It is well that this is so because the Federal Government appears to be giving up the ghost in tlie Chinese affair. Our tremendous sacrifice in tlie Pacific area was dedicated b.v our policy of maintaining a free Chinese Republic, but with the collapse of effective resistance in tlie northern areas of the country, our policy vanished like tlie snows of yesteryear. Today, for the first time since the flight of Chiang Kai- shek and the end of our various missions to the East, an organized effort is being made to change our Administration's outlook on the future of China. A group of Republicans who are leading the fight on this issue have started an eflort to incorporate some form of help to Nationalist China into the.military aid program. If there is to be any hope for a change in the fortunes of war in the Orient, it must obviously come from Uncle Sam. The Government has taken the dim view that there is no way in which our money may be spent usefully or successfully against Communism in China. If we adopt this position in China, we shall not only have lost this great nation as a source of friendship, but we shall simultaneously forfpil our hold on Indo-Chinese sympathies and endanger the cause of the Western World throughout all the Asia.' Police State In Action If a case history of the Communist method is wanted, no better example can be cited than the fate of Czechoslovakia today. Created by the inlluence of the Western nations after World War \, the Republic of Masaryk was betrayed in the opening phases of World War II. When tho.-..\Kas~eR*d- ed, there was high hope that this freedom-loving nation might be restored to its vigor and its inlluence in Central Europe. But the second betrayal was quickly in evidence, and today the people of Prague are despairing for their future. Insidiously, the- Communist Party infiltrated the posts of power and now rules the country as it chooses, while the Czech people wonder bewildered how it ever happened. This week, the announcement from Prague that the government is threatening to close more than a hundred monasteries and convents if they do not seek state approval and further ordering all religious groups to declare their loyalty to. the present regime conies as neither shocking nor unexpected. This is part of the Red pattern. Seizure of control within, followed by the destruction of all possible sources of opposition to the government—these are the invaried formulas of the communist technique. How long the West can sit by and accept the endless recurrence of these conditions without protest remains to be seen. If the process is repeated often enough, the Communist ideology will conquer the world by default, .just as it once appeared likely that Hitler would conquer Europe. Fire Prevention Week During the next Twenty-four hours, the chances arc that fire will take 30 lives and destroy $2,000,000 worth of property. And that will happen during every ensuing day and night, if fire waste continues at the present rate. That is why public officials and civic groups in some 10,000 communities are now organizing in preparation for the 19'H) Fire Prevention Week Observance, which will take place from October 9 to 15. Fire Prevention Week has been an annual event since 1920, when President Wilson issued the first simple precautions that wil prevent most fires. To achieve that goal, thousands of experts contribute freely their knowledge, time and energy. Nothing is left undone that might serve the cause. Practically every American, unless he be a hermit in the hills, has the chance to gain knowledge that may save his life, his home and his job. However, this fine work is of small value without public cooperation. The experts are ready to teach us, but they cannot make us learn unless we wish to do so. They are offering an opportunity—and it is up to us to take it. The point is plain and simple. Listen, read, and learn during the week—and put into constant practice what you learn. If we do that, fires horrible and unecessary harvest of death and destruction will be sharply reduced. What About Deficit Spending? If a government cannot balance its budget in time of peace, when can it? That is the 60 billion dollar question today, as Mr. Truman prepares to push us into peacetime deficit financing. It is elementary that constantly rising Federal debt is a strong .inflationary factor, but the evidence is mounting that Mr. Truman and his assistants want inflation. They are scared to death of anything" like a return to. stable conditions, because they are afraid of unemployment, price declines, and anything else which their experts predict as the consequences of such stabilizing developments. Unfortunately, workers who find that their earnings buy little as prices mount may not look forward to such conditions. . For generations, men and women have been taught the merit of living within their incomes. The same truth that anything else means disaster is just as true for nations as for families. Mr. Truman's effort to ignore this fundamental truth mifsf be repudiated by the nation as it would be repudiated for our families. West won all of its game lough" this year because th'.- first i team graduated. Easl, on the j other hand, will have a veteran team. I Th'- s'.':*ond grime at 2:1", p. ni.

Hundreds of acres of primitive forest, areas were rav- jaged in the area approximately 'l~i miles northeast of Helena.

The record class of 700 was graduated in June exercises making a total of 1,137 for the year, ths largest in the history of the university. Grove Patterson, editor in chief of the Toledo Blade, gave the address at the exercises and the topic of his address was "Education— For What?" Mr. Davidson received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education. The emergency funds drive is nationwide. "In no way is this an emergency in the sense that an epidemic is upon us here in Ohio," Governor Lausche said. "Rather, it. is one of finances. The large number of polio cases throughout the nation has depleted the treasury of the National Foundation i'or Infantile Paralysis." Governor Lausche pointed out that the National Foundation does Jii't wait until a case has been proved to be poliomyelitis before it goes into action. "The mere Suspicion of polio is enough to bring aid and assistance from this line organization," he said. A large portion of the fund.s contributed during the emergency drive wiil pay back money spent for care of polio victims who contracted tho disease earlier in the year and who now have recovered Other portions will pay for the continued care of those who suffered cripnling elfects. Dr. John D. Portorfield, Director of the Ohio Department of Health, also lauded the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. "The fact that the Foundation guarantee? which was being was , very cordial pe.iole everywhere niendous ovation.-. garct iv,'is there als beautiful young ladv." | Mr. McSweeney relates further that he and Mrs. McSweeney witnessed the changing ot the guard c '!'. inoiiy ..n the old esplanile at Kdinburg ("a.-tle. He states that many world travelers feel thai it is among the most colorful pageant.-, that they have ov r seen.

