the streets." And he declared:
"Hitler cannot be defeated
with armiei of starving chil
dren." When you put it that way, it's
pretty hard to deny him his re
quest. However, there are two
viewpoints about shipping food
into Europe, and the British
government has taken the stand
that any supplies would in ef
fect be aid for Hitler. It isn't
a nice subject to debate, for
everybody would feed the chil
dren if possible, but here again
it is necessary to consider the
case in its relation to the out
come of the war.

Shall Hearts or Heads Govern
U. S. Attitude Toward Finland,
And Europe's Starving Young?
Br Dewitt MacKensle,
Associated Press Analyst.
The refusal of little Finland to heed America's warning that
she stop fighting mighty Russia raises the issue of whether our
efforts to aid the allies shall be governed by our hearts or by
our heads.
We have a similar problem,
from the standpoint of hearts
versus heads, in former Presi
dent Hoover's renewed 'appeal
that we feed Europe's starving
children.
Each circumstance must be
Judged in its relation to the
whole vast picture of this horri
ble war. We must consider what
effect the Individual tragedy
will have on the outcome of a
conflict which is in process of
moulding the future of human
ity for a hundred and one years.
Finn Heroism
Hailed By U. S.
Take the case of the Finns.
Mr. Hoover also intervened on
their behalf and in a protest
against the attitude of the Unit
ed States government he said:
"Only two years ago this
peaceful little nation was out
rageously attacked by commun
ist Russia. Our whole country
heralded Finland's resistance as
the most heroic stand of democ
racy since Thermopylae."
Well, there's no question that
the heart of America was with
the tiny David of the north in
the conflict with Goliath. Maybe
America's heart is with them
still, but we have a new set of
circumstances to consider.
Now if Finland were down on
the central Russo-German front,
it wouldn't matter so much. But
the Finns are shooting at Rus
sia's vitals. Their efforts endan
ger the safety of Leningrad, one
of Soviet's greatest industrial
centers, and gateway to the
Baltic.
If Leningrad falls, the reds
will be cut off from the Baltic,
and their navy will be rendered
impotent. Moreover, Leningrad
is the anchor of the right wing
of the Russian battle-line, and
its loss would mean a turning of
the flank. Then, too, the Finnish
action threatens to close the
Arctic ports of Murmansk and
Archangel, through which Amer
ican and British aid for Russia
is moving, thereby cutting the
reds off from the Atlantic alto
gether. Allied Cause
Is Dangered
So the problem ceases to be
one relating solely to Finland's
welfare. The whole allied cause
is endangered and what are
you going to do about that?
The question of feeding hun
gry children is more difficult.
Mr. Hoover recently stated that
a survey of Belgium showed
"the shortage of meats, fats and
milk is crucifying the children,"
and the situation in Warsaw was
so bad that "the municipal news
paper was appealing to the
people not to throw corpses Into

(Back in 1939. when Ous Newbury,

Legion Parade Leader
Wounded in Shooting;
Wealthy Man Accused
Stockton, Calif., Nov. IS. (JP)
Maurice Zuckerman, SO, wealthy
Los Angeles and Stockton com
mission merchant, was accused
today of assault with a deadly
weapon with intent to commit
murder. The charge was an
aftermath of tfie Armistice day
shooting of a Stockton Amer
ican Legion leader in a cocktail
bar.
Justice of the Peace George
F. Buck set bail at $30,000
cash or $100,000 bond, and se
lected November 24 for a pre
liminary hearing.
Victim in the shooting was
Otto Dander, 40, past command
er of the Stockton Legion Post,
and leader of the Armistice day
parade. Surgeons gave him an
even chance to recover from a
pistol bullet wound in the ab
domen.
The shooting occurred in a bar
where Dander had gone with his
wife, brother and sister-in-law to
celebrate. Dander's wife signed
the complaint against Zuckerman.

The latest resignation was
that of Sherman H. Dalrymple,

the union's 21-man council
