INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW

have it that the German offensive
against Leningrad, Moscow, Rostov,
Astrakhan and Sebastopol has been
stopped or, at least, slowed up. The
German reports do not agree with
this view-and that could not be
expected.
But Josef Stain, speaking over
the radio the other evening, ex-
pressed the fervent hope that the
British and the American govern
ments take steps to open new
fronts on the western part Of the
European continent. Th at, he
feels, would relieve the tremend-
GUS pressure on the Soviet re-
publics.
There is at the present time no indi-
cation that Great Britain and the
United States will make such a
move. They confine themselves, for
various reasons, to attempts to send
war supplies to Russia, and the Presi-
dent of the United States has, in this
connection, opened a one-billion dol
lar credit for RUSSIA credit without
interest-so as to enable that country
to buy additional arms and NUM-
tions.
Pressure on Firms.
London and Washington also try
to help in another way, by demand
ing that Finland withdraw from her
war against Russia. The United
States has threatened loss of Ameri-
can friendship if Finland does not
comply, and the British have hinted
at an actual declaration of war
against the Firms if they don't stop
fighting.
The Firms themselves have made
it clear that they are fighting not be-
cause they are sympathetic to the
nazis, but because they want to get
back the territory which the Russians
took from them as result of the
war in 1939-40. Besides, Russia has
for centuries been the enemy of Fin
land-and the Germans in 1920 made
it possible for the Firms to organize
an independent republic, severed from
all political connection with Russia.
These things the Firms, naturally
enough, take into consideration.
They also realize that If they
yield to Great Britain and the
United States, Germany will do
her utmost to make Finland re-
sist, and may even go to war
against the Firms.
So, Finland is, very much, in that
position which has been adequately
described as between the devil and
the deep sea-"
Slaughter.
The war on the military and the
diplomatic fronts goes on with, as it
seems, increasing violence, and be-
hind the lines is another war-so far,
most one-sided one, for German
firing squads are busy killing alleged
saboteurs, Jews and communists in
occupied countries.
No one actually knows the
number of victims, but there is
every reason to believe that it is
very high although a London
claim that between 100000 and
100000 Serbs have been executed
in Yugoslavia during the last
few months seems to be too fan
tastically high.
For the Germans, the trouble with
this slaughter is that it intensifies the
desire of the oppressed nations to
pay back. And they hope the day will
dawn when they can

line? The British navy would have
prevented arrival of Nazi supply
ships.
The question is not whether our
seizure of Iceland was wise. The
question is whether the emergency"
was merely another of Mr.. Roosevelt's
many fanciful tales-a harsher word
could be used-which he used as an
excuse to do that which he did not
dare to do upon giving the true
reason.
Crete was taken by air. But there
is vast amount of difference be-
tween Crete and Iceland. Indeed,
the difference is so great that it does
not require an expert to realize
that talk of Nazi invasion of Ice
land at the time was so silly as to be
little short of stupid. Hitler may be
audacious, but he is not audacious
to the point of idiocy.
1t is not only with respect to the
third term that Mr.. Roosevelt has
broken tradition. He has, also, the
unenviable distinction of being the
first president whose statements could
not be believed and whose promises
could not be relied upon.

Jody did not seem 10 see him; she
appeared to be thinking only Of the
slim youngster whom the cowboy
carried. The cowboy laid the limp
figure on the door Of the kitchen,
ripped Oh his own neckerchief and
spread It over the youngsters face.
Jody Gordon methodically shut the
door. Then she dropped to the door
beside the fallen youngster. lifted
his head into her lap. and gave
way to 4 violent sobbing. The high
keyed nervous excitement that had
sustained her through the hard ne
cessities Of action was unstrung
abruptly. now that her work was
done; it left nothing behind it but =
great WEAKNESS. and the bleak con-
sciousness that this boy was dead
because Of her.
Roper and the King Gordon cow
boy stood uncertainty for q moment.
Then the cowboy picked up Leath-
ers where he lay struggling for
breath, carried him into the back
room and put him down on bunk.
For a moment he hesitated; then
closed the door between the two
rooms. leaving Jody alone.
Seems like the kid got Jim Leath-
ers; but Jim Leathers got the
kid"
"Daid?" Old Joe asked.
"Deader'n hell! Jody takes it aw-
full hard"
The cowboy cut loose Bill Roper's
hands. and together they lifted Old

Marquita free.
Get me that kettle of water of

quita; and when she had brought it
he said. Now you 60 and keep Miss
Gordon company for little while"
Marquita left them, closing the
door behind her.
Old Joe kept talking to them in a
gaspy sort Of way. as they did what
they could for his wound.
THE kid was scared to death to
come. Jody seen that, and tried to
send him back, with some trumped-
up message or something. Natural
ly he seen through that and wouldn't
go. Now most likely she blames
herself that he's daid. Lucky for US
that Leathers' main outfit wasn't

She aimed we should use the same
stunt you used at Fork Crick-bust

somebody fires Oh a gun down here,
and she loses her haid, and We come

Government? Is it the bootlegger
element? They would Ee the only
true advocates of this kind of
legislation; because such law
would open the market for beer
and what not, to them.
Money hounds of this sort
will use the ruse of betsr be-
havior among the people on Sun
Gay and at night on Holidays to
oust the legitimate operators of
beer gardens ard render to them
selves a situation in the beverage
field profitable for gangsters again
in America.
Another Bill is up for passage
which curtails the industry of
advertising beer and limits the
business in this field to newspapers
only. This is flagrant and bold
stroke Of the dictator. Why should
any group of lawmakers enjoy the
pay and the honor of being a rep
resentative of the people and Use
the opportunity to sponsor meas
ures calculated to curb their liber-
ties?
Drinking beverages and social
communions are a part of human
nature. This cannot be charged by
legislation.

Miss Anpeton turned her beautiful eyes his direction She
parted her lips and said: 49,
washed away all my hopes for happy marriage I've decld
ed to follow a career
The Phoenix index., 1941-05-24

Negroes inherent love of beauty
whether it is of form, color OF
sound.
We can only hope that passion
for beauty of thought and of ac-
tion will hold just as compelling
place in his quest for The ideal.
So We salute the growing numbers
who are making the creation and
preservation of beauty their life
work. What higher, more exalted
calling could be theirs for
"If you have spoken something
beautiful,
Or touched the dead canvass to
life,
Or made the cold stone to speak
You who know the secret heart Of
beauty
If you have done one thing
That has made gentler the cnurl"
ish world,
Though mankind pass you by
And feed and clothe you grudging-
1y-
Though the world starve you,
And God answer not your nightly
prayers,
And you grow old hungering still
at heart
And walk friendless in your way,
And lie down at last forgotten
If all this befall you who have
created beauty,
You shall still leave a bequest to
the world
Greater than institutions and rules
and commerce:
And by the immutable law Of hui
man heart
The God of the universe is your
debtor
If you have made gentler the
churlish world.
