CHOICE:
Philosophy

When it came to a choice between
Stain and Hitler-and it looked as if
many Americans might be faced
with choice before very long
some conservative Americans pre-
ferred Hitler, while many liberal
Americans preferred Stain. All
commentators were coming to real
lie that the Russo-German pact of
August, 1889, was basically unsound,
politically, economically, and ideo-
logically.
About the only things that Com
munist Russia and Fascist Germany
had in common, were dictatorial
means-to achieve 100 per cent diff
ferent ends. And when it came to
dictatorialmeans, Daladier's France
and Churchills England had both
employed them-to uphold democ-
racy. Political experts made the mat
ter clear. Fascism is "aristocratic. ="
democracy is "middle-class," and
Communism is "proletarian. ANY
one of these three systems can be
upheld by dictatorship, but the two
lunatic fringes lean on dictatorship
more than democracy.

THE WAR:
Oper London

England, and more particularly
London, felt the full fury of total
aerial warfare as Nazi bombers
swarmed over the English channel
in what seemed like one reverend
ing bombing mission.
Some u. S. war correspondents
(writing under British censorship
declared that the Germans had Civ
en- up any attempt to aim at military
detectives before dropping their tons
of high explosives, but merely found
their way over the city and dropped
the bombs without regard for what
they might strike below. Germany
denied these charges, saying that
their airmen were aiming at points
of military advantage to England
and if civilians were killed or hurt
it was mot on purpose" Just how
many persons were killed in these
terrific raids could not accurately
be determined.
One thing was sure however. Ger
many had worked out definite plan
of bombing attack. First, planes
carrying incendiary bombs circled
over the city dropping their loads
to start fires which served as flares
to light the target of those to fol-
low. Defending planes of the royal
air force and anti-aircraft fire at
first held the invaders away from
the interior of the city. But the con-
tinuous attacks, coupled with such
a large numerical advantage in Ger
man planes and pilots made it inn
possible for the British to keep the
enemy from doing great deal of
real damage.

King Carol and his red-headed
sweetheart, Magda Wolff-Lupescu,
fled away from their ex-Rumania.
Carols 18-year-old son, Michael, in

ael has been king before-from 1927
to 1880, when Carol was in exile.
In 1890, Carol came back from his
Paris hideaway, and ousted his lit
tie son by an army coup. Now, the
army had kicked Carol out, and

with slip covers made, as shown

became a side chair for the living

John Cripps is the son of Sir Stat
ford Cripps, England's radical am
bassador to Russia. Son John is
a conscientious objector, who thinks
the war is totally un-Christian. The
British draft board sentenced young
Cripps to work in the garden, two
days per week.
The u. S. navy was considering
the purchase of III. Edward Man
ville's private yacht, the Hi-Esmar0.
It is a 267-foot affair, worth a mil
lion and quarter, in anybody's good
mazuma. 1t has an excellent steel
hull, and could be used for a naval
training ship. It was launched in
1929, the year of the depression. J..
p. Morgan, of Morgan's, turned over
his super-yacht to the British navy
some time back, it seems.
Ex-King Carol of Rumania was
shrinking with his ex-kingdom. Carol
was pudgy and fattish. But he lost
80 pounds in hardly any time at all.
1t was announced that Mrs. Chang
Kai-shek, the Observation-Disclosures
wife of Generalissimo Chang, would
fly from China to Washington, to
confer with Mr.. Roosevelt. The Chi
angs are Methodists, like Mr.. Will
kie. Mr.. Roosevelt is an Episcopali-
an. Hitler and Browder are (nomi-
naD Catholics. Churchill is an Eight

