I « fornia; S Y rk. : M _ ; . . w :f , s San ■' -c New York Ne u tra lity Re vision Congress will go into special ses sion today at the call of President Roosevelt to consider revision of the neutrality act to permit the sale of munitions on a cash and carry basis to belligerents. There is a difference of opinion in con gress over this question and this right was refused in the regular session, resulting in a declaration from the president to the effect that failure to make this possible encouraged Hitler to start action against Poland. Sampling of public opinion for several months throughout the United States has revealed consid erable sentiment for a revision to permit sales under the cash ami carry plan. Presidnt Roosevelt feels that it will help to keep us out of the conflict, while isolationists bit terly contend that it will have the opposite effect. As it stands now the adminis tration is undoubtedly right when it says the embargo as such is es sentially unneutral, in that through it this nation deprives Great Brit ain of the advantage to be gained from its huge fleet and control of the seas. They contend, too. that it is inconsistent to embargo ac tual war implements—guns, am munition. airplanes and the like— and yet freely permit the sale of the raw materials from which the instruments of death can be manu factured. If the materials are to be sold why not the finished product so that business and labor may get the benefit of increased economic ac tivity. At the same time it will help this country in its preparedness program at a point where it is woe fully weak at the present time, that is the organization of indus try so that it may adequately turn out supplies for this nation in case of need. This problem has been such that the war department for the last few years has given out trial orders to industry so that manufacturers can be partially pre pared in case of great national emergency. Please Don't! Dear Automobile Driver: Today my boy, who is just 11. started to school again. He had his hair combed, for a change, and wore his new cords, and while he griped about starting the old grind again, just as I used to, I could tell that he really didn’t mind. He’ll come home tonight with a long tale about his new teacher, how it feels to be “a sixth-grader.” and how he’s going to make the softball team. That is, I hope he will. You see. when he’s home and his mother and I can sort of look after him. keep him off busy streets, we feel rea sonably secure. If he cuts his fin ger or barks his shin, we can fix him up, kid him along, and every thing’s well. But when we send him off to school, as we did today, when he walks across the busy streets be tween our house and school, he’s in your hands. He’s a nice kid. and he can run like a deer, and ride a bike and kick a football, and ask more ques tions than any six kids I know. But I can’t be with him all the time, nor can his mother. I have to work to provide a home for him and buy shoes and pay taxes so he can go to school. You know how it is. So, please help me look out for him when he goes to school. Please drive carefully at intersections, and remember that kids dart out from behind parked cars, and don t al ways obey the traffic patrols at safety lanes. I’ll do as much for your little boy or girl. Please don’t run over my boy. He’s^H I have. • His Father. — From Oregon Journal. The Portland Police BenefiUcrv association has been soliciting local business people by telephone ai d letter in recent days for donations or purchase of tickets for the an nual ball for the benefit of wid<>\ s and orphans of Portland police men. Undoubtedly the objective is laudable, but just why Hillsboro people should be solicited for this is hard to understand. Under the same reasoning Hillsboro could very logically go into Por.land to solicit for its charitable activities Hillsboro and Washington county have their own problems and as a result local residents are called up on for countless contributions right at home. Charity begins at home. Washington county people are justly proud of the honors taken by Future Farmers of America repre sentatives and I-H club members at the state fair at Salem. These boys and girls are on their way to being' useful Am -rican citizens. There is something very whole some about a community sing, and the one at the first fall meeting of the P.-T. A. Monday night just seemed to make everyone feel hap- py. Other Editors Bridges As a Leader The Harry Bridges deportation hear ing is over and the fate of the radical lead er of west coast CIO now depends on Dean Landis of Harvard law school, who has taken horn* 1 nt a tn • - dence gathered at the hearing. It is hard to say whether the government proved its case against Bridges or not. but at least the hearing brought out the nature of the men tal processes of this powerful leader. Thoughtful members of the longshore* men s union, who no doubt followed the proceedings with as much interest if not more than was exhibited by the public in general, have now the problem of consid ering if they want such a man as Bridges has admitted himself to be at the head - f their union. The rank and file of long shoremen are ur.d' ubtedly patriotic Amer - cans, believers in American institut: ns and customs and eager for their preservation. Bridges has indicated that he is m re con cerned in altering American c auditions. He has publicly announced his belief that rad.- cal changes are needed in the American system. Longshoremen, in case Bridges is allowed to stay in the United States, will have before them the problem of deciding whether Bridges can be allowed safely to remain at the head of the longshoremen's union.—Astoria Astorian-Budget.
