"Scnatot "Wheeler's Eight Points
Maybe In Montana you can solve serious problems by
Just forgetting- they ever existed. Maybe when somebody
sties your cattle there, or jumps your claim, you just go
ck to tha time when you didn't have any cattle and he was
vine in Tennessee! or when
was fighting in the Civil,
thing subsequent ever happened. Maybe there you can make
t being an ostrich a way of life, and like it. Maybe you can.
Most probably you. can't, even in Montana, much less
I the world. Sometime, even if you are a senator from a min
1 ing state as Senator Wheeler is, you have to face certain
realities and agree that they're not as simple as they look.
And when you do that, whether you're Senator Wheeler or
otf you have to begin solving them as they stand, without
trying to go back to a fanciful beginning that never was,
! And which would have led irrevocably to the same problem
j ven if it had existed.
Taka Senator Wheeler's Eight Points on the basis of
which he proposes to settle, in a month or two of arbitration
tt a diplomatic council table most of the problems which
ave bedeviled western political civilization since the day
when Louis XI. of France helped stick a poignard in the ribs
of the Duke of Burgundy and thus helped found the system
j of independent, sovereign, national states which we have
j known in our time and our grandfathers grandfathers in
I theirs.
It sounds simple. You reconstitute Poland, Csechoslo
I vakia, France, Holland, Belgium, Norway, Denmark. You
i restore Alsace-Lorraine to France; you give back colonies
r to ' Germanyt you Internationalize theSuez; you "protect"
J racial minorities (what, for the love or heaven, has Hitler
.been doing since 1938 In central Europe?) ; you forget about
indemnities or reparations, whatever, in this day of 1940,
they are; and you all subscribe to some mystic doctrine of
''arms limitation" about which diplomats become platitudi
nous, and generals frankly scornful. You might as well say
; ''abacadabra, hey nonny nonny" and expect the good fairy to
take you into never-never land on a sightseeing tour. You
might, but If you think that way, you're already there.
Need we be so obvious as to say that Senator Wheeler
blandly ignores virtually every single political reality which
' has emerged since 1919? The fact that the mere creation of
autonomous; national states In Europe doesn't solve ny
i problems, and makes a number already existing more in
; aoluable than ever? That the German people have given up
butter for eight long years to make the revisions in the map
: of Europe which Senator Wheeler asks them graciously to
give up in an hour or two of tea-table chatting? That the
Eere redistribution of chips on the international playing
iard will make a gnat'a-weight of difference so long as Hit
: ler is Hitler; Stalin Stalin, and the democracies the democra
; cies? That Hitler or anybody else actually believes any label
so ingenious as "arms limitation" can succeed when the
ieitgiest'ot the century Is very patently dog eat dog?
To say that Senator Wheelers program1 for peace is,
at this juncture, both Impractical and useless is to belabor the
obvious. To say that it is stupid Is somewhat nearer the point.

almost time for school to take up next morning; but during

lost in regular school hours.
That is about the way things have gone In the 'longest
congressional session on record." First the war, then the po
litical campaign, then more war. Congress didn t dare go
home; It marked time after the normal date for adjourn
ment. Previously it had been able to concentrate only upon
its arithmetic lesson ; appropriations for defense and a par
tial solution of the taxation problem thus created.
There was, neither leadership nor the heart for facing
the domestic issues that were unsolved when congress con
vened ; they remained unsolved through the "post 'session"
and will be handed over in the same condition to the new con
gress. The members are not, however, to be censured. They
functioned under difficult conditions in a changing world,
with their eyes, like those of most private citizens, on Eu
rope with the difference that as the people's represent
atives, it really was their business to keep watch.

for years had faithfully tended the sheep, had died. The

"The first American writer, aft
er, Carrer, to make use- of the
word Oregon aeema to hare been
the poet Bryant, in 1817. Struck
with the poetical images suggest
ed to his youthful mind by read
ing Carter'a narratlre, and know
ing just enough of the country,
from reports of ship masters and
rumora of the hasty gorernment
expedition of 1804-6, to tire his
imagination, he seized upon the
word that fitted best his metre,
and in his Thanatopals made that
word immortal. The popularity
of Bryant's Terse at home and
abroad fixed it in the public mind.
"Its adoption as the name of

to the man who claims it, HaU J.

