"Britain does not want to quit and jet doe? not want to What other view could be taken by a people who are not consecrated to the god of war? The method employed by the French and Mritish is what really has the Nazis puzzled. Blitzkrieg is the German idea; a long defensive war in the field, combined with a merciless offensive war of economic strangulation, Is the Franco-British idea. The Nazis evidently refuse to believe that Britain and France will follow their program through. It is an error that naturally follows their first error the assumption that Britain would not go to war at alL Though the Nazis say they do not believe it, the Franco-British campaign is developing according to plan, except for uncertainties arising from Russian and Italian activities.

Britain and France are hoping for peace, but they have given no indication that the price will be anything short of the end of Hitlerlsm.

V. Courteous Cops The expert salesman who advised Indianapolis police to use dignified language when making arrests has an idea that is worth study. Cops who lack originality have fal'en into a rut to a certain extent. When they say. "pull up to the curb, there, where do you think you're going?" it may be because they can't think of anything else to say.

Their query, in which they ask a speedy motorist if he is going to a fire, comes from an association of ideas. There was a time when only the fire department demonstrated speed. The proposed use of courtesy and dignity may slow police routine a bit because longer questions and responses will be involved. However, the change should be given a trial. In that event we may expect to hpar a traffic policeman say after he has waved somebody to the curb "May I inquire your destination and the reason for haste in arriving there? We' have a beautiful city, replete with interesting scenery, historic monuments and memorials.

The rate of speed at which I was forced to clock you, a moment ago, proves conclusively to my mind that you are missing some of these impressive sights." This should be sufficient hint, but if a ticket is necessary the cop can issue it with an apology and the assertion that it hurts him worse than it does the erring driver. P. H. E.

A stylishly attired social leader or business woman can be no better looking than my dream apple pie. Maybe some day I shall take from the oven the perfect pie. Then and then only shall I turn my time and attention to the classic arts. Calico, Flalnfield.

Federal Possibilities The quests for more than $1,000,000, to be used in employing matrons for the public school buildings throughout Indiana, suggests another idea.

If a federal grant could be obtained to employ professional chaperones for college and university social affairs the money might be well spent, and those hired for the Jobs would be persons who demonstrated by rigid tests that they really enjoy such assignments.

took and settled the question in a most effective way. The result is that the motorists have learned lo drive with the brakes Instead of the horn. Nowadays, if the coi ner policeman hears a horn and can see no reason for it, he immediately stops the motorist and gives him a chance to explain. If the driver can not Justify himself, the officer takes his number and tells him where to report, i It Is unbelievable that a city the size of New York can be as quiet as it is today.

QUIET PLEASE. Indianapolis. War Hunch To the Editor ot The This is a hunch, wholly a hunch and 'nothing but a hunch, videlicet: Germany will be de-Hitlerized. but It is not clear now whether it will be done by Great Britain and Franre. After that, the world will deal with Stalin.

Whether it will be pleasant and prosperous dealing, as it well might be. can not be foreseen. In the ordinary course of events, according to life's ordinary limits, I shall not be here to see much of it, and I am rather sorry for the younger generation which has what will probably be an amazing experience coming to It. Yet the future is not all dark. As it Increases in age, the younger generation learns rapidly how to take care of ltcelf, and each generation acquires greater knowledge and acquires it more rapidly.

Indianapolis. OLDSTER. Hurtful Neutrality To the Editor of The News; The dangers of the reckless peacetime spending that put this country up to its legal debt limit, and, probably, its sound money limit, should be apparent in the face of this European war. Although we shall make every effort to remain neutral, we must go to the great additional expense of preparing for a possible embroilment. There is nothing that we can now do about our financial situation except stop all unnecessary expense in the future, but there are other mistakes that should be looked into and rectified.

Most important of these is the immediate reversal of the agricultural policies, and a concentration on quantity production, otherwise our people will suffer through the world competition for food, whether the prices are allowed to rise naturally or are arbitrarily kept down. Mot manufactured products can be increased in short order because few factories are running at capacity, but it requires practically a year to produce agricultural commodities. Beef requires two years. We hope to remain legally neutral, of course, but we can scarcely expect to be mentally or wishfully neutral. Who wins this war is of prime importance to us.

