Spiritual Resistance
Cincinnati Enquirer)

tClnclnnatl Enqulrer)
 One reason for the relentless resistance the Nor wegan people against Naz rule is the position taken by the clergy of their state church From the very hour of Norways seizure by Nazi invaders the great bulk of the clergy has been vigorous champions of Norwegian freedom
 They have refused to let their churches become propaganda instruments of the puppet regime of Major Vidkun Quisling They have led their par shioners in passive resistance to the armies of cupatlon They have given courage to the hesitant, have set sturdy example of forttude for all to follow
 When the pastors of Norway declined to fall in with Quislngs plan for regmentation of the church. es, Quisling ordered the churches closed The pas ors reopened them and at once spoke their defiance from the pupits
 The latest step in this singular controversy came recently when a small group of clergymen the na- tional leaders of the established church met in se- cret Their action was to declare the virtual sepa- ratlon of church and state including renunciaton Of any obligation to the Quisling regime
 From that point on, the Norwegian church will stand apart from the state least until the state once more is in possession of the Norwegian people and under the direction of the leaders chosen by the people themselves
 One cannot measure the military effects of such action It will not automatically bring a change for the worse in Hitlers shabby effort to govern Norway by threat and repression. But the position taken by the clergy of Norway will influence the attitude ot the mass of people Their patriotism will be stirred their courage to resist will be sodified And their usefulness to the United Nations cause will be aug mented.
 Hitler IS the ayowed enemy of the traditional re- hgions of man. He has persecuted all the churches to which his power reaches. He has persecuted the devout of every faith Now in increasing measure the spiritual leaders of the conquered peoples arc mastering their strength against Na1 oppression They are not raising armies to fight with the wea- pons of armed combat. They are building the faith of the oppressed peoples and preparing them for a larger role in the final overthrow of Nazism.

LET'S GET TOGETHER

Government officials to be taking little too much time out right in attempt to prove that our planes and pilots superior to the Jap. First comes report from Under-Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal who say that the Jap pilots are inferior and that the Jap Zero plane is while highly maneuverable very vulnerable to attack be- cause of lack of armor.
 Then comes Chairman Harry Truman of the Sen ate Defense Investigating Committee to tell the pub lie that the American fighter planes inferior to those of the enemy.
 Surely as Senator Mon C. Wallgren pointed out to the Truman Committee, the Jap Zero is more than match for the flying collins" some of our Navy boys are using for attack in the Alaska battle
 Obviously our planes have been outmatched on in war which not prepared for The story about the vulnerabity of the Jap Zero isn't going to help the case of the Navy pilot who bumps up against one of these highly maneuverable ships in a PBY.
 Too often officials have given false impress sons in attempts to make an already too complacent public feel secure.
 Our efforts should be directed toward giving our pilots the best planes American ingenuity can build If we do have too little at present. it isn't going to do us any good to try to make out that this is not the case
 The United States, a manufacturing nation, has far surpassed all others, including Japan. Japan however, has prepared for this We pre- pairing now.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incJine
 bot do not compel"
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER IT

| THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER IT | Good and evil aspects appear to balance in the horoscope for this date. In the early morning en- couraging war news may be re- | ceived.
 I HEART AND HOME: This day should bring cheering letters from battle fronts to parents who miss sons and daughters now in the service of the nation. The tempo Iof war work will be greatly acceler- ated at this time when supreme Iresults must be assured in produc- tion and transportation. Recrea- tion must not be neglected as autumn days encourage introspec- ton and apprehension. There is good sign for informal hospitali- ties among neighbors and small groups of friends.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Astrologers forecast difficulties affecting trade and commerce. The inclination to criticize Government heads of ir1- | lportant work will be strong. Con- l tradictory reports will be dissemi- mated and the public will be per- plexed regarding actual conditions affecting commodities almost as Emuch needed as rubber and gaso- Eline. Demand for experienced in idustrialists in many political off ces will be insistent.
 | NATIONAL ISSUES: Despite the rude awakening of the nation by enemy attacks and the destruction of shipping, citizens of interior Hull realization regarding war needs states will be accused of lack of and dangers. The seers warn that daily radio and newspaper reports on battles and bombings may lose their full effect because of repe-
 titions that describe conflict in
 foreign lands. Even dangers on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts may appear too distant to arouse all- out efforts in the Middle West.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Highly aggressive war offensives will eventually be successful for the
 United Nations. The recent con-
 junction of Mercury and Mars in
 Virgo and other aspects have been read as indicating changes in the strategy of the World War. Short ages of Axis materials and man power may be revealed as the
 United States begins to demon strate it's accumulation of strength, slow in being concentrated upon
 offensive activities. The Angus,
 eclipses were read as most forum
 ate for democatic ideals.
 Persons whose birthdate it is
 have the augury of year of var jed experiences. Financial gain is
 indicated for many. Good luck fol
 men in uniform is indicated. I Children born on this day prob ably will be rarely talented but
 impetuous, sensitive and positive I They should be most carefully edu-
 cated.

