Incredible

to be stranger than fiction. If H. G.
Wells had imagined the flight of
Rudolf Hess, the product of the
novelist's genius would have been
accepted with the natural skepticism
which is characteristic of the expert
enced reader of romances. But when
the incredible is demonstrated in
terms of history, the fact must be
accepted.
The first reaction of the world
public to the news that Hess was
missing was one of wonderment. 1t
appeared unlikely that person so
prominent could leave the Reich
without permission from Hitler.
When it was officially announced in
Berlin that Der Fuehrer's closest
friend actually had disappeared, the
explanation offered by the Nazi in
formation bureau to the effect that
he was victim of hallucinations"
was accepted as being logical in the
circumstances. Some individuals,
however, held fast to the theory that
more important issues were involved.
They argued that the riddle would
be read when the fugitive landed in
Sweden or Russia or, possibly,
Switzerland
Hess meanwhile had dared to risk
himself among the enemies of the
country he was deserting. With
courage which never has been denied
him at any point in his career, he
flew to Scotland, crashed his plane,
came to earth in a parachute and
was captured by farmer with a
pitchfork. The scene of his descent
from the clouds is one of the loveliest
in the world-the famous Loeb
Lomond district where Rob Roy found
sanctuary when outlawed by the
Scottish Parliament in 1862. Strange
tales are told in that part of the
Highlands, but none more weird than
that of the events of Saturday eve
ming, May 10, 1941.
To stress the fabulous aspect Of
Hess adventure, of course, is to
emphasize its significance in the
chronicle of humanity's present trib-
ulation. Mad or superlatively sane,
he remains personality of supreme
consequence because of the role he
has played in the making of the
prevailing tragedy. AS recently as ten
days ago he was addressing an audi
ence as representative of the chief
he had followed, aided and abetted
from 1921 onward. Hitler was his
hero as well as his friend. If now
they have broken, there Is abundant
precedent for their quarrel. Caesar,
as Patrick Henry remarked on a
memorable occasion, had his Brutus.
The architects of the French Revolu-
tion sent each other to the guillotine,
and there never has been in modern
times more bitter strife than that
between the disciples Of Lenin and
those OF Trotsky in Soviet Russia.
Hess may have fled to save his life.
1t is suggested that he had received
warning of another blood purge in
which he would be included. Such
danger, presumably, is not removed
from the adjutants he left behind.
They have been arrested, and 1t will
be no surprise If they are executed.
But another speculation also must
be mentioned There have been
hints that Hess vent to Britain on
political business-either to mislead
Winston Churchill about Hitler's next
moves in the war or to offer a pro-
poSal for peace. Until substantiating
evidence is forthcoming, both notions
are suspect. Even If support were
indicated for either, humanity
bewildered by turmoil-still would be
doubtful.

lowing statement appears: In August,
1884, he enlisted in the United States
Navy. There is nothing to show Just
how or why he became a newspaper cor
respondent, but we know the where; and
no ambitious reporter could ask better
chance for his first story than Stanley
had when he witnessed the first and Sec
ond attacks of the Federal forces on Fort
Fisher, N. C. On both occasions it fell
to Stanley to watch the fight and to tell
the story in his own lucid and vigorous

the newspapers and given to the world"

Wants Limited War" Now
And peace Offensive" Soon.

To the Editor Of The Star:
We must decide whether TO sacrifice
the lives Of some of our seamen. That
is what conveying would mean.
Our choice is between the certain loss
of some lives now, in the interest of ma
'tional safety and shortened war-and
the heavy risk of a much greater loss of
life later on, should failure to convoy
spell British defeat. Britain cannot de-
fend herself with torpedoed munitions.
Few will contend that victorious Hit
Ter would allow us to remain at peace
American lives are being sacrificed for
national defense even now. Deaths from
industrial accidents. normally numbering
thousands, have substantially increased
due to the sudden squirt in arms produc-
tion.
Lives thus lost in making munitions
later sunk by German submarines, may
be considered wasted. This waste should
be balanced against the loss of life an
ticipated from conveying.
II conveying means war, we must be
mature enough to wage limited war.
No matter how poignant the British ap-
peal, nor how subtle the insinuation
that America is ready to fight Hitler
to the last Englishman,' we must grimly
adhere to our determination not to send
conscript army outside this hemi-
sphere.
Above all, we should insist upon
genuine peace offensive" at the earliest
appropriate moment-perhaps next win
ter, If the Nazi machine is stalled by
that time. The instant they show signs
Of readiness, We must give the German
people an opportunity to renounce Hit
lerism in favor of "a new world order
a democratic, not slave order sWe must
offer new set Of Fourteen Points. And
this time we must ourselves join the new
order, to insure that these points will be
lived up to and that the old disorder
never shall menace us again.

Proposes American Fleet
For Guard Duty In the Pacific.

VI ouota Duty dCillE.
To the Editor of The Star:
The people Of the United States want
two inconsistent things. First, they
want to stay out of the war, and second,
they want to help Britain. The prob
lem, therefore, becomes one of how to
accomplish both of these detectives.
1t seems to me that there is simple
solution to this problem If the Govern
ment, as we'll as the people, actually
want to help the British and at the same
time are sincerely desirous of staying
out of the war.
The British government has a con-
siderable number of war vessels of all
different types in the Pacific engaged in
the duty of protecting such places as
Hong Kong, Singapore and other islands,
as well as Australia and New Zealand. I
propose that the United States send all
OF its fleet, excepting only very limited
number of war vessels, to the Pacific,
making specific undertaking with the
British to take over the protection of
the various British possessions in the
Pacific. This would then release for
convoy in the Atlantic practically the
entire British fleet.
A move such as suggested would give
to the British as much aid as they would
get by the use of our own war vessels
