For eight years the Nazis have
quarreled with nearly everyone,
but they always stood up for the
Nordic race, and for Nordic suprem-
acy. But the Danes and Norwe-
gians are much purer Nordics than
the Nazis ever thought of being, and
so are the eastern English, eastern
Scotch, and eastern Irish. A strong
Slavic admixture is evident in most
of the Nazi leaders, and rank and
file.
And so, the theoretical "Nordics"
went to work on the actual Nor
dies, by land, and sea, and air. 1t
was all very confusing. English
planes would attack German war
ships in Norwegian ports, and Ger
man planes would attack English
warships off the Norwegian ports.
The losses in ships, and planes, and
men, as reported by both thorough
ly dishonest sides, were stupendous.
Every Norwegian coastal town, up
and down a long expanse, became
a miniature front Narvik,
Bergen, Trondheim, Oslo, the CAPT.
tai, and at several points elsewhere.
The little German garrisons, in the
Norwegian port towns, held on by
their backteeth, pro tenn.
According to latest reports from
Stockholm, King Haakon of Nor
way was rallying his armed forces
from a place of refuge in Norway's
interior. A royal proclamation was
issued calling upon the Norwegian
people to "stand with me and
guard and fight for Norway's in
dependence and freedom The
situation is such that I cannot tell
you where myself, the crown prince,
and the government are staying ). {.
God save Norway"
1t appeared, currently, that Ger
man ship losses exceeded those of
the English, and that hundreds, if
not thousands, of German soldiers
had been drowned as their troop
transports were sent to the bottom.

Prime Minister Mackenzie King,
of Canada, left his "warlike" CAPT.
tai for a snug vacation in our own
state of Virginia.
DIR. Paul Ehrlich's name stood ex-
tra-high. This human benefactor's
chemical cure of syphilis apparent
ly reduced its time-treatment from
many uncertain months to a fiat five
days, and this was reported to be
true in IS per cent of cases tested.
DR.. John L. Rice, New York city
health commissioner, seemed espe-
cially interested and called a great
interstate conference of public
health specialists.
Mile. Eve Curie, secondhand
daughter of the French radium
cure-alls, wondered why the Aneri-
cans worry about the news of the
war, and boosted about the grace
of La Paree. She is half-Polish, and
genuinely well liked. Also, stylists
consider this brainy girl as real
something to write, sartorially,
home about.
New York's Governor Lehman
banned all fireworks in his state,
except in experienced hands for
public display. Sale, distribution,
and possession were barred, to be-
come effective August /, 1910.
HonOre w. Morrow, resident Of
England for eight years, died in
New Haven. She was a famous
frontier" novelist, historian, and
Abe Lincolnian expert, who got
started in 1918, and was always full
of patriotic beans and bounce. Her
works had a girl-scout touch.
General Karl Becker, the new
German army's chief of ordnance,
also died. He was a non-partisan
scientist and expert, and an &C
knowledged top-fighter in European
military circles. Hitler, wreath in
hand, attended the Berlin state fu-
neral.

But neutral Swedish sources poured
cold water on the redhot news of
spectacular German losses. Win
ston Churchill was subjected to con-
siderable panning, in England and
elsewhere, for his alleged usual"
mishandling of the English fleet, in
the face of German tactical success.
His political future did not look
overly bright. People remembered
his high praise of Hitler, in a IA
nous Glasgow blurb of 1887. Home
folks began to call him ''Winnie the
Pooh"
Unhappy Denmark, which did not
resist like the Norwegians, began to
be treated, by the allies, as Ger
man province. The English seized
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1940-04-25

her Fasroe islands, and the Danish
dominion of Iceland virtually de-
clared its independence. In North
America, misty Greenland is
Danish, but it appeared that either
the United States, or Canada, might
take over that vast tract to the
north. President Roosevelt talked
about the Monroe Doctrine, and less
er lights defied the Germans to
come and take Greenland, which
they apparently had not thought of
doing.
PRESIDENT:
Our President, now in better
shape physically, vetoed a bill to
automatically deport alien spies,
saboteurs, criminals, and dopes.
This action aroused considerable an
noyance among some native Amer
leans, who are prone to purge the
Augean stables at historically
chronic intervals.
The President praised highly the
Civilian Conservation corps, and
wished it long life, even though
the CCC is a child of the depression.
Just the same, most Americans, lib
eral or conservative, approve of the
young Conservators, although some
pacifsts fear it is a first faltering
step toward universal military train
ing. Such people, and some others,
allege that Roosevelt merges ma
tionalism and socialism in a high
diluted National-Socialist form.
The President conferred with New
York Governor Lehman at the Hyde
Park hideaway, and did not ask Vice
President Garner to a White House
legislative conference. This was
unusual, and appeared to be a slap
at Texas Jack, who is an anti-Third
Termite, and a rival of Roosevelt
in avowed terms. Texas Jack, how
ever, is singularly nonsensitive to
such digs, and went his own sweet,
"poker-playing" way.
LABORITIS:
John L. Lewis, car of c. I. O.,
took a beating on the Jersey front.
There, the laborite Non-partisan
league took vote and pumped for
Third Termism, even though the
big chief is against it.
The Utility Workers Organizing
committee in New York city de-
manded that Mrs. Gilmore M. Her
rick be fired by the much-beaten Ma
tional Labor Relations board. The
NLRB, however, refused the urge,
did not send her to st. Helena,
where her opponents thought she
belonged.
SHANGHAI VOTE:
In a rather disreputable election,
English potentates won control
again of the municipal council of
the International Settlement, at
Shanghai, China. japanese proper
ty holders made serious effort, but
lost. Nippon say: Better luck next
year. Shanghai, worlds sinkhole of
corrupt plutocracy, has roughly
$4,000 voters (nearly all foreigners)
in a population of 31z million souls.
The election was won by using dunn
my voters, via fake real estate deals
as only property holders may ballot.

CONSPIRACY AND TREASON

forces was effected by the high
est type of conspiracy and trea-
son, according to special infor-
nation revealed by the Chicago
Daily News. According to this
source, Oslo and other important
Norwegian seaports easily fell
into the hands of the invaders
because of a gigantic conspiracy
that included bribery, extraordi-
nary infiltration, and treason on
the part of few important Nor
wegian defense officials.

Roads Built of Cotton

Results of one-year study of
these roads by the National Cotton
council show that cotton has no ma
terial value for such purposes. The
councils investigation showed that
the tensile strength of the fabric,
as used at the present time, de-
teriorates to such an extent as to
prevent its playing any important
part in preserving the road or in
reducing materially the main
tenance cost.

Washington, Oct. 29.-(AP)-The
State department has been informed
by the French embassy, it was learn
ed today, that French negotiations
with Germany involved no tel
ritory concessions or the ''usc Of
French strategical bases" by the axis
powers.
The information was cOmmunlcat-
cd informally and did not constitute
an answer by the Vichy government
to the message sent by President
Roosevelt to Marshal Petain last
week concerning French possessions
in the western hemisphere.
The embassy also issued state
mcnt containing essentially the same
information. as follows:
"Thcre is no foundation to rumorS
of peace negotiations or territory
ccsSionS by the French government
to Germany or Italy OF use Of French
strategical bases by those powers or
curtaiImcnt of French sovereignty in
any part of France or her empire"
