THE YAHOOS WHEN Arst Hitler's villainies were disclosed to a scandallged world many people racked their brains to discover or invent a term to express their detestation of his crimes. The search was not satisfactory. It was felt that no word in any language adequately covered the measure of his wickedness.
The suggestion was made that the search was unnecesse ; that the name Hitler was in itself sufficient to express all that is evil in human nature. That, however, has not satifined every body. As the tale of his atro- cities unfolded the desire grew to fix still more deeply the brand of infamy upon Hitler and his gang.
Now one of the searchers says he has at last hit upon an appro- priate name. He has found it in an English classic, Swift's "Gulliver's Travels." When Gulliver landed in the country of the Houyhnhnms he found that horses were the masters, and loathsome creatures bearing a resemblance to human beings were the slaves and bensts of burden. The former had all the virtues, the latter all the vices that exist on earth.
These degraded creatures were known as Yahoos, and Gulliver contracted such a horror of them that he became ashamed of being human. They were to him a cursed race, degenerate and brutal, In Gulliver's words, their defents aroso chiefly "from, a perverse, restivo disposition: for they are cunning, malicious, treacherous, and revengeful; they are strong, and hardy, but of a cowardly spirit, and by consequence insolent, abject, and cruel."
The cap seems to fit pretty well. No one, we hope, would think of fitting it to every Ger- man, or even to overy Nazi. But the out-and-out- Nazi, trained in brutality according lo the Hitler prescription, is tho vilest and most pestilent thing that the

In this hopeless picture of economic disaster, underlined by a steadily growing unemploy- ment, there in a ray of light which must warm the heart of any Dane, whether he shares in the fato of his country inside or outside the Danish boundaries. This ray of hope is the outspoken revival of national feeling in Denmark. The complacent be- llef that peaceful little Den- mark" would never be drawn Into the European whirlpool tended to make the Danes neglect their national duties. Under the invasion they have come to realise that only a united nation, faithful to national tradition, will survive. The re- vival has recently found expres alon.
