'JULIET' PUTS CHILL

San Francisco. Jan. 10,
Pretty Isabelle Deshler says It's
all off her "romance" with
John B. Adams, the 32-year-old
Romeo who took to the law
courts in an effort to prevent
his prospective mother-in-law
from cramping his romantic
style.
"I do not love Mr. Adams and
I have no Intention of evi-r mar
rying him," Isabelle announced
curtly last night.

The New Morality
r ERMANY'S policy," said Prime Minister Cham
J berlain, in his Mansion House speech yesterday,
"is a threat and a menace to the moral standards on
which western civilization is based."
That isn't just some more allied propaganda. It's
the truth. Nazi Germany, and also Soviet Russia,
have no use for western-world moral standards, or
any others.
There is only one morality for them that is the
state. Whatever promises to aid and advance the
state is good; whatever doesn't is bad.
If lying, stealing, double-crossing, murdering
promise to aid the holy cause of nationalism; firie and
dandy, go to it! If they don't, don't bother with
them, or with anything else.
Nothing is wrong that helps the state; nothing is
right that injures it.
e
TTHIS is the new morality of Central and Eastern
new political ideologies.
And if Germany and Russia should win, these
principles or lack of them would survive, and
spread over the entire continent of Europe.
X7'E have no illusions regarding the power of the
war psychosis, and realize how Messrs. Hitler
and Stalin would sneer at such a bourgeoise idea.
Nevertheless, we are inclined to regard this moral
factor as of considerable importance when the final
test of strength comes, as it eventually will.
For say what you will, the genus homo, regardless
of where he may reside, has a certain instinct regard
ing right and wrong. He can deceive himself unmerci
fully, particularly under clever leadership, but there
are those moments, particularly when things aren't
going so well, when that "little candle" starts to throw
its beam, no matter how extensive has been the wan
dering. AND THEN, you apostles of might over right,
" watch out I
True, Napoleon said God was on the side of the
heaviest battalions, but there are certain IMPONDER
ABLES in that "heaviest" as he found out, to his sor
row, at Waterloo.
And the most irrmortant of them is that moral fac
tor, the sense of fighting
les, lennyson is terribly out of date, while "Sir
Galahad" is positively taboo. But one of these days,
if thev live lone enough, we have a ninns irlpa. hnth
Joseph and Adolph will admit there was a profound
mitn in mat laminar couplet:
"My strength is as the strength of ten,
Because my heart is pure."
John Speaks "Our Language "
I ORD LOTHIAN, the new British Ambassador at
" Washington, is a most UNimpressive looking per
son, but he has said some extremely wise things since
his arrival.
Number one on the list is his approval of this
country's determination to stay out of the European
war, until, like England, its vital interests are at stake.
"Geography," he remarked in New York the other
day, "has been extremely generous to your country;
how foolish you would be not to take advantage of it!"
'll'E have no doubt there was more shrewd diplo
" v macy in that statement than "Yankee candor,"
but it was extremely smart nevertheless. Great Brit
ain would be more than human if she didn't wish
American help in her hour of peril, but her leaders are
too intelligent to admit it, or to even hint there is any
effort being made to secure it.
And here is another extract from another Lothian
speech, worthy of consideration :
"One of the great blunders of the post-war era, was
the belief that a war stricken world could recover by a
system which combined immense international indebted
ness with unrestrained tariff protectionism. This was
probably the major cause of the world depression of 1020."
Old Johnny Bull has many faults, but in thi.. day
and age, stupidity is certainly not one of them.
And with the world in such a turmoil, with the old
landmarks so rapidly disappearing, what a satisfac
tion it is to find ONE country on the other side of the
ocean which does speak "OUR language" in more
than ONE sense of the term !
Aid For Finland
FINLAND may well say with Pyrrhiis when his
friends congratulated him on his victory over
Fabricious :
"Yes but if we have another such victory, we are undone!"
For there is a limit to what a small army, however
superior in quality and leadership, can accomplish
against a much larger one.
Time is the essence of it. For eventually, merely
as a matter of arithmetic, the overwhelmingly larger
force must overcome the smaller, urdess the latter is
reinforced.
IT was reassuring, therefore, to learn from the British
Prime Minister's speech that Britain's aid to Fin
land "will be no mere formality" as it certainly was,
as far as Poland was concerned.
Realizing the innate conservatism of the Cham
berlain temperament, this statement may be taken to
mean that England and Fiance are already engaged
in arranging for the dispatch of men and guns to the
Russian border.

