Fruits OF Hull's Policy

We are an admirer of Secretary of State Cordell
Hull. The Tennesseean is a great American, and not
only the South, but the entire nation should be proud
of him.
His conciliatory policy to Vichy France came in
for much criticism, in some of which joined.
Americans couldn't see the wisdom of being friendly
with French Government which had betrayed the
cause of liberty and turned against it's friends.
With the recent invasion of Africa by the British
and Americans, Huls friends have proclaimed the easy
nature of the conquest and the slight casualties there as
justification for the much-condemned policy of ap-
peasement to the Vichy regime. They have
grounds to justify their defense of the Hull policy
For example, these friends say the Hull policy was
carried out in order to obtain vital information from
the territory to preserve the ideal of
freedom in France to encourage French opposition to
HtlerSm, and to prepare the background for the in
vasion of the Mediterranean, which has begun by
the occupation of North Africa.
We readily agree that in regard to the Vichy
Government, subsequent events have justified some
what the American Department of States careful treat
ment of France but that doesn't mean that the appease
ment policy has been justified for in the great major
ity of cases, where tried it failed miserably and its
continuance only aided our enemies.
Appeasement OF the Axis was first tried out in
the of Ethiopia when Italy conquered that nation
1t was next tried out in Spain when Britain France
and America sacrificed friendly, democratic govern
ment in the hopes of satisfying the Axis with victory
for their Spanish rebels Appeasement next tried
river IN an effort to preserve peace and prevent
European On the other side of the world appease-
ment was tried Japan, when we sold oil and SCRAP
metal while the Chinese friends of liberty were dying
IN the hopes by so doing of preventing war.
So, while the adherence of many prominent French
leaders in North Africa and their present cooperation
with the Allies may present justification for the
appeasement policy towards the Vichy regime all the
other trials of appeaseen resulted in the defeat and
the damage of the Allied cause.

At that point Mr. LETTERS dropped
an aside. one of the little human
remarks that are typical of him,
tinged though it is with a touch Of
irony Maybe if the people didn't
run around so much they could visit
their neighbors and they might
make friends and get better friends
that way"
Rubber and Economics
Rubber affects the social life of
the people. no doubt-the whole
American economy, rightly or
wrongly, is built on rubber and we
can't change it. Look at the farm
er. We have to have food. The
farmer can't go back to the horse
and wagon. If he could get the
horses. we couldn't build the wagons
now. He has to get the crops to
market-it all comes back to trans
portation.

"Best Seller" Increases

The Bible leads all other books in its sales but is
increasing them constantly.
Dr. Robert Taylor, executive secretary of the Chi
cago Bible Society and representative of the American
Bible Society termed the condition can amazing Bible
revival" and said that America is discovering the
Bible again.
1T isn't just flareup caused by the war but is
the result OF real spiritual renaissance which has been
coming for some time but has been ouckened bv the
war"
Many of the large publishing firms were weeks
behind IN their orders and the American Bible Society,"
which normally distributes 100000 copies annually
is running several days behind schedule.
The tempo of orders, Dr. Taylor said, began to rise
last spring and the increase has constantly accelerated
until it is hard to control"
AS evidence of the upswing in business, he pointed
to the distribution of 100000 Bibles and portions in
IL central states last compared to the 100000
expected to be sent out this year.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER
BY RAMON COFFMAN.

A small boy of English descent
took a walk alone one day in India.
He was hardly 4 years of age, but
he knew the way to the school in
Bombay where his father taught art.
Suddenly a large hen came from
the edge of small valley, and
sprang at him. Running as fast as
he could, he escaped. and when he
reached the school he told his father
of the event, sobbing as he spoke.
Many a child has kept an early
| fear through life, but John Kippling
the father of this child, did a wise
thing. He wrote little verse:
Who, once from a hen ran away.
When they said, You're a baby
He replied, Well I may be:
" But don't like these hens of Bombay" "
Before long little Rudyard Kipling
was laughing about what had hap
pened. Late in his life he said, It
have thought we'll of hens ever
since"
India was Rudyard's birthplace
and he lived there during his first
five years. In that period he had
native nurses who told him stories
about jungle animals, and these
stories he did not forget.
Another important thing about his
early years is the fact that he
learned to speak Hindustani. This
is the most widely used language in
India. When he returned to the
country, he was able to pick 1t up
again.
There was to be a large space in
his life in which he saw no more of
