Hitler AS A Prophet

Although Adolf Hitler, in his address to his
troops, again predicted an early victory for
Nazi arms, there must be times when he,
himself, hes dark misgivings. As he looks to
the west he sees England still standing, reso-
lutte and undismayed. In the Balkans the ap.
pearance is one of well-being but the sha-
dow of the Soviet is edging closer. Along the
Mediterranean and in Africa the Italian forces
are retreatng steadily before the foe and thus
weakening the military prestige Of the entire
Axis.
= Certainly there is nothing in the present or
the recent past to give the Fuehrer comfort
ard satisfaction. He thought his soldiers would
be in England by last September and they
remain encamped across the channel. He said
his bombing planes would break the British
spirit and once more he was revealed as a
false prophet. He expected Mussolini to hold
the line and he found only further d~isappoint-
ment.
OF course Hitler still speaks boastfully and
with an arrogance characteristic Of dictators.
A typical piece Of effrontery is his statement
that almighty God will not leave those who,
threatened by the world, with their courageous
hearts are helping themselves"
Considering what has happened to religion
and to thousands of devout churchmen under
the Nazi regime, a declaration of this sort
borders on the infamous. 1t could come with
poorer grace only from Goddess Russia.

The Right Tip-Once

The next time anyone is looking for a proph-

told the residents of Amsterdam, N. Y, to
expect a series Of earthquakes during 1941 be-
cause of planetary action" Five hours later
the town felt its first earth shock.
One can hardly complain because a prophecy
comes true a few days ahead of time. But it
would be interesting to know what emotions
passed through the prophetic lecturers mind
when the earth started rumbling. Was it ella

that a prediction glibly spoken had suddenly
turned out to be accurate?
Unfortunately, we shall probably never

New Taxes

Senators Connally and Johnson are merely
stating a harsh and inescapable fact when
they say that heavy new income taxes to
finance national defense are in the must
class.
The billions which this nation is pouring
into battle craft, guns and planes must be
paid for somehow, either out of new taxes or
borrowed funds. These new tax revenues can
not be drawn from any special class. They
will have to be the kind of taxes that every.
body pays. That is the only possible way in
which the government can get the revenue it
needs and, in our opinion, the American people
would rather have it that way. Building a ma.

tional defense is a truly national effort and
we cannot believe that there is any Ameri-
can so selfish and unpatriotic that he does
not want to bear his share of the load.
But, while this is true, while people will
bear the necessary burdens cheerfully, it is
also essential for congress to couple new tax
alton with every possible economy it can make.
We cannot hope to bear the burden Of waste
fui and non-essential spending at a time like
this. Congress must first pare non-defense
spending to the bone. That is an absolutely

Walter L. Parsley

Long retired from active participation in
the lumber business his father had established
and he had expanded, Walter L. Parsley spent
the later years of his life in the charitable
activities his wife had carried on. In provid-
ing this newspaper with certain facts of Mr..
Parsley's life, which were incorporated in the
article announcing his death, Judge George
Rountree, who had been his friend for many
years, had this to say of him:
MIR. Parsley was not only an able bust
ness man and successful, but he was a
man of the highest character, generous
and genuinely benificient. His wife was,
with his entire approval, one of the most
charitable of people and supported many
worthy causes. After her death Mr.. Pars-
ley was assiduous to carry on to the
best of his ability all of her good works
and they were numerous. No worthy cause
appealed to him or was brought to his
attention, without an immediate and gen
erous response. Until he grew somewhat
deaf, Mr.. Parsley was faithful in h i
church attendance and always was active
in supporting the church and it's causes.
Mr.. Parsley was always interested in
water sports and Was a keen yachtsman
and probably the best sailor among all
those who took part in the races at the
Carolina Yacht Club.
He lived in the latter years a quiet and
unostentatious life but administered a gra-
cious hospitality at his home on Masonboro
sound, and he will be sorely missed by
the humber people of the sound.
Wilmington has reason to be grateful tina
Mr.. Parsley was spared so many years to b,
employed in unostentacious service for man
kind.