CUPS THAT CHEER
A reader says she wants the
five children of her only daugh
ter to develop physically, men
tally and morally as they should
and fears my approval of cof
fee drinking may encourage the
children to cultivate the habit
which she be
lieves would
be detriment
al, especially
to the sixteen
year old child
A youth six
teen years old
seems a mere
child to her,
and at that
age young peo
ple are likely
to form wrong
habits, though
it Is none too early for them
to learn self-control. Their fath
er had never smoked or drank
even coffee when married.
This column was recently dc
voted to a discussion of coffee
and the wicked old sourpuss
who conducts the column took
pains to make his teaching con
cerning coffee explicit, in these
words:
"In my judgment coffee
should not be given to child
ren under sixteen years of
age. Various invalids had bet
ter seek advice from their
physicians regarding the
drinking of coffee. For ordin
ary folk two or three cups of
coffee daily, taken as a bev
erage, not to wash down un
masticated food, is generally
rather beneficial. Of course
a cupful of good coffee con
tains a fair medicinal dose of
caffeine (perhaps 1V4 to 2
grains), and caffeine is a sti
mulant to heart, brain, kid
neys. Coffee taken late at
night may keep you awake.
But coffee after dinner in the
evening cannot explain wake
fulness or insomnia four
hours later."
Every paper, continues this
trenchant grandmother, records
the victim of some heart attack
generally from 30 to 60 years
of age, and every one a coffee
drinker, you may be sure.
Aw, come, come, now, Grand
ma, how can we be sure about
that- Actually we can only Infer
that the victim of a heart at
tack who is from 30 to 60 years
of age is or was a coffee drink
er, because most sensible peo
ple are coffee drinkers, . . .
every one a coffee drinker, you
may be sure, as well as a carni
vorous eater . , .
But it is not so easy to be
sure about that as the corres
pondent would have me think.
It is reasonable to suppose
that most victims of such heart
trouble are carnivorous eaters

extended to the states through
which the military highways
run. Highway commissions
would spend the special appro
priation on the military routes,
which would permit th federal
aid to be applied elsewhere. It
would not be "match money"
under the Hayden-McNary reso
Kit ion.
As a national defense, if the
plan succeeds, explains the Ore
gon senator, it would furnish
money to improve the Pacific
highway south from Eugene
to Ashland, eliminating some
mountains and twisting sections
And the senator adds he wants
the Pacific highway given a bet
ter grade over the Siskiyou
mountains into northern Cali

tV!ci.l road offtclala know what

THIS Hnyrten-NcNnry measure was

BUT NOT INEBRIATE
since most people eat more or
less meat, game, fish, eggs. But
we cannot carry the inference
to the conclusion that coffee
causes heart disease.
So far as I know, the ordin
ary use of coffee is not held ac
countable for heart disease by
any medical authority. The
reader was apparently a guest
in a famous health resort sani
tarium when she wrote this
letter, and the sanitarium inter
ests promote the freak vegetar
ian diet idea and the idea that
coffee is bad for everybody
indeed there is a notable rela
tion between the sanitarium and
a manufacturer of a substitute
for coffee.
As for children. I repeat that
in my judgment children under
sixteen years of age should not
be permitted to drink coffee,
tea, cocoa or chocolate. Milk is
the beverage for children.

could do this by dropping a few
warships from his proposed list.
ONE reason there Is a Chinaman's
chance for the Hayden-McNary
bill la that congress Is not rushing
to give the president everything he
asks for national defense. Repub
licans tn the senate have gone Into
a huddle, and a number of Demo
crats Into another, with similar hud
dles In the house, with the purpose
of making a thorough Inquiry into
national defense. These members
wish to knpw why the administra
tion thinks the navy should be
expanded: also the identity of the
prospective enemy whose attack must
be anticipated by the expenditure of
a couple of billion dollars.
As the national defense la placed
under fire by Republicans and Dem
ocrata the president may 'see the
strategy of including mtlltary roads
If he is to carry his own objective.
A nod from the White House would
sweep the Hnyden-McNary resolution
through concress and Its prospects
are fair without the nod. Every state
touched by a mtlltary highway would
find Its congressional delegation for
the measure, and In the mtd-west
where warships are not as popular
as on tlw coast, fewer battleships
and bigger and better roads sound
sood.

