Welles' visit was no exception.
Just as the United States, as the
largest and most powerful nation Of
the Western Hemisphere, has as
sumed obligations for all America 50
tar as interference from European
or Asiatic powers Is concerned. Ger
many-so Hitler's argument Is said
to have run-considers 1t her moral
obligation to see to it that her
Central European living space be
guaranteed once and for all from
ever recurring interference by Great
Britain and France.
With American illustrations ever
handy, Hitler is said to have asked
Mr.. Welles what the United States
would do If some Asiatic or European
power tried to stir up trouble in
Mexico.
Whether Mr.. Welles answered was
not disclosed nor was there any in
dication to what extent he felt him.
self authorized to answer any
rhetorical questions.
In other words, Hitler demanded
permanent German hegemony over
Bohemia Moravia, Slovakia, Poland
and Hungary-with q joint popula-
ton of about 130, 900 y000-and guar
antees that Great Britain and
France would not stir up Balkan or
Scandinavian countries.
But that was only one, although
an important phase Of the Informs

sources said. Equally important was
bis insistence on freedom Of the seas.
'o IA Points Believed Cited :
Here-as, indeed on numerous
points-Hitler is. believed to have
invoked the II points OF Woodrow
Wilson and demanded their fulfill,
hent Is condition to an orderly
governed postwar world.
It Is the Fuehrers thesis that the
seas never can be considered free 50
long as Britain has military control
Of all the important trade lanes in
Europe and Asia and can at any time
choke of young aspiring nations
such as Fascist Italy and Nazi
Germany.
In this connection, he is said to
have put another poser to Mr..
Welles: How would the United
States like it II some non-American
power had control Of the Panama
Canal?"
This discussion naturally led to
the question of disarmament, which
Germany knows is especially dear
to President Roosevelt, Cordeu Hull.

DEAR 3D.

DEAR ED:-
Here's my number one column.
That is, it's my first story. So
there's nothing like starting off
with real scoop. When the
MendelsOhns get together there's
always something exciting about
to happen. Now comes the flash.
Miss ROselyn MendelsOhn of Live
Oak is engaged to Sidney Mendel-
sOhn of Tallahassee. This an
nOuncement comes as a delightful
surprise to friends of this popular
couple. We add congratulations.
Another engagement, already
announced, yet of interest to her
friends throughout the state is
that of Miss Jeanette Kronenfield
of Miami.
Have you noticed Miss Marga-
ret FISHER in town a great deal
the past Week-ends? They tell
us she's seeing RED, if you know
what 1 mean. And while we're
on these out of tOWners, rumOr
has it that Saul w. is that way
about a certain kosher girl from
Birmingham.

Haym Solomon : 174O-194O

On January 6 few newspapers carried obscure
little item reporting that that day in Philadelphia
Jews visited the of Haym Salomon whose remains

The occasion of this modest pilgrimage the 2OOh birth
dav of the Jewish immigrant from Lssa Poland, who be-
came one of the great patriots and nancers of the Amer
can Revolutionary War.
To say this is to bring into sharp focus of the most
honca situations in American Jewry for aside from this
news em buried where the public large could hardly
it. SaIomon's bi-centennia was completely ignored.
SaOmOns patriotic role has received proper
IGNITION in the pages of American history Only scholars
and research workers who deved into the diaries of Robert
Morris and into various historical documents in the Library
Congress and other sources knew SalOmOns story and
realized that he ranked great figure alongside other
Founding Fathers But in recent years his has been
brought before the public and open and his deeds
have been exOled many occasions by public leaders.
Three years ago the u S. Congress by joint action of
the Senate and House adopted bill expressing the nations
Indebtedness to Solomon and resolving to erect monument
him public soil in Washington funds for the
statue would become available from private And
now it announced that joint memorial to Washington,

So, You Think You Know Chatter?
BY R. o. BERG

Of special interest to a few
fellows in town is the announce
ment that Philip Selber has been
invited as guest speaker for the
Augusta A. 2. A. chapter next
week. Well let you fellows know
what day it is so you can try for
that date with the girl friend.
Bernie Davis and his E. d. have
(finally) set the date of their
wedding. The lucky day is March
8 (194O, of cOurse).
Have you noticed the julius
Fletcher wedding gift going up
so nicely on Post Street? It
should be ready for occupancy
soon, I understand.
Do you think I've startled your
reading public enough for this
time? OF course 1 have much
much more exciting news for next
week. So I'll close quoting the
new year card that Mark Helm
ger sent to Walter WinchelI:-
"a happy New Year, Fourth of
July, YOm Kippur and Hitler's
Funeral"

She didn't say it quite so bluntly,
but Bette Davis thinks her public
should see more of her legs.
To such an end the queen of
motion picture dramatic actresses is
willing, even anxious. to become a
cowgirl or musical comedy dancer
at least for a picture or so.
"One of these days." she reasoned,
"they're going 10 have to cover me
up. And if you ask me, that's soon
enough"
She spoke her piece perched atop
q high STOOL flowing brown dress
draped almost to the floor. It's one
OF her costumes in "All This and
Heaven, Too in which she plays a
French governess who gets tangled
up in the affairs of Charles Boyer.
She's so serious about having her
public see her smile and her trim
angles that you shouldn't even be
surprised if some bright morning
her boss, the canny Jack Warner,
announces she and John Garfield
will be starred in a musical
They've already approached him
on the subject. Bette is enthusi-
astic. So is Garfield, who's been
complaining about playing roles of

been registered publicly.

ing the pretty smile audiences so
seldom see. In fact, it would be
lots of fun to play anything to get
away from soured historical char
acters. I'd like modern comedy,
for example"
She's done nothing both modern
and light for some years-in fact
not since she achieved stardom
Dark Victory was modern, but not
on the light side. Bette wants to
see the sunshine, too
I'm hold my breath" she con-
fided, hoping that Frank Capra
will find SON ethig along that line.
I couldn't play slapstick and I'm
doubtful about screwball comedy.
But I'm pretty certain about some
thing humorous, particularly if Mr..
Capra thinks it's all right. After
all, comedy can't be successful
unless director has tlair for that
sort of thing"
Cara is now affiliated with the
Warmers. They are extremely proud
of acquiring such a consistent win
ner of academy directing awards
and are going to all lengths to make
him happy. It's almost certain that

indications now are that the Sea-
