The British premier, in his
broadcast reviewing the past and
the future of military activities
of the empire, against the world
conquering plan of Messrs. Hit
ler and Mussolini, dallied for 21
words on the tragic, diplomatic
fizzle that climaxed the last war.
Said he:
"Quite suddenly and unex
pectedly, our terrible enemy
collapsed and we were so glut
ted with victory that in our
folly we cast it away."
The next time, if there ever is
one, the peace terms will be
based upon facts and acts, in
stead of dreamy Ideals that
painted the aggressor nations as
nothing more serious than
naughty boys with good hearts,
but a wrong start.

THE PARTY GETS HOUGH
(Yreka (Calif.) Journal)
"During the earlier part of
the evening, a friend, Mr. Van
Trease, dropped in for a social
glass and to talk over the war
situation. The half-gallon of
wine was getting pretty well
consumed and the argument
about Hitler's game in Europe
was hitting high when Sam
brought out a rifle to settle
the whole thing. After he
shot Van through the upper
leg, he began to think things
over, as Van's pain became
more excruciating."

There is always some high of

with an alibi tq the aid of H

pain-in-the-neck. Now comes
none other than the attorney

and smash to smithereens some
American traditions. Shipping
this alien back to his native
Australia, would make him a

Editorial Correspondence
Rockford, III., June 17. Returning from the lake, took
turn down Main Street to the club for luncheon, and ran into
a pack of newsboys selling "extrees" with the following ban
ner in three-foot type: "France gives upt"
,
Needless to say it wasn't the local newspaper. Mrs. Ruth
Ilanna tSimms owns the Rockford newspaper monopoly, and
therefore extras are seldom indulged in. For extras are only
valuable in the direction of advertising and beating the compe
tition. Thia extra waa the "Chicago News," a tabloid, sent out
over the rural sections by airplane.
'
So the expected happened day or two before it was really
expected, as far as the skipper of this travel-log is concerned !
It was none the less staggering, another incredible chapter in
a completely incredible war.
Even more staggering was the reaction at the club, at least
where we aat in the midst of some of our old friends, all being
in favor of England aurrendering also, and at once, thus pre
venting more useless slaughter 1
W thought thia just "one man 'a opinion," but soon found
it was practically unanimous at our end of the table.
And the basis of it waa even more surprising, no pro-Germanism,
quite the reverse. But ANTI-ROOSEVELTISM, any
thing to beat that man in the White House, and peace in
Europe before the election will beat him!
Tea, believe it or not, that was the line of reasoning!!
Perhaps in justice to the "old friends" a word of explana
tion should be offered. Thia ia the blackest spot in the black
Republican belt of the Middlewest, barring none. Hoover car
ried it overwhelmingly in 1932, Landon in 1936, when it goes
Democratic the Rock river will turn around and run uphill to
Whitewater, Wisconsin I Unless one has lived here, it ia impos
sible to have any conception of the anti-Roosevelt feeling, its
strength and its unanimity. This ia especially true among the
business and professional men, who make up the membership
of the club in question. So no doubt there seemed nothing
illogical or far-fetched, to them, in the claim that this war was
started by Roosevelt, is being nurtured and advanced by Roose
velt, and if continued six months will RE-ELECT Roosevelt.
Literally, we have no doubt a vast majority of this particular
club would regard the destruction of England and France as a
small price to pay for the destruction of Franklin Delano Roose
velt. And that, in simple terms, was the idea expressed at the
luncheon table, by at least three worthy citizens.
What can one do with people like thatf Well, we could
do nothing but inform them they are as crazy as so many March
bares, full of hop, and for our pains no doubt be put down as
one of these Pacific Coast Bolsheviks! (Or even worse, a man
who actually voted for F. D. R. in 1936!)
No doubt this particular group isn't representative of the
entire club, such groups seldom are, but after conversing
with other members before our departure, we would say with
out fear of successful contradition, as they will be remarking
in Philadelphia a week hence ! that 99 per cent of the organi
zation are isolationists, have been isolationists and are going to
remain isolationists, unless and until the Republican party
gets into a war on its OWN account! when war will, no doubt,
be as holy a cause as the Civil War or maintaining the Smoot
Hawley protective tariff !
We ahouldn't squawk, for we knew what we were getting
into when we left on this trip, the worst climate in the United
States, morning, noon and night. Nevertheless, we would give
almost anything to be back in itedford, Oregon, for a few hours
so we might get just one deep, satisfying breath. Oh, yes, it
may be hot there, but not this stifling Turkish bath atmos
phere, and we had a acorcher last night, even a sheet not
dipped in ice water was too much.
The above has been written during a morning thunderstorm,
and a cloudburst, thunder that crashed like guns on the west
ern front, with scarcely an interruption, and rain coming down
in buckets, so the cars going up and down Main Street, with
headlights on, have had to plow through a river of it.
And has it cooled things off! Just like throwing a pan of
dishwater on a cookstove that's
Of course this surrender of France, if it is really carried
out, will have a considerable effect upon the political situation
in the United States. There will be far less insistence upon
armed intervention than would have been the case, with France
and England putting up a valiant resistance, for say what
one will, the defeatist attitude already well established in this
country, will now be considerably increased. And if Hitler
should be as uncannily accurate in his predictions regarding
the fate of England as he has been regarding his other con
quests, then the European war may well be over before election
day, in which case, the big issue will not be what we can do
for Europe, but what we MUST do for the defense of the United
States. Then this writer's belief that Mr. Roosevelt will not be
President for a third terra will, we are quite sure, be a very
easy and smart-monev bet. R.W.R.

