You Can 't Blame England
JOHN BULL denies he wants a long war. He wants peace as
early as it can be obtained. But he maintains, peace can't
be obtained from Hitler, for a treaty signed by him wouldn't
be worth the paper it was written on. It would merely give
Der Beichsfuehrer a b.eaihing spell, in which to prepare for
another outburst- probably against Hungary and Rumania the
next time.
You can't blame John.
We don't know just how many times Hitler has broken his
word with Chamberlain, but can distinctly recall two occasions.
A less restrained, peace-loving and trusting person than the
British prime minister, would probably have broken with Hitler
a long time ago.
So a blanket refusal to talk peace with Germany until Hitler
has been liquidated is a natural position for England to take,
in fact the only position she could take and maintain any sense
of security, or her own self respect.

Over 200 Reach Halifax

HALIFAX, N. fl.. Sept. 18. F)
Tale of horror; first In the sudden
sinking of the liner Athenla and
then In repeated submarine scares
as they crossed the Atlantic, were
told today by more than 300 sur
vivors as they landed here aboard the
over-crowded freighter, City of Flint.
Clearly the concensus among the
mi r Ivors was that a submarine had
sunk the Athenla. The captain of
the City of Flint agreed.
"We almost hit the submarine,"

Athens, Texas.

"We were In a boat with 38 women
and only three men, she said. "A
little while after we left the Albania's
side, we saw the periscope of the
submarine and nearly hit It. I didn't
see her come to the surface. More
than one torpedo was Vat go, accord

me."

Raw Death Hasp.
One girl, Elizabeth Brown of Hous

ence of being tossed Into the water
without a life preserver when the
lifeboat from which she set out from
the Athenla capsized.
"I saw one man gasp for breath
and die," she said. " It wa hor
rible. Just before the lifeboat cap
sired I had removed by life pre
server.
Mrs. Franklin Dexter of Boston.
the former Mlanne Palfrey of the
famous tennis family, told how her
husband refused to go In the same
lifeboat as she did and waited to
make sure there was room for others.
He subsequently wss picked up and
taken to Scotland. The Dextera were
returning from a European honey
moon.
"We felt Just a Jolt when ths ex

WHITE PATCHES
Leuooplakla or leukoplakia la the
medical term for white patches on
the tongue, the Inner suface of the

about the geni
tals of either sex
The thickened.
whitish patches,
accompanied
with some local
Irritation and
perhaps In
creased sensitive
ness to heat or
other Irritation,
are generally
painless and
cause only a
stiffness of the
affected part.
This stiffness or lack of normal flex
ibility or pliability ultimately leads
to flssurlng, and tn the course of
years ulceration and ftnslly malig
nancy (cancerous degeneration) may
occur.
These white patches are obstinate
and difficult to heal. They are some
times called "smokers' patches," and
It may be true that they are most
frequent In smokers, yet certainly
leucpplakla occurs in persons who
have never smoked at all.
By Jova, you're right we don't
know what causes leucoplakla. But
spare me the wisecracks, please. Is
It your fault that no one knows
who was responsible for the World
war or how to balance the budget?
We don't know what causes cancer
or Infantile paralysis or Influenza,
but from experience we have learned
what to do about these diseases.
One with leucoplakta must abso
lutely stop using tobacco, have any
rough teeth or ftlllngs attended to
by the dentor, and In long standing
case submit to one or another de
structive treatment of the patch
carbon dioxide freezing, electro-coagulation,
actual cautery or radium
treatments tn the hands of a doctor
skilled tn such work.
The penalty of neglect of proper
treatment of leucoplakta Is in too
many cases-
Cancer of tongue, cheek or mouth.
When cancerous degeneration begins
in a white patch the lesion usually
but not always becomes somewhat
painful, and swollen "glands" (lymph
nodes) or kernels may be felt under
the Jaw or In the stde of the neck;
the white patch become reddish, vel
vety or raw looking.
Cancer more commonly occurs in
the mouth as a consequence of pro
longed slight irritation by a Jagged
or broken tooth or a rough or broken
denture, without any :'gn of white
patch.

them huddled In fear an uncom
prehending fear ... In places wblc't
the war has not touched you see
them playing happily, not compre
hending. Everywhere are amazing contrasts
. . . In Warsaw the endless sound of
guns as the city Is defended from
behind barricades ... In the quiet
countryside in deep southeast Poland
a pessant works tn his fields In
peaceful sunshine . . . Across the
frontier lights shine and people live
normally ... on ths Polish side a
hand smashes at an uncovered flash
light ... It may be a signal to
guide . . .
Everywhere is the hope that Britain
and Franca are punishing Germany
. . . "Have you heard?" asks one
man. "They have bombed Berlin,
destroyed the Krupps munitions
plant at Essen ... six hundred
planes . . . now Germans know what
It la like to be bombed" . . .
He Is a Polish mechanic in a
small town in south Poland. He

he is barely visible, but his patheti
cally eager voice carries the hope of
Poland at the moment . . .

trlbuted to oampalgn fund for his
defeat. Is now Immaterial. There
is a grim Irony In the turn of events
MOTHING
nas jrrea we innw-
1 1 clrcl so much since they began
to bask In the presidential smile as
the discovery that they ar being
replaced as Inspirations by the erst
while enemies of the new deal.
What President Roosevelt 1 striv
ing for is to place hla own house In
order against a possibly evil day. He
wishes a united nation. Many groups
and Individual who have had a free
rein (caused sober-sided citizens to
wonder why the president tolerated
them), will shortly lesrn that Mr.
Roosevelt has ceased to be amused
by their antics and philosophies.
There ar a few heads which are to
be knocked together; some superior
Ity complexes to be deflated
Step are now being contemplated
and roughly sketched which will be
come front page news In a matter
of weeks. No one understands the
reefs ahead better than tha presi
dent and he la prepared to act. The
policy ho adopts will be a matter
of history, and Mr. Roosevelt desire
to occupy a favorable position when
the school books of the future are
written.
DISMAY of the little clique which
haa had the ear of Mr. Roose
velt waa expressed by one of their
spokesmen, horrified that the presi
dent 1 calling In Republicans and
conseratlves. when he aald such a
step by Mr. Roosevelt would be "na
tionally unsafe and politically un
wise" to permit them "to exert any
leverage on national decisions."
War talk haa, apparently, sunk
without traoe th planned preal
dentlal Issue of 1940 distribution of
wealth. Attacka by new dealers on
business haa been Intended aa
bulld-up for that campaign issue.
Nor do the heretofore palace favor
ites relish the president's current
overture to heal the wounds caused
in the closing daya of congress, lsst
July and early August. The ax
which wa being shsrpened to be
used on the proposed trtp to the Pa
cific northwest hss been returned to
its sheath.
M
R. ROOSEVELT hopes for har-
gress, dearly as he hss enjoyed In the
past a good, stiff fight. Until Janu
ary S, 1941 (at least). President
Roosevelt has a man-alzed Job and
he Is smart enough to recognize that
tho white-haired boys who have been
prodding him to take business over
the Jumps, are not the most level
headed advisors when the fat of the
nation my be at stake.
And such la one phase of the pic
ture today In the national capital.
