Trial for Treason

IF MAX STEPHAN is tried here for treason as recon-
i mended by Francis Bdde, attorney general of the
United States you may be the trial will be watched
closely by Axis leaders though it were military
development of major Importance.
Stephan is the jefferson restaurant keeper
4 who harbored German lieutenant Hans Peter Krug
after his escape from Canadian internment camp and
then helped him flee from Detroit to Texas.
Stephan immigrated here from Germany Is years
ago. He became American citizen in 1885 and in view
of his present plight that bunder because if he had
obtained citizenship he would not be threatened today
with traitors ngorious end.
His fate will be followed closely all the
world for two special reasons.
FIRST it will indicate to Axis peoples just how earnestly
j and grmly the American people consider this
Nazi and Japanese bosses and their followers have
idea Americans softies and dettantes in the
business They convince their dupes that the United
States is corrupted by sentimental humanaransm and
that accordingly the spy and treason racket in
Second it is well known by our department of justice
that infested with quite number of phoney
naturazed citizens of German birth who while swearing
allegiance to our flag and our form of government,
cctua'ly work against and for our enemies.
If, therefore in the event of conviction Stephan is
given short shrt it will be blow to the morale
of the entire fraternity of traitors and spies If on the
other hand, he is codded it will tend to confirm the
promises made by Axis bosses to the pack of traitors and
spies resident here
Stephan himself except as his life is concerned
remains insignificant pawn in the epic drama of trial
for treason
THE specific act of subversion with which he charged
is negligible in consequence. The enemy officer he is
accused Of harborng has been packed safely away to
camp again.
But the broad matter Of treason carries with it
significance worldwide and historic the significance
of patriotism which is its opposite quality.
There is something bleak about treason that chills
the hearts of
There is something black about the very word that
makes men shrink.
Monsters and murderers outrage society but death
usually brings oblivion to their records The traitor lives

For Wounds
Discovered
BY G.. b. LAL

International News Service science Editor
NEW YORK, May 25.--New
~ discoveries about the proc
ess of healing all kinds of
wounds. which may find impor-
tant applications in military and
civil surgery, came to light
today.
Prof. Leslie B. Arey chief of
the department of anatomy at
the Northwestern University
medical school, has presented
report of the results of these
investigations to the biochemi-
cal research foundation OF the
Franklin Institute of Phila-
delphia.
According to Professor Arey,
among the factors which speed
up the healing of wounds are
these: application of mild pres

The Wrong Approach

THIS newspaper is sympathetic to the protest of Wood
ward avenue cergymen against saloon licenses being
issued for locations too near their churches
We believe however, the elergymen on the wrong
track when they criticize the state liquor control commits
sion for granting the licenses.
The liquor commission is restricted in what it may
may not do It's permssve rules not too elastic
To date the present commissioners to want to
cooperate far possible with the wishes of residents
Of any given community.
Cergymen, in opinion, should petition the state
legislature the Detroit City Council for stringent
laws and specific laws to keep undesirable estab
ishments away from church vicnities
Their protest is justified but they to be shoot
ing in the wrong direction.

WHEN we look back a short
w way We see that nothing
gave us a greater lift. nothing
did more TO put the iron into
our souls, nothing, in word, so
"speeded us up" as the II weeks
of General Macarthur at Ba-
taan.
Such an heroic defense is
worth in stabilizing morale all
the words that come over the
radio. Like shot, 100000
Americans rose out of COM
placent mood to heroic heights.
We found our real selves, vicari-
ously, in the figure OF Douglas
Macarthur and those $4,000
Americans and Filipinos who
withstood for three months odds
of 10 to one-without help.
In one sense then-and in the
best senSe-Bataan and Corregi-
dor never surrendered. The
bodies of the men gave out be-
cause of hunger. thirst and dis
ease. But the spirit never showed
the white flag, for the spirit OF
Bataan passed into all of US.
IT DISCLOSED what an Amer
L lean is made of--bronze and
steel.
The word Bataan now means
faith, indomitable courage, the
undefeated soul.
Bataan is not 40 or AZ hour
week.
Bataan Is not political party.
Bataan is not a fan-dancer
or a nudist-economist.
Bataan is not a brass hat or
swivel-chair.
Bataan is Valley Forge.
Bataan is George Washington.
Bataan is Jackson at New
Orleans.
Bataan Is John Paul Jones.
Bataan is Gettysburg.
Bataan is Farragut.

