Hoosier Vagabond
DANA, Ind. Sept. 30.—The oddest things do happen to a body in this world. Yesterday I was in Buffalo; I'm positive I was. But when I woke this morning and looked around, here I was back on the farm where I started from a quarter of a century ago. : It all spemed a little peculiar to me, so I spoke to my secretary about it. Since don’t have a secretary she spoke to my| financial manager. And since there are no finances, he leaned pack in
lows: 3 “Don’t you remember? You flew from Buffalo to Indianapolis yesterday. You know—airnplanes. Up in the sky. Like this—flap, flap. And then you drove gn over here in your car. You know— chug, chug, trrrrrrrrr.” And then I did remember. Sure. enough o'clock we were in Buffalo, and at 11 in Detroit, and at 1 in Chicago, and at 2 in Indianapolis, and at 4 in Dana, Ind. How time does fly, and what do you suppose science will think of next? | Just after we took off from Buffalo on American Airlines, we flew right over Niagara Falls. The pilot banked slowly around so we could get aj good gander at it. |
Flying Over Canada
It did look mighty pretty, I must admit. But it wasn’t nearly as big or as impressive as Iguassu ‘alls in South America, which we flew over once on Pan-American Airways. : ; Between Buffalo and Detroit, we were flying over nada all the way. The direct line between [those two cities runs north of Lake Erie, you know, and north of Lake Erie is Canada. The fields down below were so green and pretty. You never could have told you were not flying above the U. S. A. And yet, 4s we sat up in the sky, I realized we were actually flying above a country at war, a [pelligerent. ; .

And I thought, now wouldn’t.it be interesting if a sneak German bomber should come diving out of the clouds and shoot us full of holes? Both interesting and fatal, I presume. Such mental dog fights as that exhilarate and charm me—when I know the nearest German bomber is some 4000 miles away. The flight was pretty dull between Detroit and Chicago. We cut across the south end of Lake Michigan. And we looked down upon the famous Indiana sand dunes along the shore. Between Chicago and Indianapolis the sun was bright in the west window, so I unhooked the little curtains and pulled them clear across to shut out the glare, and it wasn’t two minutes until I was asleep. Apparently I slept like a baby for nearly ‘an hour. Because I woke with a jump, looked out the window, and we were just crossing the airport boundary, not 50 feet up. It almost scared the daylights out of me.
Revealing a Secret
And then, to further shatter my child-like nervous system. the pilot made one of those wobbly landings that even the best pilots make now and then. We hit too hard and bounced ‘10 feet in the air, and my heart remained stopped for the ensuing hour. and a half that it téok to get the plane back on the ground. An hour later, when we got into the city, I was still su weak I couldn't remember my name or what garage my car was in. But I still love to fly. There’s something I've been intending to mention each time I've flown anywhere lately, and I've always forgotten it. But now I remember. It is that the Pilots’ compartment on all airliners these days is kept locked. The hostess herself has to use a key to get up there. | Ostensibly it is to keep such things as foreign agents, drunks, nuts and saboteurs from going up and bothering the pilots. But the real reason, if it were only known, is that it’s to keep me from going up there and showing the passengers that I could fly the plane so much better than the pilots. I'm such a great aviator, among many other things. ;

Washington
" WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—This Administration is taking a hard-headed, realistic attitude rather than an emotional one toward the final emergence of Japan as an official instead of a sub-rosa partner of the Axis. | ! . The realistic attitude does not look forward to naval warfare at least in the near future. It looks more toward a gradual stepping up in the use of economic. weapons by both sides. Immediately, the effect may be more noticeable on the British. Hitherto England has sought to appease Japan, to make concessions that might keep her neutral. Now Japan has made her leaning toward the Axis |an open and official matter. Hence the British if have no further purpose in appeasing Japan. Raw materials, such as tungsten and mica and more important materials in the British Asiatic possessions, have been allowed to pass to Japan. Probably these will be shut down on, not perhaps by open embargoes but by the simple move of appropriating more of them for British defense use. ‘ The United States is likely to move in a parallel direction, gradually tightening economic, pressure. Thus the situation seems to be heading into a kind of struggle in which sanctions, or quasi sanctions, more or less disguised, will be the chief weapons on both sides.
Naval Showdown Unlikely |
There is every indication that neither Japan nor the United States is itching for naval warfare. Each fting a naval showdown. Japan has the same desire Hitler has always had of trying to elbow along, getting away with as much as possible, paying the price of war only when no other way can be found. We could force Japan into a war but Japan can build her strength in the Pacific more effectively without war than with it, because the pcwer of resistance is still enormous in the British and Dutch colonies, and war would be costly for the Japanese, whether ‘we went in or not. | On our side is the danger that i will thus