Black replaced tha receiver
and frowned at tha inspector.

"Now what can he want?"
r In a few moments Simon ca
tered the room. For onee In bis

jaunty. All the bounee, the brag

that usually distinguished him
were missing, his unnappy zace
lengthened when ' he saw that
Stephen aad Ann were present.
"I I am ashamed to face you.
Stephen," he stammered. "This

myself for. not preventing It Oh,

should have spoken out long ago.

Stephen nodded dully.
"Thank OodI If she'd died,
it
would have been my fault
"What on earth are you talk
ing about?" Sheriff Black de
manded. "The editor or tne srenina
World told me ot Edith's visit to
him. He told me what he aald
to her. When I read In last night's
paper that she had been found
dying from poison, I realized In
stantly what had happened. She
left a note, I suppose, confessing
to Octavia's murder?"
"I have it here," said the sher
iff, "but"
"Yes. that Is what she would
do. That waa Edith. The editor
told her that there would never
be any peace for her family as
long aa the murder remained un
solved. Edith loved her children.
For them, no sacrifice was too
great. So ahe wrote her suppos
ed confession and triads to end
her life. It I had only foreseen
that this would happen "
"Yes?" said the sheriff, hla
voice grown suddenly cold. "If
you had foreseen it, what would
you have done?"
I should hare rerealed the
identy of the person who really
murdered Octavia."
"Ah!"
"'Yes. Almost as soon as I
heard the details of the eaae I
knew who did It. It waa so ob-

triiMuisL' Herr BlUer, has hn
aqueaklng a shrill mysterioua sew
note, complain-
ing bitterly
against the poa
albillty of Amer
ican ships going
to Ireland a
possibility that
has not been
mentioned a n y
where elae. The
beat of state de
partment aources
here aay t hoy
never heard auch

ly advanced. So
also. - .aays Mr.
Fail ntsnea
Roosavelt, who
hears aretty waU.
Against this tinny Benin
dla.
the German almlaaaa have beaa
taking off regularly the past tew
days to crutso ovar Ireland. No
bombs wars dropped.. Apparently
they ware Jast tookiag over taa
around.
Aa theaa two are last
atgwa m appeared before the
Oecsaaas stole into Norway dar
taa; tha night, eosa officials
Kero bavo been rmnatng oat to
pick ap their saoralng paper
before breakfast each day.
Seizure ot Irish coastal bases
br Hitler would afford htm
tremendous advantage ta his en
circling blockade ot England. It
would require a desperately In
tricate movement, bat ao more
so than Norway. His soldiers. In
prepared email boats, eould rush
the Irish beaches any dark: night
and establish a footing in that
wholly undefended-, territory.
Ther would have to bo suppued
by air and reinforced by para
chute troops because the British
navy would cut the sealines be
hind them. But the efficiency ot
the German methods ot air re
inforcement and supplies has boon
conclusively proven.
The British would give them
far mora annoyance with air
bombing than they encountered In
Norway. A large British military
force la being maintained secret
ly In north Ireland to rush south
ward to oppose such an invasion
at a moment's notice.
Tet planned with diabolical
German thoroughness, success Is
possible.
The opportunity would be en
hanced If Der Crafty Fuehrer
staged It as a aldeshow to a simul
taneous Invasion ot England.
Then the success ot the effort
would almost be guaranteed by
the distraction of the British with
matters at home and the side
show might enable Hitler to com
plete the encirclement of England
oven If his Invasion attempt
tailed. Once in, as in Norway, he
would be hard to get out.
The Indispensable sign of
the imminence of an invasion
of Britain, however, haa not
yet appeared. Tha attempt
there cannot be made until the
British air force is "neutral
ized." Lateet German strategy
has concentrated on terrorizing
the population of London rath
er than upon destruction - of
the British airfields.
These army observers return
ing from eyewitnesa experience In
Britain tell a far different tale
to their Colleagues here than the
onea recently circulated about
desperation of the British posi
tion. Ton hear nothing from them
like "collapse may come within
go to 90 days." They aay in unl-
aon that the British are well de
fended to meet any prospect.
They all expect a long war, doubt
that invasion would be successful.
This optimism Is not, however.

ties who are judging from this
