B.C., TH UR SDAY, JULY 25th, 1940 No. 15 HITLER ANB ROOSEVELT SWIMMING COMMUNICATION - COUNCIL NOTES The difference between the two speeches delivered by Mitipr and Roosevelt last week was the difference between the Hvn men The first a tissue of lies, which did not even possess he dubious merit of being specious, but were ra ther an insult In intelligence ;the second the sincere words of an honest huraanSrian face to face with issues of grave import to the ntion of which he has the honor to be president and which U ce is honored by His pi^sidency. ' " ^ ' ; ' It were almost be tter if the peoples of the democracies fiid not waste their time in readingf the German" dictator's qheeches or listening to his words over the radio. For they are always the same in the ir im pudent-perversion of history, blatant braggadacio, and th rea ts of the dire evils to be visited bv him and his little coterie of gangsters on all who dispute the right of Germany to enslave the world. In .any case his ' diatribes are addressed almost entirely to his own people in order to keep up th e ir .morale, always a- necessity in dealing with Germans owing to their inferiority complex and tendency tb wilt unless everything is coming the ir way. It .is true they have made very , large territorial gains, but we do not know at what cost in-m en and material. However rdyadihg ■ between the lines, one is safe, in assuming the German losses have been colossal, which w ith the nightly bombing 9f . th e R A.F. must have severely shaken the confidence of the civilian , population. Moreover ,a dictator like Hitler, knowing nothing of mercy and hating B ritain and everything British, would scarcely put out peace feelers unless he himself was doubtful whether the British Islestcoiild be successfully attacked. He has struck a stone wall a t last in his progress -which he cannot , climb,'nor is much to be gained by continuing to throw stones over it, particularly as those on the other side, are beginning to throw them back a^ him in increasing numbers. The speech of President Roosevelt, on the o ther hand, had s i n c e r i t y stamped on. every word of ii, and even his political opponents ought to be convinced that, when -he stated he had no desire for a third term , as president, he was speaking the literal truth. I t is. ho easy offi'oe,,,and' in, the next few. years is certain to become very onerous indeed. The dictum "uneasy lies the head which wears a crown!' does not only apply to kings. Like Washington who once ref u sed ,an offer to become' . king of the United State^^pn^iihe .scpb,th# ,,it; v^ould^^ ̂ the President has" ho desire Tor'Ijeredita'ry office. But he does feel that withT;h~e'present immiheht .dangers to the peace and prosperity of his nation, he would hot be consistent in refus- , ing office when he is asking others to make personal sacrifices for the good of their country.- •_ ' . . And therein lies , a lesson, which we who Jive in a free democracy are apt to forget. I t is futilp to deny the efficiency of the "totalitarian s ta te in war, where each man, reg;ardless of his likes or dislikes or views is forced a t i^ ril of his freer dom or possibly life t.6 do-his sharp toward.g victory.
