Since it may be said now. with
out any suspicion of political
propaganda and without effect
reiterate the thought that the
question for war or peace for the
United States depends, not upon
who sits in the White House, but
upon the reaction of Germany,
Italy and Japan to the establish
ed and accepted policies of this
Republic
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-12-02

This policy, it should be remem-
sbered, is that of the present Ad-
ministration, but it bears the en-
dorsement of Mr.. Wilkie, the
presidential candidate of the Re-
publican Party.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-12-02

REGARDLESS of the outcome of
the recent election, the President
of the United States would stand
committed to continuation of this
policy Such risks as may accom-
pany it would have been accepted
as willingly by Mr.. Willkie
as they have been accepted
by President Roosevelt Conse-
quently, we have been unable
to follow the reasoning of those
who have asserted that a vote
for the reelection of Mr.. Roose-
cit represented a vote for war.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-12-02

The attitude taken by Mr.. Will
kie'S position, however, indicates
that opponents of these policies
have lost their battle Moreover,
his stand will undoubtedly have
considerable influence upon the
Republican Party, as a whole.
which will hardly commit the
Party to an attitude which the
leader is opposed to.

One way to insure proper conduct
Of = playwriting class, 1t seems, is to

Will ~.
Not to the battlefields, where all
wars look incredibly alike and high
ly incredible, did Kline and hts crew
take their cameras. They chose
rather to visit such places as the
slums, the docks, the teeming city
streets, the Fairgrounds and other
normal places where the abnor-
mality of conflict inflicts its most
hideous scars. On the terrified face
of a child. or in the dumb pain
written in the eyes of an old woman,
Kline has found more poignant hu-
man drama a than in a hundred
deaths in battle. Soldiers are ex-
pected to die. Civilians trapped in
kind of living death are more
worthy camera subjects.
An unbelievable continuity runs
through the Aim which was shot in
England, Poland and Danzig in the
early days Of the war. There is a
strange and fascinating relationship,
for instance, in the hopeless Polish
resistance to Nazi air armada at
tacking a Danzig bridge and the
squirming, screaming terror of an
English infant being jammed into
a gas mask that it may survive its
poisonous world.
There are dozens of such affecting
sequences in this amazingly ironic
account of mans latest lapse from
glory. To single out any one, or
several. of them as more haunting
than another is impossible. If one
were impelled to essay the impos-
sible, however, a challenging Sc
quence would be that of Polish
village reduced to glowing ashes on
which the anguished peasants, need
ing to do something to ease their
pain, futilely throw pals of water.
The most artful writer of movie
scripts could not conceivably come
within leagues Of the power of this
particular scene to reveal the de-
pravity which produced and dropped
those bombs. Other sequences to
chill the heart must include those
which show a company of Polish
lancers, pennants aflutter like those
Of Knights. tournament bound,
marching out to be ground to death
by the Nazi's war machine: an Eng
lish music hall where a gaudily aw-
full comedian takes the hearts of his
audience off of Europe's night with
a ditty about hanging out the wash
ing on the Siegfried Line.
With the wisdom of the super
latively fine reporter, Kline has al
lowed the facts of his story to speak
for themselves. The narrative
which James Hilton provided, and
which Fredric March reads, has a
