Civilians in Wartime
CNeW York Times)


 Europes civilians have endured such miseries already in this much-derided 'phony' war that one has wondered sometimes, how long their flesh and blood and will-power could stand the strain. We in America cannot picture the intending suspense of waiting for terror to fall from the skies the aching sorrow of separation from our children, the anxious wait for news of men who have gone to the front or onto the mine infested seas Fortunately, we do not know the mental and physical depression that comes from nightly blackouts, unheated houses, rationed food
 In Europe these are not individual sufferings, but elements in vast tragedy that has engufed millions upon millions in belligerent and neutral countries alike. In Germany we read, a wave of influenza and other respiratory diseases has followed ban on the heating of houses and the use of hot water during winter of pitiless severity In France, with millions of men under arms, the women behind the lines struggle to keep their shops open and the economic life of the country moving. In England prices rise economic dislocation increases, and ra- tioning of all kinds grips civilian life until the com forts of normal times become but distant memory.
 Neutral Denmark, cold country in the best of winters, shvers in below-zero weather at time of serious fuel shortage. An anxious Danish Govern ment has just banned the of hot water until April and has ordered the temperature of all build ings lowered until warm weather returns. Not long ago the Danes were the happest, most caretree people of Europe; today they swept up ineXora- by by the hardships of war that makes no diStinc ton between belgerentS ana neutraS between lsht- ing men and -combatants behind the lines
 Probably European morale can withstand far more than the sufferngs of this terrible winter be- fore it cracks. In the last World War-"the First German Var the British now call 1.-the European civilian showed almost superhuman endurance in the face of suffering. Sir Philip Gibbs used to tell of the civilians of Ypres who carried on their businesses in cellars while the town above them was hammered into heaps of rubble But in hundreds of thousands of homes, in all the countries of Eu- rope there must be a deepened resolve this winter that such cruelty shall not be loosed upon the world again In winter of such bitterness there is more point than ever in the nationwide resolve of the French people that the threat must be ended for good: 'i faut finir"

LOOKING AT IT FRANKLY

As people, we Americans pride ourselves con- sderably on our humanitarian impulses, and on our ability to castigate-orally and in print-those for eign peoples who do not up to some stand ard of decency Our collective sympathy for the Films, the Chinese the Poles, and the Philippians is colossal Our contempt for those who invaded those countries is correspondingly great. Yet the record of our performance is a sorry in recent years
 Japans aggression in China would have collapsed stores precisely the materials Japan needed for her effort. Our sympathy for China takes the curi- ous form of underwriting Japans aggression with amazing completeness
 Poland had our sympathy, too. But Poland has not
 Just the Films fighting with their backs to the wall Denunciations of the Red Russians fly thick from Florida to Alaska Yet it is fact that we have been selling substantial quantities of ayia- tion gasoline and other strictly military goods to the Soviet Union, while credits to Finland only for civilian commodities"
 I. Sweden with a total population hardly two thirds that of New York City alone. has made an immensely greater contribution to Finlands defense Yet she do this only at the risk of involvement in war, while could do it with safety
 At first glance this might to imply colos- sal hypocrisy this talking of sympathy for the vic- tins and granting of aid to the aggressors But that would be a harsh judgment It reflects, more prob ably, extraordinary apathy toward the msfor- tunes of distant peoples and a singular failure to realize that our own fate is bound up in that of the community of peoples.

WEDNESDAY. MARCH 6

WEDNESDAY, MARCH
 Benefic aspects dominate today The morning hours are promising to persons who exercise authority all who have positions in the Sun It is not a lucky date for new en- terprises or for the discussion of changes in business or political pol icies. The evening is under a sway that encourages good deeds.
 Heart and Home: Women are exceptionally favored under this planetary government and should push all their interests at home and in business matters. There should be good luck for those who seek employment in the professions. Under this. rule of the stars there should be inclination to award gen. erous salaries. The evening is aus picious for. meeting strangers of opposite sex.
 Business Affairs: Better under standing of the problems of em- ployers will be general this spring when disclosures of the origin of propaganda inimical to capitalists reveal facts of a sensational nature. Cooperation between workers and heads of business enterprises will prove profitable. Prosperity now should be enjoyed by many Ameri- cans Again national generosity will be shown in relief for war vic- tins in Europe and Asia.
 National Issues: Balancing the budget will be much discussed as financial problems loom and na- tional indebtedness increases. The Secretary of the Treasury will be conspicuous among cabinet members and prove his ability to meet diff ficult problems associated with in- ternational finance Again many changes in the personnel of de- partment heads are prognosticated
 International Affairs: According to a leading astrologer the config- uration at the beginning of the war indicated that the conflict would develop ideal motives that will in- sure victory for those who defend their rights and their liberty. The true objective is the overcoming of dictatorial rule which destroys democracies and obstructs human progress. Unless peace is attained within the next few months the struggle will involve the United States, it is presaged, and will ab gorb the greater part of the worlds wealth.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of certain per- plexities. Discretion in conduct and caution in business deals are counseled.
 Children born on this day may be temperamental and impulSive. They should be trained in self control and taught to be careful in the selection of friends. Many of these subjects of Pisce are ex- ceedingly talented.

The War at Sea
Philadelphia Record)


 Since the beginning of the war the average daily loss of British merchant ships to German slbmar- inc air and mine attack has been around $500 tons day.
 The British Admiralty now announces that It's acquisitions of new tonnage by construction, cap ture of German ships and purchase of ships from neutras averages about 10000 tons week.
 Thus in the average week the British merchant fleet is reduced 24,500 tons and gains 10000 tons. The net loss of 45O0 tons week will be seen as negligible when it is that Great Britain started the war with than 200000OO tons Of merchant shipping
 At that rate it would take the Germans over 85 years to destroy the British merchant fleet
 World War experience indicates that Great Britain could be supplied with essentials for months with half it's present fleet even if much neutral shipping scared off by German submarine and mine blockade much more intensive than at present
 If it is the intention of Germany to win the war by starving out the British, no wonder Hitler told Sir Neville Henderson that he would rather begin the when he is only 50, rather than wait ten years until he 60.
