THE YAHOOS WHEN first Hitler's villainies were disclosed to a scandalised 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 unneceвs; that the name Hitler was in itself sufficient to express all that is evil in human nature. That, however, has not satifised every body. As the tale of bis 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-

printe 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 beasts 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 cursed race, degenerate and |brutal. In'Gulliver's words, their' defeats arose chiefly "from a perverse, restive 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 overy Ger man, or even to 'every Nazi. But the out-and-out Nazi, one trained in brutality according to the Hitler prescription, is ti vilest and most pestilent thing that the earth-has ever

spectacular shows were soon afterwards staged on the European scene, and Den- mark disappeared from the limelight. Occasionally news penetrates the German em- bargo on truth to confirm the fears and conclusions of Danes in exile.

** In this hopeless picture of, economic disaster, underlined by a steadily growing unemploy ment, there is n ray of light which must warm the heart of any Dane, whether he shares in the fate of his country inside or outside the Danish boundaries."
