DECKER EDITORIAL I a — « HELL'S FURY UNLEASHED As this editorial is being written almost the en- tire area of Europe is seething in what will prob- ably be the most stupendous and terrifying war in the world’s history. Hitler, with fiendish design has launched his master stroke in a wide offensive that will farce the kssue 0 a bitter, bloody decision For months and Years the world has known that a madman was running beserk in Europe. The unholy and inhuman crimes which Hitler and his Nazis perpetrated on his own countrymen were notice of his infamous designs. It is not strange that having smelled blood in hls own land, Hitler should seek to satiate himself outside. He 1s doing tt and will continue to do it, until, as inevitably must follow, decency and humanity get the upper hand. Hitler's miltary designs are perfecily plain. He wants fo crush England which he accuses as stand- ing in his path toward domination of the large part of the world he covets. Harmless, relatively helpless small nations, like Denmark, Norway and now the low countries are to him not independent nations, entitled to respect and the enjoyment of their own soverignity but inanimate obstacles in the path of a shrewd but unscruptlous dictator, It is obvious that the world waited too long to take this man’s monstrous ambitions as seriously as they are deserved. Normal human beings might be excused for some of this Indifference, Nothing quite so brutal has threatened the world since civ. ilization’s dawn. Decent people find It difficult to comprehend such matchless indecency. But henceforth there will be no excuse for brave and intelligent peoples to deal with the Hit- ler program as resembling anything human. It Is far from that. It is a menace to everything held dear not only by the free peoples of Europe but free peoples everywhere. Happily free peoples will not surrender readily those rights which alone make life worth living. Such people may be sluggish in getting underway, but they will pot betray the civ- {lization they helped bulid. A man who doesn’t like war, according to Hit- ler's viewpoint, is only half a man, Too frequently, so is the man who comes back from one, With forty newspaper correspondents in France “in search of the war” the British Director of Pub- lic Relations has his hands full. Major Gen. John Hay Bedth, who holds this post in Great Britain, in- sists that the employers of some correspondents seem to think “the war was arranged entirely for the American press and the newsreels” He insists that “all the hot news in the world Is not worth the life of a single British soldier or sailor.” A horse doctor who Inspected an ailing critter, and announced thas something ought to be done and then packed his valise and went home without doing anything would violate the ethics of his pro- fession. Thomas E. Dewey is following precisely that procedure in his presidential campaign. A great many things are wrong, according to Dewey, bul he fails to say what he would do about it. If he knows what he would do as President, he is pur- posely concealing it. © A woman was awarded first prize of $25 in a Home Idea contest, Her idea was separate medicine cabinets for husband and wife. “Many ruffled dis- wifey discovering an Imperative need for some- Br he Sablher, 4nd opening the door i f { } i ii 16th, 1940 —————— the convention with a o gronter number of delegates than any other candidate, Apparently the Ohlo Senator has the edge in regard to Southern dele- gates, Because the National Guard constitutes eighty pet cent of our Initial protective force, the War De- partment plans to increase the training of the guardsmen this year from two tc three weeks, Sunday, May 19th, has been designated, “I Am An American Day,” by President Roosevelt, who urges the public to observe it in recognition of citi- zens who have attained thelr majority or have bee come naturalized within the past year. Last week President Roosevelt gave his endorse ment to legislation extending the Hatch Act's re- strictions on political activities to State employes pald wholly or in part from Federal funds. Although he finds the original Hatch Act with several reser. vations, the President thinks it Is a 20od thing to make the same restrictions applicable to State em- ployes whenever possible, There may be no connection whatever, but ob- servers noted last week that the United States bat- tle fleet will continue to remain at its base in Hawall end that the announcement coincided with increased tension in Europe, where ex‘ension of the conflict seemed Inevitable, In Washington, the State De- partment kept a watchful eve on the Far East where relations between Soviet Russia and Japan have improved. Great Britain and France, it is re- ported, are concerned over the possibility that Japan might throw in its lot with Germany, That the United States, with its fleet in Hawall and in f& position to bring strong economic pressure upon the Japanese, may be able to keep the situation In the Far East from running wild. Adolf Hitler, as supreme commander of the arm- ed forces of the Reich, directs the destinies of some 2.000.000 German soldiers. In the World War his highest rank was corporal in command of a squad of eight men. Nearly 25 years ago <nhe Austrian- born Private Hitler marched off with a Bavarian infantry