Stain was educated as an Orthodox
priest. Lady Astor and Lord Lothian

In the last war, the Germans had
the Hindenburg line. Then came the
Inflated Maginot line. It was faced
by the German Siegfried line. Italy
has a Lictor line. Finland had a
Mannerheim line. Rumania pos
sessed Carol line. England still
holds the 20-mile Channel line. The
Czechs once boosted a Sudeten line.
Some of them worked, and some of
them didn't. The Roosevelt Knox
lines looked almost alright, and
some military critics said that less
ened the need for peace-time Yankee
conscriptioneering. Others said: No.
MORE & MORE:
Without End
Oliver Twist asked for "more."
So did extreme anglophiles, and sem
timental Tories. We gave England
the so destroyers, with part of the
American people protesting vigor-
ously. That was not enough. The
anglophiles just mentioned, demand
ed ''more" in stentorian tones. These
people wanted to give Mr.. Churchill:
l. At least 20 motor torpedo-boats,
for channel work.
2. A large number (half) of our
crack flying fortresses, to bomb East
Prussia and Poland.
8. A large number Of seaplanes,
for submarine spotting, etc.
4. All our tanks, for use in the
Mediterranean region.
Peculiar?
1t was announced that we had al
ready given the British 10000 ma
chine guns, 100000 rifles, and $50
field guns, with ''huge stocks of am
munition. One out of every four
armed Britishers, said the same
source, is carrying an American
weapon of some sort. Some people
felt those so average destroyers
were merely meant for a legal or
illegal precedent, to break the ice,
and enmesh Uncle Sam still deeper
in the European mess. AS for the
British islands, said these critics,
America could have had them free,
by holding up airplane shipments,
and waving the banner of the still
unpaid war debt, from World wal

Cost of War

Americas generosity toward its

Civil and Spanish-American wars.

during these wars, $3.50 was later

RUSSIA:
Its Entry

More and more people were count
ing on Russia entering the war
against Hitler. They were leaning
on it heavily in England, and would
tell you so. The Chamberlain big
business faction was against this al
lance, but the Churchill militarists-
plus-British Labor (the present cab
met set-up) had no such scruples.
Meanwhile, Russia called up more
and more men, and Germany sent
11l of her 8 million soldiers least. "
More and more people in America
were watching this development.
American business men do not like
Russia any better than before, and
the American churches feel the same
way. If these people faced an An
glo-Russian alliance, they would fear
that England had been "commu-
nized" and "atheized." That would
mean less American enthusiasm for
the Churchill dictatorship, and an
increased strength for the America
isolationists. This, at the moment,
was the keynote in politics for the
entire world.

A young German pilot was shot
down by British Spitfre, over Eng
land. They put him in prisoners
train, en- route for the hoosegow.
When the train stopped at siding,
an English lady was collecting vol
unteer funds for more Spitfires. AS
a joke, she pushed her collection box
in to the young German flyer. With
a courteous gesture, the Goering fly
ing-circus man smiled, and contrib
uted the German equivalent of 81.
The same day, another German
aviator was shot down over Eng
land. The British victor, so the yarn
goes, flew low, circled lower, and
tossed him a package of cigarettes.
The German waved his thanks. The
age of chivalry is not dead. To
make this statement letter-perfect,
it might be remembered that in the
true age of chivalry, the knights
were very chivalrous to each 9TH
er, but were pretty hard on women,
children, and commoners.
The Spitfire collection fund, men.
toned above, is called the David
and Goliath" fund. On account of
this name, every Briton named Da-
vid, Davies, or Davidson has been
asked to contribute to it, in order
to promote the ''heroic onslaught
against the Philistine of Naziism.

brought back the boy again. Michael
had pretty well grown up, since his
first infantile venture in the king
ship.
Gen. John Antonescu, a really
tough general, assumed an Iron
Guard dictatorship: in other words,
a Rumanian Nazi dictatorship. John
is violently anti-Russian, and a big
red-baiter from way back. He want
ed to fight Russia, when Stain
grabbed Rumanian Bessarabia and
the Bukovina. But Carol shut him
up in monastery, where he fright
ened the monks half to death by his
man-eating ways. He is, roughly,
the same type as the Italian gen.
eral, so-tough Rudi Graziani, who
took Italo Balbo's place as governor
of Italo-North Africa.
Losing Ways
Rumania was losing territory all
along the line. The Russians had
taken Bessarabia and the Bukovina.
The Hungarians had northern Tran
sylvania, after some rough-housing.
The little Bulgarians took southern
Dobrudja, which they were eminent
ly entitled to, as Churchill, Hitler
and Stain all admitted, for once in
agreement. The red-baiters and Fas-
cists in Rumania were willing to
yield land to Hungary, but wanted
to fight Russia. The pinks and left
lists in Rumania were willing to yield
land to Russia, but wanted to fight
Hungary.
