It's nothing new, or wrong, for the Navy to withhold information about the movements of ships. The. State department and other branches of the government can't tell an inquisitive world about business relations with foreign governments. Trained newspapermen everywhere, always know a lot of things T;hat shouldn't be printed and therefore they exercise the "freedom of the press" in leaving out a good many itemp. The St Lawrence Project All arguments during the past 40 years have been overwhelmingly in favor of building and deepening the connection through the shallow places in the St. Lawrence river and the Great Lakes. One great daily newspaper grudgingly admits that "some day it may be desirable to provide a waterway which, though closed by ice for half the year, will permit ocean-going vessels to pass between the Atlantic and the Great Lakes." Now, President Roosevelt resurrects the proposition and pictures it as one of the great needs of national defense. There are a lot of good things besides national defense. This seaway is one of those good permanent things. The Panama Canal was needed when it was built. The deep seaways project was a necessity then, and it still is. The Great Lakes .-region went to bat for that project even before Coolidge urged it, in his time; even before Hoover urged it in his administration; even before Roosevelt urged it in his administrations. Now, that government'money is easy to get the Great Lakes people 'should wake up again and go after their rights. They have a chance to win, and perhaps it wouldn't cost the «. government anything because there are so many half-billion dollar sums to blow in. that another hal^-billion dollars would ..never be missed, -if-p. ,y*;as£or the seaways plan. ^-^ ._, Why Democracies Crumble... Government, under strict democracy, doesn't compete with its citizens in business and doesn't receive an income, except through taxation. But democracy is flexible and its existence depends upon the will of the people. If people wish to weaken democracy by permitting government to banish freedom of enterprise, they are entitled to do so. The fact that democracy is so flexible enables any person in the land to advocate policies which, when adopted, curb the rights of citizens, thus causing the democratic way to become more and more remote. Strange as it may seem, the very people whose liberties and opportunities are thus destroyed, often support such policies. Because nov man can definitely say just how far democracy can be submerged by government before it is in the clutches of socialism, the people accept restrictive measures, figuring that it is safe to do so as long as democracy remains in form, even though in reality it doesn't exist as it was originally intended. When a people forget how democracy was born, and ignore the principles that keep it alive, it is hard to see what will stop the growth of a bureaucratic system which will destroy it. Democracy is non-existent when socialism gets the upper hand, and the individual's vote becomes more of a formality than a formidable weapon. What of the Children? The danger and the hope, the menace and the salvation of the world of tomorrow lies iri^the children of today—for whatever ideals, ambitions, and beliefs are inculcated into the hearts and minds of these children will determine the future of the whole world. The children of Europe—what do they bring to the future? The children of Germany are trained to hate. Their mind's are warped and distorted. They are like a flask filled with poison, destined for destruction. What constructive thing can they offer to the world of tomorrow? The children of Russia are "mirror" children. They are taught to see everything in reverse—an Alice-in-Wonderland distortion of vision, a perversion of the facts. How can they build a normal world? The children of Italy are grounded in the parade of militarism. They are steeped in the glory of war, stimulated to gloss over and cover up conditions as they are today. What they grow into the world has seen in time of crisis. The children of the conquered countries have a better chance than the children of the aggressors, though their handicaps are more than any child should have to bear. They are twisted by hunger both of body and mind—a hunger that will have its devastating effect on the world when they reach manhood and womanhood. The children of England will have to overcome a physical burden because of the constant raids, alarms, and abnormal living conditions*—but they can grow. They can face the world with pride—for they are fulfilling .a great tradition and are living history—a history which will give them honors and courage to hand down to future generations. The children of the western hemisphere are more fortunate. They are free to grow straight and strong in both body and spirit. The education of these children is the great task of the nations of the west, for the children of today will reach manhood and womanhood at the most critical years of the present cycle. We cannot teach them how to handle the problems that will confront them, for even the wisest of the elders does not know what these problems will be—but they can he taught faith and honesty, kindness and courtesy, loyalty and fair play—a yardstick of honor by which to live and by which to shape the world, of the future.

