enough, to fight this thing. Il takes q
hope In a better world 10 come, q world
better than we have known, 10 rally men
10 defeat the Nagi menace
We who have known freedom, who have
been born In freedom, knowing only flee
dom all our lives, are secure la our convic-
ton that only under freedom can those
new goals be achieved, There Is not yet 8
plausible blueprint of just how they
may be achieved, nor even Of exactly
what they are, But given freedom, we
know the course is forward Every free
man and woman bears his or her share IN
dreaming this dream, holding fast to
faith In 1t, achieving 1t In action. There
are hopeful signs that new spirit Is be-
ing born. Out Of the dreary years Of de-
preston, out of the whlrlwind of World
War II, 1t is coming.
A sense OF social responsibility Is the
key, Scientists who formerly labored
without thought Of what was to be the
use of their inventions and developments
are beginning to ask those questions,
Professional men are beginning to realize
that they do not live in vacuum sealed
away from the world but that they are
functioning part of 1t. Organized labor,
nearing triumphs of power Is only now
beginning to see that It's power of itself Is
nothing, that unless 1t Is fitted into q
social scheme offering chance for all,
1t defeats itself Business men will never
again be the utterly self-centered opera
tor of the early twenties, for they have
seen with disconcerting clarity that there
Is no welfare for business separate from
the welfare of working and middle-claSS
people, New relationships between gov
eminent as representing the common well,
fare of all, and business, regional, indus
trial and labor groups representing the
welfare Of fractions, are in the making,
not clearly understood as yet, but CROP
ingly forming Were we incapable OF
learning, of adjusting ourselves to the
new, of creating institutions as need for
them arises, all would be hopeless But
we are learning, and in that lies our hope.

Robin Hood Rides Again

While we ring the rafters, and rightly
so, with praise for General Macarthur,
the Kellys, OHares and other heroes,
there fights in the hills and mountains OF
Yugoslavia little band which Is keeping
an estimated 100000 axis soldiers up
nights. The Robin Hood army Of Gen
eral Draja Mihajlovitch repeatedly has
killed at least $4,000 German and italian
soldiers since that Balkan nation was
overwhelmed"
This guerilla Battle OF the Balkans
might be almost as important as any
now in progress, since the more axis troops
sent to keep the wild Serbs from general
uprising, the fewer men Hitler can send to
the Russian front. Besides, the Yugoslavs
are setting fine fighting example for the
other occupied countries = and for Amer
lea. Such fighters undoubtedly will sit
closer to the head Of the peace conference
table than some nations which took II
lying down.

The meeting represented a new
move to a. get away from the
isolatlonist leadership OF Chair
man Joe Martin, and (2) chart
q future Republican program OF
100 per cent support for the war,
coupled with fairminded criticism
of war inefeiciency In Washing

The meeting was not called by
Willkie himself, but took place at
the suggestion OF various Repub-
lican leaders. They reported TO
him that they were worried over
the Republican party assuming an
isolationist position; and that such
q large number of Republicans
in Congress had voted against
every defense measure before our
entrance into tho war. They also
said they wanted 10 make sure
that Republicans did not start q
movement to do what the Repub-
leans did to Woodrow Wilson's
peace plans after the first World
War.

1t be carried By Republican iso-

wanted, they said, was q House OF
Representatives next fall, but they
were concerned lest 1t be carried
by Republican isolationlsts. The

DEGAULLE ARRESTS ADMIRAL
Uncensored diplomatic dis
patches indicate that things are
not going well inside the Free
French organization. Admiral
Muselier, head OF the Free French
fleet, has actually been placed un-
der arrest by General DeGaulle
In London.
General DcGaulle has his own
barracks and headquarters In Lon
don and Is given the extra terri
torial status OF q foreign gov
eminent. Therefore. he can Inn
prison any OF his officers on Bri-
tish soil and the British have
nothing to BAY about II. Thus
Muselier Is imprisoned In Lon
don.
10 far, word Of Admiral Mu-
sellers arrest has not leaked
out except 10 members Of the
Ere French fleet, who are re-
ported 70 be up In arms. In
fact, other Free French naval
officers have served notice on
De Gaulle that unless Mu-
seller Is released Immediately,
the entire Free French fleet will
join the British navy.
