The people there are tall and thin
And never, never fat;

And never up like us

Are most ridiculous.
In Shadow Land. in Shadow Land,
The houses always lean,
And there no lights in house or

Are ever to be SEEN:
No little paths with garden gates,
No little stairs or floors,
For Shadow folk run up their walls
And creep beneath their doors.

The truth is there is not today

requirements on aluminium any,
where in the Government. America
today could be producing much more
aluminium if electric power had
been provided. The real bottleneck
is Secretary Ickes, who refused to
grant the electric power asked for
by the aluminium company last
February. Realizing that he has
committed a blunder, the Secretary
is doubtless trying to raise a smoke
screen now to avoid criticism. But
some day the facts will be revealed
by an impartial investigation in
Congress and the country will get
the truth about alleged aluminium
shortages. The fact is the American
aviation program cannot progress as
fast as the announced figures on
bomber construction for reasons
which have nothing to do with
aluminium, and the United States
and Canada can pretty we'll keep
abreast of aviation requirements for
aluminium from about the end of

Requests Of Conquered Nations to Fight
Soyiets Called Clumsy Noz Propaganda

teriaD is as traditional as that Of
the Rumanians. But that ends
the nations willing to fight the
Soviets for the NaZis.
Won't Make NapOleOn's Mistake.
Furthermore, Hitler, although
a great admirer of Napoleon,
does not want to repeat his mis-
takes. Napoleon, after conquer
ing Europe, took troops from sub
jected nations, who bore no love
for the French, but who could
not help themselves, into the
French Army as separate units.
When the opportunity arose, they
turned on him. Some of these
troops had been French trained
and French equipped. 1t is pre-
posterous to imagine Hitler will
make that mistake. Germany
now has enough troops on the
Russian front TO defeat the
Soviet. There are no less than
100000 as a general reserve
in the Reich. II Russia cannot
be crushed with this force, Ger
many is through, and additional
forces from the French, the
Belgians, the Dutch, the Gro
atians, the italians cannot make
a German victory.

Therefore diplomatic quarters
believe the surprising call for all
the Europen nations to march
against Moscow is a somewhat
clumsy piece Of German prop
aganda, directed mostly at the
United States.

of the strong anti-Communist

Taking 1t for granted that wishful
thinking about German morale Is
dangerous, perhaps it is not un-
timely to wonder: What would you
be thinking about If you lived on
the River Rhine at Cologne?
In the first place, your pleasant
city, at the base of the busy Ruhr,
has been bombed just 73 times, al
though you can well remember that
Hermann Goering said two years
ago: I'VE will not expose the Ruhr
to a single bomb dropped by enemy
aircraft"
For II nights now your air raid
sirens have screamed and you had
to go to the cellar, although you got
no bombs last night, for change,
because the British were bit far
ther north, blasting at the Bremen
area. You may be sure, however,
that they will be back over Cologne
very soon, making the German
people taste and gulp each month
sharper dose of the miseries they
have showered upon mankind"
You heard Winston Churchill use
that expression if you listened, Sc
cretly, to the British wireless last
Sunday, and you did not like it.
You did not want this war; better
than other Germans you remember
the last, for Cologne was in the
heart of the Rhineland occupied
zone, and you, as child, were very
thin and hungry.

of banditry on the part of the
Fuehrer, but as necessary
purge of the worlds most damag-
ing influence. The Germans
themselves know that there Is
little difference, as far as
theology goes, between Com
munism and NaZi-ism. A lead
ing German induStrialist recently
was asked by one of the officers
of General Motors Corp. the
difference between the two
political PHILOSOPHERS. The an
Swer was TT is so much colder
in Moscow"
But since the Western democ-
rac1es are so frightened by Com
munism - which set Nazi-ism
rolling-the German diplomats
would give the impression that
the Reich is doing a sanitary
work for the rest of the world.
This would make so much more
acceptable an eventual peace
offensive, which it is believed will
be launched as soon as the Ger
mans troops enter Moscow.

which you had to fight on such a
long front last time. was on your
side; you were told again and again
that the Fuehrer would never fight
on two fronts. And there you were,
safe, right behind the Siegfried
Line!
But the bombs came-the first,
May 20, 1910, while you were so
happy about the great victory in
the west. That night they hit the
railway yards; they have hit them
many times since; also the cham
ical plant, the oil refinery, the mys-
terious munitions factory; even,
this spring, the approaches to the
Hohenzollern Bridge.
But you could take It; the
Fuehrer promised victory and peace
in 194l.
Now, you suddenly are at war
with Russia. You cannot figure
that out. You know it very we'll to
be true, however. The Rhineland
may be long way from Russia, but
you are feeling this phase of the
war much more than the Germans
who live closer to the eastern bor-
der. This week, you have had
three times the bombs in every raid
that you got month ago and the
British planes sound hundreds
strong. You do not see so many OF
your own planes about, either.
Your Hans and Rudi have gone
away with the army. You have
not heard from them for a long

news, but you are afraid they may

American shipments Of oil and
other vitally needed supplies to
French North African colonies-in-
terrupted by Vichy's collaboration"
with Germany in Syria-are to be
resumed as a result of a new under
standing between the United States,
Great Britain and France.
After prolonged diplomatic dis
cussions revolving around the future
status of the colonies-strategic
located on Africa's Mediterranean
shores and possessing several naval
bases-the British naval authorities
at Bermuda yesterday permitted the
French oil tanker Scheherazade to
resume It's voyage from the United
States to Casablanca.
A British warship seized the tanker
at sea, despite an American-British-
French agreement designed to re-
store normal trade between the
United States and Morocco, TuniSia
and Algiers, when German war
planes were discovered to be utilizing
air bases in French inundated Syria
for attacks on the British forces in
Iraq
Weygand Assurances Reported.
While no official statement was
issued in Washington or London, 1t
was said in informed quarters here
that the shipments would not have
been resumed unless Great Britain
and the United States had received
adequate assurances that Gen. Max
ime Weygands army would not be-
come involved in major military ac-
ton against the British. and that
the North African colonies would not
be turned over to the Nazis for mil
itary uses.
The war in French-mandated
Syria has been localized between
British and Free French forces, on
one side and French colonial troops,
mostly Syrians and Arabs, on the
other.
The decision to permit resumption
of shipments of needed supplies to
the North African colonies also
closely follows authoritative reports
from Vichy that no action would
be taken now against French terri

French forces of Gen. Charles de