regiment to Flanders. After nearly three yrars in the Western Front trenches and after sur- viving one shrapnel wound he atlalned the rank of corporal. In 1918 Corporal Hitler captured a French dugout almost singlehanded and won the Iron Cross, first class. He was in a hospital regaining the use of his eyes after a gas shell exploded a few feet away, when the armistice was signed Not often in cour proceedings does a case come to light in which a father of two vouthful de- fendants urges the judge to “give my boys such a sentence that will teach them that crime does not pay.” Yet just such a situation was enacted in the Blalr county courts a few days ago. The Case Was a most unusual one from many angles. The brothers, with a companion, admitted they engaged in a se- ries of fourteen robberies within one week's time, breaking into nine churches, two civic organiza- tion centers, two liquor establishments and a ser- vice station. Judge Patterson readily agreed with the parent that the defendants were in dire need of punishment, and administered a severe admon- ishment along with their sentences But the point is, that ordinarily parents ask the court to Rive their boys another chance In this instance the father was probably following the best course for his sons. The boys will have a long time to ponder their misdeeds—long enough to come to the con- clusion that crime doesn’t pay Just about ten vears ago the Naval Limitation conference was concluded in London, with the United States. Great Britain and Japan reaching an agreement in regards to cruisers destroyers and submarines. The three nations had earlier agreed, in Washington, upon a battleship ratio, the famous 5-5-3. but only after Japan had demanded and se- cured agreement from the United States not to fortify certain areas in the Pacific. It is a long cry from the disarmament parieys to the year 1940, when practically every nation in the world Is fever- ishly enlarging its military. naval and alr power The disarmament agreement did not prevent Ger. radany from surging (nto a preparedness campaign, based largely upon the development of the world's largest airplane fleet. The lesson to be learned from the fallure of the disarmament agreements, as we see the matter, ig that it takes more than signatures to. an international pact to maintain peace, There must be good will between the nations or, where this is lacking. there must be power somewhere 0 uphold law and order in the world The reward of $1.000000, offered for the delivery of . Adolf Hitler to the custody of the League of Nations, reflects little intelligence and leas judgment upon the men responsible for the foolish and ab- sud offer. Frankly, we are immensely surprised that a man as prominent as Samuel Harden Church. president of the Carnegie Institute should lend himself to such a farcical stunt. Absolutely agreeing with Mr. Church in his denunciation of the “criminal motive” that dominates the Hitler program, we nevertheless consider his offer the silliest exhibition that has come to public attention since the sinking of American battleships, after the disarmament parley, and the departure of the Ford “peace ship” for Europe during the last World War. To understand how foolish the proposal is It us assume that some German magnate offers $1.- M0000 for the capture of the President of the United States. What would the people of this coun- try think? Undoubtedly, there are Germans who think as little of the leaders of democracies as we think of Herr Hitler and other leaders of dictator dominated peoples, LET'S BE SPECIFIC {From Pittsburgh Press) Most o the articulate aspirants for the Presi- dency are stressing their high resolve that this country shall be kept out of war , . . These glib and sweeping declarations against going to war are of no great value, To be convince ing. the candidates should get down to the specifi. cations. They should tell us their reactions to such questions as these: Do they support the cash-and.carty policy of the existing Neutrality Act, under which we have temporarily waived our right to the freedom of the geas, and under which our merchant marine has escaped without a sinking? Do they approve the release of advanced types of our war planes for sale to the Allies? Wotild they favor the release to the Allies of such military secrets As the American bombsight? Would they favor the American occupation of Greenland in the event of a threat of Nazi seizure? Or after a Nazi scizure? If the Netherlands are overrun by Germany, would they advocate American occupation of Dutch property in the Caribbean-—Duteh Ouiana and Cur- dono, particularly? , If the Alles run oul of money, say two years hence, would the candidates forbid further ship. Or would they recommend repeal of the Johnson Act and modification of the Neutrality Act in order If Japan moves in on thus blanketing the Philippines, passive? Have they plans for assuring our contin. quinine, etc, for which THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA. i" J LOUISA’S LETTER THE Orrice CAx “A Little Nonsense Now and Then, Is Relished by the Wisest Men” Dear Louisa: ing with me for about five year He takes me every where and spends money on me, He has | given me a ring but he never talks about getting married He gets very much hurt if I go | with anyone else.
