reign, which I am thinking now
of calling in my next book the most
successful exercise in statecraft In
the recorded history of the world.
Hitler Could Police Europe
There is no reason in history for
believing that Hitler, like Napoleon,
will be unable to police Europe. The
job has been done before, and there
even have been men with the i'm
mense egos and power lusts that
such jobs of conquest require and
develop who have known when to
stop, who have known when the
point of diminishing returns in
conquest has been reached or when
they have over-extended themselves.
Hadrian deliberately abandoned
substantial parts of the Roman En-
pire to the barbarians, as they were
called, because the empire had be-
come over-extended"
So there is no hope in history yet
for those who want passionately
to believe that Hitler is swimming
in the blood of Europe toward a
position which he will find, if he
achieves it, completely untenable.
Nor for that matter, is there hope
for any one who wants things to go
on as they have been.
"Hegel said" continued DR.. Durant,
that the world is state of be-
coming. It never becomes anything,
but simply keeps on becoming some
thing else. In all of known time the
world has followed the same path
on graph. 1t starts with a free
economy and then inevitably dis
covers the inequalities of man. Be-
cause man is unequal, the wealth
under free economy is gradually
accumulated into the hands of few
and these few ride on the macks Of
the masses.
THE mass of man always finds
this system of enslavement and
starvation intolerable and revolts,
and a planned or government-con.
trolled economy results. No mat
ter where the planned economy
starts, it always ends by becom-
ing more and more rigid, more and
more restrictive, and with the wealth
accumulating in the hands of the
planners, the bureaucracy. So when
that situation becomes intolerable, it
is smashed and drowned in blood
and desperation, and the process
begins all over again.
Nothing Is Ever New.
Everything there is in the world
today, from w. P. A. in the United
States to military training for Ger
man and italian children of s, from
sharecroppers in the United States
to the massacre of a nation in Po-
land, Communism, Fascism, Amer
icanism, 100 per cent this and that,
all has been seen in the world be.
fore many times and nothing ever
has changed this inexorable flow
from free to restricted to free to re-
stricted. The rate of flow has
changed. depending on many fac
tors. but the flow itself never.
II you ask me whether it is pos-
sible that this flow may be altered
so that the world may arrive at
civilization and retain it, then Won
take me out of the field of history.
AS a reasonable man I don't see
why it cannot be accomplished. but
there always have been reasonable
men and they never have been able
to see why

Washington, May 20 - u.P) -
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh said
last night that this country's armed
forces have been inadequate for
many years and asked American
Republic to unite In practical de-
tense plan for the western hemi-
sphere.
He minimized Americas danger
to conquest from the air and urged
that We stop the "hysterical chat
ter of calamity and invasion that
has been running rife these last few
days"
He criticized the administration s
policy which, he said, led neither to
strength, nor friendship nor
peace"
1T will leave us hated by victor
and vanquished alike" he said, ire
gardless of which way the tide OF
battle turned. One side will claim
that we aided its enemies; the
other that we did not help enough.
Differs With President
He also took issue indirectly with
President Roosevelt over flying
times from possible enemy bases 10
eastern and mid western cities
Lindbergh conceded that bombing
planes could be built with sufficient
range to cross the Atlantic and re-
turn, but he said that the cost was
high, the target large, and the mil
itary effectiveness small. Such
planes he said, do not exist today In
any air force.
"A foreign power could not con.
quer us by dropping bombs on tht
country unless the bombing were
accompanied by an invading army,
he said. And an invading army re.
quires thousands OF small bombert