grow stronger without war and in time we may be faced with much greater difficulty in dislodging her. Yet it is no secret among the Japanese, any more than it is among us, that it would be extremely difficult for us to conduct a naval war in the Far East now. . Actually our people here in Washington see England as still the crux of the world situation. If the British stand, then everything else will hold. If British seapower is broken, then it will be tough going for the opponents of the Axis powers everywhere. ’ : : Therefore, the disposition here is not to be diverted by the Japanese acrobatics in the Far East. The disposition is to use economic weapons there and keep them bolstered by strong naval force, but meanwhile to pump more and more aid to Britain. Britain is
still our outer line of defense and the citadel is the Ww
British fleet. '
Admission of Weakness
Again it is the view here that.the Japanesc-Axis deal is an admission of weakness rather than of strength. Hitler found it necessary to offset his failure to conquer England with a spectacular move that would take the attention ot Germans off his failure and at the same time possibly diver: the United States, whose aid to Britain is indispensable to British survival. Hitler found it necessary to call for help, and the Japanese were carted in as fresh recruits for the Axis team. The move doubtless was also intended as a harassing stroke at Britain, explained above the effect will be to cause the British to tighten the economic bonds around Japan. : That it is a dangerous situation no one will deny Everything is tied into one great world-wide complex. You cannot think of the situation solely in terms of American investments in the Far East, which are relatively small, nor solely in terms of rubber and tin which are important to us. " We have to think of the whole situation, of what it would mean to live in a world the rest of which was completely controlled by these three ruthless powers. It is a question of fighting off threatened strangulation. For the moment we can exert our effort through aid to Britain better than in any othér way—so far as external activities are concerned.

The House of Sheltered Workshops at the World's Fair, whicn was furnished completely by 18 shops employing handicapped persons in New York and other Eastern cities, actually had some of these people in that house performing the tasks which they had performed as contributions to the furnishing of the house. : Sheltered workshop employees are paid standard piece-work rates and their commodities sell on the open market, so they are not subsidized labor. They operate under the provisions of the Wages and Hours Act, and the only philanthropic aspect of the workshop is comprised in the social and medical services needed to assist these handicapped workers back on the road to self-support. This work was begun in the days of the World War, when wounded veterans had to have some place to retrain for new skills. Few people then foresaw that it would grow until, today, the gross turnover in the sheltered workshops amounts to three million_dollars a year.

Every political leader has a different name for this “enthusiasm factor” or “intensity factor,” but he knows that it may often make the difference between a voter who goes to the polls on election
day and one who does not. | Even if Mr. Willkie’'s current whirlwind campaign should fail to bring him abreast of President Roosevelt; the survey shows the Republican candidate with gn edge on Mr. Roosevelt in the following three departments:
1. In positive enthusias; for the candidate among his own supporters, as measured on an “intensity scale” or “politica thermometer.” | 2. In the determination (of the candidate’s supporters to go to the polls on election day. | '.3. In the strong objections which Willkie supporters’ reveal toward a Roosevelt victory, in contrast with the milder attitude of Roosevelt backers toward a [Fie victory. |

SECOND SECTION
* How Much Will ‘Enthusiasm’ Factor Help Willkie? F.D.R.?
N the current Institute survey voters favoring President Roosevelt were asked, in 35 states outside the South, to mark the degree of their enthusiasm for him on a graded “intensity scale.” Voters favoring Wendell Willkie were given a similar scale. Among Willkie supporters, 77 per cent indicated nothing could change their present opinions about the two candidates. They would be for Willkie all the way through, they said. Twenty-three per cent said they favored him at present but might change their minds. Among President Roosevelt's supporters, on the other hand, 73 per cent said nothing could change their minds,.while 27 per cent said
they were for Roosevelt but might switch between now and election. The following tables show the division by percentages: Not Positive Positive About About : Vote Vote Roosevelt Supporters Willkie Supporters

Mr. Willkie’s advantage in this connection—slight as it seems—is particularly important ' because Willkie probably could win by cutting President Roosevelt's present popular majority (55 per cent), down to 52 per cent. A great part of President Roosevelt's popular majority, of course, is traceable to top-heavy majorities in the “Solid South,” and political history shows
that unless the Democratic candidate receives more than 52 per

ARISTOCRACY IN
Coast Reserve Diary Declares Tactics Geared to Foot Soldiers.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30. (U. P.). —Unless Army officers forget their “artistocracy .. . we will soon find our boys in the inescapable war trying to stop airplanes and armored tanks with rifles, bayonets and machine guns, which will be as effective as attempts to break shat-ter-proof glass with popcorn,” Col. William® H. Neblett's “diary” on recent Army maneuvers said today. Col. Neblett, a reserve officer and one-time law partner of former U. S. Senator William G. McAdoo, was attached to a -headquarters staff during exercises in Washington State. He kept a diary of his observations, the contents of which he released for publication. Specifically, he charged that principles of tactics still were geared to the foot soldier and horse cavalry in an age of mechanization, that “airplanes and tanks are noticeably absent from this plan.”
Charges Aristocracy
Col. Neblett said that “most of the money” spent on the regular Army and “practically all of the thought of its members” was devoted to maintaining the “aristocracy of the officers’ corps, the intent and purpose of which is not compatible with our democratic state.” Maps, he charged in a critique of one maneuver, are the “old inch-foot-yard-mile scale . . . exaggerating the probability of error. All maps should be at once converted to the metric system.” In another exercise, he commented that a lightning blow from a small, mechanized force with air superiority “would defeat any number of troops that we could@muster, equipped and handled as the troops are under the plans and orders for this maneuver.”
Few Left to Fight
Of an Aug. 9 maneuver, he commented. that “with the corps, division, brigade, regimental and battalion staffs, and their special troops, there are few left to fight. We are visited by a number of generals. They walk in, the formalities are observed, and they walked out—after viewing the exercise on paper.” “. . . Our national safety demands that we dispense with every Arnmly officer who directs his command from what he sees through the rear view of profession] tratradition,” he said.

