Hunger in Europe

Ambassador Cudahy, IN London Gil
route home from his post us ambaS-
Sador TO what once WAS Belgium,
+ says famine, or conditions closely
bordering on that, already exists in
that country, which in the late
spring fell victim to the advance
and devastation Of the German
steam roller. Reports have lately
come from Europe Of similar hard
ships that may be expected ON Il
large part Of the continent during
the coming winter.
Signs are not lacking that the
American people are being prepared
for an intensive drive for money to
feed these lnfUrtlmatcS and TO avert
actual starvation Of thousands, pos
Sibly millions. before another crop
can be made. There have been in
timationS that the ruthless NaZi
invaders nave seized virtually all
the food in sight in the conquered
nations and have either consumed
it themselves or sent ii back to
Germany to avoid trouble for Hitler
there.
II Americans. out OF the goodness
of their heart, will feed the hungry
population. it will to that extent
help the Germans. Their problem
would be made the simpler at no cost
to them. They are, Of course, not
concerned whether these people live
or die, 50 long us they can achieve
their own Unholy purposes. 1t would
not be above them TO induce Amer
leans to send food 10 the natives. only
to seize even that for themselves.
1t would be hCartlcSS attitude
if adopted, but it is perhaps a fact
that the hungrier the people Of the
conquered nations become, the soon
CT will they revolt against the Nazis,
and the more difficult ii would be
for the invaders to organize the oc-
cupicd tcrritoriticS. If by refusing
food this could be brought about,
it might in the long run be a means
to the ends sought.
Red Cross appeals for popular sup
port Of campaigns to undcrWritc huge
food shipments abroad already have
run into convictions on the part Of
some people who refuse to give in
the expressed belief that food sent
to Europe is going into German
hands rather than alleviation Of SUI
fcring by victims Of the Nazi con-
quest. And there will be more of
this. The more territory Germany
scizcs the greater will become the
suspicion here that it will be almost
impossible for needy populations to
benefit from American generosity.
Whatever Hitler may attempt
against the British Isles, he may have
4 new and different problem on his
hands when spring comes again after
the approaching winter, especially if

Lindbergh's Views

Lindbergh's Views
Colonel Lindbergh no longer IS the
idol OF America that he was dozen
years ago after his epoch-makins
solo flight across the Atlantic. But
we are not among those who profess
to see in him 4 leader OF fifth col
umn activities in this COUNT.
The hero worship heap " %"

notaa 2l;oIjc figure. It seemed to
have oiled him. too. Whether
any significance is attached to his
views or not. q mere expression from
him has hitherto tor years been OF
interest and matter for discussion
by the people. His now-and-then
radio speeches may be accorded more
Importance IN his own mind than
they justify. but the public does him
the honor to listen. and. after all, he
does have a right to his own views.
For our own part. we are not and
have never been an iSolationiSt in
the sense nor to the extent that he
appears TO be- We believe tEat the
right sort and the right amount VI
international cooperation since the
last war could and would have
averted this one. But that is water
over the dam. and the concern Of
the world for the moment is not what
might have been but how we can put
out this fire before it burns us all
up.
Lindbergh'S idea of treating with
a victorious Germany is not all I, =
myrot. Mind YOU, we are not a paC
fist. nor Ii fifth columniSt. nor a pro-
German Sympathizer. II ought not
to be necessary mat this statement
be made here. but it is considered not
out OF place 50 long as intellectual
or other sorts Of intolerance are
abroad in the minds of men.
Americans hope as much as any
thing they can hope for in the
world in which they find themselves
that Britain will be victorious in the

Capital Gossip
By LYNN NISBET.
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The s.. Waller IiOlel.

Raleigh, Aug. 1.-The Greensboro
News in its leading editorial yestcr-
day sort Of took the State Hospital
at Raleigh ito ride" for It's request
CT the budget commission for S92 900
for construction Of water system.
On its face the proposition does look
absurd. The News editor admits he
doesn't know anything about the care
and treatment Of insane. Also he
doesn't know much about the local
situation with respect to the State
: Hospital and the Raleigh water SyS-
TEN. Not many citizens Of Raleigh
know much about it, 50 Green's
burger may be pardoncd for his ig-
InOrance.
The water supply for the City Of
Raleigh comes primarily from Lake
johnson, on Walnut Creek. II that
source is inadequate, Lake Raleigh,
on the same creek. is called upon,
and if that fails there is an auxiliary
source at Rand's Mill on Swift Creek.
Point in all the present argument is
that Lake Raleigh belongs to the
State Hospital along with good
many acres of watershed around it.
Wat the hospital now wants with
the requested $4,000 is to set up j
filtration plant and private water
system so that it car use its own
water directly from the source. with
out the necessity Of il passing through
the city mains and filtration system.
What the budget commission and
the general assembly will do about
it remains to be seen. This column
expresses no opinion Of the economic
sOundneSS Of the idea. But in simple
Justice to the hospital authorities il
should be remembered that the pro-
position is for more effective use Of
a vital asset already owned, rather
than launching out into experimental
ton in an alien field.
The North Carolina News Bureau
has discovered a yound man almost
as versatile as George Washington.

