RECALLING THE BATTLE
OF NORWAY

MAJOR BURG, head Of the nu-
nicipal government Of the little city
of Narvik, Norway, at the time of
the German invasion, told me that
when the town was the battle-ground
between the invading Germans and
the Norwegian and English forces,
10000 were killed in the fight.
The major had been condemned
to be shot by the Germans but es-
capped over the mountains to Swe-
den, then through Russia and ST.
IBERIA to America. In Narvik he was
young lawyer, not over IS. He
left a wife and small daughter, who
escaped to the far north and were
still living there several months ago
when he last heard from them. He
insists Norway viii again be free
nation.
DIVIDING
WE, each one Of us, are inclined
to endorse the form of socialism
that would divide with us what the
other fellow has, but we object to
dividing what we have with the 9TH
er fellow. If what you have--land,
houses, tools, cars, furniture, or 9TH
er things-has value of as much
as 2,325, you have your full share
of all the wealth Of the nation, in
GLIDING all the farms, homes, live
stock, railroads, merchandise, etc.
If you have more, you might be
called upon to divide.

neutrality. Ankara still has many strings in, its hands Through spokesmen and the controlled press, however Turkey gives the impression that she will act in accord with Britain at the moment she con- sders most advantageous for her defense This may not help Greece time. Turkey, too may be anxi- ous about the stand of Yugoslava. Turkish in- decision may be only allowing Hitler to pick the time of attack.
 If Greece is able to maintain her heroic deter imitation to fight if Turkey resolutely supports her. if Yugosavia is not cowed by Nazi threats if Rus sia supplies the material aid which it would be ogi- cal for her to supply France ressts all dishonor- able demands, if Spain and Portugal remain true neutras and if do not stint the aid the embattled opponents of Hitlerism have right to expect from us, the whole castle of German conquest may well crumble into dust. These many ifs" It may be illogical to expect them all to come true Ger tainy would be contrary to the history of the last two years.
 But now the Nazi octopus is unmasked. No na- tion have ground for hope that if it sacri-
 fees its neighbor it may be spared. for it is to be seen that the conquerors appetite grows with each feeding. No nation has right to hope for the future of its honor, it's independence, or even its existence except that hope relies upon deter mination not to compromise with the aggressor.

also was calculated to coincide with the spring and favorable weather.
 So U. s. observers now figure that Hitler will pick a period in March when he is fairly sure to have one week of good weather, plus favorable tides in the English Channel.
 Most favorable weather for bomb ing England is one of fairly low clouds, so that Nazi bombers can fly above them, then dive suddenly below the clouds where they can see their target, and release their bombs.
 Real fact is that the Royal Air Force licked Hitler's Luftwaffe last summer and licked it badly. So Hitler is almost certain to move carefully this time, picking the type of cloudy weather most likely to help him. Furthermore, U. s. air experts who have been studying the British preparations are convinced that Hitler will have to send across the Channel almost everything he's got.

attitude was the case of Elwood Ind, home town of Wendell Will kie, which has been ghost city since the big tin mill shut down. Badly needing a new industry, and strategically located, the city did its part toward securing an ord- nance factory by getting low price for the vacant mill.
 So the Navy located it's new ordnance plant in Indianapolis, where it promptly ran into the irate opposition of the citizenry.
 The Army, on its part, submit ted nine sites to the Defense Con- mission, six of them in crowded, exposed Eastern centers. When Davis and his group protested, the Army replied that contracts al- ready were drawn and 1t would take weeks to change them. In other words, the Commission had no choice except to approve what the brass hats had decided on.
 The bulk .of Army and Navy contracts has gone to five areas the Eastern seaboard, Ohio Valley, southern California, Birmingham, Alabama, and Kansas City. Big gest lump during the first six months of rearmament went to New Jersey, with Massachusetts second and Virginia third.

 FLORIDA SHIP CANAL
 The Florida ship canal is in the news again, and its packers declare they have 52 votes, or more than enough to pass it. But they are worried over legislative move to combine this project with the St. Lawrence waterway-with the pro- bable result that both would be sunk together.
 Roosevelt has told them he fa- vors a bill to authorize construc- tion of the canal. provided no ap- propriation is asked for. He wants no more drains on the Treasury at the present time.
 This gives Fqoridians a toe-hold, and they are not asking any more. But they don't want the issue tangled up with the St. Lawrence waterway fight.

TENANT FARMERS

The President is not losing sight of domestic problems in the weltel of foreign affairs - and recently kept his very precise Under Secre- tary of State, Sumner Welles, wait- ing an hour while he threshed out a farm relief problem.
 Representatives John Tolan of California and John Sparkman of Alabama had called to protest against a $25,OOO,0OO cut in farm rehabilitation loans, cut made by the Budget Bureau in the Agri- culture Department appropriation.

Seeking Assurances?

Cincinnati Enqurer)
 It is altogether probable that the visit of Japa- nese Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka to Berlin (and perhaps Rome, to keep up appearances) is in tended more find out what the Axis has to offer Japan than to report what Japan has to offer the Axis.
 As far as observers see, all that Germany and Italy have had to offer Japan, up to now, is the diversion of Englands strength and America s interest while the Land the Rising Sun steals the worthwhile things of the far Pacific. This, however, is merely the incidental effect of the Axis war against the democracies. Neither Germany Italy has, as far as known, given Japan any absolute as- surance either of protection support should she enter the war.
 With the stiffening of Americas attitude toward Japan it has become increasingly apparent that what Berlin's promises amount to- in the final analysis, is that Japan have what she wants merely by fighting the United States and the spare strength of The Netherlands and the British Com monweath of Nations. Nor has the substantial reinforcement of Singapore with men, planes and materials made the German offer" to Japan any more generous.
 It may be that out of Matsuoka's visit to Berlin may grow concrete reassurances, providing for Japanese action in the Pacific to coincide with the German "all-out' offensive But the very fact that he is going suggests that no such arrangements exist.
 Offhand, there appear only two major things that Berlin might do to make Japans advertised role in the Axis strategy more appetizing to Tokyo. She might promise a sizable part of the luftwaffe to provide Japan with the greater air strength she would need in attacking Britain and the United States. Or she might for Japan non- aggression pact from Russia assuring that Moscow is sufficiently susceptible to German pressure.
 If Matsuoka is smart-and there is reason to assume otherwise-he will demand both, and then some.

