MARCH OF THE COMMON PEOPLE
SPEECHES made in wartime by the statesmen of
nations at death grips are not always distin-
guished by temperate and balanced reasoning. They
run to bluster and bluff to intimidation and decep-
tion and the phony phrase. You have to weigh a
bushel of counterfeit coin to find one that rings true.
But when a sentence or a phrase really rings true
it stands out of the mass of phrases like a rocket fired
upward into the dark of night.
Such a phrase was uttered by Winston Churchill
in his broadcast to the people of France. “Vive la
France!” he cried. “Long live France and long live
also the forward march of the common people.”
The forward march of the common people!
What else is worth striving for in our common
activities banded together as society as government?
Churchill is speaking American language here lan-
guage that might have come from Tom Paine or
Andy Jackson or Abe Lincoln.
It calls up the long pageant of history—the com-
mon people as slaves building the pyramids of Egypt;
the common people as serfs working hopelessly for
feudal masters; the common people rising to claim
their manhood in the French Revolution; the common
people flinging a vast new civilization across the
American continent; the common people slowly and
painfully raising their status in the world of work
the world of culture the world of the spirit.
There have been many questionings about the
British war aims. British leaders have been remark-
ably reticent about just what they are fighting for.
What about the class-bound society of England peo-
ple ask; what about a free India? British statesman-
ship answers not intent only on the battle.
Thus it is like a ray of the rising sun to hear
Churchill thunder a pledge to the forward march of
the common people.
That is what the world fears might be halted by
new philosophies which stripped the common people
of their manhood and left them mere senseless cogs
in a state machine rolling relentlessly onward
to national glory and the aggrandizement of an elite
few daring to call themselves alone fit to rule. The
world fears that this long forward march might be
nullified and halted after all the bloody centuries.
Every country is democratic while engaged in an
overwhelming military effort. England is democratic
today.
Will Churchill dare to allow resumption after
the war. of the onward march of the common peo-
ple? Will he dare NOT to allow it?
STEP UP AND BE COUNTED
HESE are days when it is’every man's time to
step up and be counted. Sixteen million young
men have just registered for military service if and
when they are called upon. More than two million
aliens have likewise checked in.
For many that means two registrations. All male
aliens between 21 and 36 were required to register
under the draft law.
Nearly a million and a half aliens remain to be
counted before Dec. 28. the deadline according to
government estimates. It is especially to be noted
that registration under the draft does not exempt
aliens from also registering under the alien act. They
must step up and be counted both ways. There are
severe penalties for failure.
In these days of stress there is no excuse for
failure to comply with those measures which a free
people have freely decided are necessary to their
own safety.

■WHAT WE RE FIGHTING FOR"
When H O. Wells arrived in
this country three weeks ago he
described Lord Halifax the Brit-
ish Foreign Secretary as "the
quintessence of all that patriotic.
English-speaking men should be
afraid of ” He added with what
our reporter described as a chuc*^‘
le. that his visit was made possible
by the \erv Government which ne
so vehemently criticized “That"
he pointed out. "Is democracy
That's what we're fighting for.
News of these and other remarks
bv Mr Wells reached London this
aeek and led to what Is described
as a ’‘vitriolic debate" in the House
of Commons Earl Winterton want-
ed to know what the government
meant bv allowing that type ot
man to go to America The Gov-
ernment’s reply delivered by Cap-
tain Osbert Peake. Under-Secretar*
for the Home Office*. was that
Mr. Wells would bring bark gooc
American dollars needed for Brit-
ish credits; and that It would in-
jure British interests in this coun-
try to let the notion get around
that only hand-picked Govern-
ment spokesmen would be allowed
to lecture here.
In this assumption Captain Peak*
is correct. Earl Winterton leaves ui
cold. Our sympathy for Britain ir
this war is a sympathy for Brit-
ish democracy jcith its guarantee'
of individual rights We throw Uf
our hats for a nation strom
enough and civilized enough in th*
midst of a lile-and-death struggle
to permit a free disrussion of th*
great issues of war and peace Mr
Wells helps the British cause her*
more than an official spokesman
ever could because the fact thai
he can come and speak prove* that
the British cause like our own
rests on tolerance and freedom —
N Y Times
tob'N:'
By Paul Malion
WASHINGTON — The Greeks
w have no word for their army
It Is the worst in Europe. Only
the Roumanian is possibly as bad-
ly equipped.
While the mountainous terram
afforded them every prospect of
tiow retreat there was no au-
thority here who thouhgt they
rould look any way but back when
the Italian blow first fell upon
them.
The common expectation then
was that the Greek government
would eventually be forced to re-
tire to the protection of hastily
imported British guru upon islands
to the south possibly Crete.
YJUSSOLINIS stroke will at least
m stop the Italian people from
speculating as to what happened to
the so-cAlled terrific drive which
General Graziani has been con- j
ducting kneerieep In Egyptian sand.
You will remember that terrific
thing started September 14 with
extravagant advertising In the
fascist press Headlines sponsored
bv Mussolini * O H Q. told of bril-
liant conquests of British sand
dunes which were really undefend-
ed.
The secret has been fairly well
kept even from the outside world
but the fact i* Graziani bogged
down in the sand about half way
from Sidi Barran to Matruh first
fortified British position. Shelling
cf his single road of supplies
through the desert by the British
fleet and the problem of water
supply marie him considerably less
terrific than advertised. His failure
was covered by almost daily re-
ports from the front that he has
been preparing new roads outside
the range of British vessels.
"THE SUBSTITUTE goals which
Adolf and Benito are seeking in
the Near East. In lieu of their
failure In England are far below
'he heights of their primary ambi-
tions.
All that Greece has to offer are
landing fields and submarine ba^es
for Italian operations against the
British fleet off Alexandria.
The real objective Is Turkey as
Turkey well knew. The dream of
Teutonic expansion there was bor-
rowed bv Hitle- from the Kaiser.
The Kaiser s old Idea of a railroad
from Eerhn to Bagdad and the oil
fields of Persia has now been real-
j Izcd and will or useful to Hitler
a* soon as the road can be wrested
from Turkish hands.
The Turks let the British under-
stand beforehand they preferred to
*ight on their own soil rather than
to help Greece or Bulgaria.
r” ROANS AND grunts are com-
VJ ing out of the transom of
democratic headquarter; here The
lads are arguui" among themselves
as to how* much better the cam-
paign could have been run Chief
inn*r complaint is that Mr Roose-
velt should have started earlier
especially on the peace line. The
ihreats of crisis involving the
United States were promoted vig-
orously at the outset of the cam-
naign as a Justification for the
third term Not unt4l Mr Roose-
velt’s long delayed first speech on
the stump in Philadelphia was the
twitch to the peace motif accom-
plished to meet the “hell get us
Into war” charges by republicans. 1
The technicians are inclined to
blame new national chairman i
Flynn for the current hiatus Flvnn
does not have the personal con-
tacts scattered In every precinct
throughout the country as did
Farley to keep in closest touch
with what is going on.
Another common complaint Is
that the party wheelhorses have
been taking it 'ar too easy for the
good of their cause.
LJINTS ARE Increasing that a
ecret opposition to the third
term may become evident next
Tuesday A democratic figure here
known to have strongly opposed the
third term was surprised to find
