Presidency of that nation through the jungles—without Congressional authority—-and later had General McCoy, with his Marines, police the election down there. We bombarded Vera Cruz and took temporary possession of the city without Congressional blessing and Pershing invaded Mexico in chase of Villa, on the same basis. Outside the Hemisphere The argument is made by the isolationists that these were incidents appertaining to the Western Hemisphere— but there is no Constitutional provision limiting the exercise of the powers of the Commander-in-Chief.to any one particular part of the globe where American interests are threatened. Moreover, there was no hemispherical question when we sent troops to march on Pekin during the Boxer Rebellion, or long before, when we dispatched warships to Samoa; and we would probably have tangled with Germany then if a cyclone had not piled up our own and their battleships on

the beach.

Another incident that figured in recent Congressional oratory was the alleged engagement of an American war-

discomfort, damage, and danger j g^ip and a German submarine somewhere near Iceland, to the general public in the City, j happened was that one of our destroyers patrolling

in those seas learned through her detective apparatus ot the proximity of the U-boat. There were Briitsh destroyers in that vicinity and seen through a periscope one from the other. So our craft dropped a few depth bombs, while the sub was still so far away as to preclude any damage to her. The Hitler boat took the hint and kept away. I suppose it would be the isolationist contention that the commander of our destroyer should have communicated his predicament to Washington, had it submitted to-Congres-sional debate and been guided by whatever legislative decision was made. True, he might have been torpedoed ‘‘by mistake” some weeks previous to the Congressional decision, but a principle would have been maintained. This absurdity illustrates the whole situation. In the days to come a thousand situations may arise requiring immediate action to avoid grave perils to American lives and

hereinabove referred to, can be i

eliminated, and * the safety and general welfare of the general public be promoted by granting of such franchise contracts. ,N-OW. THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

Educator Says Sons Do Trail Fathers’ Steps Chicago—The old adage “like father, like son,” was borne out by Ruth E. Eckert, associate professor of education at the University of Minnesota, at the annual University of iChicago Conference on Business Education. Citing recent studies indicating the close relationship between a boy’s progress, both in and out of school, and the occupation of his father, Miss Eckert said: “A study in Maryland disclosed that more than eight times as large a proportion of young people whose fathers were in the unskilled labor group left school and went to work before they were 16 years old as was the case with youth whose fathers were professional; or technical workers. The study also indicated that if a boy’s father has a low income job the odds are three to one against the boy rising to a white collar level. Conversely, the study showed that the chances of falling from a white collar job to a lower income level are four to one. o Legal Notice NOTICE OF SALE MUNCIE TEMPORARY LOAN WARRANTS

Austin, Tex. — An organized search is- under way by University of Texas geologists for minerals that are needed in the nation’s rearmament program. Texas leads the nation in oil and gas production, and has the only helium gas supply in the United States. Its income from minerals last year was $800,000,000, about 40 per cent more than from agri-

culture.

The university bureau of business research reported a steady increase in mineral development, with a 75 per cent rise in income between 1929 and 1940.' Oil and gas account for 90 per cent of the sum, but $50,000,000 worth of other minerals were sold last year. Siv Vital Minerals Available Field trips of the University of Ttixas geologists have revealed that six “^trategic’i minerals—for which sources outside the continental United States have been used in the past—are available in Texas. These are chromite, nickel, manganese, tungsten, tin and bismuth. These important war materials have been found only in small quantities so far, but the development has not been pressed before. In Mason county, central Texas, geologists have found tin oxide in the sand of streams and now are prospecting the stream-beds to locate the main deposits, from which

the tin comes. .

Asbestos Also Found Of 20 minerals which federal authorities list as “critical,” but of which there is no present shortage, only asbestos has been found in preliminary surveys. During the last World war, the need for potash led to extensive research for the product in Texas, and beds were found in six West

Texas connives.

American Thought Must Reach Agreement James A. Marsh, Democratic National Committeeman for Colorado, recently told the members of the Young Democratic League of Colorado, meeting in state convention, that “the imperative requirement of today is that there shall be an immediate mobilization of public thought in America.” “This at the present hour will be America’s strongest defense,” Marsh declared. He said the time had come when all should uphold the hand of the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy “in his supreme effort to defend America.” He contrasted the way of life in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, and said: “In the Eastern Hemisphere it is a common custom to refer to the king, the dictator and potentate as ‘his majesty’ and to him the people pay homage in thought and in deed. In America we have a ‘majesty’ to which we are equally devoted and to which we pay homage, but it is not to a person or potentate; we pay homage in America to the ‘majesty of the law’; a law of universal and impartial application. This law is glorified by the stars and stripes which signalizes liberty and equality in every American home. “People, in a great crisis like this, are interested in ideas rather than in ambitions, and in measures rather than men.” He directed attention to the fact that “the ballot of the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker is of equal value with that of the chief executive of the largest corporation in America or with the highest ranking official.” “In the present world crisis, we seemed perplexed to know how best to defend our American institutions—that is, defend our American way of life. “We are agreed we must mobilize our material resources and that our national defense must be so strong as to be impregnable. We as a nation do not seem to understand it is equally as imperative to mobilize our thought so that we can all agree upon a course of action and make our domestic and foreign policy a definite vitalizing force, to be supported loyally and faithfully by all. “But in order to make our democracy effective, a time must come, if it is not already here, when debate must be translated into positive, definite, affirmative action.”

A Showdown On Strikes By J. E. Jones Washington, D. C.—Very likely President Roosevelt has never found anything harder in all of his official career than issuing an order 'to the War Department to take over and break up the strike in the North American Aviation Company plant in California. The President in his statement referred to the friendly spirit of the administration towards labor unions. He has stood his ground in defending the Wagner Act and the National Labor Relations Board through the past years. However, he has been poorly supported by Federal administrators of labor laws. The President appointed the Mediation Board, which has made a good record considering its lack of power. It attempted to prevent the California strike, but met with defiance. The situation was so unreasonable that Mr. Roosevelt had no course open except to take over the plant. Attorney General Jackson accused the leaders of the strike with following “the Communist party line,” which accused the strikers with being led by reds who were not willing to support their own Government and the defense program. The public must not forget, when complaining of the CIO, that its National president Philip Murray and the executive board of the CIO demanded obedience to the President; and assured the strikers that they could depend upon the Government to protect their rights. But a few bad leaders continued to defy the authority of the President. The probabilities are that some Federal body like the Mediation Board will be given sufficient power to settle labor disputes, and enforce equal justice to all concerned. That looks like a sensible remedy—and it ought not to be very hard to put in operation.

Synod Delegates Dine Heavily Fort Wayne, Ind.—When the Missouri Synod of the Lutheran church met here, delegates consumed 10,0(>0 pounds of meat, 750 bushels of potatoes, 340 gallons of milk, 3,100 loaves of bread, and 3,400 pies. No fewer than 14,000 cookies were eaten, and the delegates were lusty cake-eaters, too— 14,600 pieces disappearing.
