omic bloc in Europe won't be able to get what 1t wants on It's own terms.
 The British Empire is not avail able, as yet. as a reservoir of sup ply. Russia hasn't enough raw ma terials for her own needs. and her politial tack of recent weeks indi- cates she wouldn't send them to the rest of Europe under Hitler even if she had surpluses. So that leaves the American nations as the best source of supply for Europe.
 Amerian foreign-policy makers tell you off the record that they have no desire to starve the people of Europe. But if American surplus es are going to be used for relief in Europe, they want them so lab elled and hope to make Hitler tell the people who receive American re- lief that his system did not produce their food.
 Unoffielally, an American repres- entatiYe in Berlin already has been told by the German under-secretary of agriculture that Germany has no surplus of grain to feed the millions of Europe this winter.
 The American case is based on the belief that Hitler will have a hard time explaining how Naziism is the greatest of all systems, when starvation and famine and bank ruptcy begin to spread over Eur ope,

tables have been turned and it's up 10 the Democrats to stop the man that Old Guard Republicans could n't.
 Just how 1t is to be done is even now being worked out behind the scenes. It won't be long before the first opposition guns will be fired. President Roosevelt and his admin istration have never been ones to sit around and see what's going to happen Nobody has ever accused the President of being short on political strategy or long on leisure
 Exactly what turn the battle will take is almost impossible for me or even the experts to envision now. But it's going to be exciting enough so that even the kibitzer can get into a lather about it. As for the politicians. It looks like a tough summer and for some of them-an early fall.

 Let's dig a little deeper and I'll tell you why they are so certain about it.

 There's no need now to analyze it. but it's a sort of all-American approach. Willkie is a well-edueated Indiana farmer. and that's what he talks like. He's no spellbinder and he's no Billy Sunday-William Jen- nings Bryan But he does have something of all of those which he combines with a disarming intim- acy He seems to say, even when he's talking on the radio, Gather around folks, I'll tell you all I know and what [ don't know.

FOLLOWING THROUGH
By PEDRO AGUILAR

NOW IS THE TIME a series can
be played before the year is over
to determine the baseball cham
pionship team of 1910.
The writer believes this is the
way it can be done, providing the
weather permits:
Pirates, Conchs and Troians en-
gage in an elimination. Pirates
and Conchs meet Sunday, De-
cember l: Pirates and Trojans,
Sunday, December 8; Conchs and
Troians, Sunday, December IS.
The two clubs that have won
two of the games will play the
deciding contest for the cham
pionship on Christmas Day.
Or, if the Pirates have won one
and lost one, and the Conchs or
Trojans possess the same percent
age, then a contest could be play
ed on December % to determine
which club can win two games.
We believe this method will
prove which club is the champion
nine of 1910 in the Island City. At
present we have none, for the
Conchs, although leading the Is
land City League, have not played
the Trojans. The above plan will
eliminate all doubt.
