Line," the latest production of the
National tuberculosis association was
shown at the Camden high school
and the Fine Tree high schools, on
Thursday, April 13, by L. VV. Riley,
from the extension service ol Clemson

Is being accomplished in many sections
of the United States toward the
discovery of cases of tuberculosis early
enough to be reasonably sure the
patient has a good chance to get well.
The pitiable condition of the far-advanced
case of the indigent type is
vividly shown and the danger of the
far-advanced case to children and
young people Is stressed. Scenes on
the travel-tour are beautiful
The picture was shown as part of
the early diagnosis campaign that is
being carried on by the Kershaw
county tuberculosis association with
Mrs. Wiley Sheorn as chairman.
On Tuesday of this week the tuberculin
test was given to Camden high
school students as a means of locat-i
ing those who have been unfortunate
enough to be exposed to a case of
t tuberculosis X-ray clinics will be
I arranged for those having a positive
reaction to the test.
' The annual meeting of the tuberculosis
association was held Wednesday
afternoon at 3: 3o o'clock, with Harold
runueiuuik, ^resident.

"You can lose your citizenship

Mrs. Bergdoll was reticent about

A* a>v.r.*1 April 14 ? Preslden
(vHU.V pledged the (ulW'Mt
v *vuU < > of "(orco' Hlld "economic
?uppori" of the l ulled States In main
v.nm#; (he sovereign freedom of any
a:ut all nations In the Westeru Hem.sphere
lVllvered before the governing
board of the Pan American Union,
Mr Roosevelt's words were broadeast
by short-wave radio not only to
South and Central America, but to
Europe.
Drawing a contrast between the cooperative
and peaceful diplomacy of
this hemisphere and that of Europe,
the President embodied his real message
In these two paragraphs :
"The American peace which we
celebrate today has no quality of weakness
In It. We are prepared to maintain
It, and to defend it to the fullest
extent of our strength, matching force
to force If any attempt is made to
subvert our Institutions, or to Impair
the independence of any of our group.
"Should the method of attack be
that of economic pressure, 1 pledge
that my own country will also give
economic support, so that no American
nation need surrender any fraotion
of its sovereign freedoms to
maintain its economic welfare. This
is the spirit and intent of the Declaration
of Lima; the soliddarity of the
continent."
This latest utterance of the President
on the Nation's foreign policy
and the administration's frame of
mind took on added interest here as
both House and Senate continued discussion
over neutrality legislation.
Yesterday's developments were marked
by a flare of criticism of the administration
for its expressed opinions
on European developments.
The people of the United States
will undoubtedly go to war if they
want to and overwhelmingly resolve
to; but we have no desire to be
stampeded or to be carried into runious
and irrevocable decisions by hysteria.
We do not want to be fodder
for propaganda.
Much has been heard these last few
months about the building of our national
defenses. Just what has been
accomplished and approved by the
many measures and proposals may
not be clear to many. Here is how
our army, navy and air force will
stand as a result- of the national defense
legislation:
Our Navy will match the British
Navy and outstrip any third navy
afloat.
Nino thousand planes, which should ^
be sufficient number to repel any attack
on the Western Hemisphere, \
will make up our air force.
Our Army will consist of about 220,000
men, plus the enlarged National
Guard forming an "Initial Protective
Force" of 450,000.
Ten to twelve thousand factorlei
are geared to turn out 12,000 plane* j
a year plus arms, ammunitions and \
equipment to equip a million-man defense
Army.'
Wo will have more naval and air
bases and increased stocks of raw
materials.
A trained reservoir of civilian pll- J
ots will be maintained with 20,00(1
additional pilots being added each |
year. :|
All of this is taking place with on*25
object in view?that no war will ever
be fought on the American mainland. \
Providence grant that this may be i
true.
The House Judiciary committee
asked Congress to plug holea to totml- ]
gration laws which permitted W>
aliens who had been ordered deported
last year to remain in this country.
It approved a bill by Congressman
Hobbs, Democrat, of Alabama, to pro- !
Vide for "detention" of aliens in con- ''
centration camps whom the Labor Department
ordered to leave the country,
but who failed to depart becauao
their governments would not grant;
passports.
