After he had finished, Cham.
berlain told his cabinet that the
hook-up between Stain and Hit
Ter was the best thing that could
have happened to England. This
opinion is by no means shared
by some other members of the
British Cabinet, but time may
prove that Chamberlain is right.
In the first place, it is obvi-
Gus that Hitler cannot entirely
trust Stain. Therefore he cam
not leave the Polish border I'M
protected. At least fifteen or
twenty German divisions will have
to remain there, which is more
than the German General staff
kept on the Eastern Front after
Russia's defeat in 1918.
Furthermore, the Prussian junk
ers Of Eastern Germany must be
in a very uneasy and anti-Hitler
state Of mind.
FRIGHTENED LANDLORDS
In this part Of Europe exists the
most autocratic landlord caste
In the world. The Prussian
Junker is born to rule. Some
Join the army, some manage the
vast plantations of East Prussia.
Their word is law. 1t is enforced
with the horse-whip and the pis-
toll.
The ruling class of Poland was
little different from the Prussian
Junkers. Imagine therefore,
how the Junkers must feel with
Karl Radek landlord hunting just
across the new Polish border. 1t
will soon be possible to throw
stone-probably with propaganda
tied to it-from a Soviet collec-
tivized farm in Russian Poland to
a feulal Junker barony in Prus-
STA.
So don't be surprised II the
ruling classes Of Germany j0t
down a few black marks after
Hitler's name. After all, they
never did love him. And
the sight of Joe Stain putting
big chunks of Europe in the So
Wet market basket can't be
very welcome.
NOTE-Only country so far VIC
torious in the World War Is Rus
STA. The realization of the fact
may eventually bring peace.
MURPHY'S SWEETHEART
Frank Murphy has new sweet
heart. She fell in love with him
when she saw his picture on a
magazine cover. 1t was the red
hair and red, bushy eyebrows
which got her. She flew thou
sand miles to Washington, bring
ing bouquet Of lilies for her
unseen darling.
She went to his office, present.
ed the lilies, and came away
with photograph, affectionately
autographed. Only Joker in the
tale is that the lady In question
Is five years old.
She is Miss Anne MallOn,
daughter of Mrs. Mary Mallon,
an American widow who has
been living in Barbados. When
Miss Anne first saw Murphy's
picture, she became highly ex-
cited. "MOmmy," she said, II
want to marry him!"
When war conditions made liv-
ing difficult in British Barbados,
the Mallons returned to the states
by plane-no steamers available
and Miss Anne brought a bou-
quet and a determination to see
the man of her dreams.

and friend called the attorney
generals secretary, asking that
she receive the flowers. But the
secretary said that Mr.. Murphy
hearing that the lady was only
five years old. would like to re-
ceive the giver of the lilies.
So Miss Anne finally met her
hero.
SUPPRESSED WAR PLAN
A printed notice appears on
the cover of the Army's much
discussed Mobilization Plan,
which outlines a semi-dectatorial
super-government to run the
United States in case of war. The
notice says: "Public Document.
United States Government Print
ing Office. For sale by the Sup
erintendent Of Documents, Wash.
ington, ID. G.
BUT JUST TRY TO BUY A
COPY!
1t can't be done. You not only
can't buy one, but you can't bor-
row one. In the last several
weeks. ever since the Plan be-
came a matter of wide public COM
ment and conjecture. copies Of
1t have become scarcer than hens
teeth.
