TODAY, and TOMORROW
BY WALTER LIPPMANN =
Invitation To France

United Nations? Why in the name
of common sense should we not
favor our good friends, our tested
allies, our true partners in the great
battles of liberation?
What is the sense of tying our
selves up in metaphysical knots
about legitimacy, sovereignty, de-
mocracy, and liberty? The men
who did not betray the French Re-
public and never deserted it are
the true representatives of legiti-
macy. The men who remained true
othe international obligations of
France, and fought on side by side
with Britain in 1910, are the true
bearers of French sovereignty The
men who fought for French demo-
cracy, whose comrades have died
for French liberty, can speak now
for French democracy and for
French liberty.
Let us call them into our a1li-
ance. Let them sit in our councils.
Let us treat them not as clients
but as partners in the consumma-
ton of victory and the shaping Of
the world. If we do this, casting
aside forever the niggling Of the
past, we shall surely find once
more that mignanimity IS not sell
dom the truest wisdom.

AT U.N.C. FINALS

versal athletic training rather than
military training for the youths OF
tomorrow was advocated here to-
night by Josephus Daniels, Raleigh
publisher and forme Secretary OF
the Navy and Ambassador toMexi-
co. who addressed graduates at
the fourth commencement exer-
cises to be held at the University
of North Carolina this year.
ALREADY, while fighting is in pro-
gress, there is propaganda to put
all the youth in uniform" he re-
minded the graduates. There are
not wanting those VINO approve the
Mussolini and Hitler plan of intro
ducing military training in the ele-
menta-y schools. Others would
confine it to those in the nigh
schools.
1.-The argument is that it makes
for physical strength and discip-
lines youth. True, but it was the
athletic fields of Rugby not COM
pulsory drilling that won the Bat
tie of Waterloo. When all youths
receive athletic training, as they
should, they will be fit and ready
for duties of peace and war;" DAN
iels declared.
Approximately 1875 seniors and
graduate students received their de-
grees at the exercises in the

attended it, because I heard every
moment OF 1t, In perfect clarity, on the
short-wave radio from Germany.
Consider the moment! The German
armies are in collapse all over Europe.
The Allies are at the gates. Axis satel-
lites are deserting faster than the news
papers can record their defections. The
roof OF Germany is uncovered, without
protection. The weight Of Allied armor
Is astronomical. The best German divi-
sions are destroyed or captured, west
and east. 1t Is not 1918. It IL q moment
unprecedented in the history OF the
Reich.
Germany has lost millions Of her best
military classes. II there Is any future
for any Germany, 1t depends on the
youngsters who cannot be drafted in
this war. No one-not even Gen.
Guderian-believes In victory. He knows
the war Il lost.
But what is his reaction?
A huge theatrical performance Is
staged. On vast open feld, thousands
Of children are assembled-lads from
- to II years Of age. Throughout Ger
many tho same youths are participat.
ing as listeners. These youths have
been dressed for the occasion-in shorts,
with their upper bodies bare. The radio
announcer describes their beauty-their
tanned bodies, the CLINT Of the sunshine
on their blond heads They sing in
chorus and over 1000 miles Of ether
one hears children sihging-not men.
The leader Of German youth, In
pathetic, hysterical voice, offers these
acres OF children to the chief Of the
army command.
Gen. Guderian speaks. flrst rs a
father to his children. His words are
full Of love and pride in them. But
what is the occasion? 1t Is a great
recruiting meeting. Under the infiu-
ence Of vast theatricality, with every
thing mobilised to incite their emotions,
these children are being called up-yes,
those Of Is years-vountarily to hurl
their bodies in the path Of machines
for lost cause. All dressed up. with
the sun gliding their childish heads,
they are being offered up as Q ma
tional sacrifice.
The whole affair was like vast PAGAN
festival, in which the virgin innocents
are thrown upon funeral pyre. There
was no reality about it, no common
sense. only vast, monstrous ro-
manticism.