By TAYLOR CALDWELL
AUTHOR OF “DYNASTY OF DEATH”
(Nineteenth of a series of articles by 24 authors)
Recently I heard two young people talking together, with a mingling of despair, cynicism and Wryness. “I'm a Communist,” said one, “because I'm envious of competent, adequate and virile citizens.” “Im a Fascist,” said the other, bitterly, “because I hate people.” And I, 1 thought, am a democrat, because I neither hate nor envy anyone. But, ‘I later considered, is a mere negative state of mind a safe or sensible one in these dreadful days? I do not think so. Something is frightfully wrong with democracies, They are negative. They lack dynamism, power, conviction and strength. They lack courage and honor and drive. If they have a case, it is not apparent in the babel of voices, feeble, quarreling and listless. And where many talk, no one is heard, and a general demoralization and helplessness overcomes the will to struggle, and fulfill, and the very will-to-live and well-to-survive. But inherent in the democracies there is a real case. First of all, democracies must realize that their way of life is comparatively new in the world. The slave democracies of Greece and Rome were no real democracies. But a free people, choosing its own government, setting up its, own courts where everyone is equal before the law, deciding its own issues, is a new phenomenon under the: old sun, The “new” tyrannical and manhating way of life of CommunistFascists is as ancient as life and death. Today, the final battle between the new and the old is taking place, not only on bloody battlefields, but in the hearts and minds of all men. It all comes down to the basic question: “Do we love men or hate them?” Does democracy breed weakness and confusion and disorder? I am afraid so. But it need not. It is all a matter of clarification. Democracies must vitally affirm certain doctrines: honor and courage, truth and justice. They must face the animal “realism” of the enemies with the reply that realism is not human-civilization, that men do not live by the bread of comfort: and profits alone, and that there are noble things worth

. fighting for as ‘well as base. -
And we should prepar: ourselves to fight for them, not with words alone, but with steel. We must rid ourselves of our weaknesses, which are self-indulgence, selfishness, apathy, lack of discipline, fear of adversity and pain, repugnance to war, and luxury and love of
profits. We should say at every hour: I am ready to fight, not with phrases, but with guns; not tomorrow, but today. Jesus said that if a man lacked a sword, he should sell half his garments and buy one. In another section, the Bible declares that a people without a vision must perish. We have neither a vision nor a sword. And so, we must perish if we refuse to formulate the one, and take up the other. We must employ many of the vitalistic principles of the old warring philosophies, while fixing our eyes steadfastly on the new ideal of universal courage and honor, truth and justice. ‘ A sword and a vision. Without these two. democracy must perish from the earth, not only overcome by the enemy, but with the disgust of God.
James Truslow Adams describes democracy as our m precious possession, and tells how we can keep it, in the next article of this series on “Our Country.”

In the second of a series of industrial health bulletins, the: Foundation, supported by business interested in cutting. down ‘illness and injury among workmen, pointed out that colds outnumber other diseases 25-to-1; that monetary losses to the average person total $3,000,000,000 a year; that employers losses are even greater. The Foundation warned that colds may be broadcast by sneezing, coughing, kissing, handshaking, or by using objects handled by an infected person; counseled victims to “cover your cough or sneeze’ to avoid infecting other persons. Proper rest, food, clothing and exercise were listed as means cof preventing colds, and the Foundation warned against neglect of the cold, pointing out that “just a cold” may- mark the beginning of pneumonia, influenza, scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria or other respiratory ills.
CHURCH: PEOPLE. 10 GO VISITING
In the next few days, 10 per cent of the Protestant church people of Indianapolis are to call on the other 90 per cent in their homes. The city-wide visitation, result of months of planning, is the first episode of the Indianapolis Christian Mission and part of a church loyalty and attendance campaign. Visitors will invite their hosts to attend the Christian Mission meetings, Nov. 10 to 17, designed for all citizens whatever their station, and to receive the sacrament on Oct. 6, Worldwide Communion Sunday. They will also tell them about the 31 internationally known speakers of the Mission, including Dr. E. Stanley Jones, missionary to India; Miss Muriel Lester, London, social worker, and Dr. Adolf Keller, theologian of Geneva, Switzerland, and others. The Mission's first week ‘of meetings was started yesterday in Kansas City and then will be held successively in 21 other cities. Dr. Jesse M.
