British Blitzkrieg Starts
THE long-awaited blitzkrieg against England has!
Berlin's denial is only added evidence.
For that has been Hitler's technique from the first
to convince the enemy that no matter how tough
the going may be, it's soon going to be worse.
TPHE report of the first day's fighting is typical of re
1 cent war communiques, and there is every reason
to believe the pattern will be continued.
Great Britain claims at least 60 German planes
were brought down and only 26 lost.
Berlin claims 89 British planes were shot down,
falling "like shot birds out of the sky," while only 17
were lost !
Judging the present by the past, the British report
comes nearer the truth than the German. But in all
likelihood both are far from the mark.
As a well-posted Canadian newspaper man re
cently told the present writer, air casualties are so
heavy on both sides, so much greater than in the last
war, and so much greater than expected, that nei
ther side dares tell the truth. The high command in
both countries fears if the facts were known, national
morale might crack.
THIS may or may not be correct, but there is con-
siderable evidence to sustain it.
And this much is CERTAIN. No war, aerial or
otherwise, could ever be conducted as successfully as
the Berlin and London war offices claim.
For without exception now for nearly four months
each side has claimed its air losses have been only a
small fraction of its victories. That has been true,
day in, day out
Obviously nothing like that could ever happen.
There would be bound to be a few days, no matter
how superior the air force, when the enemy would
get the better of it, each
convicts itself.
U. S. Blitzkrieg Doesn t
VES, the Blitzkrieg over there has started. But the
political blitzkrieg over here hasn't, as yet It
may start this coming Saturday with Mr. Willkie's
speech, or it may not But when it does, look out!
Unless all signs fail it promises to be hot, hotter than
a fire-cracker crossed by a blow torch.
For this, too, will be a war to the death, a war
between the haves and the have-nots, a war for the
control of a continent. The fact that the conflict will
be political and therefore a SHAM, rather than a
REAL battle, will not modify the intensity of the
feelings, at least not much.
So, don't worry, there will be plenty of frightful
ness, plenty of oratorical carnage, plenty of humbug
and nonsense.
AS things are shaping up now, both sides will claim
they are fighting for the survival of democracy
and the American way of life, and strange as it may
seem, both sides will believe it. Both sides will also
claim if the other side wins
u mey win, it will mean peace.
Both sides will work hard to gain the offensive
and maintain it For whether the conflict be political
or militaristic, all experts agree that to be euchered
into a stabilized defense means defeat
In this direction, obviously, Mr. Willkie will have
all the best of it For the Democratic party has a
record which he can shoot at, and the Republican
party hasn't And he will shoot, have no fear of
that
Moreover, he won't shoot in the fashion to which
BYer' Donkey has become accustomed of late, in
other words he won't adopt the Harding-Coolidge-lloover-Landon
scatter-gun technique. His shooting
will be sharp, unconventional and to the mark.
"So What?"
IN this direction, the reply of Oliver A. Quale, Jr.,
treasurer of the Democratic national committee, to
Mr. Willkie's charge of violation of the Corrupt Prac
tice Act, should be noted, for it so cTanhioallv svm-

THERE you have the real keynote of the Chicago
1 convention, as so persistently sounded by Mayor
Kelly, its real boss.
Boss Kelly received plenty of complaints regard
ing the way he ran that sad and sordid affair but to
all of them he turned a deaf ear, for did anyone deny
that if Mr. Roosevelt were renominated the Repub
lican candidate wouldn't have a chance?
Not a word to justify his methods. No denial they

OXYCEN FOR CORONARY THROMBOSIS
Angina pectoris means quin
sey of the chest, heart pang, the
Latin word angere meaning to
choke. Emo
tion often pre
cipitates an at
tack of angina
pectoris in one
subject to coro
nary disea:

any rascal who chooses to annoy
me." A bad example the doctor
set. Passing the buck.
Coronary arteries are the ar
teries which convey blood from
the great artery or aorta just
beyond the aortic valve to the
muscle of the heart wall itself.
The most favored theory is
that the attack of angina pec
toris is due to spasm of the coro
nary artery which restricts the
quantity of blood delivered to
the heart muscle. However, no
body knows whether this is actu
ally so, for of course it is no
time to operate during a parox
ysm of angina, and post-mortem
examination cannot determine
whether the coronary arteries
were spasmodically constricted
before death.
Whether coronary spasm is or
is not the cause of the pain, a
more plausible explanation for
the symptoms of angina pectoris
is anoxia, insufficient oxygen
delivered to the heart muscle.
The same cause, anoxia, would
account also for coronary occlu
sion (shutting off of a branch of
the coronary artery altogether)
or coronary thrombosis (clotting
of blood in the coronary artery)
in many cases.
Coronary thrombosis has been
observed at autopsy in many
cases of carbon monoxide gass
ing, and of course the serious or
fatal effects of carbon monoxide
are wholly due to crowding oxy
gen out of the tissues or cells, in
short to anoxia. Difficult breath
ing, gasping for air, palpitation,
cough and pain in chest over the
heart region are familiar symp
toms of such coronary throm
bosis. Administration of pure oxy
gen continuously for three or
four hours, with interruption of
inhalations for fifteen minutes.

"ERMANY, serving notice
that she is prepared as well
for a long war as for a blitz
krieg, announces that her own
food supplies and those of the
Balkan states are ample to last
through the winter and adds
that the fate of the people in
the countries she has occupied
is no great concern of hers.
pERMANYS story is that
Britain egged Poland, Nor
way, Holland, Belgium, Den
mark, France, etc., into resist
ing Germany's demands and so
is responsible for whatever fate,
including impending starvation,
may have befallen them.
Britain's position is that Ger
many, having conquered these
peoples, is responsible for feed
ing them.
About all that can be proved
is that war is hard and cruel
and relentless. (Also that if you
don't defend yourself nobody
else will).
WHERE we come in:
" If we feed the starving peo
ple of these conquered lands,
we help the Germans. If we
refuse to feed them, we help
the British.
We're in the doghouse either
way.
GETTING
back to Rumania's
story that Russian seizure
of crops in Bessarabia and Buco
vina has deprived Germany of
food she might have had. it
confirms the already obvious
fact that Stalin is taking all
the gravy.
PGYPT is preparing to change
- from passive alliance with
Britain to active military co
operation with British forces in
Africa.
Egypt, in for trouble anyway,
chooses to fight rather than be
merely- passively fought over.
HPHE fighting in Egypt is in-
teresting because men have
fought in Egypt ever since there
have been men to fight. What
they were fighting for back in
those dim centuries before his

Who will know a few centur

grabbing the ball of the world
crisis, and running with it for
all he was worth, the president
would attempt a strategy of tem
porizing and delay.
The succeeding weeks con
firmed the first impression.
When preparing his earliest re
quest for supplemental defense
appropriations, the president at
tempted to hold the appropria
tions down to the incredibly in
adequate sum of $300,000,000
and had to be persuaded by for
mer Secretary of War Harry A.
Woodring, of all people, to al
low more for the army. Each of
the succeeding supplemental re
quests seemed to be wrung from
the White House almost by main
force.
e e
IN the same way, the president al
lowed It to appear that ha waa
crowded, as' It were, into naming
Messrs. Knudsen, Stettlnlus and their
colleagues to the defense commission,
and Into giving them full powers.
The Chicago convention, with its
shuffling compromtsea, lta timid
management, and lta general drear
iness and boredom, was only the
national cltmaz to what had gone
before. Nor had tha presidents tem
porizing and delaying coma to any
end even now. Every Informed per
son knows that ha strongly favors
lncressed aid to England, and that
I he regards passage of a conscrip
tion bill as absolutely vital to the
national security.
Yet nothing positive has been done
so fsr to aaslst the English In their
death struggle, and the conscription

better than any other man. Is acute

know that while temporizing may
appeal to the unawakened tn the
present brief lull In tha world con
fllct it will turn out to have been
the worst politics In the world when
the times of danger awaken the peo
ple at last.
The explanation, surely, la deeper
than mere presidential politics. After
a year and a half In which he had
concentrated all his Interest cm for
eign policy, the battle of France
suddenly showed the president he
waa wrong in hla foreign policy's
central assumption, that there waa
plenty of time for this country to
prepare to help the alllea. Surety
such a discovery aa that would put
any man off his stride.
- It would explain the repeated fail

It would explain such strange Ineptl