And Tell of Tales

Under the terrific tension of working long hours
in abnormal circumstances, telephone girls had
real job during the storm period. In opinion
they did it nobly. For five days straight the load
continued in crescendo of volume that shattered
all previous local records for calls handled It
began as far back as Sunday, the day before the
storm, and continued through Thursday Odd part
is that it didn't taper Off it kept ping in right up
estimate they handled three times the normally busy
calls each day which would estimate that the
top days they handled something like nine thousand
local calls Last Thursday they hit the absolute
peak with 460 completed long distance calls the
most record for a single day. Amazing thing to
the operators themselves is that they able to
handle it at all, that they pulled through it. Short
handed they because chief operator Lulu Kries

day. . :. They say 1t the most hectic five day.

Day, 1910, for years to come We were talking

Surprisingly unruffled by it all, Miss Hunt said
it was an experience she would hated to have missed
They were comfortable with plenty to eat.
The only thing they out of were crossword
puzzles.
In the Junior class play the other night we got
one of those 1t be told items. In one
scene Odie Fish, the younger brother, was to
whistle. Already cast for the part Odie finally
divulged he couldn't whistle a note. So the

chuckled when they noticed the
barber pole missing from the front
of Hanson's barber shop but they
stopped chuckling and started
blinking when they discovered the
missing pole adorning the top of
the water tower and anchored
so sturdily that high winds had
failed to dislodge it. Now they are
wondering how to remove the pole
as no one cares to risk his neck
to take 1t down as the Halloween

Time VIII Vindicate Chamberlain
When the historian of the future
comes to appraise and classify the
various actors who have taken
prominent part in the international
drama now being unfolded he will
place Neville Chamberlain well to-
ward the top ana that classifica-
ton will be richly deserved.
Neville Chamberlain was q man
Of peace who believed that all in
ternational differences should be
settled at the conference table, and
up to the very last he sought to
avoid the World War that is now
rapidly bankrupting the world and
destroying the present social order.
AS Prime Minister Of England
his lot was a unhappy one. Abroad
he had to deal with deceitful and
unprincipled political adventurers
whose word had about as much
substance as ocean froth; at home
he had to contend with buccolic
crowd of jingoes who were utterly
blind to their country's state of un-
preparedness. In other words, he
was completely surrounded by
groups that were intent upon war.
Mr.. Chamberlain has been sew
erely criticized for his stand at
Munich in the fall of 1888. Many
of his countrymen fail to recognize
that he at that time secured an
additional year of grace for his
country in which to prepare for
the inevitable. If England was not
prepared to meet the enemy on an
equal footing in 1889 it must be
assumed that she was much less
prepared at the time Of Munich.
1t is no violent assumption to be-
lieve that had England gone to war
in 1888 she would have been over
run as were Poland, Denmark, Nor
way, Holland, Belgium and France.
I was in Stockholm when the
present war broke out. There 1t
was generally believed that neither
Chamberlain nor Daladier had
their heart in the preparation Of
the ultimatum laid down by Eng
land and France, that brought on
the war. Chamberlain's hands were
forced by the jingoes Of England
and poor France could but follow
her ally.
The present war has brought mis-
cry, suffering, death and devasta-
ton to a continent, that is without
parallel in all annals Of history.
A considerable part of France is
occupied by the foe and the pres
ent French government is but a
pawn Of Berlin. While it Is true
that England has been able to ward
off all attacks to date, there are
those well informed individuals
who believe that the end Of the
British Empire, as now constituted,
Is in sight. That would be trag-
edy Of the first magnitude.
Many students Of current history
contend that had Chamberlain had
the support Of the Churchills, Ed
ems, and Duff Coopers in the fall Of
1889 the war in Europe could have
been postponed until such time as
the Allies were prepared to meet
the Axis powers on an equal foot
ing. Time win vindicate Neville
Chamberlain and history will rec
ord him as the most understanding
statesman OF his day and age.
Peace to his ashes!
Note: My weekly letter will not
be issued next week as it will be
necessary for me to submit to
second minor operation that is nee
essary to complete recovery.

to take a crack at one. Joe took

after he had pulled the trigger and
