THE NEW ORDER IN VIENNA

A man claiming to be neutral observer-if indeed there any such in December of 194o- has contributed to The Times of London a descrip- ton of present conditions in Vienna, from which city he has just returned His story should sadden all who remember the carefree days The city has escaped the hombngs which have fallen so heavily on London, but its plight is than Londons for the heart has gone out of it. The spirit that was Vienna's is more
 The city says the observer, is gray and listless the people weary and threadbare. Of the goods that made shop windows attractive such as remain are marked sold" they there only for show The delicate confectionery is replaced by papier- mache and dummy packets of chocolate. In the cafes are only empty tables waiter asked: Why should people come here? There has been no real coffee for year. They know in advance what is printed in the newspapers. Friends dare not talk here for the ears of the Gestapo are everywhere Our old Vienna is dead
 The observer saw flags out, by order, to welcome the Foreign Ministers arrived for the carving up of Rumania, but the crowds" reported by the Ger man newspapers as assembling to greet Ribbentrop Ciano and the rest actually comprised the protective guard of Schuetzstaffel press photographers and group of indifferent onlookers mo more numerous than might assemble around street ven- dor exhibiting mechanical toy Even Gestapo terrorism has failed to quench the malicious skept- cisn inherent in the Vennese. woman told the observer: we must take sides If we do not speak out sometimes we will burst" Another asked: Do you really believe called Hitler in?"
 From hotel porter came this How could l be pro-Naz? I cannot know what day they will come to take me out road-naking or send me to Germany though I have wife and child here. v A girl typist said. Do you know what happened today in my office? German came in and said and tino tn Of girls They have to go to Germany and work in munition factories"

in wages pleading the needs of his family. His employer pointed out that to pay him more would be unlawful The man gave up his job and went in quest of another but the next day the Gestapo came for him and took him back to the old employment at the old pay. There instances of kind-hearted employers secretly suppementing earnings although it is against the law Others closing up all together.
 The Jews are worst off. They work like slaves under supervision and for starvation wages. Jews may not go to the cinema theatre, park, sit on the public seats, swim in public baths or play in public places They not allowed in the streets after pm in summer and pm in winter. They have lost their old homes and herded together in novels in the poorest section. The Sara for women, Israel" for is stamped on their identity papers and "J" on their ration cards so that they may be served only between 2 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon when most supplies are sold out They buy milk for their children, and vegetables only when there is surplus
 Most seem to dream of escaping somehow, whether penniless not beyond the frontier of Nazi domination and starting new life elsewhere. Viennese listen surrepttiously to the London radio broadcass and the constant theme in closed circles is the possibility of British victory. Remember" {" they told the observer, this is not our war; 1t is Germany's, though our youth is forced to fight in it."
 These are the conditions under the new order" that Hitler has created in the land of his birth. What can it become except a center of unrest and sabotage if and when the tide of fortune begins to run against Nazi Germany?

PLANES TO GREECE

Desperate Greece IS now peseech- ing the United States for airplanes, and the State Department has an- nounced that the request is being given 'sympathetic" consideration Not many people know it, but State Department red tape once cut off the shipment of 30 Bellanca bomb ing planes ordered by the Greek Minister of Aviation.
 This was about two years ago, when the State Department was in the habit of pointing an accus- ing finger at any small nation or dering arms, especially if the career boys suspected that the arms might be trans-shipped to aid Loyalist Spain
 The 30 Bellancas were listed as training" planes, though they could be equipped with bomb racks over night. However, when the Ameri- can Minister in Athens, Lincoln MacVeagh Ca relative of Mrs. Roo sevelt's,) cabled the State Depart ment for an export license, he got peremptory No" Joseph Green, in charge of the State Departmentf Munitions Control Board, Wantec to know why Greece, such a little

FINLAND AND GREECE

In direct contrast is the response If the American public to the hero- ic stand taken by Greece and to the equally heroic stand taken by Fin land against Russia.
 A tremendous drive, headed by Herbert Hoover and joined by elite social organizations all over the country, raised money for the Films But although some money is being ,aised for the Greeks, the enthus- iasm has not reached anywhere near the same scale as that for the Films.
 This may result from the increas- ed callousness of the American pub lie toward war. Or it may be be- ,ause Herbert Hoover is not whoop- ng it up for the Greeks.
 However, the outcome of tht Greek Italian war will mean ia nore to the outcome of the entire war than the battle of Finland For if the Greeks succeed in hold 'ng off Italy for any great length If time, it will be. a terrific blow to he prestige of the Axis.
 The military odds, of course, are n favor of the much stronger Ital- an army in any long war. And in he end, Greece may suffer the same ate as Finland-especially if Ger many comes to Italy's rescue trough Bulgaria.

mission in pleasant speeches that carry treacherous suggestion. AL though care will be taken to pro- tect the unwary, danger neverthe- less will Turk in schools and col leges as well as among the in- telligentsia and those less well educated.
 International Affairs: The Unit ed States will become the target for hostile dictators who will look with covetous eyes upon the peace time prosperity of nation allied in sympathy and helpfulness to brave Britain. Many efforts will be made to bring us into, the Euro pean war The stars seem to fore cast an untoward incident meant to be a deliberate provocation. The Pacific Ocean will be the place of a real naval battle at an early date, it is foretold.
 Persons whose. birthdate it is have the augury of year of pro- gress, although obstacles must be surmounted. Romance and marriage for many are indicated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be persistent and ambiti- ous. Boys born in the morning may follow naval or military career.

