0UR President is a busy man.
" with headaches enough TO
start the seams of the Capitol
dome. so that which / am about
to say is tossed into the discus
sion with no flippant or nagging
intent bit only to recapture a
page which apparently blew off
the rack during both of his re-
cent orations on dictators - the
dirty dogs-and what they can't
do TO us.
In n the.' of these state
papers did / detect any refer
ence to Josef Stain. whose sane
ton. II may be remembered. was
the go-ahead which started the
present world war and who has
been just as guilty as Adolf Hit
Ter. though in a less spectacular
and perhaps smarter way. in the
matter of consuming little ma
tons which were minding their
own bushes and hoping nobody
would notice them.
THAT Stain is a dictator who
i denies religious, intellectual
and political FIRE e d o m to his
subjects is a proposition tn
doesn't even require discussion.
Certainly il would not take
five minutes to produce out OF
the newspaper files Of the timex
proof that Hitler started tn s
war only after he had received
Stain : pkaN in the form OF an
economic and military conspir-
aCEagyaInSEti4 The ree- people az
the world
From the a ct that Hitler
didn't make his move until he
and Stain got together we may
conclude that Stain knew and
intended that his treaty with
der fuehrer would start the Ger
mans rolling into Poland IN that
terrible hour which all the world
80 long had lived in fear of.
Soon thereafter Stains men
showed into Poland 10 a line
which had been agreed upon
with Hitler and when their
armies met. POLAND was no more,
and God only knows what hap
pened to the unfortunate human
beings who had fled from Hit
lerS killers where they found
themselves trapped by the TO-
bots of the Red Gar
CTALIN. by agreement with
~ Hitler, then spread out over
the Baltic country and. in a
move which all but the few
Communists among us regarded
a. a terribly wicked aggression
against a small. clean, virtuous
nation. all but killed Finland.
Ever since the war began by
Stains permission. Hitler'S ac-
quisiti0nS of slaves and living
room achieved at the cost of
military effort and skill have
been accompanied by roughly
corresponding gains Of slaves
and land for Josef Stain at
practically. no cost 10 him, eX-
ccpt in the case of Finland
Morally there IS no difference
between Hitler and Stain. and
in their attitude toward the
United States they have been
about alike. too, having both
maintained conSpiracies here
against our peace and safety
financed and directed from their
respective capitals while they
we're making a-pretenSe of Dip
l0mafiC friendship
If there is any difference at
all II is In favor of Hitler and
against Stain. because we had
had trouble with the Nuscovites
before and, as a condition OF the
resumption Of diplomatic rela-
tions in 1898 made them prom

Once Big Pine was deep in fer
tile soil, the accumulation OF
ages of leafmold over the foun-
dation rock. Then came the white
settlers, bringing their inevitable
waste and folly with them: they
burned the jungles, and the soil
with it, until now the bare rock
shows like paved road all
through what now remains OF
the forest. Sill. Nature works to
redeem it. The pines and the
palms sprout in the saucer-like
pockets of leaf-mold, search for
cracks in the rock, and root
deeply in the moist and softer
limestone below; and drop their
leaves to cover again the barred
rocks. Farther on, where we were
later to go, the rock is rougher;
pits and pools hold some water
and the jungle is almost too
dense to penetrate.
But here in the rocks were the
silver palms. one larrer with
rounded fans, the other slender
with its fronds cut to the center;
and here we found a smilax or
cat-briar, this one with narrow
