The Real Fifth Column
ScriberS.
(New York Times)

The term Fifth Column" has been worked in recent weeks that many Americans apt to imagine this country and all surviving free countries honeycombed with thousands upon thou sands of native spies and saboteurs. timely rective to such ideas has just come from Carl J.. Hambro, for Is years President of the Norwegian Parliament Hitler works the Fifth Column idea for all it's worth" MT, Hambro reminds He wants to create the impression that there thou sands, even millions, of Nazi sympathzers every where" And he added the obvious truth not always obvious to those who believe any tale of reachery that nothing demoralizes people more surely than that they have been betrayed by their neigh bors, by members of their government by officers in the defense forces"
 MT Hambro was in Norway when the invasion struck. He saw the real Fifth Column there do its contemptible work; he too, that those who be- trayed Norway were not Norwegians but Germans. In the case of Norway many of these Germans came, ostensbly visit the Norwegian foster parents who years when Germany hungry.
 It is cruel injustice to blame the Norwegian the Dutch Belgian people for the crimes of Germany It suits Hitler's purpose perfectly for others to believe and spread stories that these de- mocraces were routed with treachery from within. The Germans work chiefly with Germans in their propaganda efforts. They disgruntled native citizens when they find them but in the last analysis they rely on their agents, as they did in Norway, as they would in this country if their opportunity came.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
SUNDAY, JULY 2S

Adverse planetary aspects are active today. After the morning hours malefic influence are strong. While the clergy is under benefic sway there may be ten dency among the people to rebel against fate. Agnosticism may ex- tend and strange cults may flour ish.
 Heart and Home: The aged will feel keenly the changed world con- ditions. They should be encouraged by loving care and their health should be safeguarded. Women to- day are under a rule of the stars which inclines them to be despon- dent. They should enlist in church and philanthropic organizations. Aid for victims of war now should be part of every family budget.
 Business Affairs: Farmers, stock raisers, fishermen and all who sup ply food in any form will have many calls upon them to meet the demands of starving war vic- tims It will be largely the work of the United States to feed the hun gry in Europe and Asia. Relief en- terprises on an immense scale now will be launched and American business will contribute lavishly to the needs of the poor and the suf- fering.
 National Issues: Financial prob lems will be discussed by the peo- pie who do not comprehend banks and banking. The stars presage for this country inevitable reflection of the bad industrial effects of war and waste. The inclination to blame Washington for what Berlin has accomplished will be encour- aged by campaign propaganda. The stars forecast success for the po- litical party which has been in power through world crises.
 International Affairs: Difference eS regarding colonial claims and possessions will cause troubles among totalitarian rulers. Secret agreements will be discovered and will cause anxiety to the United States. Upheavals in Mexico also will be disturbing, although there will be lasting unity of purpose among the Americas. Before the be- ginning of 1941 amazing world changes will be attained and &C., cepted temporarily, as diplomats seek ways to assure permanent peace.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fortune. Special care in regard to legal papers is enjoined.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be brilliant in mind and strong in body. They may be stub- borrily ambitious and able to reach heights of success.

Aboard Willkie Campaign Train,
En- Route to Syracuse, N. Y, Oct. IA
-(UP)- Republican Presidential
nominee Wendell L. Willkie pledged
today that If he were elected he
would be absolutely relentless" to-
ward those defense contractors who
delay the defense program by "jock-
eying" for larger profits.
In q statement issued as he left
Albany, N. Y, for day Of cam
paigning through upper New York
state, Willkie said the United States
was not getting high speed produc-
ton of essential defense materials.
If elected, he would insist upon
rapid decisions on the types of
planes and tanks to obtain quick,
mass production Of them.
The candidate spent Sunday in
his private train on railroad siding
at Feura Bush, near Albany, going
INTO Albany to attend church, and.
las evening, receiving Joseph N.
Pew, Jr., wealthy oil man and Re-
publican leader of Pennsylvania.
Today he speaks in Schenectady,
Amsterdam, Utica, Rome and to-
night, in Syracuse.
"As president, I will be absolutely
relentless regarding those firms
which are said to be jockeying
around for bids and thereby delay
ing the progress Of the defense pro-
gram in order to make a slightly
larger profit" Willkie said in his
statement.
zone reason why we believe in
private initiative Is because 1t is
faster and more efficient. As presi-
dent, I will see to it that In this
great national effort which en-
braces every element In our country
and which Is actually conscripting
our young men, that prospective
contractors for the government are
compelled TO toe the line...
II suggest. That the delay IN
reaching an agreement upon the
type Of plane or tank which Is 10 be
manufactured should be eliminated
