A TALE OF THE SEA

Sailors yarns are generally amusing
and interesting, even if many of them are
not gospel truth, We just ran across an
old one from the log of Henry Hudson's
ship when that famed explorer was trying
to find the long-sought northwest pass
age to China" in 1903 For vivid imagi-
nation. il is hard to beat
1t tells of sighting mermaid, in
the following record, dated June Is, in
latitude rs degrees minutes north:
Zone of our company looking over
board saw mermaid and. calling up some
of the company tn see her, one more came
up and BY that time she was close to the
ships side. looking earnestly on the men, A
little after sea came up and overturned
her; from the waste upwards her back
and breasts were lyke woman's, her body
being as big as one of us: her skin very
whyte. and her hair hanging down being
of colour blaeke; in her going downe. they
saw her tayle. which was lyke the tayle
of porposse and speckled lyke marcrell.
Their names that saw her were Thomas
Hitler and Robert Rayner.''
Like many other myths and supersti-
titions this yarn was for long time be-
lieyed by housands Stories equally foolish
are believed to this day.

PATRIOTISM IN GERMANY

In commenting on the rise of Chan
cellor Hitler in Germany, we have pointed
out that the success of the German lead
er was not due so much to his personality
or ideas, as to the birth of spirit of pa
triotism in the average German heart
which sees in a union of the German peo-
pie under the leadership of the Chancel-
perity and national happiness.
National solidarity is essential to the
revival of the fortunes of any nation i'm
poverished by the tremendous losses caus-
ed by wars Only by united effort can
any nation recover it's position in the COM
mercial life Of the world
Italy under Mussolini has been a shin
ing example. The French people manag-
ed'to compass their recovery under united
national effort that was unique in the fact
that it was accomplished without leader
ship, but because of a national cohesion
which had been created by the suffering
OF the nation during the world war.
Our own country is today engaged
in the same effort under the leadership of
President Roosevelt.
Germany is thinking today in terms
of German unity and German patriotism
She accepts HitlerNs the leader and grants
him the power of control of her destinies
because he offers to the German people
what the Germans want If Herr Hitler
at any time should make the mistake of
placing his personal or PARTISAN interests
above the German national interest, the
Hitler regime will suddenly come to an
end