GENERAL PAT HURLEY

When Brig. Gen. Pat Huurley, U. S. Minister to New Zealand, re- turned to Washington the other day, he went to call on his old friend Secretary of War Stimson. The two men had served together in the Cabinet of President Hoov- CT, Stimson as Secretary of State and Hurley as Secretary of War.
 Hurley gave Stimson his views on problems in the South Pacific, but insisted he didn't want to do any back seat driving" He did say, however, that he would like to be more in the thick of things.
 He had enjoyed the assignment which took him to the East Indies in January, in the effort to run the Japanese blockade with sup- plies for the men on Bataan. And he had enjoyed the more recent assignment as Minister to New zea- land
 But now he wanted a post not so far removed from the battle lines.
 When 75-year- old Stimson heard this, he looked at 59-year- old Hur- Hey in a paternal way, and said, g"Youve done a good job, Pat, and you have reason to be proud of yourself. But before you leap into the battle, go home and read First Kings, Chapter 20, verse IL" k Hurley went back to his suite in the Mayflower and looked up the passage. It was the passage that Stimson quoted so effectively at his press conference:
 k And the King of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off Copyright. 1922. by United Fea- ture Syndicate, Incl

CONGRESS DAWDLED

Roosevelt replied by telling how he had asked Congress last Janu- ary to pass a tax bill limiting all incomes to S25,000 But he said Congress had dawdled and delayed until no tax bill had been passed yet, and there was nothing in the tax bill even approaching his plan of limiting incomes.
 Then the President cited the case of an Englishman who had come to see him and told him his annual income was $500,000, but that after paying taxes he had $22,000 left. However. the English man was only too glad to have even that much.
 You can tell that story to the newspapermen when you go out, the President added.
 Later, Roosevelt called Patton to the White House again, this time with the heads of the Farm Bur eau, the Grange, and other farm leaders.
 What happened to that story told you about the Englishman and his taxes?' the President asked. T didn't see it in the newspapers"
 I gave it to the press, on the doorstep of the White House." Pat ton replied, and also told them about the spread between industrial profits and m-labor profits. But

Store Food for Winter

 Now that the Office of Price Administration has announced that practically every kind of food con- sumed in Alaska is excepted from the price ceiling of last March and those in authority talking about quotas in food shipments to Alaska it becomes own protection should produce every possible bit of more apparent than that Alaskans for their food this summer that they can and stock up now on as many staples their purses and their caches will permit.
 There is enough food in Alaska to keep going if we never get anything from the Outside, if we will only take the trouble to harvest and preserve it.

states, as well as mos; of the At lantic coast, have been clamoring for barges made of wood or steel or anything with which to haul oil through the inland waterways. These waterways are safe from submarines, cost taxpayers millions of dollars, yet they are relatively unused during crisis when the open seas contain lurking death.
 So far the Maritime Commission has dawdled inexcusably regarding wooden barges. But now the Navy may have the answer. The Bureau of Ships has developed a certain type of plastic, made of hgnum, which is sufficiently durable to use in the hulls of small ships.
 The plan is still in the experi- mental stages, but it may be the answer to the oil barge problem.
