At that time General Weygand’s
army, cooperating with the British
in Egypt, could have applied the
pinchers on the Italians, squeezed
them out of Libya in no time.
But Admiral Leahy’s suggestion
was not seriously considered. Politi-
cal sentiment in the United States,
he was told, never would stand for
it, and besides the United States
was not prepared.
Today, the German-Italian armis-
border two-thirds surrounded by
Germany. North, south and west
of General Weygand’s airplanes,
blown up his forts, disarmed his
men, taken away his artillery. And
what is left of the French army in
North Africa, tired of waiting for
the United States and Britain, has
thrcwn in its lot with Hitler.
Hitler’s Encircling Embrace
The way Hitler has conquered
the most of Europe has been
through encirclement. In that strat-
egy there is an important lesson
for the United States. The United
States has little need to worry about
attack from across the Atlantic and
Pacific, but it dees need to worry
about being encircled via South
America.
For instance: Hitler’s first move
in Europe after the Rhineland was
to take Austria. Czechoslovakia did
not like it, but her peace groups
counseled against riskiing war; her
two allies, Rumania and Yugoslavia,
decided that it was not their funeral
and France had been rendered im-
potent by Hitler’s occupation of the
Rhineland.
So next day the Czechs woke up
Kaufman, Terrell, Rockwall,
Wylie, McKinney, Denton and
Decatur.

Jess familiar, and. ronsequently, less ponular. Only in
recent years has it been given on the radio the recogni-
tion and publicity it deserves.
Furthermore, any music is simply a group of chords
arranged in a pattern. There are only so many notes
which mav be used in these chords no matter what tyne
of music is concerned. The only real differences between
good hill-billy music and good symphonies are the range
of the chords and the instruments used in their execu-
tions. No one can deny that it takes more skill and more
talent to compose a symphony than it does a popular
piece.
Rather than saying that classical music is on its way
out, it is much more to the point to say that, from now
on, the classics and swing shall proceed side by side; for
iust as the same person can like musical comedy and
heavy drama, so he can also enjoy good popular music
and good symphony.

OUR DISSENSION IS THE STRONGEST FIFTH
COLUMN OF OUR ENEMIES
During the Spanish Civil War, while General Franco
was gradually closing in upon a Loyalist city, the defend-
ers were fighting among themselves in the streets.
The so-called “Loyalists” were divided into a number
of factions, each of which had stubborn and short-sight-
ed leaders and its own theory of how the problems of the
republic should be solved.
These factions argued bitterly among each other be-
fore, the civil war started, and, when fighting began, they
could not forget their differences. All were opposed to
General Franco, but, instead of uniting, they slew each
other, even while being bombed by the common enemy.
It is not astonishing that General Franco eventually
triumphed in this war. He had discord within his own
following, but he was able to prevent the disputants
from fighting among themselves. With the backing of
Hitler and Mussolini, he defeated the Loyalists who could
not present a solid front.
When a force that is united goes into action against
a people which is so divided that it cannot resist as a
unit, because much of its potential energy is wasted in
interneiine strife, the uniter force has a tremendous ad-
vantage. Disunion can sap the strength of the most pow-
erful nation and make it the victim of a would-be con-
queror. It is high time for the American people to rec-
pgnize this fact. A crisis is upon us, and we cannot meet
it, unless we stop bickering among ourselves and dedicate
to the cause of the national safety “our lives, our for-
tunes and' our sacred honor,” as our forefathers did in
1776.—Dallas Times Herald.

Washington, May 22.—It takes
no profound expert on international
relations to see cogent parallels
between the position of this country
today and that of certain European
countries.
For instance: Five years ago this
column gave the inside stcry of the
French dilemma on March 7, 1936—
the date Hitler sent his troops into
the demilitarized Rhineland. All
that fateful day, the French cabinet
deliberated. Whether to send the
French army into the Rhineland
to stop Hitler’s very small, very in-
experienced, young army was the
question.
Chief of Staff Gamelin notified
the cabinet that to oppose Hitler
might not actually mean war, but it
meant the risk of war, Hitler’s new
army might fold up and retreat. But
if it took a stand, it meant war.
The cabinet debated this all day
long. Finally it decided that the
country could not risk war, The
political reaction would be bad. Also
the defense program was not com-
plete.
Later it was disclosed that Hitler
had given his troop commanders
double marching orders. One order
was to advance. The other order
was To retreat in case of French
resistance.
Note: One year later when Hitler |
in a recently published atricle was the statement that
“swing” was gradually replacing symphonic music.
On the surface this statement may be true; for surely
there are several times as many swing programs on the
radio as there are symphonic ones; people know the words
to many of the popular songs, but few of the people sing
arias from the operas or similar classical pieces - swing
records far outsell symphonic ones; and there are scores
of swing orchestra leaders who are widely known, while
only a few of the symphony conductors are familiar with
the general public.
But do these factors necessarily indicate that classi-
cal music is on the wane? These are still a number of
arguments to the contrary. For example: the average life
of a popular song ranges from approximately three mon-
ths to a year—if it is lucky. And yet such pieces as
Strauss’ waltzes have been flourishing year after year.
Recently people from all over Texas, Oklahoma, Ar-
kansas, New Mexico, and Louisiana went to Dallas to pay
from four to six dollars a person to hear a performance by
the Metropolitan Opera Company. How many people would
travel so far or pay so much to hear one of the popular
orchestras perform with their entourage?
On Saturday afternoons all during the winter months
one firm has a three-hour program which broadcasts
the matinee performance at the Metropolitan Opera
House. The only other programs equal to this in length
are . the baseball and football broadcasts.
In the last few years at least one of the three ton-
most tunes has been taken directly or indirectly from
classical compositions. For example: “Lilacs In The Rain”
and “Deep Purple” both taken directly from the classi-
cal “Deep Purple:” “Moon Love” from Tschaikowsky's fif-
th symphony; "My Revery" from DeBussy’s “Reverie;”
“The Lamp Is Low’ from another DeBussy comnosition:
“Our Love” from the overture to “Romeo and Juliet,”
“The Isle of Mav” from the Andante Cantabile: the lovely
“Intermezzo " and scores of others. Many people who
sing these songs and buy them for their victrolas still
claim that they do not like classical music.
There are a number of other arguments for this side
of the question, but lay them aside for a moment and con-
sider the reasons whv these conditions exist, Ponular mu-
sic just as its name implies is designed to anneal to the
general public. It is pushed forward bv publishers and
orchestra leaders until it is heard as often as five times
a day. Anything which is nlea.sing in Quality becomes

