Grim Nation

While there may be a difference of opinion as to the part Britain is playing in the current world conflict, there can't be anything but agreement on the heroic job the nation at home is doing. Any beleagured nation might be expected to do the same, but it's unusual to read of a shabby England. Yet that's just about the best descriptive adjective that could be used to give an idea of what England is really like now. You notice it on every side for the Nazi bombers didn't miss very much when they were in control of the air over the island.
 But it goes deeper than that. Imagine one London shoe repairing shop having 15,000 pairs of shoes awaiting attention. New orders won't be filled for three or four weeks. The nation is now being asked to save 10,000,000 tons of coal annually, domestic consumption provid- ing six of these millions. After August l long list of articles, not considered strictly useful to the war effort, will go out of production. Men and women released for work will go into war plants.
 Salvage in England is serious matter, not voluntary service. If, for example, you burn up some paper that could be utilized you are liable to $25 fine. Rags, rope, string can't be mixed in your back door salvage dump. Even the level you can draw water to in your bath-tub is
 strictly regulated. The amount of cleo tricity householder burns is restricted. And that's just skirting the fringe of what it means to be a nation at war with the war front just across the narrow English channel. England in made-over clothes is indeed new England; maybe for the best, too.

Wellington to Marshall

The War Department has made public the text of letter sent by the Duke of Wellington in 1910 to the then British secretary of state for war: T must remind your Lordship-for the last time-that so long as retain an independent posi- tion, shall see that no officer under my command is debarred by attending to the futile driveling of mere quill driving in your Lordship's office-from attending to his first duty-which is, and always has been, so to train the private men un- der his command that they may, without question, beat any force opposed to them in the field"
 General Marshall suggested, in publi- cizing the letter that our troop com manders in the field might feel as did the Iron Duke. The inference, we hope and believe: America expects every field of ficer to use his head

The Power to Tax

As the Supreme Courts five to four division suggests, there were conflicting issues involved in the question whether communities have the right to impose license fee upon the distribution of re- ligious literature. Opelika, Ala, charged $5 fee from transient book agents. Fort Smith, Ark, voted peddler's license of Casa Grande, Ariz., charged transient merchants $25 quarterly as license fee.
 Jehovah's Witnesses, a minority sect which has been frequent source of strife throughout the country, distributed re- hgiouS literature and asked contributions in return. The Witnesses were required to pay the peddlers' fees. They went to court. Five justices ruled that the fees were constitutional, while four dissented strongly. The language of the majority opinion, written by Justice Reed, is start ling in it's apparent contravention of the constitutional guarantees of freedom Of speech and of religion, which, the analy- sis holds, are not absolute but subject to abridgement.
 We doubt whether Justice Reed and his four associates meant what they ap- peared to mean. The unfortunate thing is that men so highly placed, presumed to be so meticulouS in their selection ot words, should have used phrases capable of double meaning, which may arise for generations to plague bot hthe court and democracy in general. Unquestionably communities have the right to license peddlerS, just as they can tax merchants with stores.
 There can be no question of the locali- ties right to control gatherings which impede the general citizenry in it's normal activities, to forbid unsanitary and un- slightly littering of the streets, to prevent persons of one persuasion from forcing their opinions upon others who do not want to listen. The very basis of civiliza- ticn rests upon the thesis that the privi- leges of any individual are subordinate to the rights of the community as whole Any other thesis would be anarchy.
 The community cannot tell an individ. ual in what God he shall have faith, or what he shall belive about that God. We doubt whether the community could tax and one of religious literature $25 day. That would be using the power to tax as means of destroying proper religious functions.
 But all the Supreme Court really said was that, so far as the Constitution IS concerned, religious orders, minority or majority, must be subjected to the same general rules for orderly conduct that apply to other groups. With this, there can hardly be much disagreement.

We don't suppose that the nation will receive the news that Congress is going to enjoy an informal recess of several weeks any too kindly. People just don't seem to appreciate Congress or our national legislators. Too often they say unkind things about the men who make our laws and keep our country on even keel. Many a time this criticism is de- served, because it serves as a check on Congress and brings it up sharply when it might be going off at a tangent. Other times, though, the representatives and senators take lot of abuse they don't deserve collectively If we'd only single out the culprits when criticism is to be voiced it'd be all right, but we're gen. erous and usually include all in the in- dictment. But there shouldn't be too much said if little groups of legislators steal away from Washington and enjoy themselves in their home districts for a couple of weeks. After all the Washing ton pressure has no equal in all the world.

