NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Theodor
Broch knows just how the people in
occupied Norway are obstructing
Nazi plans. AS Mayor of Narvik, he
directed obstructionist tactics him
self when the Geramns first came
in.
AS part of the Norwegian in
formation service he carries on OBJ
structionist tactics still-in the
secret, skillful ways the governments
In exile have learned.
When our unwelcome guests ask
us for bread, our policy is to give
them a stone" says Mr.. Broch.
Mr.. Broch is in New York on his
way to England, where the Norwe-
gian government in exile has its
headquarters. His slender, gray
eyed wife Is with him, anxious to
see that he fully RECEIVERS from the
grippe which has put tired circles
under his eyes.
Escaped Through Japan.
HE lives on his nerves" she
said, smiling at her husband across
a hotel room. See how he cannot
stop tearing up little pieces of paper"
After the good-bys Mr.. Broch will
return to Minneapolis. The Brochs
settled there, with their 5-year-old
daughter Siri, after hazardous
flight through Sweden, Russia, ST.
IBERIA, Japan-"We got through ia
pan just in time"
Now Siri speaks the best English
IN the family, Mr.. Broch says, while
her parents still work to erase a
slight accent from their speech.
When the Germans came to Nor
V1k, early on the morning of April
1910, Mayor Broch rushed down
town to find the swastika flying over
clty nall, and a German general
demanding collaboration.
1 collaborated," said Mayor Broch
py lnstructing the bank to hide it's
money, by telling the shopkeepers
to sell to the Germans, yes, and to
accept German money-but to see

When the German general de-
manded that the Mayor send house
slippers to him, Mayor Broch found
a giant-sized pair that had been
used for display.

Mayor Broch collaborated by kid

had been placed in charge of COM

In the weeks Of battle that en-
sued, Mayor Broch did what he
could to assist the British with mill
sary information, while he struggled
with problems Of food, evacuation
and burial of the dead, both Ger
man and Norwegian.

Eventually, after Norways capitu-

He got to Sweden on foot. to

OUR GARDENS

Things attained go, lives lost, insti-
buttons changed, but through the
centuries the garden lives on. 1t
is our heritage to pass on to our
children and they to theirs. Gar
dening has been done under diff
culties, be they hardShips imposed
by weather or man. The early set
tiers tended garden and also to the
attacks of Indians at the same time.
Today in war ridden lands they have
their plows in hand and bombers
overhead. Garden plants have been
added to in these many years, from
travellers, as the fuchsia in England
brought from a far off battlefield
by soldier to his English mother
the Persian lilac brought by cru
sader from the land called Turkey
the first weeping willow in our
America the gift to Martha Wash
ington's son from an English sold.
Ter. The Pilgrims, after IS years in
their New England home, published
a list of so vegetables, herbs and
flowers. So we will continue to keep
alive our gardens along with oul
preparedness.

WHO SAYS OLD!

1t went something like this, "in
1892 Columbus sailed the ocean
blue" and so he did. 1t was on Oct.
II that he first sighted land which
he thought was India and proved
to be San Salvador in the Bahamas,
Columbus was an adventurer with
courage, persistence and the neces-
sary quality of faith in his convic-
lions. At 81 years Of age he under
took an adventure that was Sur
prising in one of his years. We can
learn from the strength Of this man,
his plugging to obtain a crew to
sail, his efforts to obtain financial
backing for the journey, his over
coming the suspicious Of the Skeptics
of his day. Yet he sailed, an ad-
venturous man past middle age, to
, add an important chapter in the
making of history.

What happens after this war is
over will not depend so much upon
present plans and predictions as it
will upon the type of leadership the
victorious nations have at the time.
If this leadership is ,farsighted
enough, and broad minded enough
and strong enough to point out to
the people the right course, golden
day is in store for the world. If
the leadership is not the right type,
and is not strong enough, and the
people lapse back into selfishness
and wrangling, we will have fought
this war in vain. We have got not
only to win this war, We have got
to win the peace-and keep it won.
1t is going to take bigger men TO
live in the world of tomorrow If
the world of tomorrow is going o
be worth living in, than it has taken
in the past. Whatever the plans
may be, however ambitious or far
seeing and altruistic the kind of
world we are going to have for the
next 100 years, is going to depend
upon individuals and what they are
willing to do. and to give up fd
a better world. A better world isn't
just going to happen. 1t is going
to have to be made, and made by
men and women.

A new situation faces those who
have the responsibility of raising an
army and providing for its susten-
ance. The point has been reached in
which farm production is being cut
short because of the fact that many
young farmers are being drafted in
to the Service. 1t is predicted by
agricultural statisticians that $500
farms in this country will he idle in
1913. Of tie two fronts it is diff
cult to say which is the more i'm
portant. Fighting men must be fed
even though those at home have to
do with less. It appears that We may
come to the point where those at
home quit more Of the nonessential
activities and give their time to the
production of food. This may be the
next recruiting effort.

