Take the question of Prohibi-
tion versus Moderation. Even
today, after Prohibition’s dis-
mal failure, you can hear well-
meaning people say: “There
ought to be another law."
From where I sit, there ought
to be, instead, more facing of the
. facts—more realization that no
law can. ever take the place of
tolerance and moderation. and
decent law enforcement under
proper regulation.

Miss Ella Sproule is a town
legend. Never could get used to
automobiles. Said there ought
to be a law to ban the pesky
things.
Finally, Miss Ella went to Ber-
muda Where automobiles were
outlawed. Then the Allies need
bases there—and now Miss Ella
watches jeeps whiz by. and mut-
ters, “There ought to be a law!”
Funny how certain folks, who
don’t like something, think it
ought to be prohibited. Or else
they try to run away from it,
and it catches up with them—
like Progress will.

A neglected campfire, a still-

sound out the Allies as to peace
terms, which at this time are
limited to “unconditional surren-

recent presidential trip but side-
stepped the political implications
of the trip at this time.
Mr. Bishop touched briefly on
the presence of Churchill and our

war benefits.
Explaining Argentina's “bad
boy" actions it was pointed out
that Britain had sent much cash
las well as goods to gain the trade I
of that country in the past, and
cash talks for the future rather
than the “Good Neighbor" pol-
icy, and also German leaders are
sending much cash to Argentine
in the hope of a future safe har-
bor when the crash comes.
Finally, the speaker touched on
the recent world monetary con-
ference in which all the nations
are plotting in this country and
secret agreements are being made
which are kept from our citizens
who must later pay the bills and
support the world’s monetary
standing; and the English sterl-
ing is already crawling up to the
American dollar, in spite of the
fact that both England and Am-
erica are bearing a heavy bur-
den of debt.