NUTRITION AND
Persons with stomach (gastric)
or duodenal ulcer generally ad
here to more cr less restricted
diets. This is
all right so far
as comfort is
concerned,
provided the
i n d i v i d u al
knows which
foods he or
she can take
with comfort
and which
foods are like
ly to cause
distress.
But there is
another aspect
of the question which la quite
as Important in the long run
and merits the careful consid
eration of every peptic ulcer
sufferer, whether the physician
or specialist consulted from
time to time cautions about it or
not. I refer to the state of
the patient's nutrition, particu
larly to the hypo-vitaminosis
trom which anyone following a
restricted diet is likely to suffer.
Effects of moderate defici
encies of the essential vitamins
are difficult to recognize in any
case, and especially when the
functional disturbances due to
lack of enough of this or that
vitamin are masked by the
symptoms of such a disease as
peptic ulcer, anemia or colitis,
for instance. Medical textbooks
are still oretty vague or indeed
silent about this, and many
doctors are incapable of mak
ing practical observations from
their own clinical experience.
One eminent authority, Mc
Carrison, British army surgeon
who lived for many years In the
Himalayas, found that natives
practically never had gastric ul
cer or appendicitis and inferred
that their diet, consisting chief
ly of eggs, rnilk, vegetables,
whole grains foods with their
natural vitamin B complex and
C content unimpaired by refin
ing processes accounted for the
rarity of such diseases among
them.
Without going further Into
the problem of the far-reaching
effects of moderate deficiency
of the essential vitamins, let us
say that In any circumstances
it is harmless to supplement
the restricted diet with a suit,
able concentrate of the vita
mins most likely to be deficient
in the diet.
Many peptic ulcer sufferers
can insure an adequate Intake
of vitamin B complex by eat
ing three or four ounces of
wheat germ daily, this being the

Washington, June 20. These
days when the unhappy plight
of the democracies has created
this country's greatest emer
gency, it seems time to report
that certain prominent new

sine up to now the White House
inner circle has been the best co
ordinated group lthtn the govern

coran nor Ben Cohen are the cataly
tic amenta fomenting the protests. It
should finally be said that there
are no plans for an International
blitsrtag agaltut the national defense
adrisory committee, such as wrecked
the wsr resources board a year ago.
A few of the most irate critics
sing an old sons?. "The government
h as been t u rned over to our en -emtea."
But such talk Is not taken
rerr seriously. The real complaint
comtnit from responsible persona is
that the national defense committee
is trusting too much to outside d
risers and not using sufflcirntlr the
established government fad lit tee The
result, according to this opinion. Is
that rearmament is slowed up and
contradictory policies are developed.

