Hoosier Vagabond

GRANITE PARK CHALET, Glacier Park, Mont. Aug. 28. —The first day of the long walk from the U. 8. into Canada has been accomplished. It was easy. I feel fine.

Perhaps my superb physical condition at the end of this first day can be accounted ' a N a» i

, for by a small tactical maneuver on my part at the beginning of \ the journey. It was quite simple. NLS I don't know why more hikers N take advantage of it. I us the first nine miles Rs That left only eight miles the 3 first day. Unfortunately those : eight miles do not parallel the highway through the Parg, so there was no way to get here except to walk. The bus from Sun Chalet to the top of Logan Pass was full of Pasterners making one of those “circle tours.” They were just being driven through the Park, and would then reboard their train and go on to the Coast. The man sitting next to me asked where I was going. and I told him that I was just starting out to walk to Canada. He seemed very much impressed. He must have told the other passengers after I got off. For some 10 minutes later, when I was well on the trail and hundreds of feet above the highway the bus came along below me. And every passenger in that open-topped bus stood up and waved and waved at the little figure way up there on the trail—the brave little figure on his way to Canada.

About an hour after starting I met a man in green slacks and a woman with a handkerchief around her head. ‘We exchanged curt hellos in passing, and neither party hesitated. Those were the only human beings I saw all day. But the mountains were full of woodchucks and gophers and, as I climbed higher, of marmots. The

It Seems to Me

NEW YORK, Aug. 29 —In the light of world developments it will be well for the Dies committee to get down to cases. The extent, the source and the nature of Nazi propaganda now become matters of vital national importance. Not even the most indulgent can longer be patient with a group of Congressmen who seem chiefly intent upon providing photographic models for front-page tabloid pictures. Naturally, I have particular reference to the over-voluminous testimony which was permitted to a young lady who told of passes made at her while camping with the Bund. I am quite ready to agree with the gentleman from Orange, Tex. that such a condition is deplorable. I am quite sure that neither Mr. Dies nor myseif would be guilty of such conduct. I am not dismissing the gravity and the importance of the pitfalls which lie in the path of the young. Nor would I have Federal agencies turn their back upon these things They might even enlist state aid. I think it would be a good idea to have Gdévernor Dickinson appointed as a committee of one to look into the matter under the injunction that he should report back to the Sunday papers as soon as possible, =

Let's Stop Chasing Rabbits

However, I cannot see just how the subject falls within the scope of the work laid out for the Dies committee. Any attempt to overcome the proper scruples of virtue which should obtain in the case of every member of the Ladies’ Auxiliary is noxious. But it is something else than a Fascist plot to overcome the Government of the United States.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—Hard common sense, supported by centuries of history, justifies Great Britain and France in their determined stand behind Poland in resisting Hitler's demands. If Hitler were given what he wants this time, it would settle nothing. Time and again Poland has been terrorized, massacred, carved up and occupied by the great powers. For more than a century the name of Poland was wiped from the map. Through it all the Poles have resisted fiercely, for whether they had a country or not, they fought, refused to accept their conquerors, revolted, and were a daily torment to their powerful oppressors. Such national vitality is not to be extinguished, even by a Hitler. Wisely, Great Britain and France refuse to ocontribute to a new crime against Poland that would only create new trouble for the future.

Even back in the 16th Century, Poland was fighting to hold Danzig as an outlet to the sea, vital to er life. From the first time Poland appears in the pages of history, a thousand years ago. it has been a battleground for European power politics, always a problem because the great conquerors would not let her alone. For centuries Poland has been overrun by Russians and Prussians, by Austria, and even by smaller neighbors, often defeated but never licked.

