The problems brought about by the recent sharp protest to Russia against Communistic activities in this country and in Russia, in violation of the pledge made two years ago when recognition was granted to the Soviet Union, are deep and will require cool and careful statesmanship. Especially in this Russian situation should the United States be careful. The problems encountered since the sending of the protest note may be found to be deep and far-reaching. Certainly it is important to keep this country out of foreign wars. On the other hand it is equally important to keep foreign wars out of this country.

Communism and Nazism clashed not so long ago in New York City. Here was foreign warfare on a small scale, of course on what must forever be neutral territory. Communism and Nazism are totally un-American doctrines, detested by all genuine Americans and espoused in this country only by those who, whether nominally citizens or not, are in fact non-Americans. This country has no taste for Europe's disputes. It is likewise distasteful to have those disputes brought here or to have the communistic doctrines of other lands broadcast in this country.

Taxation will be avoided and the great new tax bill which will begin to bear down upon all citizens with income will be withheld until after the elections. This subject also can be counted upon as one of the major problems of the next administration, whether it is Democratic or Republican. The next session probably will see the soldiers' bonus enacted for Democratic leaders virtually gave consent to this to avoid its being attached to the tax bill at this session. However, it may not all be as easy as some of the newspaper observers indicate.

While President Roosevelt obtained much of his desired legislation, nevertheless there still are many matters that will need attention. A subservient congress, whose members are now back home, or going back, to fix up their political fences and prepare for their next campaign, will undoubtedly have learned there is a considerable opposition to most of the New Deal policies and practices. For that reason the next congressional session, while it will be shorter than the one just adjourned, certainly will not find the members as docile and supine. cent from the original Michael Quigley, the true derivation of Swatara is Swatragh.

They said, in effect, that "it was the voice of Roosevelt (and a good one) but the hand of Frankfurter." What they mean is that the Harvard professor, who has been living at the White House for weeks, framed too academic a speech. It had no punch no political headline. Mr. Roosevelt won't repeat that mistake on hi3 western trip.

Ray Moley, whom some second-guessers have placed on the has-been list, has been slipping in and out of the White House one day a week lately. The original "brain truster" has a forceful style and a gift for striking phrases. He touched up some of the President's best notes and speeches in the early days. You will se his firm imprint on the By JOHN SELBY approximate location of the Quig cruise. One of the high spots of the trip was a small boat drill, in which the local boys lowered a life boat overboard from the cutter into the rough lake.

A collision drill, a fire drill, abandon ship drill, and other emergency drills, together with routine duties of scrubbing down the decks, standing watch on the bridge, navigating, steering, and other activities occupied the. attention of the. boys for every hour of the cruise. Local Sea Scout officers, including Skipper James Moore, Mate William Louler, Scout Executive John E.

Fields. ANNOUNCEMENT BY BAINBRIDGE COLBY, secretary of state for President Wilson, that a Democratic party based on the sound principles of Jef-fersonianism and antagonistic to the Roosevelt New Deal program might be organized, must have thrown a scare into the ranks of Roosevelt followers. Further than that there are indications of a possible split in the Democratic national convention which may cause trouble for the present administration in its efforts to have Mr. Roosevelt re-nominated. Of course, Mr.

Colby and his co-workers for Jef-fersonian democracy may not be able to do all they have in mind. But the fact that the present organization shows such a virility and determination is something to ponder over. It may just be possible that if Mr. Roosevelt is re-nominated and there seems to be little doubt tut such a thing will be accomplished that this new organization of Democrats sponsored by Mr. Colby and his ccf-workers will wield a sufficient influence in the presidential election to take many votes away from the President.

Many "leading Democrats" say Mr. Colby will be called into a conference soon to lay plans for a counter-campaign. The situation is fraught with dangers to the present administration in Washington.

The officers also were antrusted with the official task of making regular entries in the ship's log book. Weather for the cruise was rough, with winds fairly high, and waves broke ovpr the deck of tha cutter frequently during the trip. Several touches of sea sickness were reported, but by the close of the cruise the boys had acquired their sea legs, and were enjoying the cruice. On the last day of the cruise, the local members inspected the coast guard station across the bay from the Erie docks, where the guardsmen staged breeches buoy and other drills.

An exceptionally fine list of horses has been entered for the various events, many of them coming from quite a distance. The fact that twenty-one events of various classifications have been arranged speaks for the variety of the program. There is no finer sport than riding and no keener, intelligent animal than a good horse. Those who sponsor and stage these horse shows here are to be congratulated for they not only are encouraging a sport that has almost disappeared in certain sections but they are creating a new interest in a feature of American life that should never have reached a stage where it suffered a decline.
