sect lotion, purling brook, good
pipe, and a stack Of newspaper ac-
counts of how Russians are shoot
ing down German planes, and Ger
man tanks are rolling through the
Bolshies in high gear?
This is one war it will be good
fun to follow. AS for myself, don't
want to miss a word of it. To be
sure that won't I have subscribed
to four extra newspapers and put
new crystal in my radio set.
Just so my neighbors won't think
I've suddenly gone crazy I want 10
explain the gyrations they have seen
me performing on the lawn OF late.
That dance I do in which I Jump
high in the air and clap my hands
together is in celebration OF o Rus
sian communique telling how the
Nszis have been cornered going up
fight of steppes and bopped of BY
the battalion load.
The Nijinsky hop, followed by q
rouslng laugh, that I do, Is TO ex-
press my qualification over a Ger
man bulletin telling how the in
vaders are shaving of the boards
of the Communists with bullets and
whacking them over the heads with
not only the sickle, but the hammer
as well.
You might as well try TO make me
send flowers TO a Jack the Rippers
funeral as try to make me feel sorry
for either side in this battle. And
Ill bet many an American feels
the same way that I do.
A man would have TO work mighty
hard 10 shed even one crocodile
tear over any misfortune that came
Joe Stains way This warus-mus-
tached scoundrel, who majored in
train and bank robbery in his
younger days, has caused more
grief in this world than a family OF
plaques. Ever since he came to
power he has alternated between
buying clothes that didn't it him
and ordering the execution of hordes
Of his fellow countrymen. They say
the man has writers cramp from
signing firing squad orders and put
ting his signatures on one-way tick
cts TO Siberia.
And those trials he supervised
for the colleagues he didn't like!
He not only fixed the judge and
the jury, but the defense attorneys
and spectators as well. No one re-
grets Hitler triumph more than I.
but If Adolf marches into Moscow
won't feel so bad about 1t If he
orders a trial" for comrade Joe
and gives him dose of his own
vodka. A double mickey" with a
Gatling gun chaser is what he de-
serves,
I'm sure no one will brand me as
bloodthirsty for getting a bang out
Of any German reverses in Russia. I
hope the Nazis get hell for every
Hell, and that they have to make a
retreat which will make Napoleons
withdrawal from the same territory
seem like a Vassar commencement
march in comparison. There can
be no more gratifying sight than
that Of two gangster nations tying
one another on the draw in a duel.
Another delightful angle OF the
scrap between Germany and Russia
Is the position in which it places the
Communists living and working in
this country. What1l they do now?
AL the monkey wrenches they have
collected to throw into defense ma
chinery, all the speeches against
preparedness they have memorized.
and all the plans of agitation they
have formulated are as useless as a
dentist on a poultry farm. Because
Russia, now that it is fighting Ger
many, is allied with the democracies.
Even a Communist can't very we'll
60 around hampering and hindering
his own cause. This situation is
going to make the Communists in
this country very unhappy. For
while, at least, they are going to be
forced to behave like decent, patri-
otic citizens, and can you imagine
any worse torture for breed that
isn't happy unless it is assembling
an internal machine under water or
knitting Christmas tie for the likes
Of Earl Browder?
So, on with the German Russian
war.
And may neither side run out Of
ammunition.
