The interest of the people of the United States in the ouatity plight of Great tain stems from the fact that the United Kingdom répresents our first and fore- ater ally.

They know that it is the faith of most of those who go into combat. Not many service- men believe, before battle, ; ‘ that they will be among the slain. Nevertheless, some of them die. , Without any assumption that the President may be incorrect in his philosophy, or those who believe it, we point out that the law of percentage: is against the theory. There are places and enterprises more dan- gerous than others. The law of percentage applies to the bulk of, those who invite its applicaticn and death re- sults in proportion to the chances taken: This applies to flying in a plane, traveling in an automobile and riding on a train. other human activities.
