This conference was billed as a peace trip that these and other nations might plan for a lasting peace. Dictator nations have had. their eye on the South American Latin countries, more for trade than any plan o invade the country for conquet. Manufacturers in this country have in years past enjoyed a liberal trade in South America. Now we hear th a t England, Germany, Italy and Mexico, have edged American made goods, out of that market, Germany has’taken the largest part of it trading* finished goods for raw materials oh an equal ex­ change, not considering the monetary standard of the nations. This method places the .United States a t a disadvantage. I t means less business and of course less labor. The trade treaties with the southern neighbors are based on our standard, and • other countries are under-selling us. Even fa r off Japan crosses the Pacific to get a share of the southern trade. Business in this country is very nervous over the situation. What position we should take in the future no one knows. Should the Nazi or Facism elements invade the southern nations to force continuance of this trade, Arnerica has a new problem—that could easily compel us to resort to drastic means, or forsake all of the elements of the Monroe Doctrine. IF RAILROAD CREDIT WERE RESTORED If the problems of the nation’s railroads are to be solved, the entire plan of regulation will have to be revised. It can never be solved under the present scheme of granting huge direct and. indirect subsidies to the lines’ principal competitors, That is the opinion of Fred W. Sargent, President of the Chicago and North Western Railway, as expressed in a recent alk. , ' “Try to visualize what a change would come over America if the credit of the railroads were restored in full vigor tomor­ row,”' Mr. Sargent continued. “It would mean in large measure the difference -between prosperity and depression. It would mean jobs for additional hundreds of thousands of men and women. “From the studies I have caused to be made, I am satis­ fied that the railroads could use to good advantage, even uhdgr present conditions, several hundred thousand more employes than are now on their payrolls. If their credit were restorec so they could go forward with their purchases, it Would mean, also, the .restoration of job for many thousands in the factories and supply houses that furnish the materials to the rail­ roads . . . “If the credit of the railroads could be restored tomorrow , it would mean the starting of factories now closed, the blowing*- in of new furnaces in the steel mills, and thg^restoration of the security for old age for thousands of men and women who put their savings into railroad stocks and bonds to provide a source of income for their declining years. ■> The issue is now squarely in the laip of Congress. Only Congress can break .the logjam, of accumulated restrictions, regulations and laws which have finally brought the Ameri­ can railroad industry to its knees. All it now asks is an equal chance for its life, the same as any other business. Don’t keep this industrial giant tied hand and foot and expect it is survive. Loosen its bonds so it can go to work for the benefit of the whole nation. Dispatches Wednesday credited Gov. Bricker with the statement that he was not satisfied with the reduc­ tion of the number on Ohio’s payroll, now more than 2,000. When you con?, sider that the Davey administration placed 8,000 Democrats on th eV a te payroll from the primary until the regular election, the Gov, may be right in hia views. Why not aboljsh the Civil Service laws altogether. Tliey are worth little protection to the fellow in office if some one wants him fired. The Gov, did one good thing when he ordered every official on straight salary to put In the legal time requirements, five and one-half days each week. Under Davey it is estimated th a t not one in a hundred salaried employees during his four year term ever put in to exceed an average of even five days a week, j^ores of times employees were off from one to as many qs three days, around a holjdpyt .itk.5 v ':ci • Democratic relief mul- quavtera and party headquarters were almost the one and same place. What the people of Ohio want is a chance to go back towork. A labor union census says there are now 13 million unemployed in the nation even in the face of the New Deal, This is 3,000,- 000 more than were unemployed when Roosevelt took office. One .more social security law and there will be more men and, women out of employment next year than today, and everything purchased will cost the consumer more. FISCAL SANITY BEGINS TO LOOM l■ * - There seems to be a growing sentiment among, congress­ men in favor o f 'a return to fiscal sanity on the part of the federal government. It is hoped that this may mean the end of unbalanced budgets, and; the establishment of a definite program for retiring our mountainous public debt. If the next Congress follows the .example of the last'few, and throws all caution to the winds in voting