On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph
Goebbels on the occasion of "Shick-
elgruber" Hitler's 53ro birthday, asked
the German people to pray for "our
Hitler" so that he may increase and
multiply his works" If the German
people fall for this line of gobble
it will show that the nation as q
whole is behind the satanical
"Fuehrer," statements to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. 1t is also our
opinion that the prayers viii have no
effect in the eyes of God and that
they viii be filed away for reference
for the duration. We also have an
opinion that the German people
should speak for themselves and not
for Hitler or his unholy henchmen.
They will need all the spiritual sup
port they can muster to rid them
selves of the Hitler incubus, from
now on. They will also need the
spiritual guidance to get hack on the
books of a just Diety from which
they slipped in 1914 and from which
they have been missing since Why
pray to a God they forgot when they
put Hitler and "Gobble" in his place.

Remember Pearl HarbOr

Production Director Donald Nelson
is appealing for vastly increased in
dustrial output on 24-hour day,
seven days week basis. He says man
power is present to furnish this kind
of maximum production and that we
will need every ounce of it to win
the war. A government official has
said that this is impossible until we
quit thinking of less work for more
money; not while there is greater
concern about overtime pay than
overtime production; not while an
army of federal press agents clamor
to promote and perpetuate activities
that have no present need or value;
not while fifth columnists are PAM
pered and enemy aliens move freely
in defense areas and in some cases
are put at the head of vital commit
tees to gum up the works by their
egotistical importance and sabotage
war efforts being made by others.
Further he said "we will not have
maximum production, in short. unless
first, we fully realize our awful peril
and second, get over the "gimmes"
"Gimme shorter hours, gimme higher
wages, gimme bigger profits, gimme
overtime, gimme less work, gimme
more pensions, gimme greater cror
benefits, gimme more appropriation
and patronage, gimme fees and dues tt
