Wellington, 1011 American Bank Building | LETTERS FROM ENGLAND | “I marvel again and again how human nature adjusts itself. Here we are, not knowing what horror | and terror the next day may bring, but we are still| ncerned that the curtains need washing, and it| is still a minor tragedy that the charwoman has| not sent the meat in time for dinner.” This is one short excerpt from one letter oufi of thousands that Americans constantly receive from |’ friends and relatives in England since the Battle of Britain has been in progress, but it is expressive of the attitude of a brave people, Better than the news dispatches—because more | personal—these letters give a picture of what life Hitler's Stukas and long range guns. | give an impersonal impression; is like under Too often the cables they seldom contain such touches as the above. Pcr»‘ gonal letters remind Americans that the most order- ly and apparently secure of civilizations can become a battlefront. | In England the people have attained a social| Jevel that more closely approximates that of the United States than of any other country. In short, the Englishman in his habits, his environment and| his thinking is very like the American. He reacts to| the strain he lives under as would any free man. He will not be terrorized, he will not be browbeaten. He will fight. He will keep his composure and hh faith in the future. It is to this spirit that letter| after letter testifies. Another says i “Tell the people in America that we in England are not afraid whatever happens, that we have| plenty to eat and that we believe we will come out\ best in the end.” These people they are not deserted by America. is the last refuge of [reedom in Europe. It cannot perish as long as these people keep their courage.

Conscientious ob-| jectors in this city amounted to less than two-tenths | of one percent of the total. In the nation at large they are not likely to be an important factor. The| registration machinery worked with surprisingly little confusion. Rich and poor, obscure and famous, for| the most part took their turn in line. Senator Rus)‘hY Holt, who had a special registrar come to his office, | after he denounced the draft as “silly and unnec-| essary,” was a conspicuous exception in the demo-| Universal liability to military service can be usedi as an instrument of tyranny. It can also be used,| as President Roosevelt said, to “create a country| where the people alone shall be master, where thm people shall be truly free.” Since our training plam calls for only 800,000 men in the first year, less than| a million in succeeding years, many more will stay at home than will serve, Chance must play a part in the selection, but it will not be the chance of ‘birth, wealth or influenee. A great task remains in determining the nature of the training, in providing a discipline which will be consistent with the democratic tradition, and in making character and competency the sole bases for | promotion. We must have educated officers, but |it ought to be laid down as an unbreakable rule that from now on the bricklayer's or farmer’s son| shall have an equal chance with the public of- | ficial's or the millionaire’s, There should be no place in the new Army for the abhorrent theory of class distinctions.

When Ernest T. Weir, Pittsburgh steel magnate and chairman of the GOP Finance committee, complain- ed recently that business men were not making good on their pre-con- vention campaign fund promises, he wasn't talking about Chicago. Out here they not only are dig- ging deep into their jeans, but are predding the lagging zeal of certain Republican politicians. This signi- ficant movement arose spon- taneously earlier in the autumn, when the trend appeared to be away from Willkie. | G. O. P. leaders went around with long faces and talked lugubriously So at this point a small group of top business men got together and decided to do something. They were: Frank Anderson, vice president of the Automatic Canteen Co., Cloud Wampler, head of Stern, Wampler and Co., leading La Salle Street bond firm; A. J. Browning, president of the United Wall Paper Factories; Hays MacFarland, head .of a large advertising agency; and Sewell} Avery, chairman of U. S. Gymsum Co., and of Montgomery, Ward and Co. WILLKIE'S BLESSING The plan agreed on was to hold a series of business men's lunch eon rallies to stoke up camp: contributions and also inspire men to get out and work for Willkie. MacFarland, Anderson and Wam- pler flew East and laid the idea before Willkie himself at a midnight meeting in his private car after his Philadelphia speech. His response was hearty, “Go to it, and God Bless you.” The group went to it—and have been going to it ever since. At the first luncheon, 700 attended and . in response to MacFarland’s terse command, “How much is it worth to you. g0 gey, xid: of Rapeewit?” Cheered by this exuberent begin- ning, the business leaders decided to carry it to other important Mid- western centers. MacFarland dashed out to Omaha, and in two days pro- moted a luncheon that netted $10,- 000 and started an organization simi- lar to that in Chicago. ‘Wampler, Anderson and others are now doing missionary work in Kan City, St. Louis, Detroit, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Toledo and Cleveland. Their plan is to blanket | the Midwest with these business units and if time permits extend them to the Atlantic seaboard. CONCENTRATING ON KELLY In Chicago a considerable portion of the money raised will be allot- ted to the Citizens Information Committee, a business man’s organ- ization, now centering its campaign on the sixteen city wards which last year gave Mayor Ed Kelly his huge winning majority The program of the CIC is: “Put a stop to business baiting; eliminate class hatred; substitute jobs for WPA; get back to a sound fiscal policy; keep the third term tradition unbroken; have every effort exert- ed to keep out of war; have an or- ganizer and administrator at the helm in case of war.” Henry Pope, Jr., president of the Bear Brand Hosiery Co., heads the CIC, which in Chicago is generally known as the “Pope Committee.” MERRY-GO-ROUND From insurance agents in var- lous parts of the country the Se- curities and Exchange Commission has received copies of letters being sent out by an insurance company official beginning witht “F.D.R. will probably take your insurance business completely away from you if he achieves & third term.

The churches should be ever vigilant. Heart and Home: This is a date for arranging steady donations for relief of suffering. While aid should be generous for war victims, care of the poor at home should be ex- | panded. The stars presage epidem- | ics and pestilences in Europe and Asia.

Conflicting factors in Wendell Will- kie's horoscope seem to indicate that, even though he is outspoken and apparently most frank, he has much in his character which he does not reveal. He is seen as more successful behind the throne than upon it. International Affairs: Germany's | drive for trade advantages now wiil be expanded, with unfortunaté re- sults in many quarters. The spec- ter of famine will be seen in the countries which Hitler has subju- gated. The stars foreshadow deaths of several million men, women and children because of need of food and fuel before the end of winter. Severe weather will make the lack of warm clothing a cause for great mortality among children and old | folk. | Persons whose birthdaté it is will prosper in the coming year. The young will court and marry. Children born on this day will be ambitious and restless. With un- usual talents, boys may lack perti- nacity and desire change while girls will be highly gifted in the use of hands and brains.

Disappointment for | many who have worked in the na- tional campaign will be brief, since the defeated candidate for Presi- dent is to become a leader in im- portant preparedness work, where he will prove his supreme ability as an executive.
