South and West, whose purchasing
power the New Deal has restored
and whose economic autonomy the
administration has fostered. His
victory also showed that his strength
lay, socially, in the great industrial
cities and areas. where wages and
hours, the Wagner Act and social
security provided the dominant mo-
tive behind the avalanche of Roose-
welt votes which showed under the
normally Republican majorities in
the rural Northeast.
Mr. Roosevelt did not owe his vic
tory to any one racial, economic or
religious bloc. The small towns
were heavily against him, the poor
er farmers were for him-excepting
the hard-luck farmers in the Dust
Bowl States. He is free to reor-
ganiZe his administration along lines
of national unity so long as he recog-
nizes that victory came to him on
the basis of the domestic program Of
the New Deal-and that the shortest
road to disunity is to allow the New
Deal reforms to be scuttled in the
name OF ndLlOIlal defense.
Prove We Gan Take It."
The bitterness of the campaign
has subsidized so rapidly that it is
now clear that this was a maIiu-
featured and not a popular mood.
1t was well that we tested the
strength Of our social unity and
public good will by submitting to
these unprincipled appeals to hatred.
envy, malice and all uncharitable-
ness. We can take national pride
in the thought that we have
weathered a great political storm
at time when every other country
in the world would have found an
excuse for avoiding such a strain
in such a crisis.
The spirit of our people is best
illustrated by an election story re-
layed to me by an elderly woman in
ultra Republican Western Massa-
chusetts. There are a number of
Shaker communities in those parts
and one aged Shakeress did not vote
at all. but she did try the power of
prayer. Not my will but Thine
be done, o, Lord" she prayed. Let
the best man be elected. Il think
it's Roosevelt) Amen!"
Hitler, the Kommies and the Totos
can't get very far in a Nation like
that The great majority of our
people are decent, patient, kindly
and hard-working. They think and
they vote as individuals, not as mem
bers of any regimented class or
bloc. They are also God-fearing and
weigh many public issues humbly in
the light of eternity. Then can't
be billboarded into voting for a
candidate, they can't be machined
into voting for a party, they can't
be frightened or browbeatened out
of their right to vote according to
their own conscience. The roots Of
our democracy are sound and
healthy. The only victories over
democracy are won by stealth,
treachery and intrigue.
Otherwise, it was grand election,
victory for world-democracy and
a triumph for the principles of
I American reform over the national
reluctance of many 81 us to accept
changes in the trend of our society.

Natures Children
Bulblet Bladder Fern
(Cystopteris bulbifern)

very much alike The sori are borne
in what appears to be double row
on each pinnule, a sorus close to the
base of each tooth.
This species produces spores album
dainty, and by these it is increased.
But its principal means of propaga-
ton is more than likely by the bulb
lets which appear on nearly every
mature frond and are found upon its
under surface. These are the size of
a grain of pepper and are borne on
one or several of the pinnae. These
are by nature adventurous buds con-
sisting of two or perhaps three
cotyledonlike masses inclosing one
or two rudimentary fronds. When
these bulblets or buds come in con-
tact with the soil they send out tiny
roots and are soon independent,
making their own way in the world.
Thus new plants are begun, far
ahead of the more slow fashion of
the spore route.
This handsome fern has a range
beginning in Canada and reaching
to Tennessee, Arkansas, Wisconsin,
and some have even been reported
to be established in Alaska. In some
localities it is very common. Where
you would expect to see them, they
have not as yet been borne to this
favorable location. 1t is one of the
most satisfactory ferns for a fern
garden and a rockery is an ideal
place for one or more of them. This
and the maidenhair were the first
ferns to be sent to the Old World by
botanical collectors. In England it
is called the ry-bearing fern, a
much more attractive name than
the one we have bestowed upon it.