Since the beginning of Adolf Htlers career of conquest there has not yet been time when the nconquered nations acting resolutely in concert, could not have called halt to his program.
 But so far most of them have succumbed, vic- tins of their failure to act in time to save their interests. Holland. Belgium, and Norway are paying terrible price for their attempts to remain neutral. France fell and England is in mortal dan- ger because they waited so long, standing idly by while Germany remitarized the Rhine seized Aus tra and swallowed Czechoslovakia. Rumania sur rendered rather than fight-and now she may have to fight at the command of the power which has stripped her of her wealth and independence.
 Another crisis in the Nazi of conquest is at hand, and again it is a time when the uncon- quered nations-though fewer in number now-still have it within their power to stop Hitlerism short of mastery of all the Eastern Hemisphere
 Our army will fight on if necessary, in Thrace, as it has in Epirus and Greece will show the world how to die as she has shown it how to fight"
 This is the answer of the Greeks to Nazi prom ises that if Athens will come to terms with Rome the German Army will not attack toward Salonika The phraseology is that of George Vlahos the na- tions most influential editorial writer, in Kathmer- ini the Athens Daily. But his words echoed officially by foreign office spokesman who points out that "any proposal for an armistce in the war with Italy would find Greece dsdainfully hostile"
 These not idle boasts. They not the expressions of overconfidence. Greece knows her limitations. Vahos, in the editorial quoted above, said that without British help Greece could not have hoped to make the resistance she has.
 Now, with the Italians still at bay in Albania and the Nazis ready at any moment to attack the Bulgarian frontier Greece needs support and needs it desperately Athens has, therefore asked Turkey to bluntly whether she will live up fo Inc rlact of Uhp themselves to defend the Thracan frontier by force of arms and to the Balkan Entente treaty of 1884
 Turkey has not replied. Neither has she an- swered the overture made by Hitler for Turkish

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline 5r
 bat do rot compel"
THURSDAY, MARCH 20

Until late today adverse plane tary aspects dominate. There is a portent causing apprehension to bankers and heads of big business The stars encourage the signing of contracts.
 Heart and Home. Women should pursue routine matters. Optimism should be cultivated, especially by those whose sons and other male relatives are preparing for service in the Army and Navy. Air force pilots are to prove their extra ordinary ability in feats of hero- ism and resourcefulness. In addi- tion, they will be very successful in love affairs. This is a promis- ing day for letters. Good news will come to many girls.
 Business Affairs: Mobilization of the natural resources of the Unit ed States will contribute to the prosperous outlook of business through the year. Manufacturing will develop through the introduc- i tion of novel inventions Refugees who are trained scientists will prove exceedingly helpful in defense pro- grams. Exports will increase next month. In Washington, leading en- gineers and noted chemists will gain fame through their valuable work.
 National Issues: Certain aspects of the stars encourage criticism of persons in authority. This will be evident in Congress and among those who nourish personal ambi- tions. Because Americans are easily hypnotized by independent ideas there may be insidious effects even among the men who have Been drafted. Fifth columnists win take advantage of whatever disturbs faith in American leadership. The seers warn that unity is impera- tive, if the United States is tc demonstrate the power of democra- | cy. ,.,,,-,. International Affairs: Evil otnens for Britain are discerned in cer- tain aspects which presage terrible tests to the heroic nation next month. Nazi attacks by sea and air are to be intensified. With Mars rising in Capricorn a martial spirit will pervade India. There is a sign which seems to promise spec tacular or unexpected aid from the United States, through some new invention or the amazing expeuit- ing of airplane production. Secret forces are believed to be working for the final triumph of right, but victory will be bought at terrible cost.
 Persons whose birthdate it k have the augury of year of fail success in business. Money shollc be plentiful. There will be temp tation to indulge in sentimerta friendships.
 Children born on this day prob. ably will be intense in nature and brilliant in mentality. They may be easily deceived. because ! they will believe what is best of every one.

PLANTS FOR DEFENSE


 So far it doesn't look as if the strategic plan to scatter defense industries throughout the American West, where they would be less vulnerable to attack, is on its way to being carried out.
 On the contrary, Army and Navy brass hats, thumbing their noses at the Defense Commission, have punched the new factories into a few crowded and vulnerable indus trial areas. Even protests by Roo- sevelt have been ignored.
 The military argument is that to scatter the new plants away from established production centers would slow up the whole program. But il is significant that the most ada mant resistance to locating defense plants in the "hinterland" comes from the giant firms that have been getting the cream of defense contracts.
 They want the new plants locat- ed near theirs, SO that when the national emergency is over the companies can absorb the plants easily and cheaply.
 This issue has caused sharp clashes behind the closed doors of the Defense Commission. Chester Davis, agriculture coordinator, backed by Leon Henderson, price control, Sidney Hillman, labor, and Miss Harriet Elliott, consumers, have repeatedly stormed against Army and Navy plant awards-but the brass hats listen politely and then do ss they please.
 Usually siding with them have been William Knudsen and Edward R. Stettinius, the big-industry members of the Commission. Knud- sen sometimes comedies the logic Of Davis arguments, but shrinks from oyerruling the military.
