Just when Secretary of
State Byrnes is pressing hard
for a world policy that would
restrain Russian aggression
Secretary of Commerce Wal-
lace, who is sympathetic to
Russian ideology, delivers a
White House approved speech
to a gathering of CIO and
other political action com-
mittees advocating recogni-
tion of Russian sphere of in-
fluence in Europe and Asia
and the United States exer-
cising such influence in Am-
erica. The American people
and world capitols do not un-
derstand the American Gov-
ernment divided aganist it-
self. It is probable Wallace
is up to New Deal tricks of
playing for the red block of
votes in November, but we
cannot understand how the
President could afford to do
it. Or Wallace may be trying
to discredit his rivals, both
Byrnes and Truman. At any
rate the President can only
restore a part of his prestige
by firing Wallace, otherwise
the people are pretty sure to
have a house cleaning two
years hence.
Don’t worry about the na-
tional debt. We paid two
billion on it, leaving only 263
billions. The interest will be
five billion three hundred
million next year, and if we
pay interest and two billion
a year, it will require only
131 yer.rs to liquidate it if we
borrow no more in that time.
In little more than a year’*
time, since V-J Day, the United
States has decreased its armed
might from a wartime peak of
over 12-million men to about 3-
million now serving in the Army,
Navy, and Air Forces. At the
peak of its power, America had
•eighty-nine Army and six Marine
•iivisions, while now there are
about twenty divisions in Europe
and the Pacific and a few tra •
ing divisions in the United States,
which are close to full strength.
Air forces have dropped to less
-than one-third of their maximum
combat strength. Sea power has
not deteriorated to so great an
extent, as 661 warships, out of the
1,167 in use during the war, will
be retained; 251 in full commis-
sion.
Although these figures indicate
a tremendous reduction in our
armed might, the United States
could certainly not be considered
a weak nation from a military
viewpoint.
While other nations are main-
taining huge armies composed of
young ablebodied men, who could
be valuably employed reconstruct-
ing their crumbled countries, the
United States has chosen to re-
lease most of its former service-
men so that they might engage in
building up our country econ-
omically, and at the same time,
•maintain sufficient armed strength
in case of an emergency.

Rural mail carriers provide the
inhabitants of the farm and small-
er towns and villages with the
same efficient service that inhabi-
tants of larger cities receive. In
addition to their duties of picking
up and delivering mail, the car-
riers obtain livestock statistical
data for the Department of Agri-
culture and report forest fires
while in the course of their de-
liveries. . |
Carriers and postmasters, from
whoge offices rural routes emanate,
should be complimented on this
anniversary for making true the
slogan, “The mail must go
through!"
More Veteran* In Civil Service
Civil Service officials estimate
that within a few years approxi-
mately 90 per cent of all men
employed in the Government will
be veterans. Of the total Federal
employment, it is likely that Vet-
erans will comprise over 65 per
cent. The remaining 35 per cent
will consist mostly of women sec-
retaries and clerks.
The Civil Service Commission
will be holding examinations for
many months to come, in order
to set up eligible registers for per-
manent appointments. Veterans,
taking these examinations, are
given five and ten point prefer-
ence. New jobs will go mostly
to veterans; but non-veteran Gov-
ernment employees, who have per-
manent status, will not be ousted
to make room for former service-
men. Each year, thousands of
vacancies occur in the civil ser-
vice because of resignations, re-
tirements and deaths, and it is
expected that most of these will
be filled by former GI's.
( Veterans* Subsistence
A general tightening-up on sub-
sistence allowances to veterans in
school has been announced by the
Veterans Administration. On en-
tering school, veterans will be re-
quired to furnish a detailed report
on expected earnings from out-
side employment. Subsistence al-
lowances will be figured after de-
ductions for wages, bonuses, com-
missions, overtime, and other pay-
ments for employment have been
made. If board, room, laundry,
or other services are furnished in
connection with the job, they will
likewise be deducted. Veterans
now in school and those receiving
on-the-joib training will soon be
sent forms to fill out, concerning
their earnings. Similar forms
must be sent to the Veterans Ad-
ministration every four months
stating the earnings during the
previous period, and the antici-
pated earnings for the next period.
to carry responsibility year after
year, but it is also essential to
catch the other fellow’s point of
view.