D. 6 In an interview following the school Miss Buchan stated that the crowd was very easy to work with because the people were with her one hundred per cent and were willing to be shown new and better ways of performing tasks in the kitchen. Throughout both sessions Miss Buchan cooked and baked, showing her results to the audience _ and awarding Jier cakes and pastries to members in the audience. Those at the second session got a hearty laugh when one member of the audience got the frosting bowl to lick. Others, took home with them the goods which she had baked as proof of the quality of materials and method which she used in demonstrating her lectures. Miss Buchan herself appealed to the audience for the manner in which she went about demonstrating her materials and recipes. Time after time, she got a laugh from the audience as she related experiences in cooking schools and some of the pitfalls of cooking. The ease with which she mixed cakes and pies while continuing her talk appealed to many of the women who find, it difficult to cook when talking "with visitors. Local merchants gave away prizes at both meetings and each woman in the audience took home with her. printed recipes which she can try in her own home. The ^school was planned by the North?

The St Lawrence Project All arguments during the past 40 years have been overwhelmingly in favor of building and deepening the connection through the shallow places in the St. Lawrence river and the Great Lakes. One great daily newspaper grudgingly admits that "some day it may be desirable to provide a waterway which, though closed by ice for half the year, will permit ocean-going vessels to pass between the Atlantic and the Great Lakes." Now, President Roosevelt resurrects the proposition and pictures it as one of the great needs of national defense. There are a lot of good things besides national defense. This seaway is one of those good permanent things. The Panama Canal was needed when it was built. The deep seaways project was a necessity then, and it still is. The Great Lakes .-region went to bat for that project even before Coolidge urged it, in his time; even before Hoover urged it in his administration; even before Roosevelt urged it in his administrations. Now, that government'money is easy to get the Great Lakes people 'should wake up again and go after their rights. They have a chance to win, and perhaps it wouldn't cost the «. government anything because there are so many half-billion dollar sums to blow in. that another hal^-billion dollars would ..never be missed, -if-p. ,y*;as£or the seaways plan. ^-^ ._, Why Democracies Crumble... Government, under strict democracy, doesn't compete with its citizens in business and doesn't receive an income, except through taxation. But democracy is flexible and its existence depends upon the will of the people. If people wish to weaken democracy by permitting government to banish freedom of enterprise, they are entitled to do so. The fact that democracy is so flexible enables any person in the land to advocate policies which, when adopted, curb the rights of citizens, thus causing the democratic way to become more and more remote. Strange as it may seem, the very people whose liberties and opportunities are thus destroyed, often support such policies. Because nov man can definitely say just how far democracy can be submerged by government before it is in the clutches of socialism, the people accept restrictive measures, figuring that it is safe to do so as long as democracy remains in form, even though in reality it doesn't exist as it was originally intended. When a people forget how democracy was born, and ignore the principles that keep it alive, it is hard to see what will stop the growth of a bureaucratic system which will destroy it. Democracy is non-existent when socialism gets the upper hand, and the individual's vote becomes more of a formality than a formidable weapon. What of the Children? The danger and the hope, the menace and the salvation of the world of tomorrow lies iri^the children of today—for whatever ideals, ambitions, and beliefs are inculcated into the hearts and minds of these children will determine the future of the whole world. The children of Europe—what do they bring to the future? The children of Germany are trained to hate. Their mind's are warped and distorted. They are like a flask filled with poison, destined for destruction. What constructive thing can they offer to the world of tomorrow? The children of Russia are "mirror" children. They are taught to see everything in reverse—an Alice-in-Wonderland distortion of vision, a perversion of the facts. How can they build a normal world? The children of Italy are grounded in the parade of militarism. They are steeped in the glory of war, stimulated to gloss over and cover up conditions as they are today. What they grow into the world has seen in time of crisis. The children of the conquered countries have a better chance than the children of the aggressors, though their handicaps are more than any child should have to bear. They are twisted by hunger both of body and mind—a hunger that will have its devastating effect on the world when they reach manhood and womanhood. The children of England will have to overcome a physical burden because of the constant raids, alarms, and abnormal living conditions*—but they can grow. They can face the world with pride—for they are fulfilling .a great tradition and are living history—a history which will give them honors and courage to hand down to future generations. The children of the western hemisphere are more fortunate. They are free to grow straight and strong in both body and spirit. The education of these children is the great task of the nations of the west, for the children of today will reach manhood and womanhood at the most critical years of the present cycle. We cannot teach them how to handle the problems that will confront them, for even the wisest of the elders does not know what these problems will be—but they can he taught faith and honesty, kindness and courtesy, loyalty and fair play—a yardstick of honor by which to live and by which to shape the world, of the future.