appropriations, it will find that the recovery.movement now under way will , be shortlived. But if it shows regard for the realities of gov­ ernment finance, it will do as much as nything could to keep the movement going and gaining. Two bills have been introduced in the Ohio legislature to have a limited season on quail and authority for the propagation of ^his species of game bird. For many years the quail has been on the ‘‘song bird” list. With sportsmen on one side and farmers on the other the arguments will soon thicken. Earl Browder, head of the Communist party in this coun­ try, who is delivering talks in numerous places in the state, and in Yellow Springs last Monday before Antioch College, urges a, peace program. He also says his party will back the New Deal until there are enough Communists to get a place on the ballot for their own ticket. It is proposed to submit a constitutional amendnient to the voters to drop the-present two branches of the legislature and have but one, The cities want the state districted to pool the rural vote and give the majority seats to city members. Jackie Cooper Starring Picture 4t . y T n ' ^ Not so long ago an examiner that covers municipalities in Ohio stated to the writer, mentioning the town, was so deep in debt over WPA spend­ ing it would take 100 years to pay out at the present rate, Then we pick up our paper and read that Dayton will close four or five grade schools and the old famous “Steele High School.” Shortage of funds makes the change necessary says the super­ intendent. Dayton tax payers are no longer fooled by figures or claims. Of late they just vote down all proposed tax levies* regardless of whether there is any school or not. It is not that the city does not want schools but con­ ditions evidently have’ driven tax­ payers to adopt, the CIO "sit-down” tax strike. Dayton one time boasted about being 100 per cent New Deal. To make work for -prosperity the city even dug up good cement and big flagstone walks to get WPA money. The city’s share Was then assessed on the property holder. That made a lot of votes-—against the New Deal last. November, when every Democrat in the county was defeated. Congress will hear- impeachment proceedings' against, Frances Perkins fassumed name), Communist Secre­ tary of Labor under Dictator Roose­ velt, Russian sympathizer under a resolution offered by Cong Thomas, R.t New Jersey. Charges are. made that the female cabinet member is protecting Harry Bridges, foreigner, unnaturalized CIO labor ' leader, and has refused to deport him to his native country. Of course the rubber stamp members will not support the Thomas resolution on any kind of evidence, yet it will give the public an insight as to who and what is back of the New Deal. It was encourag­ ing to note that Sen. Donahey refused to vote on the confirmation of .Hor­ rible Harry Hopkins, ns Secretary of Commerce. There was quite! a list of Democrats who refused to cast a vote for or against the appointment. If anyone but a Communist can pic­ ture pleasant relationship between American business and Hopkins, he should be pointed out to the nation. A well known Greene county Dem­ ocrat, tells us that things will have to change by 1940 or he will do then as he did last November when he voted the straight Republican ticket for the first time in his life. He ad­ mitted he had at times voted for Re­ publican county nominees but not state or congressional candidates. When we asked him what he thought of the Roosevelt foreign policy and the New Deal trade treaties the only answer with a shake of the head was; "That fellow wants war equipment to be chief of police of the world,” and "I hope that sons of his backers are drafted first.” !'l v n C"7 r" Newsboys learn to defend themselves against lawless city hoodlums In the dynamic picture, "Newsboys Home,” starring Jackie Cooper, which Is scheduled for a three day engagement on the double-feature program, at the Majestic theater in Spring- field, beginning Sunday, January 29. "Newsboys* Home” shows the ragged news vendors battling oppressive gangsters In spectacular scenes in which trucks are wrecked, newsboys slugged and beaten and newsstands smashed and burned, Wendy Barrie and Edmund Lowe have the romantic loads. "Titans of the Deep,” with Dr, William Bcohe iri hair- raising adventures into-the great unknown ocean depths is the other feature scheduled to appear on the same program with ^Newsboys’ Homo.” A local citizen Knowing something about the Unemployment pension called oh the New Deal representa­ tives in Xenia. After canvassing his record the local laborer was inform­ ed there was nothing they could do for him. This is but typical of all Greene county labor. Business in the county is helping, pay the bill but or­ ganized labor in the big cities will draw the pension. That's a fair sample of how Roosevelt has taken care of "the little fellow,” Greene county has so far about 120 persons that can qualify and 10,000 that can­ not meet the requirements. When