(Jie Mall Trlbuna Want Ada By FRANK JENKINS There's a big to-do in Belgium over whether or not King Leo pold shall come back from Swit zerland and sit on his Belgian throne. Personally, I don't care a hoot one way or the other, and I presume you feel the same way about it. But the reasons why he isn't silting on his throne now carry a certain amount of inter est for us. ESPECIALLY at this moment when we are beginning to ship guns and such to turope to gel our new allies there ready to meet a possible invasion by an other aggressor. AWAY back toward the.be cinnini; nf World War II the Germans, after a puzzling period of inactivity that was generally referred to at the time as the "phony war," struck swiftly and terrifyingly. The blow fell first on France, with a sideswipe at Belgium. The German panzer divisions went through the French Magi not line like a hot knife through butter, but for a couple of tense weeks we kept hoping that the once-great French army would rally behind a new line and stop the invaders.

That cooked the goose of the British army which had been trying to back up and reinforce the French. The Germans poured around the left wing of the French and the British, which was left undefended by the Bel gian surrender. T'HE debacle of Dunkirk fol- lowed. In that grimly heroic disaster, the British lost the flower of their military forces and at the moment is certainly looked like the jig was up. It was in that black hour that Churchill delivered his blood, tears and sweat speech that will stand forever as an expression of deathless courage by a leader. The bold words of Churchill were backed up by the British people with their lives and their fortunes and what followed, followed. the postwar world. That, fundamentally, Is why they have a "dollar shortage" problem. BUT let's get back to Leopold. His surrender SAVED Belgium from the horrors of war. The little nation rode through those years as a conquered peo ple. Leopold rode through them as a prisoner of war. The British FOUGHT through them and bled themselves white. I'VE retold this story to explain this story to explain in part why the Belgians have been a bit torn with doubt by the dilem ma posed by the possible return of Leopold to the throne of his fathers. Some of them are GRATE FUL TO HIM, probably, for the fact that they are alive. Others, I suspect, still feel the shame of the surrender. they're a tough and hard-bitten lot. They'll stand in the face of a Russian blitz, as they stood in the face of the German blitz. Win, lose or draw. They're that kind of a breed, But the rest of Europe is un certain. It could do as Belgium did. We can't blink that possibility. Memphis, Tenn. (U.B Th IiiV. EugenevL. Biggs of Alame. da, Cal., will carry Identification on his next visit to Memphis. He reached town in the midst of a police search for a liquor store holdup man. When he couldn't prove who he was, he was given a night's free lodging in the city jail. 0 GOLDEN WEST'S richer flavor W Set MGmCttf per pound IT IS one of the splendid stories of history. Basically the sacri fices made by the British people in that awful hour and the bloody and awful hours that fol lowed are responsible for the fix they are in at the present time. The struggle so weakened them that they have been unable to meet fully the problems of WHAT I started out to say is this: We are pouring arms and treasure into western Europe in the hope that if a RUSSIAN BLITZ SHOULD START the na tions of western Europe would hold the line while we rally our forces as the British rallied theirs after Dunkirk. How do we know that will happen? We don't. We're sure of the British. Whatever else they may be, Every fragrant cup of Golden West brims with the richer flavor of prized Central American coffees. Yet Golden West actually costs less than ordinary coffees! It can give you 20 extra cups per pound! Here's how to enjoy richer coffee flavor and save. Just brew Colden West your usual way. There are 3 grinds for regular-drip-Silex methods. But use 13 less. YouH get the satisfaction of richer flavor and save up to 8 a pound! n GIVEC HOW- LI Published as a Public Servict by M. M. DEPT.
