RUSSIANS:
Refuse Peace

An effort by the Nazis to make
peace with Russia in order that
their armies might hibernate in
their present positions and re-
new the war in the spring was in
dignantly turned aside by the Soviet,
which had the victory taste in its
mouth and was not to be denied.
Daily dispatches from Red army
headquarters continued to develop
the victory not only on the southern
front, where it all started, but in
front of Moscow as well, where the
Russians said the German retreat

CHINESE:
Fight jap Rear

Though the troops necessarily
were of the guerrilla type, there were
reports that the Chinese were max
ing a serious and important attack
on the Japanese rear in the Canton
neighborhood, a most welcome di-
version as the British sought to
hang onto Hongkong.
Hongkong was reported complete
ly surrounded by Japanese troops,
and the British did admit that their
troops had been withdrawn from
Kowloon, its stronghold on the main
land, about 20 miles north of Hong
kong itself.
The British, however, had said ii
was part of their plan to abandon
Kowloon and to concentrate on a
defense of hilly Hongkong itself.
The Chinese attack, they said,
tended to divert the Japanese from
attempting to attack Hongkong
from the Kowloon side.
Messages of cheer following the
triple war declarations went back
and forth from time to time between
the British and American command
ers and Chang Kai-shek at Chung
king.

JAPANESE SPIES

Last summer Congressman Martin
Dies had investigators make thor
ough survey of Japanese activities
along the West coast. The results
eventually were suppressed by the
state department and the President
himself, but a brief summary of
them indicates that some parts of
the United States face dangerous
problem when it comes to fifth col
umn activity.
Hitler had many agents planted
through Norway, France and the
Low Countries when he attacked,
but the Japanese, according to the
Dies report, start out with 10000
of their countrymen in the United
States. These are all Japanese citi-
zens, and do not include $4,000 sec
ond generation Japanese born in the
United States. The Dies report
shows that 200 key Japanese have
been decorated by the emperor dur
ing the past two years and that
many japanese are in close coop
Grafton with the homeland through
the Central Japanese association
which has been directed by consul
lates in California.
Dies agents have collected photo
graphs of various Japanese truck
gardens operated alongside oil tanks
and strategic railroads. Also they
report 5000 japanese residing on
terminal islands in Los Angeles har-
Dor, where are located strategic oil
tanks, Reeves field and a shipbuild-
ing company. Oil storage tanks
blown up in the harbors would en-
danger all of the Los Angeles area.
The most revealing documents
seized by Dies agents are maps,
showing all the U. S. strategic points
and Notifications, and naval man.
ual showing the size of all Ameri-
can naval vessels.
The naval manual, published in
1941, is so up to date that it even
shows latest models of U. S. mos
quito boats together with the Presi-
Dental yacht Potomac and the plan
of U. S. airplane carriers. The To-
cation of guns, engine room, etc.,
is indicated alongside the photo
graph of each vessel. 1t must have
taken japanese agents months or
years to collect this data.

PATERSON


WHITE COLLAR WORKER
is THE FORGOTTEN MAN
ON A BIG munitions plant being
built with government money at
Wilmington, Ill.,, carpenters are
paid $25 day; men trundling
wheelbarrows or working with pick
or shovel are paid $l6 and SIT day.
In Chicago, so miles away, the
clerical forces working in the Of
fees of business and industry are
being paid from SIT to $35 a week.
The carpenters and laborers in
Wilmington may, and do, dress in
coveralls; they change shirts pos
sibly once week; they wear
coarse, unshined shoes; they enjoy
the lower rentals of the rural dis
tricts.
The clerical worker in Chicago,
if he is to hold his job, must have
clean shirt every day; he must
wear white collar; there must be
a crease in his trousers; his shoes
must be kept cleaned and shined;
he must pay the much higher rent
ais of the city. His income will
average about one-sixth of that Of
the carpenter at Wilmington.
To meet the ever-increasing de-
mand of taxes and labor, and to
continue to operate, business and
industry have been forced to econo-
mize in every possible way. The
white collar man has paid the bill.
He is the forgotten man" of today.

Another japanese map seized by
Dies agents is revealing in the ex-
IRENE. It shows the layout of the
American fleet in a typical battle
formation near Hawaii. u. S. naval
officers confirm the fact that the
map correctly shows past naval ma
neuverS.
The documents show the details of
Pearl Harbor, the Panama canal,
San Francisco, Manila, Guam and
Vladivostok. They also give the nor
NAL cruising radius of the U. S. fleet
out of Honolulu, together with the

The Nazis, they said, were blow
ing up tanks in the path of the adj
vancing Russians, and were aban-
doning hundreds of vehicles and
guns.
War cannot be fought at II de-
grees below zero, Hitler had told
his people in announcing that ''no
further effort at advance would be
made in Russia during the winter"
Eyes it can," shouted the Rus
slams, as, dressed, in their warm
clothing and with the enthusiasm
given them by one success after an
other they continued to move the
Germans back.
The Reds figures were so large
as to be almost unbelievable. They
claimed $4,000 Germans killed in
front of Moscow.
Their total claim for German
losses during the entire campaign
was 100000 dead, wounded, pris-
oners.
Though the Russians did not i'm
mediately declare war on Japan,
Litvinoff, new emissary to Washing
ton, called Japan 'the common
enemy" another "of the gang of
Axis criminals" and indicated that
Russia would be glad to ''do any
thing to help"

