HITLER BEHIND NAPOLEON

HITLER STRUCK at Russia at dawn on the
morning of June %. It is perhaps only CO.
Incidence that this was almost precisely the day OF
the year that Napoleon's invasion of Russia began
129 years ago. On Sunday, June 21, 1872, Ma
poleon had brought himself to within mile OF
two of actual invasion; on the 22d he surveyed
the Russian land from the west bank of the Me
men, and on the 23d his troops had thrown three
pontoon bridges across the river, and the first
contingents stepped on Russian soil.
Was it only coincidence that the dates of the
two invasions are almost Identical? Hitler, as he
has so often shown is no mere cold-blooded
strategist. The man who stage-managed the
capitulation of the French in the railway car in
the forest of Compiegne has strong taste for the
hiStriOnic. He had reversed history once before
he would reverse it again. Where Napoleon had
failed, he would succeed. Napoleon's army trav-
eled on foot and on horseback; Hitler's Travelled
on wheels and wings. With the gasoline engine,
with tanks capable of going more than thirty and
planes more than three hundred miles an hour,
the little Austrian would reveal how incomparably
faster his armies could move than those of the
little Corsican.
On the eighteenth of August Napoleon had
captured Smolensk; the Germans claimed the
capture of that city on July 16. Here Hitler had
beaten Napoleon by more than a month. But just
las Napoleon found the victory there an empty
one, because the Russian armies had retreated
Intact without offering resistance and had set fire
lin the town, so Hitler has found the capture OF
Smolensk hardly more profitable. But Napoleon's
vanguard entered Moscow on Sept. Ia, and No
poleon himself on the 15th-whie Hitler, with all
his tanks and planes, is not yet there. People may
still debate whether or not Hitler has fallen be-
hind his own schedule; he has certainly fallen be-
hind Napoleons.
If Hitler believes in omens, he can hardly call
lit good one to find himself even behind the dis
astrous timetable of the former master of Eu-
rope On that Sunday of June 2l 1872, when Ma
poleon was riding toward the banks of the Me
men River to survey the land he was about to in
wade, his horse stumbled. Either he or some one
nearby is declared to have muttered "a Roman
would have gone back"
We cannot afford to put our faith in omens
but some of those that have lately turned against
Hitler have been of a very practical kind.

OkEH, UNCLE SAM

IF THERE is shortage of steel, copper, nickel,
aluminium, zinc, or other materials for national
defense the industries and business interests of
this country will continue to cooperate to the full
est extent. There is no question but what the in
terests Of the American government will be
recognized ahead Of private or corporation plans.
In Washington we know that there are broad
differences Of judgment questions which, for
short are called "priortieS.'
1t is a significant fact that the public, and
most gasoline dealers who have private stations,
express themselves as opposed to the policies of
Secretary lckeS; and it is very difficult to find
persons who stand up for Price Administrator
Hcnderson'S order that gasoline stations must
curtail 10 per cent in deliveries. There is queS-
tion but what the retailers are willing to coop
crate with any move that is to the advantage of
national defense. But, they say that the problem
should be worked out in an orderly and sensible
way.
The Washington Evening Star states in a
leading editorial that 'thc gasoline ratoning
order, issued by the Office of Price Administra-
tion and Civilian Supply at the request Of Secre-
tary lckes, has resulted in state of utter con-
fusion, which should have been foreseen and
which could have been avoided" The Star adds
"Ihe majority are willing to cooperate, but they
are not apt to remain if they their non
cooperative neghbors taking advantage of loop
holes in hastily drafted governmental edcts, like
the gasoline ratlonlng order and getting away
with it.
The Star has stated the situation very we'll
from the viewpoint that prevails IN the National
Capital.

THE REPRESENTATIVE PRINCIPLE

1NHE NATION will get national unity and total
effort for defense only when all groups feel
they are part Of the national effort and share the
responsibility for achievements.
Free men can grow strong through voluntary
sacrifice, but the will to do is weakened by sacri-
fees imposed by others.
There is one simple method for enabling the
masses to share effectively in national undertake
ings-that of representation. Representation is
the basis for confidence and good will. 1t is the
way to spread responsibility for results over the
rank and file and arouse the will to carry on.
The American labor movement is made up of
workers who are loyal citizens and who value their
precious democratic rights Labor executives
have been gravely concerned that in this fateful
time national unity of purpose and the will to
achieve should be strong and true.
Labor is eager to give service to capacity and
again it urges the principle which alone can as
sure a united and total effort for defense-use of
the representative principle in order to give every
citizen a share in national defense.

