Book Beer

Book Beer
Book beer originated from the
German word bockbier, which is a
corruption of Einbecker bier, from
the town of Einbeck. Book beer was
first made at Einbeck, near Ham,
burg, Germany, between 1908 and
1856. 1t became so popular that it
was shipped throughout Germany
and exported to London, The Neither
lands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden,
Russia and even to Asia Minor and
to Jerusalem.

JULY OR ELSE FOR HITLER

NO one can ever tell just What
is going on in the Kremlin, but here
is how the diplomatic dispatches ex-
plain the apparent shift of Russia
slightly over to the British side of
the war scale.
1t is now generally agreed by the
best U. S. military observers-and
probably also by the Russians-that
Hitler will have to win this war by
July of this year or else face serious
consequences.
These serious consequences will
be:
l. Tremendously increased muni-
tions and ship production by the
U. S. A. After July l, American
factories will really get into their
stride.
2. The necessity of finding food
for Europe next winter.
8. The necessity of finding more
oil, especially if the British succeed
in blowing up Rumanian oil wells,
which they definitely plan to do.
4. The necessity of pulling new
rabbit out of the hat to please the
German people. So far Hitler
has pulled out new victories at peri
odic intervals-Austria, Czechoslo-
vakia, Poland, Norway, the Low
Countries, France. But the rabbits
have come fewer and harder recent
ly. The German people are report
ed to be restless.
Only answer to these dilemmas is
Russia. The vast and fertile fields
of the Ukraine, rich in wheat, iron
ore and lying just across from the
oil fields of the Caucasus, are sure
to beckon to Hitler.
And if he still is unable to take
England by July, it more than likely
seems that he will bite off the
Ukraine. This probability increases
if war in the Balkans disrupts the
spring planting. For one reason
why Hitler has been so patient with
Jugoslavia is because the crops of
the Balkans are vital to Germany.
All of which is not being lost upon
Russia.

SABOTAGE, LABOR, EMPLOYER
Most tragic thing about the pres
ent chaotic labor situation is the
black eye which a minority of labor
is giving to their co-workers all over
the country. In the majority of
plants and shipyards, men are work.
ing without interruption.
But in certain key plants, so vital
to the national defense that they
could not have been picked by acci-
dent, small minority have begged
down production. Sometimes this
happens through strikes, sometimes
through slowing-up and sabotage so
deliberate that behind it must lurk
a definite attempt by Communists
to hold back national defense.
While labor has been hitting the
headlines for defense obstruction,
less publicized but equally obstruc-
tive has been the attitude of certain
business elements, among them the
shipbuilders, who dickered endlessly
with the U. S. maritime commission
regarding the construction of 200
desperately needed cargo vessels.
This program was adopted in
January, but to date the commits
sion has not been able to complete
negotiations for quite all the 200
ships.
The Bethlehem-Fair Shipyard,
Inc, of Baltimore, for instance, bat
tied the commission for two months
over fat fee.
The commission proposed $110,-
600 base fee per ship, to be reduced
to 100000 if not delivered by a GER
tain deadline, or increased to $140,-
600 if produced ahead of time. But
Bethlehem rejected the penalty
clause, vigorously insisting on a
fixed fee regardless of when the
ships were produced.
For weeks, while the shipping
crisis daily grew more critical, the
controversy ragged. Finally, on
March Is, the company backed down
and accepted the commissions
terms. -..
Under them Bethlehem-Fa Fairfield
stands to collect a total fee of
$5,500,000 on the so ships assigned
it. In addition it also garnered a
$7,838,000 government contract for
13 ways and other construction para
phernalia.

Puppet Government

Napoleon, in the only peace he
ever made with Great Britain-that
of Amiens-sought the surrender Of
French exiles. The demand was in
dignantly repelled. To give up these
men to certain death 'twould be-"
said Charles James Fox, ''the worst
and basest act I am capable of con-
ceiving." But such an act came
easy to the puppet government of
Vichy which, in relation to Hitler.

FLOATING DEFENSE HOMES

Defense chiefs may soon inaugu-

First negotiations of this sort were
for the purchase of an excursion boat
to alleviate serious housing short
age at Portsmouth, Va, where a
giant naval construction project is
under way. If successful here, the
plan may be tried out at other sea-
board defense centers.
Palmer hopes eventually to have
a number of these floating hotels. "
