An Appraisal of
Killers Business Methods

Truth is anything that helps the
German cause" Thus spake Hitler.
And Douglas Miller, IS years in
the American embassy in Berlin.
Commercial attache for last five
years during the Nazi regime) tells
the following story in his new book
which has made a considerable stir
in Washington, You Can't Do Bust
ness With Hitler Little, Brown &
Coz:
While the commercial treaty with
Germany guaranteeing the United
States equal treatment with other
nations was still extant, Mr.. Miller
discovered that Denmark was be-
ing given preferential treatment in
regard to importations Of lard by
Germany. He called on the foreign
Office to protest and was told that
America was treated precisely as
any other country. Mr.. Miller pro-
duced evidence that Denmark was
given a Is per cent larger quota
than the United States. l quote the
rest from Mr.. Miller's book:
The German official appeared
to be only slightly embarrassed.
He reached into his desk and
pulled out the German text Of
the identical treaty and ex-
planned that was the way things
were done nowadays.
said. We'll, what can we do,
now"
He said. You can file a pro-
test"
Eyes, but we have already
fled a great number Of protests,
many Of which have not even
been answered and none Of
which appeared to do any good"
took my hat and started for
the door. The official accom-
panied me to the door and said:
Il hope this little incident will
not disturb our friendly personal
relations. because I want you to
remember that I have to carr
my living somewhere"

VICHY:
Still Sinking

The Vichy government, helpless
against Germany and Italy, and
equally helpless against Britain, as
see in the Syrian debacle, was
seen as sinking more into a position
of powerlessness by the announce
ment that if Japan moves on Indo-
China that Vichy will have no
course but to submit.
This far-eastern menace of the
war. threatening as it would the
Burma road, found Anthony Eden
warning Japan that severe steps
would be taken rather than yield
Indo-China to the Japanese, and this
was the ev%er-present closest threat
of the entry Of the U. S. actively into
the war.
The japanese newspapers. as
noted above. have been accusing the
British, Free French and Chinese
Of being about to invade Indo- China.
This was taken in London as a
yelled threat that Japan plans to do
Just that.

Pounding Auay

There was some sentiment In
Moscow. British reports stated, that
the Russians. used to enormous
land army maneuvers, were won-
dering why it was that the British
didn't land troops on the continent
now that the Russians had the Nazis
busy up to their necks in the east
The British were very frank in
saying mo" to this whole PROPOSE
ton. In the first place, said the
war office. there was still consider
able doubt whether the Russians
able to put up a really sue
cessful fight against the Germans.
In the second place, war office
authorities went on, the best that
England could do short Of landing
troops on the continent would be so
to slash away at the Reich by air
that numbers of German fighter
planes would be kept busy on the
west front, thus taking them away
from the eastern theater of war.
These air raids by the Raj.
were increasing in scope daily, with
the bombers taking advantage of
each minute Of darkness that was
added as the nights grew longer, to
stretch their raids further and fur
Their into Germany.
Already, it was pointed out, they
were hitting at the suburbs Of Ber-
lin. and the capital itself would
come in for strong blitzing be-
fore long. the British promised.

Victory in the West
Is Real Scare Drama

The other day l sat with a group
Of invited newsmen and a few army
officers and watched a movie called
Victory in the West" It was a
German propaganda film. showing
how the German army smashed
through the Low Countries and
France. 1t was seized as it was
being smuggled into South America
to impress our southern neighbors
with German might-and well it
might! The film was a wonderful
job in propaganda. photography and
scare" drama.
The military efficiency revealed in
that picture is a partial answer to
why the rivers Of western Europe
and later Russia, usually considered
such powerful obstacles against an
advancing army, were crossed SO
easily by the Germans. The movie
showed the German advance in the
Low Countries with dramatic shots
Of engineers swimming rivers,
crossing in frail rubber boats, and
building bridges under shell fire.
The German propaganda ex-
planned:
The men were led, not by officers
using telephones and written or
ders, but by officers who lay beside
their troops in the same dirt"
Later. an American official, famil-
lar. through long study with German
military methods. gave his explana-
ton Of German successes. He said:
1.-The Germans were led by trained
warriors, not one of whom v e had
a clerk or a desk"
Today in Washington there is a
quiet but persistent movement led
by General Marshall, chief Of staff.
to get rid Of American officers who
have difficulty functioning without
desks, stenographers, clerks and
caddies. For a long time the gen
eral has been working with congress
for legislation which would make il
possible to remove officers, young
or old. whose records show that
they are incompetent. Such a
measure is pending but there is
strong prejudice against it in some
circles.

SERVICE:
And House

Chief Of Staff General Marshall
went before the senate and evident
ly made a deep impression. Presi-
dent Roosevelt followed this with a
request for the passage Of legisla.
ton declaring a national emergen.
cy. and the sum Of these two ap-
pearances before the upper house
was evident in two ways:
First, an effort by administration
leaders to hustle the legislation to q
vote.
Second, a general upturn Of senti-
ment in favor Of the bill.
This was one of the oldest con
troversies since the World war start.
ed. The first feeling evidenced
when it was limited that the guards.
men and draftees might be kept in
service longer than the statutory
year was that the s~elective service
people themselves felt it a breach
Of faith with the drafted men.
The next phase came from the
selectees themselves. also from the
guardsmen. The officers and nom
CONS Of the latter seemed willing
to stay in. but many Of the private
soldiers among the guardsmen ex-
pressed voluble desires to be let
out.
In the midst Of this came the an
nouncement that all selectees Of %
and over would be deferred auto
matically, and the bill to this effect
passed the senate by a terrific mar
gin.
