CHERRY TREE
Where with our Little Hatchet we tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly sometimes Hippantly, some
times recklessly.

Much talk goes the rounds to the
effect that the war will end, come
this fall.
Look out for that talk.
OF course, anything CAN happen
but that doesn't seem to be the thing
that WILL happen, or that is likely
to happen.
Victory will come to the United Ma

Nazis Arrest Workers

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) Broad
casts from Europe heard here say
that numerous arrests are being made
by the Gestapo of foreign workers
shipped into Germany for farm labor.
The broadcasts report the foreign la
borers deliberately destroyed seed and
sabotaged the sowing campaign.

Ut is significant of the vitality of
4 Europe's free labor movements
that 10 azi-dominated countries now
have trade union organizations in
Great Britain working in cooperation
with the British Trades Union Con-
gress. Tens of thousands of workers
exiled from their native lands are
now members, say latest reports.
Some information on the setting up
of the unions-in-ex has been given
in these columns. Now the movement
has attained a strength and impor
tance calling for a brief account of
its beginning and present state.
1t was the summer of 1940 when
plump, bespectacled young man
jumped on bicycle and rode almost
across France, always just few min
utes ahead of advancing German
tanks. The fugitive young man ped
allied hundreds of miles in two weeks.
That was the beginning of the for
eign trade unions in Great Britain, for
the young man was M. G. Stolz, a
Czech labor leader, who is now as
sistant secretary of the international
Federation of Trade Unions. The fed
Grafton originally had headquarters in
Paris, but when France collapsed he
moved to Les Salbles d'Olonne and the
general secretary, a Belgian named
Walter Schevenels, and the staff went
to Limoges.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1942-06-19

But as the Germans pounded closer
and closer Stolz fed to England. With
the help of Sir Walter Citrine, British
trade union leader, he was given an
office in the headquarters of the Brit
ish trade union movement and set to
work to build trades union organiza-
tions among the refugee workers who
were flooding into Britain from half a
dozen European states.
The first group Of workers to be or
ganized in Britain was the Belgians,
closely followed by the French. In
most countries the union leaders had
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1942-06-19

tions, surely.
But meanwhile the axis nations are
spreading plenty Of propaganda, and
it could be that this talk about quick
end to the war is from that source.
When people think the end is in
sight they ease up on their efforts, in
the happy belief that we can coast
from here on out.
LOOK OUT FOR THAT!
Nobody knows when the war will
end and those who really should have
the best of information don't pretend
even to guess, except that we are in
for a long war.
There are plenty of sacrifices ahead.
When folks think the end is in sight
they don't make sacrifices easily. For
example, they will not save their tires,
they will grumble about sugar-and
many more important things.
We've got to go through each day
as if we KNEW the war would go
five years.
That's the only way to mobilize
1000 war effort.
The chances are that, as one writer
has put it, we shall have to hit the
enemy with the ring posts before he
can be knocked out properly and for
keeps.
OF course, WE have something to
fight for that the enemy hasn't got.
But He may not know that, having
been raised in slavery, knowing not
of freedom.
For him he can lose and not lose
his freedom. Indeed, if he loses, the
peoples GAIN their freedom. But if
WE lose, we lose EVERYTHING. We
are done, as free people. So, we
can't afford to play with any short
war idea.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1942-06-19

If we do not correct our errors in
time, then, even the best belated eff
forts to mend our ways will take on
the air and value of death-bed re-
pentance.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1942-06-19

We must beware of propaganda.
AND we must beware of loose talking
among ourselves.
| could tell you some very interest
ing things about Transatlantic
bomber ferrying, but l won't.
The reason ] could is that ferry
pilot talked and talked and talked to
friend by telephone, on his return.
He had two-party line and the other
party, picking up her phone to ring a
number, heard the talk and listened.
Perhaps the information might not
hurt, even if heard by an enemy. but
who knows? 1t NIGHT.
Let us not guess, let us not raise
false hopes, or false fears. Let us
hold our tongue about things we know.
Very small facts, when put together
with other facts, can reveal a whole
great plan.
It is true that this is a PEOPLES
war.
As this is written we are scoring a
great sea victory over Japan. But
there is plenty left to Japan with
which to fight.
The British are pushing Rommel
around and the Russians are pushing
the Germans back.
But many a time battles have
been lost, while the loser of bat
ties has won war.
WE shall win this war but not by
giving heed to rumors, not by getting
into the way of thinking that victory
already is in sight. That, indeed,
would be good way to lose it.
