torships by the prime ministers
and foreign ministers . of both
countries. ,
In this respect the. words of
Lord Halifax a week ago are quite
different from- British utterances
prior to the eventa of last Septem
ber: "I should have thought that
everybody everywhere must now
realize that there la no party and
no statesman In this country that
would erer contemplate an ag
gressive war .. . But It la also
dangerous that" some people In
other -countries occasionally fall
Into the opposite , error and are
tempted to interpret our will to
peace as proof of our weakness
and cowardice.
' The material - and moral re
sources of this, country are enor
mous and the spirit of our people
is in no way-weakened." ,
Thia statement followed' a re
markable communication : from
Hitler, who, bating in season and
out bragged of possessing the
largest and most powerful fight
ing force in Europe, expressed
"pained surprise" at the state of
British rearmament.
'
Now thia rearmament la really
what is worrying the Axis powers.
A few months ago, before Munich,
they .were taunting the democra
cies with being weak and decadent
and incapable of efficient organi
sation for Either peace or war.
But suddenly they are discovering
that when the popular govern
ments and tree peoples make up
their minds to do something
through united effort sad collabo
ration amongst themselves they
can do It quite as speedily and ef
ficiently ss the totalitarian states.
Next month, the output of Brit
ish airplanes will, X am informed,
be three snd one-half times what
it was a year ago. and by July, it
would be boand to cast the decis
ive die in a contest la arms.
e e e - '
The second elemeat la the
stlffealag of the democracies has
been the unequivocal declaration
of solidarity between Britain sad
France and the very firm bat po
lite words addressed to the dicta-
Liberty Bell
it One : DIle nodl
no Appeal
THOMPSON
the present tempo is aot relaxed.
It will be as great aa the current
f outpnt of the Germans. Moreover.
the British snd French peoples
sre not exhausted by years of be
ing mobilized and perpetually
apeeded up. Aad these peoples
know perfectly well, despite the
propaganda of the dictatorships,
that not one of them Is arming
for aggression, but only in de
fense of their lands and their in
stitutions. And again. In this rearmament
the United States has played a
major role. Oar sales of airplanes
to Britain and France have fright
ened the potential aggressors and
actually the planes sold to France
will have enabled her to double
her force In 1939. It will still be
inferior to Italy and Germany.
; . 9 .
' In contrast with the stiffening
of the democratic action and ..mo
rale,! the economic condition and
the popular morale in both Italy
and Jiermauy hare worsened. It
cannot be too strongly emphasized
that the. prestige of Hitler and
Mussolini In their own countries
was both strengthened and shaken
by the events of last September.
In particular. Hitler's prestige
with the German people rests on
the fact that he has gotten what
he wanted so tar without war.
Bat Hitler discovered after Mb
victories last September that not
he but Chamberlain had become
the popular idol la Germany. For
the German people hate war as
much as any other people, and,
despite the propaganda of a con
trolled press snd radio, they rea
lize quite tally I that they were
spared a war not by grace of Hit
ler, or Mussolini, but by grace
of the democratic powers.
Also the victory has aot been
as sweet as was hoped. The acqui
sition of Austria and the Sudeten-
lsad has become aa enormous
burden on German economy. Con
quest has meant new taxes, aad
the ; taxes already are terrific
And, again despite the propagan
da, the German people do not be
lieve that they are being threat
ened by the . democratic powers.
They sre sullen toward their gov
ernment, there Is more outspoken
criticism than there has been in
all the years of the Hitler regime,
because the people feel that the
democracies, driven too tar, will
take a stand.
Also, la the countries of the
Canublan basin there is a notable
stiffening- In Hungary, Poland
and Yugo-Slavla.
e e e
The peace, therefore, that we at
present enjoy Is not due to ap
peasement, but is due to . resist
ance. One needa only to read the
German and Italian . press to be
aware of this. 1
The belligerently confident tone
of the Axla ,. powers changed
abruptly in January, immediately
following President Roosevelt's
address to congress. That the
spring may go by without another
worux-snaung incident is not .a
inumpn .. xor tne cnamberiain
Bonnet policy: it is a triumph" for
the " RooseTelt ' policy. And ' the
greatest thing that we bare ; to
tear Is that, comforted by the re
taxation of tension, the democra
tic powers will lapse from the
stand which has brought about
that mors fortunate atmosphere.
Mr. Henry L. Sttmson. secretary
of .state under President Hoover,

