RUTHLESSNESS
(192S Style)
The ruthlcssness of the Chi
nese in disposing of Russian
Bolshevikis. came as a surprise
to the world, who have been led
to believe that the Chinese
would submit to oratory, and
lessor outrages against their na
tional existence, with Biblical
mildness. Never in history has
there been such a complete and
thorough job of mass ruthless
ness. The Bolshevik is, who
thought they knew most of the
fine points of ruthlessness, were
outclassed, and had all their
love (or ruthlessness eradicated.
The Chinese were proceeding in
an orderly manner, while the
Russians were busy with occa
sional ruthlessness, when all of
a sudden the Chinamen arose
and in four days had the ruth
less Russians yelling for a cessa
tion of ruthlessness. (From this

Editorial Correspondence H
Lauderdale Lake, Wisconsin, June 17. What is ao rare as
day in June, if it doesn't rain! There has been a great deal
of rain in this part of the country this Spring, bua yesterday
waa clear and bright, ao is today, the trip up, therefore, was
simply gorgeous.
Perhaps tbia isn't tbe MOST beautiful farming country in
the world, but, aa before stated, it's where your correspondent
was born and bred, and therefore SEEMS so. It's in the blood,
and no other part of the world has quite the same appeal.
That is an interesting thing, the lure of one'i native land.
Children born in Southern Oregon feel the same way about
it, no matter where they may roam, Oregon ia their home,
and there is never an entirely satisfactory substitute. One can
imagine how the French people feel, driven out of their homes,
where they bava lived all their lives, and their forefathers be
fore them, generation after generation. Or rather, one CAN'T
imagine it. We fear such a tragedy aa France has suffered
the past few weeks bat to be experienced to be REALLY
SENSED.
No matter what one does or where one goes, it't hard to
forget tbe war. Yet in this old shack on the thoret of a quiet
little lake, the summer crowds haven't arrived as yet, it is
easier to forget than where there are radios, and newspapers,
and crowds. There ia an unwritten law here in the shack
against radio, at there always has been against telephones, to
atide from the Chicago Tribune which came thit morning, we
have no newt, war or otherwise. And we fear it isn't a case
where no newt it good news.
The report from London it Winston Churchill will deliver
a very important speech tomorrow. No doubt it will be a good
one, permanent literature, in fact, but it't hard to tee how
the greatest speech in the world can now save France !
.....
This country, northern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, in
fact, reminds one of the chateau country in France, your
correspondent once rode a bike from Dijon to Paris through
the heart of it. And that happens to be where the German
army is advancing today, a country of rolling, wooded MIIh,
quiet flowing creeks and rivers, quaint brick and stone villages,
and every now and then a huge
towert and ivy grown chimneys
trees. A country just at pastoral
thit, a country of peace, fertility and contentment written
all over it. And NOW look at it!
Somehow the Parit report
a separate peace but will fight on to the bitter end, isn't very
convincing, in view of the fact Premier Reynaud has quit,
that was his battle cry from the outset.
Even more discouraging is a
corner of an inside page, that
to call it a day, and abandon his

denies, a eurrender, not that we question French courage or
willingness to die for their country in the slightest. But the
French are an extremely realistic and logical race, and would
be the first to quit when it was clear further slaughter would
DO NO GOOD.
More than that, the censored war reports now are almost
identical in character with those which came over from Finland,
Norway and Flanders immediately before the finish. We were
taken in by three of them, we refuse to be taken in by the
fourth!

