Washington, D. C, June 5 Whe
ther the United States can keep out
of the war is a debatable question
in the national capital. In asking
congress for another billion dollars
for national defense President Roose
velt's message contained no assur
ance that this country will not be
involved. He said the possibility
exists that all continents may become
belligerents and that includes the
American continent.
Left to his own devices, the aver
age American wants peace, but at
this time there is being promoted
an intriguing program to influence
public sentiment and land America
side by side with the allies. Agents
carrying on this propaganda plot to
drag the United States into war are
busy as bird dogs in this federal
city. The principal argument to in
spire fear is that Hitler's legions
will attack this country after dis
posing of France and England. It
may turn the trick yet.
Conditions in Washington now are
following the pattern of the events
which led to America's entrance
into the first world war. The United
States is the arsenal of the allies;
a board of civilians has been ap
pointed by the president to furnish
supplies for preparedness (now call
ed national defense); the president
is calling for dollar-a-year men;
congress is asked to take $100,000,
000 of taxpayer money and give it
to refugees in the war-torn coun
tries. Apparently about every step
is being taken except sending Am
erican troops abroad.
being created in Curry county, north
of Brookings. Recommendation for
the park was made to Secretary Ick
es by national park advisory board
and Ickes took the matter up with
the chief executive; a bill was pre
pared and has been introduced by
Senator McNary.
There will be 30,000 acres in the
area and, aside from a few acres on
the coast of Maine, this will be the
first seashore national park in the
country. No opposition is expected
by the county court of Curry coun
ty or other residents of that section
for it will give county and state
perpetual national advertising.,
Latest victims of the war in Eu
rope are the loganberry growers of
the Willamette valley. The Oregon
loganberry control board, which
handles 80 percent of the loganber
ries grown in Oregon, states that
10 percent of the crop is consumed
in the United States and the rest in
England. With the English market
gone, half the crop will go unharv
ested unless aid comes from the

Notice of School Meeting
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to the leeal voters of School District No. 1. of
Morrow County, State of Oregon, that a SCHOOL MEETING of the said district will be
held at Council Chambers on the 17th day of June, 1940, at 2 o'clock p. m., for the
purpose of discussing the budget for the fiscal school year, beginning June 17, 1940,
and ending June 16, 1941, hereinafter set forth, and to vote on the proposition of
levying a district tax.
BUDGET
A calm view of the situation in
the national capital (there are some
who are keeping their heads) is that
there is little likelihood of America
entering the war unless Hitler, when
and if he conqers England, tries to
seize British, French and Dutch is
lands in the Atlantic and invades
Canada. Then, under the Monroe
doctrine, the United States will be
compelled to take a hand and resist
this violation of a century old Amer
ican policy.
Sources close to the White House
say that it is this possibility viola
tion of the Monroe doctrine that has
aroused the president and has in
spired him to ask for billions for
national defense. Recognizing that
seizure of the islands may be a mat
ter of months, Mr. Roosevelt urges
that the defense program be rushed,
for it requires time to manufacture
planes, anti-aircraft guns, provide
the rifles and other equipment. Also
a year is needed to train and harden
troops for a campaign.
Time is the essence. Everything
is being speeded against the day
when Hitler undertakes to possess
the islands, particularly. Aside from
the Monroe doctrine, the United
States cannot permit the islands to
fall into enemy hands as they will
be used for airplane bases against
the Panama canal.
Not unless and until the western
hemisphere is threatened will Roose
velt favor war, and only congress
can make a declaration of war. But
to put our house in order requires
tremendous effort. Disregarding in
crease in the standing army and na
tional guard, increased personnel
for the navy, the great task is the
making of things. Things cannot be
made unless men know how to make
them. Consequently; hundreds of
thousands of young men are to be
trained until they are skilled mech
anics; regiments of men must ac
quire the technique of operating
precision tools; the ground crews
(mechanics) must be educated for
the air program.
