That defeatists of these types
should no longer be tolerated is an
idea with which the bulk of Ameri-
cans are-and have benin hearty
accord, as attested very recently by
the Republicans at Chicago. How
ever, it seems timely to point out
two things. One is that there are
relatively few such people. The
once vocal isolationists, for ex-
ample, have practically disappeared.
AS for the peace suggestions and
the British-Russian criticisms, the
shamefulness of these makes their
indulgence an unpopular and risky
pastime
Certainly, 1t would seem more
effective to expose our economic
defeatists who not only are much
more numerous but much more
dangerous. Strangely enough, these
economic defeatists are not even
mentioned by the administration
orators. Yet. the country is full
of them and Washington is not free
Of them.
Can Stand Burdens.
You hear them say that the
national debt we are piling up will
be beyond our capacity to pay, or
even to service; that either repudia-
ton or further dollar depreciation
is inevitable; that Defense bonds
and stamps are a gift to the Gov
ernment rather than a safe invest
ment; that the profit system can
not survive the war: that after VIC
tory some form of collectivism is
certain to take the place OF Ameri-
can capitalism.
These things, Of course, are not
true. No matter what the cost of
this war, the American people can
and will pay it. No matter how high
the debt, they can carry 1t. No
matter how painfully they are taxed,
they will stand it.
But not from the White House
nor the once Of Facts and Figures

Hitler Need Only Look at Napoleon to Find
Striking Parallel in Fighting the Russian Colossus

out badly because I began my
retreat too late"
Hitler: "A winter was Begin
ming to settle over the east such
as had not been seen even in this
part of Europe for over 140 years
Four weeks earlier than foreseen
all operations came to a sudden
stop. Right in the middle of our
advance our front-line soldiers
could not stream back or stay
in the posts occupied. Neither the
German soldier. tank nor loco
motive was prepared for the sud-
den onslaught of the cold
About himself:
Napoleon; Il am not ambitious.
Long nights, fatigue. war-I'm
too old for that. I like my bed
and rest as we'll as any one. I
only want to finish my work"
Hitler: Il, myself, have not
claimed as much as three free
days for myself since 1888. "''I
ask nothing more Of the AL
mighty than that He = should
grant that may live only so
long as is necessary to see the
fulflllment of the destiny of the
German people"
British Prompt Uneasiness.
Napoleon had something on his
mind about which he talked to
his confidant. Hitler has the
same thing on his mind, no
doubt, and he mentioned it con-
temptuously in his speech :. the
landing of the British "at night
with blackened faces and rubber
shoes"
What did Napoleon think about
such possible landings?
"As it is I know where to look
for the English. If they were
not occupied there Tin SPAIN I
would be forced to prepare for
them and hold myself ready for
defense against them at every
point. And that would use up
more troops, give me much more
anxiety, and possibly do much
more damage.
IF 10000 English landed in
Belgium, or in the Pas de Calais,
and requisitioned supplies from
300 villages-if they were to 90
and burn the Chateau Of Cau-
laincourt-they would do me
much more harm than forcing me
TO maintain an army in Spain.
You must take good care not
to repeat the ideas I express to
you; for II the idea entered the
British heads to make expeditions
against my coasts, now at one
point and now at another, to re-
embark as soon as forces were
collected to fight them, and 90 at
once to threaten some other point
the situation would be unsup-
portable!"
Similar Fears
The position of the two men.
was almost exactly the same. The
eastern front demanded atten-
tion; all Europe was occupied and
being primed for q new order, and
the British had the support of
the stupid" populations who, if
gave them their heads, would
welcome the English with open
arms And Napoleon was
threatening them with "the dan
ger Of the Russian colossus"
And something like black
faced, rubber-shoed commandos
landing all over the place was
one form OF warfare which Ma
poleon greatly feared might pop
into British heads as it had
popped into his own.

Benito Mussolini, long in eclipse

Fuehrer's principal henchman, is
endeavoring to take a stronger
hand in Axis affairs.
The Italians have taken a back
seat ever since they entered the
war. Every time Italian forces
tried to do something on their
own initiative they were wiped
out. The Greek campaign was
a tragi-comedy; Marshal Grazi-
anis defeat in Libya was one of
the most spectacular an army
ever suffered.
Hitler has been using Italian
divisions in Russia, but climatic"
conditions have made them even
less useful than in other cam
paigns. However, Italian casual
ties in Russia have been heavy.
