Neutrals should be handled as small children. So if there are any neutral rights tlocking progress of the war, we should apologizeâ€"and then go right aheadâ€" because if we don‘t, the Germans will. And there would be no such thing as "neutral rights" if Germany won, so they shouldn‘t kick too much now. It may be necessary to do things to them that they don‘t likeâ€"but if it results in the defeat of Germany it will be for their own good in the long run.

Through one end of the notched stick was a cord which in turn was tied to her son‘s big toe. ‘"Well," said mom, "what‘s all this?" ‘"That," said the son, ‘is my invention for letting the window down when the room gets cold without getting out of bed. You see, mom, when I get cold I always draw my feet up under me, like this." As he pulled his feet up, bang, down came the window. "See, mom? It works. too.," : Huntsville Lad Appears as Regular Inventive Genius mom Her decks resisted a heavy German bomb dropped by Nazi airplanes raiding Scapa Flow by moonlight.
