MAIL MATTER

AID TO THE ENEMY

What is "Life" trying to do?In the September 4th number

JS published an article by WilliamC. Bullitt entitled "What RomeThinks." It is as dangerous a piece

of writing as we have ever read.That it has already been widelyquoted by the Nazi press is notsurprising. It is grist for Hitler'smill, the Nazi line from start tofinish.

The article is a diatribe against

our ally, Russia. Russia, not Ger-

many or Japan, is depicted as ourreal enemy. The Romans and theVatican?for Bullitt is speaking

for the Pope, he tells us. as wellas for our former enemies?"seewestern civilization once againthreatened by hordes of invaders

from the east. . . . Dominating

the hearts and minds of all menthroughout Italy is the question:Will the result of this war be the

subjugation of Europe by Moscowinstead of Berlin?'" "The Ital-ians," we are told, "know Hitler"?well, they ought to, having

fought for him for five years?-

"and they fear he will turn Ger-many over at the moment of col-lapse to the Communists." Andso they hope we will see the folly

of our ways and form a blocagainst Russia, we and all theEuropean countries, including, in-terestingly enough, western Ger-many.

Freedom of the Press standshigh on our Bill of Rights, butin war-time we do not allow!such freedom when its exerciseinvolves publishing matters ofvalue to the enemjf- "Military jinformation" is censored. Yet here |is an article, published in a mag-azine of world-wide circulation,whose value to the enemy is, we jwould wager, as great as would ibe the specifications of our bomb !sight or the plans of our generalstaff. For Hitler's only hope, sincethe war started, has lain in thepossibility of splitting the United jNations. And so Nazi propaganda;has harped incessantly on any is-sue which might drive the Alliesapart. In the propaganda directedat the United States and Britainthe perils of communism werestressed, while in that broadcastto Russia were depicted the evilsof capitalism. From the start theNazis have shown masterly skillin the comprehension and execu-

tion of Lincoln's warning. Theyknow, better, alas, than we do,that united we shall stand anddivided we must fall. And nowthat, together, the Big Three arerushing to victory, their one hopefor a lenient peace and a futurecome-back lies in the breaking-upof our alliance. This article ofBullitt's, directing Americafi sus-picion toward Russia and Russiananger toward America, could nothave fitted better into Hitler'sstrategy if it had been writtenby Goebbels himself.

The editors of "Life" are eithercriminally irresponsible, or elsethey are playing close to the lineof treason. This article was pub-lished for one of two reasons:because it would create a sensa-tion and send a few more nickelsrolling into "Life's" bulging cof-fers; or because it expressed theviewpoint of the editors. If thelatter, then these gentlemen mustbe listed with their correspondent,

William C- Bullitt, in the darkgathering of our energies abroadand at home, with the Nazis andthe Japanese, and with our homefascists, seditionists and would-be saboteurs.

The opening picture in thisnumber of "Irife" is of a French-man kneeling to lift a handfulof French soil. The article under-neath it closes with this sentence:"All that the Germans seem tohave left now is a last stand." Alast stand?and William C. Bul-

litt, the men who published his

s article, and all others who give

such aid to the enemy. ?KLB

"FREE TO GO"| Children of Moore County, eventhose who ordinarily do not likeschool, this year associated theopening of the fall term with"fredom" rather than "bondage",

and never before have theyinarched into their classroomswith happier faces. The polioquarantine, which had been in ef-fect for eleven long weeks, hadlifted at midnight.

Walking up Broad Street at

noon Monday we heard a littlegirl with long curls call out hap-pily: "Mommie, we're free to goto the picture show now and I'mgoing this afternoon!"

The children are to be com-mended for their philosophic ac-ceptance of the ban which forcedthem to forego movies, swimmingparties, and all of the group funthat belongs to vacation time.They have shown that they can

endure hardship and disappoint-ment as good soldiers, with chinsup, and we rejoice with them thatthey are again "free to go".?BCS

My big brother tells me aboutan Indian chief named Crazy Cowwho went to the Indian agent andapplied for citizenship papers. Theagent said, "You can't get thosepapers until you can show thatyou aren't a bigamist. And youknow very well that you've got

two wives." Crazy Cow presentedthe tribal dead-pan and grunted."So", continued the agent, "be-fore you ask for citizenship you'dbetter go home and tell one ofyour wives you ain't married toher." After a thoughtful pauseCrazy Cow replied, "You tell-

Here in the wilds of East Set-auket I contemplate Big ChiefDewey, out on the war-path, tell-ing um. So tar, seems to me, heisn't telling um very well. Looksto me as if the Republican Partyhas a couple of wives on its hands,

and something or other shouldbe done about it. One of them isnamed Depression and the otherknown to the neighbors as Pros-perity.

Double marriage calls for a lotof swift double talk. We oughtto cut down expenses, says Tom-,

my, and maybe we should beginwith the Army. It's a bureau-cratic Army, run by a hard oldbureaucrat named Eisenhower.Well, says Tommy, it would bea lot more economical to sendthat Army home and, of course,ilick Germany at the same time.Or maybe just get the Republi-can boys home before ElectionDay?provided, of course, thatthey can get hold of state ballots.|All of this to be a part of our non-political peace plan.

I'm not quoting the Governorverbatim, understand. But some

of Tommy's ideas ought to becalled Tommyrotics. A good new

word for the dictionary to try out.Another Tommyrotic is the Gov-

ernor's plan for policing Germany,after our victory. Send the Armyhome and turn the cop jobs over

: to boys who'd rather live in Ber-jlin than Boston.

Every bright little soldier whowants to do that will please holdup his hand. Wealthy industrial-ists, whom Mr. Dewey expects tocreate overnight, will offer im-mediate employment to all thosewho do not care to serve as foreignM. P's.

I ought to go to jail for twistingthe Governor's remarks into theabove burlesque. But he's qui«.e atwister himself, when it comes toputting the right fact in the wrongplace. For instance, there's the"Roosevelt Depression". If you'llbelieve Tommy, we were just do-ing fine up to the very minuteFDR took the solemn oath of of-fice; there was a chicken in everypot and the busy workman didn'tknow what to do with his surplusearnings.

What's this? Political amnesia?Let me quote a few lines from

somebody else's opinion:"The great depression of the

1930s induced in the Americanpeople moods of self-doubt bor-dering on despair. It looked likethe end of the world. .

. Thephysical spectacle of want andidleness?silent factories, desertedstoresi sealed-up mines, soupkitchens and bread lines?wassad enough. Far more tragic wasthe moral spectacle; fear feedingupon itself and shrinking fromevery shadow. The kind of menwho until then had bubbled overwith self-assurance. . . , retreatedinto cobwebbed corners to wring

their hands in futile inaction . . .

Men of small faith and smallerimagination . . . proceeded to'elaborate an almost scientific sys'-

tem of defeatist thought. . .

The fellow who said this is no

New Dealer. He's Eric Johnston,President of the U. S. Chamberof Commerce. Although I can'tgo along with Eric in all hisideas, he seems to have a bird'seye view of America and hershare in the world's headachewhich, I'm afraid, Tom lacks. Butmaybe Tom will learn as he goesalong. He's a young man gettinghis education the hardest way.

I hope Gene Stevens is goingright ahead with the Half PintClub's $11,000,000 building pro-ject. We're going to need a lot ofhousing room for captured Ger-man generals.