Gloomy New Year To You

Of all the millions upon millions of New
Years messages which were spread over the
globe on Wednesday last, the one addressed by
Foreign Minister Matsuoka to the Japanese
people is in many ways the most unusual.
Mr.. Matsuoka was addressing a people which
dedicated itself to the mission of imposing
a new order upon Asia and the world. He
was speaking to a nation which is allied by
solemn treaty to the triumphant armies of
Adolf Hitler and the not SO triumphant armies
of Benito Mussolini. But his message, in sharp
of the dictators of the west, was stepped in
gloom.
I'm my innermost heart" said Mr.. Matsuo-
ka, II fear the coming year will prove a most
tragic and unfortunate one for all mankind.
I pray that God and all God-fearing people
will cooperate with me in saving 1941 from
being the first year of the decline and fall of
modern civilization"
Having said so much, we rather wish that
the Japanese foreign minister had gone on to
explain the source of his unhappy thought.
For there are only two apparent ways to in.
terpret this gloom. One is that Mr.. Matsuoka
fears that 1871 is going to be an extremely
bad year for the army and people of Japan
and those of her allies. The other is that he
is afraid of what will happen if the triple Axis
succeeds in imposing its new ORDER on the
world. .
Perhaps we are wrong in attempting tc
fathom the subtleties of the complex Japan
csc mind. But the japanese are a funny race
indeed if they can get any encouragement out
OF a message SO direful.

. Man About Manhattan
BY GEORGE TUCKER

Now there lived in Washington
the famous cartoonist, Clifford Ber-
ryman, and when word of Roose.
velt's trophy got into the news,
Bergman recorded the incident
for posterity in one of his cartoons.
This became so talked-about that
ever afterward Bergman used the
bear as his symbol
The little bear caught the public
fancy at the time and because OF
its connection with Roosevelt it was
dubbed 'teddy-bear."
Among the thousands who no.
ticed the Teddy" was Thomas
Michtom, who has come to the U.
S. from Russia in 1889. Michtom
then and there decided to build a
toy around the bear in Berryman's
drawing.
OF course, there had been toy
bears before, just as there had
been toys of other animals, but
the "teddy-bear' was distinctive
because, for one thing, it's front
paws were shorter than its hind
feet, and it had shoe-button eyes.
Furthermore, it was always sit
ting down, rather than standing up
as bears do in real life.
And so, from this small begin.
ming the ''teddy-bear" has grown
into the classic of all native
American toys.
Well, that's the story of the ted
dy-bear. Did Michtom invent him?
Or was it Theodore Bear?
In any case, it is nice to note
that Santa Claus delivered his usu-
al budget of the little fellows on
Dec. Is last. Like the Plymouth
Rock and the Mississippi river, I
think it may safely be said that
the teddy-bear is here to STAY. l

America Not Immune

Our isolationists, who insist that the Nazis
have no designs on this country, could pick up
some information which, if they are open to
argument, would help to disillusion them in
the hook. II Saw France FALL" by Rene de
Chambrun, a descendant of Lafayette and
for that reason a citizen of the United States
and half American besides by virtue Of having
an American mother.
De Chambrun went through the military
campaign in France and escaped to England
in the great hygera following the Nazi occupa-
ton by donning French peasant raiment found
in a deserted home and mixing with the ref
ugees. In his book, published in this country
by William Morrow & Company, he tells OF
his first war prisoner, a lieutenant-pilot OF a
Heinkel bomber, and of their talk while his
wounded knee was being dressed.
Acknowledging that the Nazi fliers knew
practically nothing of the military operations
then in progress, the German gave a good &C.
count of the Nazi doctrine which sets the Ger
mans aside as a superior race entitled to rule
the world. A brief extract from the chapter
in de Chambrun's book dealing with the cpl
sode confirms what we had previously known
of Hitler's plans to bring the United States,
along with the rest of the world, into the Nazi
Writes de Chambrun:
The Nazi lieutenant told me that Ger
many had no grievance against France,
except that she thought France should not
have equal rights with a Germany with
double the population and twice as strong.
He stated that Germany's real enemy was
Great Britain, the power of which had to
be destroyed: The German race, he add
ed, was a superior and a privileged one;
and only under German leadership could
world peace be restored. Just as Great
Britain will have to accept the conditions
we lay down in the interest of civilization,
so will eventually Japan and the United
States"

Japan had become a member of the Axis part.

look forward to a day when this country

world affairs? OF one thing they may be GER
