The Fight On Cancer RoniiVino- thnt trip nrilv hnrw of reduciner the death rate from cancer is in education, since from 50 to 95 per cent of rr.any kinds of cancer are curable if treated early, members and officers of the Federated Women's clubs are again lending lend-ing their support to the annual campaign, sponsored nationally national-ly bv the Women's Field Army. Through lectures, pamphlets, newspaper and radio publicity pub-licity and other media, the women hope to spread the true facts about cancer that will help to reduce the toll taken by this malady each year. By means of new types of research, improved treatment and organized education, such as the present campaign, the, women are hoping to gain a final victory against an enemy which kills approximately 150,000 of our citizens each year. There are a few facts to remember about cancer that if generally known may aid in earlv diagnosis and cure. Cancer is not hereditary and it is not contagious. Stated in its simplest form, cancer is merely the uncontrolled uncon-trolled growth of one or more cells or tissues of the body. There is only one sure way to make certain of cancer, and that is throuirh microsconic examination of the suspected sus-pected tissue by a trained soecialist. Stay away from quacks. The enlistment campaign of the Field Armv is now under un-der way. Already there are J 35.000 women actively interested inter-ested in this work, and more of them are joining each day. Membership is a dollar, of which seventy cents is retained by the state, to be expended under a budget prepared and administered ad-ministered by the state organization. It is a worthy cause in which all women should be enlisted en-listed and everyone should lend support- Straw On Winds of Change Where, would you imagine, is the most modern, up-to-date, model cotton mill in the world? New England, where the textile industry first flowered in the United States? Some southern state where some enlightened employer is pioneering? Germany, proud of its industrial techniques and vaunting its solicitude for the labor soldier? Russia, where the industriesare all allegedly run for the workers? "No.' According to a group of United States industrial research experts now in South America, this model textile mill is on the outskirts of Santiago, Chile. That is significant. It heralds the coming South America, Am-erica, which will not only be a producer pf raw materials, but a processor. This trend is inevitable though it may cut" into North American markets for certain distributors' goods. And this model mill uses all North American cotton, and nearly all North American machinery- South American industry is going to be built in any event, and thus it is a pleasure to see it being built with North American aid and co-operation. Uniform Respect For the Uniform Sooner or later some boiled shirt who is also .a stuffed shirt was bound to do this. A soldier bearing sergeant's chevrons chev-rons appeared in the so-very-smart cafe of a fashionable Washington hotel the other day with his best girl, and the boiled-stuffed shirt refused to serve him. One would have thought that this lesson had been learned during the World War: that no place is too good for the wearers of Uncle Sam's khaki- Even the German army has learned that lesson. Prussian distinctions between officers offi-cers and men in public civilian places have been eliminated in Germany long ago. Yet apparently a few lingering out-of-daters have not learned it. Happily, this soldier's commanding command-ing general, learning of the discrimination against the uniform, uni-form, went down to the hotel and raised cain, securing an apology and a promise never to do it again. Today's armies are citizens' armies. Our soldiers are a cross-section of our people. And we hope that this lone case remains alone that never again do we hear of any public place arrogating to itself the phony "right" to discriminate against men in uniform, officers or enlisted men.

In this book, the author gives us the keys to the history and culture, the folkways and scenic wonders of seven of these regions. CHINA SHALL RISE AGAIN, by Mme. Chiang Kai-shek. In a preface to this volume Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek quotes an old Chinese proverb: "Any medicine w7hich does not make a man dizzy will not help him to recover." That Japanese aggression is making China dizzy is a fact too obvious for comment.

