liave to be expanded to accommodate some 15,000.0000

In addition to this group, the F8OC people figure
there are about 20.000,000 people in tlie nation, not

If the defense program causes a great deal of

of relief and low-income families will decline. As
that number declines. It will be possible to spread
the stamp plan thinner The Agriculture Department
has always looked on it as a stop-gap depression

as industrial recovery really takes hold.

DMNTON, TEXAS. OCTOBER 1. 1940
BUSINESS IS IMPROVING
Although Texas Isn’t enjoying a boom like some
sections In the East where industrial activity is at
a high leve}, this part of the State nevertheless is
experiencing a' steady and gratifying Increase in
bustneaa, especially in retail lines. A better than
ordinary cotton crop, better farm prices and more
money in circulation have produced an upsurge in
business that seems to be ruther solid, backed as it
is by the prosperity tn the industrial areas of the
country where the re-armament program Ls Just
’ getting under way.
Not being an industrial State. Texas cannot to
expect the swift impetus to business that occurs
in the manufacturing sections of the country, and
by the same token, when industrial activity slumps
elsewhere, Texas won’t get the sickening drop in
business that is caused when factories shut down
and thousands of employes are laid off.

NATION OF NOMADS
Ever since the pioneer days in America, citiaens
have been migrating from one section of the coun-
try to the other. MUch of this traveling has been
westward, and some to tlte Mouth, but although the
open range is no more and the entire country is
rather well settled, tlie desire to roam seems as
strong as ever. In fact, the inclination of Americans
to wander about has created a serious problem that
T ' - ta receiving closer study by a congressional committee
Investigating interstate migration.
Representative John H. Tolan of California, chair-
man of this committee, estimates that each year
4,000.000 men, women and children wander over the
nation in search of something to do. or Just simply
wander. Most of these people are poverty-stricken,
and find the pickings Just as slim at the next place
as where they were before. But they go on and on,
because they have little incentive to locate at any
one place. t
States and cities don’t want these wanderers, for
they constitute a relief problem and occasionally a
petty criminal problem Apparently the only course
left is for the federal government to take charge
of the situation and relieve the smaller political
unite from the responsibility of caring for these citi-
aens. California ba* had more than iu share of

GUILTY PATRIOTISM
The weird operations of the totalitarian mind are
seen impressively in a statement made by Hitlers
Volkischer Beobachter.
"How long?” asks the nazi organ, and answers the
question itself
“Churchill is prepared to keep his word—to con-
vert London into a heap of wreckage. Tlie question
arises whether the English people will, or how long
they will, follow Churchill along this course. ’
The reader doubtless gets tire idea It is Winston
Churchill, not Adolf Hitler, who is destroying the
great city of London What can be done about a
statesman so wicked and perverse as to commit such
a crime as that?
Tlie obvious remedy, which the nazi leaders them-
selves have suggested, ts for the British people1 to
kick Churchill out. of office and make peace With
Hitler, who would thereupon put his men in to run
the British government He has done that tn various
other countries where the government* have been
more co-operative Now he is naturally annoyed past
endurance by a stiff-noekrd man who insists on de-
fending his own country — TexarkAna Gazette
