A Column of Comment Orem s Business men are organized. From a dozen different angles that important fact is being thrust over the entire business front of the town. A. V. Washburn, the new president, is backed by some 35 to 40 business men in an aggressive policy for the benefit of the community. Selection of officers and appointment of committees Wise and Otherwise Tramp. Tramp. The boys are marching again. Cant you hear s, them? The long lines of the terror boys, the kind that find a German or a Jap or an Italian, or perhaps all three under each bridge, In each factory, or in any other hiding place ready to blow the country to smithereens. . How reminiscent of 1914 and there on until the U. S. went Into the World War to save the word for democracy and to fight the war to end popa-gandist- during the past week have oc cupied the preliminary efforta toward unity, Btatea Mr. Washburn. The following men have been named, and the organization is headed toward a program of unity and expansion in Orems business life, he adds. Charles Robbins, vice- - presiwrs! dent; Glade Linbaugh, secretary; That the same old propaganda Oliver Johnson, treasurer; Admachine U working again, there Maline committee: vertising can be little doubt.

Americans should come to , Wilburg, and Darwin Willet. by-la- a realization sometime that the territorial a rs of Europe have been going on for centuries; that nationalist hate3 overseas are strong and deeply planted and that those who Bhout that they are today the defenders of the rights of the Individual were only yesterday, so to speak, the agressors. France had Napoleon; England, George the Third; and examples almost without number loom up In history where the present situations have been reversed, and the nations on either side of of the present controversies have been in the land grabbing business whenever the opportunity offered or could be created. A strong case could also be made out to the effect that the present crop of dictators is the direct result of the last war and iti peace without Justice or mercy. . This f'tat Is practically admitted by France and England of' today. And our greatest thinkers today are wondering what we will get out of the next war to make the world safe for Democracy. Senator Borahs interview of last week, wherein be said America had plenty1 to do at home to cure it3 own ills should be read by all Americans. His further thought that the present course of international brigandage and lawlessness on the part of Germany, Italy and Japan had been greatly encouraged, If pot made possible, by the conduct and policies of Great Brltian and France, should be given serious attention by the people of this country when the war crie3 are raised and our help Is called fur. And finally, before Joining In the hue and cry, let us ask ourselves this question: Are we ready to go ourselves or send our sons to Europe to stop the dictators and help save the present map of Europe or make a new one? All those who are ready to fight n person, not by proxy, may have some excuse for shooting; the reBt of us ought to go into a deep, unending silence. Preliminary meeting3 setting forth objectives have been held, and contact meetings also have been held with the Chamber of Commerce and the Orem Town Board. The next session is called for Tuesday night when Important matters regarding policy will be decided, Mr. Washburn states.
