Now that the big fuss bus got under way in Europe it will
be a good idea if we in Texas take stock of the situation as it
may affect social intercourse of our own people Out of the
5824715 population recorded for this state in the 1930 census
we bad a total foreign etock of 426293 of wlficb 98396 were
whites born in other countries and 327897 were first generation
native whites Like extractions for second and third generations
place a large number of Texnns in the category of proximo foreign
extraction
Of those born abroad or first generation natives the Germans
lead in Texas with a total of 153362 127449 native and
25913 immigrants Czechoslovakia is second with a total of
48920 36638 native and 12282 immigrants England is third
with 29603 22821 native and 6782 immigrants
Other countries involved or likely to become involved the
European embroilment represented in the Texas population arc
Italy 21651 with 15101 native Russia 14455 with 8988
native Poland 14369 witli 9780 native Austria 11217 with
7917 native and France 10185 with 8393 native first generation
Texans
It is natural that these groups will have more or less of a
sympathetic feeling toward their respective homo lands during
such times of stress
Rut as individuals and groups these folks will do well to
use extreme tact in expressions of their views under the circumstances
It is easier to avoid difficulties than to attempt to
find a way out of them
In this country no one can deny you the right to your own
opinions but use a little discretion in their airing
So long as you keep before you the thought that your first
allegiance is to these United States and recognize the fact that
others enjoy the same right to draw their conclusions as is granted
to you you will contribute much toward keeping down possibilities
of Old World animosities disturbing the peace of Texas
Those of us who have many generations between us and the
other half of this World should also bo tactful in our remarks
in the presence of those of a later immigration Under present
tension when the big question for us is whether or not America
will be drawn into the conflict we will do well to think more
and talk less
In other words

If you are goim to bet some money don t be so cocksure
about the war and what it may entail This may bo remembered
as what certainly must be the fact
No nation or community ever made lasting profit out of war
believe it or not It isnt done Profit dors not ensue from waste
waste of human life waste pf materials Whatever clfio hap
sure that profit from war is rarely pcnnaionJFJoyd County

Occasionally vou hear someone remark Why don t liiiglnml
and France get on with the fighting faster I have no sympathy
with that remark If this is not our war as many Americans believe
or business whether the British and
lieve then it is none our
French fight either fast or slow
f Furthermore the British have quite a task in transporting
troops across submarine infested waters Thai is tlier reason tor
secrecy just as it was in the IaU war It i also quite possible Hint
the military men of the Allies know fully as much about the
food supply of Germany as do our curbstone colonels I hat also
may have something to do with the type of war they wage e
will have a much clearer picture later Wellington Leader
There is more back of Germanys actions than a madmans
Itit for power A deeper significance in the activities or hng
the desire a weaker nation or
land and France than to protect
to uphold ideals which thev have never honored and a grcacr
purpose behind Russias alliance with Germany and understanding
with Japan than the acquisition of an insigniiicant filiee ol
Pol ah territory
This is a war for economic supremacy in which nultiary action
only serves as a means to an end It is a war which has been
fought more bitterly in the channels of trade than on the battlefield
And it is a war which is not directed primarily at shill
of but at tillacking the ceo

