France Stands Firm

From the France which said at
Verdun, "They shall not pass" it is
not surprising to hear that, like
Great Britain, she has no remotest
intention of accepting peace at this
time on Hitler's terms. Echoing
the words of Prime Minister Cham
berlain in the House of Commons
Tuesday, Premier Daladier yesterday
told the Chamber of Deputies For
eign Affairs Committee that France
intends to continue "the war that has
been imposed ON us"
Announcement of Frances position,
though wholly lacking in the element
of novelty, is of special significance
because of the open and notorious
Nazi efforts to drive a wedge between
the French and their British allies.
Hitler loses no opportunity-he may
be expected to take the same tack in
this weeks Reichstag speech-to en-
phasize that Germany has no quar-
rel" with France-that the Reich is
at war primarily with "perfidious
Albion" Der Fuehrer'S blandish-
ments generally emphasize that the
Germans have no more territorial
claims to push at the expense of the
neighbor across the Rhine, but
Frenchmen are not likely to forget
that "Mein Kampf" singles out their
country as one which must sooner or
later be destroyed" before Germany
can ever feel that her own destiny in
Europe is thoroughly safe.
M. Daladier epitomizes the situa-
ton tersely when he affirms that
France does not wish to live longer
in the state of insecurity of these
last few years." The Republic "re-
fuses to bow to violence and accom-
plished facts Qike the crushing of
Poland)." The French democracy,
which still includes thousands of men
and women who have seen their
country at war with Germany on
three different occasions during the
past sixty-eight years, Wishes" M.
Daladier points out, mot truce be-
tween two aggressions, but durable
peace guaranteeing absolutely its
national security within system Of
security for all nations"
So far, only the outlawed Com
munist party of France has raised its
voice in favor of considering the
humiliating peace terms" which
Hitler is ready to offer. Those terms,
in fact, as was made perfectly clear
at Moscow last week after the Rib
bentrop- -Molotoff pact for the parti-
tion of Poland, are not peace terms
at all. They are terms of surrender
and unconditional surrender at that.
AS M. Meillet. president Of the Cham
Der Military Affairs Committee,
observes: "Polands body is scarcely
in the tomb, before the very persons
who committed the crime are asking
for peace. Without waiting for propo-
sitions, all France answers MOI"
The French Army, standing for $50
square miles in German territory, in
front of the Maginot Line, is reported
by American newspapermen invited
by General Gamelin to visit the west
ern battle area, to reflect that same
grim resolve which Is manifest on
the home front.

High Cost of Living
. Vital Issue.

Repeal of the arms embargo will not
be an unmixed blessing to U.S. For one
thing, all prices will rise. not only for
armaments, but for everything else. Sale
of war materials to belligerents will seri-
ously hamper our own defense program,
program in which we are in the pvocess
of spending several billions of dollars.
Our rearmament program will suffer
because deliveries will be delayed. This
is not idle conjecture-it is already
happening. Everything on new contracts
being let is causing NOR and more
manufacturers to express doubts as to
their ability to meet delivery dates,
and the increase in the armament busi-
ness has just started. Plants and organ
izations simply cannot be expanded over
night. Expansion is costly and slow,
and afterward is scrapped, so therefore
must be charged off over q very limited
period Of time and against the immedi-
ate business in sight. Britain and
France have been preparing for this
war since Munich and still lack produc-
ton facilities, else why should they want
to buy from us?
Not only did prices on everything rise
during the World War to unheard of
levels, but our Government on entering
the war found 1t necessary to buy Amer
ican-made arms and munitions in great
quantities from the allies who had tied
up our factories entire production for
some time in filling their orders. Except
for signatures, French and British con-
tracts have already been completed and
will go into effect Immediately If the
arms embargo is repealed Deliveries to
our own Army and Navy will lag because
the one-tenth Of one per cent per day
liquidated damage penalties which the
contracting firms will have to pay to
Uncle Sam for late deliveries will be
much more than Offset by fancy profits
and handsome bonuses for early deliv-
cries to Britain and France. Our ma
tional defense program will be further
jeopardized by the export of strategic
and critical materials, /. e., materials
which are scarce and vital, part Of
which we had to import.

In 1904, the Democrats tried another
candidate, Judge Alton Parker from New
York, but failed again, so in 1908, they
tried Mr.. Bryan again against William
Howard Taft. This was unsuccessful.
In 1920, they once more tried the Mid
west and selected Gov James Cox of
Ohio. But he was opposed by another
Ohioan. United States Senator Warren
G. Harding and the Republicans won.
On all other occasions since 1860, up
to the present. the Democrats have Sc
lected their candidates from the Eastern
Coast States and have been uniformly
unsuccessful, except in the cases above
mentioned.
Each time the Democrats have selected
Midwestern man, he has run against a
Republican from the West and the Re-
publican has won.
1t Is significant that, since 1860, the
major parties have turned to New York
City five times for their standard bearers,
the Democrats naming Horace Greeley,
Samuel Tilden, John w. Davis aid Gov.
Alfred E. Smith, and the Republicans,
Justice Charles E. Hughes. All of these
candidates were defeated on election day.
The United States is a very large country
made up with widely diversified interests.
The planters In the South, the miners In
the Far West, the manufacturers and
the agriculturists Of the Central and
Midwest, all admire the greatness of New
York City on their visits to the metropo-
Lis, but when 1t comes to being willing to
permit one Of its citizens to become the
Chief Executive Of this country, they, in
no uncertain terms. have turned thumbs

Thomas praise was reminiscent of
Coach Jock Sutherland's remarks
after watching Tennessee whip
Alabama, q to 0, early this year.
Despite the amazing offensive bril-
lance of Cafego, Butler and Foxx,
Sutherland's eye was caught by the
defensive strength of the volun-
teers.
1T is one of the few games I have
ever SEEN" he said afterwards, "in
which a defense did not make a
single mistake l don't believe any
one will score on Tennessee all
year"
Just as Cafego is the key man
on the offense, Jimmy Rike, center
is the director of the defense. He
calls the defensive signals, and
judging from the results, must know
only slightly less football than
Coach Bob Neyland.
Speaking of Cafego. football stu
dents in this section who have seen
Tennessee in most of its games this
year, believe the West Virginia
Hungarian is so per cent of the
teams strength on offense. He is
the one back on the team who does
MT need the most effective blocking
to pick up yards. He is far and
away the best strategist on the
team, and the other members of the
squad have complete confidence in
him. He is inspirational. and at
the same time a tremendous steady
ing influence. When Cafego is on
the field the team has the poise of
a seasoned. professional outfit.
Report is that he will be 100 per
cent ready for the Rose Bowl game,
despite the fact that he went out
on the third play of the game
against Kentucky two weeks ago.

(UP)-For the second year in sue
