Charles Coburn in leading roles.
 The new comedy is said to be one of the lightest. gayest, timeliest pie lures of the current season and concerns itself with the story of a cute little Washington secretary played by Miss Arthur, who sublets one room in her apartment to Charles Coburn. After a day or so of sharing the apartment, Coburn realizes that his landlady is not in love with her fiancee and he plans to get her a new boy friend.
 With this intention Coburn sub lets half of his room to Joel Me- Crea. When Jean learns of the new arrangement, she is furious at Co., burn but finally agrees to the pro- posed plan. With three of them es- tablished in the apartment the di- rector again proves why he has earned a reputation for being one of Hollywood's top-hight film makers.
 The film races along at merry clip, alternating between moments of tender, poignant romance and hilarious situations that are chock full of uproarious laughs. In an ef- fort to bring McCrea and Miss Ar thur together, Coburn goes to such extremes that he finally is forced to leave the apartment. While he is gone, the F. B. I. steps into the pie ture having heard rumors that a Japanese spy Is inhabiting the apartment.

German officers and Nazi officials talked to
me quite frankly about the coming conflict.
They would win it quickly. they admitted,
or lose it slowly. believe that the German
leadership realizes that it has lost the war.
But it fights on. hoping to stave off collapse
at home, hoping to split the unity of the
United Nations front So morale becomes
factor of transcendent importance. Let's have
a look at German morale.
1t appears that the Reich's morale is begin
ming to slip Along the Norwegian frontier
German soldiers are deserting into Sweden.
They're afraid to face Allied invasion or
service in Russia. Thousands of Hitler's
troops on the Russian front itself have picked
up safe-conduct passes dropped from Soviet
planes and surrendered. That doesn't happen
in an army that expects to win. 1t never hap
pens in an army whose morale is high.
There are clues on the home front. too.
A short time ago a wave of interesting
advertisements began appearing in Ger
man newspapers. They ran like this:

stirred 50 much comment that the Gestapo
finally took steps to stop them.
A short time ago riot took place among
students in Munich. Munich, remember is
the birthplace of Nazism. And the youth of
Germany are Hitler's most fanatical support
ers Yet German students rioted; the Gestapo
shot three of them. two boys and girl.
Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler has been
rushing from one end of fNazi-occupied Europe
to the other putting down incipient revolt
and fighting sabotage. In May his men shot
down factory workers in the Austrian town
of St. Pelten, not far from Vienna.

lHE Nazi chiefs are finding it hard to con-
troll their own party members. They have
threatened to purge 'lukewarm" followers.
Unrelated facts? Not at all. They are scat
tered straws in the Nazi wind. 1t is the wind
which swept Tunisia, laden with the unwhole-
some fragrance of low morale. In Tunisia the
elite Afrika Korps, pledged to the supreme
alternative of victory or death on the Fueh-
rer's battlefield, abruptly laid down arms in
the face of United Nations attack. Ordered
to fight to the last cartridge, the super soldiers
of the blitzlrieg staged blitz surrender.
Naughty, bemonocled generals, slated for
heroes seats in the Nazi Valhalla, rode up

to surrender in Red Cross trucks to save their
precious skin from possible harm. Before sur
rendering the flower of the Fuehrers officer
caste scrambled to promote one another in
order to insure higher scale of prisoners
pay In carnival spirit the crack goose
steppers of the master race drove their own
trucks to the prison camp, laughing and cheer
ing What contrast to the morale of the last
ditch defenders of Stalingrad and the guard
ians of bomb-shattered Britain!
But let's not 60 overheard about the Axis
debacle in Tunisia. Would the Afrika Korps
have given up so easily if they had been fight
ing on their native soil? If we knew the
answer, we could make better estimate of
the date of German collapse.
In appraising German morale, don't forget
that the Nazis are led by desperate men. by
criminals. They are gamblers who have
staked everything, including their lives, on
this war; In my opinion, Goebbels is the real
brains of Germany today. He is clever and
resourceful. He won't give up. You can look
for him to shoot the works to stave of
collapse of German morale.
He has been using fear propaganda" on
the Germans. The Nazis have tortured, pill
laged and murdered millions of people in this
war Goebbels is making use of that. He is
telling the Germans that if they lose the
war they will all be destroyed in retribu-
ton - Nazis and anti-Naxis alike.
A former German editor warned me not to
place too much faith in parallels between
1918 and 1943. And he insisted the Nazis
have deadened the German peoples feelings.
"Air raids do not affect them as they do
normal human beings They are robots. That
is what the Nazis want them to be. Things
don't get them down 50 easily"
Now let's look at American morale. Some
foreign observers have been appalled, by our
confidence in early victory. They deplore the
American propensity for wishful thinking.
I remember walking through Times Square
the night the news came in that our troops
had landed in North Africa. The crowds
coming out of the theaters rejoiced. Its just
about over now" if heard one man say
that, l heard DOZENS In celebration of the
good tidings, some of them no doubt stayed
home from work next day. What was the use
of working 50 hard? The war was about over.
The American people are magnificent when

they face great odds. Our men on Bataan
and Corregidor gave the lie to the Axis claims
that Americans are soft" "decadent." No
youth in the world could be tougher than
our men on Guadalcanal. There are no more
industrious, hard-working people alive than
those on our farms and in our factories.
rs Up 70 %
Dur we may as we'll face it. In this war 50
far we. as people, have taken the easy way.
We have tried to maintain our prewar stand
ard of living; we have lodged sacrifices: we
have complained about rationing and incon-
venience We have had strikes in vital war
industries. All of these things play Coebbels's
game. 1t means we are not putting everything
we have into winning the war It is one of the
spiritual factors that can upset the most ex-
pert military Judgment on the wars end.
The sporting odds quoted that tasor May !,
1914, are based on an ali-out scdr by the Anseri
can people.
Morale has direct connection with pro-
duction If we start thinking the war is in the
bag, production is sure to 60 down. Give us
breakdown on the civilian front and months
will be added to the length of the conflict.
Every authority interviewed emphasized
that The slightest let-down from our present
effort here at home will cost Thousands of
lives. 1t can even cost us the war. And even
after victory, we must not relax our effort
to win the peace as well. Nazidom must not
be allowed to rise again.
But if we promptly get down to the kind
of home-front fight the English and Russians
are putting up, III move my guess up by
months. If Americas millions really put win
ming the war ahead of absolutely everything
else, we can't lose. Our will to win will send
German morale down the chute. 1t will fire
the souls of our fighting men.
We are now celebrating the birthday of our
independence - perhaps the most crucial
in our history. 1t is day for every American
to paste up over his desk or workbench the
reminder: Each month the war is prolonged
means another 100000 lives!" If we selaessly
live up to that reminder, we can bring Ger
many to terms in record time. Today, even
more than in l776, the plus or minus of VIC
tory lies in the American peoples WiHto Win.
In the final analysis it's up to you.
