Are We Aiming?

The air is so full of requests from
the White House for money for de-
tense, and of reports of bills pass
ing Congress and being signed by
the President that there has scarce
ly been opportunity to get in word
as to what is actually being done
toward adequate arming. 1t has
been Il month or more since we
first were seized with the prepared
ness hvStcra, and the lapse of that
much time should have brought us
to the point where it is good ethics
to ask for a report on what has been
accomplished up to now.
Arc We armng, or arc we only
doing 4 lot of loud talking about
what VIC are going to do, and voting
"a lot of money that VIC haven't got
and thinking that by mere snap OF
the finger and presto change" we
shall have an army, Il navy and an
air force that arc invinGiblc?
How about some one somewhere
taking the people into confidence and
informing them us TO just what they
are actually getting along this line
Most Of LIS GAN with better grace and
less cuSSing submit to the ShcarinG

Hitler Technique

Adolf Hitler may have told 4 news

crn hemisphere was "grotcSquc.'
Mr.. Webster gives us one meaning
of that word the definition Of abb
surd."
When the purported Interview
was related to President Roosevelt
he merely commented that 1T brings
up recollcctions, adding that his re-
mark could be. enlarged on with
dates and nations, going back over
quite period Cf years. All OF
which is true.
In less than a week before Hitler
invaded Holland and Belgium he
gave the two countries assurances
that Germany had no designs on
them. He said he was occupying
Norway and Denmark to protect
them, when they were mcnaced no.
where and by no one but himself
This sort of technique quoted fears
Of the little nations and lullcd them
into peaceful sleep, so peaceful in
deed that when the blitZkriCg cN-
ploded in their faces they were sc
shocked as to be virtually paralyzco
beyond the ability to offer any ef'
fectivc defense whatever.
But Honorable Adolf will not find
this country sleeping. We have moi
watched from the sidelincs Just Iol

plain that the wayfaring man, though
fool, may read, there will be nc

In the face of overwhelming odds.

There will be little criticism Of the
French decision to cvacuatc Paris
and leave it to the Germans rather
than suffer that great drcamland city

attempt to defend it would have
meant its ruin, because the NaZiS

Oxygen Mask Is Found
To Ease Heart Pam

CHICAGO, April 1S-CP-use Oh
a newly-developed oxygen mask mas
resulted in the discovery that IN
halation of oxygen in high concen'
trations produces dramatic" abate'
ment of intense heart. pain.
Oxygen in proportions ranging
from 50. to 100 per cent gave com,
plete relief from pain in severe
cases in which large doses of mar,
cotics and sedatives - the usual
treatment - failed.
Continued uccess with the strong
oxygen treatment would give ply
sicians a powerful weapon to com
bat two of the most painful and
serious diseases coronary throm'
boisis, a blocked artery, and severe
angina pectoris, an acute chest
pang" due to spasm of the sys'
temic arteries, usually in connec'
ton with heart disease.
A report telling of striking bene'
fits obtained by this method was
made today in the Journal of the
American Medical association by
DR.. Edward w. Boland of Los
Angeles, who is associated with st.
Vincent's hospital and the Univer-
sity of southern California School
