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 Hoover articles, written In 1934 and 1935, hence free from
the personal and partisan bias that might warp anything he would

Red Cross Ship
Going To France
—4*—
Washington. D. C.. Nov. 20 (Spe
cial) — Chairman Norman H. Da
vis of the American Red Cross an
nounced here the U. S. Lines “ Capu
lín” had been leased from the mari
time commission to ship a cargo of
milk, infants’ layettes and medicines
to unoccupied France.
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. Mercy ships sent by the
Red Cross to France were the M c
Keesport In the spring of 1940, the
Cold Harbor and the Exmouth with
split cargoes between France and
Spain which sailed last spring and
two shiploads of flour carried by
French freighters, the He de Re and

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.
