Interest rates are the lowest they have ever been. Money can now be had by the Box Elder County School District for not to exceed 1.5 per cent interest. If the bonds are voted and sold, the money can be invested in government securities yielding an income sufficient to pay the interest during the waitng period. The new bonds and the present indebtedness of the district can be paid out in 16 years with a levy of not to exceed 2 mills annually, will z In the meantime our children enjoy properly lighted and comhealthfortably heated ful school rooms.

As the Okinawa campaign ends and our air bases are set up on that island of V Cash Union Emperor Hirohito, but would hold military reasons, them under a trusteeship rather than on the basis of outright ownership. As matters now stand terms of U. S. control of these mandated areas taken from Japan at such high cost will impose no restrictions nor time limits for their use for military purposes. More than likely we will come to some terms with Japan for similar use of Okinawa. Problem of Mandate Islands in Pacific 0 It has cost us something like casualties and upwards of a hundred billion dollars to wrest these mandated areas from Japan, and as Secretary of the Navy Forrestal said: "It is unthinkable that those islands should not be a part of the pattern of American security in the Pacific." Resources of the islands are negligible. Total population runs about 120,000 . . . but as air and sea bases they are important in guarding the Philippines and our route across the Pacific. There appear to be troubled times ahead for amicable cooperation between the United States, Britain and Russia in the Far East. In the first place our leaders are not definitely in agreement whether we want or need Russia's help in the Japanese war . . . they are not agreed whether complications which would arise as a result of Russian help may not become more difficult to handle than 200,-00- the Jap homeland, routine bombing of Jap naval bases at Nagasaki, Sasebo, Kure and Kobe may be expected in preparing the way for invasion of the Japan sea, that stretch of water between the Japanese Islands and the mainland of China. Not only will Okinawa serve as a base for land based planes, but it may prove to be the jumping off place for invasion movements, so it may be assured that the new stage in the Jap war will get under way when Okinawa is finally set up as an operating base for the army and navy and our powerful air arm . . . which will not only include a larger fleet of but Flying Fortresses, Liberators and medium bombers, accompanied by fighter planes and fighter bombers. No other outside territory except Korea is so strategically located as Okinawa with reference to Japan, controlling as it does the approach to Japan from Formosa and China.

The of GEORGE S.BENSON Two years ago when national legislation affecting schools was proposed nobody who favored the bill ever called it the "federal school control bill." That alone would have defeated it. No sincere friend of America's public schools wants them bossed by the national government. The thing was referred to always as "federal aid to education." That sounded much better. But a great many people were not fooled at all. They had seen bait used to hide hooks before by political as well as practical fishermen. Although the bill stated, right in Section One, that it would be a nice little law if passed and not help any government man, or group of men, grab the schools and run away with them, the platitude was ignored by our sage and seasoned Senate. Amended by Senate On the floor of the Senate the "federal aid" bill underwent some changes. As changed, no part of the federal funds therein provided nor any part of the local funds thereby supplemented could be used to make or maintain any distinction between races. That's federal control, beyond dispute. 1 am not discussing the merits of the amendment. I am saying in s: Federal control will follow federal aid as night follows day.
