The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-07-31


 Soon after getting out the July IT'S number of The Pennsylvania Magazine, Paine and Aiken part ed company.
 At first Paine considered him. self in hard luck for a war to break out in America just as he got here and found a good job for himself.
 At that time it was the cus- tom to discuss public questions by anonymous pamphlets and letters to the newspapers. And by the end of Paine's first year in Amer ica he resolved upon shrewd plan identifying himself with the patriot cause by writing and pulp fishing a series of popular anony- nous pamphlets.
 The material for theae pam phlets was not at all original with Paine; it had all been written and spoken again and again for more than ten years by the leading patriots of the Colonies.
 Of course Paine was clever in his choice of 'Common-Sense' for a pseudonym.
 He succeeded in finding a fin- ancial packer to get out the first issue of 'Common-Sense', which made big hit from the start, the identity of the writer being unkoWn.
 However, Pairc soon disclosed his identity and began 'cashing- in on his lucky-strike'.
 The 'metamorphosis' of Paine at that time is unprecendented: In TITS bemoaning his hard luck because a war broke out in Amer ica just as he had arrived and found a good job for himself at a salary of 50E 8 year;--and 8 year later, his fortune made and his head buzzing with visions of worldwide adventure.
 His ambition and his 'galp knew no bounds. He was glutton fol praise for himself, but resented praise for anybody else.
 He was jealous of patriot war heroes, and avoided mentioning them in his pamphlets.
 He was given clerical position in the army, but didn't keep it long because he talked too much and was not to be trusted.
 In his pamphlets Pairc strove for catchy phrases, as he did in 'Common-Sense', with his best known words--"These are the times that try mems souls"
 Paine was so pleased with that line that he repeated 1t probably a thousand times. drunk and sober and in maudlin moods of self.pity when he complained o1 Americas lack of appreciation Of him.
 But in all his pamphlets Paine makes no mention of the sublime dying words of Connecticut's NATHAN HALE:
 MY ONLY REGRET IS THAT
 I HAVE ONLY ONE LIFE
 TO LOSE FOR MY COUN-
 TRY"
 Nor in all of Paine's pamphlets is there any mention of a not able incident connected with the patriot army's winter at Valley Forge.
 It was when General Washing ton appealed to his good friend, Governor Jonathan Trumbuu or Connecticut for food for his starving soldiers, and Brother Jonathan as Washington affec- tionately called him, sent a hurry call for the State leaders. prompt ly raised $2O0 00O., bought a great herd of cattle and had them driven in mid-winter to Valley Forge with the compliments of Connecticut.

Nazis Declare Emergency
To Deal With Port Crisis
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, July 1.-Serious unrest
and disorganiza ton caused by RAF
raids has forced the Nazis to declare
state of emergency in German
ports and name shipping commits
sioner with unlimited powers, Tass
news agency reported today under
Stockholm dateline.
The commissioner is a Nazi named
Kaufman, Gauleiter of Hamburg,
Tass said.
Confronted by unrest among sea-
men and longshoremen and disrup-
ton of shipping by the destruction
or damage of port facilities and
large numbers of ships in Bremen,
Emden, Lubbock and Hamburg,
Kaufman's first act was proclama-
ton of the state of emergency for
all German ports, Tass declared.

Bishop Of Berlin Seen
As Participant in
Opposition TO Hitler
Critical Sermon Revealed
Along With Anti-Nozi
Manifestations by Priest
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. July 1-Disclosure yes
terdav Of a critical sermon deliv-
cred Sunday by the Bishop of Berlin,
Count Konrad Won Preysing- -Lich-
tenegg Moos, coupled with recent
anti-Nazi manifestations by Cath
olic priests in occupied countries,
have led informed British sources to
the belief there might be the begin
ming of co-ordinated church opposi-
ton to Adolf Hitler.
The Bishop Of Berlin, speaking on
the 25th anniversary of the conse-
Grafton of the Pope, was reported
to have said:
Justice deriving from God can
not be replaced by justice derived
from the state. 1t is fatal mistake
to believe that the state is the high
est expression of divinity We pray
for love in the world for all, both
friend and foe"
The Belgian government in exile
here, reported that Catholic priest
had been arrested at LeVal-Tra-
hegnies by German military police
for preaching an anti-Nazi sermon.
Catholic priests in other parts of
Belgium, it was said, have refused
to hold services for Belgian Nazis
killed in Russia or to marry men,
bers of the pro-Nazi ReXist party.
For the first time in Hollands s
religious history, the Catholic
Church last April collaborated with
the Dutch Reformed Protestant
Church on a pastoral letter advising
young Dutchmen not to join the
Nazi labor service.
In Norway, state police had to be
called to intervene before the church
could be opened for the ordination
of Nazi bishop in Oslo.
The Oslo clergy of the state
church continue to regard Eivind
Berggrav, deposed by the Nazis, as
the head of the church.
