HE GIVES HIS GAME AWAY

Suppose Hitler really that he could deliver a knockout blow to England whenever he chose and that all aid from the United States would not avail to her.
 Would his best course not be- in that event, to seek in every way possible to have this useless Amer can material drained off into doomed Britain so that America would be without it after England falls and Hitler faces west to deal with the United States? He knows he must deal with sooner or later if he defeats England. He knows he could deal with us more easily if our bombing planes, arms and ammunition and of our leased or loaned warships had been destroyed in the crushing blow against England.
 Why then does he continue to proclaim, he did again in his speech yesterday, that American gid to Britain will prove useless that the extinction of British resistance is already as good as accom- pshed?
 It is precisely because he does fear this American aid and wants very much to head it off by defeat of the leaseend bill in particular, that he makes such statements
 America will not be fooled by Hitler speech We must give all aid to England immediately for Britain with aid defeat Hitler and Hitler knows it.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27 Mingled good and evil are indi- cated in the horoscope for today Business hours should be distin- guished by confidence and good feeling. In the evening there is d portent of some naval loss. Heart and Home: This is a fairly fortunate day for women who should study ways of preserving boise and of maintaining a prac- tical outlook on changing condi- tions. Educators now will discuss many problems affecting courses of instruction. While there will be a demand for specialists among young men and women who enter the professions, the stars are read as forecasting the need of all- around knowledge in postwar read justments
 Business Affairs: Again there is sign indicating discontent on the part of labor which may affect the Pacific Coast Activity in all ines of business will continue with marked increase of speed in the spring. Agriculture is subject 4 to promising forecasts and stock raisers will profit. Demand for horses and mules will increase. un- der war r-menacing conditions. The southern states will profit..s Nsa
 National Issues: Propaganda un- sympathetic to British aid will be effective in blurring the vision of many Americans who will criticize Washington. Certain editors of newspapers in various cities will contribute to the hostile attitude toward the nation now greatly helped by us in its terriblef s9hg gle to retain freedom from Nazi rule. Young college students, ma become intensely partisan due to fifth column secret influences 1 International Affairs: Beneath outward acceptance of NaZi rule the countries subjugated by z the Axis will foster secret rebellion against conditions As the spring advances there will be added signs of unrest and even rebellion. France is to offer the most complicated problems for Hitler The stars are read as promising ultimate restora- tion of French independence and final recovery of national glory. It is forecast that there will be two years of severe trial in which fam ous men are sacrificed.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of pros- perity. Unexpected good luck will come to women. Romance will at- tend the young.
 Children born on this day should be fortunate all through life. Long useful and happy years are indi- cated.

New German Film
(NeW York TimeS)

(New York Times)
 Berlin has victory film. It pictures the conquest of the Lowlands and France last Spring and the accent is on personal heroism. In this it differs from the film chronicle of the Nazi conquest of Poland, in which the emphasis machin- cry We all remember the Baptism of Fire" picture in which the destruction of Warsaw by German bombs and heavy guns was used as Nazi propaganda to terrorze what then neutral opinion in the small countries. The moral of Warsaw later reinforced by the lesson of Rotterdam, which the Nazis laid waste primarily as object lesson for Paris
 The futility of opposing Germany by force was demonstrated in terms of enginery of rather than of men. The heavens were black with Naz planes the earth shook to the of Nazi tanks the invaded cities stood in smoking ruins. All this was designed to plant in the hearts of Germanyi opponents the fear, not of multitudes of German soldiers with rifles, but of phalanxes of superhumar or subhuman fighting robots of steel and flame. I, was mechanized Blitzkrieg that laid Poland low in month and overwhelmed France in a fortnight
 The German film extols victory in the older style. We solitary soldier blowing up tht cupola of Fort Eben Emael with single charge O high explosive. The first war bulletins about Eber Enae attributed its fall to mysterious Nazi ma chine" which landed inside the walls. We see soldier swimming the Mouse with rope for hauling the Nazi rafts across We single soldier placing the final charge which blows up big Maginot fort
 The change in propaganda emphasis from the invincible German machines to the heroism of the German soldier may be not without significance The first kind of propaganda to establish tht idea, both among Germanys opponents and at home that German victory question only of weeks everything must give way before the motorized Ger man thunder on land and in air. The kind o propaganda, after l6 months of war, prepares the German people for many more months of fighting The emphasis shifts from machines that blast thel way to victory to personal heroism that knows how to endure

"NO-RED-TAPE" KNUDSEN

Despite the importance of his position in the Office of Production Management, William Signius Knud- sen remains as unassuming as the Bill Knudsen who arrived as an immigrant lad from Denmark 40 years ago. So one thing in Wash ington gets under his skin = the bureaucrats who barricade them selves behind a maze of officious secretaries, red-tape and push but tons.
 Knudsen himself is the opposite. He likes people. Also, he likes the feel" of the place he works in. It is not unusual to see him strolling through the corridors of the new Social Security building, where OMP offices are now located, somewhat as he once strolled through the General Motors plant in Detroit hailing veteran employees.
 Instead of summoning a defense associate to his office. Knudsen fre- quently drops around to the other mans office. One of these errands recently took him past the office of OPM press chief Robert Horton, a red tape past master, where he en- countered a young reporter.

