War Worry Is Useless

Work hard and play hard, but don't
worry about the war situation any more
than you can possibly help. That's
eminently sane advice. Medical journals
report rise in the number OF mental
cases requiring treatment in the last two
months. 1t may be due to too much
respondent brooding about the war, es-
pecially among younger men and women.
This, OF course, does nobody any good.
One cannot shut eyes and ears to what is
going on in the world. That would be
unWise even II one could do 1t. But mere
depression over things beyond the indi-
vidual control does no good, either to the
individual or in solving the problem.
Every generation and every time has
had Its problems and It's tragedies. The
only course Is to do what must be done
and do 1t with vigor and clear head.
Beyond that, people do well to work hard
at their jobs, indulge in all customary
recreation and play, and try as far as
possible to avoid worry. Even II the worst
happens, Is 1t not bad enough to endure
that without having gone through 1t IN
imagination thousand times before?

Finishing touches are now being placed
on a new Constitution for Cuba. It pro-
vides not only president, elected for four
years, but a premier appointed by him
but subject to removal at any time he
may lose the confidence of the House OF
Representatives. Thus Cuba devises an
interesting combination between the
American presidency and the British
prime ministry.
When the South and Central American
countries first broke away from Spanish
colonial rule, almost all adopted consti-
tutions based on that of the United States.
Many of them did not work too well. Re-
peated revisions, both by deliberative, and
more or less violent means, have taken
place in most countries.
The new Cuban proposal, arrived at by
an orderly Constituent Assembly, will be
a most interesting one to watch It
might solve the problem Of the heavy
burden of executive power, whose many
responsibilities have in recent years
caused the presidency in the United
States to be denounced as "nan-killing
lob"

ference for Hawks, and when the
reporters arrived they found them
selves beieng carefully scrutinized
by two very obvious plain clothes
men.
"Whaps the ldea?" q newsman
asked.
Bargeron could throw no light
on the matter, SO the reporter
asked one Of the cops.
I'VE got o tip" he replied,
shat this guy Harry Bridges
was here and we came 10 keep
an eye on him."
NOTE-The "H" In Bridges
name stands for Henry. Quipped
the irrepressible Bargeron, eyes,
SIR, boys, It's just what I've al
ways commended. This convention
has either gto 70 nominate Bridges
or deport him."
MERRY-GO-RoUND
Pennsylvania boss Joe Pew was
not exaggerating when he declared,
This IL an independent conven-
tion". It's 80 independent that
the delegates are elbowing the
bosses out OF the camp and clam
hering on the Willkie bandwagon.
Former Senator George Mos
Is Of New Hampshire has aged @
bit since he was q Washington
headliner, but his wit Is as razor
sharp as ever. Cracked Moses,
"There will be o lot OF disap-
pointments when the convention Is
over, but appointments will heal
oil wounds" In his drive to
grab New England delegates, Will
kie propositioned Senator Styles
Bridges TO be his floor manager.
What with managing
the convention, holding endless
conferences, and numerous radit
and press engagements, hard
working National Chairman John
Hamilton has averaged less than
five hours sleep O night.

Van Wyck Mason
As PriYateersman

r. Van Wyck Mason has three
stories to tell In Star on the Sea,
(Lippincott: $2.75)--the story OF
Tim Bennett, son Of New Eng
land trader who wanted to be @
priyateer; the story OF Desire Har-
fnony Bennett, his sister, 10 whom
war and love brought @ succession
OF tragic misadventureS; and the
story OF the beginning OF the
American navy. Only O skillful
author could tackle this assignment
and produce q readable, integrated
account OF the Revolutionary War
on the sea.
While Tim BENEFITS adventures
occupy the greater part OF the
novel, and the birth OF the navy
supplies historical background, II is
the tragedy Of Desire Harmony Ben
nett that holds the reader.
Desire was the daughter OF o
stern Quaker shipowner; she loved
A British naval officer, found him
dead after redcoats raided and
burned her home. Fleeing IN shame
and fear from her own people, De-
hire lives briefly with Nat CONN
an American officer, later moves
into the south with @ rowing
shakespearean actor. The actor
murdered, she finds friends In
Charleston-which provides OPP
portunity for description OF the
Siege OF the city-almost meets Nat
Coffin again. Her brothers. friend,
rough backwoodsman. flarries her
and she finds final release In the
hills Of Kentucky.
Tins story Is simpler. He de-
serted the army, accompanied the
ilrst u. 8. marines In the attack Oh
the aBhGmas, gets his privateer and
promptly loses II. But he comes
home at last, disappointed In one
love affair. to find his first sweet
heart waiting and promise OF Q
future as O naval officer.
Don't get the impression that
Masofi's novel is @ series Of discori-
nected histories. II Is not. Rather
II Is an intensely interesting ac-
count Of an almost untoched por-
ton OF colonial history.

SPEAK SOFTLY, AND CARRY A
BIG CLUB" Is STILL GOOD
ADVICE
vineland, N. j.,
June 20, 1910.

