" Mr. Welles presumably will seek the

London. In spite of individious refer
ences to the "similar" European prowl-
ings of Col. House before 1917, we can
see no impropriety
patching a professional diplomat to get
first-hand information. For one thing,
we have had no ambassador in Berlin

of ‘38, and our ambassadors to London

POETIC REFLECTION
ON O’DANIEL PENSION
Editor, The Press:
Remembering back, we recall a
vivid picture of O'Daniel sincerely
advising grandma and grandpa to
hock their old rockers and donate
the money to his flour (not pork)
kegs if they wanted a$30 pension.
One of our widow-neighbors was
advised to go to the relief station
when her pension check was cut
$6. All the old folks receive the
same advice, and we wonder if
they all received the same for their
six dollars as our neighbor. She
hasn't a tooth in her head (not
even a false one), so wekinda

business" to refrain from offering its

JOHNSON
Is Our State
Department e
British Embassy?
By HIGH s. JOHNSON
TTERE we go again. The U. P.
11 quotes the British Bishop of *
Ely: "Unless there is some change
in the minds of nations, I cannot
see.any hope for the future of the
world in the rest of this century ”
He is not di------—
rectly quoted
as to who he
thinks should
repent, but he
earlier strongly
hinted: “If F
were a citizen
of the United
States I would
not have
an easy con-
science. Just__
standing aside Mr. Johnson
and doing noth-
ing when a great struggle for 4
erty is progressing, doing nothing
but getting rich quick in the sup-
ply of munitions to those engaged
in slaughter would not give me an
easy conscience."
This is an echo of recent resolu-
tions of some shepherds of Ameri-
can flocks—who are already
chanting: "The Son of God goes
forth to war . . . who follows in
his train?"
It is a faithful reproduction of
the constantly increasing priestly
incantations which helped push us
into the great war of 1917. It Is
a form of incitation known to our
ancestors ever since they began
walking On their hind legs—the
tom-tom beating and voo-doo
death masks of the African medi-
cine men, the ululations to some
Sitting Bull in a Sioux sun dance,
and the Allah-il-Allah of every
Arab incursion from Mohamet to
the Mad Mullah.
tllE seem also to be going jura-
W mentado about “leetle Fin-
land," and China—not so "leetle”
but plenty communistic. We are
going to lend money to both
knowing pretty well that it will
never be repaid and that the Fin-
| nish loan is made as a subterfuge.
' We got all heated up in the same
way about the "leetle Japs” in
| their war with Russia and they
turned around and ever since have
been kicking us in the pants if our
face was turned, and stepping on
our corns if it wasn't. Then we '
actually jumped and shot the
works, about "leetle Belgium."
These are not the only parallels.
Press reports say that our State
Department isn’t going to write
England any more tart notes
about interfering with our rights
on the high seas, or make public '
the instances in which she does in-
terfere, but just settle all such
quietly allee samee Walter Hines
Page, Colonel House and Robert
Lansing. Why the hell not make
public these Impertinences and our
record of protest. If any—unless
Senator Borah is right and the
State Department is just a British
embassy.
We also threaten to embargo
trade with Japan and sever diplo-
matic relations with Russia. Both
threats greatly serve Allied inter-
ests. But what American interest
do they serve? It is 1916 and 1917
all over .again, except that we are
moving much more rapidly in the
same direction. ,