TIIE most contradictory cuss

But further on, after deliver

piece of sound and sane de-
fensive militarism. he deplores
what he calls Nehru's "apos-
tasy" from nonviolence.
That's certainly a contradic-
ton. In one breath he implies
that he would be in favor of
raising a 'limitless" number of
fighters and in the next breath
he condemns Nehru's backslid-

If GASOLINE rationing plans
i similar to the ones in effect
in the east were to be applied
here in Detroit, il could well
mean the difference between
defeat or victory.
Public transportation facili-
ties are already taxed to ca
pacity and no New Deal planning
can ever cram a thousand pas
sengers into a single street car.
Hundreds of businesses would
close and factories would have
to curtail production. Thous-
andS of gas stations would close.
Michigans enormous tourist in
dustry would be ruined.
Many hundreds of millions of
dollars would be lost should gas
be rationed as in the east. And.
this just at a time when the
sale of war bonds is so neceS-
sary.

CHINA-Their spot is really
~ tightening to a pin point.
The japanese drive should not
crush their armies, but lot
more valuable territory may be
lost. The situation can best be
told this way:
The Jap idea OF where those
Doolittle bomberS came from
mot my idea. or yours is cir
cumscribed by an arc from To-
kio running through Chang-Sha
in Central China Inside that
arc are hidden air fields. in the
opinion of Toxic, which remain
a threat TO the japanese home
land.
1t Is that area upon which
their immediate attack is con-
centrated The YangtZe-Yunnan
pincer drive is apt TO be at least
partly successful, as China is
practically cut off from our
flow of heavy munitions.
SEA FRONT - While we
pushed our troops safely across
TO northern Ireland and can
push more any time, some au-
thorities mourn the fact that
job required drawing destroyers
in from other points and ships
were sunk as a result.
Criticism has been heard that
we sent any troops to northern
Ireland. a British Isles area
where the largest inactive mill
tary force of the United Nations,
already is present. II seems to
me the explanation is that the
British have always feared
NaZi invasion of Ireland and
thought American troops would
be more welcome as defenders
than British. Probably no more
will be needed.
HOME FRONT - We have
bombed Japan and Japan will
bomb our mainlind as soon as
they can figure out a way of
doing it. Our new-found optl-
mism should be accompanied by
increased alertness.
NEWS from the production
~ battle front continues to
generate confidence. More sto-
ries are told of strategical dis
coveries and victories there, for
instance:
Morale OF workers has inn
proved tremendously since the
first of the year. No big devas-
tating strikes have been reported
in that period -.
General Motors has discovered
a new technique for mass pro-
duction of machine guns which
is drawing wide inside praise
Consolidated Aircraft is build
ing those four motored bombers
on production line, a mass
method never before achieved -.
Allison. which had so much
trouble with that liquid-cooled
airplane engine. has succeeded
in ironing out bugs and is pro-
ducing
- Skilled workers are beginning
10 come fast now from those
vocational training and factory
training schools E.
THE famed Chrysler tank
Il arsenal was started in Oc-
tober. 1910. and due to be COM
pleted in Is months. AT that
rate il would just now be fin
ished. but it has been producing
tanks for some time -.
Biggest other new plants have
just recently come into mass de-
liveries: Consolidated Bomber.
Ford's Willow Run, Magne-
Frigidaire began 10 plan maxi
ing machine guns a year and a
half ago, has now also reached
mass production deliveries
The machine tool industry is
entitled to fly the highest flag.
It's work is the basis of all pro-
duction and il was our first bot
tleneck. But the figures show ii
doubled production in one year,
now Is doubling again.
No nation. no system or gov
eminent or economics anywhere
I'm the world, can match these
icats.
