had been to Moscow and was
back In Warsaw; he was not de-
feated, and neither we're the
Russians. He was, however, not
only disappointed in Russia but
worried about the home front,
about the occupied countries of
the continent, and, above all,
about what the English might do.
He did not know their plans.
In this mood he talked at
length to Gen. de Caulaincourt,
loyal supporter of the Emperor,
who, however, had had the
temerity to warn him that
Europe was not behind him,
however clearly it might seem
to be; that only his armies were
holding down rebellion; that the
Russian campaign, as he. De
Caulaincourt had predicted, had
been a mistake.
Similar Arguments.
Napoleon argued with De Cau-
laincourt, and along almost ex-
actly the lines that Hitler used
on Sunday.
About the English, Napoleon
said: The English have
driven me to every step I have
taken. If they had only made
peace after Austerlitz, or after
Tflsit, I would have been quiet.
The people of Europe are blind
to their real dangers. They see
nothing but my armies, as
though the English were not
threatening them far more.
Europe should think of only
one enemy. That is the Rus
sian colossus"
Hitler: II do not know whether
all Englishmen will today still
consider 1t wise and enlightened
action to have rejected all the
efforts I made to obtain an un-
derstanding since 1888 or to re-
ject the alliance I offered as late
as September. 1889, and the peace
I offered after the Polish and
French campaigns. We all know
that regarding the reorganization

aimed at splitting the continent

The six or seven Italian divisions
on that front have been deci-
mated by Red fire. Added to that
are a large number of desertions.
Against the background of these
italian failures Hitler has been
wooing the French, fact which
causes grave concern to Musso-
lini, who is the real father of the
Axis. II Duce, after bringing
forth the idea of a combination
between Rome and Berlin for
joint profit from aggression, fell
into Hitler's trap and is worried
lest he be dislodged even from
his present subordinate position.
Building Mosquito Boats.
He is trying to persuade the
Fuehrer to start campaign in
the Eastern Mediterranean as
soon as possible, and has signifled
his acceptance Of the French as
allies in this battle. For months
the Italian general staff has been
preparing, under Mussolini's per-
sonal supervision, a strong force
In the Dodecanese Islands to be
used either against Syria and
Palestine or Turkey.
italian navy yards have slowed
down the construction of large
warships and are concentrating
on mosquito boats, practically
the only units in the Fascist
navy which have shown any

Libya have been strengthened

The Great Game of Politics
Economic Defeotsts Flourish Through Lack
Of Effective and Intelligent Financial Policy

nor from any other administration
source has there been a voice raised
to denounce these economic defeat
lists. Why? Why is the admins
tration so violently against the
feebler type and so complacent about
those who mean so much more?
The plain answer is that these de-
featists who predict that we will
collapse under the burden of a
$50, 000,000,000 national debt, and
that the American system of free
enterprise is doomed, get their real
encouragement from the admins
tration itself.
The administration, of course, does
not want these things to happen.
What 1t does. however, Is supply the
material without which assertions
such as these could not be put forth
at all. 1t is the lack Of an intelli-
gent and effective financial policy
and of firmly avowed purpose to
protect the existing economic sys-
tenn that makes such assertions
plausible and their realization pos
sible.
Waste of Public Money.
There are three distinct reasons
for this talk about the lack OF the
investment safety of Defense bonds;
about the inability OF the Nation to
stand up under a 10000 900 900
debt; about the passing of the free
enterprise system after the war. And
all three are based on the White
House attitude One is the failure
OF the President to stop the in
credible waste Of public money now
going on in Washington.
A second is his opposition to the
sales or any other tax that will af-
feet the great mass of low-income
individuals, whose earnings consti-
tute more than half the total ma
tlonal income and who are now un-
touched by direct taxation. The
third is the keeping in key govern
mental positions Of men who do not
believe in the profit system; who
see in the war an opportunity to
move toward these radical goals
and are more concerned in pushing
ahead New Deal reforms" than in
anything else.
A clear governmental determina-
ton to avert the sort of financial
chaos forecast by these defeatists
will avert it. 1t would, indeed, be
fine II some of our oratorical officials
should examine their own surround
ings with the idea of vaccinating
against this evil of which they do
not speak. There is no single thing
today that would so greatly promote
the national interests and further
our war effort than a firm White
House move to end waste and elimi-
nate the incompetent young radicals
In governmental positions Of power.

