ment of whomever happens to be i'm
duIgng in that good old custom OF
sounding off.
And it's very fine thing in time
Of peace. But the time has arrived -
and it's right now - when we all must
lean forward, cost q fshy eye at our
whispering informant or windy tolker,
and ask ourselves question. Is he, or

As all school children know by
now, HitIer's cardinal rule is "Dvide
and Conquer" And as all Czechs,
French, Dutch and Norweeions know
it is one of the shortest and most dev-
ilish poIitioo-mi|itory weapons of all
time. Why? Because it works.
- Edmond Taylor, noted student of
propaganda. declares now is the time
to feor and fight the slime of Nozi
propaganda which seeped over the
great, impre9noble Moeinot Line and
drowned France. 1t worked in France
and other countries and it can work
here. The Nozis know they must knock
out the United Stotes and the quickest
way to do thot is to set US snorIine and
swapping at each other.
Oh, you won't get any letters from
Doctor GoebbeIs telling you President
Roosevelt is orozy, or that we are OBJ
viousy headed for dictatorship, or
thot the Jews and Communists plan to
chop the hands off every third baby
boy. You will get something much
slicker and much harder to combat.
There are and will be some Of those
rower types for the Iunotic fringe, but
chiefly they will be in such forms as
these:
We are dupes Of British imperial
lists. Our entire Pacific fleet was de-
stroyed at Pearl Horbor. The Army had
to shoot 400 strikers in q Detroit tank
factory. Jop soboteurs have destroyed
large sections Of San Francisco. Six
troop transports with 10000 American
soldiers on each have been sunk. The
Republicans ore blocking the war ef-
fort. The Democrats are blocking the
war effort. Jesse James, Peter the Rob-
bit, the no-eirdles-for-erls rule ore
messing things up. In short, things
have gone to hell We cont win. There's
no use trying. We're lost up to now and
besides Hitler has no designs on Amer
ico. He just wants oil the Germans of
Europe joined in one big hoppy fom-
lily.
Those ore the things you have
heard and will hear. Those ore the
things axis agents spreod - and the
alleys and rot holes ore infested with
them. Good Americans hear them.
They tell other good Americans. Soon
the vicious lie assumes the proportions
OF q notionoI scandal and everybody is
talking about it, Thot wrecks morale,
wrecks the war effort and can wreck
America. It's oil the simple oppIico-
ton of divide and Conquer"
This doesn't mean free speech, free I

She was staying on, not just be-

she realized, after her talk with

lost all contact with Wayne. There
was not much hope, but Steena had
told Tommy that something might
turn up to change things: she had
told him she meant to wait, al
