Argentines think that Mexico, Cuba, Bolivia, etc., should take advice from themselves—and not from the Yankee Colossus, as they call the Americanos. Ireland generally throws a monkey wrench into British imperial conferences, and Dr Leopoldo Melo has been do ing approximately the same thing, to the secret distress of Secretary Hull. As the conference ended the 21 nations signed a pact, known as the "Act of Havana," which pro vided for "provisional administra tion" of any European owned pos sessions in this hemisphere " if a non-American state shall attempt to replace another non-American state, thus threatening the peace of the continent.” The war was becoming increasing ly aerial and submarine in its es sential nature. The armies were «Wilet, for they had little to do. The Germans had released the Dutch, Norse and Belgian war prisoners, and sent them home on parole. Some 250,000 Polish prisoners were ex pected to be next, with the French not too far behind. The German troops were playing "skat” in weary garrison duty, from the Arctic cir cle down to Portugal, and they were infiltrating into Spain. It looked as if the Spanish and Rumanians might enter the war on the German aide, and already the British foreign office was trying to back up little Bulgaria in its claims for some Ru manian territory.

BRETONS: HAVANA: The 21 From Britain Early in the Middle ages, a lot of frightened Celts escaped from Brit ain and settled across the channel in France. They called their new home "Brittany” in honor of their old home. The people that chased them out of Britain were the heath en Anglo-Saxons, who changed Brit ain into Anglo-land (England.) The Bretons kept on speaking Celtic, and they refused to join France politi cally until about 15Ô0. When the great French revolution came, in 1789, they resisted it by force for eight long years, for they were back ward and ultra-conservative. Of late years, they learned about independence from the Celtic nation . . . in the news alists of Ireland, and a Breton na tionalist movement got going. When <1.

WOMEIL THE CAMPAIGN: Fuss & Fume Wendell Willkie planned to win Democratic converts in the solid South. He was an ex-active Demo crat himself; and northern Demo crats, of a conservative stripe, were deserting to the Willkie standard daily (around New York, they still persisted in calling him Wilx). In the South there are many so- called Tory Democrats and econom ic royalists who have opposed New Deal reforms, the TV A project, and the row over utilities. These people would naturally be meat for M r Willkie. And the anti-III term feel ing really appeared to be growing, although one interesting historical fact came to light.

Stimson, Knox, Ickes, Wallace, for instance, plus social-minded Hopkins and Perttins, and some non-partisans like Mor- genthau. The only two Democrats in the bunch, according to Gen. Hugh Johnson of the late NRA, were Hull and Farley. It did really appear that the party lines were shifting into liberals and conservatives, and away from the principle of two com paratively meaningless ball-teams, who took turns at bat. That might, or might not, prove to be a good thing. Henry Wallace announced he would either resign or take a long leave of absence without pay, from his position as secretary of agricul ture. There had been a hot dispute about this, for many considered it improper for a vice presidential can didate to retain his “ lobby-power” during a critical campaign. Mr. Roosevelt himself had resigned as assistant secretary of the navy, in 1920, when he ran for vice president on the Democratic ticket with Jim Cox. Meanwhile, there was more and more talk as to Jim Farley. The Republicans kept saying that Mr. Farley had had a raw deal, while some of the Democrats fol lowed suit. But it must be con fessed, that the fondness of the Re publicans for Farley was something rather new. Everyone united in ad mitting, however, that Big Jim was a good sport and a square shooter. He was not the man to “ take a walk.” TWO JOKES: On the Nose Here’s a joke from Berlin. Most German quips are short and snap py, and so is this one. “ What’s Roosevelt’s campaign platform?” “War on earth; goodwill to Eng land.” Here’s a joke from London. Eng lish jokes, as a rule, are lengthy and a bit labored. “ The reason H it ler has not yet tried to invade Brit ain is that his experts are having some difficulty forging a document, to prove that we British plan to in vade Britain flrst.” It will be re membered that in Norway, Holland, and Belgium, the Germans accused the English of the intention to in vade these spots, if the Nazis didn’t get there fustest with the mostest men, as Gen. Nathan B. Forrest would have put it. French Humor And here’s a bitter one out of de feated France, where England is hardly popular right now. “ What’s faster than a Blitzkrieg?” “The Brit ish army at Dunkirk.” Incidentally, St. George is the patron saint of England. So the Nazis looked up the authentic geneology of St. George. They found it in Gibbon’s “ Decline and F all.” In his great classic work, the English Mr, Gib bon declared that this St. George had been a “ villainous army con tractor”—ouch I ^¿ fc^B fG G E R TRADl-IN ^^W^ALLOWA LOOK! , I ' > ' H IG H S P E C .
