national viewpoint-free from the pressure
Of daily and hourly deadlines-to bring the

The Neutro|s

The guns in France fired shots heard
truly around the world. To Russia the
shots sounded loud and near.
Soviet troops marched into unresist-
ing Eston1a and Latvia, climaxing a
series of swift moves which
BoItic consolidated Russias posi-
Seethes ton in the Baltic. Ger
many controls the Baltic
shore from Denmark to the border of
Lithuania, which Russia already domi-
mates. At weeks end Turkey, French
and British n-belligerent ally, rushed
troops toward Dardanelles, strategic
waterway joining Black Sea with Medi-
terranean Sea, in apprehension lest Rus
sia throw her line southwark in further
effort to strengthen herself against the
rising German power.
Rumania heard the rumble in France.

carried the plenipotentiaries off to Rome,
to make truce with Italy. The arm
istice with Germany stipulated effective
ness when France and Italy come to
terms. The conditions are still state
secrets. Just ~ hours and 20 minutes
passed between Col. Gen. Keitel's read
ing of the preamble and his signing Of
the whole document.
In far-off Instanbul, Turkey, and
from the Forest of Compiegne Leland
Stowe of the Chicago Daily News and
Louis P. Lochner of the Associated Press,
two of the most famous American Jour-
nalists in Europe, reported that the
quick truce would be followed by almost
as quick a permanent peace
The Nazi authority to whom Mr.. Stowe
spoke in Istanbul predicted that Hitler
would set up his own model OF political
and economic European federation and
that this will be subdivided
HItler's into three or four groups of
Eurone nations, each linked together
along economic and geo.
graphical lines. Not only would the
European nations governments be mod
eled politically on National Socialist
lines, but their national armies would be
abolished.
All this, said Mr.. Stowe and Mr.. Loch-
ner, would be aside from the English
campaign. Hitler is represented now as
feeling England has no connection with
the continent. The spokesman for Hit
ler's proposed European system declared
that the continent would be swiftly
organized into an economic bloc which
would be designed to cneckmate "the
Anglo-American economic bloc" Russia
would be voiceless in this peace.

publican government in a French bank
The sympathies of French and British
reactionaries were notoriously against
the democratic government of Spain.
When, by German and italian aid the
Spanish Fascists suppressed the repub-
lie, Petain was chosen by Bonnet to be
the first French Ambassador to the die
tator's court. Weygand was notoriously
a man of extreme right sympathies. He
never took an active part in politics. but
he was the idol and ultimate hope of the
French Fascist and Royalist cliques.
IT the Petain-W -Weygand government
ends in humiliating peace, French pride
and patriotism will never forget nor for
give those who despaired of the republic
in its agony. On the other hand, the
Radical Socialist party, which represents
the more moderate elements of the left,
is unfortunately discredited by its feeble
handling of foreign affairs in Spain and
Czecho-Slovakia and its failure to pre-
pare for war.
Too Many Conservatives.
In Britain, discredit for this culpable,
caIamltouS negligence will fall on the
parties of the right, who have had the
management Of our affairs for the past
nine years. As Churchill reminded them,
There are too many in It,"
The war, however, is not over and it is
too soon yet to forecast the repercus-
sions. There is one prevalent impress
sion that exists today in democratic
countries of general disillusion-
ment with the men at the top.
So far, the peace terms of Germany
and italy have not been published. It is
assumed they will be stern. If they are
too severe, Marshal Petain may refuse
to append his signature.
The experiment which has been tried
In America of introducing men of an
other party into the Government during
a period of emergency is naturally cre-
ating great interest here. It Is charac-
teristic Of the Presidents realistic au-
dacity and 1t has made favorable i'm
preston in this country.

Foch and Weygand were historic
combination of gifts that make for real
generalship. Petain and Weygand did
not supplement each others defects
they simply doubled them. Hence, this
pitiable end to a glorious battle for right
and liberty.
There is one aspect to this surrender
which will have permanent influence
on the political destinies of France. This
throwing up Of hands before the end Of
the battle has been engineered by a
cabinet of the extreme right. The French
left had neither part nor lot in it.
Both Petain and Weygand are def
nitely men of the right. Petain is the
man who, during the recent Spanish civil
war, arranged for handing over to Gen.
Franco the Spanish fleet, which had
found refuge in French harbors, and Of
the gold deposited by the Spanish Re-

