THE WAR SITUATION. Again, all's quiet on the western front That is, there has been no heavy fighting there. The repeal by this country of the arms embargo was received in various ways by the European bel- llgerants. France and England hailed It as a step In true neutrality, while Russia and Germany saw IB It a step by Uncle Sam to get a share of the war profits. If one reads the speeches of the various senators and representatives who spoke on the subject of the repeal of the arms embargo, he will hardly know whtber he is "going or coming." It would probably be better to forget all that has been said and apply a little commen sense and do some thinking for ourselves.

Tuesday's daily papers carried the news of a clash between twenty-seven German and nine French planes, in which nine Germans were brought down while the French suffered no causalties. The French victory was credited to the fact that the planes they used were American made, and were of the Curtis pursuit type. They were so superior to the German machines that the latter had no chance. Norway took over the City of Flint, an American freighter previously mentioned, and that bad been captured by a German war ship. It is supposed that the City of Flint contained contraband goods.

The captured vessel was manned by a German crew and sailed for Germany. However, probably to avoid meeting British war ships, the German captors put the American freighter into a Norwegian port where It wag instantly seized because the warring parties had entered a neutral port. The German captors and crew were sent to concentration camps in Norway, and the City of Flint, under her American crew, permitted to proceed on its wey. This brought a protest from Germany, but was declared by Norway to have been done under international law. The British declare that they have practically conquered the Germany submarine warfare.

There is considerable uneasiness felt over the attitude of Germany and Russia toward their smaller neighbors. Russia's demands on Finland were among the more important matters and later Germany made certain demands on Belgium that some thought were a prelude to a declaration of war when 'Germany will again he smashing through Belgium on her way to France. The general opinion of the situation is that this is not another World War. Instead those in position to know are wondering if there really will be a war. Certainly the nations engaged do not Heem inclined to do more than participate in skirmishes.

There is hope that another World War will be averted. Now they tell us that superior brains cause Bkin diseases. A long time ago someone said that thin skins were naturally dry and easily irritated and subject to disease. The repeal of the neutrality bill was purely a non-partisan move. Men who differ radically with President Roosevelt's main motives, agreed with him on the repeal of the arms embargo.

The repeal of the law was not a victory for Uoogevelt in any sense of the word. For once he managed to be in accord with a majority of the people.

Eaten in Adracee ation for governor of Iowa next year. The editor of this paper could make the satne announcement concerning himself, if he thought It necessary. One is about of as much import as the other. If the people of the United States remain as determined against participating in the European war as they are at this time, all will be well. Senator Clyde Herring seems to be very uneasy politically.

Well, he has a right to be. Al! successful men are great workers. Three youths recently convicted of petty crimes that took them to the penitentiary, declared that when they got out they wonld learn trades and thus become self-supporting. is a wonder so many boys and girls grow to manhood and womanhood without knowing anything about making a living. A man (shouldn't even raise a pig without fitting It for the market.

President Roosevelt says he Iowa. United for what? wants a united Soviet Russia says Finland made threats. That's like a big bruiser beating np a lltle fellow because "he insulted my Bister." Eioui City Journal: Possibly a warning against over optimism wonld be entirely appropriate at this time. It is said that the commerce department is eager to discover whether there is a firm basis for the expansion. A better way to put it, perhaps.

Is that the department is concerned over the possibility that tba partial recovery will not be as permanent as desired. It might be the better part of management not to be taken in by a business boom to have the bottom fall out at a time when we were encouraged to believe we again were on the road to prosperity. All of us know how serious it Is sometimes for a patient to suffer a relapse. All of us know, too, that the worst disease the country ever has known comes from the germs of depression. A Palo Alto county farmer owns a blue steer with which he does a large part of his farm work.

It reminds one of Paul Bunyan's mythical Blue Babe of the north woods. It will be remembered that Babe and Bnnyan were remarkable beings. It was Paul Bunyan who walked around in northern Minnesota one spring when the weather was wet and the ground soft, and his foot tracks filled with water and made the ten thousand of them. The largest one is where Blue Bade laid down to rest One thing we have to be thankful for is that spending has admittedly definitely flopped. In spite of the billions of dollars that the government has poured into the depression rat hole, it Is now admission brings the belief that the national bud- admission beings the belief that the national budget should be balanced.

Colonel Lindbergh visualizes a great war between the white races and the colored in years to come. Many people believe that will be the great world war. The thought is that the white races are the ones that believe in the Christian religion and therefore are In favor of self-determination and what we call democracy. Within a few hundred years this clash between the races will doubtless come. Ability oftimes runs second to perserverence.

TIMELY REMINDER tttvxettc Alfred 0. Tate, secretary to the late Thomas A. Edison, stated that the electrical wizard could sleep any where and at any time. He would drop asleep at his work bench or desk, with his arms for a pillow and his feet resting on the bench. He sometimes slept for thirty-six hours at a stretch, except to he aroused for a short period when he would consume a big steak and trimmings.

Happy is the man and happy he alone; He who can call today his own; He who secure within can say, Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today. WASHINGTON SNAP SHOTS Written at Washington For hard and realistic descriptions of what something really means it's usually a good Idea to go to the dictionary or encyclopedia. The definitions contained therein may not be very poetic, but they give a real picture of the hard facts.

Even this does not tell the full story of the mounting indebtedness. Because of the near approach of the limit of legal Indebtednese, the government has stopped using its own securities to borrow money for government corporations such as the reconstruction finance corporation. Instead It has helped those corporations to borrow money In their own names BO that the debt would not be charged to the treasury's restricted borrowing powers.

Regardless of this subterfuge the borrowings by these corporations are In fact a government debt, as payment Is guaranteed by the treasury department, Such contingent liability debts, guaranteed by the treasury, now total $5,357,026,198, which If Included in the treasury's financial statement would bring the total of Indebtedness nearly half a billion dollars above the legal limit at this time. In spite of this condition the administration Is planing still larger expenditures next ye which is presidential year. Each election year during this administration has seen public expenditures turn strongly upward, and the urgency of next year's campaign is apt to push them to a new high point. How long this sort of financing can continue without a crash is a matter that has most economists worried and puzzled at the present time. All are agreed it cannot go on indefinitely and most believe a change of policy must come very soon If serious results are to be avoided.

Perched high in the Alps, and facing belligerent nations on two sides, the Swiss are well aware that their fertile plateau and valley lands offer one of the best strategic military routes around the Maginot Line and the Siegfried West Wall. To avoid offending any nation, and thus offering an excuse for invasion, they have made neutrality almost a religion. They have carried this so far that when their President recently visited the frontier on an inspection tour he gave cigarettes to both French and German soldiers posted on the border. But the neutrality is an armed neutrality. The Swiss are determined to defend their land against any invader.

Consequently, their craftsmen who are famed throughout the world for their ability to make delicate mechanical devices have been called to take up arms That is where the tragic part of the story enters. Reports seeping into Washington tell that it is costing Switzerland more than a million dollars a day to keep the workmen mobilized. That is a tremendous sum when one remembers that the Swiss government's expenditures for all purposes in 1938 were only $125,872,000. Maintaining her present army alone would cost nearly three times that much. Even more important is that Switzerland's foreign trade is disappearing.

In the one month of September, the Swiss lost 54 per cent of their trade. So long as her men stay mobilized, Switzerland will have the terrifically increased cost to meet and reduced income to meet it. the office of the Clerk of the District Court. MARGARET OLSON. Administratrix.
