Peace on Earth,
Good Will Toward Men

These glad Christmas tidings seem far
removed in this chaotic world-a world
which is striving to rule by might in
stead of right. The need for religion
right thinking and right doing-seems to
be the only hope of mankind. The New
Testament with the words of the Saviour
printed in red is the beacon light for all
who are oppressed. What is more in
keeping with the spirit of Christmas
than the Christian doctrines set down by
the Prince of Peace? Here is the answer
to the conquerors. Send for your Red
Letter Testament today. To secure your

Key to the Situation

Arthur E. Purvis, director general
OF the British Purchasing Commits
sion, has brought back from London
an encouraging report on Britain's
ability to hold out against its enc
mies+providing arms production not
only keeps up at home and in the
United States, but forges ahead to
unprecedented levels. The key to
the situation, he told reporters, is an
ever-increasing supply Of war ma
terials. Although Mr.. Purvis quite
naturally refused to concede the pos
Sibility Of an imminent British COL
lapSes he made it very clear that
much depends on how many addi-
tional planes and guns and ships his
country can send into action during
the forthcoming critical weeks and
months. During this period, he
pointed out, the pace will be set for
future production. What is accom-
plished now will have a telling effect
in accelerating output in the days to
come, for today's planes will protect
tomorrows production in English
factories and also will be used to
harass Germany's industrial ma
chine.
Britain, he said, must achieve in a
short time what Germany spent
years in doing. This replenishment
OF British war supplies must proceed
without interruption while the Bat
tie of Britain goes on in all it's fury.
Despite the bombings of the indus
trial Midlands, the war production
schedule is being stepped up con-
stantly, Mr.. Purvis asserted. But
Britains all-out effort is not enough
in the present emergency, he stressed.
That is why he is back in the United
States, with message that calls for
speed, and more speed, on the part
OF American industry. Nothing
could SO dishearten Hitler, and tend
to bring an end to his aggreSsions, as
realization that the combined re-
sources of the United Kingdom and
America were assuring England of a
rapidly increasing reserve of war
planes and other materiel.
incidentally, Mr.. Purvis gave a
most favorable report on the per-
formance of American warplanes in
actual combat These ships have
benefited from the lessons learned by
Royal Air Force pilots in their opera
tions against the Nazis. Improve
ments are being built into each type
with the result that today's product
is the latest thing in military air
crft-"an excellent article in every
respect" as Mr.. Purvis put it. The
testing of our planes in the labora-
tory of real warfare should prove to
be of tremendous advantage to our
own air forces in their quest for air
supremacy.

Makes Plea for
National Unity.

National Unity.
To the Editor Of The Star:
In the course of human events, there
arises time in the affairs of men when
straightforward action is necessary. The
people Of the United States of America
now face a situation in which just such
a time is before them.
We have elected to the high Office Of
the presidency of these United States
Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The cam
paign for this Office, just concluded, was
hard and bitter. Not since the time of
1861 has there been an election with
such important essential elements Of
democracy at stake. Since 1886, the
gulf between Republican and Democratic
adherents has rapidly widened, until now
this country Of ours is faced with a
threat of absolute disassociation between
these parties. This way lies disaster.
Never before has the United States
and its God-given principles of life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
been confronted with more threatening
problems than now face it. We are
now the last bulwark of democratic
government; the last unassailed bull
wark! We must fully realize the dire
consequences of dissension in policy and
action. We need no other object lesson
than our great disaster of the last CEN
tury-the Civil War! Was there ever
a more perfect example of the collapse
of national unity, than that dreadful
holocaust? Let us take our lesson from
that same collapse. Let us now resolve
that we are, and shall ever be, "one
nation, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for ALL" Let us not be Repubn-
cans or Democrats. or New Dealers
but Americans. each and every one Of
us-united Americans of these United
States of America!

Asks Divine Blessing
For Christmas and Chanukah.

To the Editor Of The Star:
This year Christmas. the anniversary
OF the birth of the Saviour, and the
Festival of Chanukah, which commemo-
rates the triumphant victory over the
Syrians by the people Of whom Christ
came occur on the same dates. Each
time through the ages, when these two
festivals has come together the fact has
been of great significance. Let us pray
and hope that this time, too, the Lord
again will show mercy toward His chill
dren and restore peace, security, pros
perity, good will and equality so that we
all may enjoy the blessings God has
created for us. ANNA LANSBURGH.