WASHINGTON
The final answer of Congress
to President Roosevelts plea to
repeal the embargo on arms and
ammunitions to belligerent nations
hinges in the long run on
public sentiment and Senators
and Representatives begri as
soon as they had convened In
special session to get expressions
of public sentiment which were
quite the opposite of what the
President and most of the mem
bers of Congress hod believed was
the way the people of the Unit
ed States felt
The Presidents clearly stated
desire to keep the United States
out of war met with an over
whelming response of approval
Almost as unanimous are the expressions
of sympathy with the
Allied cause as against Hitler
which are included In the record
breaking volume of mall and tele
grams addressed to the White
House and the Capitol No such
voluminous and widespread pub
lie interest has been shown in
any question with which Congress
has had to deal at any time in
the past
Literally hundreds of thousands
of letters have poured in On the
first day after the historic special
session opened one Senator alone
received more than 28000 letters
from the people of his state
Favor Embargo
But while the Presidents mail
and telegrams were almost unanimous
in their praise of his
speech to the Congress with its
repealed declaration that the pur
pose of the American people is
to keep out of war and his as
sertion that the way to be truly
neutral is to repeal the arms embargo
provisions ot least of the
present neutrality law the tenor
of the letters which came to Capitol
Hill is a stout denial that the
Presidents program will keep us
out of war and an appeal to retain
the arms embargo as a safeguard
of peace
From some sections of the coun
try the ratio of letters favoring
the retention of the present law
is as high as a hundred against
repeal to one In favor of it In
no section of the nation is the
majority against repeal as expressed
in letters from constituents
less than ton to one
Some of the letters indicate
clearly that they have boon inspired
by different peace blocs
but n surprisingly large popor
tlon nro spontaneous individual
communications from people who
earnestly believe that the Neutrality
Act as it stands insures
American neutrality in the Euro
pens all hands must join in paying for the folly whoso ovor folly pcan conflict and so will keep
it may be of war Blame anybody you want to bhuno hut out of war
Tolls Differ
The latest nationwide polls of
public opinion by the agencies
engaged in checking up on what
people think tell a comowhat different
story with as high as 53
percent of voters in favor of
amending the Neutrality Act or
repealing it cntrioly
All of theso expressions and
reports of public opinion are being
carefully studied by both the
Executive and the Legislative
branches of the Government They
will be reflected in the debate
in the Senate where the battle
will influence the final vote of
Congress Those debates will be
influenced as doubtless many of
the cxrysslons by voters are influenced
by partisan political considerationsIn his address to Congress the
President took pains to disclaim
any partisan point of view lie
took the unprecedented step of
calling into conference at the
White House before he prepared
his speech not only the leaders
of the Opposition in Congress but
the tltulur heads of the Republican
Tarty Gov Alt M London
nd Frank Knox the candidates
for President and VicePresident
in 1930 lie called on the American
people to act as a unit without
regard to political affiliations
Landons Statement
Governor Landon in a public
statement declared that the grave
national issue of keeping out of
war is clouded by the shadow of
the widespread belief that the
President desires n third term in
his high officer There is no doubt
that some of the opposition In
the public mind and among Sona
otrs and Representatives to adoption
of the Presidents program is
based upon the belief that in one
way or another it might be used
to further his candidacy for a
third term in the White House
The dominant belief hero Is
that when it comes to a showdown
in Congress the President
will get what he asked for In
that case a rush of war orders
from Europe is expected and
theio will bo something of a
business boom for which tha Administration
will get tho credit
from wageearners and other
beneficiaries of increased employment
and higher wages and profitsTHE TVUA HERALD TVUA TEXAS

Lesson for October 8 Matthew

Golden Text Matthew 33
In symbol John the Baptist has
been represented by a straight
line Certainly between him and
heaven there was the shortest
distance between two points
Rather was heaven in his heart
and he swerved no more Bfwn
the right than heaven changed
Surely it was fitting th at the
Messiah was heralded by so great
and good a man
He and Jesus had much In common
Angels foretold the birth
of each They were cousins We
do not know whether In child
hood they had known each other
as well as their mothers had
known each other If at Jordan
they seemed to meet as strangers
each recognized In the other
something than transcended all
human relations
Naturally such a man bocantc
a preacher Multitudes went into
the wilderness to hear this strange
man tell them of their sins and
bid them repent And many of
them were baptized of him confessing
their sins
Now some of the people thought
that John was the Messiah But
precisely because he made people
think of the Messiah was John
qualified to see that Jesus was
far greater than himself And he
demurred when Jesus came to
him for baptism saying he had
need to bo baptized of Jesus
Many have wondered why Jov
sus came to John for baptism
He came not as a penitent Doubtless
it was the case that in com
Mr and Mrs Spencer Ellis and pletely identifying himself with
Mr Doyle of Lcvelland visited
with Mr and Mrs J S Ellis and
Mr and Mrs J A Ellis over the
weekend
Mr and Mrs Charlie Sledge
and baby daughter Barbara June
visited with Mr and Mrs E Roper
Sunday afternoon
Mrs C G Spiccr Oliver and
Evelyn visited in the Roper homo
late Thursday afternoon
deserters within the British lines Josh Walling visited in the Mitch
during the Revolutionary War loll home Friday afternoon
his people he who knew no sin
came to the baptism of John for
the sake of those who had abundant
need to repent
And John bare record saying
This is the Son of God And
later looking upon Jesus as He
walked ho said Behold the
Lamb of God
It is significant that John was
called a voice The man was lost
in his message And they whd
would prepare the way for the
King today must forget themselves
in remembering Him and the
men who do not yet know Him
as their Saviour
