Dunkerque
To the Editor Of The Star:
From the New York Times.


So long as the English tongue survives.
the word Dunkerque will be spoken with
reverence. For in that harbor, in such
a hell as never blazed on earth before at
the end Of a lost battle, the rags and
blemlshes that have hidden the soul of
democracy fell away. There, beaten but
unconquered, in shining .splendor, she
faced the enemy.
Ihey sent away the wounded first,
Men died SO that others could escape. It
was not so simple thing as courage,
which the Nazis had in plenty. It was
not so simple thing as discipline,
which can be hammered into men by a
drill sergeant. 1t was not the result of
careful planning, for there could have
oeen little. 1t was the common man of
the free countries, rising in all his glory
out OF mill, office, factory, mine, farm
ana ship, applying to war the lessons
learned when he went down the shaft to
bring out trapped comrades, when he
hurled the lifeboat through the surf,
when he endured poverty and hard work
for his childrens sake.
This shining thing in the souls of free
men Hitler cannot command, or attain.
or conquer. He has crushed it, where he
could, from German hearts.
1t is the great tradition of democracy.
1t is the future. It Is victory.

Pay Cut Plan

Senator Byrd's proposal for ten
per cent cut in the ordinary expenses
OF the Government would have an
unfortunate effect if it operated to
reduce the pay of Federal employees.
In the first place, Government
workers, along with everybody else,
face an increase in taxes to pay for
the defense program.
. Secondly, if experience is worth
ANYTHING as guide, sharp increase
in the cost of living can be expected
: II this country actually goes on
, war basis, and rise in living costs
. may come as complementary devel-
opment to the present preparedness
drive.
Nor should it be forgotten that
Government employees already have
made contribution to economy in

tions Committee having denied all

Freedom of Speech

Earl Browder, the Communist
Party's candidate for the presidency,
yesterday availed himself of a cher
ished American privilege-the free
dom of speech-and he seized upon
that opportunity to make preposter-
GUS statements which he must have
known to be false.
But this Nation should not concern
itself primarily with the question of
whether Mr.. Browder dealt in facts
or falsehoods. A statement made in
good faith, though it be untrue in its
entirety, is entitled to the same pro-
lection under our constitutional ira
dition as one which is correct to the
last detail.
In Mr.. Browder's case, however,
there exists the important distinction
that he does not stand in the position
of an American honestly availing
himself Of an American right. Al
though he enjoys American citizen
ship. both he and his party. IN &C.

Wants England to Cede
West Indies to U. S.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The time to acquire United States
ownership of nearby outpost islands
(since we unwiSely have not done it
before) is now-immediately! The
menace to our Nation Of the islands of
Bermuda, the Bahamas, Jamaica and
other strategic or nearby outposts in the
possession of any foreign hands Is a
direct or indirect potential danger to
the United States.
The recent incidents occurring on the
island of Bermuda and the compulsion
in consequence of changing the route to
a longer and more perilous trip for our
Atlantic mail carriers and Ameri-
can passengers, the occupation of an
other island Of the West Indies By
foreign military force, and above all the
possible German threat of investment,
have vital interest for the American
people.
These islands should be obtained from
our debtor foreign nations (Great
Britain and France, applying upon
their defaulted war debts. This is an
opportunity for England and France,
without money payments, largely to re-
deem themselves from their dishonor-
ing Of acknowledged debts to us.
England by the ceding of the islands
mentioned and others Of the West
Indies, Is . part payment Of debts, would
make move necessary 70 EnglAnd1

Rumoniu Changes Front

RepercuSsions of Nazi military sue
cesses are to be expected among all
those small nations-particular in
the Balkans-Which fear, but have
not yet felt, the blast of the Nazi
war machine. The loudest of these
echoes Is Rumania's replacement of
her pro-Ally foreign minister, Girl
gore Gafencu,. with the pro-German
Ion Gigurtu
What the new foreign minister can
do to stave off German attack, which
has threatened more or less seriously
for nearly a year, is problematical.
Rumania's difficulties with the Reich
are those of physical inability to
serve the German war machine with
the diligence Berlin desires rather
than Of political antagonism toward
the Reich.
Being a friend of Germany and
being well-liked in German quarters,
Gigurtu may win a respite for King
Carols kingdom by convincing Berlin
that Rumania already is doing every
thing compatible with neutrality to
deliver oil, wheat and other raw
materials which the Reich's armies
are consuming at rapid rate.
The heart of Rumania's present
peril is her failure to send Germany
the 0,000-ton monthly quota of oil
agreed upon last December. Actual
deliveries have been little over half
that figure. German pressure for
more oil conflicts with a reduced
productivity attributable, no doubt,
to the combined effects of curtailed
manpower resulting from mobiliza-
ton for defense and of the reluctance
OF foreign-owned oil companies
British, French, Belgian and Dutch
to maintain production for the bene-
fit of their enemy.
German planes, tanks and motor
lied units burning up gas and oil by
scores OF thousands of gallons daily
on the western front will cut deeply
into Adolf Hitlers reserves, sooner
or later requiring the Nazis to find
replacement supplies. Rumania
offers the most immediate source,
and If she is unable to supply the
Nazis' increased needs Germany may
feel impelled to step into Rumania
and operate the wells herself.
How much the Reich thereby could
increase her oil acquisitions is one
OF the big questions to which Berlin
must have the answer before acting.
The Rumanians, it is believed.
have laid their plans for sabotaging
wells and refineries before they fall
into Germany's hands.
But it is no part of King Carols
wish to have to resort to such de-
struction, and selection of Gigurtu
at this juncture may be a desperate
effort to mollify Hitler and convince
the Reich that her best chance of
getting Rumanian oil lies in accept
Ing Rumania's cooperation and re-
specting her sovereignty.

