks; it does not have to be whipped up by | the commission of any fresh act. Hur-r-r, how we despise the sneak! How our soul hungers to see him wiped from the face of | the earth! It is that other American in the same attitude that Colonel Roosevelt entertains against the Jap. He, as well as all of us, wants to see Germany crushed, crushed into impotence | from which she will arise only as an indus- | trial power, never again as a military pow- er, but all of us thrill to the words of Prime Mniister Churchill when he promises that | into | Japanese cities will be “pulverized ashes.” We are proud, as Churchill also said, of what the American. and Australian, sol- | 18 4 irrepressible quality of hu- | man nature that places practically every | she exclaimed. } “How thrilling!” | Tom Innes, the prospector, | smiled at-her somewhat shyly. “All these bars have gold,” he | said, “but nobody ever got rich working ‘em.

Unconsciously, she was comparing him to Powell Ward. She wondered. what sort of girl Cleve would marry —if he ever did. An hour later they stopped and drew the canoe inshore. It had be- gun to rain.
