White Rule
Is English
Intent, Plans

NNS.-With the defeat Of
Russia daily more imminent, con
siderable criticism is being level
ed by competant military OBJ
servers against Britain for its
inactivity i'm the Russo-German
war. II is claimed that in not
invading Europe during the
past summer Britain not only
lost 4 golden opportunity for
earning foothold ON that con-
tin"nt once again-while Hitler
attention was directed elsewhere
but contributed by this mill
tary Inactivity to the Russian
losses.
Yet keen students of the Eng
llsh military strategy in the
past are not surprised. For Bri-
tan Is notorious for letting
others fight her battles when
ever possible. In the Mediterra-
narn--in Egypt and Libya and
MISUNDERSTANDING has largely de
pended on colonial troops - i'm
the most part colored troops.
Thus, in Greece and later i'm
Crete, IT was the Maoris who
bore the full brunt of the battle.
Just as ii was the native Afric-
AN troops in Ethiopia and Libya
who suffered most.
1t is no secret that England
has long hoped for a war be
tween Russia and Germany
Hitler and Stain. In the wish
ful thinking of Britian's here
dltary ruling class, such battle
would in the end wipe out the
twin evils of Communism and
Fasclsm. To that end Britain
Will sabotage any attempt at
peace ovcrtures between Russia
and Germany.
And for the samA purpose,
Britain has to date sabotaged
every attempt at peace in the
Far East. A war between Russia
and Japan, or even the United
States and Japan, would go a
long way towards assuring
England's continued donation
economically, and politically of
the Orient.
I'm the event of ~ Russo-Jap
war, it would be a case of
Asiatic Russians fighting neigh
bOr ng ASiatics - one co.ored
race against another.
and in the case Of a United
StatcSJapaneSc war. il would be
the age old story of the white
mans war against all colored
races!
IT should be remembered that
when the white powers speak Of
protecting their special inter
cStS in any part of the world
a word, incidentally prcdomi-
natcly cOlOred - they mean
special interests of the type
that substituted bitter economic
bondage for the physical slavery
Of Il century ago, and called it
emancipation.

World Affairs

destroyer 0OU miles SOulN VI
Iceland by some kind of craft
appears at first glance to be an
act of war. On second thought
and considering what Congress
was debating at the moment we
are of the belief that someone
has been dabbling in American
politics who has no business do
ing so.
Submarines have no greater
enemy than the destroyer. In
action the destroyer is SO fast
that hitting one with SO slow a
projectile as torpedo IS so
improbable no submarine would
attempt it. How come our newest
destroyer was parked out on the
ocean and that submarine was
albe to come within a mile or
so unobserved and undetected
and lift it out of the water with
torpedo? What of the navy's
boast of always being ready?
So far the enemy is two up on
us. Both instances were war
ships. Lots of folks are wait
ing for the low down on these
mysteries.
Japan has again decided the
Axis holds more promise for her
plans than course of peaceful
ways. The new premier is a
military man. Developments are
to be expected in the Chinese
incident but any move at the
U. S. is not on the program.
Nor is any move to be fore
seen against Russia as long AZ
the Reds have not been knocked
out of the war. Japan has big
ambitions but would prefer the
ends be attained by others doing
her fighting for her. In achieve
ment of these by letting Hitler
do the fighting Japan is going
to be disappointed. Germany 81

wants. Insofar as sharing the
spoils with Japan one has only
to look at Italy. Italian territory
and Italy itself is policed by the
German ARMY. - [~
The President of Panama, or
rather eX-president, is of Nazi
inclination. When the United
States said it would arm u. S.
ships of Panama registery this
man stood up and said that he
objected, result was that he
was batted down and had to flee
the country. At sea his ship
failed to contact some NaZi tub
but evidently did run into some
thing for it promptly sailed
right back to port and the
president on the run started to
ride in style back to the capitol.
Last reports from Panama say
the ride ended abruptly and
the president landed in jail and
is still there. From the gobs of
silence emitted by Washington
we take it the big brother act
clicked again.
The War Department has
found something else to worry
over. This time it has been dis
covered that there is something
in tn idea that Italians Germans
and Japanese indicted into the
