a story owes its plot to crime
and detection need not pre-

Short detective fiction that is

available. But we are finding
them-in books, in magazines,
in the files of famous authors
and by arrangement with other
publishers as we'll as with
authors, we reprint in the ap-

Wendell Willkie in his Connecticut
speech last Saturday afternoon didn't
give much indication of deserving the
Republican Party in favor of the Demo-
cratic. On the basis of what he said
about party leadership and about Ray
Baldwin he seemed TO be right In line.
Not that there should be any doubt Of Mr..
Willkie remaining in line judged by his
own standards. But of late days he has
been mentioned by Democrats as a pos
sible candidate for the u. s. Senate In
New York State running alongside Of
Sen. James Mead for the governorship.
The idea isn't as preposter0us at 1t may
sound. And didn't New Hampshire Re-
publlcans nearly pass out of the picture
some days back when tried and true
member Of the party. ex-governor Fran
els p. Murphy, decided he'd be Demo
crat and run for office this fall. So don't
be surprised at the way political lines
are drawn and redrawn under the New
Deal.

The War Labor Boards new technique
for handling wildcat strikes has certain
merits, If one is not given TO worrying
about the future. BY using labor unions
to discipline members who walk out or
sit down without authorization, the WLB
gets production going without the I'M
pleasantness of a showdown against
workers.
Unfortunately, however one good turn
calls for another. If the United States Is
not capable of keeping its war produc-
ton going, without relying upon volun-
teer policemen, then who can protest
when the volunteers demand their quid
pro quo, in the shape OF WLB aid in en-
forcing closed shops. etc, against en-
plOyers?

J. Edgar Hoover's startling revelation
that his department had rounded up
large group of German saboteurs landed
nc two places along the Atlantic coast
from Nazi submarines should debate
American ego in one way and at the same
time cheer US up bit We're bit de-
Hated because so many of us have be-
lieved for a long time that the section OF
Atlantic coastline from the rock-bound
shores Of Maine to Miami's silvery sands
was proof against any invasion.
But it remained for the simple an
nouncement of a Oman coup to reveal
that those some shores had been invaded
very easily and simply and that the same
could happen on countless occasions, per-
hAps, without citizens of nearby COM
munities being any the wiser. How the
Omen came TO know about the invasion
and how they tracked the invaders is
private business. but how reassuring to
our peace Of mind. That's the cheerful
part of the announcement.
German saboteurs and foreign agents
may infiltrate the nation, may even get
i'm some of their dirty, deadly work, but
they're pretty sure to be caught and dis
posed of before too much damage can be
done. IN this instance just recorded 1t is
presumed that nothing had been accom-
plished by the agents prior TO their APP
prehension. All of which shows that ma
ti0nal defense Is functioning. Along the
production line men and machinery are
moving In rhythmic unison. And in other
channels, too, the same coordination is
apparent.
Yes, we can really believe the war Is
coming closer and closer to lis with each
passing moment, but we're stout-hearted
enough to know that we can overcome
and ultimately wipe out all attempts TO
wreck this nation. A democratic people
can't be licked OF their own free viii.
