Rebellion in Europe Unlikely.

Elmer Davies.

The method of blockade will have one disadvantage for Great Britain. The territory now controlled by Germany comprises some two hundred million people, of which only about eighty million are Germans. If there is any starving to be done, Germans will starve last. The proportion of Germans in Europe is likely to be greater at end of war than before. French, Dutch, Belgians, Norwegians, Danes will all go hungry and die of hunger and malnutrition before many Germans suffer, and yet starvation weapon is the most powerful that Britain has. The possibility of rebellion amongst subject peoples is unlikely, as it is a matter of history that starving populations seldom rebel, and still more, that they don't do so successfully.

New York. Wednesday.

“The coming winter will be a great and terrible ally on the side of Britain”, declared Mr. Noel Coward in an interview with the New York Journal and American yesterday. He called on the United States to “harden your hearts and close your ears” when the call came from Europe for food supplies during the winter. “You will be asked to feed a starving continent and it will be your generous impulse to do so. It is an awful decision which must be made in face of unimaginable suffering, but if you feed Hitler's victims you feed Germany herself. When the time comes”, said Mr. Coward, “I beg you to harden your hearts and remember that liberty must not perish”. Mr. Coward is on his way to Washington to visit Lord Lothian, the British Ambassador.
