Churchill and Hitler


Two speeches by Western Europe's
arch-opponents went out over the
ether Sunday. They were both no.
table, but for very different reasons.
Winston Churchill, Britains Prime
Minister, though newly recovered
from a serious illness, spoke to his
people with the tone OF one so as
sured OF ultimate victory that most
OF his address was concerned with
the postwar ordering Of Britain and
the world. While urging his hearers
to keep their eye on the ball" and
get on with the job" of winning a
war which might yet be prolonged,
his voice rang with the anticipation
Of victory.
Vastly different was the mood of
Adolf Hitler, emerging from the
shadows OF a mysterious retirement
that had lasted since November and
which had occasioned widespread
rumors that he was either dead or
insane. The very excuse for his
appearance before q select audience
OF generals and party bigwigs in the
Berlin Zeughaus or army museum
was a memorial day celebration ad-
1ourned for a week beyond schedule
possibly until the recovery of Khar-
kov at last gave Germany something
to celebrate.
Churchill's detailed suggestions OF
postwar national reconstruction
based on q four-year plan of eco
nomic and social reform along the
lines of the Beveridge report were
addressed primarily to his fellow
countrymen. OF more immediate
concern to the world at large were
his ideas in the field of world affairs.
He proceeded on the assumption that
the first task of the United Nations
was the crushing of Nazi Germany,
with subsequent concentration upon
Japan. "On this assumption" he
said, ut would be our hope that the
United Nations, headed by the three
great victorious powers " = should
Immediately begin to confer upon
the future world organization"
Mr.. Churchill stressed the problem
OF Europe as the most difficult and
the one to be tackled even while the
war in the Far East might still be
In progress. He envisioned "Coun-
Gil OF Europe" in which side by side
with the great powers there should
be a number OF groupings Of states
or considerations" Ultimately, he
forecast a corresponding Council Of
Asia. Finally, he deprecated detailed
discussions, especially about from
tiers" while the war was still far
from its conclusion.
In contrast to this confident yet
moderate diagnosis, Hitler's speech
was the usual farrago Of vituperation
and invective, appealing primarily
to the sentiments of hatred and fear.
The Fuehrer did his best to terrify
his fellow countrymen with horrid
visions Of the fate in store for them
after defeat in order to galvanize
them to greater sacrifices. Natural
ly, he tried to Offset this by assur-
ances of ultimate victory. But the
boasts and bombast Of former years
were notably absent It was an
obviously subdued and Debated Hit
Ter who spoke. admitting that Ger
many itself had become part Of the
front from hostile. air raids, and
conceding likewise that during the
past winter a gigantic disaster in
Russia had barely been averted.

serve the present time and still be worth
something when the war is over, you
have to build accordingly; and if you
want 1t done efficiently, just call on pri-
vate industry. The Government admit
tedly can do 1t with the taxpayers money
and let the Army engineers or the poll
ticians run the show. A good show they
can put on, too, but it is not business as
we have known It, OF course, if we are
going to change over to national social
ism anyway, as some fellows predict, then
1t makes no difference.

Butter

Persons who ordinarily would not
pause to give it second thought now
suddenly find that, like his majesty
the King in A. A. Mines delightful
poem, they appreciate little butter
on their bread. One of the psyche
logical results of rationing is that Of
creating new interest in common
foodstuffs, and what technically is
described as "a solid emulsion con-
tanning fat, water, curd, milk, sugar
and inorganic salts" is no exception
to the rule.
Who first invented the application
OF the rich and nourishing golden
yellow mixture to slices of the
wheaton loaf may never be known,
but the human race is indebted to
him for most notably delectable
combination. He was dietary genius
OF the rarest order. How long ago he
fourished has been suggested by the
words OF Leigh Hunt, who, in 184O,
declared: Bread, milk and butter are
of venerable antiquity. They taste
of the morning of the world" Long,
long before the dawn Of formal his
tory, the peoples of the mystic East
were familiar with the art of beating
cream until it coagulated A San
skirt proverb says: Butter Is life"
and one Of the ten references to it
In the Bible indicates that it was
held in the highest honor by the
Hebrews-Jael, the wife OF Heber the
Kenite, in the song of Deborah and
Barak, Judges, v.25, carries butter to
Sisera "in a lordly DISH" and he pays
for it with his head.
Some scholars believe that the cost
of the nutritious spread in classic
times was so great that only very
wealthy families could afford it,
Frank Frost Abbott in his study of
"The Common People of Ancient
Rome" explains: The ancient and
modern prices of butter and eggs
stand at the ratio of one to three
and one to six respectively" But
all such communities as participated
In the gradual expansion of agricul-
ture and dairying must have had
fairly easy access to both eggs and
butter under the empire, later
In the so-called Dark Ages" and
during the period of the development
OF industrial crafts in medieval Eu-
rope. Shakespeare mentions butter
directly on thirteen different occa-
sions, and it should be remembered
In that connection that he wrote for
a universal audience-the spectators
at his theaters included "groundlings"
as we'll as princes.
Yet hint Of the relative scarcity
and desirability of butter remains
In such affirmations as John Hey
woods Il know on which side my
bread is buttered," 1916, and Jona-
than Swifts Il won't quarrel with
my bread and butter" 1898. The
American tradition, it would seem.
traces back to the Vikings from
whom, by way of England, the Colo
nial settlers Of the Atlantic seaboard
borrowed the habit, discussed by DR..
Mary Wilhelmine Williams in her

as sauce ''in the preparation of

Censorship Of Radio Music
Advocated for Moral Benefit,

One evidence OF the generalization Of
our time is the music $50 called which
We hear each day over the radio.
In order to cater to the tastes of peo-
pie in different walks OF life, music,
aside from the classical, such as marches,
folk songs, ETC., could be used effectively.
Music is helpful and can be soul-stirring,
uplifting and refreshing. Why, then, do
we have so much, day by day. of the type
which is strictly demoralizing?
Would it not be possible to have music
censored and the publishing of certain
Objectionable songs and instrumental
selections disallowed? Needless to say,
our Nation must improve morally and
culturally, through the moral and cul-
tural development of its people.
Music can be very helpful if we have
the right kind.

Government Priority
On Building Materials Discussed.
To the Editor Of The Star:
When, oh, when. will the time come
when the war administration will release
its priority on building materials? Surely,
we must have about enough Army camps
and air bases by now
Here is hoping that the Government
will surrender its priority. in part at
least, to private builders for two or three
room cottages around overcrowded cities
and factories. This could be done under
FHA or with private capital.
