But one of them has not been much stressed up to now.
And it is important.
It is simply this: the French people were not told the
truth about their situation. The result was that, fed on aj
diet of "credulity, complacency, and imbecile optimism," they
were’ not prepared for the worst when it began to happen.
And so their morale crumbled.
A writer for the Manchester Guardian, formerly its Paris
correspondent, has called attention to the havoc wrought by
the French censorship on the morale of the people.
The censorship, he said, “did not merely suppress un-
pleasant truths, but ie encouraged pleasant falsehoods." For
instance, the censorship would not have passed, he said, any
reference to the shortage of sugar in Paris. (Yet every Pari-
sian knew it existed). All articles suggesting that Italy and
Spain might split off from Germany were eagerly parsed,
•Anything that suggested that Italy or Spain were unfriendly
to the allies was blue-penciled.’ « *
• * •
The result was that the French people lived in a pleasant
fog of self-deception. And when military disaster came,
most people were so stunned that they could scarcely believe
it, let alone cope with it.
Britain hasn’t been making that mistake thus far. From
Churchill down, their leaders have cried calamity, preparing
people for the worst. The British press has freely criticized
the state of Britain’s readiness.
The result: Britain has not yet shown any sign of crack-
ing. .
It should be so in the United States. We are a people ac-}
customed to know the truth. Any attempts to suppress it
would have a very bad effect.
The American people is like that. It will not respond un-'
less its leaders take it completely into their confidence.
It does not thrive, when spoon-fed on a pap of complacen-
cy and witless optimism. It grows strong only on a diet of
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

got no further, for Sadie
called to the telephone.
Martin chewed his lip.
nervously tapped the floor' with
the toe of his shoe.
"Looks like we made the mis-
take of our lives to come -here."
Martin rose and picked up his
hat. "This girl doesn’t know any-
thing and she’s too dumb to get
anything straight. Personally, I’m
not going to sit here wasting
time."
Ken held up a hand. "Wait' a’’
minute . . . here she comes."
Sadie reappeared. "It was my
boy friend He's simply furious . .
You're going already?" Her big
eyes traveled to Martin.
"He's nervous. We have an en-
gagement." said Ken, rising also
"But wait — I just called tfie
salesgirl,' said Sadie. "She says
that the girls didn't exactly come
in together. Mias Graham hurried
in and seemed to be awfully ner-
vous. She hardly looked at herself
while she tried on the hat. She
kept watohing the girl Who fol-
lowed her into the shop."
.“Followed her?" said Martin
sharply. "Can you describe this
other girl?”
"The salesgirl said she Was big
and wore a eoonskin coat. She
said she was waiting for her friend.
Then she left with Miss Graham."
"You didn't, yourself, s^e the
other girl?” asked Ken.
CHARTER XIX
Molly’s niece Sadie was a plump
girl with her hair done into a be-
wildering arrangement of whirls
and puffs. She^talked with a lisp
in a baby voice.
She uahered Ken and Martin
Into the living room of her small
apartment and explained that she
had risked the wrath of her boy
friend by waiting for them.
"He's so jealous!" she said, bat-
ting heavily mascaraed eyelashes.
Ken explained. "All we want to
know is this: are you certain that
you saw this gentleman’s financee
leave the hat shop with another
girl?" %
■'Fiancee? Oh, how romantic!"
sighed Sadie.
Martin stiffened. Ken grinned.
"I'll tell you all I know." said
Sadie.
i.
She took the long way around.
She gave a complete history of the
red hat It was an original model.
Lots of women liked it but ob-
jected to the price,
Ken interrupted. “We're inter-
ested in the girl, not the hat:”
Martin said: "The main thing I think
we want to know is this: did the | •“;_
other girl leave the shop with Miss Judy?"
"Judy . . . what a cute name,”
digressed Sadie.
Ken restrained the desire to fol-
Graham ?”
Sadie opened her eyes wide. “Of
course. She waited for het* That's
what I told Aunt Molly. She came j low Martin. "Listen, MlBs Graham
in with Miss Graham. At any rate, |
she left the shop with her."

time.
"Your girl looked sad." She

coat sleeve. "Wait • • • see wbat
Sadie has to tell us.”
Martin said flatly, "I’ve heard
what she has to tell us. Judy left
t hemhop with a girl in a coonskin
ccat. That's all this girl knows."
Sadie, tossed her head. "I told
just what you asked me."' Her tone
was injured "I've gotten in v, rong
with my boy friend, and it isn't so
easy nowadays ..."
Martin was gone,
banged behind him.
Ken apologized. “You’ mustn't
take offense. He's terribly wor-
ried . . . terribly in love . .'. ”
Sadie sighed. "Just like’my boy
f fiend."
Ken said. "Now look here. You

