Up to late lost year, all we possessed
was potential power, unusuabIe against
Hitler. 1t was like q sofe fence, q long
way off, with q mad bull chasing US
through q posture The fence would
stop the bull, but how could we reach it
before we we're gored to death?
Then the bull permitted himself to be
diverted. Hitler stopped to polish off
Russia, and caught q tartar We kept
racing toward the fence-toWord build

would make US, and not Hitler, invinci-

Nowwe knowwe can make the fence.
We're not out Of danger. We may yet
stumble and fall. But if we do, we can
blame only ourselves.
In 1910, General Marshall told US
fronkIywe should have to spend 100 bill

spent less than IS billions. Meanwhile

LAVAL, kAZI SLAYER

It is something more than q month
since Nozi decree increased working
hours in French factories. That decree
fOreshodowed the move now made by
Pierre Laval, Vichy Chief Of Govern
ment to send French workers into Ger
many. BY increasing work hours when
there was already insufficient work to
go round, the Nozis caused many
Frenchnen to be thrown out Of their
jobs, thus enlorgng Frances labor sur
plus and causing many French workers
to face q hopeless future.
After several weeks Of this "softeninq
UP" process, the Nozi mouthpiece, L.
val, steps forward with an "oppeoI"
to Frenchmen to separate themselves
from homeland and from families and
offer their services in Germany to the
wouId-be noster-rdce Of Europe. On
these terms, the Nozis are to return
some French prisoners Of war.
Laval must know as we'll as anyone
else that he is adding one more betrayal
to the many that the French people have
suffered at his hands. He knows he is
merely asking civilians to become pris-
oners Of the Third Reich in the place of
soldiers.
But his reasons are clear. He states
that he "desires q German victory"
This, he says, is for Frances sake, to
prevent France from being "cheoted."
Such O remark must produce ironic
laughter among Frenchmen. 1t will
not produce many voluntary French
workers for German factories. But it
is obvious that means Of compuIsion
we're being devised weeks ogo in the
Maxi program Of sobotoging French
