similar case in point was the

The British destroyer Glow Worm,

Veterans Association House last
night.
1.-THE Surest guarantee of our final
success is the attitude of the Ger
man people who, knowing full well
our enemies intentions, are firmly
resolved to end the conflict only
with decisive victory" he said. 'For
300 years England and France
always succeeded in dividing the
German people internally, even when
they only sought to obtain their vital
rights. Today, however, there is only
one people in Germany which needs
but one voice. That this great
transformation has been brought to
pass in an historic achievement of the
National Socialis movement, Full of
faith, Germany today turns her eyes
toward the Fuehrer. He will make
good his word. This war shall end
with the most glorious victory of our
history"

AFTER-ELECTION:
Decisions in Making

With President Roosevelt captur-
ing an unprecedented third term by
almost 1900, 900 plurality and contin-
uing his party control of both houses
of congress, the period ahead is ex-
pected to be one Of fast moving de-
cisions on both foreign and domes-
tic issues. Many Of these may come
before the Inauguration January 20.
Many have been delayed during anx-
ious weeks and months while the ma
ton INDUCED itself in a political
campaign.
In the foreign field continued sale
of oil, copper and machine tools to
Japan, that later may be used
against U. S. army, must be re-
solved. Likewise the issue of sale
of food to territory conquered by
Germany is due to be settled. Other
problems are the sovereignty of
Martinique, which may be used as
a supply base for German subma-
rine raiders in tn Caribbean; the
activities of foreign agents in this
country; loans to Latin American
nations; and greater priority for
Britain in the production of planes.
In the domestic field almost ev-
eryone in Washington expects a re-
organization Of the national defense
commission with appointment of
co-ordinator of activities. There
must also be action where labor is
pressing for. higher wages in de-
tense industries, and resistance to
price increases. Tax studies already
have begun and banks are urging
an attractive long-term loan at rates
above the present market. The UNI
willingness of industry to expand in
the steel and machine tool industries
must be met with decision to give
them government financing or for
the government to enter that field
itself.
State Machines
!. Another problem Washington ex-
poets to be given speedy attention
is the political machines Of both
parties controlling certain graft-rid-
den cities and states. The justice
department is said to have some in
dictments ready even before cleo
ton. They were withheld because
the administration did not want
to be accused Of playing politics.
Michigan is said to be in this
category. Here charges are expect
ed in connection with operation Of a

New Jersey also may draw a

MIGHTY ROME:
Plans Awry

Apparently confident of a speedy
capitulation, Rome began to talk Of
peace terms as soon as the first
Fascist legions crossed the Alba
MAN border to enter Greece. Rome
implied dissension would bring the
Greek to heel. Premier John Me-
taxas, power behind the throne, was
expected to resign. King George,
so the Italian story went, would abb
dictate, bestowing the crown on his
brother, Prince Paul, 81, and mar
ried to German princess.
But the Greeks had a word for it.
The word was ''no." They refused
to capitulate. Italian forces gained
but 80 miles into Greek territory at
their best point when week passed.
They were doing lot worse at 9TH
er points. On the Koritza-Florina
road the Greeks caught the Fascist
flank in a vice and pinched it until
both sides were fighting far inside
Albanian territory and the Italian
rear was threatened.
Civilians stood up under air raids
carried out against the islands Of
Crete and Corfu, against Salonika
and the port of Athena, Pireatus.
While there was indication the
Greeks would receive little help
from their neighbor Balkan coun-
tries, British stakes were high. The
British were giving what they
promised, "all possible aid" Brit
ish soldiers occupied Crete and Cor
flu, British and Greek planes bombed
Italian bases both in Italy and Al
bania. -
How long the Greeks could hold
out, neutral observers were loath to
state. Mountains stood in the Ital-
ian path. Torrential autumn rains
turned primitive roads into seas of
mud. Mountain streams overtiowed
into soggy marshland. If Italian
conquest was held off until British
assembled greater strength in the
east, anything might happen.

PEACEFUL LONDON:
Is This Var?

The Axis air attack on London
played on a limited scale while war
was being made in the Balkans.
Fewer and fewer were the attacks
by the Luftwaffe. On one Sunday
only single German plane crossed
the channel. !
But the British attack on Germa-
ny was not lessened. The British
air ministry said the hardest blows
Of the war were being struck at Ber-
lin railroad centers and power sta
tons. Tons of bombs also were
dropped in the industrial Ruhr and
at Nazi invasion points in the Meth
erlands, Belgium and France. One
day the German ministry Of propa-
ganda and public enlightenment adj
mitted the loss of eight German
planes to four British. It was the
first time Herr Goebbels admitted
anything like that.
Meanwhile London resumed its
boast Of business as usual" Sub
ways and trains were running close
to schedule, food was arriving in
sufficient amounts to prevent clos
er trimming of the ration cards and
stores were open in regular hours.

NAVY PREPARES:

freighter, $1,000, 900 was paid.
The navy needs many Of these

rev waters and off dangerous
coasts. Nine of the most modern
tankers in the world were purchased
