Hitler Seen Preparing
Peace Drive THROUGH
Spain Or Sweden
Cosoblonco Pledge, Red
Army Victories Held
Chief Factors in Move
D. the Associated Press.

- the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 4.--The belief that
Adolf Hitler may be preparing an
other peace offensive was expressed
today In neutral quarters in London,
where 1t was said action might be
initiated through Spain or Sweden
or both.
These sources, which insisted on
remaining anonymous, said there
have been strange developments in
Berlin since the Casablanca con-
ference. These, they declare, .sug-
gest an impending move for . ne
gotiated settlement In spite of the
unsolicited denials from the Spanish
Embassies In Brazil and Chile that
0eneralissimo Franco had been des-
ienated = eo-between.
The spanish denial evoked con-
siderable speculation concerning Its
motive especially IN the absence Of
widely circulated reports that Spain
had been chosen as . peacemaker
There were reports IN London re-
Gently that Hitler's new Ambassador
to Spain. Or. Hans Rdolf Won Moltke.
carried to Madrid 4 proposal that
Franco act ~ m Intermediary, but
these 1atRsG any 5iibstantI lfion' ana
attracted little attention.
But today. with the Allies pledged
to hammer the Axis into uncondi-
t1onal surrender, with Germany
shocked BY the Stalinefad disaster
and facing something similar IN the
Caucasus, the neutral sources sue-
gcsted that there seemed to be more
cause for Hitler to seek ccmpro-
mise now than on January II, when
Won Moltke went to Madrid.
However, In spite Of the defeats
In Russia and the growing threat Of
Allied action elsewhere in Europe.
1t was emphasized that talk Of Z
German peace offensive could not be
taken to mean that the Germans
were whipped.
One unomcial peace plan said to
have been tried out in Stockholm
was reported to have stipulated that
Hitler and the Maxi party would re-
tire from politics and hand Germany
over to the Army. This appeared
however. to have got no further than
Sweden.
Indications that peace rumors are
sweeping the conquered lands Of Eu-
rope were seen In reports passing
through the Spanish censorship that
the bottom had dropped out Of the
Paris black market because OF q
widespread feeling that the wal
would end soon.
Dispatches from Stockholm said
Finland also was being mentioned
In connection with peace o6ensives
They asserted that the Films had
given broad hints that they would
like to be out Of the war.

~ THE RODAA SECTOR, Tunisia,
feo. Delayed highly trained
mountain troops were thrown into
the battle by the Germans TODAY As
they pressed an attack northeast of
Eooaa where United Ststes infantry
defended positions between British
ana French forces.
The impetus OF the assault an
peared fully broken when British In
1antry and guns knocked out six Of
q squad Of German tanks which at
tempted to storm down the road
from Pont du Fat,s to Robaa Sunday,
but the Germans threw in large
numbers Of infantry which were at
tempting to advance in the noun
tains parallel to the road.
Few reports came out of the heav-
ny-wooded elevations where infan-
try hghting was taking place but
Allied forces were believed to be
holding their ground even though
they were outnumbered at points.
62-Ton Tanks Destroyed.
Two of the tanks knocked out In
the initial assault were definitely
established as new 62-ton giant
Tigers which mount sS-millimeter
guns.
: The remainder Of the NaM tank
squadron hovered near the local bat
tie but no serious attempt was made
during the day to use them to renew
the attack.
: A British sergeant who was oper-
Ating In the area between the cur
rent battle lire and Bou Arada two
nights ago had this adventurous tale
to tell.
Just before dawn he set out In
4 jeep, with two men to lift mines
which had been placed on the road
TO protect an advanced patrols
night position. As they reached the
point where they had put the mines
. few hours before, the men were
challenged in French-which Is not
unusual, since French troops are
known to be in the area.
{. When the sergeant, who was
member Of q Midland regiment, be-
gan to explain his mission, 10 Ger
mans leaped from hiding and sur
rounded the jeep.
: Mine wounds Germans.
After the men were held prisoner
for . short time In q wadi. where
they were forced to lie with their
hands over their heads, the sergeant
was told he must drive . group of