Naziism in the world is worse than Kaiserism ever was. In our efforts for neutrality we should see that we do nothing to restrain the success of those who are fighting to suppress the cruel unfairness of the totalitarian nations, and to defeat the theory that might alone makes rieht. Our logical friends are they who do not try to undermine our institutions, who keep their sacred words, and who are waging thia war for right, at great disadvantage. B. C.

STEVENSON. Indianapolis. POOR RELIEF COST During the adjustment board's consideration cf the Center townahip poor relief budget. ltra, questions were ffked that reflected on the relief policies of the trustee. The board felt that hi request for $1,663,752 for poor rfbef in 1P40 wa.i excessive and cut the rate to yield only about $1,100,000.

ThU, however, does not prevent the trustee, from tpendins more and calling upon the county to oorrow the money to pay hia poor relief bills. Examination of the poor relief food costs 'In Center township aa compared with the test in the four other townships which in- of the city shows that Center's a ew TODAY In Washington By David Lawrence WASHINGTON. October 5. Regardless of how pleasant or unpleasant may be the effect on either set of belligerents, the United States government will not hesitate to transmit peace offers or otherwise advance the cause of peace. Rumors and reports from Europe that America would be Invited to sit in on any council to make peace have been discussed unofficially, but.

until a concrete proposal confronts the American government, no official comment can be made. The desire, however, to end the European war at the earliest possible moment and to persuade each side to consider an armistice runs strong in the official group. It is well recognized that Great Britain must publicly say that no peace terms can be accepted which do not provide for an attainment of objectives for which she went to war, and it is likewise understood that Germany can not publicly set forth terms which would involve a retreat. But underlying the peace talk is a frank realization that Germany does not want to keep on fighting, and that the British and French would welcome an honorable way out. The war was begun in the first instance without taking into account that the British and French would fight.

Herr Hitler felt confident he could depend on a localized war, that, as scon a.s he seized and subjugated Poland, all would be over. He may have even reasoned that, in view of the British treaty with Poland, the fonner could not avoid participation, but that, if confronted with a conquered Poland, the British might subsequently take a different view. Miscalculated Position. Herr Hitler miscalculated the British position and now wants to end the war. He is too well acquainted with British pronouncements to think that a mere restatement of his pacific aims toward the British and French would be adequate.

He knows that some form of guaranty must be forthcoming which would satisfy British and French opinion. With the entrance of Russia into the picture as guardian of a collection of lesser states, thus blocking Nazi progress to the ea-t, Herr Hitler can not be as happy now as the makeshift alliance seemed last month to indicate. That Hitler earnestly wants peace now is unquestionably true. Shall his effort be spurned just because he has made a mistake? Are the allied statesmen shrewd enough to penetrate the bluff and threat and bluster of public speeches and to realize that a prolonged war means the economic ruin of all Europe? There may have to be a good deal of swallowing of pride on each side, but loss of pride is of negligible importance if there is forthcoming a guaranty against constant recurrence of the use of force as a means altering boundaries. Maybe the statesmanship of the.

world as ready to return to collective security a family of nations instead of a balance of armed powerand maybe the German people will join such a union today In the midst of a war they can not possibly be relishing. An association of nations which does not provide for a gradual reduction of armament would be futile, but also any association of nations which did not provide for a gradual revision of territorial and economic arrangements of the past would be equally futile. Teare Key jn Washington. The key to peace is right here in Washington. If the isolationist group which is so eager to keep American boys and American families from being dragged into war would use their talents and energies to get back of plans to formulate a world peace program, the embargo issues would soon become academic- But unhappily in the past the same group which is now fightins a revision of the embargo has been opposing all effort to exert on behalf of America any tangible influence for international cooperation.

