RUSSIANS REMEMBER

Regulating any intention OF
to the continental
boundaries of 1914 or of trying
TO solve Germany's problems by
colonial expansion, Hitler wrote:
sNeither western nor eastern
orientation should be the future
goal Of our foreign policy, but
an eastern policy signifying the
acquisition of the necessary soil
for our German people. Since
we need strength for this, but
the mortal enemy of our nation,
France, relentlessly throtties us
and robs our strength, we must
undertake every sacrifice which
may help brig about a nullifi-
cation Of the French drive for
European hegemony."
Soviet leaders who might other
wise rely on the present treaty
between Germany and Russia as
a. safeguard against aggression,
NAV take into consideration in
deciding their actions of the i'm
mediate future the never-retracted
opinion Of the Russian regime held
by Hitler and openly expressed in
"Mein kampf."

WASHINGTON. March 6.-The
United States government today
was moving steadily nearer par
ticipation with Britain in an eco
nomic blockade of the Axis powers.
This government already h S
imposed a virtual economic block
ade against Germany, Italy and
the Nazi-dominated territories of
Europe. 1t now is starting to Inn
pose severe economic restrictions
against Russia and Japan.
These drastic measures are being
taken both in he interests of
American national defense and to
help Britain win the war, authori-
tative quarters said.
LICENSING SYSTEM
Restrictions are being carried
out under the export control
licensing system, which gives the
government the power to control
the expectation of all war supplies
and other defense articles to for

Approximately 500 classifications
of articles, representing more than
one-third of this country's exports,
have been made subject to this
control.

divisions close 10 Turkey as well
GFeeee-iHdieate that Russia
may be the real objective OF the
Reich, just as Chancellor Hitler
predicted it would be in his book
'Aiein Kampf."
In that book, revised when
Hitler came into power and since
left 10 stand as the official Nazi
guide book. the iuehrer wrote:
.Me direct etfr gake toward

talk about new soil and terri
tory in Europe today, we can
think primarily only OF Russia
and its vassal border states"
LONGING FOR UKRAINE
The part of Russia which faces
toward Germany is the rich
Ukraine, the bread basket OF
Europe, on which Nazi leaders
have long turned pensive eyes
when speaking of the need for
German "lebensraum."
The plans laid down in "Mein
Kafnpf' have long been known in
detail to Stain and the Soviet
leaders in the Kremlin, and mill
tary and political experts believe
that knowledge may decide Rus
sia's reaction to the present rising
crisis.
The Hitler statement of national
policy, as translated in the unex-
pureated American edition pub
iished by Reynal e. Hitchcock,
shows that in the Nazi war plan
the conquering of France was
never considered as an end IN
itself. but only as step TOWARD
the final "drang mach oesten," the
drive to the east against Russia.

We should get better acquainted
with the fine flavor of goose and
substitute it for turkey. A large
goose will weigh as much as 10
pounds.
We find that geese are raised
mostly for their flesh and feathers,
since their eggs are not so much in
demand for cooking by the average
housekeeper. But now that We are
getting away from the feather and
down pillow we will have to figure
on this fine bird as an excellent
addition to our meat supply.
Geese bring the highest prices
during the late autumn and early
winter months and the prices are
considerably less than those asked
for other kinds Of poultry.
Illinois produced the greatest

last census-over one-half million
