Editorial Comments
From Other Angles
DOES WILLIAM PITT LIVE AGAIN?
(The New York Times)

It has become commonplace by now to point
to the Napoleonic aspect of Hitler's Europe;
but is there not also a resemblance on the Brit
ish as well as on the German side! If there is
a Napoleonic quality in Hitler's military tri-
umphs, in the fanatical drive of his armies
and the frenzied acclaim of the Berliners as
he returns from his conquests, is there not
also some of the magic touch Of William Pitt
in the leadership of Hitler's enemies?'
The leadership of Winston Churchill has now
been tested in two months of desperate strug-
gle. We have yet to learn it's results on the
home front in speeding up the production of
tanks and some other war materials, but Lord
Beaverbrook announced yesterday that home
production of airplanes last month has set a
new record, more than doubling the output of
June, 1889. Unlike Premier Reynaud of France.
who built his Cabinets on too narrow a founda-
ton, Mr.. Churchill has been wise enough to
place labor leaders in the key positions of the
war effort. Perhaps this is one of the many
reasons why the British people are now united
regardless Of class, until, by now, they are
under his leadership, irrespective of politics,
truly a garrison of more than forty millions,
grimly resolved that their fortress shall not
surrender.
StlQA Slllll lid ldlll6u Ills people 10
face one disaster upon another without finch
ing. He has kept their courage by keeping up
his own, even in the face of the collapse of
France, which must nave been the bitterest
blow of his lifetime. He has fired their spirits
with imperishable words, and has given heart
to his people and their friends throughout the
world. Is it stretching parallels to feel that
William Pitt is alive again? Now, as in Pitts
last days, every alliance built up by Britain
has collapsed; the whole Of the Continent is
dominated by a ruthless enemy; the prospects
of British survival look black. The disaster Of
Austerlitz came just before Pitt died, and final
victory was withheld for more than nine years
after he was in his grave; yet his example in
organizing British resistance, in inspiring the
British people was felt until Waterloo and long
afterward. Whatever the outcome Of the pre-
sent ~life-and-death struggle may be, future
generations of Englishment will have equal
reason to honor the example which Winston
Churchill has given them.

Leave It To The Marines

If the world were less stirred by thoughts Of
war we might settle down in an easy chair and
slippers and leave it to the Marines" to settle
Japan's complaint of treatment accorded her
plainsclothsmen in the American sector of
Shanghai's International settlement without
proper authority.
But with every ear attuned for the drumfre
of battle and too many minds hopeful of new
and worse conflict, the episode assumes great.
er Importance than the manhandling of intrud-
ers alone would warrant. 1t is particularly
troublesome just now when the Japanese war
party is on the rampage and seeking only the
semblance of excuse to quarrel with the United
States on the chance of winning favor with
Hitler.
Rather than offering the apology the Japan
csc demand, and even on the chance of breed
ing greater ill-will at Tokyo, it would not be
inexcusable to remind the japanese that Amer
leans have been slapped about, kicked, and
abused, and even American women have been
stripped, by Japanese police and soldiers since
the war with China started, and that the Japan
ese authorities have made no special effort
either to apologize for the misconduct or make
amends to the Americans attacked.
Washington, of course, will not recall these
incidents in any further contacts with the ia
panese authorities, for obvious reasons, but
they are in the record, and if the marines in
Shanghai may not cite them officially, they
certainly may be relied on to let it be known
in their private dealings with the Japanese,
that they have not been forgotten.
We may know that the marines. if left alone
to settle the matter, will do it with credit to
themselves and the nation, as their customs is;
but for all that it is unfortunate that the ia
panese should have SO far overstepped their
rights as to create an issue at this time.

Safety Gains

Out of the long holiday weekend has come
one unusually good piece of news. This is the
sharp drop in traffic fatalities on the nations
highways.
Ordinarily it is a simple enough matter to
predict, in advance the grim figures which the
public will read in the newspapers on the
Monday morning after a holiday. The National
Safety Council knows from long experience
what happens when great crowds of holiday
seeking motorists jam the roads, particularly
at a time when the 4th of July occurs near a
weekend and spreads the heavy traffic over
several days. 1t knows that the average for a
four-day July weekend is 420 traffic deaths.
This holiday weekend, however, turned out
to be a happy exception to the rule as far
as traffic accidents were concerned. There
out the entire nation-less than one-half the
number that was expected.
Records like this lead us to believe that
the motoring public can be educated to safety
in time. The National Safety Council has had
a long pull, but it's work is finally showing
results.
The small number of deaths and serious in
juries from fireworks this year is also crafty
ing although this has become ~a.lesser problem
in recent years and one that is easier to con-
troll. No state reported more than two fatalities
from this cause and there were only eight al
together in the nation. 1t is reasonable to hope
that, with more stringent state laws, deaths
from fireworks will be eliminated entirely with
in a year or so.
But it is the misused automobile which re-
mains the great offender. Even with the great
Improvement that this latest holiday showed,
traffic fatalities accounted for approximately
half of the deaths from violent causes. It is
summer week-ends that we can hope to bring
fatalities down to a reasonable mini

