no Fido who has written . punitive
treaty, no Towser who has violated an
accepted covenant Neither is there any
evidence Of canine aviators bombing un-
defended cities nor canine engineers
spraying civilian populations with poison
gas. In many countries dogs labor for
their living, yet they never have pro-
duced Karl Marx nor preached sabo-
tage to the injury Of employers" more
frequently than not as much enslaved
as themselves.
The canine genus also is we'll hammered
in prosperity. 1t is difficult to imagine
a dog deliberately destroying food in the
interest of an intended scarcity. Not
even an inexperienced puppy is lacking
in the instinct to bury bone for future
reference in the event Of depression.
A similar trait protects Muggins from
adventurous alteration of his standards
Of caution In his human relations. He
does not trust strangers simply because
they are plausible in speech nor does he
desert his friends merely because they
have been chary of promising too much.
The average Bruno or Pat. Terry or Tige,
Pimpkins or Spot Is endowed with wit
sufficient to be skeptical about heavens
unmerited. Dogs, in brief, are realistic
In the best meaning of the word. They
do not deceive themselves, they do not
know how to deceive others.

Storm Relief.

President Roosevelt has ordered the
Army. Navy, Coast Guard, Civilian Con-
servation Corps and Works Progress
Administration to cooperate for the
relief of the stricken people of New
England. But Wednesdays storm so
cruelty devastated large areas OF Rhode
Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New
Hampshire and New York that Govern
ment help alone will not suffice to meet
the need. Volunteer assistance is wanted
from all citizens whose hearts have been
touched by the tragic story of the havoc
wrought by wind and wave.
The emergency is particularly compel
ling because 1t follows upon misfortunes
dating back to the beginning of the
depression. New England, as everybody
knows. is predominantly a manufacture
ing center. For that reason, it felt the
effects of the slump early and drastically,
Hundreds of little towns, each dependent
upon single industry, were hard hit by
the decline in consumer demand for
textiles shoes, such luxuries as TOYS.
silverware, clocks, etc. Their troubles
were multiplied by bank failures, labor
strife, political conflict, the influence of
reciprocal trade treaties with foreign
governments and of reform legislation,
and many other conditions, some of re-
cent origin, others of long standing
character.
Larger communities probably will be
competent to rescue themselves, but for
the villages and small towns a practical
sympathy should be manifested imme-
diately. The whole Nation suffers when
any OF its component parts is hurt. With
that impressive thought in mind, The
Star appeals to it's readers to send such
money as they generously can spare for

for visas. If one had applied this month
to the consulate at Stuttgart for a visa,
with son in New York who has already

born relatives. with affldavits of support,

in the cost Of supporting one or more in

Educe Comment.
The the Editor Of The Star:
YOUR admirable editorials While
Rome Burns" (September 100 and
"A Bill Of Wrongs" (September 20) have
made me think various things.
1. In the first article you quoted from
Mr. Tom Clarke of London. wonder how
he and Mr.. Anthony Eden feel now. 1t is
pitiful to see Britain sink so low. She and
France have let those two dictators bully
and bluff them till their humiliation has
sunk almost, if not quite, to the point Of
degradation in the eyes Of lovers Of lib
erty and to the point OF utter contempt
in the opinion of the dictators.
In Macaulays Life Of Give" he quotes
the following from a letter Of Give:
ALAS, how is the British name sunk!
I could not avoid paying the tribute Of
a few tears to the departed and lost fame
OF the British Internationally SO,
fear"
q Little Czechoslovakia seems doomed
to dismemberment. as Poland was when
Prussia, Russia and Austria descended
upon her. Doomed, unless He that sitteth
in the heavens is laughing at her betray-
ers and at her formidable enemy shall in
some way enable little David to conquer
the giant Goliath. Otherwise there seems
to be in store for her either a brave but
hopeless struggle, as was the case with
Poland, or else heart breaking surren-
der, being thrown to the wolves by those
in whose good faith she had vainly
trusted.
3. That last word, trusted" reminds
me of another passage in "The Life of
Give During q long course Of years
the English rulers Of India, surrounded
by allies and enemies whom no engage
ments could bind. have generally acted
with sincerity and uprightness; and the
event has proved that sincerity and up
rightness are wisdom The great
est advantage which a government can
possess is to be the one trustworthy gov
eminent in the midst Of governments
which nobody can trust" The scrap OF
paper" principle had not been officially
declared when Macaulay wrote that.
4. In case Czechoslovakia Is over
whelmed. what of all the other small
states out there? And then what of the
small states near home-Switzerland, the
Netherlands and Denmark? And then
France! Didn't Daladier know that by
keeping the pledge to Czechoslovakia and
then insisting that England should keep
her pledge to France, he was really fight
ing for the future integrity of his own
country? And with France gone, what
chance has England, who persuaded
Daladier to cringe to Hitler?

"Once upon a time"
Stories whimsical or tragic,
Told in prose or rhyme,
Move to wondering admiration
And we long to know
More Of some great man or nation

But we, too, shall shine in glory

Mrs. Annie circuit cast the only vote
in Democratic primary in the town Of

The World War Day by Day

The only advance Of any great I'M
portance on the western front was the
capture by the French Of Vendeuil on
the Disc. This resulted in giving them
large frontage on that river and
choice of jumping-off places from which
to resume the attack.
In Macedonia, Italian troops gained
Z miles and took 16 villages. British and
Greek aviators bombarded Constanti-
nople. London reported total Of $4,000
Turkish prisoners and $50 guns taken
in the northward advance through

open to the enemy west Of the Jordan
