hammer the hammer. That was
what puzzled the critics. England
might very possibly defend itself,
but how could it strike back, to de-
feat Germany? If Germany could
not cross 20 miles of water to invade
a small island, how could little Eng
land counter-invade, to conquer a
whole continent? What would
Churchilps striking force be?
AnUiIs
The British blockade is one force.
How much it can accomplish in re-
volt in Germany would be another.
But there were no signs of revolt in
Germany, and the iron grip Of whip
pet tanks precluded revolt in the
seven subject states and ma
tons. Would Russia act as the Eng
lish hammer? Otherwise it might
drag on as deadlock between two
anvils, neither of which was
equipped with a heavy enough ham,
mer. In the meantime London was
being bombarded mercilessly and
invasion threatened from day to
day. Buckingham palace was no
more immune from Nazi bombs
than London's least end"

YEAR 1910:
Campaign

Wendell Willkie invaded the natal
town of the powerful Kelly-Nash DO
litical machine, the home of the
Democratic national convention last
July, Chicago.
Willkie was greeted by half mil
lion people, and at once attacked
the New Deal in four snappy adj
dresses. He spoke to the stock
yards, to the Negroes, to the West
ern Electric, and in South Chicago.
At one point, he became so pre-
occupied that he didn't recognize
Mrs. Willkie, when she confronted
him.
Said Willkie: "Let me say to you,
if you elect me President of the
United States, no American boys
will ever be sent to the shambles of
the European trenches" Then he
said: 'There are a lot Of people in
the country who had better do all
they can to beat me, because the
penitentiary jaws are going to open
to some of them
Just the same his enemies said
that he straddled some issues. He
had disappointed many mid-western
Republicans by endorsing conscrip-
ton and the 50-destroyer deal with
Mr.. Churchill, some claimed.
Isolationists said that Willkie had
fallen under the spell of William AL
len White, and his committee to aid
the Allies.
The Democratic candidate, Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, outside of a speech
to the Transfers union, let his aides
do the direct campaigning.
Vice Presidential candidate Hen
ry A. Wallace was bearing the brunt
of this labor as the former secretary
Of agriculture continued his nation

iii REICH:
WorId's Fair

The long arm of the III reich
reached out to Long Island, where
the Worlds fair aquabellies out over
many acres. The German ''protec-
tor" for Observation-Disclosures
used to be Czechoslovakia, in part
ordered the Czechoslovak pavilion at
the fair to send ''home" the prod
ucts of some IS Czech firms. The
Czech commissioner-general is
named George Janacek. Mr.. jana
eek refused to comply with Baron
Won Neurath's command. Said jan
acek: ''To obey would actually be
taking recognition of the German
occupation Of Czechoslovakia. I
will sell as many of the exhibits
as I can," added the Patriotic Mr..
Janacek, whose joy it is (and no
wonder) to defy Mr.. Hitler.
He added that the IS Czech firms
in question were under duress."
The 100000 German soldiers and
$4,000 Gestapo men who are hold
ing down the Czechs would tend to
agree with Mr.. Janacek.

REVERE:
Call Me PaoIo

The Italian press came out with
brand-new one. They said that
Paul Revere was a good, Anglo-hat-
ing Italian. They said that his first
name was really Paolo. They said
that this patriotic Paolo Revere was
born in sunny Italia, in 1875. This
came as a complete surprise to
American historians, the poor dopes.
The dopey American historicals
had believed that Paul (Paolo) had
been born in Boston, Mass, in 1875.
His father was Apollos de Revoire,
who came to Boston from the Brit
ish island of Guernsey (now occupied
by the Germans) where they still
speak Norman French. In short,
Paul Revere was of French Hugue-
not stock. His silver-smith father
angicized the family name, mere
ly on account, that the pumpkins
should pronounce it easier"

Here are three of the injured victimss
of the Kenvil, Ne,o Jersey, munitions
plant blast, pictured shortly after they
were struck by flying glass.
Thirty buildings were left in ruins
at Kenvil, N. j. The FBI was called
in with quick rush. Some $4,000
600 worth of U. S. government work
was disrupted. Close to so were
dead, and 200 were injured. 1t was
all caused by a series of hideous
explosions at the Hercules Power
company, where $4,000 tons of
smokeless powder "detonated" with
series of dull thuds.
Nazi sympathizers were blamed
for it. and members of the Dies COM

carnage. There was open talk of
sabotage. The Nazi bund has

from Kenvil. Later this camp was

Shan Speaks

George Bernard Shaw, the mod
ern English Shakespeare, advised
his countrymen to WOO the Russians
as quick as they could. He pointed
out that Winston Churchill had long
been an outstanding anti-Russian
and red-baiter. But, he added, Mr..
Churchill had changed his views.
He pointed out that Churchill had
declared Lenin was a very great
man.
Shaw suggested that England ac-
cept Russian socialism just as Of
ficially as it accepts Yankee repub-
icanism. Said George Bernard:
''The idiots who keep calling Stain
a blood-stained monster should be
shot" Worse than useless" mem

replaced by known friends of Rus
sia." Shaw added that he hoped
