It is not only a case of governments utfacing one another, but of an effort to tire out the werves of the peoples behind the governments. This eed not take the form of frightening the civilian | »opulations, but rather the contrary. The purpose is o render the masses extremely uncomfortable and to ‘ nake them a their governments why are they being | made uncomfortable in the absence of enemy fright- | fulness. Something of this effect is noticeable in Great | Britain. Strong protests have been raised in the House of Commons against undue encrébachments on civil liberties. Censorship in various forms is under fire. The critics say that even while Englishmen are fighting for liberty in the field they may lose their liberty at home. But it is a safe conjecture that such mplaints would be much less violent if there were 1 large-scale fighting under way on the sea or in As things are, Englishmen grumble at the is best shown in the of the Britisl s of war in a setting of peace ‘l‘\:\(vmh‘(l children. The scheme is not working very jwell.

Now it {has been decided that the greater ultimate harm | threatens the children running idle in the streets. And again it is a case of popular discontent fed by ack of enemy frightfulness. With German bombs aining down on London, there would be no grumbling Hitler's failure up to now in letting loose his Blitzkrieg in the west probably rep- resents a serious disarrangement of his original plans. But the absence of a lightning war is also throwing out of gear English nerves originally braced for a rain of death from the sk case | Finland Jincinnati Enquirer) When Hitler w ready to annihilate Czecho- slovakia, he told the world the Czechs were aggressors and Germany would have to fight in self-defense | When he moved against Poland September 1 it was to combat aggression.” Learning from Hitler, Joseph Stalin is now at work creating the absurd myth of a Finnish threat to the Soviet Union An editorial in Pravda of Moscow ridiculous charge, masking only slightly a as makes this Russiar decision to compel the capitulation of the Finns by { force if necessa It is this tone of coercion at Mos- cow which mak the Russo-Finnish dispute a very grave one Finland is a country of less than 4,000,000 people with ganized army of about 125,000. To suppose it threatens the Soviet Union with its population of 160,000,000 and its army of several millions is too pre- | posterous to deceive anybody Neither could Finland be the | other power’s attack on Russia. In other circum- tances, Finland might abet a German invasion of Northern Russia. But today that is out of the question The Finns have made it plain they are willing to give concessions. But they are not willing to give Russia a naval base at Hangko, at the head of the | Gulf of Finland. If they did so, they would have to allow a Red Army garrison in the heart of their coun- try. Events point to a deliberate, unprovoked Russian attack on Finland, although this may yet be avoided by compromise. If it comes to war, nobody anywhere will be in doubt as to the responsibility. Whether they get tangible aid against Russian imperialism or not, the Finns will have the sympathy of the whole world an or spearhead of any The Headache in India (Philadelphia Record) In order to fight for democracy in Europe, Great Britain is finding it necessary to invoke dictatorial powers in a number of Indian provinces. The Mar- quess of Linlitheew has announced that emergency powers will be invoked as a result of his failure to | reach an agreement with Hindu and Moslem leaders. In spite of the long suspicion that Hindu-Moslem rivalry in India is earefully nurtured by the British, it is hinted that this rift is due to the failure of the British to reach an agreement with native leaders. India is taking advantage of the war to press for r measure of independence, the same course 1m,u. by Treland during the last war.
