All In Due Time

It is about time an English
man replied to some Of these
comments about why England
did not fight for the Czechs.
Don't try to kid the public about
America fighting for England
and France in 1918. You peo-
pie fought to save your own
hides from the Kaiser.
AS for the two reigning inter-
national gangsters, England is
playing a deep game. Just you
wait until she is heavily enough
armed. Then the two Fascist
heels will be taken in hand.
What could England gain
by fighting a winning war now?
Shed have to take care Of about
80, 100000 beggarS afterward,
plus a lot of worthless Italian
colonies.
Don't kid yourselves about
fighting for England. Some day
you Americans will need US
British to help you against the

He's Not Convinced

Every once in a while, as in
The Times of october IL,
Beatrice Houdini announces the
futility of her efforts to get in
touch with the spirit Of Harry
and of her determination to give
up the quest.
Always failing to inform us
of her signed statement in the
presence Of witnesses Of Janu-
ary 8, 1929. that Fletcher, the
control of Arthur Ford, had re-
layed the prearranged message
through Mr.. Ford, as agreed
upon between her and Houdin1
when he was in the body.
Naturally, we are no more
our own master in the spirit
world than we are here. With
Houdini fighting the means OF
communications where his spirit
was attached to the body, it is
not logical to assume he would
have free access to that means
of communication.
I cannot agree with Mrs.
Houdini's contention that there
is nothing in spiritualism, for I
have received many authentic
messages from my own mother
and in October, 1929, in a Seance
in the city of Detroit, she ma
terialized for me in the presence
Of thirty-five witnesses, and
after our conversation was fin
ished she did not return to the
cabinet but faded away in front
of me just as Christ did in front
of his disciples.

Christian can deny the Jew his
right to live.
Catholics, themselves, insist
upon being heard in the courts
Of justice and right. The Jew
has the same privilege to plead
before the tribunals of the world
as a man and as a creature Of
God.
"Our Saviour sprang from the
Jewish nation. No Christian can
consistently deny His race the
essential rights Of man without
profaning Him who died for all,
Jew or Gentle, slave or free"
This, to me, was truly a beau
tiful example of brotherly love,
but at the same time places me
in a quandary. Persecution Is
not new in the Catholic church.
She has experienced and sur
vived it down through the ages.
In the more recent years at the
hands of Soviet Russia and Mex
ECO she has suffered outrages
equal to those Of the early Chris
tian Martyrs. Now Germany has
fallen in line, but I have yet to

were an exclusive lot, the an
cestors of the wild galloperS OF
today, the men and women Of
the Galway Blazers, a hunt
which passes up hedges and
gates for unbendable stone
walls. They were so much to
themselves, putting all others
beneath them, that a medieval
Pope forbade further intermar-
riage for a long period Of years
so that members Of the tribes
would remain big, strong and
healthy.
Galway prospered exceedingly
until it made the mistake
though a mistake covered with
glory-of siding with Charles
the First Of England against
the Parliament and Oliver Crom-
well. The lord protector took
care of the luckless monarch
and then in his own good time
turned his attention to ireland
and particularly to Galway.
What he did to it could best
be impressed on your mind by
remembering what the Germans
did to some beautiful French
cities-although these, only 20
odd years later-are as beauti-
full today as ever they were.
Cromwell destroyed Galway
almost 800 years ago. And it
is told that a German sub
marine appeared in Galway Bay
during the great war and the
captain gave thought to a bonn
bardment. He had one Of his
Juniors make a reconnaissance
and the youngster reported:
Apparently, sir, another Of
our submarines has already bonn
barded this city"
60, all in all, Galway, unlike
~ the rest Of Ireland, has not
been able to do much for the
new country in the way Of pour
ing its sons and daughters into
a new life stream. OF course,
that doesn't apply to the county
or to the rest of Connaught.
But the city Of Galway did give
us that dread expression:
"Lynching."
Toward the end Of the fiji
teenth century John Lynch
FitzStephen, mayor Of Galway.
made a business trip to Spain.
There he was laviShly enter
tanned by a rich merchant
whose son later came to Galway
as the mayors guest. The
Spaniard stole from FitzSte-
phen's son, Walter Lynch, the
girl he was engaged to marry. So
Lynch killed him and threw his
body into the sea. He was tried
and found guilty and his father,
the mayor, sentenced him to
death.
But young Lynch was so well
thought of that no man in all
Galway would e~ecute him. So
his own father hanged him in
sight of a mob which was seek
ing to rescue him. And so a
riotous execution came to be
called in Ireland "a lynching."

Voters Minds
Are Still Open


Ao ct;U Onon trict, is: Who is Mr.. Dewey
running against Governor
Lehman or Judge Poletti Democratic candidate for
lieutenant goverhor-Ed.) )-and is Governor Lehman
going to finish his term if elected or step down and
make way for Judge Poetti?'
This idea was no doubt suggested to Mr.. Barton by
the action of his candidate, Mr.. Dewey. Mr..
Dewey was elected by the voters last November for
fouryear term district attorney of New York county
Having served nine months of that term, he is now
asking the voters to let him step out of this job and
be governor.
Mr.. Barton went on to say at that same luncheon:
""The independent voters minds open on the gov
ernorship and the election is far from being de-
cided yet" Our minds open on it, too
At the moment we're leaning toward Lehman,
though we may change our minds before election day.
To repeat what we said few days ago, Dewey is
an honest and fearless prosecutor, and there is no
question but that he would give his best efforts to the
governorship if elected.
But Dewey's views social problems are still un-
known to the general publc-except that a few days
ago he did attack the administration though not the
principle, of unemployment insurance in New York.
Lehman's social views, the other hand are we'll
known. He is one of the non-radcal New Dealers
conservative progressive to speak, or noncrack-
pot liberal.
He has learned the job of governor pretty we'll IN
the last six years. though have not always approved
his official actions But at least know about where
Lehman stands on matters of public welfare.
If the election were to be held today (and incl
dentally the governors term four years instead Of
two from now on this writer would vote for Lehman.

fensve armed force stationed The two countries have
been friends good many years. and particularly since
the turn of the century.
We believe the time has come when Canada and the
United States should publicly drive rvets into this
friendship.

,.1 wvJ The United States and Can
AO'O"" ~ ~ wv" ada have large quantities of
natural resources and man-made improvements which
cannot but tempt nations with gangster feelings
What we mean is that Canada and the United States
should enter into treaty for mutual detense-an
agreement that one nation would go to the aid OF the
other in of emergency.
This treaty should be implemented, to currently
overworked word meaning it should be specific. 1t
should state broad terms where and how the two ma
tons would cooperate for their defense 1t should not be
limited to mere avowal of eternal friendship We know
already that we're friends.
For example, Canada has only handful of small naval
vessels In most conceivable conflicts the British navy
would do all could to defend Canada But If the British
navy should be engaged in defending Great Britain or

Canada could only hope as things that the
United States would feel interested enough in Can

We probably would do just that After all, this
country could not look compacently invasion of
