PLAYING
HITLER'S GAME
lOr0vilIe MercurY-Elgister)

(Or0NllIe MercurN-kGglStef)
John Cudahy. former ambassador to
Belgium. said al an American First rally
that the President should call peace
conference "IIitler." ne added. would
not dare oppose such an offer Of media
ton following the terrible casualties of
the Russian campaign"
Hitler could afford to pay Cudahv
we'll II he could put over his suggestion
OF peace move by the President now.
Hitler would like nothing better than
that \ peace now would leave Hitler
IN control Of all Europe the richest agri-
cultural section Of Russia. and with a
foothold in north Africa. 1t would leave
all the peoples of Europe his slaves and
Britain strangled people. unable to
trade with Europe except on Hitlers
terms. Peace now would be on HitlerS
terms and would mean that Germany had
Won the war
Anyone who remembers the former war
knows how Germany tried to make peace
when the struggle had come to a point
similar to the present situation. The
Kaiser sent out many peace feelerS and
many misguided people in our on country
fell for them, but the war went on and
Germany was defeated.
Hitler would have preferred not to
have war at all, but to have gone on with
his program of bloodless seizures. Peace
now would allow him to proceed as in the
days when he took Austria and Czecho-
slovakia without a shot being fired. With
peace now he would go on to swallow up
Italy, Switzerland. Sweden and Finland
and would put such pressure onthe Brit
iSh Isles that they would become easy
prey in time. Then he would turn his
attention to South America.
No one can afford to make peace with
Hitler and Cudahy should be a smart
enough man to know this.

ONE REASON HALLOWEEN
WAS SO QUIET HERE

Up and down and around town. there
is still a great deal Of comment about
last weeks Halloween celebration in FL
Centro il was the best hammered. quiet
est, yet withal most satisfactory IIallow-
cen IN many years.
1t would seem bit late to comment ON
Halloween, except for one thing The
factors which went into making the be
Wltchlng night what it was in FL Centro
are the same factors we would like to
inject into a full time, year round recrea-
tlOnal program for the city.
The various school carnivals through
out the city-and throughout the valley.
for that matter-contributed lot to the
safe and sane celebration of the children
holiday. AS in past years, these carnWalS
kept the small fry occupied and happy
and off the streets.
Yet there was less destruction Of prop
erty, and a smaller police roundup Of
young Halloween vandals, than in past
years. Why was the decrease SO notice
able this year?
One reason-perhapS not the only one,
but certainly a big one-Was the HalloW-
cen party at Central Union High school.
Whereas the grammar school carnlValS
reached the youngest members OF the
younger generation, the high school par
ty reached the older members. For that
reason, it is deserving of attention from
more than one angle.
The Central high school party has been
put on for the past three years, but
reached the height Of its success only this
year. 1t was started as party Tor those
young people who, for one reason or an
other, had not been invited to the various
private Halloween parties for others OF
their age group. The business men OF
the city. through the chamber of COM
merce, did their part by donating rela-
lively small but highly important sum to
finance the party. Teachers volunteered
their services as chaperOnes. 1t was
purely cooperative community event. Its
success did credit to those who devised
and planned it.
In its success we see tactual demon
straton of the argument that any per
manent recreation program here muSt
include plans for adOleScentS " e be-
lieve it is not Straining at point TO INK
the party for adoleScentS on halloween
with the fact that there was less vandal-
ism this Halloween than ever before.
It seems to US equally true that
recreation program making provision tor
entertainment Of the adolescentS-gN
ing them some place to go and something
to do-will bring about corresponding
decrease in the total of mischief blamed
annually on this age group.