THE HONORABLE SAMMY'S ADVENTURES IN CONGRESS

Our friend, the Hon. Samuel Dcksten, Congress man from New York, who wants to- colonize Alaska with foreign refugees, evidently isn't too highly thought of in Congress either
 The Congressman said something (we have no way of knowing whaD in the House February II which his colleagues fit to expunge from the Congressional Record after a severe rebuke to the speaker
 During Dcksten's remarks Rep. John E. Ram kin of Mississippi interrupted with: MT. Speaker we are not going to stand for everything; I demand that those words be taken down." Rep. Martin Dies of Texas chimed in T want to say to the gentle man (Dickstein) that that is wrong and that he knows it is false"
 On order of the Speaker, Dickstein took his seat and the House Clerk read back the words to which Rankin and Dies took special exception. They were:
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-02-26

T also charge MT. Speaker, that 11o Fascist organ izatons in this country had the back key and have now the back key to the back door of the Dies committee" The Chair ruled that the language of Dickstein certainly impugns the motives and actions of committee and the individual membe\ thereof"
 Rankin asked for recognition to move to ex- punge the entire speech of Dicksein from the record whereupon Dickstein asked recognition for parlia- mentary inquiry Rankin refused to yield for the purpose until after he had been recognized and after recognition by the Speaker said T do not yield for parliamentary inquiry from anyone whom the rules of the House provide must keep his seat until this matter is disposed of This statement by Rankin was greeted by applause one imne- diately following that i've are going to have some real American debate now"
 The Mississippi Congressman then launched into speech in the course of which he said: T not going to sit idly by and permit any man to stand here and mpugn the integrity or the patriotism or the motives of those real Americans in Congress who are trying to American institutions and put a stop to those efforts at sabotage that have been systematically carried by foreign element that is dedicated to the proposition of destroying this Republic"
 Rep. E. E. Cox of Georgia interrupted once to suggest that if Rankin would yield to Dicksten for few minutes the gentleman from New York would eat the words he has used and would eat them gladly" Rankin refused, saying: No, am not going to do that We have rule here in this House that when a violates the rules of the House and his words are taken down he must keep quiet until the House determines what to do" Dickstein asked again later to be recognized but refused by the Speaker with the observation: "The Chair cannot recognize the gentleman from New York"
 The vote on Rankin's motion to expunge Dick stens remarks entirely from the record was 353 to G. very unusual and very strong rebuke

SECRET COP POW-WOW

The day before the COP pow WOW in Omaha, where Midwestern chiefs debated Wendell Willkie and his declaration for the lend-lease bill, another meeting took place that was not reported in the press.
 This secret confab of the inner group was attended by state chair men from Pennsylvania, Ohio, In diana. Illinois, Wisconsin. Minne- sota, Iowa, Missouri. Kansas, okla homa, Texas, Colorado, Utah, the two Dakotas, and Florida. They dis cussed two matters:
 CD Wendell Willkie; (2) Plans whereby the state chairmen would assume greater control over the party's affairs.
 Sentiment was practically unan- imous that Willkie, by going "all out" for Roosevelt's Britain measure, had forfeited his right to lead the Republican Party. The basis for this, as expressed by speak CT after speaker, was as follows:
 It was entirely within Willkie' $ rights as an individual to take an' position he wanted. But the COP is sharply divided party on this issue; therefore. as the titular lead CT, Willkie should have suppressed his personal feelings and pursued a course that would not have widened the party schism.
 Some of the leaders waxed pretty hot under the collar. Willkie was never too popular with most vet eran regulars; so in private they talked freely and caustically.
 After letting off steam, however they reverted to practical politics and agreed it would not help the party to spank Willkie publicly. Sc it was decided that the sound course

COP STATE CHAIRMEN

On subject No. 2, state chairmen all agreed it was time for them to have more power in party problems, but they did not agree on how to get it.
 Only insiders know it, but Repub- lican state chairmen in the Midwest have been quietly meeting in a dif- ferent state every two months or SO, thus developing strong sectional organization. In showdownS they operate as unit It was this group that forced the busting of National Chairman John Hamilton and the selection of Representative Joe Mar tin. Similarly, the group will have a 1 lot to say on who succeeds Martin COP successes in recent years have been in state, not national, el- ections, and particularly in the Mid vest. So many state chairmen feel that their increased importance is not recognized by the National Con- 3nittee and that it's time to dc something about it.
 However, being practical politic- ians. the boys won't start an in- ternal fight now. Instead it was agreed that each chairman should discuss the matter with his nationa, committeeman and meet again ir Indianapolis next March.
 NOTE: While not backing anyone particularly, the state chairmer were unanimous that Martins suc- cessor as National Chairman should come from their own ranks.
