That la the reason whv the department, think, reported adversely on this particular bill, in that there Is sufficient legislative authority for appropriations to carry on this type of Investigation."

COLUMN: In England Sir Anthony Eden'a The critics went to work on Roosevelts plan for 50,000 airplanes, and an extra appropriation of a billion dollars. How much would 50,000 airplanes really cost? And how many men would it take to staff them, and operate them? The experts began to figure. They discovered that at tha prlea England and Francs pay for aircraft, 50,000 planes would cost at least six billions. Tha American aviation professionals backed up this astonishing sum. Then our air chief put It at seven billions. But this waa not all. It takes thirty men per plane, to keep it properly conditioned and piloted. Hence, it would take 1,500,000 men to run our 50,000-plan- e aerial armada. These, plus the force of 750,000 regulars now talked about would make tar an army of over 2,000,-00- 0 men, mostly air force. ' And there came the rub for an army of X 250, 000 would (minimum) mean nothing leu Man universal, costly conscription. But asked tha critics, didn't Roosevelt know that a mere billion dollars would buy and equip comparatively few airplanes? Meanwhile, America's three beat practical military critics, Lindbergh, Rlckenbaeker (our Nol 1 ace), and General Smedley Butler of the marines, expressed tha belief that the United States was quite safe, and endeavored to allay current hysteria, moat evident in the U.

Here is a philosophy which was set forth by Brigham No one shall Young very early in the history of Utah: buy or sell land, for all land shall be held in common. Every maw shall have land measured off to him, both in the city and for farming. He may have as much as he can till and use. If he refuses to till his land it shall be taken from him. All wood and timber and water Trill belong to the community, and all other natural resources; there will be no monoply in this valley by any wian of any such resources for his own wealth and power. Any person trying to take greedy advantage of the materials which we must all use for our common welfare will be driven out of this valley. Nobody will ever live in luxury in this valley while others starve. What if he had held to that idea throughout his life? NAMES Rev. Dr. William Lindsay toms, president of Park college.
