WHEN THIEVES FALL OUT

p UMANIA bows to Russia without a blow.
~ The surrender of Bessarabia, 17,146
square miles of fertile land with more than
5000, 900 population, came when Russia laid its
document on the table and demanded CAROL
signature on the dotted line. To be sure, the
demand was reinforced by the presence of
Russian warships in Rumania's Black Sea port
and of warplanes over the frontier and troops
at strategic border stations, but because of
Carols known weakness it is probable that
STAIN could have imposed his will upon him
without any military demonstration at all.
simultaneously with Russia's demands, Hun
gary presents a claim to Pennsylvania and
Bulgaria asks for Dobruja. All in all, Rumania
faces ACKNOWLEDGMENT. That she should be able
10 defeat Hungary, If it comes to blows, or
even Bulgaria in the same event, is improb-
able, especially as Russia, in addition to re-
gaining Bessarabia, is reported to have de-
manded Rumania's petroleum supplies, with
out which the Rumanians could not hope to
wage successful war.
In these surface movements, however, there
is an undercurrent of further European dis
turbances which might even lead to rupture
of the friendly" relations existing between the
Axis and the Red capitals. Hungary is declared
to have the backing of ADOLF HITLER in its de.
mands upon Rumania. Bulgaria is Russia's
friend, in a way Russia's ward. Any fighting
undertaken among the three Balkan states is
bound to draw the dictators into dissension.
1t is claimed that Germany and Italy made
no objection to Russia's claim to Bessarabia.
This could have come only as a result OF
Hl1LER's and MUsso11NI's pre-occupation with
Great Britain. But if the Balkan trouble ex-
pands, as seems likely, and promises success
for any of the minor powers involved, the die
tator powers on the other side will be forced
to take a hand. That can mean only war be-
tween Russia on the one side and Italy and
Germany on the other. And the Axis powers,
already up to their necks in war, can ill at.
ford to take on another enemy, especially like
Russia which is fully recruited and fresh efter
the Finnish campaigns.
So far as the democratic world is concerned
what little there is left of it-nothing better
coud happen than a split among Europe's die
tators. When thieves fall out honest men NAV
take courage. If the three bandits of Europe
get to fighting among themselves, democracy
may again look upon the future with conf.
dence. The Balkans, always a menace to the
peace OF Europe, may at last become the in
strument of destruction to the wave of totali.
tarianism, under whatever varied names 1t
parades, now rampant across the Atlantic. It is
nara TO visualize war as a blessing under any
conditions, but a war among the dictators
would be just that.

Not For Politics

Once again we rise to object to the
basic idea of a political organization
being in charge Of a community
fund" for the purpose of distributing
food and clothing to the needy.
We made the same objection last
year and have survived umscathed.
1t isn't that we object to giving food
and clothing to the needy. There is no
way to eXemplify the spirit of Christ
any more than to give to those who
are worthy and in need, and there is
no doubt but that there are plenty in
this community in such circumstances.
But we repeat that politics has no
place in human misery.
The New Deal early in its admins
tration grabbed on to the idea and
found that it would bring in votes
when needed, that it was sure way
of buying votes, if administered to
their liking. And they used every
body's money to do it with.
They gathered in vast sums from
taxes and other means from all the
people and passed it out to those in
want, telling them it came out of the
goodness Of the New Deals heart
and out of their pocketbook
They have made big splurge
around the Presidents birthday, when
everybody contributes towards help
ing infantile paralysis sufferers. A
worthy cause, certainly, but everybody
gives~and only the New Dealers get
any Of the credit.
To make the situation nearer home,
the Democrat club here sponsors a
Community Chest" fund and the pro-
ceeds are used to send out Christmas
baskets to the needy The club re-
ceives money from people of all politi-
cal faiths but passes the baskets over
to those in need as having come from
the Democratic organization.
The whole set-up is one designed to
take advantage of human misery for
political benefit.
We don't question the good Of a
Community Chest. We don't question
the motives of the individuals in the
Democrat club. But we do question
the entire procedure as one that is not
good for Democracy
Let's not stop having any Com
munity Chests. Let's not stop giving
to those that need it, But let's take
politics out of it. Either the town or
some civic organization should spon-
sor such project. Then people would
give freely and with gladness.

Bob.
The first time I interviewed Bob
was two years ago. He had just
finished Big Broadcast Of 1888"

to him-he still does. And he had
just started his radio series for his
present sponsor. These two years
have been good ones for Bob-from

larity standpoint
Life Is More Serious.
Has he changed much? A little.
He is much more serious in private
conversation. In 1888 every other
sentence was gag. Now he saves
those gags for his radio and personal
appearances. except when he isn't
quite certain Of whether a gag is
good or bad; then he'll spring it on
you and watch anxiously for the
laugh-or not.
Il can't be gunny all the time"
says Bob, who is serious in private
life. Its a little hard, because
people expect me to be q comedian
"a hours a day. Did I tell you of
that newspaperwoman from Puerto
Rico when We we're in Dallas? She
came up to me and said, oh, so

I was there when this happened,
and 1t was funny to see the desper-
ate expression on Bob's face. But
he recovered and said, Lady, I'm
only human after all"
1T makes life a little dificult." :"
Bob continues. when people see my
face and scream-'Ooh-Bob Hope,
ha-ha.'"
Another change in the Hope per-
sonality Of now and two years ago
he'd rather not discuss the salary
he makes from radio and movies,
even though now his combined earn
ings are triple what they were in
1898 and he pays huge income taxes.
1T makes people sore" says Bob.
They say. Why should he get all
that money? What's he got that
we haven't got?'" Personally. I
like to hear Of and read about those
six-f1gure salaries. Something to
aim for.