richest natural food source of
B complex. Physicians com
monly exclude raw fruit or
fruit Juice from the peptic ulcer
diet, and that makes an ade
quate vitamin C ration difficult
to provide in the food. Al
though eggs are usually allowed
(egg yolk ia the richest natural
source of vitamin D) it is ad
visable In most instances to
take some additional vitamin
D to supplement the diet. Every
physician abreast of progress is
now prepared to advise or pre
scribe suitable vitamin concen
trates to supplement the re
stricted diet. Everyone subject
to peptic ulcer should make
sure to get an adequate daily
ration of the essential vitamins

at every opportunity. It Is also sur
prising since Jones, as dispenser of
governments loans, already haa im
portant duties and since the presi
dent has designated a long-time civil
service man, William Mc Reynolds, as
coordinator.
Jonee happens to be one of the
few persons within the administra
tion who flta the qusliflcattons for
the Job a person who haa the con
fidence of business and who under
stands the workings of the new deal.
But the president will probably not
make any important changes In his
set-up.
Unlike a year ago when he waa
hurried ln the appointment of a
war resources board, the president
chose his defense advisory commit
tee with great care, and only after
long talks with his government re
organlaatlon expert, Louis Brown low.
He was careful to give representa
tion to business, labor, agriculture
and consumers and to delegate to
the Industrialist, William 8. Knud
sen and Edward etettlnlua, all the
power they might need.
With two notable exceptions (Sec
retary of Commerce Harry Hopkins
who Uvea at the White House, and
SIC. Commissioner Leon Henderson
who la on the new committee), the
new deslera were left pretty much
out In the cold, both officially and
unofficially. Thia accounts for part
of their feeling. But It must be ex
plained that they believe that the
government must go on an emer
gency basis and devote Itself primar
ily to re-armament. Bo they can
hardly be accused of sabotage or lack
of patriotism.
In truth, there la one fundamental

-News -
Br Frank Jenkins
pvN this day (Wednesday) when
the world waits, the air is
full of rumors.
Diplomatic circles in Madrid
hear the French have already
accepted the Hitler-Mussolini
peace terms, including uncondi
tional surrender, occupation of
France until the end of the
war and surrender of the
French fleet.
IT sounds like hearsay espec-
ially the fleet surrender.
The French fleet has been
under British command (as the
British army has been under
French command) since the be
ginning of the war, and it is
improbable the British would
let it go, no matter what the
French government agreed to.
Berlin admits the French
fleet has probably been "spir
ited off" (the term is Berlin's)
by the British,
AMONG other rumors, the
- Spanish government radio
reports that many planes, pre
sumably French, have been seen
flying over the Mediterranean
toward Africa.
There are French armies In
Africa. If, as expected, the
terms of surrender include turn
ing over France's African col
onies to Italy, these armies may
say: "You'll have to deal witli
us first."
fHE British and the Japs
have signed an agreement
settling several points in their
Tientsin (China) controversy,
and the barricades around the
British concession in Tientsin
have been removed. The house
of commons, struggling with
graver matters closer home,
cheers as it gets the news.
The cheers indicate some
thing under the surface.
THE Japanese foreign office In
Tokyo announces it consid
ers "maintenance of the status
quo (leaving everything as is) in
French Indo-China as important
as in the Dutch East Indies."
(There was a hint yesterday
that the terms to be imposed
on France1 would include turn
ing over Indo-China to Japan
obviously a bid from Hitler
for Jap support).
ANOTHER rumor: Britain is
" considering the possibilities
of buying large quantities of
war supplies, including tanks
and planes, from Russia.
It sounds screwy, but with a
world in turmoil anything can
happen.
CESSATION of horse racing in
England "until further no
tice" was announced today
(Wednesday).
When the British ' give up
racing the situation is getting
serious.
"IN this side of the water, the
Republican national con
vention will open in less than
a week. Hardly a word about

We're doing some serious
thinking, too, you see.

" AFL. tells the Republican

tee his organization favors

Europe short of our entry Into

'be willing, if nece.ary, to tern
iporarily give up some of its
i wage and hour advantage, he
! replies:
I "Labor is prepared to make
the same sacrifices the a vera Be
American citizen may be call
icd upon to make."
IT is an honest answer and a
patriotic answer. If American
industry and business will an
nounce authoritatively that it is
prepared to forego all abnor
mal profits anting from war
preparations, we shall be in a
fair way to get somewhere
quickly with a minimum of dis
turbance and delay.

over to promote his own Interests:
haa refused to do one or two things
which would have lined up some
scattered support. Prom the first It
haa been contended that Senator Mc

occurs. He la on friendly terms with
all the active aspirants and they
have come to him for advice.
McNary'a progressive record, his
championship of agriculture, hla
yeara of experience with government
affairs are recognized and these qual
ifications are better known among
national leaders (Republican and
Democratic) than they si to his
home-folk.
AS a betting proposition, the as
