But the valiant Norwegian people
are not likely to swallow these Ger

Gated, of course, on the assumption
that Germany is going to win the war
and dictate the peace. There is every
indication that Norway is far from
convinced that Hitler will triumph.
So certain is King Haakon and his
refugee government of Germany's
eventual downfall that they have
issued a counterwarning to Nor
wegians against collaborating with
their conquerors. The developing
spirit of revolt in Norway has not
been dampened by previous Nazi
threats or acts Of violence. The re-

in Norway for German troops has
served only to fan the flames of un-

that whether they bow to conquest

the courage and stamina Of this
freedom-loving people to carry them

Pleads for Help
For Suffering Helenes.


Following the letter of Miss Anne
Darlington which appeared in The Star,
wish to express myself as being in full
sympathy of something being done to
relieve suffering in Greece. year ago
their bravery and sacriflcial efforts for
freedom commanded the admiration of
America. The odds were against them
and they were defeated. Famine and
disease stalk abroad in Greece today.
Is there no way to relieve the suf-
fering of the Greek people? Cannot
some way be devised by which medicine
and food can be sent to them? Kind
hearts are ready to furnish these neces-
sites. I ask that our editors, lawmakers
and members of philanthropic societies
do their utmost 10 find some way by
which such supplies can be sent them
without their falling into the hands of
their prosecutors.

Justice Brundeis

1Ilc peOplt VI Ullt SdplGdl VI U1lt
United States considered Louis Dem
bitz Brandeis a neighbor. For more
than quarter of century he lived
among them, and during that period
Of time he earned their high regard
as fellow citizen and as a friend.
When President Wilson nominated
him to the highest tribunal of the
land on January %, 1916, it was re-
marked in The Star that he had
not even been mentioned for the
vacancy" Democratic members of
the Senate complained that he had
not been active in the party. Their
Republican colleagues protested that
be was radical, lacking the judi
cial temperament"
How mistaken his critics were at
the moment of his appointment
many of them later were delighted to
acknowledge. Mr.. Brandeis replied
to them not in words but rather in
the conscious and deliberate conduct
Of his career. He demonstrated
profundity of social wisdom which
was conservative in the best mean
Ing of the word. Again and again
he filed dissenting opinions which
subsequently were to be accepted as
expressions of basic humanitarian
principle. 1t is not too much to say
that he guided the American COM
munity into kindlier conception of
mutual association. THE makers of
the Constitution" he explained. "un-
dertook to secure conditions favor
able to the pursuit of happiness.
They recognized the significance of
mans spiritual nature, of his feel
ings and of his intellect. They knew
that only part of the pain, pleasure
and satisfactions of life are to be
found in material things.
They conferred, as against the
Government, the right to be let
alone-the7 most comprehensive of
rights and the right most valued by
civilized men"
These sentiments. obviously, were
novel when originally published.
Considering contemporary events in
other portions Of the earth they
still are requisite of utterance. The
dogmas Of Communism and of Fas-
cism which Mr. Brandeis inferentially
condemned are barbarous in exactly
the particular to which he referred
the dominance of the individual. He
has died while those evil forces are
In the ascendant throughout the
earth today, but he never sur
rendered his faith that they must
fail. The endowment of service
which he leaves to succeeding gen.
erations consists mainly in the good
manners" of his philosophy. His
training and experience as a lawyer,
his twenty-three years of labor in
the Supreme Court, his occasional
books, his fugitive contributions to
the periodical press, his counsel to
youth, his support of the campaign
for a homeland for the wanderers
of the race to which he proudly be-
longed, his logical conception of re-
ligion, his noble patriotism, his SYM
pathy for the distressed-a of these
great factors were assembled in full
fillment in doctrine of tolerance
and mercy to which he was loyal
up to the last and for which, in the
Providence of God, he will be re-
membered with gratitude.

forecast collapse unless the total ter
ritory and resources of Western Russia
were possessed and controlled for the
purposes of war.
But, barring an unima ginable loss Of
determination by her antagonists, Ger
many soon will approach the limit Of her
offensive power, a condition resulting
mostly from the material intervention
of the United States.
With Russia unvanquished. the portals
to India will remain closed, and with
the loss of air supremacy as a conse-
quence of Americas contributions to her
enemies. Germanys genius and armies
will be devoted to the defense of native
and occupied lands.
America is at the verge of assuring the
annihilation Of Germany's naval arm.
Diplomatically, Germany is disconnected
by plans frustrated, in most part by the
United States, the seeming return of
Japan to reason being less reverse than
the better resolution of France not to
surrender her feet to the Reich.
Meanwhile, the Germans are con-
founded in Russia by a never-ending
procession of Ezekiels visions-the
bones" Of "exterminated" troops con-
tinually rising to life in their rear to
confute their claims and demoralize their
exhausted forces. These resurrections,
which are part Of Slavic tactics, never
will cease while the Germans are in
Russia.
OF what is possible, Germany can de-
sire nothing so seriously as an accom-
modation with England BY that device
she would nullify Americas peace OBJ

recuperate for the renewal of the war to

Discusses German Plight
In Relation to Russia.

To the Editor of The Star:
A prospective siege of Germany by the
nations fleets and armies, which the
Reich trusts by protracted resistance to
defeat, or so to weary the hostile camp
as to permit Of compromise, is the most
logical hypothesis to explain the adven-
ture in Russia. campaign whose objec-
tive justifies. in the military judgment
of the invaders, the EXTREMIST possible
sacrifices.
Germanys purpose, obviously, is to
realize economic self -containment. The
British blockade, the rising flood of
American supplies to England and the
probable armed opposition of presently
neutral peoples to Germany's intolerable
pretensions, compelled the Reich to COM
pute the possibilities; and the equation

This Is far from saying that Stain is
q Christian, or a reformer, or a tolerant
statesman, or a friend Of the people. His
record Of treachery and brutality Is
longer than Hitler's. But he Is not very
dangerous. In the vague yearnings for
the ideals that stir in the hearts of the
youth of the world his Communism has
been tried and found wanting. His
greatest power for evil has been in the
field Of international relations, where
he has broken every obligation, violated
every trust, and undermined all conf
dence. So that when Hitler attacked him
in June the civilized nations said: 1--WE
ask you for no promises for your prom

you because We must destroy Hitler. We
love you not but We fear Hitler more"
Their reasoning was sound.

The bedrock Of Nazi-ism is a super-race
