reminded constantly that the Re-
publican party has written into its
platform Endorsement of the prin-
ciples of the old McNary-Haugen
farm relief bill, under which the
farmers were to have the proceeds
of an equalization fee' applied to
their crops to raise the price of the
part sold domestically over the world
price. The fact that the late Presi-
dent Coolidge twice vetoed the Nc
Nary Haugen bill and former Presi-
dent Hoover failed to afford the
farmers the relief they asked was
largely responsible for their shifting
to the Democratic ticket in 1882.
Now, with Mr.. McNary on the
national ticket they are coming back
in large numbers, it is claimed. The
Democrats are seeking to stem the
tide with arguments that the Roose-
welt administration did give the
farmers relief, and that Senator Nc
Nary is not to be President, but only
Vice President, if the G. o. P. ticket
wins. They say he was not success
full before in getting aid for the
farmers from a Republican admin
istration and that he may be no
more successful if a new one is put
in office.
Organized labor, in this State as
in others. is lining up for President
Roosevelt. There are signs, how
ever, that other labor is not so IA
verable to the Roosevelt cause.
Polls taken in the poorer sections
Of Portland have shown the Willkie-
McNary ticket surprisingly strong.

Belloc was never tired of remind
ing us, France is military" ma
ton and we are not. That is why
France Is where she is today.
The military mind compares
war to a game of chess. You
have certain pieces, horse, foot
and artillery, and you invade, you
retreat. you outflank and pres
emily you march on the enemy
capital and that is checkmate
for him. The mass Of the popu-
lation is on-combatant and does
nothing The army pays as it
goes.
But the great wars that have
changed the course of history
have never had this cut-and-
dried character. There has al
ways been an element of surprise.
A new sort of tactics. new sort
of organization. a new method,
entrenchment, the long bow, vii
famous Saltpetre,' a new model
cavalry. the Parthian mounted
bowmen, the aeroplane, the tank,
has appeared and made foolish
ness of current military science.
Tank Won Last War.
In chess the rules are rigid. In
warfare the key to success is an
unexpected change in the rules.
You put new pieces on the board
with new powers, or you enlarge
the board by increasing the num-
ber OF squares or making 1t OBJ
long or triangular.
Intellectually, we won our war
against Germany in 1916. Since
1903 civilians had been pointing
out that the pedrail or tractor
wheel and land ironclad could
defeat entrenchment. The tank
was simple commonsense pos
sibility at that time. The mill
tary would have none of it. 1t
was forced upon them by Mr..
Winston Churchill in 1916.
Used intelligently, it could GER
tainly have won the war in that
year But our military" muffed
and sabotaged it. They still do
not know how to use the tank
nearly as we'll as the Germans.
Even today they dispute whether
the tank is horse. foot or artil-
lery. You will find them debating
whether the tank is a sort OF
cavalry or the head of an in
fantry advance or a mobile gun.
There are several schools. 1t has
still to dawn upon them that a
tank is-a tank!
Every Innovation a Gamble.
The tank is a tank and the
airplane is neither light cavalry
scout nor a long-range gun, but
an airplane, and every invention
that is to be used successfully in
war is itself. and means a COM
plete readjuStment of our war
plans and methods to utilize it's
surprise value.
Every such innovation is
gamble. You cannot make war
without danger. There is a vast
accumulation of experimentation
and new devices going on now;
every one of them has its pc
culiar possibilities. many of them
cannot be used if others are used:
they won't work together: and we
have to choose among the COM
plex of possibilities and 60 all
out for the combination we Sc
lect. Otherwise We shall be like
the White Knight in Alice in
Wonderland smothered in gad-
gets.
But to do this we want not a

the consoling thought that, after
all, it may be as foolish to over

We are not fighting war gods, We

of them. They may throw away

NEW YORK, Oct. 5 (N.ANA0.
SO the muddling up of the
politics of Europe is Germany's
hope of ESCAPE from the defeat
that faces her.
The Nazis may be able to drag
Russia into the conflict, by per-
suading her to take over more
Polish territory. I doubt that.
Few people can deny the shrewd-
ness shown by the Soviet gov
ernment during the past four or
five years. 1t has recovered all
the Polish territory up to the
Curzon line of 1920. to which it
has plausible claim. Why
should it take over further
trouble?
I wish I could feel as sure of
Polish commonsense. The Poles,
romantic but essentially Fascist
in spirit, are very incalculable
factor in our problem. They per-
sist that they are at war with
Russia and at peace with Italy
and the present British foreign
Office lacks either the will or the
intelligence to clean up this dan
gerous inconsistency. Plainly We
should do so as soon as possible.
How can We expect Russia to
trust anything We say when We
keep up this facing -both-ways
attitude?
May Try to Draw L. S. In.
Again, the Germans are likely
to do all they can to drag
America into the war. rather than
admit the possibility of a
straightforward defeat by Bri-
tain. To bring America into the
war would be to bring American
party politics into the war. The
Germans stand far better
chance of confused and in
conclusive conference which
would enable them to try again
later. if they can do that. The
present slow growth of a ra-
tional common world outlook be-
tween Great Britain. Canada and
America is far better thing for
all of us than a hasty and un-
stable war alliance. with half
America uncertain about it or
definitely unwilling
In all these matters Germany
is likely to maneuver with much
greater suppleness than We
British. with our present divided
counsels and our entirely out-of-
date and ill-informed foreign
Office and diplomatic service. are
likely to display. The most
dangerous element in the world
situation at the present time is
the mutual lack of knowledge
between Russia and the English
speaking world.
Ignorance on Both Sides.
Most of the directive individ-
uals in Russia. excepting perhaps
Litvinoff, see the Western World
through a haze of antiquated
MarXist class-war dogma. and the
ignorance about Russia of such a
man as Lord Halifax is probably
profounder. I doubt if he has
ever troubled to read single line
of Marx. Lenin or Stain.
Yet since it is a primary thing
in the present situation to get to
some working understanding
with Soviet Russia, it is a pity
that we cannot change over to a
better-informed foreign minister.
In the prejudices, ignorances and
misunderstanding on our side
for which Lord Halifax is the
symbol lie whatever prospect
the present German regime may

Broken Dishes" portrays Jen-
ny Bumpsted, the nagging wife,
who complains necessarily about
having married a poor storekeep-
er instead of a handsome young
man whom she had~loved, but
who went away to the city and
became rich. Cyrus, the husband,
while his wife and two elder
daughters go to a movie, decides
to aid and abet his youngest
daughter in her love affair with
grocer's boy. In the interim,
however, a stranger calls and up
sets the domestic life of the
Bumpsteds. From that point the
story forms into some real ex-
element.
The auditorium of the High
School has been completely mos
quito-proofed and will be ex-
tremely comfortable for the
spectators. A clubhouse is anti
cipated, though tickets will be on
sale at the box Office Immediately
preceding the play. All seats are
unreserved.
Broken Dishes" is being di-
rected by Guy Carleton. Advance
reports indicate that this venture
will be the most successful yet
undertaken by the Key West
Players.
