Spain Never Had Bonafide P # formation leading to the arrest of the hit-and-run driver who was re- sponsible for the death of an aged Bellerose Manor man last Wednesday, The Review-Star hopes to spur the police in their search for one of the most detestable types of criminals. Public security demands and com- mon decency dictates that anyone who is unfortunate enough to injure | another while driving an automobile stop on the spot and render first aid if possible. If the victim's injuries are so grave first aid cannot be given the driver is required by law to make his report to the police. Failure to d this suggests the driver may be using «#\stolen automobile, may already be a fugitive from the police on some other charge or else is so calloused and inhuman he is not responsible enough to be permitted to enjoy the privilege of an operator's license. There is a special reason why traffic regulation should 'be par- ticularly strict this Summer. It is taken for granted thodsands of World's Fair visitors from all parts ©£ the country will come to Nassau County. It is desirable to keep the roads safe for these visitors and also safe from them, if a minority are disposed to ignore local laws. The population of Nassau County wants to be hospitable, but under no circum- stances can it tolerate flagrant irre- sponsibility on the part of motorists who make conditions unsafe for the people. The Review-Star has had a part in the past in speeding the arrest of hit- and-run killers and will consistently do all within its power to apprehend and convict those who are guilty of such heinous crimes. We urge the public to aid Commissioner Skid- more's men in the search for this murderer. Marking the Town Channels OME of the boat owners of the South Shore 'report that the channels in the various town waters could be more ade- quately marked. There are good channels off the regular main-traveled routes which veteran baymen know like a book, but which the average pleasure boat owner can- not traverse without strong chances of get- ting hung on a sand bar. Supervisor Harold P. Herman, in re- sponse to an inquiry about this condition, the norm; but the NYSHA with its flexible vitality has made such departures again and again to good purpose and effect. No one thinks that for a whole day's session in the auditorium of the New York State building history would hold its own in com- petition of the manifold enticing splendors of the Fair. But it is thought that one hour can be devoted to history in such a place with dignity spiced a bit with nov» elty.\ The idea of holding one session of the convention at the fair must be credited to Dr. Hall. It is apparent from the relish with which Dr. Fox makes the announce» ment it was a happy thought. Judge Johnson on Hofstra Board l’l' IS pleasing to find the name of County Judge Cortland A. Johnson in the list of new trustees elected to the board of Hofstra College. * $ It is appropriate that the head of the County judiciary should be interested in a local institution of higher education which can make a splendid contribution to Long Island and Nassau County by training its youth for the finest type of citizenship. An important phase of Judge Johnson's work is the admihistration of the Children's Court where he sees the need for stronger home influences and the kind of influence education may exert in strengthening the mentality, morals and ideals of youth. It has undoubtedly made him a firm be- liever in education and a personal enthusiast for organizations and institutions that aid youth in adjusting itsef without becoming entangled in the toils of the law. Nassau County people are proud of their colleges, which mean enhanced opportuni for our boys and girls, They are distre if there are developments which thre to minimize their chance of serving delighted when they see men of Judge John- son's character and calibre willing to give their prestige and support to making them function to the best advantage.

The variety of suggestions as to how to do this, narrows down really to only two alternatives: one side believes the U. S. can keep peaceful by siding actively with Britain and France even if they go to war. This is the administration side. The other side wants to remain neutral This is the stand of the neutrality bloc, The main pending recommendation of the administration side is the Pittman res- olution proposing that the U. S. sell muni- tions and everything to all comers on a \cash-and-carry\ basis. No advocate of this proposal contends it is intended to be neutral, The intent is openly to help Brit- ain and France, who dominate the Atlantic tradeways and are the only ones who could take advantage of the policy. The \cash-and-carry\ plan would make the U. S. a munitions depot for Britain 'and France in case of war. No munitions depot has ever been kept out of a war. The min- ute that congress adopts the Pittman plan, it has practically made a blank declara- tion of -war with the date omitted to be. filled in by Britain and France whenever they decide to “rt. k .

If one looks past the mere persifiage of a vague gen- erality, one will find in that £1“ Constitution, and in the s quent Law of Religious Confes- sions and Congregations, clauses rohibiting Catholic education while making State education so- clalistic, clauses giving the State power to dissolve religious ortlers at will and supervise the training of ~priests, clauses making the Church dependent upon the State for permission .to hold services.

