100000 OF souls, are called upon at this
Juncture to re-examine the endowment
left to us by our forefathers and to
decide whether the inheritance is worth
defending-first for our own good and
second for the well-beir1g of those who
will follow us.
Thus far, all of the nations who failed
to produce a unified and solid front
against aggression are serving. in chains,
the tyrants who essay at this time to
bestride the earth, and they impose and
exalt themselves above all humanity in
this evil day.
For the sake of all decent peoples. the
Axis menace must be expunged, ridding
this world of the most fiendish and un-
scrupulous of monsters.
Who is So cowardly as to say that
these spoilers cannot be stopped?

Discusses Subtle Difference
Between One Pastry and Another.


To the Editor of The Star:
Being Pennsylvania, was particu-
larly interested in your editorial in The
Sunday Star entitled Whats the Differ
ence?"
I was taught that the difference be-
tween a cruller and a doughnut was in
the leavening agent used to make the
dough, the cruller dough containing
baking powder and that of the doughnut
yeast.
The dictionary gives the following
definitions, which account mainly for
the difference in the shape of the two
pastries: "Doughnut-a small cake of
dough fried in lard. Cruller-a ring
shaped cake of dough fried brown in
boiling lard"
In my conception of the two the
doughnut Is sweetened dough, while
the cruller Is a sweet cake mixture
Unless definitely proved otherwise, I'll
have to be still "recalcitrant."

To the Editor Of The Star:
AS friend of organized labor, I wish
to congratulate the Executive Council
of the American Federation Of Labor on
their recent report "decrying Russian
hypocrisy but supporting all-out defense
effort"
Aside from the railroad unions which
never have been infected with Com
munism, organized labor in this country
today is in the hands of the c. l. %.
and the A. r. L.. II these two great
organizations should adopt an enforced
policy making it impossible for Com
munist, Bundist, Fascist, an alien
or an individual with a criminal record
to hold office or membership in an
American labor union, there could be no
question as to the acceptance Of union
principles by 1907 of the decent people
of this country.

Argues That DRY" Amendment
Did Not Forbid Drinking.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Dorothy ThompSons references to the
Eighteenth Amendment, in your issue
of September 20, have been we'll answered
by Deets Pickett in The Star for Oc-
tober 3, but he did not call attention
to one very common misconception of
the amendment, which illustrates the
effect of propaganda. Miss Thompson
said that the minority decided to keep
Americans sober by forbidding them to
drink etc. Neither the amendment nor
any other prohibition law within my
knowledge forbade drinking. The pro-
hibition was upon the traffic, and in
that respect 1t merely followed the prece-
cent of all legislation that seeks to re-
duce crime, disease and poverty by
forblddlng the sale of impure food,
poisons, narcotics, etc. In seeking the
most effective means of "smearing" the
prohibition of the liquor traffic, the
vets and their agents saw fit to con-
Strue the amendment as a prohibition
of drinking, and millions to this day,
like Miss Thompson, are still victims of
that propaganda.
So-called "appeasers" of Hitler are
today very unpopular, but in our dealing
with King Alcohol we have followed a
policy of appeasement for more than a
century. The very disturbing revela-
tlons of physical unfitness in our Army
recruits may yield some profit in direct
ing attention to the effects of alcohol
and nicotine, for in a final showdown
of military strength and efficiency in
contest between nations, the superior
mental and physical fitness of a sober
army and navy may well be sufficient to
turn the scale. We have fallen far
from the ideals Of the last war period,
but 1t might be useful to review the
treatment of the liquor traffic in that
period. C. v. BURNSIDE.