i took Austria, France was better pre-
pared. But Germany was even more
so. And far more important, Ger-
many new had protected her- great
industrial area of the Ruhr and
moved into the strategic Rhine val-
ley, for which an attack on either
France or Germany is absolutely es-
sential.
USA and West Africa
On Thursday, May 15, 1941, it be-
came known that France had signed
a deal whereby her colonies in West
Africa (and elsewhere) were turned
over to Hitler’s uses.
On Friday, May 16, 1941, the
White House and the State Depart-
ment debated all day whether Pres-
ident Roosevelt should send a mes-
sage to congress warning the nation
what German troops and bombing
planes at Dakar, on the western
bulge of Africa, meant tc the Mon-
roe Doctrine.
The day passed and nothing
happened. This delay is now being
rectified. But previously many other
precious days had passed.
Last autumn, after the capittula-
tion of France, General Weygand
had an army of 300,000 men in
North Africa, plus a fair number of
airplanes and artillery. At that
time Admiral Leahy, new ambassa-
dor to France, suggested a point
Pan-American naval expedition to
Dakar, jumping-off place to South
America, to prevent such a jump-
off.

thize with the United States in re-
gard to Germany—except that like
every other Latin American nation,
they absolutely opposed admitting
U. S. troops on their soil in ad-
vance to help block a Nazi invas-
ion.
Of course they have excellent
precedents. Belgium, for instance,
refused to permit French troops on
her soil or even to have general
staff consultations with France in
advance of the Nazi invasion.
Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela
may change their minds tomorrow.
Belgium changed its mind—but too
late.
(Editor’s Note: How the U. S. A.
delayed too long in Spain and in
Japan will be told in subsequent
Merry-Go-Round columns).

they faced Nazi troops.
Therefore, a year later, when
Hitler got ready to take the Sude-
tenland, it was relatively easy to
apply the pinchers to Czechoslov-
akia—especially since he had the
help of Poland and Hungary. Those
two countries both wanted slices
of Czech territory, mobilized their
armies on the rest of the Czech
border. That was the end of Czech-
oslovakia.
Steps to Turkey
Next day Poland woke up to find
itself two-thirds surrounded by
Germany. By gaining Czechoslov-
akia, Hitler now could station his
troops, north, south and west of
Pc land. So a year later, the pinchers
were applied to Poland and she was
swallawed.
Meanwhile, Hungary wanted , a
slice of Rumania, cooperated with
Hitler by sending troops across her
borders. Rumania was taken, Hun-
gary found herself surrounded, a
vassal state. Her premier committed
suicide.
Yugoslavia was a Little Entente
ally of both Czechoslovakia and
Rumania, but ignered the alliance
when they needed help. Later Yugo-
slavia found herself surrounded on
three sides: By Italy on the west,
Nazified Austria, Rumania and Bul-
garia on the north and east. The
Axis applied the pinchers and now
it was Yugoslavia’s funeral.
Turkey was an ally of Yugoslavia
but decided to remain an isolation-
ist nation. Today, Turkey is com-
pletely surrounded: by Nazi occu-
pied Greece, and Nazi-occupied Bul-
garia-plus uncertain Russia. When
ever Hitler gets ready to pluck her,
it will be Turkey’s funeral.
USA and Brazil
The United States, it might be re-
peated, has little to fear from direct
attacks across the Atlantic and
Pacific. Neither did Yugoslavia or
Turkey two years ago fear direct
attack. At that time Germany was
many miles distant.
But should Germany get a toe-
hold in Brazil, Venezuela or the
Guianas, then it is but a few hours
bombing flight to Colombia and the
Panama Canal, or a short step to
Central America and Mexico.