Governor Langlie is serving

best of his capacity and will con
tinue as the chief executive of this
state for the remainder of his
Term, emphatically declared Ro-
ert r. Pence uponhis return from
Olympia.
Further than that, there is no

ded. "He is doing as much for
the war effort and for Civilian De-
Tense in this state as the Presi-
dent is doing in the nation. The
attempt by foes of the governor
to put him on the spot by talk of
his resignation is silly and ridicu-
lous."
Members of the Spokane Coun-
ty Republican club, at luncheon
in the Spokane hotel, applauded
Pence when he explained that an
underground campaign is being
waged to discredit the governor
blythe same partisan group which
fought his election. "They have
been unable to block him in the
legislative, so now they are strik-
ing at him under the cloak of pa
triotism," he said.
Because Langlie holds a COM
mission in the naval reserve the
rumor has been circulated that he
will be called to active duty in
the navy, leaving Lieutenant Gov
ernor Victor Meyers to assume the
office of governor. Following the
revelation by The Spokesman-Re-
view of the covert attempts being
made by a group in Seattle to
make Meyers governor, a flood of
Llegrams and telephone calls has
leluged the governors office in
Olympia demanding that he con-
.inue in office.

FIGHTING The
ENEMY WITHIN
BY victor W. Rotnem

o9 ttStOE W. hOtiitin
Today, more than at any time
in our past, we of the United
States are resolved to live up to
the immortal designation of our
country as "a nation conceived
in liberty and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are Great
ed equal"
Seventy-eight years ago, we
wrote into our Constitution new
provision, that never again in this
land should any person be held in
slavery or involuntary servitude.
On foreign battlefelds our
soldiers are now fighting enemies
who have reduced millions to
slavery - slavery worse than any
other known to modern times.
Those enemies are determined to
force the people of America to
that same level of degradation.
To defeat them and deliver all
humanity from their evil design,
we shall stop at no sacrifice.
But it is not enough to fight
the enemy outside. To keep our
liberties alive, We must work and
fight for them at home. We mist
make of them a living truth in
the daily life of the humblest cit
izen.
1t is the duty of the Depart
ment of Justice to protect the
civil rights of American citizens.
Our efforts have been directed
against all persons who have at
tempted to subject anybody 10 in
voluntary servitude, or TO police
brutality, or in any way to deny
equal protection under the law.
Two persons. recently convicted
of subjecting others to slavery,
have been sentenced to prison
terms. Four cases will soon be
tried. Twenty-eight more cases
of this type are now being inves-
tigated.
A sheriff, his deputy, and city
police officer have just been in
dicted for beating to death a Ne
gro in their custody; and another
case of the same kind is soon to
be presented to a grand jury.
When, to every person in our
country, are accorded those rights
which recognize the human dig
nifty of free citizenship, at that
time, and not until then, shall we
have fulfilled the destiny of ma
ton conceived in liberty and dedi-
Gated to the proposition that all
men are created equal.

WHO YOUR
FRIEND?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Who is your friend? The one
who talks to you of what he is
going to do for you some day? Or
is it the one who shows you how
to get ahead on your own steam?
Hitler held out friendship to
the youth of Germany, promising
them that they would not have
to pay for the mistakes of their
fathers, that he would bring
them prosperity and let them
rule as a master race over others.
L wonder If they gave thought
to that in the springtime mud of
Russia or ON the burning sands
of North African deserts.
Japan holds out the hand of
friendship to the oppressed
peoples of the earth. Ask the
Koreans what kind of friendship
Japan gives. They have known
the answer for nearly half a
century. Ask the Chinese in the
coastal towns, what the pledge
means. Ask those who are still
alive to speak. Ask the natives
of Borneo, of Burma, of the
South Sea Isles. They have test
od that ia,5cI;r
The Axis followers claim taht
the Anglo Saxon nations are
"unfriends" of the darker races
Yet they overlook the fact that
Great Britain was the first ma
ton to abolish slavery and to
make slave trading a criminal
offense. Ask the Negroes who live
ia what was German East Africa
under whose rule they would pre-
fer to live. Ask our own Negro
soldiers - officers and men alike
what treatment they have re-
ceived in England. AS for our
own United States where else
do Negroes as well as whites en-
JOY a greater opportunity for in
dividual progress based on their
own merits? There have been
mistakes = plenty of them and
bad ones = but they can be and
are being corrected under a dem
ocratic form of government, and
as rapidly as the people learn the
facts.
Who is your friend? The one
who doles out charity, or the one
who acts with justice, expecting
of you as much as he himself will
give, demanding that you be az
aware of your responsibility as
he is of his own.
A friend is one "who enter
tains a respect for another, who
has a strong regard for his well
fare" who expects you to
stand on your feet like a man
