Portrait of a Quoddy Boy: He's
A Reliefer's Son, He's Tramp, but His Fiber's
UODDY VILLAGE, Me., Sept. 26.—One of the many things at which T am not | particularly adept is suddenly shaving 15 | years off my life and becoming a boy again. Youngsters frighten me. 1 picture them as making fun of ‘me in the backs ‘of their heads. So you can see TI would be afraid of the 400 boys who make up ‘the Quoddy Work Experience Project. But since T pretend to be a reporter, there was nothing to do but ‘grit my ‘teeth and start down the street. Two boys were standing in ‘the street. They had big 'pasteboard boxes 'tinder their arms. They looked 'up when 1 stopped. I got out that T'd like to look around the dormitories if anybody would show ‘me. The ‘boys said sure, come with them. So around we went, into ‘dozens of apartments, while they delivered laundry. And when 'that was 'finished they took 'me up 'to show 'me their ‘own apartment. Other boys ‘drifted in. ‘The ‘boys Were so friendly ‘and natural ‘that ‘my self-conscious-ness disappeared. It ‘is ‘even possible T may ‘have posed a little, as ‘a ‘man ‘of the world. Finally T said T'd like to ‘take ‘ore ‘of them as a specific example, and write scmething about ‘him. ‘All were willing, and the ‘boys ‘discussed which one it should be. Finally we settled ‘on Tous Cutway. So Louis is ‘my ‘typical “Junior Worker.” He isn't teachers ‘choice nor ‘prime Exhibit-A ‘of the project. He's just a ‘needle ‘out ‘of a haystack. Here he is. Louis 'Cutway is from Buffalo. He is 22. He went through ‘one yedr ‘of high ‘school. He is 5 feet 5 inches ‘and ‘weighs 135 'potinds. ‘He ‘is ‘not handsome in a Junior ‘prom way, 'but he has a good face. smokes, ‘but T ‘didn’t hear him ‘swear. ‘His © is a ‘carpenter, ‘but carpentering has been slow Buffalo ana Touis’ father is ‘on relief. ‘Tous 2 t’s ‘no ‘disgrace.

Washington By Raymond Clapper
Calling Hitler an International Gangster All Right With Hitler, Impervious to All Public Opinion,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—We in Amer ica, and people of many other lands, have grown up with unquestioning belief that in the long run public opinion would prevail, that world opinion was, in the end, the mightiest of all weapons. That belief, which has been so completely accepted that modern politics and diplomacy have been quite generally controlled hy it, has received a severe shock. Herr Hitler believes ho such thing. In his complete indifference to ‘world opinion, to what people think, to what history will say, we ate ‘seeing something new and baffling ‘to ‘the modern world Even ‘the Kaiser's Government, during the World War, went to great lengths to justify itself 'before world opinion. Tts acts were ruthless but always the German Government tried to Convince the rest of ‘the world that it was justified. Even when ‘the Lusitania was Mr. Clapper submatined, the Germans tried desperately to justify it by insisting ‘that this ship was a munitions car rier and not entitled to immunity. However bad their case, at Jeast they ‘tried to argue it and to convince the world that they were mot as bad as might be thought. Herr Hitler wastes ho time on such diversions, What ihe Test of ‘the world thinks of his actions ap= parently does mot enter into his calculations in any respect. Thioughout its expansion in the Par East, Japan has kept a Foivigh Office Spokesman ‘busy apologizing to ‘the rest of the world and explaining that all of this regrettable business hurt Japan mote than China. They Were So Sorty, excuse it please Herr Hitler, on the contrary, seems impervious to outside opinion. Thside Germany, he makes his OWL public opinion. Outside Germany, public opinion can think what it pleases. That is no Concern of Heir Hitler's. Tf the test of the World iis outraved by his strong-arming of Czechoslovakia, that is too bad for the dest of the world. Herr Hitler is busy with what he wants to do, not with what others may think of lit, Prime Wiihister Chamberlain, it is explained, is building a iecord which he expects will convince the world that Britain sought hy every means to preserve peace. Herr Hitler must regard that as a waste of tine. He will take What victories he can and see that German history gives him full credit; as for other histoties, they ate not in his world.
