ENGLAND EXPECTS:
Better Luck. PERHAPS

Nice old Chamberlain finally got
the gate in England, umbrella and
all, and the loud-speaking Winston
Churchill, navy lord in the last war
and this one, too, got the prime min
istry. Chamberlain, highly capital
istic in his outlook, never could get
Labor support, in peace or war.
Churchill, though diehard Tory, for
some reason has the affection of
Laborites. Other Chamberlain men
went into political "exile" as the
Undertaken from Birmingham (sup-
posedly Churchill's quip) fell. In
France, a couple of extreme con-
servatives, with semi-Fascist views,
were taken into the Reynaud cab
met to broaden the coverage and
tighten things up. The British La
Dor party remains excessively i'm
portant, not because of its numbers
in parliament, but because Of its
myriads of highly organized trade
unionists in the munitions factories,
and in other war industries. British
Liberals also endorsed Churchill.

Mrs. Newhouse wanted the shell
ter to be as cool as dell, so she
avoided all the hot red and orange
colorings. The pipe frame was
painted bright blue. Then she
selected green and white striped
awning material for the top. This
material was 80 inches wide and
IL yards were needed. About Is
yards of bright blue bias binding
were used for the scalloped edge.
The method of fastening the avn

AMERICAN POSITION
WASHINGTON, d. C.

Behind the Presidents speech to
the American Scientific conference
was very genuine worry over the
protection of the Western hemi-
sphere.
The President threw aside a
speech which had been prepared for
several days before, and during the
tense hours just after Holland and
Belgium were invaded he dictated a
new draft which emphasized the inn
portance of Pan-American unity,
plus force, to protect these CONT
nents. He even raised the question
whether the American nations could
stand idly by while dictators con-
quer the rest of the world.
Behind all this were some very
careful studies which the President
and his naval and military strate-
gists have been making of Western
hemisphere defense.
1t may sound like scare headlines,
but it is no exaggeration to say
that to the strategists who take out
paper and pencil to figure on pro-
tecting the U. S. A., Nazi activities
in Norway, Denmark, Holland and
Belgium have meant the very def
mite scrapping (for the first time in
our 164-year history of George
Washington's Farewell Address on
American isolation.
Here is how the strategists figure
it out. The keystone of American
defense has been:
l. A big navy in the Pacific.
2. Friendship with Great Britain,
which rules the waves of the At
lantic.
Assuming that the British feet
should disappear from the Atlantic,
the United States would then have
to maintain two fleets-one for the
Pacific and one for the Atlantic.
And it would take at least four
years to build a new feet for the
Atlantic.

Where Is Happiness?

Happiness is to be found in the
world all about us, in the stiffness
of a summer night, in the pride
of good thing done, in the flush
of summer dawn, the following
of an ideal, the strong grip of a
friend, the perfect heart of rose,
or the wild sweetness of a song.
