These f»r-**elng admirals were
looking at the facts which indicated that to* aggressor* had evil
designs and they knew that toe
United SUtes. loafing along in
nival building, was no match for
the combination. -\
If toe United SUU*. under the
policy announced by SecreUry
Byrne*, seeks to limit world armaments again, to free the world
from toe fears and burdens to
large armed forces, let u* hope
that our Government will be In-
Ulllgent enough to maintain the
forces allotted to this country at
the maximum strength permissible
under any treaty arrangement.
• Any other policy, however unnecessary tt may look today, will
invite nations In the future to follow the course of Germany, IUly
and Japan. Disarmament can contribute to peace only so long as It
is relative and a naUon which Instigates such a policy should see
that it maintains a proper ratio of
strength.

Sprayers
and
Insecticides
We now have a fairly complete stock
of new sprayers and insecticides. We
have both the hand and the knapsack
sprayers. We have on hand a spray
for practically any type of insect that
might feed in your gardens. Remember that we handle the famous Hudson
Sprayers.
Now that the summer sun is beating down during most of the daylight
hours, we suggest that you come in
and see us about a Tractor Umbrella.
We havtfUmbrellas that will fit almost
any type tractor. You will be amazed
at the efficiency with which they work
in affording you some shade where it
would otherwise not exist. We also
have a good Canvas Waterbag that will
keep your drinking water cool during
the hottest summer days.
. Although Cook Stoves and Heaters are not now a seasonal item, we
recommend that since they are scarce
you come in and look at some of the
models we now have on hand. Do not
wait until next winter to purchase
yourself a new stove as the present
outlook does not give too much relief
in the availability of more stoves. We
have several nice Ranges that we are
sure would be a welcome addition to
your homes.

Truman's "Greatest Ajce"
Faces Diflicult Hurdles
The United Stare* U "facing the
greatest age In its history." de-
clafres President Truman.
The words are strangely familiar. They are practiceUy toe same
as those used by toe ardent supporters of the "American system"
during toe years following toe
first World War, when nearly
everybody praised "individual to
illative" but did little or nothing
to meet a great economic crisis.
Let us hope that the Truman
prophecy will be more accurate
than the two-cars-ln-evry-garage
slogan whtch wa* widely repeated ln the late twenties. We would
like to tee toe nation's economy
develop along this tin*, and there
is a chance that it will, but toe
evidence today Indicates, to us at
least, that toe people of the nation
are about to follow toe same
wiU-o'-toe-wlsps.
Whst are they?
First, the theory that war having ceased, peace Is assured and
toe United SUtes can disarm with
safety.
Second, the idea that Uxes, can
be reduced and that this is the
flrst step toward phenomenal
prosperity.
Third, that aU controls csn be
abolished, desplU to* existence
of unusual and abnormal economic conditions, both in the naUon
and throughout toe world.
Fourth, the resurgence of paslf-
ism, with denunciation of war as
evil, the glorification of conscientious objectors and subtle efforts to put the blame of the UU
war upon American leaders.
Fifth, toe belief thst war is the
result of armaments and. consequently, If there is reduction of
armaments, there Is a lessened
chance of war.
Sixth, the belief that what the
United SUtes does, or does not
|do. will alone determine whether
this .natiun will become Involved
In another war.
Seventh, the reaction foUowing
war regulations that now Is tbe
time to take off restraint so that
busines can "get going** with
larger profits than ever before.
Eighth, toe Undency of Americans to champion foreign causes,
such as the Independence of India, th* esUblishmcnt of Palls-
tine as s home for toe-Jews, toe
war ot the Catholic church against
communism, toe Soviet progr*m in
adjoining territories, etc sod ect
Ninth. the failure to recognise
the one-world economy or toe u-
nique pcaiUon of the United
SUtes. as a creditor nation. In
connection with the development
of commerce between peoples,
necessary to Utt living standards.
Tenth, the Undency to tdealiz*
all Issues upon a basis of moral
principles and therefor* to stubbornly refuse all compromise with
those wbo do not hav* our common culture or opinion*.
There are a tew other illusion*
that could he llsUd but we will
put them off unUl a later day.
