Nehru. Gandhi May Recall
John Bull as Easy Boss
By BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

IF HITLER and Hirohito ever
L meet as conquerors in Cal
eutta, Nehru and Gandhi will
think of John Bull as 1.-The easy
boss"
That may also be their last
pleasant thought as they are
lined up before a firing squad
one for being a MARKHAM and
the other for being pacifist.
THE three great unsolved
l. m cd ern mysteries are:
What became of Charley Ross,
was John James Audubon the
lost Dauphin" Louis) the
Seventeenth of France) and
what happened to the half-brig
Mary Celeste in November,
1872?
The Mary Celeste. as you may
recall, was found intact drift
ing off the Azores by the Del
Gracia. The captain. his wife,
his child and eight members Of
the crew were missing with one
lifeboat.
The weather was mild. The
brig was abandoned, apparently
in panic-haste. Nothing has ever
been heard from those who got
into that boat. not a stick of il
has ever been found and no one
knows what happened, although
exhaustive inquiries were in
Stituted.
MANY theories have been adj
A'A vanced: A sea serpent,
pirates, supernatural panic?
Conan Doyle wrote a fascinat-
ing story about it. Now the
Peabody Museum, of Boston,
issues a de luxe book, Mary
Celeste: The Odyssey of an
Abandoned Ship" by Charles
Edey Fay.
All the facts and documents
are at last laid before us, and
the author arrives at the most
plausible theory advanced SO
far.
Mr.. Fay's theory Is that the
captain detected a. leak in the
cargo of alcohol in the hold.
Fearing an explosion, he hastily
abandoned ship. A storm arose
and broke the towline of the
lifeboat to the Mary Celeste "a
broken rope was discovered
dangling from the halyards).
The boat went down in the
storm with all aboard.
That there had been some
kind of light explosion on board
is evidenced by the fact that

This book of the Peabody

mystery story of the year. And

solved it at last-without

7 AM READY for the argu-
Il ment that our case is diff
ferent because we are, as we
say, a democracy and make our

The answer is that the Ger

THE beaten Germans OF 1918
l. and after do not present
convincing portrait.
II is legitimate TO ask what
the attitude Of the German
people would have been If they
had won that war Would they
then have regretted their con-
quests over Belgium. France.
Italy, Russia, Britain and the
United States
Isn't IL more likely that they
would have considered them
selves, in their hearts. members
of a master race with a right
10 rule their victims with ffs
same brutality that they have
shown the Poles and French
this time?
One complaint against such
thinking is that if the German
people are given 10 understand
that defeat means obliteration
as a nation they viii fight 10
the death.
MS Would pTolOng the struggle
and cost lives on both sides.
But il isn't necessary 10 tell
them this. nor will they believe
any propaganda TO the contrary
from the Allied Nations.
They know that in defeat this
time the German nation will
cease to exist. for the brunt OF
the land fighting has been borne
by Soviet Russia concerning
whose methods and probable
intentions neither the Germans
nor the free peoples have any
illusions.
For that matter. has any one
seen any proposal from any
responsible man on The Allied
side Of this war rs 10 what else
would be done with beaten
Germany?

THE blood guilt of the leading
Il war makers has been recog-
nized and punishment has been
promised them and all those
responsible for the murder Of
hostages. but no promises have
been made that their nation
will be allowed TO live on as
such.
And it Is doubtful that they
would believe any assurances,
because they know their nation
deliberately made this war. need
lessly and wantonly. and has
carried IL on with unnecessary
cruelty.
II is said that 10 recognize
in the German people warlike
and brutal strain of character
is 10 indulge in the evil fallacy
of racism which is one OF their
own worst vices.
But how can any one who
rejects racism on that ground
consistently hold that the Ger
mans, as a people, are devoted 10
peace and kindly and poetic?
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-09-15

MOREOVER, any one who
WI decrieS as racism the attri-
button Of a warlike character TO
the German people Immediately
contradicts himself when he
speaks of German poets. philoso--
piers and scientists.
Were these men German nota-
bles and were their gifts TO the
world German contributions?
Because, Il so, then the
kaiser and Hitler and all the
evil men around them were Ger
man war makers and equally
expressive of the German people.
But all this is pretty idl-
because il must be assumed
that Germany will lose the war
and that, in that case. the future
of the German nation will be
decided by the man whose arms
fought them hardest, Joseph
Stain, who. up to now, has said
nothing about the peace-loving
nature of his enemies.

This means that November 3rd will
probably be behind us before anything
definite is done on this huge new
revenue measure. One cannot condone
unnecessary delays which will mean
practically that taxpayers. whether
