"His majesty's government

"They cannot feel that such,
or similar, terms could have

"Such terms, if accepted by
all Frenchmen, would place not
only France, but the French
empire, entirely at the mercy
and in the power of the Ger

people be held down and forced

PRESIDENT Roosevelt names
two prominent Republicans
Col. Frank Knox, 1938 vice
presidential candidate, and Hen
ry L. Stimson, Hoover secretary
of State to his cabinet; Knox
to be secretary of the navy and
Stimson to be secretary of war.
IT WOULD be WONDERFUL
1 to be able to think of it as
having been done solely to in
crease national efficiency and
weld national loyalty and not as
an impish gesture designed to
take the wind out of the sails of
the Republicans who are Just
gathering for their national con
vention. ' '
It might be possible to think
of it as such if at the same time
the President had announced he
will NOT ACCEPT a third term.
IF THIS small-time writer were
advising the Republican par
ty, this is what he would tell
it to do:
1. Nominate Willkie for Pres
ident. 2. Nominate McNary for vice
president. 3. Commission Bruce Barton
to write the platform.
4. Adjourn quietly and sober
ly, and leave the decision to the
people.
AS TO Willkie:
He must have sincerity,
honesty, convincing straightfor
wardness and GREAT ABILITY
or he would not have been able
to carry on successfully against
a powerful and vengeful gov
ernment corporation the TVA.
He has unquestionable charm
and personality which he Is able
to project to the public through
the medium of the press and the
radio. This writer, who has nev
er seen him, has felt these qual
ities In him as a result of read
ing and listening.
He is NOT A POLITICIAN.
Thl! writer Is weary of politic
ians and their all-things-to-all-men
utterances, and senses that
the public is in the same mood.
AS TO McNary:
" He Is able, wise, fearless
and TOLERANT. He has skilled
knowledge of the Intricate and
(In a democracy) NECESSARY
machinery of politics.
As an adviser and collabora
tor for Willkie, he would be In
valuable. DRUCE Barton is an advrrtls
Ing man who is now a con
gressman. As an advertising
man, he knows how to say what
needs to be said so briefly, so
clearly and so convincingly that
people will read, understand
and BELIEVE.
That Is the kind of platform
the Republican party must have
if it is to win the confidence
of the people.
If THE Republican party is to
win this election. It must con
vince the people of the United
States that it is sincere, loyal
and able to do efficiently and
patriotically the big things that
In the next four years must be
done.
This writer believes the pro
gram here outlined would help
toward that end.

allies, but the whole resources

"Hii majesty's government
firmly believe that whatever
happens, they will be able to
carry on the war wherever it
may be; on the seas. In the air

"When Great Britain Is vic

action of the Bordeaux govern
ment, cherish the cause of the
French people, and a British
victory is the only possible hope
for the restoration of France
and the freedom of its people.
"Brave men from other coun
tries, overrun by nazt invasion,
are steadfastly fighting In the
ranks of freedom.
"Accordingly his majesty's
government call upon all
Frenchmen outside the power
of the enemy to aid them In
their task, and thereby render
Its accomplishment more sure

"They appeal to all French

to aid to the utmost of their
strength the forces of liberation,
which are enormous and which,
faithfully and resolutely used,

SYMPATHY FOR
Dipsomania - Is morbid and
uncontrolled craving for alco
holic liquor. Some dispsoma
macs crave a
drink regular