GRAHAM Needs Supplies.
For several weeks Gen. GRAHAM,
the italian commander in chief, has
not deemed 1t possible to advance In
Egyptian territory. From Rome
comes to him a continuous exhorta-
ton TO resume the movement for
ward. He insists that, beforehand,
additional supplies Of all descriptions
including war material must be sent
to Libya. Meanwhile, according to
some reports, unconfirmed so far
but which are believed correct in
competent quarters, Gen. GRAHAM
does not any more use Bengasi as
the main basis of his army, but

Bengasi, Libya, has become too vul-
nerable TO British air raiders who
now start from Crete. AS regards
Italian troops in Libya German help
can only be indirect and far distant.
Contrariwise, in continental
Greece. it is possible for Germany
to lend prompt assistance. Most
diplomatic and military observers
anticipate that the invasion of
Western Thrace by Bulgarian or
German troops sallying forth from
Bulgarian territory would be enough
to discourage Greek resistance and
enable the Italian divisions on the
border of Albania to recoup them
selves. Then italian conquest
would speedily make Roadway to-

This proposal was embodied in q
resolution the committee adopted

The resolution also called for
elimination of existing immigra-

The committee urged continuous

The World Today
Germany Fuees On Involved Array
Of Diplomatic and Military Moves

she had succeeded In getting rid Of
Fascist aggressive expansion. Be-
sides, who can tell what would
have been the consequences Of a
crushing military defeat of the
Fascist regime? Gen. Nevitch, the
commander in chief Of the Yugo-
slav Army, resigned, few days ago,
about that issue. Now the king
dom Of the Karageorgevitch Is in
imminent danger Of being sur
rounded on all sides. In the
Banat Of Temesvar German troops
are encamped within 80 or 100 kilo-
meters from Belgrade.
At this point arises the ever re-
curing query. On the day Western
Thrace is invaded, what is Turkey
going to do? If the Bulgarian
troops carry out that operation,
Turkey Is bound by the Balkan
pact to succor Greece-and Yugo-
slavia Is saddled also with the same
obligation. But If German troops,
instead Of Bulgarian, set foot on
Greek soil, the government Of An
kara is free to do what 1t likes, to
intervene or to remain passive.
Turkeys vital interest is obvious.
However, she will have to reckon
with the circumstances Of the
moment, to pay heed to what comes
within her strength and to what lies
beyond.
Promises Of No Avail.
Germany has done all she could
to bride the Ankara rulers. In the
recent past she has shown herself
ready to pay good deal for rally
ing them to the new order" She
promised that, after the end of the
war, Syria would be placed again
under the sovereignty Of Turkey and
that a share in the oil fields at
Mosul would be conceded to her.
The answer Of the Turks was per-
tinent and ironical: Since you are
In fair way to be generous" they
are reported to have said, why
wouldn't you throw Scotland into
the bargain?"
AS last resort, German diplo-
macy relies upon the good Offices of
Soviet Russia to coerce Turkey into
surrender.
Premier Viachislav Molotov Wis
tied Berlin the other week and has
been offered a guarantee of Rus
sia's frontiers in Europe provided
she Joined the German talian-Jap-
anese system. Up till now the Sow
let Union has not formally COM
mitted itself 1t doesn't mean,
unfortunately, that in the end, Rus
STA will not fall in with the wishes
of Hitler. All will depend upon the
view taken at the Kremlin of the
prospects of the war. However, a
technically and perhaps something
more interferes with the delibera-
tons of the Red dictator and his adj
visers. Russia and Turkey are
bound toward each other not to
reach any agreement with an out
side power coterminous OF either Of
them except of mutual consent. The
Ankara government has received
from Moscow the assurance that
Russia would not overlook that
clause. After what has been ex-
perienced since 1888, we can well
feel sceptical about written pledges.
But here is the something more"
If the Turks resolved to fight for
their independence-and whatever
they may do about Western Thrace
they are loud in their protest that
they will not consider any compro-
mise where Turkish sovereignty is
at stake-a new situation would be
created whereby Russia would have
to reconsider the whole position.

There are fewer than IL species
comprising the bladder fern family.
These are distributed throughout
most of the world, though they are
most abundant in the North Tenn
perste Zone.
The generic name, Cystopteris, is
the Greek for bladder fern and is
applied to these species because OF
the indusium. This is hood-shaped
and is attached to the frond by the
wide base on the inferior side OF the
sorus and arching slightly over it.
This species loves the mountain
GUS regions where it finds many
rocks. There, between the wide
cracks, it anchors and grows. Look
for shaded limestone regions where
there are dripping cliffs. In such
places you will see the bulbiferouS
bladder ferns.
In such locations these beautiful
ferns grow in great luxuriance and
the decorative effect of this fern is
always a joy to the beholder. The
