The Book Rack BY FRANK WINN a There newspaper in Memphis; Tenn., which has achieved one hundred years of continuous publication and in celebration has issued a centennial edition; now available in pamphlet form. And because the "Commercial Appeal" was on the border line during the Civil War and was forced to take flight, and has been in: the south western and growing era during its hectic career, its story is one romance and fascination and provides a brief review of American history and development. Robert Talley is editor of the special edition; The volume containing seventy pages and an appendix on the present 'status, gives the complete story of the publication from its first Issue until today. It tells of the bitter partisan fights, of the clash between North and South and reflects the true spirit of the Confederacy in an illuminating manner. The personalities who made up the paper and the hattles they fought and won are described in journalistic fashion which all will enjoy. The volume is published by the Mcoariphis Publishing Company :of Memphis, Tenn. Not a book to be read through in one evening "My Wife Ethel," is rather a volume which might be used for family reading to turn 44 disputes to laughs in the average househpld.

The United States has hitherto kept to the letter of neutrality, but since the invasion of Norway, Denmark, Holland and Bel, glum by the Nazis, nobody here thinks the maintenance or violation of neutrality principles makes any difference to Hitler when it sul,ts his purpose to strike. America is not too well prepared. The Nazis. know our weakness even better than we do. Under the circumstances, Germany may endeavor to ' prevent the British fleet from being harbored to by us so as to keep it overseassubject more attacks. There are a dozen, ways in which complications may arise. The realistic attitude of the government here is to avoid involvement if humanly possible, but not to be blind to the fact that strict neutrality may in itself be a dangerous course for the United States if the Allies are on the verge of defeat and the British fleet is the German prize of the war. The Army and Navy folks here have been hesitant heretofore to make extreme recommendations. They have not known whether they should prepare for any or all contingencies, or stick to the theory of defense warfare which prevailed before airplanes became so effective. Today the Congress is receiving letters from all parts of the country demanding adequate defense. Hence the drive is on to meet the insistence of public opinion, especially since it has become known that America's weapons are pitifully inadequate for possible emergencies. The effect of this gigantic drive for defense armament will be to gear up Anierica's whole industrial structure to a momentum which will coincidentally furnish the Allies withplanes and tanks as fast as they wish to transport them. Nobody is talking about technical neutrality 4ny more. The idea now Is to build defenses on the theory that no promise made by the Nazis ever again will be valid.

From the economic point of view this presents many grave problems. With a distorted budget and a gigantic debt it will be difficult to raise the hundreds of millions that military expansion demands. It is the duty of the administration and Congress to provide these funds with as little digtur.''' bance as possibel to our economic structure, and to provide for their expenditure with a minimum of waste and inefficiency. This seems to be the general attitude at the present time. Nothing must be permitted to stand in the way of our preparation to ward off a thurst on the shores of this hemisphere or against our island possessions. The integrity of this hemisphere from foreign invasion must and will be preserved. -- - , - y , their industry and Intelmade them as mighty people in llgence the heart of the Rocky Mountains.

His most significant paragraph was this: "No individual, no group, can clearly foretell the future. As long, however, as a ' possibility eixsts that not one continent or two continents, but all continents may become involved in a world-widwar, reasonable precaution demands that American defense be made more certain." The African continent will become in-volved as soon as Italy enters the war. With Europe and Africa added to the area of combat, the conflict may ultimately be fought over a bigger part of the earth's surface than the last war. The airplane distance from the coast of Africa to South America is very short.

Perhaps a more explicit way to say it is that the American government has been surprised by the rapid turn of events abroad and cannot foretell what AmericanInterests may be vitally involved in a few months. National defense preparationsto be on the safe sideare proceeding on the assumption that America may be forced into the war sooner than anybody expects.

His boyhood was uneventful, much like that of thousands ofother boys born in similar places under similar circumstances, and there was nothing outstanding in hiss career until after he had become affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints, In that organization he rose rapidly to places of trust and responsibility, but it was not until he neared his middle forties that the oppqrtuniiy came for him to display the eminent talents of leadership with which he bad been endowed. Tben,whenh1s people d a leader to guide and direct them, he stepped forth like Moses of old and led his followers to the promised land where they established homes in the wilderness and "made the desert to blossom as the rose." It was here in these valleys of the mountains that President Young and his people diverted water from the canyon streams and began the first modern irrigation. It was from this city by the inland sea, that he directed the activities which have made him known as one of the greatest colonizers of all time, for from this point his people spread out In fan shape, establishing their settlements to the north, the south and the west, with a few in eastern Utah and western Wyoming. Wherever they went they stayed, undergoing hardships at times but establishing their roots deep in the soil, and building a culture and a civilization peculiarly their own. That trek across the plains and the subsequent developments could provide the subject matter for a greater saga than ever yet has been sung. So today it would be most May and proper for the people of Utah to pausi for a moment from the strenuousactivitlei which are theirs, and bow their heads in reverent respect for the founder of their state; the man who, with the help of God, accomplished that which was considered next to impossible, who kept his followers, together through trials and tribulations , which we -t- - mV force the AMes to defeat before the end of the summer Is envisionid here.