The United States may have been unsuccessful in 1915 and 1916 in endeavoring to persuade the belligerents to lay down their arms, but it ultimately turned out that America was able, as a consequence of those preliminaries, to bring about an armistice. History might repeat itself now. Certainly there is nothing to be lost for the allies to aeree to an armistice and discussion noWi each side maintaining status quo in a military and naval sense until the Issues mere thor-oughly examined. It is not unlikely that an armistice once proclaimed would lead to peace, because each government knows now that force will be used because it already has been The British and French would be making a serious mistake if they did not set forth their aims specifically and concretely and in such a manner as to provide a way out for Herr Hitler. To stop the war now is not "to surrender" in ignoble fashion, as was suggested in the British parliamentary debate thi week, because to surrender to a higher law than mankind's brutish-ness is never iznoble.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SENATE DERATE Senators Borah and Norris probably gave, in their speeches opening- the senate debate following Senator Pittman's opening statement, a 'air forecast of the gneral line of argument. Senator Borah believes that this country should stay out of all European quarrels.

His- great fight to keep the United States out of the League of Nations was to avoid the dangerous consequences of European power politics. He fought the world court on the same ground. He believes that to change the law now, when hostilities are in progress, "will not aid In the cause of pace but contribute greatly to our participation in the war." Senator Norris, whose interest in keeping this country out of European wars is proved by his vote in 191? against going to war, said in his radio broadcast that this country should sell arms and ammunition to Great Britain and France to help them defeat the dictators. He said that changing the Jaw to permit these sales would help to keep the United Staffs out of the war. He is afraid that under the present law the shipment of goods, including; war supplies, through sea combat areas-will result in the loss of American lives and ships.

This, he argued, will incite the people to war. The seriousness of the senate's deliberations was emphasized by Senator Pittman, who said: "In my opinion this is the most Important legislation that has ever been proposed to congress or ever enacted into law for the purpose of keeping us out of a European war." The leaders of both sides "maintain that their first purpose is. to keep the country out of the war. They differ In method, not in purpose. But they differ so widely that they have convinced many citizens that there must be so much merit on both sides as to suggest a momentary suspension of Judgment.

ship's food cost, and In some Instances Is mor than double the food cost of other tenships. The fact that the average monthly outlay for ffod fr each person on relief Center towmhlp this year is $3.91, rbtie In Warren township it is $1.90 explains the adjustment board felt that it nad to reduce the Center township poor relief rate. Tlie'cot In Center township is even higher fcr the tame items than in the Lake county where relief costs were the of grand Jury investigation. There has ben no showing that the food allowance In Center townfhip is more generous then in other townships. Since retail food prices are substantially the saroe In all parts of the city, the Center township ex-, pendlturas can not be explained on the ground of price variations.

The figures leave a question In the public mind which should be answered by an offl-cisl investigation. It is the right of the people to know whether poor relief tax money Is being wasted at the expense of those on relief. Revising the Question To the Editor of The News: I believe that well over half of those voting on the neutrality law do not even know or understand our present operating law. Therefore they do not know that our present so-called 'neutrality" Jaw is no such thing as neutral in fact. Our present law is vicious, inhumane, unjust and unprofitable.

Under our present law we may sell and ship to Russia, Italy, Japan and others, materials for war, but we may not do so for France, England. Canada, Germany, yet the first three countries are and have been at war. Instead of "I favor the present neutrality law," as against the counter question. "I favor sale of munitions to combatants (cash-and-carry it would be better to phrase the question: "I favor our present law which allows sales of munitions to countries fighting without havine declared war formally."

Indianapolis. News Reader, City The requested poem follows: WISHINO Do you wish the world were better? Let me tell you what to do. Set a upon your actions, Keep them always straight and true. Rid your mind of selfish motives. Let your thoughts be clean and high.

You can make a little Eden Of the sphere you occupy. Do you wish the world were wiser? Well, suppose ou make a start, By accumulating wisdom In the scrapbook of your heart; Do not waste one page on folly; Live to learn, and learn to live. If you want to give men knowledge, You must get It, ere you give. Do you wish the world were happy? Then remember day by day Just to scatter seeds of kindness As you pass along the way. For the pleasures of the many May be ofttimes traced to one.

As the hand that plants an acorn Shelters armies from the sun. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Long Time Render, City What is meant when it is said that one Is In a "brown Please discus. "Brown study" means a state of reverie, deep contemplation, preoccupation, absent-mindedness, abstract meditation or idle and purposeless musing. It probably was suggested by "brown" in the sense of serious or gloomy, a sense which haa been forgotten to a great extent.

