A FORECAST

Assistant Secretary of State A. A. Berle, in a speech for a Greek Day Independence dinner in New York recently declared that this summer will make it plain that the Nazi rulers of Germany have lost the war and have decreed their ruin.
 Berle claimed that his office has informa- that the Germans, themselves, know that there can be but one end. The German people know as we know" he said, that provision has been made for the Nan government for 1943"
 The Assistant Secretary of State went on to say that the Germans no longer can repair the chimes they need to produce machines, that they lack trained men that the men being sent to the slaughter on the Russian Front half-trained boys ea
 m Although the propaganda effect of such state ment by of leading officials should not be overlooked. we are inclined to take this statement by Berle without the usual customary grain of salt. It is certainly the Governments policy to under estimate the power of it's enemy to the American people.
 Thus it appears the long predicted fall of the Nazi war machine is swaying in the breeze. Recent hints from London that American force is ready ing for an invasion of Continental Europe under Chief of Staff Gen Marshall may provide the strong gust of wind that will finish the job With Hitler out Of the way, and Mussoni already washed up, the in the Pacific would be attended to with little more speed.

priests and nuns who can speak French, for service in the friendly Republic of Haiti.
 A dangerous situation has de- velcped in Haiti, whose people are influenced by French priests try ing to undermine Haitian loyalty to the United States
 That loyalty is most important for Haiti guards one entrance to the Caribbean and Panama.
 Haitian President Ellie Lescot is an ardent friend of the United States, and though the memory of U. S. Marines still rankles in Haiti, it was one of the first Latin American countries to declare war on Japan after Pearl Harbor Haiti also declared war on Germany and Italy even before the United States
 But President Lescots influence is being thwarted by anti American influence eXerted through French priests in the churches and schools of Haiti. So the State Department is cooperating with President Les cot in getting Catholic clergy from the U. S. A.

BATAAN FALLS

Bataan Peninsula has at last fallen. It inevitable. Most Americans realized that the gal lant American and Filipino forces, outnumbered ten to one in too difficult position to receive supplies from America sooner or later would fall like great oak that has been hacked at continuously.
 But Bataan is not lost The bloodstaned fox holes of Bataan are destined to become famous in American history the bloodsained footprints in the snow on the road to Trenton became after the American Revolution.
 The War Department has announced that 36853 effective troops were fighting when the Jap horde finally broke through For months this little army first under the leadership of Gen Douglas MacArthur then under Lieut. Gen Jonathan Wainwright has proven it's superiority over the Japanese force Sure ly, battlefield on any front has such an amaz ing stand been made by any force
 Cut off from supplies and achievements fight ing 24 hours a day, surely force has had greater difficulties to contend with. Any force at such disadvantage this would have had every reason to surrender long ago. But the miracle that this unit wouldn't give up. Its had to face death and laugh at it constantly. They fought with doggedness characteristic of Americans and have set an example for the whole world
 There men like the heroes in Bataan's little army in all American forces everywhere Men like Captain Jesus Villamor who routed 54 Jap planes with his squadron of six like grenade tossing old Joe LonglInife swearing Lieut. Roland Saunier, and footballer Corporal Peter Flame-all who per- formed deeds as great as any in history We've got millions of like these in the American forces and we're going to be using them
 The propagandists will be telling a hundred different for why Bataan was taken. The War Department has pointed out it because of lack of endorsements which could not be transported and because the little force forced to give ground of cha rbot 6c ooblo
 The stand cn Bataan has been a great inspra- tion to us the home front. It has been a great stand and will not be forgotten
 The best thing do for these men who fell on Bataan Peninsula is to get mad hell right now and go out and buy some more War Bonds!

CANADA'S EXAMPLE

The United States has opportunity to profit by the recent example set by the Dominion of Can ada when Canada demonstrated the remarkable ef- fectveness of newspaper advertising in marketing it's great war loan. The bond issue was heavily over subscribed, surprising Canada's II 100000
 Estimates of the cost of advertising in the news papers with relation to the total sale, place that figure at not more than percent.
 To date the United States has made no com parable effort to mobilize public funds Canada, membering it's experiences with governmental ad- vertisng in the last war, has used proven method of selling the hope of victory to it's people An Ad- Vertsng Council has been set up in the United States and indications that the council is beginning to function to extent Let's hope it takes it's cue from it's northern neighbor.
 Let us hope also that if the government extends great amount of advertising patronage, agree ment similar to that in Canada between the press and the government is worked out In Canada, a specific agreement states that editorial freedom shall in way be affected by government advertising
 Advertising is an American institution. It is time that government realizes its importance and en- lists this huge giant of American industry in the effort.

AND WORSE

Dle-....d stubbornness and in- efficiency are only one part of the sour shipbuilding picture. The in vestigators have come across the trail of the other things that emit an odor
 Among the charges they are prob ing are
 l. That repairs on a Russian ship, sent over for a cargo of ur- gently needed war supplies, were deliberately" stalled in one yard for weeks According to informa- ten given investigators. the re- pairs ordinarily could have been completed in a week. Instead the job took more than a month as q result of deliberate" delays caused by a constant shifting of workers, assigning workers without tCoiS. withholding materials, and other dilatory tactics.
 2. That scores Of workers draw ing high pay are constantly stand ing around idle at another dry dock because of lack of efficient production methods. Also that "overcrowding and overlooking" of ships is a common occurrence at this plant.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1942-04-10

3. That more than 50 high-pay craftsmen at third plant worked from six weeks to four months on the private homes and farms of certain company executives and that their pay was charged to the government. Also that large quan- titles of shipbuilding material-3,0 900 feet of cable, copper tubing, paint, electrical and plumbing equipment paid for by the government, went into this private work Also that a landscape gardener engaged in this work received a $l,700 company check.
