Bargain Day on Ideorogies

If Adolf Hitler's first offensive against
the United States is going to be intensi-
fled propaganda directed toward the Latin
Americas, there seems to be no rule IN
the game that says we can't move IN
and try the same stunt. 1t is automatic
that Hiter's initial design against the
United States would be to surround us
with totalitarian nations, hostile to our
own form of government, and to scare
the daylightS out of us. If he could drive
a wedge into Pan American solidarity,
American defense might be materially
damaged.
For a long time, Nazi influences have
been filtering into South and Central
America, working on popular opinion. For
Czechoslovakia, Poland, Norway and all
the rest, there was less subtle way. For
the distant Americas, Der Fuehrer be-
1ieves, deity directed propaganda may
do the trick Well, the United States can
play at that game. We can play it as
Hitler doesn't - honestly, openly, with
out the receptions and hatreds that are
part of the Nazi scheme.
The United States has something very
definite to sell: security for everyone
within the western hemisphere. We stand
to gain no more than any other Pan
American country. We have no imperial
istic programs up our sleeve. We offer no
more than chance at prosperity, a
chance at freedom, chance to live in
world of peace. 1t sounds like pretty
good bill of goods. 1t sounds lot better
than the Nazi prospectus. Americans
have enjoyed it for more than $50 years.
There's ample reason to believe that the
rest of the Americas will recognize the
advantages of superior product.
But we've got to tell them about it.
We've got to blare it at them louder than
the Nazis are doing. It's got to sound
sincere and real and awfully good. Both
programs are represented as being sound
Investments. We've got to show them
down there that ours really is and
then point in contrast to the shackled
nations of Europe. Two united CONT
nents will prove too large a challenge
even to a Hitler. The dictators must recog-
nize their limitations. The war of words
south of the Rio Grande may be the pre-
lude to the Battle of America. If Hitler
loses it, there may be no battle. If he
wins, we may have to keep our hands on
our Six-shooters The United States had
better start talking and the talk had
better be good.

Don't Be a Sponge!

One of the best warnings about tltth
Column activities to appear lately is in
a little booklet issued by the Veterans OF
Foreign Wars. These Americans, all OF
whom have known clearly and circum-
stantially just how various Nazl, Fascist,
Communist and native quasi-fascist or
CARNATIONS work, and through whom.
Without hysteria, the writer's warn all
Americans to be on the alert for Such
activities native and imported, and II
they seem really subversive to report
them to proper authority for investlga-
ton. Nothing is gained, and much lost
by amateur vigilante attempts to remedy
these situations. Injustice is more likely
to result than justice.
But there is one thing all of us can do.
That is to stop and think when people
babble into our ears. The keynote OF all
Fifth Column activity is to create con-
fusion in the minds of the people. AS
farmers first step is to pillow and harrow
his field before ne plants his crop, SO the
Fifth Columnist first ploWs and harroWs
the mind of his victim, making 1t ready
for his seeds of discomfort. "They begin,
usually" cautions the VFW pamphlet,
"by attacking the Jews, whom they re-
gard as the weakest minority in the land.
-. The objective, as always, is to divide
the population by creating hatred, AMI
mostly and prejudice. Once the cracks
in national unity begin to appear, the
offensive doubles its forces and strikes
next at the Catholics. Soon the labor
unions feel the brGnt of the Fifth Column
attack. Then comes the system of private
enterprise And finally, the forms and ira
ditions of democratic government itself
are assaulted"
That is a fair outline of the approach.
This does not mean that anyone who
speaks to you in such vein is necessarily
a Fifth Columnist. But it does mean
that thoughtless talk along such lines
serves the same purpose. The remedy?
Use your head. To all talk appealing to
prejudice and fear, to hatred and despair,
ask yourself the sober question, is there
any sense of this?" If there isn't, tell
yourself so with electric force-and an
swer back. Don't be sponge, absorbing
everything fed to it. Think. A sponge
can absorb great amount of slop, but
after it has done SO, it's all wet.

''Tbe Mob HowIs"

Some of those who charged President
Roosevelt with stirring up class hatred
are themselves unconsciously, but uner-
ringly, the worst offenders. They them
selves are the very breeders of class feel
ing. How they can be SO obtuse defies
understanding. For example, Mr.. Will
kie spoke to a large gathering in Phila-
delphia. His audience cheered him. That
audience was described as a cheering
throng". No one called it mob.
President Roosevelt also spoke to
another large gathering in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Willkie himself and his friends had
dared Mr. Roosevelt to take the plat
form to speak to that audience. That
audience cheered Mr.. Roosevelt. Promptly
some of those who had dared Mr.. RooSe-
welt to speak called his audience 'howl-
ing mob. Can any sane person think
that there is no class hatred in the dis
tinction that calls one audience cheer
ing throng and another bowling mob?
From the viewpoint of political advan-
tage President RQosevelt's supporters
could hope that Mr.. WILKES friends
would continue to- show such class
hatred. From the far more important
viewpoint of patriotism and the common
welfare every thoughtful citizen, regard
less of political utilization, shivers when
he sees Mr. WILKES friends blindly
raising ill-Will between classes.
Neither Mr.. WILKES supporters nor
Mr.. Roosevelt's supporters are bowling
mob. Cordell Hull, Henry Wallace, Sec
rotary Stimson and long list of eminent
and eminently respectable citizens do not
constitute mob nor do their friends at
a political rally. One the other hand
Senator Taft, Joseph Martin, Senator
McNary, and an equally long list of emf
nent and eminently respectable citizens
do not constitute a mob nor do their
friends at political rally.
In the name of common sense how
can anyone be so dull as not to know
that to refer to an audience that ap-
plauds the Presiednt of the United States
as bowling mob is the mode par excel
lence to raise class hatred on both sides
of the political fence? What must hap
pen before some of the leaders of public
opinion will couch their more temperate
words?