The Ramifcations

Now that the decision is in and it's State Highway Commissioner William J. Cox again, speculation is rife as to what this means to Democrats and Republl- cans, readying themselves for an cleo ton fight in the fall. It might offend official feelings if we were to say that the average citizen won't be very much disturbed by what has transpired dur ing the hearing or disposition of the case by the governor. These are rather hectic times and we really wonder if MT. Aver age Man has time to ponder on the vagaries of human nature.
 Politically we presume there will be efforts made to capitalize on the investi- gation and the subsequent decision. Both Democrats and Republicans will prob ably try to make use of the case as cam paign issue. Maybe there will be votes swung one way or another. But again we say, perhaps rashly, that conditions are such that the voting public is apa- thetic to things like this and more ln- clined to ponder over 3 to II p. m. shifts, time -and-a-half for overtime, gasoline rationing, rent scarcity, etc.
 There never was too much public in- terest in the probe of the Highway De- partment In the first place Governor Hurley, when he was Public Works Com missioner, told the state that this bureau needed overhauling. In the second place when actual presentation of evidence began it was too technical for most peo- pie to get more than mildly interested. There was no avid demand for more such details as might be expected when high state officer is under charges as serious as those presented.
 Certainly the governor suffers nothing by his decision. AS matter of fact he emerges considerably stronger But it's very doubtful, to our way of thinking, k the Cox case can or will be used as po- iitical ammunition in the approaching @iaction.

The meat situation is apparently no better throughout New England this week than last. Without being an alarmist we're inclined to believe that we're going to feel the pinch of less meat for some time to come It may get worse; conditions might let up bit. But it stands to reason that meat of all de- scriptions is going to be hard to get when conditions are such as they are now. And don't forget that Uncle Sam right now is probably the biggest single GUS toner the packing houses have. They've got to satisfy his desires and his orders before the folks back home can be taken care of That's one of the factors cauS- ing the present shortage few take into consideration.

Selected Poem

PLEASURE CRUISE (David Morton in the Christian Science Monitor) This tall-treed, rowing star of quiet name, Whose way it is to cruise the atmospheres Past cool and cooling stars of limited fame Gazing awhile at every coast she hears Rides never near enough to any one To hear what sound is thereof war-or bird, Through meadow-flowers whose names we never
 heard. And we her sons an ddaughters, take our turn Staring at coastlines through the summer night And skeptic all we doubt if we should learn, By going there, sweeter sound Or sight Than thrush, and thrush -song, and these flowers
 that wear The names we gave them out of love we bear.

Berlin, Conn.
 July 26, 1942. Editor of The Democrat:
 An interesting booklet entitled Divide And Conquer" is being sent out by the Off1ce of Facts and Fg- ures, Washington, D. c. It contains the story of a Nazi terror and two paragraphs are printed as a fore word, from Hitler's book "Mein KGmpf."
 The booklet Is intended to show Hitler's strategy which he uses be- fore invasion. Note these quotations from various parts of the booklet and see what his aims are and how he works. On page 3, we find these words: Hitler knows that in order to conquer the world, he must first ehslave the mind of man and to- ward that end he is carrying out program of propaganda, black-mail and death. Because he fears truth, he has tried every means of wiping it off the face of the earth. Mental confusion, indecisiveness, panic, Hitler once said, "These are our weapons" The United States Is now subject to a total barrage of the Nazi strategy of terror. Hitler thinks Americans are suckers"
 Page 4. Before Hitler attacks any country, his agents carefully SOW seeds of hate and disunity, turning people against their own govern ments, governments against their al- lies, class against class Nazi agents combed the gossip columns of Paris newspapers for items that could be used as blackmail against prominent persons. Armed with scraps of personal dirt, they would force the victim to act as a Hitler agent and help spread rumors to confuse and demoralize the public. ]"

National socialism was worthless if limited to Germany alone Hitler has, said," and if it would not seal the rule of the superior race over the entire world for at least one thousand years" To extend national socialism, he is spending $3O0,O00,00O each year to organize Germans abroad and tO

Washington, Fernando Lobo, astute Minister Counselor of the Brazilian Embassy, stopped over- night at the strategic port of Be- lem, well known these days to many an American aviator.
 At Belem'S Grand Hotel, Lobo asked the proprietor how he liked the American flyers constantly passing through.
 Zine" said the proprietor. Fine. But once did the wrong thing. A captain came to the hotel, 8 big American, and he wrote his name in the book, but I didn't pay attention. I just gave him room on the top floor and forgot about him.
 "Then pretty soon came a colonel, and he signed the book. When he saw the name of the captain, he said to me, Look who you have here; this is the son of the President-Captain El- liOtt Roosevelt.

overlooking no bets in their ef- forts to disrupt good neighbor relations with South America. Here is one of the attest of the whoppers they have broadcast.
 Several months ago the city of Santiago, Chile, contracted to pur- chase 13 old trolleys from the Ere, Pa, street railway system. At the last minute the WIPE and the Office of War Transportation vetoed the deal because (D a car- go vessel couldn't be spared to de- liver the cars; (2) the trolleys were vitally needed in Atlanta, Ga, to provide transportation for war plant workers.
 The State Department explained this to the Chilean Embassy and was assured that the Chilean gov ernment and Santiago municipal authorities would readily under stand" the circumstances. Within A hours after an explanatory mes sage was sent to Santiago, Nazi shortwavers were on the air with 8 high-powered bulleton, broadcast all over South America, stating:
 Relations between the United States and Chile were further strained today when the United States blocked delivery of 1S street cars to the city of Sam tiago. The cars have already been paid for and are lying idle, but the United States refuses to permit their shipment to Sam tiago, where they are needed to solve a transportation crisis"
