have to make it snappy.
Wonder why no paper is seldom

o. C. Hall is really a grand
guy. Years ago, whenever we
thought he was out on limb 1--WE
all get out there), we used to rap
him over the knuckles with the
editorial typewriter. Unlike a lot
of folks, he could take it and give
in, too! Between the times we were
disagreeing with him we got much
help in advice and service from
him. He's a great guy! Leonard
Colston, the mill detective, is an

Eunice Brown, the office secre-
tary, has developed into a good
newspaper woman. She has a nose
for news and is always on the alert
to keep the advertisers happy.
Hope she keeps it up. Usually
when you praise the staff they
either turn about and go off in the
wrong direction or hit you for a
raise!
Help! Help! Wednesday night,

who the kind, thoughtful lady
was. Please, give us a ring if you

l WONDER

By Clara Robinson
AS I sit here alone, I wonder,
About the world of long ago;
Was it like the world today,
The war-tOrn world we know?
Was there ever a Garden of Eden,
Where joy for awhile did reign?
Where peace was the only law,
And there was no agony or pain!
Then again, wonder,
Can this world be happy and Sc
rene?
When will the great day come,
When peace is the reigning queen ?
Will there ever be a true Utopia,
Where all mankind will find
That they can all be supremacy
happy
If they leave greed and gain be-
hind?
Hopeful yet, offer a prayer,
That people will abide by Gods
will,
And obey that commandment,
That says, '"Thou shalt not kill"

LONDON, Eng, Oct. 30.-Re-

difficulty Emperor Halle Selassie

cratic rule in his country. British

ing link between the Fuehrer
and the German population
much more so than the press,
which is somewhat discredited.
They serve to prepare the
ground in their respective regions
for new developments so that the
population should not be taken
completely by surprise when
things start popping.
Hitler is reported to have told
his henchmen then that the Rus
slams had been behaving badly
of late and that relations had
become so strained that it was
probable that something drastic
would have to be done. Some Is
days later the German armies
blitzed the Russians.
At this meeting, according to
the same reports, Hitler spoke Of
the relations with the United
States. He is said to have ex-
pressed his disappointment at
the rapidly increasing tension
between Germany and the United
States. He blamed the Ameri-
can Government for this situa-
ton and told the gauletlers that
unless Mr.. Roosevelt reconsid-
cred his policies there was a prob
ability Of a clash between the
two countries. He was confident,
he said, that the clash would take
place on American territory. The
relations between Berlin and
Vichy were such, according to
Hitler, that Germany could count
on using the air base and the
naval bases at Dakar and Casa
blanca for any operations which
may become necessary in the
event the United States persists
in its present policies. The
scene of operations, Hitler is de-
clared to have said, would be
the Atlantic coast of South
America.
L. S. Policy IncomprehensibIe.
This report would have been
considered like many other such
bits of information-which have
reached Washington in the
course of the last two years as
an idle threat on the part of
the Fuehrer, had not Nazi ac-
tivities in Brazil and Argentina
been greatly increased of late.
But while necessary counter
preparations are being made now
to meet German threat from
within these countries by the
usual fifth column methods, the
reference to Dakar and Morocco
is Of grave concern. If it is true
that Hitler has the definite prom
ise of the French government
whether Marshal Petain is a
party in this plot or not, Is i'm
material to allow German

Girl Found in Storm Drain;

PASADENA, Calf, July 21.-
Eleven hours after she vanished In
a catacomb of storm drains, 12-year-
old Margaret Ann Vail was found
yesterday, grimy and i'll.
Two policemen, members of a
posse which spent the night search
ing the drains, arrested a 14-year-
old youth in cowboy costume, book
ing him for juvenile authorities for
investigation of kidnapping and
criminal assault.
The girl and her brother, David,
7, and a friend, Sylvia Thomasson,
9, were playing Saturday in a storm
drain beneath a city park. The
younger children reported boy had
seized Margaret Ann and carried
her, screaming, farther into the big
drain.
1t was nearly dawn before officers
Harold Thomas and M. j. Jiroy
found the boy in the drains and
forced him to lead them to the
girl.