Objects to Furnishing Supplies
To Axis Countries.

To the Editor Of The Star:
I have read with great interest your
editorial in The Star of December 10 on
"Tires for Japan" At this hour your
comments are timely. 1t is question Of
principle, and unless some way is found
to discontinue this sort Of double dealing
the consequences may be serious. AS was
reported by radio from London, 1000
British workers have gone on strike in
protest against making war material for
Japan. Personally, do not approve Of
strikes, but in this case fully endorse
such a line Of action. It is more than
justified.
When the famous Charlottesville speech
was made, the following day two ships
laden with war material left our shores
for Italy. Judging from the Italian chest
nuts found on sale at market stands

Asks About Barring Citizens
From Federal Courts.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Just why the doors to the courts of the
United States should have been closed
to any citizen, so as to make the Walter
Logan bill thing to be seriously con-
sidered, is beyond my comprehension
considering the following quotation from
the Constitution of the United States:
"The judicial powers shall extend to all
cases in law and equity between
citizens of different States - between
citizens of the same State"
w. STANLEY FREEMAN.
Evening star., 1940-12-25

"This Is the highest and most SOL
emn moment Of our war;" the Fascist
press warns Italians, urging them to
"have faith" Maybe, and maybe
they will later find some that are
even higher and solemner.

"Good fences make good neigh
bors," sang Robert Frost, poet laure-
ate of New England. Maybe they
do in Yankeeland, but it seems to
work just the other way in the Old
World.

Suggests Football Technique
For National Service.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Before there can be unity of purpose
and speeded action on the football field
the quarterback must give his team
definite signals, indicating who is to
carry the ball and where the ball is to
be carried
Perhaps this simple plan could be
utilized to advantage by our Government
quarterback in his efforts to secure unity
Of purpose and speeded action in matters
OF defense. j. j. SPERRY.

Gives Different Version
OF Christmas Greeting.

TO the Editor Of The Star:
We are accustomed, at this season, to
say "on earth peace. good will toward
men," 1t may perhaps, in this year
1910, seem more appropriate to quote
this same passage-Luke i.1+as trans
lated in the revised version of 1881: "On
earth peace among men in whom he is
well pleased" or even, as some authors
ties prefer to translate the best Greek
manuscript: "On earth peace among men
Of good win" HERBERT p. CARTER.

STATE

Two hours and six minutes Of
" enthralling screen entertainment
was enjoyed by capacity audiences
nt the Warner Bros. State theater
this afternoon where "The Sea
Hawk" thrilling new saga Of the
seven seas, opened its engagement
with Enrol Flynn in the title role.
Flynn, swash-buckling hero of
many thrilling screen adventures
has his most glorious role In this
thriller and with him is STAR
studded cast featuring Brenda Mar
shall, Claude Rains, Donald Crisp,
Flora Robson, Alan Hale and thous-
Rnds of others.
Lavishly produced and costing well
over two million dollars, this film
richly recreates the colorful days of
Queen Elizabeth's reign, the awe-in-
spring clash of mighty galleons,
cutclasses ringing in battles for gold,
Tor beautiful ladies, for supremacy
OF the Spanish Main.
Flynn, as Godfrey Thorpe most
feared Of the privateers of Queen
Elizabeth's day, is said to have the
best role of his career. In order to
swell the treasury of their country
and satisfy their own lust for adj
venture, Thorpe and other "Sea
Hawks" of the day would sail the
seas, hunting for enemy ships to loot
and plumber.
Thorpe is secretly favored by the
Queen, but he has an unrelenting
enemy in the Chancellor Of the
court, who Is in league with the
Queens foreign enemies. Henry
Daniel portrays this character and
turns in brilliant performance.
The final duel between the two pro-
vides one of the most thrilling film
finales ever filmed.
In the second big hit Blonde Has
Servant Trouble, the Bumsteads
carry on as ever, in the laughable,
and lovable friendly way which has
endeared them in the hearts of mil
lions Of theategoers. The film stars
Penny Singleton as Blonde, Arthur
Lake as Dawgood and Larry Sims
as Baby Dumping.

can't miss. Make a date to see it
at the State before Saturday eve
