This time, more so than ordinarily, it will be important that we end this internal civil war.

Unless we do, the nation will be partially paralyzed and will find itself unable because of internal differences to do the things that will need to be done to achieve prompt defense, just as France was paralyzed by internal division. This is more important than any other immediate consideration. It does not matter so much who is selected as it does that the nation accept the verdict of the majority, abide by the decision of the umpire, which is the electorate, and play In the game so that it can go go on. Willkie began this campaign with a contribution to national unity by defying some of his own Republican leaders and endorsing the administration's underlying attitude toward foreign affairs. He threw away a chance to demagog on the subject of foreign affairs and thereby saved the country from a devastating experience.

Willkie's contribution was not entirely reciprocated, because from the 'it I i the other night by Alf M. Landon. It was this: "First, I want to say to the dictators who are offering us alternate threats and bribes, that they are making a very grave error if they mistake the rivalry of a political campaign for disunity of the United States. "We Americans do not conduct our political affairs with that attitude. As soon as the election is over, Democrats as well as Republicans will rally in the nation's interests to the support of the President of the United States.

This vital and dominant attitude in American political life will not be changed by the bitterness of this campaign. "Whoever is elected will be my President for the next four years." I take these words seriously because Landon by his own example after his defeat in 1936 has already lived them. Time and again he upheld the administration in questions involving foreign affairs. He threw his not inconsiderable weight toward killing the Ludlow amendment ofr a referendum on war' when Republicans were trying to make it a demagogic issue. He went to the Lima conference as a member of the American delegation and by his presence helped to impress upon Latin America the reality of our underlying unity.

S. policy toward Japan was caused by many things. Not least important of these was the part played by a quiet, canny career diplomat in the State Department, Dr. Stanley K. Hornbeck, who bears the title of adviser on political relations.

Ever since the "China incident" began three years ago, Dr. Hornbeck has advocated a sterner attitude toward Japan. For a long time he stood pretty much alone. Undersecretary Sumner Welles leaned in the other direction, as did Maxwell Hamilton, chief of the division of Far Eastern affairs. So did the U.

S. embassy in Tokio, headed by famed Ambassador Joseph Grew. It has long been a tradition that U. S. diplomats in the orient like to have the home government talk tough now and then but not too tough.

After an outburst of tough talk, the diplomat can sit down with the Asiatics and say: "Look, they're kind of getting out of hand in Washington; you'd better make a concession on this or that, or I won't be able to hold them." It was this tradition Dr. Hornbeck has contended with for three years. Ambassador Grew followed it pretty consistently, and had a good deal to do with inducing the administration to modify its project for applying economic sanctions backed by a threat of military force when the "incident" began. Secretary Hull occupied a middle ground. Often enough in the last three years the Japanese have provoked a mighty flare-up of his tough Tennessee temper accompanied, not infrequently by some virile and salty language but native caution and a determination not to get out into a position the American public wasn't ready to support always had their effect.

Signing of the tri-power axis pact brought a big change. The differences of opinion didn't vanish overnight, but they did shrink awfully fast. The shrinkage caused Dr. Hornbeck to stand out more and more prominently as the man who had had the idea all along. Veteran In State Department Point to remember is that the State Department's division of Far Eastern affairs is generally admitted to be its ablest and best-informed branch.

For years this division has been helping to shape American policy in the Far East, backed by a thorough knowledge of oriental conditions and peoples and exact information on what has been going on out there. Dr. Hornbeck was in charge of this division from 1928 to 1937, when he was elevated to his present job. He is one of those State Department experts who hold important posts but of whom the public seldom hears. He first went out to China in 1909 to teach in various Chinese government schools and stayed in the orient for four years.

He came to the State Department in the early twenties, after having served both the peace commission and the American delegation to the Washington arms conference as a special expert on Far Eastern affairs. At the end of the speech Dr. Hornbeck clicked his radio off, heaved a sigh, and remarked: "Well 'he who sups with the devil must needs use a long spoon'." Good EVENING By W. L. Ingersoll air is full of suspicion, of anxiety and of wondering doubts.

Bank Advertises Church When a bank buys newspaper space to advertise for a church that is something. When the Berwick National Bank, Berwick, inserted such an advertisement in the local newspaper, therefore, it became good advertising for both the bank and the city. It told the world that Berwick places a fiscal value on the presence of churches in its community.

It was not surprising, in the light of this deduction, to read the following explanation for the Berwick bank's rather unusual departure from the normal run of advertising copy: "Why does a bank endorse a 'back to church' movement? "Simply because a bank is affected by the kind of a town in which it is located. The better the town, the better the bank. "Would you want to live in a town without churches? "Would you want to live in a town where people, at heart, were not religious? "Would you want to raise your children in a town without religious influence predominant? "Assuming that you would not desire to live or raise your family in such a town, then, the churches can only exist and function properly with their best influence, if they have your support. Financially, if possible, but at least the support of your presence and aid in church programs. "It is because we all need to be reminded occasionally of our duty to these organizations from which we, as citizens, ily endorse the movement which calls for a return to the first principles of good living and citizenship." This common sense is reminiscent of Roger Babson's observation made some little time ago under important auspices: "The need of the hour is not more money, more real estate, or more stocks and bonds, but more self-control, more unselfishness, more faith and more courage.

Self-control, unselfishness, faith and courage are spiritual qualities which can not be secured from bankers or stores, but only from vital religion." had passed into their hands by the final quarter of the twelfth century, Five of them carried forward im-I portant campaigns of construction, Baldwin sponsored work begun in 1189, Boniface an effort started in glossary of military values about camp: Four silver stars General of the Armies, Chief of Staff of the United States Army.

Shoe Polishing Simplified By Newly Patented Gadget An invention that may take its place along w.th the can opener, the button hook, the zipper and many other little devices that have made man's life easier has been patented by Drew Morris, a university student. The gadget solves the problem which most people encounter when they try to polish white shoes keeping the liquid from getting on the hands "nd keeping the white polish off the brown or black edge of the sole and heel. The device is simple, one of those things which seem obvious.

There are two parts, one sponge and one metal. The metal serves as a handle for the sponge, thus eliminating one problem, and there is a strip of metal on the bottom side of the sponge to prevent the polish from getting on the sole or heel. The rellnlnso snnnfffl has sham corners, so that it can be easily manipulated along black-white boundary lines. Morris got his idea about four years ago when he was a junior in high school.

Ministers of the gospel asked the question, Sunday, over and over again, "Why does not God strike Hitler dead?" The Fuehrer boasted to Schusnig that if it served his purpose, he would not hesitate to send 2,000,000 of Germany's fine young men to their death.

Why did not Divine Authority strike him on the spot? Well, the answer seems to be that before God all men are sinners, and if this were done by the overruling Authority of the universe, there probably would be no human life left on earth. To those who would have God destroy Hitler, the thought rests lightly that blasphemy, profanity, and a hundred other sins against the Ruler of time and eternity are just as heinous as the sins of Hitler. There is no doubt but that Hitler's sin will result in disaster just as all other sin, unwitting or otherwise, will be punished.