LLOYD GEORGE ASSA|LS FRENCH RlGHT|STS
Noted Bion Sees Realistic Audocity Change
By David lloyd dGerse

LONDON.-It is indeed queer war;"
Up to Friday morning no one could tell
whether France was in or out The
French premier, after a consultation
with the President of the French republic
and the commander of the French Army,
issued an order days ago that French
soldiers were to cease firing. Sections
of them still are firing on an advancing
foe.
Some of them are putting up a half
hearted resistance which does not seri-
ously impede the German progress to
the south, while considerable bodies of
organized French troops are elsewhere
offering stout stubborn resistance. The
forces in the lower regions of the Maginot
Line have not surrendered and the
valiant Alpinists of Jura are preparing
to defend their mountains.
The commander of the naval port of
Toulon also VOWS he is not prepared to
give in.
Petain Cautious General.
Marshal Petain, who hauled up the
white flag, won immortal renown by his
defense of Verdun. Nevertheless his
qualities as a general always have been
characterized more by caution than by
combativeness. He never displayed the
indomitable spirit of Foch, who saved
France from irretrievable disaster in the
rout of March, 1918.
That defeat was largely attributable
to Petain's timidity in refusing to take
the risk of moving divisions from the
southern front of his line to create a
mass of maneuver" behind Amiens when
the German blow was impending. Ever
after the blow had fallen with smashing
effect, he Aesitated and dithered. Had
not FoCh been called in by the British
and French governments to retrieve the
situation the Germans would have sep
arated the Allied armies and reached the
Channel. o..
Weygand possesses all the attributes
Of an exceptionally brilliant chief of
staff, but he never commanded an army
in the stricken field. He never possessed
the decision and daring Of his great chief.

Traffic in the downtown district is unusually heavy, and it will be more so in the few days before Christmas so leave your cars home when possible while shopping, {" Police Supt. William J. Roach ad- vised today. Everyone seeking available space to park their car, will mean congestion" Superintend- ent Roach pointed out, "so use other means of transportation"
 The superintendent stated the pedestrian also can help, by using crosswalks. Every crosswalk has an officer on duty, and there are thirty-fi extra police assigned the downtown district"
 Odds are against the pedestrian, and even more so than usual, in the din and whirl of pre-holiday traffic. So, MT. and Mrs. Pedes- trian please cooperate. Do not cross in the middle of intersections or dodge out from behind parked auto mobiles. Go to the crossWalks where you will find policeman who will gladly see you across the street in safety.

HITLER'S RECORD BITTERLY SCORED
CYO Debaters Win Deci- sion Opposing Hoover
 Plan to Feed Europe

Hitler's record of broken prom ises" was cited last evening by Cath olic Youth Organization debaterS as one reason why the United States shrould not attempt to undertake the task fo feeding the hungry nations of Europe" The purpose of the English blockade to bring about the quick submission of the Nazi and their ally, Italy, was stressed also as the lesser of two evils = temporary physical suffering or a general spiritual breakdown of all Europe.
 The opposing teams in the week ly debates sponsored by the Knights of Columbus and the c. Y. O. were representative of the Church of the Immaculate Conception and St. Thomas parish. The former was given the decision of the judges and in the opinion of the winners the United States should not attempt to feed the hungry Democracies' now under the domination of Ger many. The time will come later when the United States can show its sympathy, but until Hitler,s de- feat is accomplished no effort should be made to ship food into Europe. The Nazis will seize it for themselves. Hitlers promises mean nothing in the light of events of the past year" claimed the victor ious team.
 St. Thomas speakers held it to be Americas duty to relieve distress among the victims of the war. Eng land could keep a close watch on proceedings and restore the block ade if Germany failed to keep it's promise. Former President Hoover was quoted to some length by the young speakers. He favors the plan. His success in feeding Belgium our- ing the World War was cited.
 The speakers for the Immaculate Conception c. Y. O. were the Misses Betty Donaf1ue, Peggy Reidt and Ann Wethered. Miss Reidy conduc- ted the rebuttal. Sto. Thomas team was composed of Orrin Hubbard, Miss Marion Wolfe and Miss Lucille Burney, with John Tangney as al- ternate.
 The judges of the evening were T. P. Cassidy, superintendent of the Waterbury office of the Prudential Life Insurance Company; James J. Carr of the Metropolitan Life h. surance Company and George Cas- Sidy of the John J. Horan agency.
