there comes difficulty of assailing

the situation compels their reitera-
tion of their absolute fealty to the

devious in their assaults.
Stripped of the camouflage, the

the output of the short-wave

These broadcasts are of course
directed to the American people.
1t IS quite possible that they were
engendered by the extravagant po-

wise it would be hard to figure

Now For the Axis Fictionists
We have had recently some of
another sort of propaganda from

Dutch Harbor was an occupation

If there is any similarity in the
subject matter of the respective
broadcasts, l am quite sure that
it is a mere literary coincidence
Naturally, Mr.. Kelland, being a ia
nous fictionist, expresses himself
more gracefully than Mr.. Hitler's
radio announcer.
A Literary Coincidence, Possibly
Indeed the COPS official press
agent goes a little farther than
the disguised Axis spokesman, for
while the latter in the course of
the broadcast, an excerpt from
which introduces this column, says
"Not that we can hope to win a
clear-cut victory, or even enough
to Oust these foreign, un-American
elements that have usurped the
power behind our Government
Mr.. Kelland, discussing the effort
of the Republicans to gain control
of the House of Representatives
told us that "the outlook for the
Republican party is bright and will
grow brighter" as the people see
the need for change.
The logic of Mr.. Kelland's argu-
ment is simple and comprehen-
sible. He has job to do: to win
the election Of Republican Con-
gressmen. Either he, or those
who tell him what to do, reason
that their best attack is on the ad-
ministration. Their actual target
is, of course, the President, but

Bomberger already has been vot-

Editor Meyer Peace and
Freedom Are Alike
IndiviSible

Looking ahead to a United Ma
tlons victory over the Axis powers
Eugene Meyer, editor and publish
er OF the Washington Post, a Re-
publican newspaper, has warned
America against another postwar
retreat into Shangri-la of isola-
ton and normalcy as in 1919.
This country, Mr.. Meyer said in
an address, must participate not
grudgingly but fully in the
maintenance of the worlds peace.
Obviously, he said. no system of
peace could have any meaning un-
less it had adequate force behind
it-a nucleus of power capable of
being modified and effectively
employed.
Victory cannot be an end in it.
self" Mr.. Meyer said. That was
the mistake of 1919. Victory, in
itself, does not mean peace. 1t
can only mean the creation of a
state of affairs in which peace can
be achieved and maintained. And
the maintenance of peace must be
a continuous process. Peace must
forever renew itself.
What are we fighting for? Is it
merely to end the present menace
that threatens our Nation and all
other free nations in the world?
No. Before Hitler, there was the
Kaiser. Hitler may have his sue
cessors, unless, once we have
achieved victory, we see to it that
no future Hitlers can arise, either
in Germany or elsewhere.
And that means the cooperative
effort of peace-loving nations, in
Guiding the United States. This
cooperative effort must involve a
pooling of power. But it cannot
stop there. This aggregation of
power must have definite aims and
ideals in view"
Mr. Meyer said that President
Roosevelt, Vice President Wallace,
Undersecretary Of State Welles
and other high officials deserved
much credit for emphasizing that
the peace must be dynamic
continuous process of action not
merely in the political sphere, but
in the economic sphere as we'll.

STRATEGY:
Nazis First

Much interest throughout the Unit
ed Nations has long centered on the
broad or general plan for defeating
the Axis. Always there have been
theories advanced which often seem
to have little basis in fact. Others
again have highly legitimate tone.
One Of the most recent explana-
tions of such strategy, and one of
more plausible presentations of it
is that advanced by Prime Minister
John Curtin of Australia. In cur
rent statement he declared that
President Roosevelt and Winston
Churchill decided even before the
fall Of Singapore February Is, 1912
that the most necessary job was to
beat Hitler and then take after
Japan.
Thus the campaign in the South
Pacific and on the Australian con-
tinent becomes one of a holding"
action. He warned his countrymen
that they might have to endure
strong air and sea-borne attack
from the Japanese forces based on
the island of Timor. He urged them
to further prepare themselves for
such action.
He pointed out that the closest
cooperation exists between the Aus
tralian government, General Mac
Arthur and Admiral Chester Nimitz,
commander of the U. S. feet in the
Pacific.

RUSSIA:
Central Front

Although Nazi forces have been
hard pressed in Russia, military OBJ
servers were quick to warn against
undue optimism. Despite a grave
strain on their communications, Ger
man forces were said to be showing
no signs Of faltering in defensible
positions.
Generally speaking, news was
good. The Red army drove seven
miles deeper into enemy lines on
the central front near Velilkie Lulki,
recapturing Is settlements, while
the Germans failed in their drive
to regain the initiative on the Stain
grad front.
On the central front the Russians
attacked with ski troopers support
ed by tanks painted white. This
front extends northwest OF Moscow,
roughly from Rzhev to Velkie Luki.
Russian reports said the Nazis
were trying not only to smash the
Soviet offensive but also to start
one of their own, evidently In the
belief that the Red army is exhaust
ed after their continuous attack.

In 1922, Harvard university set up
a consulting staff in Europe, which
included Sir William Beveridge Of

the reconstruction years. Sir VIII

the old ground rules and the
tradition that the pursuit Of an

From Moscow, Idaho, where Mr..

JAP DEFEAT:
In South Pacific

When Allied forces, directed by
General Macarthur, occupied the
Coma area Of New Guinea, the Japs
lost the northern anchor of their
ever-diminishing beachhead in Pa
pua, which already has been badly
sliced by veteran American and
Australian jungle fighters.
This new defeat left the Japs
hernmed in narrow coastal strip
centering on the Buna area, II miles
to the south.
First announcement Of the Coma
victory was made by Prime Minister
John Curtin, who gave the news as
he was conducting a review of the
war before the house Of representa-
tives in Canberra, Australia. His
announcement was made 16 days
after an Allied headquarters COM
munique had announced the origi-
nal Australian entry into Coma.
The Japs had landed at Coma on
July ~ and from that area launched
their invasion drive which took them
across the Owen Stanley mountain
range to within 80 miles of the AL
lied base at Port Moresby.

However, he doesn't make the mis-

High Tor is to Mr.. Anderson the

would grind the cosmos through
their rock-crushers, and also the
symbol of certain ideas with which
he garlanded it in his play, High

and has rallied behind Mr.. Ander-

Hudson, and we know that remotely

As head Of the committee to
save High Tor, Mr.. Anderson is
engaged in an effort to prove
himself poor prophet. In his
play, he pr0phesied that the
man who owned it ultimately
would sell it to the quarry COM

Many canned foodstuffs are elimi-
