Channel Crossing.

If the American tourist will inquire for
the place, he will be shown the spot in
Cherbourg where Napoleon stood looking
out over the English Channel and hoping
for a breeze to move his fleet in the
direction of the projected conquest Of
Britain upon which he had set his heart.
Such, in any event, is the legend of the
Little corsicans monument on the hill
above the Divette. The townfolk gladly
explain that it was the first Bonaparte

"COlOnies-Or Else."

Rudolf Hess, deputy Nazi party leader,
seizes upon current German controversy
over mark devaluation to indicate afresh
that the Reich Is determined to gain its
objective of colonies capable Of supplying
raw materials and foodstuffs. Germany
will not stoop, Herr Hess thundered, to
frauds of devaluation or imitation" II
necessary, she will continue to tighten
her belt and eat less, in conformity with
the slogan Cannon instead Of butter"
The pronouncement turns graphic light
on the opposing Nad schools OF thought
regarding currency depreciation. One
group headed by Reichsbank President
Schacht, would break the devaluation
ring forming around Germany by joining
it. A rival faction favors retirement into
more or less splendid isolation, whatever
the consequences. That is an internal
decision for the Germans to make.
OF international moment is Herr Hess
disclosure that the Hitler four year plan
of economic self-suficiency, promulgated
at Nuremberg, Is to be carried through,
come what may. The deputy leader
virtually threatened that if other nations
refuse to turn over raw material col
onies" to Germany, she might be COM
PEELED to demoralize world markets by
selling abroad at dumping" prices, thus
seriously damaging competing exporting
countries. The avowed purpose would
be to acquire foreign credits necessary
to purchase raw materials for German
industry and living necessities for the
people. Such credits are not obtainable
at present without certain political and
military concessions, which the Hitler
regime is not prepared to make. Hess
emphasizes that there will be no "capitu-
lation' to the threat of economic starva-
ton" He warns all concerned that
Just as such war" against the Ger
mans has failed, they will prove equally
invulnerable against attempts to over
power them by force of arms-"such as
a march of Soviet Russian militarism,
for example"
1t becomes increasingly palmer that
the German government is ready to
sacrifice all and sundry to the develop
ment of its war machine. Herr Hess
bIuntly confesses that money saved on
foreign exchange for purchase Of food
SHIFTS "poeS tn benefit ollr armaments I"
Hence, the battle cry that cannon" is
preferable to butter" Such frankly
proclaimed doctrine can only cause Ger
manys neighbors to shudder with fear
that if the Nazis cannot get what they
need in the peaceful course of economic
events, they will sally forth in their
mighty armor some day to take what
they want-such things as the grain OF
the Ukraine, the minerals Of the Urals
or the timber riches of Siberia, as Der
Fuehrer recently suggested, when he
caused German mouths to water in con-
temptation of Reich which, possessed
of such wealth beyond its eastern bor-
ders, would swim in plenty" BY acci.
dent or design. the give us colonies
or else" program is sprung upon Europe
at the very moment Germany is object
ing to an Anglo-Soviet pact granting
naval concessions to Russia within the
1896 Anglo-Franco-American qualitative
limitation treaty.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton

Changeful Eyes.
How wonderful they are-enchanting
Where bright daylight and dusky
shadow vies.
Within their depths the charm Of the
twilight,
The Joy of day and sorrow Of the night.
Deep wells of love offset by cool disdain.
Tragic as storm and sweet as Summer
rain.
They hold q quality hard to forget,
Anticipation mingled with regret.
Great power for good or Ill within them
lies. -.
God help the owner Of such witchins
eyes!

Shooting Stars.

The Ship.
We are looking for the rainbow that
is hid behind the storm.
When this hurricane is ended we will
help the world reform.
Youth smiles with shining eyes and
wisdom has furrowed brow;
The ship sails on-but everybody wants
to show it how.
One calls for heroism in a hard remorse-
less fray,
Another seeks philosophy with intellec-
tual sway
While prayers ascend In reverence to
consecrate a VOW
Earth must improve. since everybody
wants to show 1t how.
When fervent motives clash with purpose
confident and high
We know that calm must yet reveal the
rainbow in the sky.
We know the ship of state will ride with
jewel-glistening prov
And all we sailors need is some one who
can show it howl

