DAILY EDITION Monday. December 18, 1939. IGNOMINIOUS END The sinkinir of the pocket battleship Graf Sps 4? .50 3D0 9.00 02 .25) was an ignominious end for a vessel that was the pride of a country boasting: of its superior ancestry and aiming to rule the world. The Germans will never rule the waves in that way. As an American commentator said yesterday, the British would have made a dash for liberty and, before be-! ing sunk, would have done at least a little damage to tnejAn AVTHTA enemy. Had he attacked one of the smaller enemy ships' VlvUIl 1 U he might have sunk her or at least done considerable damage. There are contradictory reports as to the condition of the German guns. Much depended upon it as to the course of action to be taken. It is said that Hitler ordered the scuttling of the ship in order to prevent further loss of life but when did Hitler ever show any solicitude for the loss of life, either German . or any other nationality? Possibly . : : it. i -ai i t COMPLIMENT TO GERMAN COMMANDER , in his treatment of the war prisoners he had taken, the commander of the Graf Spee showed himself to be a pretty good sort. Later on reaching Montevideo he gave credit to the British for their excellent markmanship and strategy. These are two traits which are in his favor. He have knew conditions on the Graf Spee better than we do, so we must give him credit for using his best judgment, even if it does seem diffferent from what a British commander would have done. It has been the British method to turn what looked like sure defeat into victory or die in the attempt That has been the secret of the Empire's DOUBLE-CROSSERS Europe seems to be a hotbed for double-crossers: Leaders among these are Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. Neither ofthese men can trust the other and that is reasonable. We wonder that they can even trust themselves considering their career of lying and deceit. While Ger many is fighting against Great Britain and France she has to keep one eye on Russia for fear she may take more than ner snare of the spoils. Russia, too, is constantly watch ing Germany in no very friendly manner. It is not s pleasant combination. PINK-GENTRY One of the most interesting paragraphs appearing in the press of late is from the pen of that interesting writer Bruce Hutchison. He says: "The conscientious pink gentry still in our midst are having a prettv bad time. They could explain everything in the conduct of Comrade J oe but his rape of Finland. Even your loyal Communist has to admit that this is pretty raw and I think it safe to assume that the World Revolution in Victoria is now at an end. You can safely buy a new car. "Byt.you must not feel contemptuous of the pink brethren. They have been no more wrong m their calcula tions than anybody else. It is merely that their dream has blown up in a more spectacular fashion than ours. We have all been just as wrong as the comrades in all our ma jor expectations but we put a better face on it and we denv n 10 ine lasu "I am ";oing to organize, as soon as the rush of Christ mas is over, a Grand Confession.
