entire body has settled down 10 a
controversial fight which threat

Internal fighting is apparent
from the manner in which the fight
is being conducted. Senators who
have heretofore stood side by side
are now bitterly denouncing each
other on the floor and personalities
are being injected into the fight to
prevent the introduction Of the
bill.

tossed to the winds when McKellaU

The visit to the United States Of
King George II Of Greece serves as q
reminder Of the valiant role the Greek
people have played in the present
struggle for world freedom. They Them
selves personified one of the first is
sues thot arose, namely the right Of
small peoples to independence. Facing
overwhelming odds, the Greeks chose
to fight, and showed remarkable broV-
cry
For their loyal and heroic port in
our common fight, they have paid on
extremely heavy price. Not only have
they suffered very large military losses,
but greater economic hordshps than
any country in Europe. Their land does
not produce enough to feed either the
factories or the people, Most Of Greece
is quite barren. Food imports have al
ways been large. Now factories are
closing, business is coming to O stand
still and the cupboard is bare. No ally
in this struggle is more worthy Of help.
Lost winter the Greek War Relief
Association and the international Red
Cross we're feeding 100000 people out
of Athens 100000. Recently refugees
reported 100000 starving on Greek
islands. Greece's one-tine enemy, Tur-
KEEP, has sent food and offered to take
care Of children. Among other neutroIs
the Swiss have helped with diplomatic
services and the Swedes with ships.
Food is available, international agree
ments now insure sofe conduct for

portont in the end-since 1918 Ham,
burg hos been the Communist capital
of non-Sovet Europe. While Hitler was
rising, Moscow had in Hamburg an or
oonizotion which-if the Comintern
had not out-smorted itseIf-couId have
stopped the Austrian house painter in
his tracks and saved the world from
its current trouble.
BY misjudging relative nuisance
values - by playing with the Nozis
against the Socialists, the boIonce-of-
power Communists eIped Hitler OBJ
tain the oscendoncy, and then in turn
became victims Of his ferocity.
Even then, the Hamburg Comnu-
MIST cells resisted longer and more Sue
cessfuIIy than those elsewhere. There
is reason to suppose that through oil
those years while Hitler was supreme
that it was suicidal for q Red to show
his head in the Reich, nuclei cells con-
tinued to function in Hamburg.
If this is the case, it seems reason
able to speculate that these Comnu-
mist organizations now ore taking od-
vantage of the misery and discomfort
in Germany, Of the wars wrecking Of
Homburg's vital foreign shipping in
dustry, of the terrible bombing which
Britain has showered upon Eomburg,
to stir up internal revolt against the

HOW TO HELP

The time has passed when anybody
could sit back comfortably and explain
that he would do something to help in
the war if he knew what there was to
be done by civilians.
The news columns now ore filled
with specific ideos Uncle Sam needs
scrap steel, old rubber, tin cans, waste
paper. Uncle Sam needs money, for
which he will poy more than any other
Al borrower. Uncle Sam asks US TO
save our tires, by slow, careful, limited
driving He asks US to carry our pack

You can think Of plenty more. The
deo is this: If you're not helping now,