Ambassador Kennedy

(New York Times)
 The American people would be ungrateful Il they did not recognize and remember the good work which Ambassador Kennedy did for them in London. In some ways he the most effective Ambassador there since the wise and capable Mir Houghton, in the Coolidge years. When specific jobs had to be done, MT. Kennedy dynamo of energy and common sense, whether his assignment concerned the safety and evacuation of American citizens abroad, the rubber cotton barter or any one of a thousand other tasks which the President and the State Department know well done. He did not spare himself when the bombs were falling, or when there still seemed to be hundred-to-one chance to avert the coming Some day the files of the State Department will show how hard the President strove to bring sense to the madmen who were bent on aggressive In that great but tragic effort MT. Kennedy played his part to the full
 If his real services clouded by "off-the- record" interviews, MT Kennedy has only himself to blame Unguarded talk always of the defects of his qualities in London; another was a reliance upon lunches rather than cool analysis. His friends always knew how to discount of his ingrained goom the British did not, with the result that some of them now brand him as a "defeatist" because he the appalling weakness of British and French armaments Yet he must also know the inner strength of democracy; for in his broadcast just before the election he said "The very advantages which democracy has for the long run, namely, fundamental vitality, voluntary cooperation and capacity for sustained and grue- ing effort become disadvantages in the task of preparing for a that it thinks may never happen"
 MT Kennedy has now resigned with the promise that he will devote himself to helping the President keep the United States out of war" There is one way to do it: by speeding help to Great Britain so that it defeats the dictators threatening security. Mr. Kennedy himself suggested in his broadcast that "crusading effort for rearmament' is needed in this country If he applies his energies to this crusade, his countrymen will have added reason to be grateful to him.

 NOTE-Joe Kennedy, one of Roo- sevelt's close personal friends, was one of the most popular American Ambassadors ever to serve Ill Lon den. He stuck at his post during the rain of death which hti all around the Embassy, but for nearly a year has felt that England was fighting a hopeless war.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not cOmpe"
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15

This is an uncertain day in planetary direction. The morning hours may be disturbing mentally but the inclination to borrow trou- ble should not be entertained There is favorable sign for the clergy.
 Heart and Home: This is a day for attending church where spiri- tual leadership will gain influence. The stars indicate return to re- ligious observances. Two faiths, the oldest and the newest, are to per- form important service among the young men training for national defense, it is forecast. Through many tribulations the people of the United States are to return to their early standards of living.
 Business Affairs: The stars pres age for this week the most extra ordinary trade, for holiday buying is to be amazingly generous. While certain industries may slow down for the annual Christmas ceiema- tions the outlook for coming weeks is read as most promising. Indus try will hum, but labor troubles again are foreseen. Manufacturers who speed production may meet obstacles which will be overcome.
 National Issues: Democracy in the truest sense now will be'stressed as secret enemies preach class con sciousness. Social lines of every sort will vanish in coming months, 1t is prophesied. and true Ameri- canism will make no distinctions regarding race or creed. Women's clubs are to become of great serv- ice in teaching the best citizen ship.
 International Affairs: The Unit ed States Navy is to make a record of gallant service in the Pa- cific Storms of great severity will have an effect upon an interna- tional difficulty. An accident to a giant airship has been foretold. Im- portant diplomats from the Orient will visit Washington where there will be grave international issues discussed. The power of the na- tion will be recognized as domin- ant in the future alignment 9 of the nations of the world. Persons whose birthdate it. is have the augury of year of pros perity. Health should be safe- guarded. Care of refugees is indi- cated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be serious and thought full, highly intelligent and extreme ly independent. They are born un- der lucky star. ..

ister and other bigwigs.
 The interview With the Emperor never came off, but Sayre did set Foreign Minister Arita, who pro- posed that the U. s. High Commis- sioner to the Philippines act as se- cret intermediary at Hongkone conference between representative! of Japan and General Chiang Kali Shek.
 Naturally Commissioner Sayre wa flattered, but he had to tell the Foreign Minister that he was ir Japan only unofficially. And wher the matter was reported back to the State Department, Sayre got g scorching call-down from Acting Secretary of State Welles. The tone of Welles' message was such that t must have been OK's by the President personally.
 What made Sayre's schoolboy di- plomacy so embarrassing for the State Department was that it came just as the United States had been taking firm diplomatic stand in the Far East, and urging the Brit lSh in effect to stand pat regard 'ng the use of the Burma Road chief munitions route for the Chin ese army. The State Department long has believed, under both Re- publican and Democratic Adminis- 'rations, that Japan would accept 10 peace in China unless she took over all of North China, and that my peace overtures by the United States were only misunderstood as sign of American weakness.
 Despite this call-down, Commis- iioner Sayre made other calls on high Japanese Government offic- ials, but finally left Tokyo a very much rebuked and modified rowing ambassador.

 Benefic aspects rule today which should be most fortunate for all lines of business. It is a date promising for merchants and manufacturers. Labor is well di- rected.

Love affairs should flourish.
 Business Affairs: Christmas trade will be more profitable than usual. Retail merchants will be extremely lucky this year, which is to be a banner time toward which to look back in the future.
