Great Britain is more than / can

She fought us again in 1912. She
intermeddled against the Union
in the war between the states;

sucker of us in 1918 to the tune
of fifty thousand million dollars.
She is dead beat and refused to
pay us even a nickel of interest;

OIIIC0I0Iy yUUI D,
WALTER HARDESTY

Dear Uncle Charlie:
Your letter of last Wednesday
received, and the statement in it
about the Democracies banding
together against Germany and
Italy, and making quick work of
them, got a mild rise out of me.
Il heard Hitler's speech verb
atm Friday morning, and l think
that he has fully cleared himself
in the eyes of the world for his
actions in the past few years.
! "All those little Slavic coun-
tries in mid-Europe are composed
of beer drinkers, as distinguished
from the wine drinkers in France
and the whiskey drinkers of Eng
land; so after all, it should be no
affair of ours if these beer drink
ers of the world wish to unite.
Hitler is evidently on the way
to forming a United States of
Europe, ard it is i'll the interest
of the United States to help ra-
Their than to hinder this worthy
cause.
Great Britain has bitten off
every available bit of vacant ter
ritory in the world. and it is evil
dent now that she has more than
she can chew. The Prime Minis
ter of Canada recently proposed
to the Canadian Parliament to
pass legislation, offering the
Mother Country all support in the
way of money and materials, but
not one soldier for overseas serv-
/ ice. This proposal was quickly
squelched, but it is an indication
/ that the Empire is not yet ready
| to rally to the support of Eng
land.
"You write about all the de-
mocracies uniting and wiping out
both Germany and Italy in less
time than the Spanish-American
/ skirmish of 1898. Who will then
solve the problem of feeding and
caring for some Lightweight mil
lion Germans and more millions
of Italians, or is your plan to wipe
them also from the face of the
earth? Such q thought is fan

New York, Dec. 13--(UP)--stocks

In increased trading today following
O rise Of several leading cofimo-
dities into the new highs for the
season.
Wheat, the outstanding feature,
reached 91.02 IA O bushel and
closed at 9i.O2 for q gain Of nearly
4 cents bushel Corn was up as
much as q la cents o bushel while
rye scared 8 7-0 to 8 cents q bushel.
Cotton futures had gains ranging
to 90 q bale and held half the rise.
Silk rose the l6-cent pound limit
with the December option at q nine
year high.
The rise was ascribed 70 specula-
tive demand In many items, ale
though small crop prospects played
large part In the case Of wheat.
In cotton, rising consumption here
and abroad was q big factor. The
improvement aided the speculative
element In all markets.
Shorts covered commitments In
steel shares and rails. New York

most active stocks and Its high OF
