Bank Bulldiug Mr. McNary—A Poer Choice (New York Times) persuaded the Republican party to name Senator McNary as Wendell Willkie’s running mate.

A HOROSCOPE | “The stars incline but do not ¢ rmpel” o SUNDAY, JULY 14 Benefic aspects rule today which is a time most auspicious for taking stock of one's accomplishments. It is a favorable sway under which to start reforms, individual and pub- lic. The stars encourage writing and lefters may have a special effect. The clergy should benefit, for many will turn to the churches for con- solation, Heart and Home: This should be a fortunate rule of the stars for persons dependent upon public ap- proval. Political candidates should benefit. There is a sign presaging opportunity. The navy will attract many young men and again girls will be needed in clerical positions.

(about gold) has been traced to Hitler and the Nazi propaganda directors., The idea seems logical. They would hardly overlook such a chance to injure Allied | purchasing power or to try to worry the United!

They have nothing else as yet with which | to back it.” The New York Times of July 1 publishes a dis- patch from Berlin in which it is declared Lhat; “elimination of gold as the basis of European cur-| rencies and elevation of the reichsmark to the rank of the standard currency of future continental econ- omy—such is the ambitious plan fostered by the vie- | torious termination of the war on the continent.”| In this same German dispatch, however there appears this most significant paragraph: A “Proponents of the idea of making the reichs- mark, backed by the Reich’s political might, and hard German work, the standard currency of Europe, admit, however, that gold cannot be entirely elimin- ated, inasmuch as no other means exists for the final of unscrupulous (Philadelphia Record) Governor Luren Dickinson, of Michigan, who found so much sin in New York and elsewhere, found none at the Republican National Convention. It is true that Governor Dickinson, as befits a Vandenberg isolationist, turned his back upon sin by going over to the Walt Whitman Hotel in Cam- den. But even so, it is nice to hear him say that Philadelphia is “sinless, sexless and safe.” He is at least one-third right, although we wouldn’t want to say which one-third. Governor Dickinson was no doubt piloted around by a tactful person who explained to him that those men standing at high counters were professional tea-tasters and that the girl smoking a cigarette in the corner was a Democrat, and, therefore, damned anyway. Governor Dickinson can report to the folks in Michigan that there was no sin in Philadelphia last week—no sin and very little Vandenberg. A newspaper chain asks: “Why stick our necks out south of the equator?” The thing for us to do, evidently, is to retire to prepared positions in the Arctic circle and throw snowballs if Hitler dares carry his advance that far. The isolationists apparently figure that even at the worst the United States could negotiate an “hon- orable peace” with Hitler which would leave us in pos- session of Idaho, Kansas, South Dakota, and Missouri.
