Particularly significant is the Secretary's
warning that U.boat raids upon American

Allied war departments commcnds this
theory. but every fact in the European
strategic and political situation sustains 1t.

CRITICISM OF PENNYPACKER

To the Editor Of the EveninD Public Ledger:
Sir--Would II not have been better for all
concerned IL Samuel W. Pennypacker had
been moved by the large nobility of spirit
that marked Morley when he began his auto"
biography? And in view Of the kind of thing
that Pennypacl<erism stands for, is it not
refreshing to read in the Morley preface this
splendid attitude toward those men and the
things he intended to deal with in his book?
For writes Morley:
From the point OF egotsm, again, be sure
that complacency and self-content are
lucky II amid things vanished. ''in that
other world We call the past" they do not
stumble on plenty OF material for self
surprise and self-reproof, and awake to
the discovery that fair names of states
man, thinker. writer were only courtesy
titles after all without real rank or claim
to wider vogue attention. Much OF my
ground obviously involves others deeply
should regret it IL a single page were
found unfair or likely to wound just SEN
sibilities More deeply still should ! de-
plore II IL a single page or phrase or pass
ing mood OF mine We're either to dim the
lamp of loyalty to reason or to dishanten
earnest and persistent zeal for wise politics
in younger readers with their lives still
before them.
Apply this as test to the Pennypacker
biography and Immediately the thing that
the famous Quay.made Governor sets out
to do becomes grotesquely obvious Pursuing
the opposite tactics to those of Morley. Pen
nypackor deliberately seeks to make himself
great by despislng everybody else. Even
the copybook tells us that "self.praisc is no
recommendation" And while one cannot but
admire the journalistic enterprise that secured
this garret gossip, this village chrcnicle. Il ia
already plain that no one will ever 20 to
the late volumes either for political wisdom
or for a reasonable light on affairs In fact,
a. poiitical tgure. the autobiography hoists
its sclf-made hero on every mage with ,t.
bombs or his own making. OF course Pen.
nypaeker couldn't be a Morley but he might
have initiated his sense of decency, propriery'
nagnanimty and reticence