German War Machine Given
Time to Grind France Finer
By Fuehrer's Delay of Peace
By DeWttt MseKensia
. The delay in the Franco-German
armistice negotiations, im
posed by the Nazi demand that
a plenipotentiary be sent to re
ceive the closely guarded terms,
gives the invaders a chance to
continue their efforts to smash
utterly the French army.
The more desperate the posi
tion of the defending forces.
which now are split into four
hard-pressed sections, the more
difficult will the French govern
ment find it to evade capitula
tion. Harsh Terms Seen
Hitler naturally wasn't un
mindful of this in demanding a
procedure which would give his
war-machine more time to grind
finer. All of which doesn't tend
to lessen the belief that the terms
for surrender are going to be
harsh.
There have been many rumors
of the character of the mess of
pottage which Hitler and Mus.
solini have cooked up for trance
to eat, but the terms have been
closely guarded, although com
plete capitulation is said by au
thoritative quarters in Berlin to
be demanded.
Meanwhile, advance notice of
the fierceness of the coming
"battle of Britain" was served
last night in the Nazi blood
bath administered to the east
coast of England in a great air
raid of 100 planes.
Answer to Churchill
Maybe this wss hitler's answer
to British Premier Churchill's
defiant speech In which the Ut
ter declared England would
fight to a finish and would van.
quish Nazidom. Those words
must have sounded hard on the
feuhrer's ears.
. Be that as may, the raid was
a potent reminder that this last
act of the Hitlrrian blitzkrieg
which is alKvut to open. Is going
to be wsr to bloody death.
Upon this final conflict de
pends whether the French and
British empires shall be crushed
and dismembered. Vpon it de
pends whether Hitler shall prodt
by the conquests he slready has
made or whether they shall be
wiped out.

what the French government
has been merely preliminary to;
the assault on England. '
Horrors to Coma
So great are the issues In
volved that we are likely to see
"total warfare" carried to ex
treme which will exceed the
horrors already revealed since
Iliuir lirst lashed out at Poland.
With the beginning of the Nazi
offensive against England the
blitzkrieg will enter a new
phase. The clash between vast
land forces, which has ended in
the collapse of France, is over
for the moment.
This will now give way at the
outset to a conflict in which the
powerful German air force will
be pitted against the British
navy and air fleet. Infantry and
mechanized columns won't be
called upon to play a part again
until Hitler attempts his actual
Invasion of the tight little island.
Bombing to Pave Way
Hitler's logical strategy would
seem to be to prepare the ground
thoroughly for invasion by a vio
lent and persistent attack on
British shipping, ports, airfields
and industrial centers with his
bombers. Vpon the success of
these initial operations likely
will depend the outcome of the
attempted invaiion, for it is un
likely that Hitler would be able
to occupy England without hav
ing first blasted the country into
virtual submission.
Thus it is this assault from
the air which holds the greatest
danger to Britain. British Pre
mier Churchill called the turn
on that yesterday when he told
the house of commons that the
one great question is "can we
break Hitler's air weapon?''

LIFE INSURANCE AND
According to a press notice
received from an advertising
agency, one of the large life
Insurance companies has estab
lished a foun
dation for
study of the
treatment o f
cancer, in a
large univers
ity hospital.
T h a presl
dent of the
life insurance
company says
h 1 s company
will support
the foundation
program for a
period of years as a business
like' move. He believes the
life insurance business can draw
a direct profit from invest
ments in medical research. Can
cer ranks second as a cause of
death among his company's
policyholders. Naturally, if the
mortality rate Is reduced for
the country as a whole, the
policyholders of hit company
will profit.
More than 20 yean ago I
withdrew my patronage at a
buyer of life insurance from a
company that began spending
considerable sums on similar
projects, and I recall that the
company's representatives argu
ed that the practice was justi
fied because it would eventu
ally rebound to the profit of
policyholders.
Perhaps it has done so. I
do not know whether insurance
costs less or whether dividends
or benefits are greater for pol
icyholders in that company. But
at the time it was a long-term
investment of uncertain value
and It did not appeal to me.
Founding and maintaining In
stitutions for the study and
treatment of disease or for the
promotion is as noble as the
everyday charity of practicing
physicians everywhere. It is as
praiseworthy as the penny, dime
or dollar contributions of chil
dren or adults to the Salvation
army, the Red Cross, the Tu
berculosis association. Still, it
is not, in my opinion, a proper
function of a large corporation
in business to spend money on
such activities. The money be
longs to the stockholders, or in
the case of the insurance com
pany to the policyholders, and
should be returned to them, to
use as they wish.

Hartford, Conn., June 19. In
Washington, where wise men
talk solemnly of "bottleneck
which make It quite out of 'he
question, oh. really impossible'
for the United States to rearm as
rapidly as dire necessity de
mands, you are constantly told
that "the worst bottleneck of all"
is in aircraft engines. Here in
Hartford, where they actually
make aircraft engines, you are
forced to conclude that the only
real bottleneck is in Washington.

