civilization. But also our energies, our plan

trated upon a program which will keep from
the Implying, contemptuous masters of other

Americas position in the world crisis is Sc
rious. Reduced to simple terms it is aid for
cur friends, the Allies, and impregnable de-
tense. What our aid can be, more than it
has been, is the speeding up Of production of
such supplies, munitions and warplanes as We
can rush to them. 1t should not go beyond
this. An expeditionary force would be futile.
We could not get soldiers into the battle now
raging, provided we had one ready for service,
in time to be effective. 1t would be folly to
consider such a plan. But, whatever else we
and skill at our command.
This, however, as the President indicates,
must not be at the sacrifice of our own prep

The threat is not Immediate. HITLER must
spend much time recruiting his weakened

tanks, guns and fuel before he could extend
his campaigns to this hemisphere. Nor could
MUssoLINI lend an efficient helping hand to
speed an invasion. And it is questionable if
STAIN, who undoubtedly is plotting gains for
Russia out of the present conflict without
sharing its burdens, would offer substantial
aid, unless he took command, which HITLER
would not yield. Invasion of these shores, or

the totalitarians win a sweeping victory in
France and England-but sufficiently in the
future to allow us time for completing a de.

but, through encouragement and counsel, in
the rest of the hemisphere.
This is our great, our chief concern. And

NEW YUM, June 1l.-lQe Vigil
ance of the strong arm squad at
the Fair during the first 80 days OF
the season has, to say the very
least, been unremitting, and it is
due to this no doubt that we have
run into only one man, a hard
ware dealer from Pittsburgh, who
has had his pockets picked. This
is an unusual record, and it
speaks well for the future police
commissioners who are roaming
the amusement boulevards and the
intellectual by-ways of the Fair.
This dealer was a man named
Horace H. Morgan and he lost a
wallet that contained $75 in cash,
plus a railroad ticket and various
identification and credit cards.
THE man who worked on me-"
Mr.. Morgan explained cheerfully.
must have been a wonder, be-
cause 1 didn't feel a thing. 1t was
that painless. I was just standing
there, watching the doves pluck
the clothes off Miss Rosita Royce.
And after the doves had earned
their encore 1 started to turn away.
1t was then I noticed how light
my coat felt, because with my
wallet in the inside of my coat,
there is a bulge there and it is
usually tight. There was no bulge,
nor was there any wallet. I still
don't know how it happened"
We didn't say as much to Mr..
Morgan, but it is our worldly opin.
ion that he was an~esthetized by
the sight of Miss Royce and her
doves. The pickpocket probably
could have removed his collar and
shoes just as successfully. We say
this on the evidence of Mr.. Nor.
gan's w spoken words, for it is
obvious to anyone who is familiar
with the Fair that Mr.. Morgan
got his girls wrong. Or maybe it
was his birds. Miss Royce, unlike
Eve who was clothed only in nudi.
ty, is clothed in cooling doves. They
clutter around her and that is all.
There is another trained fowl, and
a smart old fowl he is, known far
and wide as the sarong-snatching
parrot of Miss Yvette Dare, an.
other striptease cutie. Miss Dare's
act differs from Miss Royce's in
that she is clad only in a sarong
At a critical moment in her act
the parrot plucks off the sarong.
We believe Mr.. Morgan is per-
fectly sincere in giving his yer.
sion of the theft of his wallet but
we still claim that under trick
lights in the noisy, heady atmos.
phere of a worlds fair during
these topsy-turvy days it is per.
fectly possible and excusable for
a man, especially if he is standing
up close, to confuse a dove with a
parrot. It is quite likely even that
feathers got in his eyes, and when
that happens, who among us can
tell a sarong from a flock of doves
flying in brassiere formation?
Personally, we feel that Mr..
Morgan is fortunate and that he
got more out of his experiences
with the bird girls than the pick
pockets got out of his wallet. He
mas a story to tell and. a solid
foundation for his memories. Fur.
ineremore, he took it standing up.
ne was unsettled, even cheerful, re-
lating the episode, and when a
man can be feeced in this fashion
and bear no grudge against his

right stuff.