The.-e arc spac limitations, so be brief I Imperialist Theory Held To Be Erroneus Editor, Herald A recent communication to thi3 column concerning the war expressed ex-pressed a point of view which is not only erroneous, but actually dangerous to the American people. peo-ple. The writer, after listening to a radio speech against isolation. i accused the speaker of hot under- standing the real nature of the war, and of failure to discrimin- ate between governments and people. It so "happens that t'ne speaker m question, a deep stu- dent of history, economics, and politics, spent ten active years in Europe just before the war, and if anyone is qualified to speak with authority and knowledge about the situation over there it is he. The writer went on to tell us that the struggle is an imperialistic imperial-istic one between the "haves" and the "have nots." Any close survey of the factors which comprise com-prise the present struggle points to the fact that the conflict is one of opposing ideologies. While the imperialist motive may have been present as a prime mover at the beginning of the struggle, every sensible person must, realize real-ize that more than land or wealth is now involved. The battle rages about the issue of whether the nations of Europe can remain free or be reduced to slavery by the Nazi monster. I don't care what name is given to ruthless aggression aggres-sion against a country like, say Poland, but it must be stopped by all free and right . thinking people before it spreads too rapidly rap-idly and too far. The writer of the article seems to be under the mistaken impres sion that peoples can be divided from their governments. May I suDmit mat tnis is not true, and the very facts of the war bear me out. Every competent observer agrees that the German people are solidly behind their leaders. If they were not, the Nazis could not have accomplished wTiat they have so far done. The writer says that the people desire only to save their own lives. Well, the history of the German people in this war does not support that statement. at all. One historical fact should be clear in the minds of every student stu-dent of present day world affairs. That is. that the British men of wealth, the so-called imperialists, did everything in their power to avoid going into war. Tt was finally the British people, the great masses, who more or less took matters in their own hands When they saw the dark cloud that was falling over the rest of Europe. Our writer forgets this fact, as he hastens to tell us that the governments of various nations na-tions collapsed because the people lacked confidence in them. This, whether he realizes it or not, is only more proof that you . can't divide peoples from their governments. govern-ments. No confidence, no government! govern-ment! Real Americans, thinking Americans, Am-ericans, know that it takes cooperation co-operation and sometimes a little sacrifice to make democracy work. They know that if at any time a buay can push a little fellow around with impunity, no matter what the reason, then no one is safe. When capital and later are suspicious of each other and people peo-ple lack confidence in their government, gov-ernment, then the country is due for collapse. The world is in a mess, partly because we Americans Ameri-cans insisted on staying in a little box. without paying attention to anything else. Well, we've out- WOULD VOU BE KIND ENOUGH TO GO TO THE "STORE LJ FOR ME? Sunday's Editorial Praised By Doctor Editor Herald: Your editorial in last Sunday's Herald entitled "A Meal, and a Roof, and Democracy" is too good to pass up without making some comment on it and complimenting you. In fact it should be read by every thinking, wide awake citizen; citi-zen; and especially should it be read by every congressman. : I am wondering if you could not mail a marked copy of Sun-day'St Sun-day'St Herald..to xur. congressmen: and perhaps to some other con gressmen. I have recentfy written our senators and representatives, together to-gether with a few others, telling them that I am firmly of the belief be-lief that the time is approaching when they should adopt some technique tech-nique of government that will give social and economic security to each and every citizen. It is quite evident that security is the word the young man meant when he used the word Democracy in his speech. Our democracy, as we now know it, cannot long endure, en-dure, as you have said, unless we develop some technique of government gov-ernment that will guarantee security. se-curity. It is self-evident that liberty lib-erty cannot exist without security, as liberty is dependent upon security. se-curity. The moment a man becomes be-comes dependent upon the charity char-ity of relatives, friends, or others; that moment he becomes a bondsmana bonds-mana slave. He automatically sacrifices his liberty that he may live. Liberty is dependent entirely upon security. It would be easy for our national nation-al law makers to enact some plan into law that would give an annuity an-nuity to all employables when unemployed, un-employed, and to all unemploy-ables unemploy-ables each and every month. Not only our aged, but all unemploy-ables. unemploy-ables. When the employables are at work they have an income and do not need the annuity to give them buying power. If some such a plan were enacted en-acted into law as is described in a booklet entitled; "A Plan to End Widespread Unemployment and to care for the Unemployed and Unemployables" it is quite evident that our whole population Aould be cared for; and it would be much cheaper than would war, or the cost or trying to maintain our present lorm or government without security. If security was guaranteed, every citizen would light to the last ditchto maintain our democratic form .of government. govern-ment. Not so without guaranteeing guarantee-ing security.. The corner stone, as you put it, is lacking. We really should adopt a plan to insure security se-curity and ihen amend our constitution, consti-tution, guaranteeing security as well as guaranteeing Life, Liber-cy, Liber-cy, and tne Pursuit of Happiness. In fact, it is impossible to guarantee guar-antee liberty without guaranteeing guarantee-ing security. J. W. AIRD, M. D. grown our box and today the only adequate description of an isolationist iso-lationist would be a comparison to an ostrich with its head in the sand. In these trying times when speed and unity count we should be thankful that our government fees the way clearly ahead of it, and we should back the policy of that government. The time for quibbling is past and if democracy is to be worthwhile we must act. Remember the old Greek paying: A wise man doesn't wait to get kicked in the teeth when he sees it coming.

Plainly he had been willing to delegate a task to her, then assume that she would do it promptly and exactly right. She was a trifle nervous about all this. And yet. she would try!
