TO THE EDITOR:

HUGH S. JOHNSON thinks
- it's a blot to our country
TO raise the soldiers pay.
What would happen if our SOL

his wife, mother, father, and Sis
ter, friends, position. home, and
then travel 5000 miles in order
10 fight a d die for S21 per

The obligation TO fight TO save
ones country does not rest on
the heads of men up TO as years
of age alone. This country be-
longs to all the people. not only
those in uniform. Why must
they work for S21 per month
while others with children, too
old. or the selected chosen, stay
home and draw a four figure,
salary each month?
| do not think il would be a
blot on my country or my soul
TO see that our soldiers have
more pay, so that they might

The Governor said he believed
that Georgia also is entitled to be

German press on February IS,
wouldn't yield tangible agricultural
the German people by Hitler and
results until 1943. Before the Rus
sian campaign every German had
been led to believe that grain and
other raw materials would pour in
from the Ukraine from the moment
of its conquest.
Speaking on the German me-
mortal day, March 16, Hitler told
his people the Russians definitely
would be beaten this summer. A
month and 10 days later in an ad-
dress to the Reichstag he promised
that German transportation In the
east would be better next winter
than last. This was a wet blanket
for millions of Germans and seemed
to indicate Hitler expects to face
another Russian winter.
The Reichstag speech was a blum
der in another way: 1t revealed
even to the most obtuse how far all
personal liberty had gone and how
one man abrogated not only all
legislative and executive powers
but even all judicial perogatives TO
himself.
Even annual vacations would be
taken from them at the fuehrer's
demand. AS though to rub this fact

u. S. Stand Unchanged
Despite Loyoi's Efforts

Persisten efforts by Pierre Laval
to shake official indifference here
to his attitude on American pro-
posals concerning French posses
sions in this hemisphere appeared
last night only to have strengthened
United States determination to see
to it that the territories involved
are divorced from conrol of his pro-
Axis Vichy government.
Layals declaration yesterday that
he had rejected most of the pro-
posals submitted by this Govern
ment to Admiral Georges Robert at
Martinique met silence at the State
Department, in line with a policy
laid down by Secretary of State
Hull of giving no official attention
to Vichys attitude.
What was described authorita-
lively as copy of note reported
to have been put in circulation at
Vichy was said to have been re-
ceived at the State Department, al
though it was not addressed to this
Government. 1t was assumed to be
a copy of Lavals instructions to
Admiral Robert.
However, State Department Off
cials would not comment on this
assumption and refused to discuss
any details Of current negotiations
except to re-emphasize that they
are being conducted directly with
Admiral Robert, who will continue
to be recognized as the ultimate
governing authority" of Frances
New World possessions if he accepts
proposed arrangements.
Discussions were said to be con-
tinuing on less important phases of
the proposals to eliminate any pos
sibility of Axis menace from the
French possessions after the actual
beginning of work earlier in the
week on demobilization Of French
warships at Martinique.

Doriot Leading Move
To Assist Germans
with French Arms
Asserts He Is Willing
To Head Volunteer Unit
To Fight in Africa
By the Associated Press,