HOW TO BREAK
STRIKE TOLD

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Dec. 3
IN.SO. - 1.-THE most effective
method Of breaking a strike is to
threaten to move the factory from
town." Capt. N. S. Crying Nat"
Shaw testified yesterday at the
National Labor Relations Board
hearing on the strike at the Mid
dletown plant of Remington Rand,
Inc.
Shaw, Labor Board counsel
charged, had attempted to bribe
union officials to break the strike.
He admitted he was hired by
James H. Rand, jr., to "investi-
gate radical conditions" at the
plant.
This threat brings immediate
sympathy from the public and
local officials, he said. Strike
breaking agencies used political
influence to aid in breaking a
strike, he added in response to
Trial Examiner Charles A. Woods
request to explain the technique
of strikebreaking. He testified:
"SOme agencies have prOpa-
ganda machines. They send
men to strike areas to start
rumOrS and provoke trouble, and
then the company gets an in
junction. Once an injunction
is obtained plants are sure to
get police protection and private
guards are not needed"

URGED
FOR MILITARY
HIGHWAYS

INGTON COURTHOUSE,
Va, Dec. 3.-Military Road and
its extension up by the Arlington
Cemetery and that portion of the
Federal Road from the Lincoln
Memorial Bridge approach to Mill
tary Road can be repaired and
made safe for travel at a cost Of
between $4,000 and $4,000, &C.
cording to an estimate submitted
to Representative Howard W..
Smith by Frank Hanrahan, county
manager of Arlington county, it
was revealed here today.
Declaring the road is in such a
deplorable condition that use of
it would be extremely unsafe un-
less repaired before the winter
weather further wrecks it, Mr..
Hanrahan said that the matter
should be looked upon as an emer-
gency measure and by all means
repaired before severe winter
weather completely ruins the base
of the roads.
Total mileage involved in the
portions that have been termed
by a half dozen organizations as
death traps is approximately five
miles and could be repaired in a
comparatively short time, once
the funds became available and
the work got under way, it was
added.
The estimate supplied Represen-
tatiVe Smith by Mr.. Hanrahan is
being used by Mr.. Smith in his ef-
forts to secure funds from the
Public Works Administration to
repair the roads, all of which are
Federal property.
Assisting Mr.. Smith in his ef-
forts, it was reported, is Secretary
of War Harry Woodring, who is
anxious that the road be repaired,
but says that no money has been
allowed the War Department for
the project.
Another organization that pub
licized the hazardous conditions
of the road and urged Secretary
Woodring to take the necessary
steps to repair the roads is the
American Automobile Association.
which in a public statement re-
Gently appearing il The Washing
ton Times stated that "scores of
complaints" have been received at
their washington Office, asking
that the conditions be corrected.
Once the road is repaired and
put in fair shape, it is expected
that Arlington county officials
will renew their efforts to have
the roads decided to the county in
order that they may be properly
maintained at all times.

board is determined to proceed

The board already have certi-
fled 1,150 railroad workers, who
have retired, for annuities and
they are receiving up to $120 a
month from the Federal Treasury.
Meanwhile, the Internal Reve-

A total of $1,000 railroad work
ers are eligible for retirement

One of the objects of the law
was to bring about unemployment
in the industry through replace.

 T remember someone who be- longed to me once and she wasn't above appropriating him." Linda said that before she meant to.
 Tn HoIlywood?" Cora asked.
 'No," Linda answered briefly.
 "Just what I thought You've been out here Q couple of years and haven't heard about . single romance, Linda. Is 1t this someone back east?"
 "It isn't anybody at all. No roc mances. All work" Linda wanted Cora to get her mind of the sub- feet. Cora was Hollywoodite and she could use any information her- self. Not that Linda had any to give her. There had been no romance in her life, unless she counted Pete, and after so many months that was 50 remote that Linda forgot most of the things she thought she would always remember about him. She thought of him now, and missed him suddenly. Not because he was Pete, but because she was girl and she had no one to love. Work, friends, parties, adulation never made up for the lack of love in any girls life and, for the first time, Linda was beginning to realize 1t.
 And then she met Basil Thorne.

 Maybe you'll like him, and may be you won't. Most women do, Cora, speaking of Thorne, said Lin- da. Tt would be hard to describe him. I don't know whether he is Q cad or a gentleman. I don't even know whether he is ugly or hand- some. He's that kind. Most women are crazy about him, but maybe it's just Hollywood. He is having cycle of blondS now"
 Cycle of blonds?" Linda asked.
 "Yes. When he first came 1t was the Dietrich type. Then he went in for gamins. Then he took the so- phisticated ladies in his stride, 50 to speak, but now its blondS. Must l say nore?"