Higher Salaries Urged
By Post Office Clerks

st. Louis, Mo.-The convention of
the National Federation of Post Of
flee Clerks unanimously demanded a
salary increase-$2,6 500 to $1,000
and rates Of 81 per hour for substi-
tutes for the first years service with
graduated hourly pay increases as
provided in the Whelchel Bill, H. r
1641. In computing the graduated
hourly rate the salary grades OF
81, 1900 to $4,000 would be used instead
of the present grades of $l,700 tc
$1,000.
Salary increases for the post office
clerks and civil service employees gen
orally were favored by President Will
liam Green of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, in an address to the
convention. He said that civil service
employees, as well as those in private
industry, are entitled to wage in
creases as they too must meet the
rising cost of living.
President Leo +. George, Legisla-
tive Representative VIM. |. Horner
and SecretaryTreasurer VIM. Otte
were reelected without opposition.

WAR CLOSES IN

WHEN PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT returned to
w Washington after his historic meeting with
Britans Prime Minister Churchill the high
seas, he declared that the United States was not
any closer to war than it had been before the
meeting took place. He may have meant what ne
said but it looks here though every passing
minute brings US that much nearer real war
with the AXIS powers.
Right now it would almost appear as though
we are in a state of undeclared war although high
German spokesmen have said that will be up to
Hitler and not to the Government of this country.
At the outbreak Of the struggle, this nation
was almost 100 per cent in back of the Neutrality
Act which in theory allowed any nation to come
here, pay cash for materials and take it away in
their own boats, but would not permit our ships
to travel dangerous waters incidents could pile
up to involve us in war we felt almost to a man
did not concern US
Under the leadership of our President, we
passed the Lease-Lend Bill, permitted British war
ships to be servlced in our yards, set up sea
patrol which meant PARKWAY convoy system,
and now we declare that we didn't mean to include
all ports of the British Empire in our Neutrality
Act which we are attempting to scrap anyway.
We considering a loan to Russia OF several
hundred million dollars in munitions to be paid out
of r. f. c. funds and talk of actual conveying of
war materials to their destination.
This is real war talk, but we feel we are much
better prepared than were two years ago. We
have drafted army, navy is expanding and
the planes are beginning to roll off the assembly
lines. When part OF our fleet is attacked, as 1T
surely will be, we are not going to stand for it,
This is not to say that the Neutrality Act has
not outived its usefulness and that we should not
have a part in downing Hitler, but when someone
tells you are not nearing an actual state of war
don't you believe him.
We are going to war ust as surely as we did
in 1917 and Britain has relied upon this fact the
past two years It's time we faced the facts
squarey and quit kidding ourselves. We have
gone much too far now to back down.

PLANNING RECONSTRUCTION

(William Green, in American Federationst)
FOLLOWING THE last World War foreign mar
kets and the economic structure of every nation
crumbed under financial and economic cataclysms
SO that there were years of unemployment
hunger, misery and waste of human capacity and
life.
We therefore urge Congress to act promptly and
effectively so that the responsibility of providing
for reconstruction may be met constructively.
In addition to providing for planning for re-
construction in our democratic economy, Congress
should similarly provide a commission to study
and be ready to recommend provisions for the
peace treaty to promote the maintenance Of world
peace. We shall never be able to escape from wal
unless we can devise practical agencies and
methods for dealing with situations and causes
which result in war.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1941-09-18
ARMY MORALE

TT NOW APPEARS that the heads of the Army
realize that the Lower House of Congress knew
there was critical condition in our Army when
it came within vote of freeing draftees from
service Immediately after the President signed
the bill passed by the two branches of Congress
to keep the men another Is months, the War De-
partment announced new policy that promises
all present and future selective service men and
guardsmen an average of 18 months of training,
instead of the full 80 months permitted under the
law signed by President Roosevelt; with 100000
freed within the next few weeks. 1t is very OBJ
vious that the War Department has become con-
cerned over the morale in Army camps, which is
the actual reason why the program was changed.
SO, the general public should heed the warn
ings and sit tight, and do plenty of thinking and
planning for the future for our country, and our
people.

FIRST PAPER MAKING MACHINE

Harrisburg, Pa.-The wasp was the
first paper-making machine. State for
estry officials say this insect uses
method similar to the one employed
in some of the big paper production
plants of today. The wasp makes pulp
out of small particles of wood by
chewing them and when properly
masticated lays the product, like thin
sheets Of paper, layer upon layer in
building its house. 1t is recorded that
early inventors took their ideas from
this insect in making paper out of
wood.
