article, which ! would like to
head with cry. Listen, please"
But this time I hope my readers
will really heed these words.
Because We have to be smart. We
must know exactly what is in
our enemy's hand IN order 10
play our own cards well.
And at first glance this move
is not transparent. II is ex-
tremely subtle. But it is pos
sible to understand It, and the
creation OF an understanding OF
1t Is the purpose Of this column.
Let us ask a few questions.
Why was Laval appointed just
now7 Obviously. the Nazis could
have forced him on Petsin at
any time. The mere fact that
Marshal Petain accepts him at
all proves this. For Marshal
Petain despises Laval. He de-
spises him as one who has
made a fortune out OF dubious
politics; as a traitor, who is an
acknowledged Nazi agent--ac-
knowledged, I mean, by Petain
himself.
Hitler Fears Invasion.
The reason why Laval enters
the picture now is, first of all,
strategical. Hitler thinks an In
vasion of Western Europe Is pos
sible. Hitler knows that he can
not concentrate all he has against
Russia until the French situation
is clarified.
What else is Hitler afraid of?
He is afraid the French people
may rise to welcome the invading
troops Of the Allies.
How can he Offset this?
BY offering concessions to the
French people and by bringing
about confusion of counsel In the
United States.
Up to now. France has been d.
vided into two zones: the larger
occupied. and without . govern
ment.
ofncially, II Is under vichy. Ac-
tually 1t Ia under the military
rule of Gen. Won Stuelpnagei.
This military rule is most OBJ
noxious to the French, and the
violent measures to suppress their
discontent-such as the shooting
of hostages--have failed.
German military authorities
know they have no power to call
the French people to resist their
invaders" II the invaders" are
the Allies. bent on freeing France.
Therefore, Hitler has to have a
Frenchman to organize resist
ance, under q nationalist slogan
of defending French soil"
In the unoccupied zone, he has
had Petain and Darlan, who are
Fascist in q Francoish way. But
they are neither strong enough
nor unserupulous enough to put
French nationalism on the Ger
man side. Petain's game was to
try TO keep France as neutral as
the armistice terms allowed, at
least until it became clear who
was going TO win the war. Now,
as the weight in the scale is turn
ing towards our side, this atti-
tude is unbearable to the Ger
mans.
Laval Is No Martyr.
But Laval Is committed out
right to either . Mani victory or 8
Nazi peace. In any other case, he
is shot, and Laval does not yearn
for msrtyrdom. Laval is not even
a Fascist, Laval has one political
philosophy; He Is q Lavalist. He
Is ambitious and, unfortunately,
Is extremely clever.
Laval is the man on whom
nobody ever got anything" He
entered politics in 1914 as
penniless lawyer and 10 years
later had fortune of 25,00o, 900
francs, with no visible means OF
earning 1t. His name was men,
toned in every major scandal,

In connection with fire prevention

to the role to be played by auxiliary

Pointing out that the auxiliary

Vast Farm Migration
To Get Manpower

Families From Marginal

Es the Associated Press.

GS the Associated Press.
PEORIA, ILL.,, Oct. 5.-To relieve
the shortage of farm workers, Sec
retary of Agriculture Wickard to-
day advocated a great migration Of
farm families from marginal soil to
land which can be worked more
productivity.
Estimating there were about 2,O00,-
900 farm families who might take
part in such a movement, he said
the migration was "a pressing war
time necessity" and held more prom
ise than any other measure now un-
der consideration by the Depart
ment OF Agriculture. go
In an address written for his ap-
pearance before the National Cath
olice Rural Life Conference here,
Secretary Wickard said: "It seems
to me that this situation offers an
opportunity to abolish the rural
slums Of America" He added:
Our best reserves of manpower-
both OF managers and workers-are
the people already on the land who
are not making full use of their time
and ability. There are families. with
many good farmers among them,
who are working land so poor they
can barely raise enough for their
own use. There are families on
tracts so small-and often unpro-
ductlve as well-that they cannot
md enough work to keep them
busy"
AS a war emergency measure"
ne said. I'VE must help those fam
lilies get off crowded marginal land
and on land where their work will
go for many times as much. We
must get them on good land as ten
ants, or when possible, through ten
ant-purchase, as owners.
To-day there is danger that some
large, rich Middle Western farms
may lie idle next year through lack
OF some one to work them. while
1arm families in the Appalachians
are living in poverty because they
nave not enough land to work"

