RELIEF COSTS FOR THIS YEAR WORRY COUNTY

New Debts Seen Inevitable As $526,000 Bond Issue Is Arranged.

By SAM TYNDALL

County officials announced today they would have to go further into debt to pay Center township's poor relief costs for this year. The County Auditor took legal steps to issue a total of $526,000 in bonds to pay for relief through April, May and June, * The bond issue was made necessary because tax money raised by the 19-cent tax levy for the purpose will not be distributed until June, it was explained. However, the total money raised from taxes amounting to approximately $950.000, will not pay the total 1939 relief costs, Chief Deputy Auditor Fabian Biemer declared.

play the role of the sentimental sap . . . For once, we should be smart before the fact.” If it were possible to rule out dictatorial ambitions, Mr. Howard said, there are no questions in Europe which could not be settled by negotiation, and better settled than by war. The complete text of Mr. Howard’s speech: I believe that I know the question that most of you would ask if we were face to face. It is this: Is there going to be a war in Europe this year? I am very sorry, but I can’t answer that question, nor do I believe anyone else can tell you the answer, because I believe that the decision rests with one man—Adolf Hitler. And I doubt very much if even he | knows tonight what the year will | bring forth. To this American audience there is a second question of equal or even greater interest: Will the United States be involved if a war does start in Europe? I am sorry to say that under almost any conditions that can be

If this rate should continue the total] cost of poor relief in the township for 1839 will approximate over $1,728,000, Mr. Smith declared.

Higher Poor Relief Rate Asked

The poor relief bonds which have been issued in the past, mature over 10-year periods. A separate tax rate is set each year to pay off the bonds. The current poor relief bond rate in Center wownshiy is 12 cents. This will raise awproximately $600,000, ! while predictions are- that nearly a alilion dollars must be raised by! bonds this year.

NEW YORK, April 6 (U.

ble to eliminate dictatorial ambi-| tions, there are no issues involved in Europe's present chaos which could not be settled more effectively by negotiation than they will ever be settled by war. By calm consideration and detailed planning while there is yet time, America could avoid some of the blunders of 1917 and 1918. We could make clear in advance certain issues on which we very definitely would not become involved. We could make it known that we will help no nation perpetuate the mistakes of the Versailles Treaty, and that we will hold aloof from any minor squabbles over boundary lines of nations about whose geography and history we know little or nothing and care less.

to insure its crackup under the strain of war. Nazis, Communists, Fascists. In America they are all of one stripe. By any American unit of measurement there is little to choose between them. On the contrary, there is very good reason to be suspicious of any group that is anti-Com-munist but not anti-Fascist. Equally suspect is any group that is antiFascist but not anti-Communist. Both are pretty certain to be antiAmerican. The same goes for the breed of propagandist writers who are horrified by the menace of Fascism but can see no danger in Communism, or of their brother rats who are terrified by the menace of Communism but can see no inherent threat to America in either Fascism or Naziism.

LIBERALISM BANISHED

It is important never to lose sight of the fact that all three totalitarian states have this one thing in common. Before any one of them could set up shop in America, our

democracy would have to be completely destroyed. After that had happened, what particular brand of dictatorship were set up would be They are all loathsome to anyone who still believes in personal freedom and political liberty. Their difference is only of degree. For years the Communists, operating in the United States, have peddled their political nostrums under a counterfeit liberal label. When it became obvious that the Russian Revolution had only substituted Bolshevik tyranny for Tsarist tyranny, the Red alibi was that liberalism would come later. But what is the fact? The fact is that today, after more

leralism in all Russia. And Italy, after 17 years of Fascism, tells the [same story. The only difference is

{that the Fascists frankly state their contempt for liberalism. Communism and Fascism alike represent stark reactionaryism. Each has turned the clock back a hundred years in the field which it (dominates. And yet, should Amer|ica become involved in war, both of these forces, taking advantage of {the political freedom which they {pretend to despise, can be counted on to attempt the sabotage of the American political system. And that is another fact in the consideration of which Uncle Sam does not want to be too big a sap. In the face of such a possibility of sabotage, American leadership, business and poiltical, might do well to take another look at its hand. It will be found that with all their reactionary attributes, the dictatorships are not without their talking points. For one thing, all three of the dictatorships have been very effectively sold to their people. Tremendous fires of patriotism keep hot the newly created national spirit. Emotions are regimented. They are never allowed to run wild. And emotions under control can become a terrific force. ‘ Most important of all, the dictatorships have taken cognizance of the world-wide urge for a more equitable distribution of created wealth. Reactionary as they are in many things, the totalitarians have gone further than many of the democracies in at least the form of some social legislation, especially in the matter of pensions and old-age security. For democracy to ignore or deny this would be sheer stupidity. The tangible results to date are, it’s true. miserably small, but this is because of the poverty of the dictatorships. It is because they have provided no adequate substitute to take the place of the stimulus of the profit system which they have

destroyed or emasculated. But the formula is there. With Russia, Italy and Germany functioning in an era of world sanity and commercial prosperity, with some restoration of the profit motive—which is inevitable — the formula might produce results of a surprising nature. Even as it is, the challenge is there. To President Roosevelt and the farmers of the New Deal must go the credit for being the first to ize the necessity of meeting that challenge. Opinions may differ widely as to the wisdom of the New Dea! technique or of the methods employed to insure its program. But on one point there can be no argument. Whatever party is in power from this time forward, that party must meet, as well or better than the New Deal has, this challenge of the dictatorships in the matter of social legislation, There can be no turning back. There must be no holding, longer than necessary to consolidate the gains already achieved and to give business reasonable opportunity, as has not always been done in the past, to make the adjustments necessary to carry on successfully, It was the absence of these pauses for adjustment. necessary to helping business development, that was largely responsible for the wrecked economies that are today millstones about the necks of the dictator states.

UNITE, PREVENT WAR

Of especial interest to the totalitarian countries is the blight of unemployment in America. Great stress is laid on the fact that the dictators have solved the unemployment situation. So great has been the buildup of this idea that a revived American prosperity would be a terrific shock to the totalitarian economists and propagandists. It would also be one of the greatest stabilizers of the military situation in Europe. It would not only strengthen the economies and the potential resistance of England and France but it would rob the dictators of one of their pet contentions, namely, that only a totalitarian economy can successfully meet the problems of this mechanical age. What would happen were America to become involved in a war is well understood. American patriotism, which has been ridiculed and slighted by small-time humorists, would enjoy a rebirth. Business and Government would shelve their disagreements. Capital and labor disputes, as well as inter-labor disputes, would go into the discard. America again, as in 1917, would unite to win a war. Why, then, cannot the same intelligence, the same tolerance, the same spirit of unity, unite now to prevent a war which, conceivably, might destroy not only the democracy of Europe but our own as well.