A great German mathematician
bad carved on his tombstone the
simple saying, “One must turn
things around." The capacity to
look at the problem from the
other man's point of view is per-
haps the nv>“i needed quality in
the world today.
Tolerance need not make us
wishy-washy. As a matter of fact
any person who is used to carry-
ing responsibility year after year,
will never be wishy-washy.
All of this means merely that
we need now a widespread edu-
cational program in certain char-
acter fundamentals—those char-
acter fundamentals which will
cause us to become mature in an
individual, in a group and in a
national sense.
After every war there is a wide-
spread tendency to revert to child-
ish habits. A certain amount of
this kind of thing may be for-
giveable in the first few months
after a great war. In its ex-
treme form it is found in the
excuses of the peacetime cele-
bration of the Day of Armistice.
It is time now to put away these
excesses which are characteristic
of childhood.
This education cannot come too
soon if we are to save those Am-
erican values which we want most
today as we confront the possi-
bility of the biggest boom and the
most serious bust this nation has
ever seen.
Children's Clinic Successful
Falfurrias:—A pre-school clinic
conducted by the Brooks County
Home Demonstration Clubs was
highly successful, when 59 chil-
dren were examined. Several
youngsters were found to need
medical attention and a large
number received diptheria im-
munization. Local doctors, nurses
and health workers cooperated.
ON GROWING UP
Bank Gives A Barbecue
Martindale:—-When a bank gives a
free barbecue and invites 2,000
farmers as its guests, it’s news.
The Second National Bank of
Houston, together with four major
railroads is putting on this feed in
connection with a meeting which
it is sponsoring here to discuss the
need for stopping the terrific losses
caused by soil erosion. Local
banks in San Marcos, Lockhart,
Sequini Blanco, New Braunfels,
and Kyle are cooperating.
Rural Delivery Anniversary
October 1 markes the fiftieth
anniversary of the establishment
of the Rural Delivery Service, one
of the greatest services the Fed-
eral Government has ever render-
ed to people living in rural areas.
On October l, 1896, the first
I routes were established in West
' Virginia; and in the space of fifty
years, the service has expanded
so that now there are over 32,000
routes, serving nearly 30,000,000
people, or - little less than one-
quarter of the population of the
United States.
These figures indicate the
growth of the Rural Delivery
Service:
Year: No. of Routes: Milage:
Total Service Cost:
1897, 82, 1,843, $14,840.00.
1907, 37,728, 899,249, $26,661,
Improvement Programs Continue
Pecos:—$750,000 in new high-
way and irrigation projects are
believed to have been far enough
along not to be affected by the
‘‘freeze order” of Reconversion
Director Steelman, intended to re-
strict Federal expenditures dur-
ing the next two years. Contract
for extension of the Reeves Coun-
ty Water Improvement District
had already been let by the U. S.
Bureau of Reclamation. The high-
way jobs are in the advanced
planning stage.
By Hon. Henry A Wallace
Secretary of Commerce
Miss Taylor has asked me what
I think is the greatest need of
the country today. I replied:
“.Our greatest need is to grow up."
She then asked: “What do you
mean by growing up?"
Wherefore this short statement
on maturity.
A mature person is one who
can carry responsibility not mere-
ly today or tomorrow, nor next
week nor next month, but month
after month and year after year.
But along with this sense of ever-
lasting responsibility must go a
sense of forebearance, of toler-
ance.
My father in speaking of cer-
tain farm leaders used to say,
“They are the good old wheel
horses’’. In other words they car-
ried responsibility year after year.
They knew the common objec-
tive. Nobody needed to tell them
what to do. When young, they
had early learned what field ought
to be ploughed and when. They
carried this responsibility straight
through the season and so
young men they came to be look-
ed upon as mature people and af-
ter they become farm owners the
community placed responsibility
on them.
Today as regional, group and
national conflicts multiply, we
discover it is not sufficient merely
