SHORTWAVES

HE Berlin dailies report that, because of the war, Hitler hasn’t time to eat anything . . Licking Stalin’s boots apparently is sufficient food.-Walter Winchell, in the "New York Daily Mirror." * * * LEADER of Mr. Churchill’s calibre is worth more than an army corps.-New York Herald Tribune. * * * W HEN my Fuehrer shook hands with me it was the finest moment in my life, but more happiness followed when he invited all of us to lunch.Member of the German submarine crew which sank the " Royal Oak." * * * IN my garden at Lambeth Palace is a barrage balloon which the men are good enough to call the Archblimp.-The Archbishop of Canterbury. " * * THERE is nothing so bad or so good that you will not find an Englishman doing it; but you will never find an Englishman in the wrong. He does everything on principle. He fights you on patriotic principles; he robs you on business principles; he enslaves you on imperial principles.Bernard Shaw in "The Man of Destiny." * * * STALIN speaks in short, clear sentences which strike the ear of the listener in quick succession. Everything that Stalin says — whether he speaks from notes or spontaneously — is precise and dictated by an objective judgment. — Frankfurter Zeitung. * * * HITLER'S diet contains too many eggs and too much fat. His chef has to cook eggs in thirty different ways, and he is very fond of vegetables done with fat. Too much of eggs and fat tend to upset the liver. A man with a torpid liver is usually bad-tempered, unreasonable, and hard to live with.-Mrs. Eileen Murphy. o * * It was perfectly dreadful that these horrible London childréa should go into clean country homes, I examined game thousands of them, and their state was simply @ppalling--Dr. G, Lawrence, on the evacuation. * * * TLER threatens an intensified submarine campaign. He would sink anything to win the war, including his differences with Stalin-Jhe New Yorker.