Vandalism aad Folly
Labyrinths are Intricate and
confusing networks ot : walks
and passages within hedges of
evergreen, formerly employed aa
a garden entertainment. They
were popular in the 18th and
17th centuries. It would be, as
one garden-writer says, "vanda
lism to destroy so tine an exam
ple i of a style ot gardening no
longer fashionable, bnt folly , to
C9py It la a modern garden."
I waa talking Just recently to
a pferson who had made a study
ot herbs, or "yarbs" as she was
more fond of calling them. This,
in part, is the information she
gare me:
Herbs for Tastlaess
To the critical palate the
skillful use of herbs marks the
difference between cooking that
is merely good and cooking that
Is extraordinary. To be sure
your grocer can supply them in
powdered form but nothing can
take the place of those yen hare
grown yourself.
No field of amateur gardening
is more interesting than herb
growing. (Remember that this
is what I was told. Not what I
believe when it comes to inter
est la gardening. Wo all have
our; own ideas.) Herbs can be
grown even though your space
is limited to a few flower pots
or a window box. No plants re
quire less care or pay greater
dividends than do herbs.
If you h a v e a yard, even
though' It 'be no more than . a
six: foot square you can hareaa
abundant herb garden.
If you must confine yourself
to flower pots and window boxes
It is best to limit your planting
to a few favorites. One pot
each of parsley, chervil, chives
and thyme will supply the aver
age family. For the window box
yon may add lemon balm and
Rosemary and Savory. Ia the
small back yard herbs may be
planted la an interestingly ar
ranged bed or used as a border
around a bit ot lawn or to out
line a bed of flowers. The grow
er may utilise a rock or a wall
as a background. He may hide
the ground-line about a post or
along a fence. Some of the
commonest herbs that excite the
least admiration are quite effec
tive when well grown sad well
placed.
Easy to Cultlvato
A good many of the herbs sre
exceedingly easy ot cultivation,
thriving well in any comparative
ly rich soil ot suitable physical
condition, and enduring the win
ter wet and changeableness. ' aad
the summer heat and drought.
Depth and physical condition of
soil are very important. Drain
age must bo of sufficient fine
ness for roots to penetrate at
least IS inches. The surface ot
the soil should be prepared so
there is no danger of "baking.
Fertility should be added to
the soil before the plants are
set In the ground. Over richness
of soil is as bad as poverty in
soil where the herbs sre planted.
In purchasing plants be sore
to get some that have not beea
stunted. There is also consider
able enjoyment in growing one's

own plants from seed. Set the
plants close t enough together . to
insure a certain nicety of gar
den display, but do aot set them
so closely they will soon become
crowded. , But the plants should
sppesr to be one mass ot leaves
la a border. In a rock garden,
planting is somewhat different.
But herbs do make very inter
esting rock gardens. - v

Questions: Mrs. L. R. D.
Common perennials having ever
green leaves mlgh include
thyme, coralbell, snapdragons
(in mild winters like this), pe
rennial xiax.
M. J. R. Japanese anemone
and oriental poppy should not be
divided unless absolutely neces
sary. Both do best when they
have become established and this
takes them a season or two.
C. F. O. To prevent your
roses from decaying before they
open, spray with bordeaux mix
ture now aad ' once a week - be
fore the blooming season. There
are some sll purpose sprays on
the market which may also con
trol the bud rot, but bordeaux
is most often recommended.
Mrs. G. T. A. Perennials
which will bloom the first year
from seed are hollyhock. Eng
lish daisy. Sweet William (best
treated aa biennial), sweet rock
et, forget-me-not. These seeds
must be sown In early spring aa
soon as the weather permits
uaiess of course, you have a hot
bed or small greenhouse where
they have already been started.
V. H. Perennials which will
grow In partial shade include
Japanese anemone, bleeding
heart, cardinal flower, colum
bine, ferns, forget-me-not, fox
glove, lily-of-the-valley, pansy.