MEDICAL RESEARCH
Still more do I doubt the
propriety and even ' the busi
ness judgment of spending
stockholders' or policyholders'
fundi for pretty booklets and
other forms of publicity to
teach people to avoid drafts
and wear extra clothing when
the weather is inclement.
Corporations that vie with
one another in expendi'ig mon
ey in such activities ought to
be rettratned on the plain
ground that they are practicing
medicine.
Charity Is a matter of con
science or soul. Large contri
butions by a soulless corpora
tion, aa a business-like invest
ment, ara of course an imme
diate boon to any health better

the ruling motive of philan
thropy should be charity and
not business.

LJITLER rides through cheer-
Ing German crowds in Mu
nich to meet Mussolini and dic
tate terms of peace to beaten
France.
There it every indication that
the terms will be severe.
UITLER'S newspaper, the Vol-
kische Beobachter (People's
Sentinel) asserts bitterly:
"We remember with the great
est clarity the gray hours of
the morning of November 11,
1918, when the same Weygand
who today is the French gen
eralissimo dictated to a heroic
foe which lost honorably condi
tions of an armistice more brutal
than anything since the destruc
tion of Carthage. He and his
master, Foch. then did not speak
as soldiers to soldiers, but as
prison wardens to criminals."
(Foch and Weygand. in 1018,
were remembering the victorious
German march into Paris after
Sedan. When the Germans
marched into Paris after Sedan,
they were remembering Na
poleon's march into Berlin:
AN official German broadcast,
" referring to the terms, says:
"The time has come for them
(the French) to take what they
once gave Germany. We are now
able to say that no living Ger
man has forgotten it (what the
French gave Germany) or EVER
WILL forget it."
HATRED hatred going down
interminably through the
centuries, never appeased but
always GROWING, each new
deed of vengeance fanning it to
greater fury.
When will it end? How CAN
IT END?
Each new war sows the seeds
of another and more terrible
war.
DAUSE and reflect an this
tnougm:
If America forms the habit of
getting into Europe's wars, by
GOING TO EUROPE to fight,
we will become involved inevit
ably in this terrible cycle of
hatred and vengeance, with
each American man child born
condemned In advance to die In
these bloody and ever-recurring
feuds.
THIS writer'a deep conviction
it that America'! jqb is to
defend the American way of liv
ing in the Western Hemisphere.
For that supremely important
task no preparation (if intelli

To the Editor:
The menace of this war
crazed people, the "Germant
and their allies," is far greater
to this beloved country of ourt
than most of us think. Not
withstanding the great colonel,
the whole object of this in
fernal war is the control of the
seas. Mark that, my friends.
If Germany, as she has prom
ised to do. crushes the British
navy, where will our 300-mile
lone, our Monroe Doctrine be?
The only thing 1 agree with
the colonel is toying with
an empty gun. Don't let us do
that, but toy with loaded guns,
and loaded with double charges.
The only naticn that the war
hog is afraid of is this great
U. S. A.
What we want is work for
our people, our factories, our
mines, and how better can we
get this than by manufacturing
munitions Just as fast as every
man, woman and boy can make
them, send them to the Allies.
When England controlled the
seas we were at peace, for Eng
land (in spite of what the
hyphenated in this country have
to say) has always been our
friend and our best customer;
don't forget that customer. We
need all the customers like that
we can get. Who is our great
est competitor? This mad peo
ple who are cutting the throats
of Innocent women, children
and old people; driving them
before them to shield them
selves from the allied bullets.
Do not let us listen to the
cry of the good people of this
country who are crying about
4K mflnttfWtiM nt m.inlllnn.
because thev are for killins
people. Let us make them; we
do not have to use them, and
if we do we have them where
they will do the most good.
And those who think to the
contrary will hesitate to try
and find out. But if we have
a few more Lindberghs, the
whole world will know all our
weak points.
Yes, let us put our people
to work, make munitions, bat
tleships, guns, bombs, anything.
They cost nothing but the labor,
and that is what we want.
