Daybook
By Jack Stinnett
WASHINGTON — Thoughts
for today:
Sen. Millard K. Tydings ,Md.):
"The information as to the stren
gth of Germany’s planes has
been in the hands of this Govern
ment for five years, four years,!
three years, two years, one year, i
As it has been in the hands of ]
the French, the Polish, the Hun
garians, the Czechs and al other
governments. The thought was,
that, no matter what happened
I in the whole world, we would
not have to prepare here.”
Robert H. Jackson, Attorney
General of the United States, dis
cussing the strength and weak
ness of democracy: “Even if free!
dom does develop man of great
er initiative and strength, if they!
forever pull in oposite directions
there is no collective strength. |
Two strong men who cancel each
other are not equal to two dumb
men who pull together.”
Sen. Claude Pepper (the Talla
hassee flash): "When Hitler was
poised to strike his deadly blow,
the Prime Minister of Great Brit
ain (Chamberlain) said, "Hitler
I has missed the bus.’ I think that
! statement will go down in history
I as perhaps the most descriptive
statement any statesman has ut
tered showing a total lack of un
derstanding of the kind of war
we face and the kind of world
ours had become.”
(Author’s note): Senator Pep-'
per is the spearhead of the drive
for “total defense” and “total
aid—short of war” to the forces
fighting Nazism. Since the de
fense drive started hardly a day
has passed in which he did not |
make one or more speeches. He
has been in hoi water almost
constantly with that Senate ele
ment which might be termed con
servative in its approach to pres- |
ent world problems.
Sen. Arthur H. Vandenburg
(Mich.): “I conclude with a fer
vent recommendation of the fun
damental axiomatic philosophy
of the first Roosevelt who said
that we should ‘speak softly and
carry a big stick.’ ”
Rep. Bruce Barton, (New York
(City): "A former Roosevelt gave
j us a foreign policy. Said Presi
dent Theodore Roosevelt: ‘Speak
softly and carry a big stick.* ”
This being the seventh time in
the last few weeks, ladies and
gentlemen, that that statement
has been written into the record
of congressional proceedings, it’s j
beginning to look as if we’ll have
to call our new foreign policy the j
The Pan American “Alaska Clipper,” piloted by Capt. Jerry Jones,
is shown nosing out the "Ark of Juneau" at the finish line in Ward’s
Cove near Ketchikan, Alaska. While the finish was close the Clip
per’s time was just 41 days, 21 hours and 29 minutes better than that
of the Ark. It took Paul Satko 42 days Zy2 hours to navigate his Ark
into Ward’s Cove While the Clipper made the trip in 5 hours and
1 minute. Both the “Alaska Clipper” and the “Ark of Juneau” are
making their first appearance in Alaskan territory. The clipper was
on its inaugural trip of regularly scheduled air service between
Seattle, Ketchikan and Juneau while the Ark is carrying the Satko
family in search of a new home.