There are numerous phrases which colors and shades are employed to designate temper or a state of feeling; as. blue devils, black melancholy, grren-eyed monster, yellow stockings, blue stock ings, white feather, yellcvor streak, dark forebodings and black One authority suggests that "brown study" may be a version of Old French "embronc," meaning bent and referring to the head bowed down as In deep thought. French and Provencal "embron," meaning thoughtful, was In all probability confounded with "embrunl" (em browned, darkened, obscured). Although the phrase is undoubtedly of greater antiquity, the earliest known record of its use occurs In the following quotation from "Manifest Detection of the Use of Dice, published in 1532: "Lack company will soon lead a man int a brow'n study." Little can can be said in favor of the theory that "brown study" is merely a corruption of "brow study." News Reader. City Does Indianapolis have a booking agency for radio talent?

They are satisfied with his service as athletic director and glad that he signed a contract, to retain the post for three more years. Hinkle has been at Butler for eighteen years. He is one of the most versatile athletes and coaches in the country. Under his guidance, Butler has won national and state honors in basketball and five consecutive championships in the Indiana collegiate football conference. He has become a valuable community asset, also, hence there is general satisfaction over his decision to remain at Butler.

INDIANA VIEWS AW RADIO RULES When the code committee of the National Association of Broadcasters issued its rules following its July convention, there was much speculation on the possibility of federal communications commission pressure end probable protest against seeming infringements of the right of free speech. The committee has now gone a step farther with its restrictions, It has ruled that no broadcasting station shall accept pay for the us of the station to broadcast a speech en a controversial public J.vsue "unless the spokesmen appear on a public forum type ef broadcast regularly presented In conformity with the rode as a series of fair-sided cliscusslons of public issues." Speeches must submitted to the station for approval or rejection, and the station is to be the sole judge of whether they can be broadcast. It will be noted that the rule does not stop a station or network from giving time for E.uch speeches. Tills opens the stations to political speakers, but, of course, under the FCC rule that the same amount of time must be given, on request, to speakers who wish to reply or to expound the other side cf the question. Since the broadcasters are responsible for what they allow to be broadcast, they must have protective regulations.

Good business methods compel them to respect public taste and avoid the risk of libel. But it is not clear hew far they can go. They are feeling their way in a new field. In time the courts will help them to set up a workable and lawful code. Peace and Happiness To the Editor of The New: I am a mother with eight children.

Some of them would be eligible if we should have war. I'm for our country 100 per cent. But why put our boys up for targets? The Bible says, "Thou shalt not kill." I think in these times is the Bible being fulfilled, and we can't send ammunition to' shoot down men and be a Christian nation. We will see darker times and it will take real Christians to stand the test. We've got to be on Christ's side or the devil's.

If we are on Christ's side, He will be with us. It doen't look very well to send missionaries to preach to China or any of those countries, then ship shells over for them to be killed. I'm praying for a day of peace and happiness. I can't se why educated men can't see. MRS DUARD JOHNSON.

Wayne Journal-Garotte An agent of Soviet Russia says he paid large sums to prominent politicians during the time when he was trying to arrange American exports to Russia. Regardless of whether these men were Republicans or Democrats, they have a lot of explaining to, do unless the Russian agents statement is made out of whole cloth. For no American worthy of the name should ever act as a political agent, offieta' or unofficial, for a foreign government and this goes particularly for Americans in political "life.

During recent months newspapers have properly emphasized the tie-up between Fascist leaders in this country and Fascists abroad, between Fascist propaganda here and Fascist propaganda there. There has been too little emphasis on the tie-up between Communists in thi5 country and Communists in Russia the economic tie-up as well as the political.

We want no foreign money spent here for propaganda or allied purposes. We want no sabotage, no spying, no Americans who are better Russians or Englishmen or Germans than they are Americans.

Each one of us may sympathize more with some one foreicn country than we do with other foreign countries, but it is vital for us to remember that we are Americans first. at and all the time.
