R. A |Kerley, of Houston, Tex., had been cut off and sur- rounded by the Nazis near Mortain. Their situation appears to have been rather desperate, and not unlike that of the “Lost Battalion” of the famous Lieutenant | Colonel Whittlesey in the war of 1917-18, except that "(‘«\]1 in Kerley's forces were able to receive some | supplies and medicines by air.

Other- wise, looking at the thing as unemotionally as pos- | } sible it would seem to us that honors between them are about easy. JMETHING'S WRONG Sidney Hillman, speaking on the CIO Political Action Committee before a House Investigating Com- mittee: it won't endorse Senatorial, State or local candidates The point here is that it is neither generous nor reasonable to assume that an attitude which is nobil- ity when exhibited by one of our own, is rank insanity when exhibited by an enemy. Let us admit that the Nazis, and even, if you like, the Germans generally, are wicked and deserve all that is coming to them; but let us be sure that when we condemn them we condemn them for their qualities that become virtues when manifested in our- selves. Pascal observed that it is a strange sort of | justice which becomes injustice across a boundary | (Washington Post) | river or a mountain range.
