Tolerance
Philadelphia Record)


 Treatment of the Americans of German birth or extraction in this country of the problems fac ing the United States in the days to come The way that problem is met will in part depend on the wis dom of the Germanic Americans themselves but much more it will be test of strength and our humanity
 No one be blamed for hating Hitler and other leaders of Germany. But must be careful not to let that hatred by kind of emotional osmoSis seep through to our American fellow citizens We must not drive them into hatred of country by attacking them because of their nationality; every German persecuted may mean one less good Ameri- can citizen, potential follower of Hitler.
 The large majority of German Americans, we be- lieve oppose Hitler and his works much as we do They know better than what he has done to their homeland.
 Fritz Kuhn and his Bund not typical, and we believe doing little to damage America by their heavy handed, blundering propaganda they doing much to hurt their former countrymen who now Americans. Our path toward tolerance will be made easier if more German Americans speak out against Kuhn and his deluded followers
 But whether they do not, must not fall into the temptation of prosecuting German American citizens because they within reach as scapegoats. If we do that we will be importing into America Hters idea of persecution Let America continue to stand for tolerance in world gone mad.

 Adverse aspects rule today which may be depressing to leaders, par ticularly prelates of the churches Sense of mental and moral upheav- als may cause the clergy to be an xious about bringing the people into closer religious interests.

 National Issues; Party leaders will 90 through a period of sharply di yergent opinions, which will be ad- juSted later by compromises. Re oublicans are to hail young coun- jelor who knows how to point the way. Secret papers will inspire con- erences in the White House as Flu

Ceinting and jockeying in the air, | irving to trick the other fellow into striking the first barbarous blow. 3. The British and French have before them the prospect of costly attack against Germany's strong West Wall, with the great cost in supplies and men that such attacks entail.
 Only two spots for attack appeal quickly to straJeglsts. 1nosc A4e around Metz, where almost level land, and the absence of a river crossing, favor the allies; and just southeast of Belfort, on the Swiss border-a spot also favored with a convenient mountain pass, and un- cut by protecting river. And those are the points where the French army is active.
 So much for the immediate ad- vantage.
 ALLIES ADVANTAGE
 The British and French have the long advantage because CD They have superior wealth and man power, CD their strong fleets con- trol the seas, and (3) they appar- ently have the sympathy of most democratic nations.
 They are, therefore, using their fleets to set up a blockade against Germany.
 Meanwhile, the core of the war is still in Poland.
 Entirely apart from Hitler's an- nounced anxiety to win back Danzig and the Polish corridor, he has Po- land, in a military sense, with her back to the solar neutral Soviet Russia
 And how is the German army us- ing this advantage? First, it is creating a main line, anchored against the German bor- der about opposite Breslau, and ex- tending southeastward across Si- lesia.
 Second, another line, also anchored on the German border-somewhe in the neighborhood of Schneide- muhl, extends eastward into Po- land.
 SWINGING GATE That gives the Germans two long ] lines that they can use much as a farmer uses the double gate into a COW pasture. The ends of the gates hinged on and supplied from the German border, can remain station ary, and the two ends swinging far out into Poland can be brought toward each other to swing togeth- CT, finally, on Warsaw.
 If the Germans are successful they will force the Poles out of Western Poland.
 Polish tactics at the start are tt keep the gates from closing They are concentrating on the lower gate around Kracow If they could out flank the Germans marching north. ward, the whole German drive nigh
 have to be held up. The line would be in danger of being bent double Then its supplies would be cut off
 As the strategists here see it however, the Poles can hardly hopt to prevent the gate from cloSins in the long run.