In The
Day's
i :News '
By Frank Jenkins
DHESIDENT Roosevelt, ad
dressing diners at his party's
$100-a-plate Jackson Day din
ner in Washington, says that
"motive in the long run is what
counts," adding: "If leaders
have good motives , . . you can
be fairly safe in assuming that
they won't wreck your govern
ment." WEBSTER defines motive as
"that which incites to ac
tion; anything prompting or ex
citing to choice, or moving the
will."
This writer hopes the out
standing motive of the next
president of the United States
is to insure the solvency of his
country by spending less than
is taken in and so reducing the
now dangerously high public
debt.
History teaches us that every
nation that has gone on the
rocks has done so because of
reckless spending without re
gard to income.
DOOSEVELT, in his Jackson
lx day speech, left his inten
tions in the way of a third term
still a mystery. Secretary of Ag
riculture Wallace, after listen
ing to his chief, pipes up:
"I hope the Democratic nom
inee in 1940 is Roosevelt."
Here is the point: If Roosevelt
goes out, the new deal office
holders go out with him.
. 4
C VERY time you hear a new
deal office-holder beating
the drum for a third term you
may be sure that in the back
of his mind is this thought: "If
Roosevelt goes, I go too."
To an office-holder, nothing
in the world is so important as
his Job.
THE mere fact that new deal
office-holders and hangers
on are practically unanimous
for a third term doesn't mean
necessarily . that F.D.R. has
made up his mind to go after
inira term.
THE President's Jackson Day
speech, Incidentally, was hu
morous, tolerant and philosoph
ical, and carried ail the personal
charm with which he is so rich
ly gifted. If one had the $100,
it would have been worth $100
to listen to it.
The three Republicans who
c'ecllned the invitations sent
them missed a good show.
(Franklin Delano Roosevelt is
one of the world's best show
men. Whoever aspires to be the
next president of the United
States will do well to keep that
undeniable fact in mind).

Ballad of the Bug
(By Russell Mitchell)
A fish aet out to clean hla pool
Of foreign bugs and snails;
And all the little flshea helped
With mouths and fins and tails.
They worked and swept with all their
might;
They searched beneath the atones,
And scared the bugs out of their wlta
By rattling bricks and bones.
But one there was from far away
Had come to make hla home:
And having settled down to work
Waa loath to start to roam.
He organized the bugs and snails
In opposition to the fish:
Which made their angry bristles
stand;
Their talis made waters swish.
Well, then they went before the
courts
(The which had owls for Judges.)
The wise old bird hiccoughed and
said.
"I'll deport him If he fudges."
"O. does he fudge! Your Honor, Sir,
His Ideas are something runny.
And I'm afraid he'll try to teach
Them to my little sonny."
"And. Mr. Judg.e he came to us
Without your own permission.
So we would send him out again
Because of this omission."
The court adjusted belt and specs
Remembering his own rule.
That fish deport all alien .bugs
That lived within their pool,
"But If his papers are correct
And he salutes when bugles call,
I won't deport him for Ideas,
Ideas are free for all."
"I cannot blame him for the wish
To get your homea and money.
That's why I'M sitting on thla bench.
Hoot, hoot." Now ain't that funny?
OF AMERICA 10
DEFY 1RGENTHAU BY
CONTINUING POLICIES
San Francisco, Jan. 10. (P)
The possibility the huge Bank
of America might withdraw
from the national banking sys
tem was placed before stock
holders today by L. M. Giannini,
president, who bitterly assailed
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau
for "arbitrary and illegal" in
terference in the bank's affairs.
Giannini, addressing stock
holders who cheered him, af
firmed his intention of contin
uing present policies despite
government agencies which he
said had "harried" the institu
tion, "we think unjustly."
"Were it not for the privileges
surrounding his office. Secre
tary Morgenthau would not
dare act as he has," Giannini
declared.
The irate financier, who
launched his attack at the an
nual stockholders' meeting yes
terday, said the "controversy"
had simmered now to three is
sues, dividend policy, valuation
of bank premises, and ratio of
capital to deposits.