os tuN hnSUCldIcQ fIcos.
BERN, Switzerland, May 16.-
Jacques Doriot, leading French pro-
Nazi in Paris, is championing the
movement to bring France into mil
itary cooperation with the Axis, it
was reported today, and foreign OBJ
servers expressed belief he might
step into Pierre LavaPs place if
full collaboration is not accom-
plished soon.
In a speech at St. Denis last
night, Doriot said he had urged
war against England since the at
tack on the Dunkerque.
(The French battleship Dun
kerque, 265OO tons, was shelled,
set on fire and beached at Mers-
el-Kebir on July 8, 1910. by the
British and bombed on July g.
Had France gone to war against
England then, he added, her inter-
national position would be brighter
now.
Doriot declared his willingness to
lead volunteer corps to fight in
Africa if what he called Official
France" was not capable of re-
gaining her colonies.
This reference to volunteers and
Africa acquired added significance
in view of discussions by the Span
ish Ambassador with Chief of Gov
ernment Laval and other leaders in
Vichy in the last few days.
Foreign political observers said
they believed Spain was trying to
effect an agreement with the French
on North African colonies, with
mutual decisions on the degree to
which their use by the Axis was
acceptable.
While the press Of occupied
France adhered to the Doriot line,
it appeared that Laval was trying
to steer a cautious course.
One informed Vichy dispatch
said Laval does not like England
and favors collaboration, but is mo
friend of violence"
Laval was in Paris yesterday, but
1t was not disclosed whether he saw
ReichSmarshal Goering, who re-
Gently was reported in Paris, or
whether Goering has returned to
Germany.
1t was clear, however, that France
was ending another week without
announcement Of decisions, expect
ed in informed quarters since last
Sunday, concerning Italy and new
territorial pressure, Madagascar,
and military collaboration.

United States note plrportedly

High Commissioner for Frances
American possessions, on May 9,
as made public here today by
Pierre LaUal:
1.-THE United States has not
made public any notes TO Admiral
Robert in connection NTH nego-
tiations lUith the French High
Commissioner.
The present chief of the Vichy
Government having announced ht
would follow a policy of greater col.
laboration with Germany, it NJ

Government to maintain the accorc
concluded by Admirals Greenslade
and Horns regarding French pos
sessions in the Western Hemisphere
accords which until now have beer
considered satisfactory.
Under these accords the French
possessions could be used by the
Axis as bases of aggression, either
with the consent Of the High Com
missioner or through arrival OF q
new high commissioner. 1t must
be taken into consideration that
Germany will exercise pressure tt
this end and that these possessions
are under orders of Monsieur Laval

Admitting that Christmas gifts
were scant and scarce and the ira
ditional candles were missing be-
cause all available supplies had been
sent to the Russian front, Goebbels
suddenly warned the people not to
forsake their leaders and the fight
ing troops as they had done in 1918.
1t was decidedly poor psychology
to remind Germans of their defeat
in 1918 so soon after the declara-
tion of war on the United States.
1t was even worse psychology to
admit the possibility Of a recur-
renee of 1918.
Hardly we're the CHI istmas days
over when a further blow to Ger
man morale was delivered by the
Reich's sport leader, who urged
every patriot to surrender his skis.
Only 376,000 pairs of skis were
donated as a result Of this appeal
to a nation extremely fond of Slip
ping over snow on boards.
So the government got busy jerk
ing sluggish patriots out of their
lethargy. A public announcement
was made that no public convey

ONCE work for the army A recent
order states that every German girl
working in the occupied countries
should have "as many children as
possible" matrimony not required
These German" children will be
taken over by the Nazi government
at birth, and returned to the Reich
to be brought up at the cost of the
state.
Thus Hitlers women are degraded
to the status of animals whose only
function is to bear children as often
as possible. Nazi morals hit a new
low last summer in the Camp for
the improvement of the Nordic
Race" near >Lodz, Poland.
First large number of German
girls between the ages of Is and Is
were settled in the camp. Then play
ing fields, swimming pools, class
rooms, hostels and number of .huts
to accommodate two persons were
built
When the preparations were COM
pleted, Nazi authorities in the Lodz
and Poznan districts conducted mass
raids through which they collected
large number of Polish boys and
girls of strong physique and blond,
German appearance. These young
Poles were SEM to Lodz for thor
ough medical examination. Those
with chronic diseases or physical
deficiencies were sent home. The
healthy ones were not so lucky.
Sorted into Groups.
They were sent TO the camp where
they were sorted into groups accord
ing 20 age and sex. One couple
either German boy and a Polish
girl, OF Polish boy and German girl
were assigned to each hut. Their
daily routine started at 6 in the
morning and ended with lights out
at 10 pm, and included many hours
of athletics, military drill and
classroom study. Although German
housewives were having a hard time
