Burned Carlyle Manuscript

81 will take half of it, and will use
it to pay my expenses while I am
writing the book over again"
Once more he wrote about the
French Revolution, and this time
the manuscript went to the pub
Usher. To his wife he said, This
book has come from my heart"
When the volume was printed, it
proved fine success. Carlyle's fame
spread far and wide. His words
were read on both sides of the At
lantic.
So it came about that a lost book
was given back to the world. Be-
cause Carlyle would not let blow
put him down, he was able to pro-
duce a masterpiece. In later years
he was to write other important
books, but THE French Revolu-
ton" marked the beginning of his
great success.

time yet to order, personally, that his
former assistant return.
Vichy, and by implication Berlin, are
gravely concerned over what the former
commander of the French army may do.
In some quarters it is believed that Wey-
gand intends to play his own game and
restore the French monarchy by making
the Count de Paris-the pretender to the
French throne-the King of Colonial
France and eventually bring him back
to crown him as the legitimate King in
Paris This supposition is based on the
well-known sentiment Of Gen. Weygand.
Attack on Graziani Feared.
But what is giving the German high
command more severe headache is the
fear that Weygand might take advantage
of the unbelievable weakness of the
Italians to finish them off by making
common cause with the British and
attacking Marshal Graziani's forces
from the rear.
1t is a historical fact that Weygand
last July refused to continue the fight
on the side of the British, by moving
with the French government OF M. Rey-
maud to Africa. The reason for this
decision to seek an armistice was not
any particular dislike or mistrust of the
British but because he, as soldier,
could not see how the British alone, or
with the meager support of the French
colonial forces, could win this war.
Mr.. Churchill has been particularly
careful to convey to the North African
Army the hope that Frances resurrection
can come from only one quarter: The
victory of the English-sp speaking demo-
cratic nations over the totalitarian states.
And Berlin fears that Gen. Weygand
may have been infected with the virus of
the British propaganda and may be bid
ing his time. 1t is openly admitted in
military quarters in Germany that if
the French Army in North Africa-some
600, 900 well-equipped men-were to break
loose, the situation in Italy would be-
come such that Mussolini's regime would
not last 48 hours.
A similar reaction of doubling the final
outcome of the conflict which 10 weeks
ago was considered sure victory for
the totalitarian nations is felt in Japan.
Toxic still believes that it is in position
to conquer the Malay Peninsula and the
Dutch East Indies, but there is no longer
the same cocksureness among the leaders
of the japanese nation. The best sign
of what is going on in the minds OF
the advisers of the Emperor is the fact
that the day the reelection of Mr.. Roose-
welt was definitely known in Toxic, the
government decided to send an AM
bassador to Washington. And the person
selected was none other than the former
Foreign Minister-Admiral Nomura.
This change OF heart Is considered
IN ofacial quarters IN Washington

vision of Information and Education"
and so on. McCamy in his study of
government publicity found that more
elusive consequence of the ban was the
disgusting of publicity in record-keep-
ing, even as the titles of its practition-
ers are subtle"
Work of this sort, which Herring ap-
parently would expand, is regularly done
by the national committee of the party
out of power. Charles Michelson's pub
licity activity after 1928, for the Demo-
cratic committee was large factor in
throwing control of the House to the
Democrats in 1890, in the middle of the
Hoover administration, and undoubtedly
contributed also to the defeat of Hoover
two years later. Within the last few
years the Republicans have taken leaf
from the Nicholson book and built up
an efficient between-campaigns propa-
ganda Office at Washington under their
publicity director FRANKLIN Waltman.
As for the Government publicity serv-
ices, it is unlikely they will be dimin-
ished under this or any succeeding adj
ministration Some of their output, as
we have seen, is clearly educational;
some is clearly propagandist. The citizen
is likely to approve or disapprove the
latter in accordance with his attitude
toward the party in power. For whether
a piece of propaganda is a reprehensible
effort to confuse the public, or justi-
fed effort to enlighten the public, is all
in the point Of view.

Br Leslie H0re-BeHSha.

She was. with infinite gallantry, torpe-
doed and depth charged. Nonetheless,
within 10 weeks she was in action again
in Dakar.
Assessing today the weight Of naval
strength that could be brought against
Britain in the Mediterranean, prudence
would dictate that so long as the units
permitted to remain at large, they should
be included among the potential effec-
tives of the enemy.
Undoubtedly it is the destroyers and
submarines which constitute the prin-
cipal danger not only in the Mediter-
ranean but also in the Atlantic. if they
should succeed in effecting a passage
through the Straits Of Gibraltar.
Greeks Give Example in Boldness.
The most efficacious way of preventing
a concerted series Of moves against
Britain and her interests is to follow up
the Taranto blow with accommodating
vigor before an opportunity has been
given for recovery from the shock.
Fascism, which set out to acquire an en-
pire by blocking up the drinking wells
in Libya, by saturating Abyssinia with
poison gas and by stealing the birthright
of Albania to her independence, should
no longer be kept waiting for its quietus.
The little Greek kingdom is proclaim
ing to the world what can be done by
boldness and an indomitable spirit to
humiliate an aggreSsor's overweening
presumption. She must have been en-
heartened by the Taranto action, facili-
tated as it was by the harbors which her
intervention has placed at the disposal
of the British feet. The bombing of
Durazzo and the loss of two enemy supply
ships off Valona Illustrated at once the
succor that can be given to Greece and
the improved opportunity for offensive
action afforded to Britain.
On land the Greeks are engaging the
italian forces. The new ally. with her
additional army which she has brought
to vindication of the common cause,
should be enabled to maintain resistance
and, If possible, exploit still further her
already recorded successes. The action
taken by Britain against the Italian
forces elsewhere would relieve pressure
on the Greeks and accentuate Italian
difficulties. If the hard fighting reported
from Gallaudet can be extended into
Abyssinia to spread the fire of revolt
among the oppressed and the lombard
ment Of the road between Tobruk and
Sidi Barrani can be intensified into gen.
eral military conveyance on the lines of
communication not yet consolidated, then
the shrunken italian feet might be
drawn out from its bases in an effort to
retain what would become, indeed. be-
leaguered Italian empire.
What . transformation would be
brought about in Africa II the expan-