Sadie shook her head. "1 don’t
so."

may be in danger. She didn't keep
an appointment with us. Terrible
things happen in a big city ..."
Sadie nodded. "Like in the con-
fession stories."
Ken began to thin’k Martin was
right. The girl was an empty-
headted fool.
“I do know what the girl was
doing while she waited," said Sa-
die suddenly. “She was reading a
magazine. I know because she for-
got to take it with her and ft's one
that, I’m crazy about and missed
my copy at the drugstore The
salesgirl found it after the big girl
left and knew I was wild about
romantic confessions, so she asked
me . . . " -
- Ken only half listened while he
waited politely until Sadie paused
for breath. Then, suddenly, an
idea struck him.
He gripped Sadie by both arms.
"You say tnat you have the mag-
azine jhat the glrlleft?”
“That's what I've been telling
you . . . "( ,
"Where is it? Get it!”
"Here it is." Sadie dragged a
magazine out from under the
scattered sheets of the -evening
paper.
"Here," Ken jammed a bill into
her fingers. “Buy yourself a truck-
load of magazines. I want this one.
O. K. ?" T'
He was already out of the door.

without speaking. He climbed into
the taxi which Martin flagged.
He observed quietly, "Guess I’H‘
buzz off and let you work this out
alone.” J
After a minute, Martin said
grufflv "Sorry. This thing's got
me down. We haven’t a single clue {
worth calling one.”
"hut we have a clue, insisted
Ken. He dragged the magazine
from his pocket.
"You don’t mean to tell me you
hope to find Judy with that?"
“But I do," said Ken.
(To be continued)
W/ AS H 1 N G TO N.—Until the
w Democrats pick a neifc chair-
man for their national commit-
tee to replace the irreplaceable
Jim Farley, it will not be possible
to say just how
far the "ama-_
teur polipehkQ”
manage ment
which put over
the third term
Idea will be
continued in
the campaign.
Meanwhile, it
ought to be no-
ticed that Mr.
Roosevelt'i
amateurs have
done fairly well
by themselves
despite the fact
that they have
made a lot of
the professionals pretty sore.
The line-up of. the Democratic
party today Is unusual, in that
effective control lies pretty much
in the hands of men like Harry
Hopkins and the brain-trusters.
Boss-Mayors Kelly and Hague are
useful, of course, and sucfi Senate
veterans as Barkley and Byrnes
are in there pitching all the time
But the big decisions are all being
handed down through Hopkins
and ins crowd. And for all their
inexperience an^ lack of tact, the
Hopkins group is getting exactly
what it wants and making politi-
cal veterans like Paul McNutt.
Snm Rayburn. Carter Glass, Ben-
nett Clark, and Speaker Bankhead
take it and like it.
ts more man the New Dealers
themselves had counted on.
As a result, the attempt to
rationalize the Chicago program
is only ttpw being made.
One explanation beginning to
appear is that whether the party
wins or loses in November is ac-
tually less important than the tact
that the 1938 "purge” has now
been completed. According to this
theory, the way has finally been
paved for making the Democratic
party in effect, if not in name, a
real farmer-labdr party.
The farmer part of it comes In
with the triumph of Secretary
Wallace—who, incidentally, didn’t
himself know the President had
picked him as a running mate un-
til -about 12 hours before the nom-
ination. The labor part of course
comes in with Roosevelt himself.
Most of the important C. L O.
leaders are in line, and John L.
Lewis himself is apparently pre-
paring to swing Into the column
once more, despite his harsh words
a few months ago.
CAN SPLIT
BE HEALED?
TJOWEVER, the fact remains
that the beginnings of a bad
party split were made at Chicago.
Healing that split stands as the
big item qn the party’s immediate
program. " N
Garner is probably gone for
good, though much of his follow-
ing can probably be wooed back
into Uie fold if suitable harmoniz-
ing measures are taken. The
much-talked-of bolt of “Willkie
Democrats" so far hasn't taken
away any important Democrats,
but it is likely to before long un-
less something is done. And it is
here that the New Dealers are
going to have to take counsel with
the more experienced party lead-
ers—the men like Byrnes, Bank-
head. Barkley, Harrison, and Wag-
ner—if the party is to avoid real
trouble.
Otherwise the present tentative
“inner circle" analysis of what
happened at Chicago is likely to
be al) too true: that the New
Dealers put a triumph inside the
party above a triumph at the polls
A S a. matter of fact, the New
Dealers rather surprise them-
selves by the extent of their suc-
cess. A Roosevelt- Wallace* ticket,
a new national chairman* to be1
named by the Nev Deal, complete
defeat for the Garnerites and the
Wheelentes. no compromise any-
