Welles Finds
Nothing New

with facts that Americans are moi
very familiar With-factS Of sort to
prove very useful when the world
(today's belligerents and neutrals
alike) finally does get down to a
discussion Of International peace on
Il permanent basis.
Little Information
Well, if Sumner Welles really sue
ceeded in assimilating a particle Of
inside dope" of the kind suggested,
it's been kept profound secret thus
far.
Duce Mussolini, Feuhrer Hitler,
and plenty Of others undoubtedly
told him lots of things, but they APP
pear to have been things that he
must have known in advance.
As to Germany, Herr Hitler al
ready had explained the Reich's
peace terms. Besides what the Faith
crland has grabbed Of late in its own
and the recovery Of
its lost colonies, he wants to put the
British navy out of business, he wants
Gibraltar and Suez and Singapore.
Thatll satisfy him, at least tenn

porarily.
And the British objective is to
eNtnguish Herr Hitler.
WelIes' Trip SuperfluOus
No foreign trip was required to as
sure as we'll posted a diplomat as
Sumner Welles that Britain would
sacrifice her last Tommy Atkins"
before yielding to Adolrs conditions
or that Adolf will see his entire
country go up in smoke before ad-
hitting that he's overthroWn.
Summers chats with the French,
the Italians and the miscellaneous
small neutrals may have elected a
few additional expressions Of opin-
ion, but it's widely agreed that the
fight essentially is between Adolf and
Britain.
Between Adolf and Britain? Here's
a distinction.
The British unquestionably are
united behind their government.
Germans Behind Hitler?
Are the Germans united behind
the fuehrer? Stories have been cir
culated to the purport that they're
not-that he has lots of disaffection
to deal with at home-that his
country may blow up underneath
him, as it blew up under the Kaiser
If so, the war might FRAGILE out quite
Unexpectedly.
But these reports are impossible
to verify-or to disapprove, either.
Hitler and his lieutanants natural
ly deny them, and, even if they're
true, probably don't believe them
The British and French prefer to be-
lieve them, and perhaps believe them
Had Sumner Welles been able to
scare up some reliable evidence, one
way or the other, it would be worth
listening to- However,. testimony has
been weighed, pro and con, for
months, by big corps Of competent
observers, and they still are uncer-
tain. 1t isn't likely that Sumner has
been able to out-guess them Deepen
daily on the flying tour that he made.
Well Received Everywhere
Undersecretary Welles has been
cordially received everywhere. That
was to have been anticipated.
Each capital he visited gave him

It's version OF the situation with the
utmost appearance Of candor. Berlin
dwelt upon the ReichS Willingness
to make peace-With the destruction
of the British empire. London and
Paris equally emphasize the Allies
readiness TO stop fighting-with the
extinction Of Hitler and the smash
ing of Nazidom. Each side says It's
winning.
That's the information that Sum-
ner Welles is advertised as return
ing with.
He hasn't got peace in the sack
or any indications of it.
He's had some interesting inter-
views. That's about all that there
are any appearances Of.
It was to have been foreseen. too.
There was so much mystery about
the trip that many people imagined
the Washington administration might
have something wonderful cup its
sleeve" If so, it hasn't revealed it

that immediate repeal OF the entire
sales tax would subject home OWL

ity OF an ad valorem tax on land. He
said that it is apparently impossible,
in view Of demands for enlarged
State services, TO repeal the sales
tax, but he advocated modification
OF some Of It's "harsher' aspects.
He called attention to the Demo-
cratic platform plank for elimina-
ton OF the sales tax on basic
necessities and said that. in his
opinion, in view Of the improved
financial condition Of the State it is
now possible to eliminate from the
sales tax not only the basic neces-
sites now exempted under the law,
but likewise all food for home con-
sumption.

