Rudyard Kipling says he did not criticise America’s war Those American defenders who sassed back at can now say they didn’t mean it, either. So, we ive averted another war. ; Tt is nearly time in the history of America’s growing- period that we show a unanimous attitude of self-contfi- t calm when foreigners arise to express irritation at ways, In the natural course of human events, ers like their own countries and thelr own ways Sometimes they say so agreeably, and with pre- modesty. Sometimes they don’t. When the spirit moves an American, nobody can outdo im in exposing the weak spots of foreign nations. Criticism of Europe, Asia and Africa is a favorite pastime this favored continent. But, when somebody on a ighboring continent has a few things to say in return, Ta certain class of Americans consider the final proof has ‘been given that the rest of the world is consumed by of the freedom, justice, wealth and loving kindness t pervade this nation alone thruout the cosmos.

Learning to Make Our Own Goods “The combination of tight times, high rail rates and a onged railroad strike will do more for the develop- of the Pacific coast than most of us imagine. The West has the resources, the power, the cheap and tile farm lands, raw materials of every sort, but until recently the West has been shipping these ma- rials two and three thousand miles for manufacture, then it has been shipping back much of the finished uct for home consumption.
