no better than did Roosevelt. 1t was
true, DIRECTORS said, that British in

times as large as those of the

CAMPAIGN:
Home Stretch

AS the 1910 campaign entered its
final stages it continued to follow the
outline established following the ma
jor party conventions. Willkie con-
tinued to make most of the speeches
for his party and Henry Wallace
was the busiest political speaker of
the Democratic party.
WILKES speeches grew more Wig
orous as the campaign drew toward
a close and Roosevelt's rare "po-
litical' appearances still possessed
the same pattern of 1882 and 1886.
Public opinion polls came in for
their share of the praise and abuse.
When the Gallup poll showed that
Candidate Roosevelt would more
than likely carry the election, the
Republicans countered with the
Dunn survey, reputed to show Can
didate Willkie out in front.

ITALY,:
Indifferent

Virginia Gayda, Mussolini's jour.
nalist stooge at Rome, denied that
the so-called Axis was out to defeat
Mr.. Roosevelt. Gayda said that
Italy was Indifferent. Just the
same, Italy was touchy. The local
authorities ordered the expulsion of
the famous Herbert Matthews, New
York Times correspondent, because
che falsely stated that Italy and the
Axis would interfere in the United
States presidential election" The
Romans claimed that Signor Mat
thews tended to disturb relations be-
tween Italia and Columbia.
Signor Matthews knows all about
pauper Italy-at-war. He was in the
Ethiopian war, as a correspondent,
and also in the Spanish civil strife,
where Italians were rife. He is con-
sidered tops, professionally, as well
as honest and objective, plus con-
science. He wrote an exceedingly
good book on Spain & Ethiopia.

STYLES:
Anti-papaL?

The pope addressed 10000 Italian
young women. He objected vigor-
ously to up-to-date fashions and cos
metics. He also warned against bad
novels (some say they're all bad
nowadays), plays, movies, and
amusement hotspots.
Said the pope: "You should ask
your conscience, before putting on a
frock, how Jesus Christ would Judge
it." He also spoke for peace, and
repair of the fruitless devastation
of the late-lamented past year.
The Vatican showed anxiety lest
England and America start wooing
atheist Russia, as a counter-weight
to -Mikado-H Hitler. World
Catholicism still regards Stain as
the No. foeman, and perhaps not
without reason. But Earl Browder,
the bad redboy, had another view
point altogether, for he suggested a

THE WAR:
Boiling Balkans

Always a question mark in the in
trigue of European politics, the Bal
kan states again are claiming their
share of the world spotlight.
When Adolf Hitler's troops
marched into Rumania to protect"
Rumanian oil fields and train" Ru-
manian soldiers, military experts
wondered what effect this would
have on the attitude of Soviet Russia
toward the axis powers. For Rus
STA, too, is interested in Rumania.
More than this Russia is vitality in
terested in any eastward expansion
of the Hitler regime.
At first Berlin reported that Mos
cow knew and approved of this in
filtration. Then news began to come
in that the Soviet troops were on
the march toward the Rumanian
border. Two Rumanian patrol boats
on the Danube were reported sunk
by the Russians. In the strategic
area around the mouth of the Dan
ube both the German and Russian
forces were reported to be speedily
strengthening their military posi-
tons.
Just what Hitler's plans in the
Balkans are remained, of course, a
closely guarded military secret.
There was much speculation center
ing around two possible motives in
addition to the avowed aid in train
ing Rumanian troops and the protec-
ton of the oil fields, so vital to the
German war machine These specu-
lative motives were: (D perhaps the
axis powers were attempting to
draw attention away from the British
Isles in order to launch some sort
of a surprise tactic against England,
or (2) Germany was using the Bal
kan route for a march to drive the
British out of the eastern Mediter-
ranean regions.

PLANES:
Estimates

According to one conservative
British estimator, the Germans have
lost close to $500 planes in the Sec
ond world war. This is a whale of
an estimate. The planes would be
worth around half a billion dollars,
which is a lot of money, and in
marks is astronomical.
Not only that. There was more
to it. The same estimator estimat-
ed that the Germans had lost 500
pilots. Pilots are much harder to
replace than mere airplanes, be they
Messerschmitts, Heinkels, Junkers,
or Dorniers. II was figured that
the Germans had lost three times
as many bombers (Heinkels, Junk
ers) as they had fighters (Messer-
schmitts made in Augsburg. Most
of these planes had Mercedes-Benz
motors, built in the old Zeppelin
works on Lake Constance, at Mann
helm, and Stuttgart. The Mercedes
plants have been badly bombed by
the royal air force.
Germany was supposed to have an
air force of approximately 10000
planes and 25,OOO-30, 900 pilots. The
sensational British figures were
probably topheavy, as is usual in
aerial warfare.
Kinder
Germany might have lost those
$500 and 1880, but the Londoners
didn't take it to heart. The London
county council advised all mothers,
in its complete % areas, to evacuate
themselves and their children in
toto. In addition, everybody of IS
or over, and the infrm of body,
were told to get out and stay out.
These provisions had previously been
applied only to the IA worst local
areas, and the spread-over to 20,