planes to take of from the At
Iantic coast of French Africa,
then the policies of the State
Department are difficult to un-
derStand.
Last week the French tanker
Sheherazade and two cargo
boats, the Isle d'OueSSant and
the Isle de Noir Moutch, landed
at Dakar and Casablanca some
10000 tons of oil and gasoline.
These ships crossed the Atlantic
unmolested by British blockade
forces because Washington pre-
vailed on London after long con-
versations to permit the French
merchantmen to carry supplies
to Gen. Weygand, the command
er in chief of the French Army
in North Africa. The SheheraZ-
ade, the largest of these tank
ers-she carried 1900 tons of
fuel-had been detained by the
British at Bermuda for about
two months. She was finally
permitted to sail July 8.
Policy trainers in the State De-
partment still harbor the illusion
that Gen. Weygand will never
permit the Germans to use North
Africa for their own military
purposes. In order to strengthen
this alleged determination of the
French commander in chief "con-
cessions" are made to him and

But soon he Frank r. Kent.
must go farther. No informed per-
son, whether favoring or opposed,
thinks the Iceland occupation is our
final move. In the course we have
elected to follow one step inexor-
ably follows the other. They con-
stitute sequence and series, lead
ing straight to the one end-full
participation in the fight to defeat
Hitler. No matter how it may be
disguised, that is the fact. How
ever compelling the presidential
necessity not publicly to state this,
nothing else reconciles our policy
with reason. No one around Mr..
Roosevelt has any other idea. No
one near him expects us to stop
with Iceland. The next step-What-
ever it may be-is inevitable. 1t is
even now being contemplated. If
the Germans speedily conquer the
Russians it probably will be accel-
Grated. If the Russian resistance
continues effectively 1t will be timed
for a later period. But that an
other means of making our weight
effective against the German forces
soon will be found-and used-can
be accepted.
Like the steps we have taken, the
next will be justified as essential
for defense. On the theory that
the existence of a Europe dominated
by Hitler is a threat to our inde-
pendence and security, anything we
do, including shooting, can be re-
garded as defensive. But soon or
late the time will come when full
frankneSs with the people upon the
part of the President becomes i'm
perative-that is, if he is to be sup
ported in the last steps by the kind
of national unity indispensable to
last steps. 1t would be unfortunate,
indeed, to have to take the last
step if it meant loss of confidence

of people who have trusted him.
Pledges Embarrassing.
And that is exactly what will hap
pen if he continues steadfastly to-
ward the inevitable end, while ignor-
ing the personal promises which
assured the country we should
never reach that end. Some of these
promises already have been broken.
Senator Taft, in the Senate last
week, enumerated them. Others
have done and will do so. They were
contained not only in the Demo-
cratic platform, which the Presi-
dent dictated, and in the lease-lend
bill, but were reiterated in his own
speeches. He denounced those who
suggested that any armed forces
would be sent outside our borders
Evening star., 1941-07-21

the sending of these three ships
with general merchandise and
much gasoline is a part of the
scheme. According to State De-
partment officials, a number of
American consuls have been per-
mitted by the North African au-
thorities to go to Dakar and
other important places whence
they can supervise the distribu-
ton of gasoline and see that not
a quart falls into German hands.
Weygand Arouses Doubts.
The administration takes it for
granted that resumption of nor
NAL trade relations with French
Africa is the only way to make
the task of the Germans more
difficult. The position of the
State Department is that until a
acknowledgement becomes an active
belligerent everything should be
done to keep him contented. On
that theory We are sending oil
and gas to Japan.
But in other quarters grave
doubt is expressed about Gen.
Weygand'S attitude toward the
western democracies. In these
quarters 1t is pointed out that if
the French general had really
wished to support the British
and by implication the United
States-he has allowed a golden
opportunity to pass. This op-
portunity was offered last winter
when Gen. Wavell's army was
sweeping through North Africa
crushing the Italian forces there.
Had Gen. Weygand moved his
troops to join the British at that
time the entire aspect of the cam
paign In the Middle and East
ern Mediterranean would have
changed radically. Instead, he
remained complacently passive
in some quarters it is said that
he even allowed German motor
lied units to land at Sfax in
Tunisia to come to the rescue Of
the Italians.

By CONSTANTINE BROWN.

From confidential reports re-
Gently received in Washington 1t
appears that Hitler contem-
plates seriously waging war in
the Western Hemisphere by op-
erations on the Atlantic coast
of South America. The same re-
ports indicate that he has OBJ
tanned definite assurances from
the Vichy government that the
bases in Morocco and at Dakar
will be placed at his disposal for
this purpose.
Early in June, according to
these reports, Hitler summoned
his gauleiters to a meeting. The
gauletiers are the real connect
