They came out of The Netherlands. from Belgium, fled
down from Luxembourg and out of northern France. For two
days it rained, a cold drizzle that slanted into the dust. And the
dust became mud. And this slowed them in their flight, caked the wheels of their carts, seeped through the shoes of those
on foot.
There were five million of them. Newsmen who watched their flight wrote of a “river of misery.’” These people were
not strone. becaure the strong had stayed to fight for their
homes. They were women, children and the aged.
They looked furtively over their shoulders for a last
glimpse. Those who were there remembered how the lowhanging clouds reflected the flash of artillery-fire into their
.tormented faces. At night they took to the woods and attempted to doze in wet. make-shift shelters. And because the rumble of guns made it impossible to sleep or even rest, they moved on. :
Coming up from the south were troops advancing to join
against the enemy. So they took to one side of the _ road,
crowding into: the ditch where horses in their traces lay exhausted and where automobiles lay abandoned with empty
fuel tanks.
The next day was clear; menacingly clear, and the soldiers kept looking to the sky. And that which they feared happened. At first it was a distant hum. Then the small black
dots in the sky grew larger and before they knew it these
planes swept down upon them to strafe with machinegun-fire
the north-bound troops. But there was no use in screaming to
the sky that they bore no arms, that they wanted no part of
this war. : :
They trod on, through Tours, Poitiers, Limoges, Vichy,
on to Bourgés and to Nevers. And by that time they saw this
flag. It was a red cross on a cean field of white. Many wept.
__They were so hungry, tired and harassed they could not eat.
Their feet were swollen and when the last shred of stockings
were removed, their feet were bathed in clean water. They
flung themselves upon cots and slept for the first time to heal
their tired bodies. ‘
} There was an old man who died, and there was a mother!
who clutched heridead child while her soul bled with grief. !
There were some who had brought money, but they, too,
were hungry because in their flight there had been no food
for their money to buy.
__. The disheartening plight of these millions has deeply .
moved the heart of every American. Yet we cannot be con-.
tent with mere sympathies. The cry for food and clothing and:
for clean surgical dressings to bind wounds cannot be answered with laments. Tears are not enough.
Our thankfulness for peace and security must be translated into tancible assistance. We can do this through the American Red Cross. Already millions of American dollars have
purchased Red Cross mercy ‘supplies that have been needed
so urvently in Finland. Poland and other war-stricken nations. This greater need that grows hourly in France must be
met with greater response. And remember that this response
must be prompt and generous.
Give what you can and give through the Red Cross.
'Your contribution, large or small, whatever you can afford,
is vital in answering this challenge.
British Labor Speaks
_ A few years ago, when the great British general strike
was called, Ernest Bevin was its leader. He cried. out that
labor was denied its rights, was crushed, was abused in Eng-'
land. That general trike was broken, and the man who played
the mapor part in breaking it was Winston Churchill.
_ Last week, still the leader of 6,000,000 trade unionists,
but also now—at the request of Prime Minister Winston
sorely at bay, Ernest Bevin made an impassioned appeal to
British labor.
“There will be no strikes during this war. We are appealing to management now to keep machines in constant use a
full 24 hours each day, seven days a week. For the moment,
British labor wants only the reward of peace and security. If
our British fortresses of trade unionism is destroyed, unionism
is fatally hit throughout the world. If we: go down, trade
unionim goes down everywhere. That is the reason that I as
a trade unionist am in this war to the bitter end. These next
three months will be vital, critical months. We must hold on.
As the prime minister has told you, “We shall never surrenworld for us all.” :
___ In the hot glare of danger to all that men have gained
under democratic processes, in the face of the steel and flame
of armed might created by virtual slave labor under domacracy
hating dictatorships, the scales of delusion are falling from the

eyes of all classes of free men. How futile the past strikes and
lockouts, soapbox orations and “‘class”” jealousies seem now in

Campfires and Catastrophes
4
With California forests rapidly drying under summer
sun. forest service officials this week issued a public reminder that it is illegal to build a campfire in any national forest
area, or to light fires in auto trailer stoves, without obtaining
an official permit to do so. Permits are issued without charge
to all who apply and sign an agreement to abide by comprehensive fire safety rules while in forests.
That law is a good one. Yet, its principal value is to
come demons of catastrophe through the slightest careless. ness. No law can prevent a heedles tourist or camper from
. tossing a smouldering cigaret butt or match into the tinder of
underbrush, nor from leaving a campfire without being sure!
that the last ember is cold. The only law that can be adequate
against such disasters is the law of common sense._It is the
duty of every vacationist to impose that law upon himself,
serve as a reminder that campfires built for pleasure may be.
For party chieftains, the day of
days draw near! Z
Platforms are being written;
caucuses ‘are being held; silk hats
are coming out of storage; the bands
are warming up—and state_ delegations are making frenzied last-minure preparations before boarding
their special trains for the national
party conventions.
California’s delegation to the Republican National Convention, which
convenes in Philadelphia on June 24,
is organized and ready to go. Most
of thé delegates will leave by special train from Oakland within the
next few days.
Preceding other members of the
delegation East, Preston Hotchkiss
of San Marino, California member
of the resolutions and platform committee is already Philadelphia-bound
to be on hand for pre-convention sessions on platform and policy.
National Committeeman William
F. Knowland, is also going ahead of
the delegation proper to sit in with
national committeemen from other
states in making final plans for the
convention.
Breaking precedent, members of
the G. O. P. resolutions and platform
committee will meet in Philadelphia
for a full week before the convention opens, whipping the _ party’s
platform into. shape, so that it will
be ready for presentation when the
gavel falls. This is the first time in
the party’s history that the platform
committee has done its work in advance of the opening of the convention—but apparently the: Republican stalwarts have decided that the
issues confronting the nation are of
such transcending importance that
every plank in the platform must be
carefully fashioned and nailed down.
The Demcratic delegation from
California, headed by Governor Olson—and including two Garner delegates, in addition to the Roosevelt
slate—still has considerable organization work to complete, but the
Democratic convention which will be
held at Chicago, isn’t scheduled to
open until July 15.
Secretary of State Paul Peek has
proposed that California’s Democratic delegates combine with delegates
from Oregon, Washington and Nevada in special train arrangements,
And if this is agreed to, the delegates from all three states will meet
in San Francisco and spend a day at
the Treasure island exposition before leaving for the East on July
10. :
The Republican delegation from
California is uninstructed, and thus
far there has been no hint as’to whether it will go for Dewey, Vandenberg, Taft—or the up and coming
“dark horse’, Wendell Willikie.
“BILTONG”? URGED FOR TROOPS
CAPETOWN, South Africa (UP)
—‘Biltong”’ for the British army has
been suggested to the defense department of South Africa; One shipload of “‘biltong’’ could last an army
for months, thus freeing boats for
other necessities. It is the sun-dried
meat of the antelope and of oxen.

risk alienating their friendship by
pushing Republican aspirants for
office.
There are similar situations up and
down the state. The easiest solution
was offered by Clyde Watson, conservative Democrat of Orange, who
changed his resignation to Republicon and hopes to be nominated and
elected on the combined vote of Republicans and conservative Bourbons. }
While Governor Olson has withdrawn his demands 4or “purge” of
