Most politically minded people in
this city have taken it for granted
that, ut some not too distant mo-
ment, little Switzerland would dis
appear into the German vital
space" with or without resistance.
In the plans attributed to the Rib
bentrop Bureau published in this
country, September 2D Switzerland
Il ito 60 to Germany, Italy and
France, according to language"
Yet, somehow, the months pass and
nothing happens to the Swiss.
Perhaps q clue Is contained In q
remarkable speech, made in a series
OF public popular lectures" at Basel,
October II, by Col. Oskar Frey Of
the Swiss army.
Col. Frey began by admitting that
many Swiss are nervous over their
country's situation, completely sur
rounded by nations all on one side
IN the war now raging. But, he
continued, this nervousness is not
justified and will not be shared by
Swiss mindful of their country's
historical role This role, thanks to
which Switzerland exists as an in
dependent country, Is to gaurd the
Alpine passes.
Could Destroy Tunnels.
These passes. and tunnels that
have largely supplanted them, carry
an amazing amount of merchandise.
If one observes the stuff that daily
passes through the Loetchberg,
Simplon and st. Gothard tunnels,
the Importance Of this mission be-
comes clear.
Now" said the Colonel, "you can
see what it would mean if, in answer
to an attack, we Swiss should de-
liberately destroy these tunnels and
put them out of commission, not
for a few days or months, but for
years. (Col. Frey did not say so,

By the Associated Press.

BS the Associated Press
The British Embassy last night
released the following tert OF the
speech Which Lord Lothian, Brit
ish Ambassador to the United
States, yesterday broadcast to the
American people from London:
wanted to consult with my gov
eminent. but I was even more
anxious to find out how my fellow
countrymen and countrywomen felt
and acted under conditions of mod
ern total war. Only after seeing
this for myself could I represent
them properly in the United States.
1t has been an inspiring expert
ence, making one humble in the
face OF so much quiet endurance
and courage. War is total with
all classes of the community. men,
women and children: old. middle
aged and young-and not soldiers,
sailors and airmen alone-in daily
danger of death or mutilation by
enemy action, and especially when
all cheerfully accept these risks and
dlscomforts as a. matter of course
for a common cause.
Go Calmly About Tasks.
BY far the most impressive fact
about Britain today is the way in
which the people, especially those of
London and the other great cities,
go about their daily duties in a
calm. unhurried, regular war. For
every day the guns spout shrapnel
into the skies, all of which comes
down again, and bombs crash down.
smashing life and property and ex-
acting their toll of sleeplessness and
suffering. In the past armies and
navles and air forces have learned
and displayed this endurance and
courage and take it for granted
and 1t has been accepted as the
mark. the quality of the soldier.
In this way airmen of the r. AT.
the sailors of the navy and the
men of the army. especially at
Dlmkerque, have certainly shown
courage and a fighting capacity as
great as any in our history.
But the new and characteristic
feature of this war is that the whole
civilian population bears the risks
OF the armed forces and that an
immense number of women are
playing their part, in uniform. quite
naturally, alongside the men in
each of the three services-in the
alr-raid patrol, the medical, fire
fighting and rescue squads-appar-
emily entirely Indifferent to danger.
Many Going to Country.
The loss of life, of course, is moth
Ing like what it was in the SAN
culinary battles of the last war.
Women and children and old people
are being evacuated to the country
from the most bombed areas, and
properly provided shelters are grad
ually being constructed for an in
creasing proportion of those who
live in town. so that they can sleep
In comparative security and quiet
at night.
Nonetheless, the old prevailing
menace of war surely reaches a
larger proportion of the popula-
ton than in any previous war, be-
