COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

heroic fight against Hitler's forces.
For the first time in this war the So
Wet forces are able to stem the tide
and start a powerful counter offensive.
And this is the moment selected by
Stain for the arrest of the Social
Democrats and Socialists who are the
most outspoken opponents of Hitler.
At this moment he institutes new
terror. Does Stain plan that all free
dom loving citizens, simultaneously
with their JOY about the victories over
Hitler, should sense the threat of
Stalin's jails and concentration camps?
"This policy is completely unintel-
ligible from any realistic political or
military point of view. Nothing will
raise the moral prestige of Soviet Rus
sia in the entire democratic world
more than full amnesty to all Social
lists and anti-fascists in Russia. This
should include not only Polish citizens,
but Russians as WELL"
Reports from Oslo show that the
Norwegian economy under the Ger
mans and Quisling has reached the
brink of very serious crisis, or even
of calamity. This is largely due to
the enormous cost of the German oc-
cupation and to other contributions
which have been imposed upon the
population; and also to the effects of
military work, which is not only nom
productive in itself, but has withdrawn
labor from civilian employment. More
over, there is an acute scarcity of raw
materials which threatens to cause a
cessation of industry.
The Svenska Dagbladet says that
the direct charge for the German oc-
cupation which has been imposed
amounts to 2,8oO,0O0,O00 kroner, not
including other costly services and
"kindnesses" that have been exacted
Other estimates place the cost of oc-
cupation thus directly raised from the
population at more than 3,000,000,0 ,00C
kroner.

ECONOMY" ARGUMENT
BLASTED

Ruthless slashing of appropriations
for non-defense spending by the gov
ernment is deservedly denounced by
Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin in
his minority report opposing recon-
mendations of the Joint Economy Com
mittee. Senator LaFollette goes down
the line, pointing out the unsoundness
of the proposals for abolition of va
rious worthwhile government activ-
tiles.
To take one example, LaFollette
criticizes the proposed abolition of
peacetime activities of the National
Youth Administration, declaring that
the recommendation was based upon
"a dangerously false conception" of
defense activities, and "a mistaken be-
lief that the war situation permits the
federal government to shirk obliga-
tions which it could not afford to neg
lect in peacetime."
.'If it is necessary to preserve the
morale of youth when the nation IS
not in danger" he added, "it is doubly
important when the national security
is at stake"
LaFollette reported that 10000
young persons were now receiving ex-
perience and training in hospital and
health work, and that thousands more
were needed to meet the increasing
demands for the replacement of those
going into military service and over
seas.
During the eleven-month period,
from January through November, he
stated, nearly 100000 youths were
enabled to leave NYA projects to take
private employment.

CTRANGE news comes from Russia,
y by way of the Polish consulate in
Washington. The leaders of the Polish
Jewish Social Democratic Party, Hen
ryk Erlich and Victor Alter, have been
arrested in Kouibyshev, the temporary
seat of the Soviet Government. The
news reached the world the very day
new Soviet-Polish alliance was
signed between Joseph Stain and Gen.
Sikorsky, the leader of Free Poland.
Erlich and Alter were arrested by
Stalin's G. P. U. in September, 1889,
when they fled from the advancing
German armies to Soviet occupied ter
ritory. Nobody knows what Grimes"
the men had committed. However, the
two Polish leaders were strongly anti
Nazi and in view of the alliance exist
ing between the Russians and Ger
many then, it is not surprising that
the Russians jailed them. Quite likely
Stalin's men thought their action
would be pleasing 10 the Nazis, then
their buddies.
But when, as the New Leader, New
York, points out, Stain himself last
June became the victim of his pals of
yesterday, change in his policy to-
ward Polish anti-fascists was to be ex-
pected, and the signing of an under
standing with his recent Polish VIC
tins seemed to indicate such a change.
In September, 1941, Erich and AL
ter were freed on the basis of the So
viet-Polish pact and their first public
utterance was an appeal to their
friends in America to create united
military front with Soviet Russia, and
to Jewish immigrants in Russia to join
the Red Army against Hitler. 'Is ii
possible that this appeal serves as the
basis for jailing these men?" asks the
New Leader.
Commenting further on this astound
ing case, the New Leader says:
"The Russian army is conducting E

shrinks in transit time as the months
flick by, that address is at once a
sharp warning and a great reassur-
ance.
To hear again the seriousness of the
world issue which our fortunes are
involved, review again the Prime Min
ister's speech. We have long hard
road to victory, BUT 1T DOES LEAD
TO VICTORY! - C. M. w.