He stopped and sighed.
"I've doubt, in His goodness,

he said.
Mrs. Nc Cam freed her hand
from Peters long enough to find a
handkerchief and wipe her eyes.
Frank, standing on the heart-rug,
looked down on them all in turn.
A coal fire was sleepily burning in
the old-fashioned CRATE; outside the
heavy velvet curtains at the win

that were crossed inside them the
quiet holiday morning had clouded
over and snow was beginning gently
to fall. The heaviness and shadow
out of doors seemed to make only
more luxurious and handsome this
comfortable sitting-room, with its
books and chairs and freight.
Ibid Frank tell We what Casserly
reported?" Judge Nc Cam opened
the talk by asking.
THAT was after I got home last
night, Pop. I didn't know that when
I was at Carscaddens', Frank said.
That's right, too. Casserly came
here" said the judge in his mild,
fatherly way, with a report on
the Columbus Avenue place."

He stopped. Everyone looked at
Peter, who shrugged, tossing his
head, and at Sheila.
"That's all a ie," Sheila said
firmly.

this so as to make it declare that
nearly all the good things are pos

long enough in seeking them, and

IIRISH EYES : <. ,...,,

Sheila laughed, disagreeably. Her
cheeks were still scarlet.
"Only that isn't what happened"
she said.
"Sheila," said Mrs. Nc Cam,
suppose that Judge Nc Cam and
/ said this to you and Peter: You
like each other, you've been thinking
about each other for months. Today
was to have been Peters wedding
day. Well, have it so. Be married
quietly this afternoon, right here in
church on Lexington-we'n have a
little party afterward, to celebrate
the first weddin'-"
There were tears in her shining
eyes. She wiped them away, and
went on, still holding Peters hand,
still patting it gently.
''Then you go off TO Pittsburgh.
I've brother there; Judge Nc Cam
had him on the telephone this morn
ing. Peter, my brother, has a big
foundry there, and he'll find a job
for Pete. He'd seen the newspaper
story and he was so nice about it,
wasn't he Papa? And of course,
you and Peter not being able to
manage on what he'd earn, why,
we'd see to that part of it.
II talked to Peter about this, this
morning." she concluded, with a
glance at her sons attentive face.
''Tell Sheila what you think, dear"
why, think it's the best way
out of it. Gert's gone to her grand

mother-she's off me for lifel" Pc
ter said gruffly.
Sheila stared at him in blank
amazement, moved her gaze to
Frank. Her eyes went to every
face in the circle in turn. She looked
at Mrs. Nc Cam, gently persua-
sive, at the judge, who was watch
ing her keenly, with half-frown, at
Peter, flushed and stirred and hero
ic, and at her own brother, who had
been alertly following all the pro-
ceedings, without himself taking any
part in them. Her mothers face
she reached last; the look of out
ragged suspicion that the familiar
countenance had worn through the
entire morning was slightly soft
ened now. Mrs. Carscadden was not
modified, but she was interested at
least in the thought of this unexpect-
ed solution.
Sheila turned to Frank, who was
studying her with his odd, grave
half-smile. Frank, so comfortably
secure in his own wedding plans
"But I don't love Peter!" she
stammered.
Mrs. Nc Cam interposed in a
soothing tone, as if she were speak
ing to small refractory child:
"But Peter loves you very much,
Sheila, and he never would permit
and his father and I never could
approve-of your going on, after all
this, with such a stain on your
name. There'd be no blessing in
that for him, or for us. It may not
seem SO serious to you now, but
the time will come when it would
be serious-believe me, dear. And
the judge thinks so, too. The world
would think very hardly of you,
Sheila. They wouldn't know if you
were married or weren't married."
II wouldn't care what the world
thought" Sheila asserted.
mo, you wouldn't now. But the
time might come when you'd want
to marry someone else, and then
there'd always be that shadow.
Judge Nc Cam and wouldn't want
Peter to be responsible for it, and
Peter wouldn't, either"
why, but Peter knows perfectly
well what happened" Sheila per-
sisted, Indignantly. He knows that
we were both as innocent as babies
through the whole thing!"
Peter, who appeared to be ex-
quisitely uncomfortable, cleared his
throat.
