Whether the German victory is a quick one or whether the battle is prolonged, the most informed writers and thinke-r-; see many reasons to believe that troubled times ahead will cause considerable change oi; the economic front of this nation. There are good reasons for believ ing this contention. In the first place, German figures prove that in seven years the Reich has spent $36,000,000,000 in gigantic military preparat-ion. Besides this expenditure, the most perfect military ma-chine the vorld has ever seen came into being by the conscrip-tion of labor, and the most skilled workman's pay did not ex-ceed $2 a day. German laborers worked more than 60 hours a week with no f pay for overtime, with their food-stuffs and clothing grants rationed and supervised. The Ameri-can r work week is strictly enforced, the pay check fat and the overhead much highar in comparison. If United States is going ahead in preparation of armaments designed to match those of totalitarian states to enable protection of this government and this country, it is evident that it will cost us as much, if not more, than the German nation spent to equal their military preparations. If we do rearm for all possible emergencies, we must have a navy that can police both the Atlantic and Pacific; maintain an air force capable of flying to protection of any point on the western hemisphere; mobilize and train an army of 1,000,000. The experts say this will cost more than "the few billions" the average American judges sufficient. A second point of importance is that outside of United States it is a fact that the capitalistic system of private property and free enterprise and free labor has ceased to exist. In every world power the United States dictatorial governments, totalitarian states, nave taken over business and labor in complete monopoly. This means that labor, man power, of other countries is in vir-tual bondage and existing on a standard of living lower than that f any time in the past century. American agriculture and industry have long depended on Euro-pean trade for sale of surpluses. The impact of competition of our American made goods with the products of sweated labor and slave labor of Europeans will be a jar felt from the biggest industrialist in United States to the humblest workman. No tariff will be able to keep out the manufactured goods made fiy d labor in plants with virtually no overhead. If such pro-ducts are to be barred from entry into this country, to whom will America look as purchaser of our exportable surpluses? It has been suggested as a possibility that the German Reich will reduce the United States to the status of a colonial possession by force of economic pressure. Experts say this is a possibility of likelihood, and that such an attempt will probably be made, the agreement for a reciprocal limitation of armaments more or less sketched above is reached, certain high oficials in Washington insist that it will be tantamount to another Munich. The administration is laying stress on the fact that it intends to maintain the democratic form of government in this hemisphere. That it has made, and is making, important sacrifices to keep the South American states in line with this policy. A number of South American republics are in sympathy with these ideas but the tota-litarian, it is admitted, have more than one avenue through which to change the form of government In many of these young republics. A militarily strong United Statos will be capable of maintaining the illusion of democracy in the southern hemisphere long enough, it is hoped, to command respect during the other dramatic changes which are bound to occur in Europe after the smoke of battle has cleared. But a United States as weak militarily as it is now will not be able to support the various South American presidents, and "pacific" penetration by the totalitarian would occur more speedily than most optimists now anticipate. Hitler and Mussolini have on occasions expressed their con-tempt for democracies and democratic governments as being in-efficient, unwieldy and slow. Certainly not without reason. The French infantry, admittedly the best in the world, was speedily conquered by the Germans because they were Press dispatches have related the heroism of the French army, how it marched without food, without sleep, at times without even enough ammunition to fight a rear guard action against the steadily advancing enemy. The French infantry was, and still is, the finest in the world. But it could not fight off tanks. Airplanes and armored cars. No infantry can. The English are reported to be more poorly equipped than the French. No wonder Hitler speaks of democratic governmental processes with scorn. If any one lesson can be learned by the events of the past few years it should be that rearmament to the fullest extent is the only logical and sensible course for a democracy to follow. And that absolutely no trust can be placed in any treaty with a totalitarian goverment or any reliance can be placed to any solemn statement or promise of any dictator. From Washington Constantino Brown recently wrote: In diplomatic quarters there is a strong feeling that within a few weeks after the surrender of the European nations, the Ger-man government will approach the American people with a sug-gestion for a limilation-of-arm- s agreement and resumption of normal trade relations. It is believed that Herr Hitler's diplomats will tell us that rtiere is no fundamental quarrel between the two nations. That Germany understands the