There are two objections to
Wendell Willkie as the Republi
can nominee for President, press
dispatches indicate. He needs a
hair-cut. and is an ex-democrat.
It should be no job at all to find
a barber and a party with a
rank and file that voted Demo
cratic with a whoop, every time
it got a chance since 1932 should
not be too squeamish about his
political past.
Famine threatens Europe in
the event of a long war, and
America Is the sole hope for
fooi and clothes to rout starva
tion and winter's chill. There
should be an understanding be
tween the giver and the receiver,
vix: For every cargo of American
beans, a return cargo of Eu
ropean guns. There is no use
fattening up a potential foe for
another war in the Old World,
or In this hemisphere.

To the Editor: '
It is probably the desire of
every common man to live at

what man desires and what he
gets are not always the same.
Norway loved peace, the Neth

fought, Belgium trembled at
at the nought of war, and
France took up arms with a
heavy heart. But love of peace
and tranquil pursuits have not
saved any of them from hos

world are two philosophies of

In peace with his neighbor, re
spect his boundaries, and not
interfere with his internal af
fairs. A thousand nations of
this type could live In peace

The other Is convinced of

employing force if necessary.
Where one such nation as this
exists, there can be no peace.
All others must submit and be
swallowed up, or fight There
will be no exceptions and our
turn will come last: but it will
come if England falls.
What a pity that all the dem
ocracies did not make common
cause at once In their own de
fense. And with each new con
quest Germany becomes more
powerful. We cannot hope to
evade war. There Is no com
promise with Hitler. Either

It is only a question of
whether we should wait until
England Is destroyed and Hitler
has had time to martial the
resources of the world against

tha preroga
tive of medical authority: "Dia

an hereditary disease, character
ized by an increase of sugar in
the blood and the excretion of
sugar in the urine; it is depend
ent upon disease of the pan
creas, particular of its island of
Langerhans , . ."
Elsewhere In the book the
author presents reasons for re
garding diabetes as hereditary.
The inheritance is not direct,
but rather the potentiality or
tendency to develop diabetes
may be inherited. The child
more often Inherits the ten
dency from a grandparent, that
is, the parents, one or both,
carry the tendency in recessive
form and do not themselves de
velop diabetes. The child cannot
inherit diabetic potentiality
from one diabetic parent alone
if the other parent is not a car
rier of the tendency that is
to say, if the other parent did
not inherit the tendency. Prof.
Joslin estimates that 25 percent
of our entire population are
now carriers of the potentiality
or tendency and may pass it on
to their children.
I say Dr. Joslin begs the
question. After all, what good
or bad feature of human life is
not similarly hereditary?
Of the actual causes of dia
betes, obesity is, foremost.

aiaoeies generally lane on su i dose of potAulum shortly sl

the potentiality.

Influential leaders of the delegations

minorities Into majorities.
Washington, D. C, June 27.
In addition to the efforts of the
Republican national convention
to accuse the Democratic ad
ministration with being a "war
party," the group of isolationist
senators (composed of Demo
crats as well as Republicans)
are taking the same view. When
the senate acts on confirmation
of Colonel Knox, for secretary
of the navy, and Henry L. Stim
son, for secretary of war, the
isolationists intend, by circum
stantial evidence, to demon
strate that President Roosevelt
is not innocent of the charge.
It is an open secret in the
national capital that the French
government was led to believe
that the United States would
join that country in the event
of war and when, finally, the
president in reply to the last
appeal of the French premier,
said only congress can declare
war, France threw up the
sponge. So much faith was
placed in this report that many
government officials in Wash
ington expected the French gov
ernment to produce an alleged
note containing this promise
and place the blame for the
French collapse at the doors of
the White House.
...
ACCORDING to the story
and it may as well be told
now as heard later in the heat
of the senate debate and the
political campaign the central
figure is William Bullitt, am
bassador to France. Bullitt, at
a French celebration, said to the
assembled banqueters, in effect,
that if France should become
involved In a war, the United
States would be at its side. For
a somewhat similar expression
Jimmy (Golden Boy) Cromwell,
minister to Canada, was repri
manded by Secretary of State
Hull. No reprimand for Bullitt
When Cromwell, husband of
the Doris Duke millions, had
his knuckles rapped, senators
decided to summon Bullitt, then
visiting in the United States,
and inquire about his remarks
to the French. Bullitt escaped
the clutches of the senate by
taking passage on the clipper

Mr. Roosevelt assert that the
two diplomats wanted him to
make good on the alleged pro
mises in the so-called note to
the French government.
Incidentally, when the French
government fled Paris, Bullitt
remained behind and, according
to dispatches, busied himself de
stroying files and the code In
the embassy. After the flight of
the French government, Bullitt
was useless to the state depart

Secretary Hull, and he was In
no position to report on the
movements of the government

FRTHERIHO their attack on the
president by the senators Is the
manner in which supplies have been
sent to the allies. In tha first place
the president as commander-in-chief
over-rode the high command by
ordering planes the army needed sold
to tha French. Accidental death of
a French pilot In California was the
first Intimation the nation had of
the transaction. Then the hurh com
mand was shoved aside and Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau was
placed In charge of furnishing sup
plies to the alllea.
Latterly the army and navy have
been worried about what to do It
they are called for action In the
next 18 months because tbeir equip
ment, which requires 18 months to
replace, has been shipped to the bel
ligerents. Most astonished group on
Capitol Hill were the aenate and

motor torpedo boats had been turned
