Show M THE PAYSON CHRONICLE, PAYSON, UTAH NEED FOR CITIZEN SOLDIERY by SAMlhL IX SI'LL, Utilities Promoter, Chicago. 'Y LIFE throe score and ten has taught me that the only way to be prepared in a country like this a country in which the people will not have a large standing army lies in the creation of a citizen soldiery ready for any emergency. I often think of that when I hear these people who are always decrying tlie possibility of another war. I will tell you that it is highly possible for war to come. Oh, it may not come in my time I am getting near the end. But I am thinking of the men twenty years younger than myself, or even of myself as I was twenty years ago. Who would not have laughed at a man that twenty years ago had attempted to picture to the world the terrible orgy of slaughter of 1914-191Who would not have thought him fantastic and irrational? It may not even come from without who knows? I can remember i nd it docs not seem so long ago that I sat with my father in our home in a little town in England and heard him read in the newspaper about the fall of Lichmond. It seems an incredibly short time since as a boy I heard how this country was split in two and one part at war with the 8? other. Army men have learned the lesson that obedience to and respect for authority teaches. One of the great troubles with our young people today is their lack of respect for authority and law. They want to kiss their way through life. They want all the benefits this great country confers on its citizens, but they dont want to carry any of the obligations. 1 Neptune's envovs announce the cnm'ng of 1030 on Hie sands of Santa Monica, Calif 2 Senator Frederick M. to Germany 3 Olllce in the State, War and Navy Suckett of Kentucky who was ejected as Ameinan Hmbi-siiilo- ibuilding, formerly occupied hy General Derailing. now used hy resident Hoover while the executhe office building Is being repaired after Hie tire. NEWS REVIEW Ilf CURRENT EVENTS Prohibition Enforcement Is Still the Chief Tcpic in Washington. By EDWARD W. PICKARD con- enlorcement PROHIBITION tinued to be the dominant question in Washington, and the dry leaders in congress were especially vocal in the controversy. The most important development of the week was the statement by Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington that during conferences with members of the Hoover crime commission he had been glad to learn that the commission is unanimous in agreeing that its function is to devise the best means possible for enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment. Senator Jones averred tlmt the commission holds that the wisdom or unwisdom of the amendment is not involved In Its work. This was field to he a severe blow to the hopes of the wets, though it is hard to see how the latter could have expected the commission to try to determine the practicability of prohibition. Senator Jones asserted that the dry phuse of tlie commission's woi k should be completed by July 1 and warned that a clear and convincing showing of its need will have to be made before funds for prolonging the prohibition inquiry beyond tlmt date are made available. As Jones Is prospective chairman of the senate finance committee, he will he in a position to supervise funds asked for the commissions work. The Washington senator continued : I find that an important report has already been given to the President. It will be submitted to the congressional Joint committee sought by the President as soon as created and ready for work. Other reports will be ready soon. seem to view the Industrial as the most difficult one to solve properly, as well as one of Hie most important phases of prohibition enforcement. In working this out the commission should shield no Individual and no line of business. Senator Borah of Idaho repented his attacks on the present dry enforcement personnel, asserting that "practically open saloons" are to be found When I say tills, all 6ver the land. he said, I do not mean simply New I mean to state a York or Chicago. condition which prevails throughout the country.

Among the callers were tlie members of tlie cabinet, the handsomely garbed diplomatic corps, senators and representatives and many high officers of the army and navy. Sir Esme Howard, tlie British ambassador, and Lady Isabella were the first of the long line of diplomats to wish the Hoovers a happy New Year. The chief justice and Mrs. Taft were missing from tlie White House reception for the first time In years, owing to the death of Charles P. Taft. Over in Berlin President von for the first time held a similar reception. The diplomats there disputed over the matter of precedence, for their dean is the ambassador from Itussia and the representatives of the United States and other powers that have not recognized the Soviets naturally would not follow him. Finally It was agreed that the French ambassador. De Margerle, 6hould lead the way and present to the president the good wishes of the diplomats.

He Issued a statement In Lexington in which be said that either tlie coalition tariff measure, which attempts to carry out the promise of real tariff benefits for the farmers, will be enacted or there will be no tariff bill at all. "Tlmt latter," he said, is tlie more probable outcome, which means that months and months of congressional sessions have been utterly wasted because of the effort to jam through a tariff revision that had no reason in economy or justifiable excuse at this time. under tlie INDIAS Nationalists of Mahatma Uanc'M have taken a bold step toward Independence for their country.

NEED OF HUMAN BROTHERHOOD By RABBI FERDINAND M. ISSERMAN, St Louif. The ideal of brotherhood must be applied not only to the nations but to all the races of mankind and to religion as well. The purpose of memorial services is lost if we concentrate our energies in eulogy or in sorrow over the departed. These men were dedicated to a great ideal the ideal of brotherhood. This ideal has not been realized yet, and perhaps we might honor them more if we should concentrate on how this ideal of brotherhood can be realized. The idea of human brotherhood is of importance today as a factor in preserving peace among the nations. In an age when science has perfected instruments of destruction, and war lords are ready to use them not only for the destruction of soldiers but civilians as well, civilization must choose between the ideal of brotherhood or of destruction by its own M. science. movie director und nine other HAWKS, The same is true in the difference of men. tunity, history and environment.

Where the children had a great deal of freedom, in the progressive schools of Europe, their conduct seemed to he better than that of our ehil- dren here; where there was a great deal of discipline, their conduct was worse. On the whole our progressive schools are doing excellent work, more advanced than that of tlie schools abroad. We can get from them better projects, better means of teaching music, better methods of teaching handwriting. But we are forging the way and European cduea-- k tional leaders are looking to us to help them.
