Hoosier Vagabond

SAN FRANCISCO—The thing I like best and fear most about my job is that we never seem to get anywhere on time. Although we have no home we do call Washington, D. C., our headquarters. The last time we were there, I still had a desk in our office. The vacant desk, you might call it. But I doubt that it's still there any more. I haven't seen my boss for two years. Once in a while he writes and wants to know when we're coming back. We had promised faithfully to be there by last May. But here it is September, and we're farther away than ever. The ultimate of this, very likely, will be no desk, no boss, no job—and then, finally, no place to go and nothing to go with. Then we will settle down somewhere and dig clams. Now here's a man who is just the opposite. Do you remember the postman-on-a-holiday I wrote about from Costa Rica last winter? He was John Stahl, a 57-year-old retired postoffice clerk from San Francisco, and he was walking from Panama to Texas. He left Panama on Nov. 14, and had actually made it—all alone, through the jungles and mountains—as far as San Jose when our paths crossed there in midJanuary. He figured that if his health held up and the snakes didn’t get him, he could make it to Austin, Tex., by this coming November. Well, he's in Austin now. Has been for nearly a month. I've just had a postcard from him, saying he there on Aug. 5, at least three months ahead of his schedule. Maybe I should take to walking more. Mavbe that's whole trouble.

Other postcards have been rolling in from “Six Girls on a Vacation.” I don’t know who they are, but they're from Miami and going to California by bus, Just for fun, Their first card, from Mobile, said they had decided to “out-postcard” me and told me to look for more. The last one, from Los Angeles, says, “The Six Girls are having a wonderful time.”

Inside Indianapolis (4nd “Our Town”)

THE MOST POPULAR attraction at the State Fair is the Conservation Department's miniature zoo. Which, naturally, brings up our dream of a permanent zoo for Indianapolis. It, therefore, gives us great pleasure (as the speakers say) to let you in on the fact that we've been promised a real elephant by one of the big Indianapolis firms if we do get a zoo started. The State Conservation Department has already expressed its willingness to donate all surplus animals and the truth is we could have a small zoo in no time if the City woud make any kind of advance toward it. One place it could be located would be in Riverside Park. A small section could be staked off and with a small investment the quarters provided for the animals. The Conservation Department is ready time to provide all the expert advice needed.

It'll Pay Its Own Way— Our zoo ought to be self-sustaining. At a nickel admission, it would grow rapidlv. Tt ought to be straight five cents with a couple of free days thrown in for the voungsters whose families can't afford even the nickel.

Washington

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—Commenting bitterly on destroyer trade with Great Britain, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says “We all may as well get ready for a full-dress participation in the European war.” A more realistic tip would be to watch the Pacific. Nevertheless, so many people {ind it impossible to see the line between aiding Britain and going to war for her that a fatalistic assumption is growing that we will be in it. From an increasing number of persons is heard the opinion that if Mr. Roosevelt 1s re-elected he will take us in. If enough people adopt that fatalistic assumption the thing is liable to happen. Thinking may make it so. This is the time, therefore, when it is important to dissent vigorously and with sound reasons from this desperate fatalism that is sneaking up behind us, whispering to us that it is in the cards for us to go in, that nothing can stop it, that war will make us strong, that it is our destiny. We have hypnotized ourselves into biunders in the past but it would be the supreme blunder of all to talk ourselves into the European war on the basis of anything now in sight or in prospect.

England Given Real Chance

England is offering surprisingly strong resistance. Informed authorities here now believe she has a real chance of holding out against the present attack. She has been able to resist partly because of airplanes and army equipment which we have supplied. The importance to us of British survival is sufficient to warrant the furnishing of as much equipment as we can safely spare. Suppose we did enter the war, what then? Supplies now going to England and vital to her survival would have to be held for our own use Send our Navy over? That would mean stripping the Pacific—the last thing that England wants. Japan was an ally in the last war. Now she is a potential

I can't help but take it as a personal affront that they didn’t add, “Wish you were here.” Three years ago I met a lady from Ohio, going down the Yukon River on a steamboat. A few months later I met the same lady on the Island of Paia, way out in Hawaii. She is a teacher, and she does get around. Since I last saw her, she has gone around the world on a freighter, and now she has just arrived in Hawaii again. A letter has just come from her, written on a British boat somewhere in the Pacific. It says: “This is the most interesting trip I've ever made, and that’s saying a lot. “All the lights went out as soon as we sailed, and the ship is blacked out from sunset to sunrise. It gives vou an eerie feeling to walk about with only a pale blue light here and there. Boat drill is rigid. Plenty of reminders that a war is going on. “Most everyone is a refugee from England, or some other part of Europe. There is an interesting couple who lost their home in France, and now their home in England. They must have had lots of money once. They lived six weeks in Canada on less than $1.50 a day. “At another table are five Poles, a mother and her children. They fled to Russia just ahead of the invasion and are now on their way to Australia. They spend most of their time learning English. No one seems to be down and out.”

Times Special Writer VY ASHINGTON, Sept. 5. —Alaska is a double prize for the invader. It is the conveniently unguarded gateway to the United States.

It seems that Bowman Elder drove up | to the school the other day and parked alongside some other machines. He went inside. The young man in question came out and cast a knowing eye at the shining license plate with the No. 10 on it. He grinned, walked over to another car, unbuckled from it a “We Want Willkie” sign and attached it| right over the No. 10. A few minutes later out came Mr. Elder and went breezing off. the Willkie sign bearhing above the magic nuntbers. The boy doesn't know if Mr. Elder knows it yet or not.

way. Work has begun on the new Army and Navy bases in Alaska, but two years probably will be required to complete these bases. The unusual military factors in Algska, which would largely determine victory for the invader or the defender, are vividly described in the special study made by Dr. Vilhjalmur Stefansson for the War Department. Our northern country,” he said, “is particularly susceptible to invasion by mechanized armies. . .. Where the subsoil is frozen . . , and where, by the way, vou can have excellent crops . . . there vou have no underground drainage. Where the country is flat or rolling, 60 per cent is covered with lakes. And many of these lakes are connected by sluggish streams. on nn on “UN the summertime a mechanized army can make no progress across that terrain because of the swamp and mud between the lakes. But when the freeze-up comes, then every lake is as hard and level as an airplane landing field. “When the ice is 10 inches thick, which will occur within three weeks of the freeze-up, the ice on all these lakes and streams will support the heaviest mechanized artillery. . . . “The invasion would start presumably just before the freeze-up, as a surprise invasion. Large numbers of troops could be landed in Alaska before we could do anything about it; and by the time we tried to do anything about it, the freeze-up would have come

No Place for Us in War

The only hope then of anything aside from a long! stalemate would be that, defeated in his attempt to invade England, Hitler's prestige might begin to crumble and the peoples in the nine countries he has conquered might begin to stir again, driven as they most certainiy will be by extreme hunger and hardship this winter. Through some such internal crumbling process it might be possible to bring Hitler to terms with England retaining command of the seas. In none of this is there any place for us as a nation at war. These new bases tremendously strengthen our defer.se and make less likely than ever any armed attack by Hitler. Our warfare with him is now more certain than ever to be economic warfare. Economic warfare requires strong naval and air force behind it. Britain has promised that Hitler will never get the British fleet. Assuming the worst, therefore, we would have such a head start over Hitler in sea power that he could never catch up if we applied our large capacity to strong defense. Will reason control us? Reason savs we need (0 make ourselves strong. Reason savs British survival is importar to us. But reason also says that the ends we seek would not be fostered by our into the war in Europe.