Mediterranean. provided the Of
fensive against the British in the
Near East begins soon.
In order to force the Fuehrer's
hand-if any forcing is needed
Mussolini has permitted rumors
to be circulated that Italy is
willing to sell out once more to
the highest bidder. These rumors
have emanated principally from
Spain, where, according to re-
ports, the italian Ambassador
conferred with Britain's Ambas-
sador, Sir Samuel Hoare.
Double Cross Is Dangerous.
Mussolini should know. as well
as any one else, that there are
enough Nazi forces in Italy to
make a double-cross dangerous,
if not impossible. This is par
ticularly true now when Hitler
has the French in the bag and
even Lavals deadiest enemies
would join enthusiastically in a
campaign against the Italians If
the Fuehrer orders it.
Mussonni relies, however, on
his potential nuisance value and
the fact that the Nazis and
French would have to pour
large force into the country to
keep it subdued. The Italians
have proved to be poor fighters in
this war, but the probability is
that they would give good &C
count of themselves if they were
fighting Germans.
1t is quite possible that conver-
sations between the Italian and
British Ambassadors in Spain
have taken place. Hoare was
friend of Mussolini until few
years ago. He and "Gauleiter"
Laval agreed to allow II Duce to
conquer Ethiopia, but lost out
when public opinion in France
and Britain forced both men out
Of Office.
Hopes to Hasten Hitler.
In any event, II Duce hopes the
suggestion that under certain
circumstances Italy would aban-
don the Nazi camp may influence
Hitler and hasten Mediterranean
operations.
From available information as
to the movement of German
forces it would appear that I-.tler
Is willing to satisfy his underling,
but that he would prefer to clean
up the Arctic Circle first by TAX
ing Murmansk and Archangel,
the two ports into which Amer
lean and British assistance for
the U. S. S. R. is flowing. The
German general staff is reluctant
to embark on operations in the
Mediterranean until the Arctic
Circle situation is settled.
Strong reinforcements have
reached and are continuing to
reach Marshal Rommel. But
whether Mussolini's impatience
for an immediate start will be
satisfied or whether he will have
to wait until the Nazi high COM
mands' other plans are fulfilled
Is matter which will be revealed
in the next few weeks.

ever since to get them ready on time
without neglecting private commits

At least one sizable contract was re-

What, if anything, the Govern

no contract, no understanding, even
with the Treasury Department on the
subject, but they assume that they
will not be left out on limb.
almost unknown in Baltimore
where they have worked as an artistic
team for several years, the Wilkin~
sons poster paintings are familiar to
thousands of Americans in and out of
the city through their connection with
nationally advertised commodities.
Last year one of their posters won the
first prize-a two faced clock of fine
workmanship-as the best in an an
nual exhibition of the advertising art,
and five of their posters were includ-
ed in list of the one hundred best
posters for 1910, selected by leading
art directors of big business organi-
cations. Their signature consists of
the family name preceded by queer
little figure representing father and
son carrying a paint brush on their
shoulders.
each poster begins with carefully
worked-out pencil sketch, complete to
the last detail of shadow and costume.
This sketch is then transferred by
pantograph to canvass and in it's en-
larged form is ready for the two coats
of paint. They may be applied by eth
er the senior or junior member of the
partnership, or both. No rule exists
for the collaboration between the ar
lists. Work is allotted as it develops.
One may undertake necessary re-
search to establish details of costume
and setting for a painting which
harks back in subject to an earlier
day. The other may, while the re-
search is in progress, work out the
composition of the painting itself. Or
they may work together on every step
of the project. So completely synthe-
sized are their methods and ideas that
they themselves are unable to detect
the slighters difference in their tech
niques. The finished painting, to all
appearances, is the work of a single

THREAT SHOWN
IN MODERN WARS

The Guarding Of strategic points,
such as bridges, utility plants, muni-
tions factories. technical universities,
reminds us that sabotage is one of the
threats of modern warfare. Besides
the material and destruction Of prop
erty and interference with industrial
activity which sabotage claims to ac-
complish, authorities everywhere are
warning citizens against mental sab
otage against pessimism. the feeling
Of futility, and defeatism.
While such problems may concern
us vitally, or may scarcely seem to
touch our lives at all, in the last an
alysis these are problems concerning
the common welfare.
It is significant that always at
great crises in human history Christ
ian people instinctively turn to the
Bible. And why? Surely because
they now that an understanding of
God provides a certain solution to
problems. Christ Jesus single state

his father. he went to the Maryland
Institute and took the fine arts course
graduating in the same class with
Miss Betty Lou Jones, who won the
second award in portraiturc and who
is now his Wife They have four
month-old SON. John Michael Wilkin-
son.
The elder Wilkinson. who is still
ON the right side Of middle age, en-
tered the poster field by way Of cal
endars and magazine covers. His
work has appeared on the covers of
many national magazines. AS pho
Biography tended more and more to
replace painting in these fields, he
gravitated to the commercial field, in
which he has achieved national re-
cognition. During residence of some
years in Philadelphia. where he was
art director for several advertising a
gencies, he married Miss Frances
Candy, whose father, Geroge S. Gan
dy, built the famous bridge between
st. Petersburg and Tampa, in Florida.
For their posters the Wilkinsons
concentrate on human-interest sub
jects. The pretty girl is conspicuous
" absent from their work. Men,
children and puppies-the kind of
face that will extract the comment,
that's so and so to the life"-will,
they believe, exert a far deeper and
more lasting effect on the public
mind than either a ravishing beauty
or a modernistic abstraction.
1T was the strength Of this con
viction that led the Wilkinsons to at
tempt to humanize the campaign to
sell bonds and stamps to the Ameri-
can public. Noting that the posters
which the Government had put out in
the early part of the campaign, were,
for the most part mechanistic in char
acter they presented a counter idea
in the form of a closeup depicting the
honest workman of today, overalled,
level-eyed, and smiling-part owner
in America. Their entry conceded
with new policy just adopted by the
Treasury, but until then, not given
expression in poster form. They got
the green light.
"The Wilkinsons are conscious that
what they are doing for the Govern
ment will form bit of history as the
art work of the war period. They be-
lieve that Americans will respond to
