ONLY AS A RELIC Were the Germans to send sub marines up the St. Lawrence and they were to open fire on Canadian towns, that would be, according to the president’s recent declaration, sufficent cause for the United States to join the Canadians in resisting the invasion. The Canadians at this time are at war with the Germans, and, we suppose, that some of them are invading Germany. Hence, were the Germans to in vade Canada, they would have a right to assume that they would meet with AUTUMN FOLIAGE ON SKYLINE the same resistance from the United DRIVE NOW AT HEIGHT Richrpond, Va., Oct. 9.—Shenan doah-national park officials have noti fied the Virginia State Chamber of Commerce that the autumn foliage on Skyline Drive extending from near Fort Royal to near Waynesboro on the crest of the Blue Ridge moun tains thru the park, will be at its height from October 12 to 22.

SPENDING CUT (Continued from page one) cause we hope to reap a fortune out of the bigness of the corporation or wealth of an individual . ( . . . Very decidedly the punitive damage is hurtful to us and should be correct ed ... . “What has happened is that too often we have yielded to demagogues and clamorous advocates of social expedients instead of telling the peo ple the whole truth. Oftentimes the issue is beclouded by the arrogation of such superior motives on the part of social experimenters that the av erage executive, not being an orator, finds himself classed as a mere mo ney-taker . . . We must clear the path of all the barriers which preju dice, ignorance, and mistakes have devised even to compete on equal ground.