Th: Mc'Sweencys left Kdinburg for London by express, train through the coastal country "f .North England. They arrived in London on the evening of September ."i. On the morning of the ilth, jho went to the American lvnha.-sy bv way of the Franklin Roosevelt Memorial on Grosvennr's Square.

Let's Not Give Up On China
The Administration's defeatist on China finds no reflection in the minds of most thinking people. It is well that
this is so because the Federal Government appears to be
giving up the ghost in tlie Chinese affair. Our tremendous
sacrifice in tlie Pacific area was dedicated b.v our policy of
maintaining a free Chinese Republic, but with the collapse
of effective resistance in tlie northern areas of the country,
our policy vanished like tlie snows of yesteryear.
Today, for the first time since the flight of Chiang Kai-
shek and the end of our various missions to the East, an
organized effort is being made to change our Administration's outlook on the future of China. A group of Republicans
who are leading the fight on this issue have started an eflort
to incorporate some form of help to Nationalist China into
the.military aid program. If there is to be any hope for a
change in the fortunes of war in the Orient, it must obviously come from Uncle Sam.
The Government has taken the dim view that there is
no way in which our money may be spent usefully or successfully against Communism in China. If we adopt this
position in China, we shall not only have lost this great
nation as a source of friendship, but we shall simultaneously
forfpil our hold on Indo-Chinese sympathies and endanger
the cause of the Western World throughout all the Asia.'
Police State In Action
If a case history of the Communist method is wanted,
no better example can be cited than the fate of Czechoslovakia today. Created by the inlluence of the Western nations
after World War \, the Republic of Masaryk was betrayed
in the opening phases of World War II. When tho.-..\Kas~eR*d-
ed, there was high hope that this freedom-loving nation
might be restored to its vigor and its inlluence in Central
Europe. But the second betrayal was quickly in evidence, and
today the people of Prague are despairing for their future.
Insidiously, the- Communist Party infiltrated the posts of
power and now rules the country as it chooses, while the
Czech people wonder bewildered how it ever happened.
This week, the announcement from Prague that the
government is threatening to close more than a hundred
monasteries and convents if they do not seek state approval
and further ordering all religious groups to declare their
loyalty to. the present regime conies as neither shocking nor
unexpected. This is part of the Red pattern. Seizure of control within, followed by the destruction of all possible sources
of opposition to the government—these are the invaried
formulas of the communist technique.
How long the West can sit by and accept the endless
recurrence of these conditions without protest remains to be
seen. If the process is repeated often enough, the Communist
ideology will conquer the world by default, .just as it once
appeared likely that Hitler would conquer Europe.
Fire Prevention Week
During the next Twenty-four hours, the chances arc
that fire will take 30 lives and destroy $2,000,000 worth of
property. And that will happen during every ensuing day
and night, if fire waste continues at the present rate.
That is why public officials and civic groups in some
10,000 communities are now organizing in preparation for
the 19'H) Fire Prevention Week Observance, which will take
place from October 9 to 15.
Fire Prevention Week has been an annual event since
1920, when President Wilson issued the first simple precautions that wil prevent most fires. To achieve that goal, thousands of experts contribute freely their knowledge, time and
energy. Nothing is left undone that might serve the cause.
Practically every American, unless he be a hermit in the
hills, has the chance to gain knowledge that may save his
life, his home and his job.
However, this fine work is of small value without public
cooperation. The experts are ready to teach us, but they cannot make us learn unless we wish to do so. They are offering
an opportunity—and it is up to us to take it.
The point is plain and simple. Listen, read, and learn
during the week—and put into constant practice what you
learn. If we do that, fires horrible and unecessary harvest
of death and destruction will be sharply reduced.
What About Deficit Spending?
If a government cannot balance its budget in time of
peace, when can it? That is the 60 billion dollar question today, as Mr. Truman prepares to push us into peacetime deficit financing. It is elementary that constantly rising Federal
debt is a strong .inflationary factor, but the evidence is
mounting that Mr. Truman and his assistants want inflation.
They are scared to death of anything" like a return to. stable
conditions, because they are afraid of unemployment, price
declines, and anything else which their experts predict as
the consequences of such stabilizing developments. Unfortunately, workers who find that their earnings buy little
as prices mount may not look forward to such conditions.
. For generations, men and women have been taught the
merit of living within their incomes. The same truth that
anything else means disaster is just as true for nations as for
families. Mr. Truman's effort to ignore this fundamental
truth mifsf be repudiated by the nation as it would be repudiated for our families.