We belive the Presidents sugges-
ton to put a ceiling under farm
prices below which they will not fall,
both now and after the war, wise
plan. It will do more to stabilize
the business of the nation than any
thing yet proposed. The farming
industry during and after. the last
war was the victim of wild initiation
and too sudden readjustments. 1t
started a wavee of foreclosures and
bankruptcies the echoes Of which
are still heard. We should know by
this time that there can be no stable
prosperity in country whose farm
ing industry. is not in a sound and
prosperous condition. The farms
of the country are the chief pur-
chasers of durable goods. The pro-
duction of durable goods such as
implements, tractors, trucks and 9TH
er farm equipment is the foundation
of industrial prosperity. The pur-
chases of the man in town living in
an apartment or a small home are
not sufficient and of the type to feed
the industries of the nation. For
these to live and grow and prosper
the farming industry must prosper.

FcoNoMIc HIGHLIGIITs

The second front has long been
the biggest military question-and
it is getting bigger fast. The plain
truth is that a serious cleavage is
developing between Soviet Russia
and the balance of the United Ma
tions. The Russians definitely feel
that they have borne the brunt OF
the fighting long enough, and that
it is now time for England and the
United Nations to do something con-
crete and effective.
Wendell WILKES recent visit to
Russia was obviously made for the
purpose of finding out just what
Soviet military and governmental
leaders are thinking. Mr.. Willkie
had long audiences with Stain and
Molotov, and with a number of
high-ranking Russian army men.
He made visit to the front, and
talked with rank-and file Russians.
So it is highly significant that he
at once issued a statement in which
he advocated the establishment of a
second front "at the earliest possible
moment that our military leaders
will approve" He then added that
some of these military leaders may
need public prodding." J..
The attitude of the Russians is
certainly understandable. The Rus
sian people, military and civilian
alike, have made sacrifices that de-
serve the adjective incredible" Ac-
cording to Moscow accounts, the
Russian Army has suffered 100000
casualties in killed, wounded and
missing. Sixty million Russians are
in areas which at present are oc-
cupied and controlled by the Nazis.
Aid from the United States and Eng
land has fallen short OF the total
which was anticipated, and Russia
has terrible lack of food, clothing,
fuel and other necessities. The Ger
mans, pursuing their policy of ex-
termination, have deliberately killed
tens of thousands of Russian men,
women and children. In some sec.
tions, Russian authorities have
found it necessary to condemn part
of their own population to slow
starvation, in order to provide suf-
ficient food for fighting men and
necessary factory workers. The cour-

MEAT RATIONING

The question has been raised many
times around Kennewick. They ask
why we need meat rationing. There
are many reasons to consider We are
told but the main one is that soldiers
are eating almost twice as much
meat as they ate when they were
civilians. This is an important
reason, isn't it? Despite the rumors
that meat rationing is because we
must send more meat to our allies
the fact is that we here are eating
IL pounds more meat apiece this
year than during the war year OF
1880. Our rationing calls for 21s
pounds per person week which
comprises favorably with that Of
foreign countries! Folks around
Kennewick are looking at this thing
as another step in the pull for VIC
tory, that policy of sharing and Of
not offering the opportunity for the
rich to starve out the poor. Wher
they ration our meat supply, i
actually means that from the pres
ent consumption of meat per week
a person, We will each be cut about
three ounces a week, and if thai
amount will affect our systems We
had better see a doctor, for We
must be in pretty bad shape to star
with. Three ounces a week Il
strengthen those Russians who are
fighting most courageously, three
ounces. a week we give to help the
British carry on. There aren't many
who will grumble in giving up three
ounces of meat to feed the cold ant

age of the Red Army is beacon
light in the long and bloody history
of war. Never have there been finer
and more desperate stands than
those made by the Russians at Sew
astopol, Rostov, Stalingrad and else
where.
At the present time, according to
the best estimates, Germany has
about 100 divisions on the Russian
'front.' In the opinion of Russian ex-
perts, Germany would have to divert
80 or 40 of these divisions to the
West if the United Nations would
open a second front in Europe, US
ing the British Isles as the base of
operations. And if that happened,
the Russian experts conclude, the
Red Army could stop the Nazis and
eventually defeat them. But If the
Germans are left free to throw all
their power against the Russians,
the Red Army may be eliminated
as an offensive force. In that event,
Germany, possessed of almost limit
less resources, could launch an ir-
resistible offensive against England
and the United States.
American and British army heads
openly advocate the second front.
1t is no secret that very large per-
centage of the American soldiers now
in service are being trained for
fighting of the commando order. No
responsible man now advocates a
purely defensive war-all are con-
vinced that only the continued Of
fensive can bring eventual victory.
At the same time, the difficulties
that lie n3the way of the second
front are very important. The cost
in troops would unquestionably be
terribly great-raids such as that
made against Dieppe have proven
that German defenses in Europe are
first class. The problem OF supply
from the United States to England
is extremely difficult-to maintain
the vast numbers of troops who
would be engaged in the second front
offensive, would require veritable
bridge of ships across the Atlantics.
And, on top of that, it takes time to
give troops the kind of rigorous
training that is vital to successful
invasion of German-held Europe.
These are but few of the tre-'

mendous issues that bedevi1 the
High Command. 1t is to the credit
of the generals who make military
policy that they do not want to open
a second front until they feel that
the engagement can be. won at a
minimum cost in men. AT the same
time, it is obvious that the collapse
of Russia would be the worst pos
sible calamity that could happen to
the United Nations. Russia alone
has really held the Germans in big
actions, and made Hitler pay an
awful price in blood and materiel
for the victories he has gained. Rus
