THE RED CROSS IN BRITAIN

Winston Churchill has said in Parliament that the German war" against Britain is producing about 40 civilian casualties to every military casualty It is not war at all in the old sense. Rather is it an evil force let loose in the world. This distinction lends significance to the work the American Red peacetime organization for disaster relief does not need much alteration, though the disaster is caused by a subhuman rather than a superhuman agency.
 Red Cross Chairman Norman H. Davis gives out some particulars as to what is being done with funds contributed by the American public and supplies made available by the United States Government. Since September the Red Cross has spent ranged to spend more than S4.250000 for British re- lief More than 200 different kinds of items, each certified by the British relief agencies needed. have been sent over These include medical supplies hospital equipment, ambuances, food, clothing and ood kitchens British steamships have furnished free cargo space and not one shipment far has been lost at sea elsewhere.
 A hurricane, earthquake, great fire, a flood even an epidemic has a natural termination. The same cannot be said for the plague called nazsm How great the relief need will to be can not know but we can be sure that American dollars spent through the Red Cross will do all that money can do to express Americas profound sympathy for Hitlers innocent victims, and to relieve their suf-' fering

The New Army Is Born
(New York Times


 If there was resentment among the 100000 young men who registered for seective service it did not exhibit itself overt acts. Conscientious ob- iectors in this city amounted to less than twotenths of one percent of the total In the nation at large they are not likely to be important factor. The registration machinery worked with surprisingly little confusion. Rich and poor obscure and famous, for the most part took their in line. Senator Rush Holt who had special registrar come to his office, after he denounced the draft silly and unnec- essary" was conspicuous exception in the demo- cratic picture.
 Universal liability to military service can be used as an instrument of tyranny It can also be used, as President Roosevelt said, to create a country where the people alone shall be master, where the people shall be truly free Since our training plan calls for only 80OO0O the first year. less than million in succeeding years, many more will stay at home than will serve. Chance must play part in the selection but it will not be the chance of birth wealth influence.
 A great task remains in determining the nature of the training in providing discipline which will making character and competency the sole bases for promotion We must have educated officers, but it ought to be laid down unbreakable rule that from now on the bricklayer's or farmers son shall have an equal chance with the public of- fcias or the mionare's.

role prominent business men are playing in the Willkie campaign.
 When Ernest T. Weir, Pittsburgh steel magnate and chairman of the COP Finance committee, complain ed recently that business men were not making good on their pre-con- vention campaign fund promises, he wasn't talking about Chicago.
 Out here they not only are dig ging deep into their jeans, but are prodding the tagging zeal of certain Republican politicians. This Signi- ficant m ov em e ent arose spon- taneously earlier in the autumn, when the trend appeared to be away from Willkie.
 G. o. P leaders went around with long faces and talked lugubriouSly. So at this point small group of top business men got together and decided to do something. They were:
 Frank Anderson, vice president of the Automatic Canteen O., Cloud Wampler, head of Stern, Wampler and Co, leading La Sale Street bond firm: A J. Browning, president of the United Wall Paper Factories; Hays Mcfarland, head of a large advertising agency; and Sewell Avery, chairman of U. s. Gymsum Co. and of Montgomery, Ward and Co.

LETTERS FROM ENGLAND

T marvel again and again how human nature adjusts itself Here are, not knowing what horror and terror the next day may bring, but we are still concerned that the curtains need washing, and it is still minor tragedy that the charwoman has not sent the meat in time for dinner"
 This is one short excerpt from letter out of thousands that Americans constantly receive from friends and relatives in England since the Battle of Britain in progress but it expressive of the attitude of brave people
 Better than the dispatches-because more persona-these letters give a picture of what life is like under Hitler's Stukas and long range guns Too often the cables give impersona impression; they seldom contain such touches the above. Per sonal letters remind Americans that the most order y and apparently of civilizations become battlefront.
 In England the people have attained a social level that closely approximates that of the United States than of any other country In short, the Englishman in his habits, his environment and his thinking is very like the American. He reacts to the strain he lives under would any free man He will not be terrorzed he will not be browbeaten He will fight He will keep his composure and his faith in the future. It is to this spirit that letter after letter testifies.
 Another says:
 Tell the people in America that we in England not afraid whatever happens that we have plenty to eat and that we believe we will come out best in the end"
 These people will out best in the end' if they are not deserted by America Their little island is the last refuge of freedom in Europe. It cannot perish long these people keep their courage. It must not perish if America is to retain her own freedom and escape the tragedy that the people of England daily face

WILKES BLESSING

The plan agreed on was to hold a series of business mems lunch con rallies to stoke up campaign contributions and also inspire men to get out and work for Willkie
 MacFarland, Anderson and Wam- pier flew East and laid the idea before Willkie himself at midnight meeting in his private car after his Philadelphia speech. His response was hearty, "Go to it, and God Bless you
 The group went to it-and have been going to it ever since. At the first luncheon, 700 attended and in response to Netherlands terse command, How much is it worth to you to get rid Of RQose~lt?'

 At a second luncheon week la ter, HOO were present and the bas- kets, circulated by debutantes, net ted S48,0O0. Five contributions were for $1,000 each and Sewell Avery was so enthused that he grabbed the check for the entire luncheon - which was $1 500 without tips.
 Cheered by this exuberent begin ming, the business leaders decided to carry it to other important Mid western centers. MacFarland dashed out to Omaha, and in two days pro- noted a luncheon that netted $l0,- 900 and started an organization simi- lar to that in Chicago
 Wampler, Anderson and others are now doing missionary work in Kansas City, St. Louis, Detroit, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Toledo and Cleveland. Their plan is to blanket the Midwest with these business units and if time permits extend l them to the Atlantic seaboard.