roused feelings of this country, which were due mostly to propaganda, and suggest that by gones be by.gones. . They will point out that the present war was the result of een- - furies of quarrels and rivalries of the European continent and that we have no part in these rows. They will also point out that there arc no geographical boundaries between the new and the old world and that (Jet many intends to organize a United States of Europe to live on neighborly terms with the United States of America. Credits, will be required. Manufactured products will be needed to help to-wards the reconstruction of Europe which has produced nothing We have been warned by what has gone before. Better than the English, the French, the Polish, the Norwegians, the Czechs, the Dutch, the Belgians. Better because we have had aTl the facilities of informed press and radio and the perspective of 3U00 miles dis-tance to really evaluate what was and is going on. We can't expect lo preserve our democracy without great efforts and great sacrifice. It would be a fine thing if on the Fourth of July every speaker could convince every listener that we are living in a time of great peril to everything loyal Ameri-cans hold most dear. ( If we are to resist the foe that marches over a helpless su pine world, every politician must become a statesman and every citisen a patriot, willing to give every bit of strength and every cent that can possibly be spared lo the saving of our nation from destruction. Whether the attack on us will be economic or by force of arms, it would be a proud nation that could defeat the foe, not by a citi-zenry regimented andlriven to defense, but a country that marshal-ed all her armies and all her resources as the glad contribution of patriots who saw the danger and gave in willing sacrifice every-thing they had in strength and money to the task of quick rearma-ment. No matter what the demand requires, it could not pay for a hundreth part of the security and happiness we enjoy as citizens of United States. LET'S NOT FORGET THE NEED FOR Sl'KF.D. but war goods for so many years. This logic will undoubtedly appeal to the businessmen and work-ing classes of this country. A new wave of prosperity will be en-visioned by our people. And since the philosophy that money brings flower is a popular one, the military considerations of such a plan are bound to be overlooked. The German government will not sug-gest that we disarm. Far from it. But they will suggest armaments and not go into a further "useless" waste of good money for new arms which will prove totally unnecessary if we don't have aggres-sive intentions. Germany in turn will also maintain only what she has hnd eventually, when and if the troubled situation in Europe is settled, she will begin reducing her armed forces to our level. Of course that may take many years but it will mean that we won't need to dip into our pockets and build up to her present strength. That such an argument inijhl be appealing is likely. We did the same thing in 1921 when we signed the naval agreement with the other naval puwe-r- s and scrapped good new ships tor blueprints. In administration quarters it is believed that the battle cry cf sticking to our own business with a modest preparation for the de-fense of our shores will be taken up by the opponents of the Roose-velt renomination and reelection. It u ill have a great appeal for the masses. Mothers will be told that their sons won't have to die in the fulfillment of Quixotic ideals of the present administration. The businessmen will be lured by the idea of improved and better busi-ness without government control and the taxpayer will be relieved to know that he won't have to split his earnings 50-5- 0 (If not more) with the government to pay for the tremendous expenditure which our rearmament is bound to call for. t such a suggestion from the Berlin government is accepted and I PRESCRIPTIONS IKE THE MAIN PART OF OUH BUSIXEs FILLED ACCURATELY WITH FRESH DRUG THE PRICES ARE REASONABLE.

U THIS A SAFE AND SANE FOURTH. , (Signed) Bingham Fourth of July Com 1r.rn,.,.,T., (iM - i SAVE AS WELL AS SPEND The present Federal debt limit of $45,000,000,000 will undoubted-ly be raised to around $50,000,000,000 in order to make it possible to provide new capital for the national defense program, as the current peace di-b- t is virtually at the legal limit. The cost of an adequate defense stru. tore will reach incredible totals. In addition to raising the debt limit and taxes, it is certainly the duty of public officials of both parties to reduce government ex-penditures for other, less essential purposes even at the expense of pet political projects that have swallowed billions of the nation':; wealth. There is an inseparable relationship between national de-fense and national fiscal solvency. Each increase in taxes or debt must inevitable result in a steady lowering of a nation's re-sources. It is as important to learn Jo save as it is to spend when national emergencies demand it. The defense program must be pushed with all speed. Similar speed should be shown in paring evc-t- nickel possible from the ordi- - j nary federal budget in order to release evory available dollar of regular government income for legitimate defense needs. Every conceivable economy should at oiue be etlected so that inci eases in taxes and debt may be held to the absolute minimum. A sound fiscal policy is one of the mo t vital factors in a nation al defense program. Vernal Express m c" THE BULLETIN FOR FINE PRINTING ij |