and the federal government condemns
such determinations and urges all en-
ployers not to adopt such policy"
he says.
Then Mr.. Biddle goes on to say
some things that will need emphasiz-
ing in the months and perhaps years
to come. He says:
"War threatens all civil rights; and
although we have fought wars before,
and our personal freedoms have sur
vived, there have been periods of gross
abuse, when hysteria and hate and
fear ran high, and when minorities
were unlawfully and cruelty abused.
Every man who cares about freedom,
about a government by law-and all
freedom is based on fair administra-
ton of the law-must fight for it for
the other man with whom his dis
agrees, for the right of the minority,
for the chance for the underprivileged
with the same passion of insistence as
he claims for his own rights.
"If we care about democracy, we
must care about it as reality for
others as well as for ourselves; yes,
for aliens, for Germans, for Italians,
for japanese, for those who are with
us as we'll as those who are against
US; for the Bill of Rights protects not
only American citizens but all human
beings who live on our American soil
under our American flag. The rights
of Anglo~Saxons, of Jews, of Cath
olics, of negroes, of Slavs, Indians
all are alike before the law And this
we must remember and sustain-that
is if we really love justice, and really
hate the bayonet and the whip and
the gun, and the whole Gestapo method
as way of handling human beings

You can think that over. YOU knew
we were going to be in the war. YOU
knew it long ago.
But there were SO many who didn't
know it and wouldn't believe it. Oh no,
nothing like that could happen. All we
had to do was to mind our own busi

Well, you see how it went. You see

Joined in the thunder of applause, just

their heads off for isolation, for any
thing that would hamper the Presi-
dent, for some kind of hiding in the
sand, which greatly encouraged the

Well, they have got over that. At
least in public they have got over it.
The thing to do is to praise, highly
and sincerely, those who sincerely
know that they were mistaken and
who want now to do all they can to

Time will surely reveal those who
have seemed to be converted, but in

Strikes Are Absent In
Three Weeks Of War

Washington, D. C.-During the first
three weeks of the war the nations
defense production was unimpeded by
strikes, reports of government agen-
cies disclosed.
The only walkout to make newspaper
headlines was one of handful of
welders in several West Coast ship
yards, seeking formation of "dual"
union. Dispatches from the coast said
the strike was ''fzzle," with A. F.
of L. unions living up to their closed
shop contracts and supplying all work
ers needed. Federal troops were sent
to some of the yards, but were with

Winston Churchill comes to the
United States, sleeps in the White
House and makes speech to the Con-
gress in joint session.
Someone said quite while ago, "it's
a small world, after ALL"
Britain and the United States work
out joint plan of action, for fighting
at points as far apart as Iceland and
Singapore, Dakar and the islands off
Canada, the Pacific and the Caribbean,
which the Latins pronounce one way,
and the English another way.
Yes, the world gets smaller every
day. 1t isn't any good to measure dis
tance in miles. Instead you measure
with knowledge of how long it takes
to get there.
The Philippines, it seems, were just

Islands no more than place to stop
over long enough to lay the eggs.
Los Angeles business men are up
in arms because the war has scared

they don't hop to Tokyo. But prob

Anyway, it seems there's plenty of
time for that. Listen to Winston

Railroad Men Soldiers
On Home Front, Says
Lehigh Valley Officer

New York City ILNS). - Every
railroad worker is soldier on the
home front, R. W. Brown, president of
the Lehigh Valley Railroad, said in a
holiday statement to the roads en-
ployes. He said that all "have rela-
tives or intimate friends either in the
service of our country or ready and
willing to serve" and continued:
"War is always fought on two
fronts-the military front and the
home front. Men at the military front
depend upon men at the home front
for the necessary equipment and sup
plies. In the main, production of
equipment and supplies depends upon
railroad transportation service that
is speedy, safe and dependable.
Therefore, when the United States
entered the war every railroad man
became soldier on the home front"

Health Center With
New Hospital Sought

Inclusion of a health center in
the new hospital which is planned
for the Bethesda-Chevy Chase
area is being urged by the Be-
thesda-C Chevy Chase Public Health
Lay Committee, headed by Mrs.
Louis A. Gravelle.
The present health center is
housed temporary in two rented
rooms on Hampden lane. This
space however, is inadequate for
all the clinical facilities which
should be available, Mrs. Gravelle
said.
Such facilities she added, should
include completely equipped We
nereal, dental and tuberculosis
clinics, Office space for the two
public health nurses and space for
health classes and committee
meetings.
Mrs. Randolph G. Bishop is
chairman of the group which is
seeking to obtain permanent and
adequate space for the health
center.
Although site has not yet been
obtained for the hospital, the Sub
urban Hospital Association is
pushing plans to raise funds for
the project, according to Randolph
G. Bishop, president of the Board
of Trustees.
Under the direction of Mrs.
Walter E. Perry, member of the
Board of Trustees, a woman's
auxiliary is being organized. It
will be limited to 100 members
during the first year.
