SPONTANEOUS CRITICISM
Is ENEMY DYNAMITE

Thanks partly To the censorship
but chiefly TO British familiarity
gained in many years-with the
etiquette of alliances the British
press seldom hits back at Amer
lea thus leaving a gap in the vi
cious circle which Nazi propaganda
tries TO create, but occasionally
some wrathful Briton will evade
or defy the conventions. as Mitchell
F. Hepburn, premier of the prov
ince of Ontario, did recently with
his attack on the American navy
which was appreciated by Amer
leans about as much as American
criticisms of British bungling in
Malaga were appreciated by the
British.
OF course not all American
criticisms OF England. Russia.
China or other allies are inspired
by enemy propaganda. Most OF
them in fact are spontaneous.
That Is one reason why the
Axis feels so confident Of being
able to destroy us by political
warfare. for 1t is obvious that If
We can be isolated from our
strongest allies we will De well

SEEK TO AROUSE
BRITISH SUSPICION

Agents here or in Latin Amer
ica cable the hottest extracts from
our papers to Berlin and Toxic
and within a few hours they are
being quoted in the Axis radio
programs to England and the
Empire. where they serve to sub
stantiate the Axis line to England
which is-believe 1t or not-that
America is planning to fight this
war to the last Englishman and
will make peace with Hitler as
soon as We have occupied all the
British colonies we want.
This type of anti-British propa-
ganda from seemingly respectable
American sources is particularly
dangerous when IT ineludes-as
1t has included recently-strong
American criticisms of British
policy in India and in Palestine.
When the "Col. Blimps" in Eng
land hear that Americans are
summoning England TO hand In
dia back to the Indians or to
make concessions to the Jews OF
Palestine at the expense of the
Arabs they begin to think that
maybe there is something to the
Nazi charges about American de-
signs on the empire and would
probably be saying so in print
II the British censorship did not
prevent them.

AMERICA Is REAL
BATTLEFIELD

IL looks, therefore, as II the
really decisive battle of this war
were going to be fought not in
the islands of the Pacific nor on
the plains of Russia, but in the
cities. towns and villages of the
United States with every Ameri-
can citizen in the front lines. Con-
sequently every citizen should UNI
derstand just what kind of an at
tack he is going to face.
1t is difficult to figure out-and
unwise to discuss publicly-Just
what unpleasant surprises the
Axis may have in store for us in
the way of sabotage. espionage,
armed attacks by fifth-column
bands, etc.
The underlying propaganda
strategy of the enemy is crystal
clear, however, and If his propa-
ganda attack fails so will all his
other attacks.
In the first place he is going to
try to repeat the strategy which
worked so well in the first phase
of the war-to split up the united
front against him and get us
quarreling with our allies. rs he
succeeded in doing with the
French and British.
He wifi try to whip up feeling
in this country against England
and Russia and then in his propa-
eanda to Britain and Russia

Russian outbursts from America

IDEAILSTS BECOME PAWNS
OF AXIS AGENTS

This may sound somewhat COM
plicated and implausible, but the
mechanism is really very simple.
The enemy short-wave radio gives
agents in this country their cue
by devoting most of its programs
to attacks on England and at the
same time feeds them with anti
British arguments and facts
which can serve as the basis for
whispering campaigns.
The enemy agents-there are
tens of thousands of them still at
large go around to their
American contacts" - hitter-end
isolationists and Roosevelt-haters
and needle" them. The con-
facts do not always realize they
are being needed and do not iden-
tify the needlers as enemy agents
or at least do not realize what
they are really up to-out they
are always ready to believe any
thing unfayorahle to the British,

1t is always sportsmen's and con-
servation organizations which bear
the heavy end of all such quests
and they seldom receive the sup
port of their communities because
the pollution usually is industrial
and supplies the pay roll, some

Shenandoah Anglers Paradise.
Until last season with its excep-

never realized the extensive popu-

days at time. This season It was
an anglers paradise.
Now, Gene Surber, Fish and Wild
life Service technician at Leetown,
with T. E. Clark Of the National
Forest Service and the aid of county
and State organizations, is study
ing growth and the migrations of
bass in the Shenandoah.
1t is expected more than 500
legal-sized, tagged black bass will
be released in the waters Of Clarke
and Warren Counties to further
this experiment. I..
If some one could prevent the
heavy load Of silt washing into the
river with every rain, technicians
could study migrations without
trouble, and 1t Is possible they would
find the Shenandoah Is q natural