Canadian Exchange

These topsy-turvy times have done some
strange things to markets, but nowhere has
the result been odder than in the case of the
Canadian dollar, says the New York Herald
Tribune.
Largely for the purpose of attracting tourists
from the United States, Capada has been al
lowing trading to continue in the free market.
There has been no suggestion from Canada,
as there was from England, that the banks in
this country cease dealings in free exchange.
The. tourist demand is now the mainstay of the
market of the free Canadian dollar, and the
incidence Of that demand, in the word Of one
observer, has had the result of COMPRISING
into one week two seasonal trends.
In the forepart of the week, the Canadian
dollar has been on the weak side, owing to the
of Canadian exchange unused by some tourists
who have returned to this country. But in the
latter part Of the week the rate has been
strong, indicating that tourists do not shop for
their exchange as well as they might.
The tourist who bought his exchange a few
months ago could have obtained it at a dis
count of more than 20 per cent. Those who
bought Canadian in the early part of last week
had to pay IA per cent or a little more dis
count. Those who put off their buying until
last Saturday found the discount IL per cent.
Thus the effects of war on finance are brought
home to the wayfarer who crosses national
frontiers.

greeting, as between neighbors, and the good
will and best wishes of the people of the United
States.
What his appointment p~ortents, OF course. is
beyond guessing. The government may merely
have chosen this post for him as a means OF
placating the British people, who consented to
his abdication, and learned of his visit OF
Adolf Hitler with misgivings, but nevertheless
desire his protection and love him with the
peculiar love which always goes out to a way
ward son.
On the other hand, the government at Lon
don may have chosen him as its emissary to
prepare the way for the royal family's emi-
grafton, should the outcome of the Battle of
England favor the Axis aggressors. Whatever
the reason which prompted the sending Of
Windsor to the Bahamas, his arrival will be
the signal for rejoicing in this country.

DAYBOOK

happened like that before!' newsmen said of
the nomination of Wendell l.. Willkie.
But the remark brought a snort of disgust
from one of our capital cabbies who has seen
a convention or two himself. He saw Mckinley
nominated in 1900 and his grandpappy, who
took him, filled him with stories of the 1860
convention where 'Old Abe Lincoln was NOM
mated in SO much the same fashion as Wendell
l.. Willkie that it isn't even funny.
Similar Situations
When the 1860 convention delegates assernbl.
ed, a New York favorite son, William H. Sc
ward, was so far ahead of the field that there
was hardly any competition. Straw votes had
given him a tremendous lead.
But when the delegates assembled. things
began to happen. 'Old Abe the railsplitter
had nothing but Illinois on his side to start
with . but before things could really warm
up, Pennsylvania, whose candidat was ia
vorlte-son Simon Cameron, and Indiana had
been brought into line.
The night before the balloting, the Lincoln
crowd gave their first him of a blitzkrieg. One
of their henchrnen took the floor and made a
speech that lasted until after midnight, elimi.
mating the possibility of the Seward speeches
that were scheduled.
That same night, Ward Hill Lamon went to
the printers of convention hall tickets and all
night long a corps of young men wrote the
names of Lincoln bucks on the tickets.
The next day, r~ooters stomped the streets
and shouted for "Old Abe and 1.-The Rail
Splitter The Linco1nites took over the Wig
wan, the huge old rough lumber bar where
the convention was to be held, and when the
Seward shouters arrived there were no seats.
Help From Galleries
S the voting started, Lincoln had barely a
hundred votes but every one that was cast for
him brought such a din from the galleries
that "a thousand steam whistles, ten acres
of hotel gongs, a tribe of Comanches might
have mingled in the scene unnoticed.,
On the third ballot, Lincoln had gone from
nothing to a near majority. What he needed,
the Ohio delegation provided, and the nom
ination was won.
So short a time had he been in the race,
so little was he known as a possibility, that
when Stewards son, working for a newspaper
in Albany, shouted up a tube to the printing
room foreman that Lincoln had won the nom
~ination, the foreman shouted back: Say, what
damn name was that you said was nominated
for President?'
When it was all over Lincoln (and Willkie)
pointed out that a dark horse has the ad-
vantage of having made no commitments and
not owing anybody anything. Of course, that
wasn't exactly true for Lincoln, and it proba-
bly, won't be for Wendell l.. Willkie either.