June 20, 1910.
Editor OF The Democrat:
Speak softly and carry q big
club" That was the profound ad-
vice Of an earlier Roosevelt II was
good advice when given - II Is good
advice now.
The sooner and the bigger we cut
our club the better - especially the
sooner. II we are not attacked
within the next twelve months we
stand q good chance Of not being
attacked at all - unless Germany
conquers both England and the So
Wet Union In which case Hitler
could In time outbuild us by O suf-
ficient margin to make our success
full invasion likely.
TO prevent this we should give all
the aid that we can spare short OF
war, to England now and II neces-
sary to the Soviet Union later on.
At the same time we must not for
get to speak softly. The war has
been unpopular among the masses In
Germany from the very beginning,
and as the casualty lists are pub
lished II will become even more So
We should remember how wilson's
Fourteen Points penetrated into the
minds OF the German people In 1915
and greatly hastened their decision
10 seek peace.
To speak softly this time would
mean to offer q new set OF Four
teen Points, including redistribu-
ton of colonies, equal access to raw
materials, freer movement Of emit
grants and capital, and complete
destruction Of that crazy-quilt ol
high tariffs, quotas and currency
manipulations which wrecked inter-
national commerce and helped bring
Hitler into power.
"speak softly and carry q BIG
club Let's face Germany with
very heavy stick In one hand ant
In the other q genuine offer Of Q
better world for everybody, including
the Germans.
Yours very truly,

hope Of getting back into the White
House, and the determination Of the
thick nd-thin peace group that the
Republican party should swing
sharply away from anything resem-
bling the Roosevelt foreign policy.
II was all planned on the definite
belief that there would be q dead
lock which would leave the principal
contenders hog-tied and open the
way for nomination OF dark horse.
And II was Raymond Motley who
quietly slipped over from New York
to help put the speech In shape.
NOBODY IN POSITION
OF BOSS
Another extremely important an
gle to the plans which were hung
on this speech Is the fact that this
particular Republican convention
has been Embossed TO the point Of
confusion.
On the surface, the set-up was
ideal for one Of those famous
"smoke-fllled room" propositions -
q little group OF bosses sitting back
and deciding who was TO be the
nominee.
But there hasn't been any boss In
the position to deliver a really de-
cisive bloc Of votes to anybody. Any
"smoke-filled room" to be decisive
here would have to be about the
size OF the main concourse OF the
Union Station.
Most OF the delegates came UNI
pledged. Many Of those who were
listed as sure for Dewey" or sure
for Taft were men who had agreed
to cast certain number Of votes
for q given candidate but who were
free as the air once they had de-
cided to stop voting for him. The
candidate might enjoy their votes,
but not the ability to turn them
over TO anybody else.
Result Of all this was that win.
ming the nomination swiftly devel-
oped into q Job Of selling an individ-
ual 10 the delegates themselves,
rather than making o deal with one
or two key figures.
WILKES STRENGTH
AND WEAKNESS
This fact has been both the.
strength and the weakness. Of the
Wendell Willkie campaign.
A word or two ought to be said
about the campaign, as one Of the
most adroit. smooth, expert bits OF
political promotion on record. 1t
was ideally designed for the problem
the Willkie boom faced, because II
was primarily a selling Job aimed
at the rank and file-and o selling
Job was exactly what the situation
called for.
But at the same time, Willkie as
O candidate undoubtedly faced more
sales resistance on the part OF the
rank and file than any other candi..
date. 1t Is probably fair To say that
when the convention opened very
large majority Of the delegates did
not Want Willkie.

Not long ago book called 1.-THE Con-
vent got quite bit OF publicity. How
ever, despite some rather startling revela-
tons IT caused only mild ripple among
readers, and proved only tepid sensa-
ton. 1t was written by an ex-1un sup
posedly telling the story Of her own ex-
periences within convent walls. She
brought out some unpleasant happen
ings and described not too nice condi.
tons. Somehow or other the book did
not make much Of a stir; at least 1t would
seem that way, and no one got particu-
larry excited about 1t. Reviewers said
the book had Its points. In the mean
time an investigation was made, so we
read recently, and this particular con-
vent in a particular country was looked
up. There was no such convent, so
named or described. A far different pic
ture OF a community Of nuns Is given In
a recent publication written by Rev. John
L. Bonn, formerly Of this city, whose
$50 Falls the Elm Tree" Is sincere b.
ography written in novel form, and, which
Is being widely read at the present time,
both by religious and lay people.

Our Own Markets

Foreign trade, for the period OF the war
and perhaps afterward, is sick OF gallop-
ing consumption. 1t cannot be carried
on in any solid manner while the war
Is on. It's future after the war is obscure.
Therefore 1t Is cheering to note that trade
with our own territories and island pos
sessions Is fourishing. Last year Alaska,
Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Isl
ands bought 1926, 100000 worth OF goods
from the United States.
That Is 100000 more than In 1898
and was exceeded only by the United
Kingdom and Canada. Exports to Alaska
alone, for instance, were exceeded by only
eight OF 81 European countries. Surely
this suggests that In aggressive develop.
rnent OF Its own territories the United
States can compensate for war losses In
trade, and build for the future a trade
not subject to postwar confusions.
