Allies Hope to Put
Hitler in Bad Spot
By the Associated Press.

It sounds funny to hear reputable mill
tary scholars talk about battles and ma
neuvers in terms of the psychological
effect they will have on one lone man
well removed from the battle front, but
that is the sort of talk most current in
informed spots in Washington.
Hitler is mystic" it is said. HE has
had phenomenal success with his guesses
as to what will work for Germany and
what will not. He has consistently out
guessed his generals. He has convinced
q large part of the German population
that he is infallble. Also he has con-
WINGED himself, and that makes him
vulnerable"
That is composite quotation from
several sources. 1t represents what Ger
tain skilled observers believe to be the
basis Of French British strategy. Con-
slant pressure of the blockade, Of propa-
ganda among the German population,
of lighting on German soil" on the
west front-these and other factors are
looked upon as likely to press Hitler into
some decision which may turn out badly.

Without invocation of the Neutrality
Act. there was no legal way to bar the
sales to Japan. although the arms en-
barge was keeping American planes
from Spain. Therefore, the moral en-
barge" was launched, with wide publicity
given to Secretary Hul's statement.
Most manufacturers Immediately lived
up to It, Only one company continued
seeking and getting licenses for export
ing planes to Japan, contending that it
had to fulfill an old contract. The COM.
pany did not respond to informal sug-
gestions that it ought to ind a way to
stop the business
Press correspondents kept asking the
State Department the identity of the
manufacturer whose planes were still
going to Japan. (The licenses were
listed anonymously in monthly reports

Finally, the department made public
the name. There was immediate reac-
ton. In face of widespread public re-
sentiment, the company quickly stopped
the business.
In the light Of the thus demonstrated
effectiveness Of the moral embargo"

May had passed, and June-and
now it was July, the month of the
wild-rose. Within its fortress Of
mountains the valley lay besieged
by torrid heat.
Just fortnight ago, after day
such as this, Jane Landor had died
quietly and unexpectedly in her
sleep. Bruce's sorrow had been
eased somewhat by his melancholy
realization that she was spared fur
ther pain and misery from an ILL.,
ness from which there could be no
recovery, but his grief at her pass
ing had been none the less deep and
lasting.
He had seen very little of Autumn
Dean since that night in May when
he had gone to the PARIS and had
encountered in her mood which
had left him bewildered and har-
assed every time he recalled that
miserable occasion. Only once since
that night had he spoken to her. He
had called on Hector Cardigan one
afternoon and as he mounted the
steps TO the door, Autumn had come
hurriedly out, passing him with a
face strangely white and with only a
swift word of greeting. He knew
she had seen him from within and
had rushed away to avoid talking
with him.
That visit with Hector had been a
doleful affair. The old soldier had
been having words with Jarvis
Deans daughter-of that there could
be no doubt in Bruce's mind. Hec-
tors grumpy mood had refused to
yield to Bruce's efforts at facetious-
ness. In moment the old man
had burst forth in a voice full of
distress. ITS that girl! There's no
talking to her!"
"Why get SO worked up over it?"
Bruce had asked "Why talk to
her?" Even as he spoke, Bruce had
known that his comment had been
a defensive one.
And then Hector had looked at
him for full minute without speak
ing, his wrath cooling gradually, his
droll smile coming. There's little
to choose between a young fool and
an old one-save for a trifing dis
parity in years" he had said, and
had poured a couple of drinks from
the decanter of wine on the table.
Bruce was thinking of that after
noon with Hector now as he climbed
back into his car and started off
along the increasingly difficult trail.
The old fellow had reason enough
to be distressed, or at least gravely
concerned, if Autumn's reputation
in the countryside meant anything
to him. And Bruce supposed it did.
Hector Cardigan had looked after
the girl from her earliest years as
anxiously as if he had been her
godfather. And Autumn Dean was
getting herself talked about rather
freely among the gossips of the COM
munity. People in Kelowna and in

Kamloops were busily recounting
her escapades with the PARIS, Flor
ian in particular, and with such 9TH
ers as made the Parr home a rem
devious, and who focked to their
hunting lodge in the mountains near
Kamloops for week-ends. They had
plenty of fuel for their gossip, and
Autumn had apparently been set
ting a deliberate match to it. AS
old Hector had said, the girl wasn't
giving tinker's dam what they said
about her.
The conviction had grown gradu-
ally upon Bruce that Autumn was
leading this free life of hers with
some ulterior purpose. He could
not think of her running wild from
choice. Nor had he ever been able
to understand her violent change
of manner toward him, unless the
Laird himself had brought it about
by something he had told her, by
some peremptory ban he had placed
upon their relationship. Even then
he could not credit the change. Au-
tumn was too willful, too independ-
ent, to permit even her father to
make up her mind for her. Some
thing else, something of which he
was in total ignorance, was behind
it all. But whatever it was, there
