Thanksgiving O f course, we are thankful that we are not facing destruction beneath the crunching wheels of war in Europe and are thankful that we live in the greatest democracy o f all time. We are thankful for freedom of speech, freedom of public assembly and freedom of re ligion, but we should go beyond those rights. Americans feel that those are natural rights and not rights given to them by governments or oth er men. Despite that fact those rights are often breached by mad men bent on bringing other persons under their control. Democratis peo ples will probably always have to fight for tnose rights, but they should be thankful for the strength that enables them to carry through their trials. Our Pilgrim fathers were truly thankful for their blessings, although they had, according to our present standards, very little o f the mater ial blessings of life. W e 20th century Americans should appreci ate the great strides made in the fields of science and medicine, which have made life more liv able in this complex civilization. Physical sci ence has either developed too rapicMy or social science has lagged too far behind, but in any event we should be thankful for what advance ment has been made in the field o f social sci ence. We should be thankful that men and wo men are taking more interest in their fellow be ings and are helping to provide for the welfare of the underprivdeged, although such assistance does have the appearance at times of impersonal charity. W e should be happy that county and state governments have eliminated the poor houses and at least have made some effort to relieve the terribleness of poverty among our elderly folk. In singing one of our modem songs we call upon God to bless America, which is all right, but we should realize that God will not do for man that which man can do for himself. W e should appreciate the fact that we have a God to call on for help when we are doing our utmost. In all the strife and misery in this chaotic world we should be thankful that we have much to be thankful for. The Hoover Articles Idaho Free Press A series of articles by Herbert Hoover which has Just been concluded in the Saturday Evening Post will no doubt be read closely by future historians, but his negative conclusion offers no thing encouraging to present day Americans. Mr. Hoover accompanied President Wilson to the Paris peace conference o f 1919 and apparently had the president’s ear, judging by the numerous memos of his own to Mr. Wilson and the latter's occasional responses which he quotes at length In an apparent e f fort to clear himself of any blame for the dismal aftermath.

The “Capulín" will carry a cargo of 5,200 tons, valued at $1,500,000. The British government has granted a navicert for this ship which will sail under the Red Cress flag, Mr. Davis said. The cargo will consist entirely of milk, canned and pow dered; Infants' layettes, digitaline, cines such as insuin, digitaline, menthol, thyroid extracts, etc. Con trary to other reports there will be no other clothing than the infants’ layettes and no vitamins other than the milk in the cargo, Mr. Davis said. The “ Capulín" will be loaded at the U. S. Lines docks in Baltimore and will sail as soon as the state department has concluded safe con duct arrangements with the G er man and Italian governments. The ship's cargo will be distribut ed under the supervision of an American Red Cross staff in Franc* through the channels which were previously set up to distribute milk and other items sent to unoccupied France.

Temple write on the subject now. furnish Interesting back stage peeps and show why Mr. Wilson was unable to get the kind of a treaty he wanted. So many mistakes were made, according to the Hoover view, that one would expect the whole structure, league, peace treaty, reparations and all, to have crumbled within a month after the statesmen went home. Instead It lasted 15 years and came within an eyelash of succeeding, because the more obvious mistakes were later corrected, though not as promptly as they should have been. Mr. Hoover shows that Mr. Wilson and himself struggled vig orously for a better deal for the defeated countries and were thwarted because Clemenceau was a thoroughgoing old dealer who thought In terms of revenge and Lloyd George a shifty politician without long term perspective. "O f all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: It might have been." However, Mr. Hoover acquits everybody of responsibility for failure to set up an enduring peace. It was impossible, he declares at the end. America and Europe had grown too far apart, they did not and do not speak the same language. There Is no genuine response to American Ideals over there,etc. Here we think Mr. Hoover evidences the same negative qual ities that ruined his administration as president. He was an ad mirable administrator under other men, food administrator and secretary o f commerce, but a failure when he had to formulate policies of his own to deal with new and fast changing conditions. Because he and Mr. Wilson, than whom one imagines he sup poses no greater men will ever appear upon the International scene, could not bring order out of chaos, It Just can’t be done and no one will ever do It. So it’s folly to try. We shall see one great war after another because America and Europe have grown apart In spirit, though much nearer In physical distance due to transportation changes. The world must not accept such a hopeless view. Mr. Hoover is an olcLman thinking in terms of the defeat and frustration of the past. He won’t lead us to anything because he isn’t going any where. He only knows what can’t be done. Meanwhile new lead ers who don't know It can’t be done must be found to do it for it Is simply unthinkable that anything as necessary to the future welfare of mankind as an enduring peace setup should be thwarted merely because the great men of a generation ago found It beyond their capacity to achieve. I f mankind has the ability to learn from experience, and If it didn’t there would be no progress of any kind, It should be able to erect a new peace structure free from the now obvious mistakes that finally wrecked the other one.
