VERBAL STRATEGY
(Christian Science Monitor)

Apparently the German attack on Brit
ain has already begun but not with whole
sale bombing attacks on London nor in
ships sailing against England" 1t be-
gins with statements that may sound
somewhat amusing until their real in
tent is recognized. One of these appears
in the authoritative German publication,
"Dienst Aus Deutschland" commenting
on grandstands and loudspeakers report
edly being erected along Berlm's Unter
den Linden. The statement runs:
These preparations may be regarded
as SYMPTOMS that the success OF the
operation against Britain Is already
regarded as so certain that time can be
taken out for preparing for the recep-
ton ceremonies of returning soldiers.
Somewhat similar are reports being
circulated by lie Petit Dauphinois, right
list paper of Grenoble France, that Ger
many has assembled 100000 men and
hundreds of ships for its attack on Brit
tain, and that these are lying along the
coast from Brest, France, to Bergen,
Norway.
Such reports become understandable
when read with others that say Relchs-
fuhrer Hitler will make a speech III the
next few days offering Britain one more
chance to cooperate with him in recorder
ing Europe a la Nazi. Thus the Battle of
Britain is beginning with an effort to
awe the British by a show of supreme
confidence in Berlin.
This is as much part of the strategy
of the battle as the repeated bombings
of the British Isles have been. 1t is
campaign whose object is British nerve
But will 100000 men be sufficient
force to send against Britain? Mr..
Churchill seemed to answer this Sunday
with references to Britain's army of l.
100000, backed by 100000 Home Guard
volunteers.
Will attempts to crack British morale
by pounding on grandstands in Berlin
succeed? The answer may be written on
those cards that the British government
sent to its civilian population instruct
ing them in defense against invasion: IF
the parachutists land near your home
they will not be feeling at all brave

HAM N EGGS ARE
OUT THIS YEAR

With the refusal by the state supreme
court to recognize the necessary num-
Der of names on the Ham and Eggs petit
tions the majority of the California vot-
ing public is heaving a deep sigh of re-
lief They will not be called upon to
fight the proposal this year.
Twice the voters have been forced to
grid their loins and do battle over this
controversial subject After its first
defeat, it should have stayed down. IN
stead, it reared its head a second time
and again the state, the opponents and the
exponents fought the issue bitterly and
quite convincingly. The answer again
was mo- in very definite terms.
Following its first defeat, the measure
should not have been presented to the
people so quickly for a second consider
alton. There was one thin argument
which might have been justified and that
was the showing of strength. 1t was be-
lieved that second time might prove
successful Instead it was defeated more
explicitly than on the first occasion.
That should have been final. The peo-
pie had spoken There was absolutely
no need to make the state, the opponents
and the exponents bear the heavy cost
of third campaign.
1t would have been bad enough to make
the state spend the necessary election
money: worse to have forced opponents
to continually fight off such an attack,
year after year; worst of all would have
been the unnecessary drain on the thin
pocketbooks of those elderly people
whose hopes again and again have been
falsely boosted in the belief that the plan
will produce Utopia.

Willis Thornton's Editorial On:
In A Different Language

Each day it is becoming clearer
that the dictatorial countries of
Europe speak an utterly different
language than our own.
The recent break between Chile
ara Spain illustrates the case with
startling clarity.
In Madrid it is stated that one of
the chief reasons for severing rela-
tions with Chile is that in a pub
lie meeting in Chile orators had
the vileness grievously to insult
Spain and its glorious Caudillo' in
a speech broadcast by the official
radio and listened to by high Off
cials.
Mark what Spain assumes. She
assumes that in some way beyond
understanding to western hemis-
phere minds) she has the right to
control what is said in public
square in Chile, thousands of miles
away.
The United States has taken
some pretty bad shellackings in
the European press. And though
nothing appears in much of that
press except by official sanction
the United States inclines to shrue
its collective shoulders and say
well. after all, it's THEIR country
It's none of our business what they
print in their papers. We'd rather
it was favorable, but if it isn't
well. we can't help THAT"
But the standpoint of the dicta
torial countries is entirely differ

ent, from Japan to Germany to
Italy. One of the chief Japanese
complaints against China before
the three year incident began
was that the Chinese papers, Chi
nese speakers, Chinese wall-pla-
cards, were unfavorable, sometime3
even unpolite, toward the Japanese.
Each German conquest was pre-
ceded by a storm of protest ipS,the
German papers that 'over There
they are saying nasty things about
u.s. Throughout Latin America
German representatives have pro-
tested often against unfavorable
publicity given them and their
cause.
One of the attributes of SOW
ereigrty is the right to control, or
to keep free, public utterance with
in the borders of the sovereign
state. Any attempt from abroad
to abrogate the right is as arrogant
an imposition as to march in and
seize territory.
So it seems to us. But not 10
totalitarian countries They feel
that they, and only they, have the
right not only to govern utterance
in their sown lands, but to control
it throughout the world.
They speak. thus, different
language from our own. For VIC
believe that in the long run the
one way to win friendly opinion
and comment in other lan'ds iskto
deserve it.

THE AIRCRAFT INDUSTRIES
BECOME THE HEROES

1t has been common knowledge that
the anticipated high-speed production OF
airplanes begged down as a result of a
simple snarl in government red tape.
The trouble was this: Aircraft COM
panies We're ready to go at the produc-
tion job with vigor. But the government
has passed a law that the companies
could not make more than a profit of 8
per cent on jobs entailing bids, and Z
per cent on Jobs where there had been no
competitive bidding. But the govern
ment could not define how it would cal
culate the costs and thus compute the
profit, And builders couldn't give fig
ures without knowing what the govern
ment would recognized
The average person is not acquainted
with the governments method of check
ing business, a method which confounds
and confuses business and industry be-
cause the government is constantly
changing the rules. Often the operator
doesn't know of the changes until one or
two years operations have been COM
pleted AS prices are fixed on what the
government will recognize as costs, it is
therefore essential that the aircraft man.
ufacturer be appraised of such, so he can
conform to law.
This mess should have been simplified
and defined by governmental accountants
after 24-hours of study. But after "a
days and more, the end was not in
sight.
To get action, the airplane builders
said in effect, For Pete's sake. If you
can't agree on policy, We'll make the
planes anyhow and take our chances that
the government will be fair when it
comes to the calculations"
That's risk and a big one. We admire
them for cutting the Gordian knot. Their
operations will call for investment of
millions and millions of dollars and they
may take heavy losses or break the law
as government decides. We hope their
confidence isn't misplaced.

nennle are getting good and tired.

CAPRA'S CAKE
is DOE
From watching on the sets. Al
know this much about it: Cooper
is a former baseball pitcher from
Kansas City. Just as he is about
to sign with a major league, his
arm goes bad Out of the game,
broke, but always hopeful, he drifts
east. :. Miss Stanwyck is a news
paper columnist who, on dull
day. writes and prints particularly
appealing and desperate letter
signed John Doe. Her editor
learns of the hoax and is about TO
fire her. But the plea has attracted
so much public sympathy and so
many offers of help that the editor
decides to make stunt of it and
FIND suitable down -and-outer to
post as the writer of the letter..
Long John Willoughby, the glass-<
armed pitcher, is selected. You can
see that the situation has lot OF
possibilities for the Capra formula.
Although it's true that he's risk
ing the old homestead on this pro-
duction, Capra has cheering ad-
vance assurances that his brand
of entertainment is especially ac-
ceptable to a troubled public these
days. A local theater dug up Lost
Horizon and played it four weeks.
That led to a widespread revival
of Capra pictures which, on the
basis of his original profit sharing
contracts. have begun paying him