Helping Brazil Make Steel

First step by the Import Export
Bank since it's resources were recently
increased was to lend $2O,000,0OO to
Brazil to build steel plants. Brazil has
the ore. Now it will get the plants. You
might think that the immediate effect
of this would be to cut off one more mar
ket for American-made steel, and of
course it may work that way to some
extent. But the u S. action is taken in
the belief that there is something more
important. It is this: sooner or later a
great country like Brazil is going to have
steel plants anyway. The tendency of
developing countries to begin producing
for themselves some of the things we sell
them is not to be halted.
But if Brazil's dependence on us for
steel is reduced, her dependence on
Europe for steel will be reduced even
more, and her balance of trade will in
crease likewise. The future development
of our trade with South America lies not
along the line of further concessions to
exploit natural resources, but in helping
the other American countries to build
up stable, independent economies. AS
their standards of living rise, they will
become progressively better markets for
a wider variety of goods.

A Thousand Ships

The poet sang of the face "that
launched thousand ships" He meant
Helen of Troy. But what of the face
that sank thousand ships, the ugly
face of war? In the past Is months,
accurate TALES show that thousand
naval and merchant ships have been
sunk. Put out of your mind for the
moment, if you can, the cry of 1877 men,
women and children who slid down to a
cold and watery death on the decks of
those ships. Think only of the ships
themselves.
Into every ship went savings from the
labor of men. Into each went plans and
dreams and rivets and plates and thou
sand intricate devices and little triumphs
over practical problems. No such fleet
has ever been assembled, but if those ships
could have paraded in line, and each
minute one had sunk as it approached
reviewing stand, the CHASTITY parade
would have continued for more than 16
hours.
The reviewers would cry, "Such waste,
such careless prodigality is intolerable!"
But it is not intolerable. Mankind toler
ates it.

makes us clinch our fists and tear
our hair and stamp our feet and
declare we won't stand it is the
fact that certain people do not feed
our ego. They do not defer to us.
They do not f1atter US. They do
not slap us on the back every time
we pass them and declare that it's
a swell day, even though it may be
the most wretched day imaginable.
We like the people who cheer us,
who tell us we are better than we
really are, who by their attitudes
give us a sense of self-sufficiency.
But all such people are bad for us.
What we need to do in this life is
to face the truth, and the friend
who is friend indeed often holds
looking glass before our faces and
calls upon us in the name of God
to take one look and grow sick with
revulSion and shame.
Good friends often leave scars,
and these scars are the badges of
their friendship. The cheerful fell
low who carries with him plenty of
ingredients to lubrie re every situa-
ton and make life easy is Satan's
most sinister messenger sept to dew
astate our souls.

Selected Poem
PETER PAN IN KENs1NGToN GARDENS: 1910

PETER PAN IN KENSINGTON GARDENS: 1910
(Deirdre Shannon Knox in the New York Times)
They gather round me and disturb my rest.
With torch by night, and mute my pipes my day
With mutterings of fear, and what they say
Fantastic and intoerable jest
I cannot believe. These my friends, this sky
Whic his my roof; within that strip of blue
There is no Death; fits well my foot, this shoe
OF elder earth, this grass is pleasing high,
These flowers are my own. Where children played
A day ago. Ete workman and his spade
Dig fearfully grave for living men
To hide themselves in, from the wrath insane,
OF fellow-men. I shall be left to grieve
Alone for love, till, crumbling too leave
Only the rose upon the broken sod,
With twisted dying roots, to stare at God!

VITAL NEWS
(Boston Post)

The most thrilling and vital news
item of the year concerns not the
war, nor an important parsonage,
but an announcement made by the
American College Of Surgeons that
the number of persons who have
been cured of cancer, after a FIVE
year treatment, has increased by
5000 over a similar census taken
three years ago.
1t brightens the outlook of diff
f1cult medical problem upon which
scientists and doctors have been
working for years. To the victims
of this pernicious ailment, stricken
without discrimination, it brings
hope. and the qualities of real ac-
complishment and strong hope
make living both full and beautiful.