Modern Vikino

At the time when the Nazis reached
HonningSvaag, Norwegian fishing vii
lage, business was buzzing-at least
for DR.. Maehre, the local dentist.
DiStastefully, this descendant of the
Vikings gazed out the window at the
super-modern, million-mark armed
German trawler Malangen in the
harbor. Dropping his novocaine, he
wandered downtown, collected thirty
fishermen, hid them in a pair of
1allopy boats and maneuvered along
side the unsuspecting craft. Sud-
denly the matches were opened and
all swarmed aboard the enemy vessel.
"This will hurt little" said the
doctor, as he drilled the Nazi captain
through the middle of the fifth
column, "but it will soon be over" It
was. The others of the crew were
somewhat panied at the infringe
ment on their patent in treachery,
but are not worrying about it now.
So sudden was the assault that the
protectors OF Norwegian neutrality
never even had a chance to set off
that triumph of German naval inge-
nuity, the scuttling bomb.
Consequently, DR.. Maehre and the
Malangen may still be seen cruising
around in an old ford looking for
patients. This action may not be
ethical, but is said to be highly
practical. When he finds one he
opens wide and does a neat, work.
manlike job. When he runs out of
supplies he skips off to Hammerfest,
loads up and goes out again at his
self-appointed task Of filling the Nazi
casualty Lists.
Evening star., 1940-06-03

in those limited instances where
some money may be made available
by retrenchment in other quarters.
AS the result Of this policy, thousands
OF employees will continue to be de-
prived of well-earned advancement
as they have for the better part Of
the past decade.
The necessity for economy is un-
questioned, particularly in the light
of the enormous expenditures for
arms the country is making, but the
pay roll is only about sixth of the
total annual expenditures, and Con-
gress should survey all other possi-
bilities for savings before looking in
this direction.

A Grandmother

She has a face in which all seasons meet:
First. in her eyes, is spring, still bright
with dew,
Whose laughing flowers bloom all the
seasons through;
And in her simle is summer, warm and
sweet.
Her look is autumn, with her work
complete
Looking upon the harvest; and all
through
Her face is winter, dignified and true.
Full Of calm sleep and wonderful retreat.
Old age has brought her beauty all her
own,
A ripeness and fullness Of the heart.
A restful strength, and faith renewed
and bright.
She has found peace from all that she
has known,
And. willingly relinquishing her part,
Prepares with gladness for the closing
night.

Americans Held Blind
To Their Own Interests,

To the Editor Of The Star:
A democracy is like cake, 1t is good
or bad according to the material it's
made Of. A good dictator may perhaps
drill some sense into a stupid, selfish
people. A bad dictator is well able to
curb the intentions of good people. but
a democracy stands or falls by the tenn
per Of its citizens.
Are we good or are we bad? AS look
In the newspapers, listen to the radio,
watch people in shops, in buses, in res
taurants. 1 wonder. There seems little
idea Of service anywhere. The main
feeling is to spare oneself discomfort
get as much for as little as possible, to
do the minimum Of work for the maxi
mum of pay and be on no account a
sucker Oh, we've grown so smart.
We were free once, weren't we? We
fought that we might have a vote in the
direction Of our country that we would
have some influence upon the Nation our
children would have to live In. Yet we
are now so free that we refuse to have a
vote in world affairs. Whatever the
world to come may be like, Americans
do not wish to have anything to do with
it. Yet one cannot have a vote in the
affairs Of ones nation and refuse vote
in the affairs Of the world. For the world
is larger than the nation and capable of
affecting it. You cannot keep a fame
alive in a flood of water, and you cannot
keep democracy in a world ruled by
brute force.
Times are changing and Americans
have always been proud OF being up to
date, yet their political thinking is 20
years out of date. They refuse to face
the facts, they refuse to realize that time
is pressing and soon the die will be cast.
At present, in France, the future Of our
own citizens is being decided as well as
that of the rest Of the world. Where are
the free people who wished to have a
vote in their own future? Under the
beds? HIM.
