Morocco A Temptation
(san Francisco Chronicle)

(San Francisco Chronicle)
 Fears expressed in London lest Hitler and Mussolini grab off Spanish Morocco while Spain is too distracted to defend it and the other nations too afraid of each other to do anything about it.
 After all-why not? Italy and Germany whether together separately are physically capable of talk ing possession of this part of Africa provided else nterferes, and they have far shown them selves able to bluff everybody else out of interfering with them There is objection to their stealing this territory except that it does not belong to them There is nothing wrong with doing it except theft lying lawlessness dishonor and the breaking of promises And Hitler and Mussolni have both main taned by force, the principle that these things not wrong when they do them. They recognize no standard but force and they have that force long they have the will to it, and all others lack the will to use force to stop them.

Napoleon went back to his Waterloo. The Repub lcans went back to Douglas last night They the audience cheer the picture of President Roosevelt when it flashed the screen of the Douglas Coliseum Theatre, just the great French general the tide of victory turn to Wellington at Waterloo
 It was momentous occasion for Republican friends they gathered again in the city where that old veteran Andrew Nerland of Fairbanks at the spring G. o. P convention had called attention to the Arch of Harmony" at the city's portal There was arch last night Nothing said about har- mony The occupants of the Douglas theatre cheered uproariousy for that gallant leader-Franklin Delano Roosevelt
 After the motion picture which flashed the the pictures of the Presidents from Washington to Franklin Roosevelt who claimed all the applause, of the distinguished Republican orators attempt ed to again kinde the spark of enthusiasm with fiery attacks the New Deal They chanted in loud and sonorous voices, but the residents of Douglas had given their all of applause-given it. with honest fer vor, for that President under whose Administration they had witnessed fine bridge connect their Island with the mainland and make them of the thriving, up-and coming cities of Southeast Alaska.
 Why don't that guy sit down and give another picture loudly whispered one member of the audi ence. He isn't saying anything anyhow The candi- date burst into and louder flow of political tory The person who had suggested another Roose- velt-cheered picture reached for his hat He had to get sleep he could get work in the morning He hadn't been idle since the Roosevelt recovery pro- gram set in and he didn't want to be- by being late to work
 One of the children (you know you just can't keep the kiddes away from free movie, and conse- quenty they filled practically all of the seats that were filled) heard, followed by good natured chuckles all around in of those childish whispers that could be heard 20 seats away, to say:
 Mama which is MT. Dmond?"

Lady Godiva Again
lCincinnati Enouirerl


 Lady Godiva, were she to ride along the Seashore at any of the popular bathing beaches would hardly make eyelid quiver Indeed, the horse would cause attention than the lady Of the two that would be the strangest sight
 The church may thunder and the moralists may preach, but little good it does. It is the style for now. when they swim or engage in other forms of athletic exercise, to shed every ounce of clothing that is possible. Not only that, but to go the limit and what remains that it stcketh closer than brother.
 But if the modern girl thinks she has discovered something she is badly mistaken. All she has done is to revive the fashions prevalent in Greece and Rome. When the Spartan maiden races with the boys she, too, they did stripped to the buff. In the Roman baths where men and women mingled there bathing suits very large part of the ancient world used clothes only for warmth the idea of modesty did not enter into their minds.
 So history is repeating itself. The modern girl at the seashore elsewhere, when she goes in for bathing tennis, has, happily not the slightest idea of prudishness. She would not recognize the word even if it were printed in capital letters Perhaps an atavstic streak has cropped out in her, throwback to the times centuries ago when the beauty of the fe male form not concealed.

A Dubious Ally
(Hartford Courant)

tHart1ord COurant)
 Certainly the Republicans cannot rest too many hopes that they will benefit from such campaign of hatred Father Coughin appears to have embarked upon. Although MT. Landon may justifably count upon considerable support from persons who are motivated in the present campaign primarily by dislike Of the New Deal, the chances great that if he has not already done SO Father Coughlin will overeach himself with the result that every speech that he makes will win rather than lose votes for the President. Vilificaton is apt to prove boome- rang, and the angry words that Father Coughn is now uttering may long before November hurt him more than the one at whom they are directed Such is particularly likely to be the case when the utter ance appears to spring from personal grievance or a personal disappointment.
