Windsor May Charter
Special Plane For Trip

LISBON, July 17.-P-Reliable
sources said tonight they believed
the Duke of Windsor probably would
charter a special flying boat for his
flight to his new post as governor
general and commander-in-chief of
the Bahamas instead of taking a
Pan-American clipper.
1t was learned from Pan-American
officials that the Duke and his
Duchess, the former Wallis Warfield
Simpson, thus far have not booked
clipper passage.

On Democracy the sewers OF
him its only associations were
homicide and madness. This de-
partment has noted recently IL COM
parable attacks on this subversive
word from similarly respectable and
authoritative sources. The latest is
the address by Merwin X. Hart, at
the Union League club in which Mr..
Hart suspected" that the word was
eased into the country, subversively,
by the Communist Internationale in
1895.
This thesis, which may devel-
op into something of an Amer
lean "kulturkampf," is based on
the contention that the founding
fathers set up not a democracy,
but republic, and that the
word, democracy" is insepa-
rable from Dubious Marxist as
sociations. Mr.. Hart also insists
that the Marxists have kidnapped
the word "liberal," which was
all right until it got into bad
company.
MIR. Hart is president of the New
York State Economic council. He
has been for many years vigorous
and hard-hitting assailant of radical
ism in any form. He shells the
"subversionists" from his estate on
Pippin hill near Utica. His targets
have been labor unions, child labor
legislation, social insurance, social
lied medicine, compulsory health
insurance and extravagant expendi-
lures for public education.
Graduated from Harvard in
1904, MIR. Hart has made his
business career in insurance,
law and manufa curing. He
was gassed in the war, is q Ii
censed aviator and a patron of
aviation. He urges national dis
cipline. In his Union League ad-
dress he warned us that we are
becoming too soft to stand up
against the tougher products
that result from fascist educa-

ARMY SPECTATORS

Real estate spectators long have
been sore spot in army plans for
plant and airport sites by swapping
up options and kiting the price of
desired property.
So hard-hitting Assistant War Sec
rotary Robert Patterson has insti-
tuted new procedure whereby the
army, after making the necessary
confidential surveys, will announce
publicly that on a given date rep
resentatives will appear to buy or
lease a specified amount of land.
Patterson believes that if property
owners know that the government
is in the market, they will not give
options to profiteering spectators.

lack OF training, with perhaps a
total Ignorance Of politeness and
manners, with inconsistencies and
strangeness and unhappiness.
All these children won't come from
the better homes. We have many
OF those fortunate babies already;
the ones who could come over with
good nurse in charge, and are
rapturously absorbed by rich grand
mothers and friends. Most of the
children who are coming will be-
nave much as our own American
children would if they were suddenly
transplanted from New York or Bos-
ton or any other American city and
suddenly transported to England.
Ernest Thompson-Seton once gave
In one OF his books the jungle's rule:
ii it's strange, it's hostile" and
children still retain many Of the in

In handling these guests we must
use infinite patience and tact, and
an entirely unreasonable amount of
kindness. They mustn't be disci-
plined, or subjected to rules, even
as much as our own children are.
No woman who wants to shelter one
should undertake it unless she Is
willing to regard the experiment

poets no surety Of personal pleasure

Keep Arrivals Together.
My own hope is that America,
rather than scattering the small
English arrivals, will keep many of
them together in something as like
great boarding-school as possible:
will find good-hearted Englishwomen
who will understand them, and act
as nurses, cooks, guardians, teach
ers for them. That would seem to
me far truer hospitality than the
seemingly-kindlier one of giving
them to individual foster-mothers in
scattered homes.
There must be in our various cit
les many empty buildings that could
easily be fitted with cots and lock-
ers and refectory tables, and
equipped very simply to meet the
needs of small children. There are

T is a real Joy and satisfac-
ton to the hearts of Arneri-
= can women to know that we
are to have as our guests this
year several thousand little
refugees from war-torn Eng
land.
That they are trusting us with
their children at this time is sure
proof of the confidence and af-
lection that naturally exists be-
tween the two great countries.
Even those Of us who have been
most positive against any plan
of Intervention in this or any
other foreign combat, are eager
to extend a welcome to the
small girls and boys who are to
be sent away for awhile to
safety.
So they will come trooping over;
they will file down from the ships a
little scared and more than a little
homesick; they will be absorbed into
thousands of homes. And for a few
days all will be harmony, interest,
eagerness to make them feel COM
Portable and happy.
For a few days. Then the real
test will come for both visitors and
visited. And we must all hope that
when this test comes we will not fail.
Again America Sets Example.
This Is perhaps the first time in
the history Of the world that one
nation has thus extended hospitality
to the children Of another. America
Is often first in setting some exam
pie that the whole world presently
follows. And surely she has never
originated a more important one
than this. If it succeeds we will
have knitted our hearts to those of
England forever. Trade treaties,
franchises, taxes, these are cold
blooded necessities between nations,
and misunderstanding and bitter
ness may easily upset them. But
when we say to their children:
Come to us for safety and kindness
and good times and friendship" we
do something that goes far higher
than any business agreement goes;
we begin new type of international
exchange that may be the opening
of better day.
If it had been the fashion in Eu-
rope, during the past 600 or 300
years, to exchange children when
children were in danger, how diff
ferent might be the history of the
world! For we have to remember
that the alignment of warning forces
has been different in all the wars.
For example, 20 years ago French
children might well have been sent
into Italy or Spain, for France and
Italy were on the same side then.
Russia might well have welcomed
English children, for Russia was one
of England's allies.
So that this is very solemn and
significant thing that we are doing.
We are saying to England: I'VE be
of one blood, thou and l." We are
saving her the keenest pang that
her danger knows, the fear for her
children, and we are proving that,
even though we are not with her in
war, what we can do for her with
out war we are eager to do.
Creates Domestic Problem.
But the taking of strange child
into any home is q serious thing. II
that child is a small baby it means
that one woman's time is given COM
pletely over to the baby. II the child
is older-and the ages of these chill
dren supposedly will range from 8
to is, then the problem is infinitely
complicated. Instead Of straight