WILL AID IN THE FIGHT

DOOR COUNTY, Wisconsin, that
strip of land that separates Lake
Michigan from Green Bay and OF
which the town of Sturgeon Bay is
the county seat, was settled origi-
nally by Scandinavian, Belgian and
Dutch farmers. The well-kept
farms of today, made from the land
from which their ancestors cut the
heavy pine timber, are in the hands
of the second and third generations
Of the original settlers. These farm
ers, many of them with kinfolks in
the countries enslaved by Hitler,
are enjoying the opportunity of
building sub-chasers to destroy Ger
man submarines. At the shipyards
in Sturgeon Bay, far removed from
the scene of conflict, is being built
a fleet of the little boats that are
destined to see service in the Allan
tic, and the yards are manned by
Scandinavian, Belgian and Dutch
farmers.

TAKE TO THE HILLS

A FEW NIGHTS AGO I sat in an
audience, the men of which consist
ed largely of big game hunters, SOL
diers of fortune, explorers-men
who had been to the uttermost ends
of the earth and whose lives have
been filed with hair-raising adven-
ture. The speaker of the evening
was a little, happy-faced woman and
her subject was her mountain farm
home in the Ozarks. She talked about
the charming characteristics of the
Ozark hills people and their simple,
uneventful lives, of pet lambs and
puppy dogs, of quiet evenings be-
fore the fireplace in a log house,
of wild flowers and fruits, and she
held that audience of che" men as
no lion hunter had ever held them.
She demonstrated that it is the SIM
pie pleasures that have most APP
peal. The speaker was Mrs. Marge
Lyon, author of ''Take to the Hills"

WAR CHAFF

q. 1t was significant that japanese
struck first not at the Philippines,
which is armed to the teeth with
heavy bombers, but at Hawaii. Ha-
waii had sent its best war planes
on to the Philippines If the
navy had read the newspapers it
might have been better prepared.
G Constantine Brown, foreign affairs
expert of the Washington Star, pre-
dicted war with Japan 10 days in
advance and named Sunday, Decem-
Der z, as the starting date.
q Current sight is always easier
than foresight, by looking back
wards it might have been better
not to have arrested all those Ger
man spies. j. Edgar Hoover was
running a radio station for them,
though they didn't know it, and had
possession of the secret Nazi code.
Continued possession of that code
might have revealed the hook-up be-
tween Hitler and the japanese war
lords and the plans for attack.
However, the justice department
wanted to show that Dies was not
the only one who was chasing spies
and overruled Hoover's arguments.

LIBYAN FRONT:

The disaster to German and Ital-
ian forces in Libya continued to
grow and expand, as the invaders
had fallen back to Derna, with the
British in close pursuit and constant
ly whiting down the enemy.
The African theater of war thus
found the imperial forces on the Of
fensive still, with one encircling
movement being carried on after
another by small mobile forces, and
the German divisions under Gener-
al Rommell unable to reform into
one battle unit.

MORE THAN JAP CAN CHEW


WITH HIS BIG TEETH, the little
brown man of the Pacific will find
he has bitten off more than he can
chew. When the end is reached,
the Japs will be back on their is
lands. They will have lost Korea,
Manchukuo, their foothold in China
and Indo-C hina, and the hundreds of
small inundated islands in the Pa
cific. The war they so treacherous-
ly started will set them back to the
days of Perry, and Japan, as a
great nation, as world power, will
pass from the picture.
RESEARCH
INDUSTRIAL LABORATORIES
are responsible for much of our
present high standard of living. To
them we are indebted for those es-
sentials that provide the joy of liv-
ing and the creation of millions of
jobs that provide a livelihood for
American families. The investment
our industrial organizations put into
their experimental laboratories and
the money spent to keep them at
work has paid large dividends for
the nation. And it has put it also in
the forefront of progress.

HOME OF REAL CULTURE

OUR GREAT CITIES have no
monopoly on culture. It is not a prod
uct of the night club, the cocktail
lounge or the off-color theatrical
production. It is a product of the
schools, the churches, of a clean
living, home-loving people, such as
those found in the rural sections of
America.
Culture does not breed Hitlers,
Mussolinis or Stains. It breeds
love, not hate. Among a cultured
class you do not find a subversive
element seeking to destroy an es-
tablished philosophy of government.
The Dies committee does not find
enemies of our American form of
government among our rural popu-
lation. 1t is in the small town and
on the farm where you find a love
of country, respect for its laws and
its institutions. 1t is there you find
the intelligence that is the founda-
ton of culture.
The American rural community is
the real home of American culture.

NATIONAL INCOME

THE department of commerce
tells us the national income in 1902
amounted to $1,000, 100000 and in
1910 it was $73, 300, 900, 900. In 80
years we had multiplied the nation
al income more than four times; we
had more than four times as much
to divide in 1910 than in 1902. That
was accomplished despite wars and
depressions. It was accomplished
under the American system of free
competition.