called periodic
drinkeri, have
lucid intervals
of from many
weeks to as
long as a year
in which they
neither desire
nor take alco
hol, then wlth
O u t apparent
cause they sud
denly crave It
again and go on a bender.
In an article on this subject
recently I described the char
acteristic mental and moral ab
normality or weakness of the
dispomaniao his or her weil
known claim to be able to "take
It or let it alone without any
treatment or aid by family,
friends, relatives, physician
spiritual adviser or anybody
else who may be concerned
about the drinker i welfare.
Several anonymous letters ar.
riving after that was printed,
point out that my description
of the mental and moral ab
normality or deficiency of the
dipsomaniac ia too harsh and
that I'd achieve more It I had
a little sympathy for these un
happy victims of alcoholism.
That's why I write on tht
subject. I have a great deal
of sympathy for the victim of
alcoholism the family, the
friends and the innocent by
standers who suffer in conse
quence of the selfish Indulg
ence of the drinker, be he or
she a steady or a periodic
drinker.
One professional writer opens
his discussion of alcoholism, in
a medical work, by observing
that the strains and burdens
of life are harder for some to
bear than they are for others.
On "nerves which Inheritance
or environment has unfortun
ately rendered weak and hyper
sensitive" these burdens weigh
heaviest. So "it is only human
that relief should be sought
through draughts which prom
ise Increased pore and potions
which temporarily benumb pain
and banish fatigue and care."
Isn't that Just too sweet? Do
have another drink, you poor
unfortunate.

Washington, June 21 At long

really being speeded. The na

ing expanded so rapidly that
congressional leaders are hav

Neither the president, nor con
gresi nor the military experts
foresaw such a decisive German
victory, and as a result this
country'! re-armament must
temporarily be on a day-to-day
emergency basis.
It took weeks of Oerman victories
before many officials realised the
danger, but now the terrible shock
of the French aurrender and the nasi
demand for unconditional capitula

quick result. A recent Incident will

The attitude of the profes

should raise in the mind of the
discerning reader or student
the question of the writer's
individual character or habit
as regards alcohol, or at least
the question of the charactei
or habit of his teachers in that
respect, for this invariably af
fect! views or opinion! of luch
a teacher.
As far as the prevention and
treatment of alcoholism or dip

you get so far along that path
that you need sympathy for
your condition, you had better
quit trying to deceive your
self and the world around

At the time of the French aur

following day when Admiral Harold
R. Stark presented to congress a
4 000.000 ooo naval expansion bill, or
a 70 per cent Increase in our sea
strength.
An equally necessary and ambitious
program ha been prepared St the
army. Authorizations totaling several
billions of dollars are needed for
tanks, tractor, ammunition and the
like. For months the war depart
ment haa been clamoring for more
money, and now the new national

It will take between a year and 15
months to get equipment and mech

The transaction waa a simple one
and fully in accord with th White

simple premise: The British must be
encouraged In every way and they
must be comlnced that we will make

HELD BY BRITAIN
Servicing of Fleet Main
Problem Gives Edge
In Naval Power.
Washington, June 22
Great Britain has taken over
the bulk of the French fleet
intact, authoritative sources in
the capital heard today, and
with It the problem of servicing
a navy whose munitions plants
and machine shops are largely
in enemy hands.
Even as Informed persons re
ported that this government
had been advised of British ac
quisition of the French warships
naval engineer! expressed the
opinion that most of the ves
sels would have only a snort-
term or reserve value to Great
Britain. Their immediate use
fulness, it was suggested, would
be limited by the amount of
ammunition and spare parts
aboard, in accompanying auxil
aries or at French colonial
bases.
To make the French fleet a
permanent adjunct of the Brit
ish navy, the engineer! said,
it would be necessary for Britain
to develop an entirely new in
dustry a costly and time-consuming
operation.
There was rejoicing among
Allied supporters, nevertheless,
because, had the French fleet
fallen to the enemy, the com
bined German, Italian and
French navies would have out
numbered the British in battle
ships and many other cate
gories. Futhermore, naval experts
said, Germany was in a posi
tion to commandeer support
ing French industry and com
pel production of ammunition
and replacement parts for seized
French vessels.
Not only has the bulk of the
French navy been taken over
by Great Britain, it was report
ed in reliable quarters here,
but a large number of French
planes have been flown to Eng
land and North Africa.
These sources also said that
word had been received that
France's newest battleship, the
Jean Bart, which was ready
for commissioning next month,
had been towed to England.