Fire Care|essness
Called Sabotage

MiIlion-o-Doy Loss

Carelessness concerning fire risk
must be classed as an act of sabo-
tage in time of war, declared James
M. Lands, director of the ONCE of
Civilian Defense, as National Fire
Prevention Week opened yesterday.
Sponsored this year by OCD, Fire
Prevention Week is serving dual
representation of fire hazards
and collection OF additional salvage
able materials from every type of
building.
Citing numerous cases where care
lessness led to huge fire losses
damaging to the war effort, Direc-
tor Lands said the fire loss drain
on national economy has reached
nearly $1,0oo,ooo a day. During the
first six months of this year, he
said, speaking over Station WRC,
the national fire loss was 100000

Of scrap-more than 100 pounds per
capita.
Much Of this was rubber, inasmuch
as both rubber and metal scrap were
collected in the drive. Two million
pounds OF the total came from the
Burlington Railroad. More came
from the Union Pacific. Still more
came in the form of worn-out farm
Ing machinery. The fact that no
sources comparable to these are
open to District scrap collectors does
not make the Nebraska total any
less impressive by comparison.
Abandoned Autos to Be Collected.
The campaign was carried on in
Nebraska on many fronts. Cham
bers of Commerce, service and civic
clubs, banks and business firms
offered prizes for scrap collection.
Stores and other business establish
ments held rallies and enlisted en-
ployes in the drive. The Civil Air
Patrol was called in to spot likely
scrap metal accumulations and re-
port to ground crews Which investi-
gated by automobile. The result was
the 1000 tons in three weeks.
The drive for larger amounts of
scrap than those collected from
householders gets under way in the
District today, with a meeting of
Mr.. Walker. Corporation Counsel
Richmond B. Keech and Traffic
Director William A. Van Duzer, who
will plan methods for taking over
automobiles abandoned on Wash
1ngton streets. When the legal
wrinkles of this matter are ironed
out, collection of such automobiles
will begin.
After this, business firms. which
until now have not been called on
for metal scrap, will be told when
and how the collection from them
will be made.
Today also marks the entry of
junior high school boys and girls
into the salvage drive. Approx
mately 10000 of them will under
take house-to-house canvas under
the leadership of block lieutenants,
who will work in close cooperation
with salvage chairmen in each area
to unearth heretofore unnoticed
metal scrap in Washington homes.
Aid Provided for Dismantlinx.
1t Is important that Washing
tonlans remember that salvageable
metal does not have to be in easily
available form to be desirable scrap.
The mills need metal now and the
Government has set up agencies to
speed the flow.
Metal in fences that must be
torn down, in machinery that must
be dismantled, or in buildings that
must be razed is as urgently needed
as any other metal. Household
scrap. even If every bit of it is COL
lected. will not be enough to meet
the demand Of the steel mills.
Such items as obsolete heating
plants, compressors, pumps, hoists
and other heavy iron and steel
equipment will be removed by the
Government. through War Mate
r1als, Inc, at no cost to the owner
donating 1t to the salvage campaign.
War Materials funds also will be
used to repair any damage to prop
erty caused by removal of equip
ment given as scrap
Arrangements for donating such
scrap can be made either with the
District OF Columbia Salvage Com
mlttee or with the Metals Reserve
Co., a subsidiary of the RFC.

Horace Walker, executive chairman
Of the District of Columbia Salvage
Committee, on the exact collections
during the Sunday drive on Septem-
Der 20 in the eastern sections OF
the District.
1t Is expected, on the basis of in
dications from reliable sources, that
the figure will be lower than even
the more pessimistic estimates made
at the time of the collection, which
were based on the number of truck
loads OF scrap collected, with no
weights being taken at the time.
Nebraska Drive Cited.
No figures will be available i'm
mediately on the amount of salvage
able metal collected in the western
half of the District. inssmuch as all
OF 1t has not yet gone to junk deal
ers for processing, but it is assumed
that these previous estimates also
will prove to be high.
No one has complained of the
attitude of householders of the Dis
trict. whose reaction to the two con-
centrated Sunday drives of Septem-
ber 20 and q was enthusiastically
patriotic. Still. there is every indi-
cation that there remain untouched
large stores of metal needed by
hungry steel mills to make the ma
terials for planes, tanks, ships and
guns.
One of the Nations first con-
eentrated scrap drives was conducted
In Nebraska, which has total pop
ulation not great deal larger than
that OF the District Metropolitan
Area. The result was the collec-
tlon, In three weeks, of $4,000 tons
