NO APPEASEMENT HERE
“ Appeasement” has become a shameful wort! during the
last year or two—and justly so. Today almost all of Europe is a
tragic monument to the futility of attempting to appease the
dictator powers. The appeasers may have been sincere, but they
were terribly wrong. Dictators’ ambitions know no limits. And
each fresh attempt at appeasing the ilietators simply gave them
more confidence, and led to at ill greater demands.
In this country, the majority of the people are opposed to
any efforts to appease those who may threaten the destruction
of our way of lift*— which is the democratic way of life, with
free men working under a free system. But there is a minority
whose thoughts turn to the possibility of appeasement. “ All over
the world,” their argument runs, “ liberty has been abrogated,
and government has been made supreme. Civil rights have been
dmsipated like leaves in a storm. It is logical to expect that wei
shall see a similar trend take root at home. So we might as well
make the best of it. After all, even total governments must have
the services of men with brains— thert' w ill always be jobs. So
le t’s see if we can get on more friendly terms with our potential
enemies.”
A child can see what that argument must lead to. once ac­
cepted by the people. It would lead to a dictatorship as brutal
and as thorough as any in Europe. For democracy is one thing
that can’t go half-way. Weaken it, and you are helping dig its
grave. No nation, said Lincoln, can exist half slave and half free.
And no nation can hop«' to strike a balance between represen­
tative government and total government. It must choose between
one or the other, with no “ ifs and, or buts” involved.
A system worth having Is a system worth fighting for. The
United States prays for peace— but the United Stab's was never
a country to give an inch to its poosible enemies. If the appeas­
ers should have their way. we will go the way France went—
and all that America has stood for in the past will become mean­
ingless. L et’s make up our minds that this is one corner of the
world where democracy, social and economic, will be defended
to the last ditch.

ARE WE SICK?
William R. Kuhns, editor of Banking, recently stepped hard
on the defeatist doctrine which holds that democracies can’t
match the efficiency of the totalitarian states, and can’t survive
in a world which has largely been socialized, »ovietized. or nazi-
fied.
‘ Where did this idea come from and why should it have such
popular acceptance and distinguished sponsorship among writ­
ers and public leaders?” asks Mr. Kuhns. “ Can it be that w e’re!
not feeling well? Are we going to be sick?
“ Totalitarian layouts, particularly if tle y an- either ruth-'
less or desperate, enjoy an advantage in war and foreign trade
arrangements. But after all there is nothing to stop us from
meeting economic and military competition. . . . without chang­
ing our creed or our habits.”
Unless the lessons of history are all wrong, a system of free
enterprise, other factors being equal, is always more than a
match for a system based on slave enterprise—and “ slave enter­
prise” is about as accurate a d«*scriptive term as can be devised
for totalitarian methods. There isn’t a nation in the world with
a tithe of the potential economic power of the United States. We,
have a banking structure adapted to both national and interna­
tional commerce which is the envy of the earth. We have an eco­
nomic system based on gold— not a system based on the frail
sands of barter and financial blackmail.
Potentially we have unequaled military power no less than
economic pow-er. The defeatists in our midst would do well to
study the history of what this country has achieved in consid­
erably less than two centuries.

Tall as a mast in morning light
Stands our old pine against the
sky,
A sentinel upon the height
To watch the wheeling «jays go by.
He sees the city far below
Wake to its toil with smoke and
steam,
And miles of meadows in the glow
Of Indian summer, touched with
dream
He sees the silver moon appear
Above the river’s curving line,
And when the chill of dusk draws
near,
The hominng lights flash out and
shine.
Unwearing through snow and ipin,
He signals courage from the steep,
And when night settles on the
plain
He has his starry watch to keep.
And when the winter storms arise,
And the gay leaves are fled In
fear,
In a great grieving voice he cries
Kis reassurance, "I am here!”

CONVENTION BUSINESS
Most cities consider national conventions a profitable in­
vestment. Last year American Legionnaires spent $15,000.000 at
Chicago, and Boston expects just as big a gross this year. Four
hundred thousand visitors, more than half of whom will be
Legionnaires and their wives and families, w ill add one-half to
the city ’s population for at least three days. Their 3,600,000
meals will cost at least $2,700,000. Three hundred thousand of
them, staying in Boston an average of two nights each, will run
up a hotel bill of $1,500.000 or more. And th ey’re expected to
spend $10,000,000 on entertainment and “ miscellaneous. ”
Legionnaires do everything in a big way. They will have from
300 to 400 bands and drum corps in their parade. They have
hired huge Braves field, seating 40,000, for the outdoor night
club spectacle, “ Cavalcade of Stars,” staged by Schenley Post
1190. Another 40.000 will constitute the biggest audience ever to
hear the famed Boston symphony orchestra.

First Rain Im pure
Rain gathers microbes from the
dust-filled air. After the first few
hours of rainstorm, the descending
drops are much more pure than
those that fell at the beginning.
H ail and snow bring down an even
greater percentage of microbes than
does rain.
