NUMBER 37
This and That
In their public utterances, French and British
statesmen said that they were "amazed" and "astounded" by the suddenly announced German-Russian peace pact, which followed hard on the heels of a
Soviet Nazi trade treaty. However, the fact seems to
be that the more hard-headed officials of the world
democracies were much less surprised than they say.
For it has long been forecast by realistic commentators that a German-Russian alliance was not only possible, but inevitable.
There are several reasons for this. Russia was
Germany's most dangerous potential enemy, and if
Russia could be pledged to neutrality, Hitler knew it
would make the ambitious imperialist program laid
down in Mein Kampf infinitely easier to achieve. And
Russia has long been eager to assure peace in Europe,
so far as she was concerned, in order that she might
give undivided attention to protecting and advancing
her vital interests in Asia.
Furthermore, it is obvious that in method and
ideology, the Communists and the Nazis have been
coming constantly closer together. In both nations all
private liberties have been "destroyed—one-man government rules supreme—"enemies" within the state
have been exiled, imprisoned and executed—and the
state dominates all economic activities.
There is another side to the picture, however,
which is far from favorable to Germany. Hitler's action has definitely alienated Japan from the Axis, and
the Tokyo cabinet which favored close cooperation
with the Reich has been forced to resign.
More important, the opinion grows that German-
Russian "cooperation" must drive a wedge between
Berlin and Rome—and that there is at least a possibility that in time.Mussolini may decide Italy's best
interests lie in regaining friendship with her old allies, England and France. This would be a staggering
blow to Hitler.

'GOD'S PLAN FOR THE AGES"
gCTFTHiTrTrlrlrMriarlrrrTrrrl^rlrlrFT^
Speaking on the subject, "God's
Plan for tbe Ages," Bishop Alma
White said Sunday in Alma Temple,
13th Avenue and Sherman street, referring to the creation, that there is
a master mind back of the universe.
The plan of salvation for the human
race was wrought out on Calvary
when God gave His Son to redeem
fallen man, but it has not been personally accepted, hence all the
trouble in the world.
The four beasts ^escribed in the
7th chapter of Daniel have their
counterpart, she said, in the leading
nations of the Old World The cry
of "peace" will be in vain as long
as the sins of this nation mount up
to heaven: but right will triumph in
the end, and the saints are to inherit the rejuvenated earth."
HERE 'N THERE
By Anna Madole
I am sure all American citizens
want peace and sincerely believe we
should be kept out of this European
entanglement.
This is absolutely nothing to
gain by going to the aid of either
side. In the last World War in
which we fought on foreign soil to
save the world for DEMOCRACY,
We lost that war! not in the fact
that the enemy did not surrender,
bu we lost hundreds and thousands
of our fellow men, who died on the
battle field, but there are thousands upon thousands who did not
die, but were left feeble minded,
without arms and legs, with only
one lung. Those who were gassed
who are in Veterans Hospitals thru-
out the country. These men gladly
gave part of their lives that this
world might be safe for you and
rue to live in. But it was in vain
The same thing has happened that
happened in 1014—Sides are being
drawn -up, and if America isu'^v^ary
careful we may be taken into the
conflict.
Our president and cabinet should
not pass their opinion to rulers of
other nations. They should keep
strictly neutral. Keep suggestions to
themselves.
And war materials—all nations
need them—you will say don't sell
them any. Money interests will say
we are entitlexl to the business and
will go ahead and sell.
I think it would be best to sell
to any and all nations alike. If ye
do not, we will only be drawing ourselves into the conflict. But tell
them they must pay cash, must be
called fdr and transport back to
their own country.
Our government should under no
consideration loan money to European countries. That's where we fell
down in the last war. Only one
small nation has paid back (Fihv
land) all others have defaulted. If
big money wish to take their chance
—that's O. K. but the government
should not guarantee a loan.
These are just our views of keeping out of war. We're maybe wrong,
but never the less America should
keep out of war.
The average American citizen is
interested only in making a living,
having a home and raising a family
in peaceful surroundings.
They do not want to raise children
to only be killed in a war on foreign
soil that is none of our affairs,

the largest amount
State Auditor's Figures Show
Need for Reorganization Bill
Defeated by Democratic Senate
As an illustration of the increase in the work
done by the state, Homer Bedford, state auditor has
compiled some interesting figures. He says that in
1932 just before the large boards, bureaus and commissions were created the state auditor issued 54,815
warrants against the cash funds of the state. In 1938
he issued 126,467.    .
That shows that the total number of warrants issued against the
cash funds of the state increased
more than one hundred percent.
The general fund warrants did
not increase in numbers by any such
percent. In 1932 there were 22,662
warrants issued against that fund,
while in 1938 the number had only
increased to 26,199.
This shows that the increased
work in the state government has
come from the departments dependent upon euali funds for their
maintenance. The state auditor did
not' compute the total expenditures
through these sets of figures, but
the increase in the cash outlay is
about on a parity with the increase
in the number of warrants issued.
"This state is being run by the
invisible government, the heads of
the cash fund departments. It is
not being run by the duly elected
state officials", "And the matter is
growing worse all of the time',, said
Mr. Bedford. Then he continued.
"If there Is any way to stop these
cash fund expenditures, we could
save money for the state. There is
no way to do it as far as I can find
out." was the last statement made
by the state auditor.
—But the Denver Republican
clearly recalls how the solution to
this very problem was stymied during the last legislative session.
If the Democratic Senate had allowed the reorganization bill as introduced by Representative Marion
Strain and Senator Preston to become a law these boards, bureaus
and commissions would have been
stopped in their wild expenditures.

THE LOW DOWN
— -  -    from	
HICKORY GROVE
I see where the 100 million they
gave Mr. Wallace down in Old
Spendthrift Town, it is all gone—
and now Congress has given him
another 100 million. If everybody
who tost his shirt on some Uorse-
race could go back and get another
100 million, it would be great stuff.
Hot Dog!
But this last 100 million, Mr.
Wallace, he is gonna put it on the
same old horse again, so it don't
look so promising—for the taxpayer.
But I was gassin' with my old
friend Henry about it—Henry lives
in Puget Sound—and he says, Jo,
maybe you never heard about the
duck who took his spring bath, and
lost his vest. And I says, what has
that to do with Mr. Wallace's shirt?
And Henry says maybe Mr. Wallace
will find his shirt like the duck
found his vest, the next spring.
And I says where did the guy
find it, and Henry says, he found it
under his shirt.
But    I can    see where Henry is
confused—Mr.    Wallace,    he won't
have either a shirt or a vest to find
anything under—by next spring.
Yours, with the low down,
JO SERRA.
