BYRNES ATTACKS
LINDBERGH'S TALK
Continued from Page One)

took sharp issue with L~indberghs
statement that foreign air forces
do not have bombing planes cap
able of crossing the ocean and re-
turning and criticized the flier's
views on policy as we'll.
when Mr.. Lindbergh states that
regardless of which side wins this
war, there is no reason, aside from
our own actions, to prevent a con-
tinuation of peaceful relationships
between America, and the coun-
tries of Europe" .Byrnes said, IT
shudder to think of the kind of
America Mr.. Lindbergh is willing
to accept.
"Mr. Lindbergh seems not con-
cerned with the fragrant violations
of the rights of peaceful little ma
tions, the cruel and bitter perse-
cution of God-fearing men, women
and children, because of their re-
ligion, race or political opinions;
the burning of books, the bombing
of helpless women and children
fleeing in terror from their homes;
the parachute spies and the torch
troops. To Mr.. Lindbergh all these
seem to be only little trifling in
significant incidents to an age-old
struggle for power.
But to me these vile, barbaric
deeds represent an attack against
everything that we hold dear, an
attack against international good
faith, against religion, against
learning, against political freedom,
against civilization itself.
America Aroused

stop this hysterical chatter of
calamity and INVASION but I thank

r Is For Bulgaria

Bulgaria is at the crossroads
just above the Dardanelles-the
water lane from the Black to the
Mediterranean sea. That might
be a place of power-if one were
strong.
A thousand years ago Bulgaria
was strong. 1t even terrorized
mighty Constantinople. Then it
became a Turkish province. For
centuries its people were very
poor. They are still poor, still
mostly peasants. Only so years
ago they revolted and set up the
modern nation. Russia helped
them and the BulgarS have a
kindred feeling for the Russians
Despite this feeling Bulgaria
sided with Germany in the World
war and lost territory Now she
has regained some of it from Ru-
mania. That makes her larger
than Kentucky, gives her twice
as many people.
Today Bulgaria is still at the
crossroads. But she is not strong
and she wonders if the crossroads
will become a battle-ground.

II Is For Hungary

The typical Hungarian is a
farmer. He tills fields and raises
stock as a peasant on a large es-
tate in the flat Hungarian plain.
He leaves business to those in the
cities who like it. He takes pride
that his forefathers fought the
terrible Turk to a standstiIL
Under Austria. the Hungarians
proved so turbulent that they
were set up as a separate king
dom tied to Austria only through
allegiance to the Hapsburgs. This
tie was snapped in the World
war. But the peace that made
Hungary independent clipped off
her borders, leaving her without
natural defenSeS. Hungary be-
came nation without a king and
with a single paSsion-to become
great and strong once more. To
have a chance at this she has had
TO go along with strong Germany.
Recently Hungary got back ter
ritory from Rumania. as well as
from Czecho-Slovakia. making
her about the size of Oklahoma.
She wants more.

BOMBING OF ROAD NO
WORSE THAN NATURE

Continued from Page One)
they rolled great rocks into gull
leys and gorges. They piled
stones beside the narrow strip
and old men sat all day breaking
them with little hammers. They
spread rocks on the road. filled
the chinks with gravel, and pack
ed it down with ox-drawn rollers
hewn from solid rock. When
there were landslides the work
had to be done all over again.
The coolies bridged the roaring
torrents of the Salween and Me-
kong rivers, looking up a mile
through the pines and wild
rhododendron to the snow-cap-
ped Yunnan peaks. They bridged
scores of lesser streams with
stone and cement arches that
would stand under the weight of
1000 three-ton trucks ordered
from America. And when the
floods caught them, the work
once more had to be done over
again.
Two-Year Job
Finally, in two years. the
Burma road was finished. 1t
wasn't a speedway but it was
finished-if such a road ever can
be called finished. Nature never
ceases her blasting. 1t takes an
army of workers to keep it in re-
pair.
But the soldiers of China must
be fed and have guns and am
munition. So the army working
on the Burma road VIII take its
rain of bombs along with the
blasts of nature and keep on
working. Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek says it can be done; the
Japanese say it can't. In Wash
ington, nobody knows. But one
way or the other, the Burma road
will be in the history books.

T Is For Turkey

Turkey used to be the bad man
of Europe. She ruled all the
Balkans and threatened proud
Vienna Then she became the
sick man of Europe. Province aft
er province revolted.
! By World war time she had
become a part of the Kaiser's
Berlin-to- Baghdad plans for East
ern expansion and she threw in
her lot with Germany. Her stout
peaSantry fought bravely as
usual. but Turkey lost.
Out of that war came Ataturk,
who made modern Turkey. He
was the first of the modern die
tatorS. He modernized the coun-
try, made its army and its works
respected. He transferred the
capital from ancient Istanbul on
the Dardanelles to inland An
kara. Renal is dead now, but the
friendship he established with
Britain, the army he developed
and the capital he protected from
the storms that rage around the
DardanelleS are decisive factors
in the present situation