” = = Kosciuszko Led Revolt

Hitler threatens to administer to Poland a “fourth and final partition.” The first partition came about 170 years ago when Frederick the Great, alarmed at Russia's growing power, sought to stabilize the situation at the expense of Poland. He threw a military force around what he wanted of Poland on the pre-

My Day

HYDE PARK, Monday —It seems as though we had seen quite a number of young people these past few days. Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Williams brought their four sons, and Mr. and Mrs. Mark McCloskey

brought their three daughters for a picnic. The young people exercised most of the time that they were here. When they were not exercising they were eating! Action is the natural outlet for youth and the rest of us may like to be active for short periods of time, but only the really young want to feel themselves in action practically all their waking moments. This was emphasized yesterday when we had three young people with us who were playing games or eating, when they were not in the pool. I have just been sent a book: “Glamour and How To Achieve It” by Sali Lobel, which purports to tell vou how to be glamorous and make your home so. I am sure it is a very important book, but I haven't had time to go through much of it. I did, however, discover that one of the things one must not do is to lie in bed in the morning after waking up. If you t

squeak and whistle of the gophers and marmots was almost constant. The morning was warm. It was pleasant walking. Glacier is my favorite of all national parks. With the exception of Carisbad Caverns, I wouldnt trade one square mile of Glacier for all the other parks put together. It is majestic. The terrifically vast valleys that you look down into, and the unbelievably great peaks and ridges rising above you, and the hidden passes, and the surprising banks of snow, and the incongruous meadows on the high flats, and the tumbling white streams, and the flowers and the silent little lakes around a bend—it is an isolation and a calm majesty that makes Glacier Park to me not just a place, but an actual personality. = = »

A Pleasant Surprise

Today's trail between Logan Pass and Granite Park Chalet was an easy cne. Only once or twice did I have to stop and blow. Once, at the top of a pass. the trail disappeared, and there was nothing ahead but a flat acre or two of dirty snow. It was melting a little on tep, and the snow crunched moistiy as I walked across, and my feet got cold and damp. It was 1:30 when I came around a bend and there, sitting on a stuck-out point far across a wide valley. was the Chalet where I would spend the night. I figured it was still an hour and a half to the Chalet, so I ate lunch beside a little mountain stream. The flies were terrible. Common flies, and little jumping gnat-like flies, and the spotted brown deer flies. They were outrageously persistent. By the time I had finished lunch my hands and ankles were covered with little white welts. During the last hour it grew colder and the wind blew harder. When finally I pulled up to Granite Park Chalet, it was downright cold. I opened the Chalet door and walked in. And could have fallen over dead. For here, way out here vastly removed from the stream of things in general, was one of the prettiest girls I ever saw. She works here. I learned later that she can walk twice as far in a

day as I can. Yet she made me feel that I had ac-|

By Heywood Broun

In all seriousness, Mr. Dies and his associates should attend to their knitting or make way for those who can. The situation abroad heightens the dangers at home. Hitler's diplomatic triumph has loosed tongues and brought out palpable Fascist tendencies in many Americans. It is the plain duty of Dies to see

that these groups and individuals are counted. It is an essential part of the record to search into the activities of the Silver Shirts and other organizations of that sort. But these can hardly be the big game.

Then Prussia, Austria and Russia divided up the spoils—taking among them about a quarter of Poland's territory and a fifth of her population. Even this did not satisfy the powers.

Invitation to Trouble

Throughout that century of national extinction. Polish patriots fled the country in many instances, to organize Polish legions, to fight under numerous flags in the hope eventually of finding a protector who would assist in liberating them. At home they engaged in constant uprisings. During the World War, hope of national restoration grew and agitation among Poles in the United | States was a powerful influence, for it led Woodrow Wilson, even before the United States entered the war, to call for the re-creation of a united Poland. He made it one of his 14 points—insisting also upon an outlet to the sea and international guarantee of independence and territorial integrity. The Allies found it expedient to adopt this war aim. If Hitler carves up Poland now, he will be doing what has been done before, but never successfully. Peace in Europe today at Poland's expense will bring no peace, but only more trouble.

It may bore them a little, but it will be good education. “Fires of Valley Forge” by Harold Harper, will emphasize Revolutionary history. Just at the present time, the most valuable play is: “A Salute to the Fourth” by Elizabeth McFadden. The children will realize that intolerance is nothing new and that 100 per cent Americans, who are that and nothing else, have heen with us for a long while.
