Instead of de- moralizing a people, it creates the will to fight back. And it involves a colossal expenditure to do amazingly little damage. London, it neec’s to be remembered, is nearly nine-tenths open space. Provided anti-aircraft batteries and pursuit planes can keep enemy bombers at high altitudes, nine out of téen bombs dropped on Londen will'do negligible damage.

The military occupation of Slovakia to the attack on Poland wiped out what re- mained of its dubious freedom.

Although they are ground down more oppressively than under the Hapsburg monarchy; the Czech-Slovaks of today will act to the limit of their capacity as good soldiers the cause of democracy An Error of Fact (Cincinnati Enquirer) Often we hear well-meaning persons observe in conversation that “after all, Germany is only trying to get back what was once hers.” With respect to the Free City of Dan: alone there is some truth in this. But although German in population, Danzig is far more important to Poland, economically and strategically, than to Germany. Also, Danzig in the long run has been more prosperous in the Polish cus- toms union than as part of Germany. With respe to the other Polish areas demanded by Hitler, the well-intended justifications of German claims re utterly uninformed Pomorze, usually known as the Polish Corridor, was once part of the Germ Empire, to be sure, But it was a part of Polar pefore that, for centuries. And at all times it as been inhabited largely by Poles, not Germans. Silesia, also demanded by Hitler, was part of pre- war Germany. But there again it was still earlier part of Poland, and is predominantly Polish in popu- | lation today a general | while Loiidont] evary Buell, a careful, objective scholar, thorough and first-rate book on Poland in English, has shown conclusively that Poland has been grasping in the east, she has re nable claim to the former German areas.

Excepting Danzig, he is demanding areas in which Poles out- number Germans. Peacetime Disaster (Philadelphia Recorder) For the past 115 days salvage experts of the U. S. Navy have been working to raise the sunken sub- marine Squalus and to recover the bodies of her 26 dead. Now that feat has been accomplished, and the Naval Board of Inquiry will continue to seek the cause of the disaster. We hope the cause is found, whether it was failure on the part of the crew or failure of a valve, as re- ported. But we must remember that the sinking of the Squalus in wartime would have been but an incident; there is no rush of divers and salvage experts to raise a German U-boat. In war, the families of the 26 dead would have mourned as they do today, but to the rest of the country the names of the dead would have been only a few more lines of type in a casualty list. Life is valuable—in peacetime. If we can stay hut of war we can keep the lives of Americans valuable. Now that the sea serpent season is over, dwellers along the Atlantic and Pacific are seeing submarines. That ought to be good for the duration of the war, or 1t least until next summer.
