THIS M probably th biggest que-
tlon Ilnt th eounlrle
era opposed to oommunlim:
Bhll or hail w not Uk
Oennany Into the lodge?"
IITS fotftt wr hatrrdi, lor
the moment, and take a took al
the altuatlnn tram the standpoint
of eoonomlca.
Oerniany, for mora than half a
century, wa the workshop ot
Europe, From her neifhbort the
bought food and raw materials.
With the food the fed her Industrial
workers and out of the raw ma
terlala alia fashioned THINOB Uiat
the eold bark to her neighbors.
Thua In Europe a healthy com
merce wa oreatcd. Commerce,
plreao remember, le a two-way
treel. It Involvea both buying and
aelllnf.
e e
18 that bad?
Well, look al It thl way: In the
ale of Michigan, the bulk of Amer
l a s automobiles are made. Every
body wanU an automobile. Youd
think that would result In draln
ln all of our money Into Michigan.
11 DOU1NT.
The raw material of which auto
mobllea are made come from ail
over the country. To pay for thrm.
Michigan erruls money all over Uir
country. With the wages thry in
for building automobiles. Michigan's
workers buy meal and potatoes
from the Klamath country, f nil's
and vegetables from Die H"gue and
Umpqua valleys, and so on.
Out of this two-way-street com
merce come a healthy American
economy.
e e
1 ACKINQ such a healthy economy,
Europe now I busted and soured.
It will stay busied and soured until
the old healthy two-wy.eirei
commerce Is re-established. As long
as Europe stays busted and aoured.
WE IX HAVE TO FEED ITS
PEOPLE.
Personally. I think we'd belter
get Europe a economy back on it
feet again. If that Involvea giving
the Industrious German th green
light, wed better give them th
green light.
Besides, there la good reason to
believe that If worse coma to
worst th Oer man will fight the
Russian Instead of fighting us.
JJKRE 1 an interesting lanl on
British politic. It come from a
Conservative member of tha house
of common of the British parlia

B. C. He aey:
"The Conservative party win win

THE AMERICANS KEEP THEIR

they won't do business with
aoclallst government In Britain, the
Conservauvaa will LOME. Buch
Amertcaa prasauro would anger so
many Britons that tha Labor gov
ernment would probably be wpl
back into power."
T IT put It thl wy:
If. In 14$, Labor-Socialist gov
erned Britain had said to us: "If
you elect a Republican this fall
we II OO COMMUNIST." we d have
elected Dewey It It busted heme
atrlng. At least. I think that' what would
have happened.
e e
ITERE'S aomethtng else I think:
In 1941, the American people
WANTED to elect a Republican
President and a Republican con
gress. If ever nation needed bus
iness management. It la thle one,
and most people feel Instinctively
that the Republican are better
buil nee manager than th Demo

fear that If th Republican get Into
power and w hv a depression
and a lot of ua get hungry THE
REPUBLICANS WILL. LET UB
