Of destroying H1rLER1sM and all the false gods
the Nazis have raised for Europe's ruin? only
time can tell. England has blundered tremend-
ously in itse every exploits since the war start
ed last September. In no test except in retreat,
has it measured up to its opportunity or to us
traditions. From the start it has proved It's
frailty, it's inability to vision the emergency.
Has the lesson of France been learned at Lon
don, and is it to be applied to advantage in the
days of conflict ahead?
That is the question the free nations OF the
world are asking today. For If England has not
learned how to combat the blitzkrieg and proves
unequal to the sanguinary task, it will be
necessary for these nations to take up the bat
tie. For it is u~nthinkable that HITLER and his
fellow dictators should rule the world. Some
where he must be stopped, if not in the Old
World, then in the New World; and that means
that the United States and the other republics
of the American continents must be ready for
the grim job whenever it is imposed upon them.
Tim is pressing. There must be no delay, no
wasteage; but joint effort now, for the restora-
ton of sanity and justice, right and honor,
upon the face of the earth.

GENERAL BUTLER

General SMEDLEY BUTLER's life was ~typically
American, with one striking difference. Born of
Quaker parents, he turned soldier. Quakers love
peace. Their faith requires the turning Of the
other cheek. But BUTLER ran away from home
to fight and refused to be discouraged when
first rejected because of his youthfulness. A
second try, and Misrepresentation of his age,
brought success. The Marines accepted him, and
in that branch of the military service of his
country he rose to distinction.
In recognition of his services he was award
ed two congressional medals of honor. These
were fanked by an offer of the Victorian Cross,
and army distinguished service medal, a navy
distinguished service medal and a bervet medal.
He was a brigadier at SO and a major general
nine years later. Throughout his career he dis
played exceptional qualities of leadership, cour-
age and clear thinking. Clearly his Quaker
blood was we'll stocked with red corpuscles.

FRANCE YIELDS
Calendar

France is gone. The French armistice dele
cation, at the time this is written, had complet-
ed negotiations with Germany and was about
to take up the signing of an armistice with
Italy. That MussoI1NI will demand as heavy
sacrifices as his axis partner is not to he doubt
ed.
The final peace is still to come but there is
little fore to exact. The complete terms are
still unrevealed but from what has leaked out
at Berlin they will include the complete dom
ination of the country it's resources it's wealth,
it's people. A thousand years of progress, OF
civilization, of honor, of liberty, of integrity,
are drowned in blood.
Nor is that all. France must aid Germany in
it's continuing battle with England. Whatever
it has left of manpower and war materials
must be employed against an ally-the remain
ing European outpost of resistance against to-
talitarianism.
It would seem, at first glance, that the an
swer to the Nazis is entirely in their favor. But
is it? Nation after nation has bowed to Their
will, succumbeu to their superior armed might
But it is inconceivable that the French people
destined to wear the German yoke for a time
can yield the indomitable spirit that carried
them through the hell of Flanders and northern
France, of the fall of Paris, of the deadly daily
grind of hopeless conflict, and become perpet
ual serfs. For a time, in their present crushed
condition, it is inevitable that the victor shoulc

conquered by arms or by oppression. This is

arly against the bootlegging racket which was
largely shielded by political bosses, he sought
to conduct the Department OF Public Safety
with a code of discipline as strict as that OF
the marines. and in consequence was dismis,
sed by the mayor after less than two years OF
service. PHILADELPHIA, apparently, wanted sur
face purity with the undercurrents undisturb-
ed, a situation BUTLER could not understand,
condone or assist.
BUTLER was that way. He knew but one OBJ
jective-to clean up whatever needed cleaning
up. It was what carried him from rank to high
err rank in Cuba, the Philippines, Nicaragua,
China, Mexico, Haiti and France. No task was
too risky for him to undertake. He went to
Mexico City as a spy; he charged a bandit fort
in Haiti; he carried duckboards with his men
at Brest to said the landing Of the American
Expeditionary Force in France during the
World war; in Cuba he dismounted from his
horse at Quantico to carry the pack of a sick
Marine.
At the end, as %througout his brilliant life, he
adhered to the belief that America should keep
it's fighting men at home. He wanted the arm
ed force of the nation maintained for home
service. Perhaps, had he lived to see the threat
to North and South and Cntral America at its
worst he would have revised his code to n
clude the neighbors among the homefolk, and
supported the principle of defense for the other
republicas as a national obligation.

R R AROUND

HITLER chalks up another, but this time g
bloodless, victory in the about-face of Ru
mania. King CAROL comes under the Nazi ban
ner as a means-he believes-of national pres
e%rvation. The pledge of protection given by
France and England, while the war was still
young, is no longer potent. In the hope of main;
tanning his boundaries and escaping the heavy
burdens further adherence to the alliance with
Paris and London would place upon his people
and country, he takes refuge under the bloody
wing of the fuehrer. 1t is not the decision a
stronger man would make, but it at least is
understandable.
What it means is that HITLER will have access
to Rumania's rich petroleum resources and, if
necessary, a defendable frontier against Rus
sian encroachment upon Bessarabia. Both will
have a large influence upon the Nazi campaign
against England. HITLER's mind may be at rest,
as far as STAIN is concerned, on a disputable
line of attack, and his airplanes and motorized
forces may be supplied with fuel, from lack of
which both branches of his military might
have been recently slowed down.
Rumania has become a desirable prize for
other European powers. Russia, as noted, has
an eye on Bessarabia. Hungary and Bulgaria
both have been seeking boundary ~readjust-
ments. France and England, upon which CAROL
has relied for protection, are impotent to help
in the crisis. So the iron guard, the Nazi fifth
column of Rumania, which was supposed to
have been eradicated, with many executions
and wholesale Imprisonment of leaders, comes
into power and CAROL probably will be another
puppet of Germany's spreading power.
The Nazis have no new military weapon.
They have however, a very effective psychology
ical weapon-fear. CAROL is it's latest victim.
Who will be next?