Democracy Only Sham Secondly, it would be obvious to anyone with even the slightest knowledge of recent Spanish his- tory that the Republic and democ- racy in Spain-were a mere sham in which no one believed, least of all the Leftists. In October, 1934, wher, three members of the Cath= olic Action Party were admitted to the cabinet, those who were later to pose as defenders of the Republic rose: in open revolt against the national government. According to Current History for December of that year, almost the whole Socialist party was ipvolved in that revolt, such \republicans\ as Largo Caballero 'and Indalecio Republicans Urged To Push State Sales Tax Program Editor, Nassau Daily Review-Star: *If the New York state bli- can party comes out of its 20-year Rip Van Winkle mg! and /¥otes the 2 per cent. state sales tax to pay for relief and relieve real estate it will be a political act that will -almost insure a progressive G.

To quote Current History: again, \Here (Catalonia) the revolt had a dual character. It was political, looking toward sep- aration and independence; and it was social and economic, looking toward the establishment of a so- cialistic republic after the fashion I challenge Mr. Sokolowsky to look carefully through the files of any newspaper or news magazine for the period of February-July, 1936, and tell me that Spain was ruled by a competent government. He will find a story of a country in anarchy, beset by. general strikes, church-burnings, and po- litical assassinations, and ruled by a government that either could not would not take steps to remedy the situation, I do not care how noble or how idealistic were the aspirations of that gov- ernment-it was not democratic, for it grossly favored one part of the citizenry over another; it was not legitimate, for it used electoral fraud as a means of power; it was not even a government, for it re- fused to act like a government. Finally, for I have already used too much space, Mr. Sokolowsky's attempts to prove that Catholics really do not support Franco are futile. Despite the Basques, the few discredited Spanish \ priests paraded about by Red groups, and those whom Maranon calls the ad- herents of \a literary and red Neo- Catholicism,\ it still remains true that the Pope, the bishops of all lands, and the vast bulk of Catho- lic laymen have openly approved Franco's battle against Com- munism, Anarchism and the Grand Orient. Whether we may support Mim in peace as we have in war remains to be seen. Only Franco. himself can determine that. ..Those who love Spain and her people more than any outward form of government will pray that he may worthy of the contin- ued respect and admiration of all right-thinking men.

We cannot always sting with excitement or eagerness, flame with delight, or even ache with despair. There are times when we must be empty-when life must be a closed room. Then what? Why, then-keep cool! Don't throw up your hands and decide that everything's over. Don't go around spreading bitterness and gloom. Nothing's wrong. Life hasn't stopped. You haven't failed.

Developing Better Citizens HILDREN at school must conform more or less to the present needs of the group, else they will come in conflict with the group or the teacher or both. There are relatively few opportunities at school to do wrong in *comparison with the almost countless opportunities outside of school- a fact many. school people overlook. No matter, therefore, how nearly ideal the conduct within the school group, there is no assurance that such will carry over out- side of school. Some of the best school citi- zens, indeed, are the worst in the home neighborhood, even in the family. Now I believe we ought to be able at school to make children better members of their family group and better citizens in their home neighborhood. To do so we must quit thinking of the school as a sepa- rate institution, smug and self-sufficient. The child who comes to school comes from a home. There he is tied to the heart strings of his loved ones; there lie the well-springs of his feelings, the major source and molding factor of his moral life. His basic ideals were pretty well es- tablished before he ever entered school, and while he attends school the home still is the chief influence in shaping his char- acter. # L ® Win Co-operation F SUCH is our belief, we teachers can do most in character education by tying up our school efforts more and more wits those of the home. Our first step is to win the home's co-operation-and we don't gain co-operation by commanding parents to give it. We must make them want to co- operate. It's a matter of good salesmanship. Once the parents of our school children feel that we teachers highly honor and re- spect the home, and that we strive to help children at school to respect that home and try to be worthy members, doing their share in the family, the parents will feel a strong enthusiasm for our efforts. Can't we teachers help make children want to take more responsibility for their self-care, and for helping with the duties about the home? Can't we do something at school to make them want to be more considerate of the rights of others in their family and in their neighbor-hoof? 20% Evaluates Sacrifices, BELIEVE it is possible at school to get over to children an appreciation of the sawrifices their parents have made for them and a desire in these children to make some self-sacrifices for their parents' sake. When problems of lying and theft arise at school, little can be done by the teacher, working single-handed, for the child's ref- ormation. As a rule, these types of conduct had their beginnings in the home, where most can be done for their correction.