the New Deal puts all farm labor on par with city unionized labor, and farmers compelled to pay their share of the tax, as manufacturers and business men do now, the farm labor can draw pensions for not to exceed twenty weeks at any one time. One of our good farmer friends suggests that we should make an effort to ge t a list of all Cedarville Twp. farmers that draw AAA" bene­ fits with the acerage of each farm and the acerage on 'which payments are made'. His reason is that each farmer in his own neighborhood would then know Just how the benefit have been figured. It would also set at rest the hundreds of rumors that are afloat that this and that farmer has a pull or has been benefited. For the benefit of all this column asked last week, as requested by another farmer, as to what became of the ‘‘cushion acerage” In the county? o-iiio Ne ivspaper Vveek Statewide Event The annual, convent ion of the Ohio Newspaper Association is being held Thursday and Friday this week in Columbus, with meetings of other newspaper groups. In connection with the convention is the annual Os­ man C. Hooper newspaper show, the winners to receive trophies. Among the speakers will be Elisha Hanson, Washington, D. C., attorney for ANPA, W. Breckenridge, W. J. Cameron, of the Ford Motor Co., We might give a little tip to farm­ ers "that are not on the inside that an effort was made to get the com base of 35 bushels per acre for the county raised some weeks ago. Of course the 35 bushel per acre is an injustice to the county and should have no bearing on computing the corn output that goes directly to the grain market. The fixed figure does an injustice to every farm that a- mounts -to anything.. There are sec­ tions where 10 bushel would be exces­ sive but 35 bushel is manifestly un­ fair to the hundreds of good farms in the county. What chance would you hnve of selling your farm if you ad­ vertised it as a “ 35 bushel per acre farm?” After a controversy among the authorities of the AAA an appeal ..van'taken to Columbus. The' New Deal politicians. in the county AAA beat the objectors to Columbus by a lay to “fix things” and the objectors had a trip for nothing. We hope to live long enough to write the inside history. of the AAA and one more pi evidential election wifi be just about he limit of the wait. • Washington.. D, C.. dispatches this reck state that Jesse W. Tapp, per* onal friend and confident of Roose- *elt in the Agriculture Department tinier Henry Wallace, has resigned. allowing friction between the two >ver farm policies, Tapp is said to be one of the nation’s leading agri- -ultural economists, but he views the Valinas hair-brained ideas as -tructive to farm interests. It was reported weeks ago that Roosevelt, after hearing a Tapp complaint, put Wallace on the spot to make his ideas jttick so that they could get some place. Now Washington hears that Wallace mKy be hearing the end of his .term. Vice President Garner, open opponent, of Sec. Wallace, keeps on his ■ heels each day of the week. We imagine wc can see Greene county New Dealers walking right up at the recruiting station, for Roosevelt’s next war, and ‘ Raying; ’‘Mere’s my son, you can have him.” It might be well for Greene eountians to spend a few hours at the largest air base in the world, below Pensa­ cola, Fla,, before they offer their sons to help spread the smoke-screen by threat of war. We spent a half day at that base a year ago and then did not see all' of it. We asked several what the mortality rate among young aviationists at the base was but no one knew or would even guess. One did say: “Somebody here knows but they will never toll you.” i whose broadcasts arc nation wide, Gov. John VV. Pricker and W. H.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor. I have been observing the trend of things in our village for some time. Knowing that Cedarville has been noted as an ideal place in which to live and a safe place for students, as- i was a Christiah village. But it seems a,short time ago 'it became loo ideal for some of our citizens. So a call -to arm, thinking it be much belter to have legalized beer. Our good citizens fell .asleep think­ ing it could never be. As our good village had been dry,, so called for years. What happened ? Now wc liuve an attractive rest room, where every effort has been put forth to lure our young and old, and where so-called ladies can rest and have beer and what not. What have the so-called Christians and church goers done to attract our young people into a decent place, where the boys and girls between the ages of 12 to 17 could go and spend a few hours, between 7 and 10 in a clean happy way? One good lady was approached on the subject and said, “Oh, they would just destroy the room,” Would it be more valu­ able than helping to start a boy or girl on the light way? How long oh Lord, how long, will Wfe>sleep ? AN OBSERVER. IIVBRED SEED CORN Iowa No. 939 hybred seed corn has shown satisfactory, performance in this vicinity for the .past four years.
