^ A PATRIOTS TRAITOR?
The United States Supreme Court has had an occasion
to rule on the question of military training in schools and col
leges recently. Their decision, upholding the Supreme
Court of California, and therefore,* the University of Calif
ornia in enforcing military training on the students who
choose to attend that institution, indirectly settles numerous
other questions such as state rights, university and faculty
rights, the right of the nation to defend itself in the face of
the Briand-Kellogg peace pact, the duty of all citizens to
defend their state and the nation, and the requirement of
aliens seeking citizenship to do likewise.
The decision confirms the contention of patriotic citi
zens that those who are agitating students to refuse military
training, and advocating that aliens and citizens pledge them
selves to refuse to defent the nation in case of war, are
preaching law-breaking. That some of the churches have
been used as a means to advocate law breaking it not the
only serious aspect.
The fact that they have advocated law breaking of a
kind which may result in the complete destruction of
religion and the church, if the conspirators against republi
can gbvernment and religion succeed in their devolution af
ter disarmament the opposition to it while secretly arming
themselves, is the sad part of it. There may have have been
some of these dis-loyal propagandists who were in doubt as
to the constitutionality of our laws, or perhaps some were
confused by their misleaders as to the meaning of the Briand
Kellogg pact. But now that the highest tribunal of our
land, the United States Supreme Court, by unanimous de
cision has held that the enforcment of compulsory military
training is constitutional, regardless of their religious beliefs;
that every citizen is subject to service in defense of the state
or of the nation; that the Briand-Kellogg peace pact merely
outlaws wars of aggression and not of defense, and that no
alien may become a citizen without accepting the obligations
to defend this nation as is required of every American-born
citizen, the entire question is now settled^1 No citizen or al
ien can any longer hide behind ignorance, in preaching such
disloyal doctrines as have been so treasonably advocated
heretofore in this country. He is from now on either a pat
riot or a traitor—an advocate of lawfulness or lawlessness.—

BUSINESS CO-OPERATES
The decision of American business, as represented in
the United States Chamber of Commerce, to co-operate with
the administration in plans for further recovery is good news.
Also it is good common sense. There probably is noth
ing more than that in this seemingly epochal decision of con
servative business to join hands, with a more or less radical
party in power for the sake of the general welfare Despite
all the talk of a “turn to the right”, we doubt that the adminij.
stration has made any vital concessions in its own program
to purchase the alliance of business. But we doubt also that
business, in offering its aid, has yielded anything either
The announcement means that, while business and Mr.
Roosevelt will continue to disagree on many things, busi
ness has determined not to let that disagreement stand any
longer in the way of the recovery, desired by all. It means
that, insofar as there was any lingering disposition on the
part of business to hold back for the sake of political effect,
that disposition now is renounced for good and all In short,
business has decided that since Mr. Roosevelt is very likely
to be president until 1941, the sensible course is to accept this
probabiltv and make the best of it
There is nothing very epochal in that, except,that the;
controls of our complex economic machine are so exceeding
ly sensitive that a mere change in attitude of mind may;
mean the difference between “confidence” and lack of con
fidence.—New Bern (N C) Tribune
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite
That it is a good idea to express sound sense in plain
words Working means something more than working for
yourself, but also for the general good of your community.
Every city has its share of men who have fought and
won; men who hlfoe risen to high positions not alone in
their own home city, but beyond the confines of that city.
They have done it with a spirit of comradeship. They,
shouldered their full share of work and responsibility when
called upon to do so for their city’s sake, no matter what
sacrifices they had to make.
A city’s biggest men are the least pompous men there.
Inflated fallacies do not enter their system.
Every day you can meet face to face these real com
munity builders—the men who do things!
Buying at home keeps home dollars working at home.i
Keeping money in the home city is saving money for the
home city.
