Our Achilles Heel

President Roosevelt has moved not
a moment too soon toward creating a
strong inter-American unity to COM
bat the threat of German-Italian
penetration in the commercial field
which might we'll prove to be the
Achilles heel" of hemisphere secur-
ity If neglected in the rush to build
up military defenses. The economy
of some of the Latin American ma
tions already is strained as a result
of wartime disruption OF most of their
export trade to Europe. They must
soon find markets somewhere for
their exportable surpluses or face
economic disaster. It is to our vital
self-interest as well as theirs to see
to it that in this situation the totali-
tartan conquerors of Europe do not
gain commercial dominance any,
where in this hemisphere. For this
would be the opening wedge to total
dominance.
Complete military victory by Ger

nations soon would have to do busi-
ness with Europe on the conquerors'

sheet OF the Allies position 4 word Of
warning to the United States which
the American people cannot afford to
ignore. If Britain loses the coming
battle for her island, he declared, it
will plunge the United States "in the
abyss OF new dark age"
But Mr.. Churchill's war report to
the House of Commons indicates that
Britain is resolved to fight on-alone
If necessary-and a German victory
Is by no means a certainty.
Before German invasion of
Britain can be attempted the Royal
Air Force must be overwhelmed, and
before an invasion could succeed,
even ii attempted, the British Navy
would have to be reduced to impo-
tence. Germany's final victory in the
war will be determined not by the
subjugation of France, but the con-
quest of the British Isles themselves.
and that, on the basis of Mr.. Church.
Ills balance sheet, may never come

Comments on Meaning
OF Democracy.

To the Editor Of The Star:
There are several questions to which
and perhaps many other persons would
like the answers:
l. Why do we keep harping on the
idea that We in the United States are
democracy? There is no mention of
the word democracy in our Constitu-
ton. We are a republic. I believe
the founding fathers are known to
have carefully avoided the word de-
mocracy. Why? Because democracy
means the rule of the majority, with
out any provision for the rights of the
opposition. Hitler had majority when
he came into power. So did Stain,
or at least his predecessors. The word
democracy has always been used to
throw dust into the eyes of the COM
mon people.
2. Why do we have no adequate Fed
eral law for Furnishing sabotage, and
the advocation of overthrow of the
Government by force? I am told that
we had to prosecute Won Rintelen un-
der the antitrust laws, in order to
punish this German saboteur.
3. Why is the Communist party a
legal organization in this country, when
Its allegiance is to foreign country?
1t seems to me that Congress better
stay on the job. WAKE-UP.

Disagrees With Comment
BY William Kerr,
To the Editor Of The Star,

To the Editor Of The Star:
In The Evening Star, issue of June ~
Mr.. William E. Kerr voices his senti-
ments on number of subjects, Including
the "cherubic, rotund, dynamic Winston
Churchill" Mr.. Kerr also states mite
badly that it is better to live Under
totalitarianism than to be free under six
feet of ground.
Maybe that is the way Mr.. Kerr feels
about it. About SO 44/1O0 per cent of
Americans don't, though. May remind
Mr.. Kerr that many of our ancestors bv
their own free choice took the six feet
OF ground in preference to even the yery
mild tyranny of George III.
Isn't it about time that the United
States stopped kidding itself? For years
we have been so SNUG and cocksure that
no power could ever gain foothold in
America, when all the time deep down
in our hearts we knew we were relying on
the British Navy to police the Atlantic.
I agree with L. r. K, although he has
expressed 1t so much better than could
have done, that the only successful way
to defend this hemisphere is to keep the
Allies from losing. And like l.. r. K, I.
too, pray God that 1t is not too late!

Funtusy

A dainty flock Of snowy butterflies
Have fiuttered down upon this bowl
of blue
A blue as deep as midnight summer
skies,
But brighter, more delicious in its hue;
Perhaps they clustered here to stretch
their wings,
To image their white splendor and
to dream
As young Narcissus gazed in crystal
springs,
Charmed by his own reflection in the
stream.
Or, maybe these are fairies come to rest
After night Of dancing on the lawn,
Finding this lovely guerdon of their
quest
When golden sunlight has dispelled
the dawn;
White dogwood blossoms in a blue glass
bowl,
You offer beauty's bread to my starved
soul!