reported in the papers and that they were
editorially deplored it is my impression,
however, that they caused less shock than
the persecutions of the Jews of Germany,
particularly the terror that followed the
retributive killing of a Nasi attache of
the German embassy in Paris. It occur-
red to me that we were raising a great
to-do over a debauch consisting mainly of
burning and looting and the confiscation
of money, attended by comparatively little
bloodshed, and 1 put this down to the fact
that the world had had an exaggerated
opinion of the intelligence and character
of the Nazis The disgust was aggra-
vated by the announcement of Joseph
Goebbels that thia revolting exhibition was
but a healthy expression of the true Ger-
man spirit The world stubbornly expected
better than this from the great German
people d -
TN Spain there was a difference. In the
1 first place, the horrors occurred in
the mad early days of a complete civil
war, and were by no means unilateral, aa
the diplomats say They were bilateral
or reciprocal and, moreover, Franco was
using Mohammedans and later used Ital-
ians and Germans to attack his own peo-
ple He attacked the government, and he
was identified with the church We have
learned, too, from Catholic authority that
vast numbers of ignorant Spaniards had
learned to hate the church during a time
when the church authorities had a duty
to serve them
Of course, the Communists whipped up
the fury of the masses of apostate Span-
lards,” and I am one who never allowed
personal attacks on Bill Carnev of the
New York Times by the evil Communist
journalistic claque to impair my belief in
the expose of Communist Influence In
Madrid, which he published after he
bailed out of the capital and before he was
assigned to Francos army I believe he
told the truth and that the Communists
of Russia ran the government after the
war began, but have no opinion aa to
whether they were In control before the
revolution broke The Intricacies of Span-
ish politics are such that the American
public simply can't have an intelligent
opinion on that
But in view of the attacks of the Com-
munists on the American press and in
view of the capitalistic nature of the pub-
lishing industry In the United States, it
seems absurd to say that the American
newspapers ever favored the Loyalists aa
Communists. Sympathy there may have
been for democracy In Spain, and it will
be remembered that Fascism and Naziism,
both terribly abhorrent to Americans, were
on Franco's side. Now the same Nasis
who were crusaders with Franco are en-
gaged in the cold-blooded work, or per-
haps It might better be called play—for
cruelty seems to give them jov—of annihi-
lat ing the whole Polish nation They are
slaughtering priests and defiling sacred
places and objects, and, tor the special
torture of this religious people, "even
girls, especially the good looking ones, are
being deported to Germany, to the despair
of their families,'’ as Cardinal Hlond’s re-
port says So wo were right about the
Naals all the time
Incidentally, although the Communists
circulated photographs of rows of bodies
of children who were said to have been
killed by Franco’s bombs, the same Com-
munists now applaud the slaughter of
Finnish civilians, including any children
who might be in the way, by Stalin's
planes They also attempt to discredit as
fakea the pictures sent back by American
photographers on the ground. All thia is
—just aa well, for they have no influence ex-
cept to convince people that the Commun-
let is vile beyond description
Ry now the world is so inured to atroc-
tty that even Cardinal Hlond’s report has
received less after comment than the Nazi
pogrom. The world has learned to ex-
pert nothing but the worst from the Ger-
man nation whenever it has strength to
persecute and ravish, but the American
press haa followed a fairly straight line
all the way. Our papers have reported the
news to the boot of their ability —which,
incidentally, ie of the best—and our edi-
tonal opinion consistently has hated the
foul horrors perpetrated by both Commun-
ism and Fascism, including the Loyalist
sourht-tn.end.the cnetimeniour. Dutch.
Great souls have no place for
resentment. When Washington
was beset by cabale. Lincoln by
Intrigues, and Wilson by political
saboteurs, they all prayed the
prayer of the Savior on the Cross
"Father, forgive them, for they
know not what they do."
In the crisis the God of Justice
lias always raised up a leader.
Who will gainsay that Washing-
ton was not the child of Provi-
dence, designated to free us from
the tyranny of English serfdom?
Or that Lincoln was not inspired
of God to emancipate an enslaved
people and preserve this nation's
political unity? Or that Wilson
was not the reincarnation of both

Knocking and bumping in a

She gummed on an onion as she

She'd been promised a pension and
this was her share.
Her hands were all calloused,
wrinkled and old;
A life of hard work was the story
they told.
And I thought of O'Daniel with
each bump and knock.
For she lost the old rocker he ad-

my sweater where it had bounced
