HITLER AND LINCOLN

If only Hitler were such man as
was Lincoln" exclaims a speaker who still
clings to the discredited idea of inter
nationalism as basis of permanent world
peace. The idea of contrasting these two
leaders seems perfectly natural to the
average citizen of the United States. It
is thoroughly nationalistic sentiment. We
think Lincoln was the greater, but millions
of Germans think Hitler the greater,
Historians have given us our facts
about Lincoln; current historians news
papermen) are giving US cur facts about
Hitler. 1t may be difficult to determine
a thousand years from now which was the
more maligned and hated during his life
time or which is the more revered by his
own posterity. Possibly both will be re-
membered by the impartial observer as
0ne-tifne Saviors of their respective nations
the preservers of two separate ma
ti0nalisms, if you please. Which ever has
accomplished his aim with the least blood
shed may or may not be called greatest.
Contemptious comparisons Of our own
nation or its leaders with other nations and
their leaders are the very seeds of s.the
next war;" We should endeavor. and
should teach our children to endeavor to
understand and sympathize with the racial.
cultural and political ideals of other coun-
tries, remembering that fifty ,srniilion
Frenchmen can't be wrong''- ANY more
than can the same number of Germans, or
Italians, or Russians, or Japanese. Theirs
is theirs and ours, is ours, and the differ
ence between the ours is ours, and the diff
ference between the two viewpoints should
ever be kept in mind
1t may help us to be bit more tolerant
if we but remember that our own is not
perfect. Not even our martyred leaders
were perfect, except as our historians have
clothed them with perfection.
History is bunk said Henry Ford
Commenting on this statement H. G.
Wells, the English historian says:
Neither British nor American school
history has ever been bunk-free = =

to be near the facts, it is very doubtful

WHEN THE SLIP GETS BY

The typographical error is slippery

You can hunt till you are dizzy, but it

stirs or peeps, sss - ssssl
That typographical error too smallnsfor

grabs his hair and groans;
The copy reader drops his head upon his

as clean can be.
But that typographical error is the only
thing you see.

According to President Roosevelt's

nearly 80 billions by 1885. Ten billions
must be borrowed by the government be-
