We now learn that a certain
number of Germans ride railroad
trains just for pleasure trips. They
loll about in resorts. They also
spread rumors and complain they
are not allowed to dance.
CThis information comes to u
from Herr Goebbels, who has hao
to write a special article for the
magazine, Das Reich, denouncing
these practices0
We learned, some months ago
from Howard K. Smith, that there
has been an amazing rise in the
circulation of pornographic picture
magazines in Germany. The man

quately explained,
From a special Berlin broadcast
to German soldiers near Stain
grad, we learn that some of the
| German troops are muttering that
they "see no sense in holding on.
There must be at least a number
such, or the German propaganda
office would not have spent so much
time denouncing them, while the
world listened in. Merely to try

listed above, we find it increasingly
difficult to continue to picture Ger

German propaganda wants us to

Smith on how the Berlin subways
smell.
1t would be good moral preparation
for the coming attack to rout what
ever remains of the legend of the
streamlined super-duper German
state from our minds. The Russians
have taught us how one shouts:
"Whoa!" to the Ride of the Valkyrie.
And the Valkyrie halt, and the riders

The Fight For Air Power" by
William Bradford HUE, just pub
lished.
The startling feature of this
volume is that it indicts ad-
ministration officials, including
President Roosevelt, for hinder
ing pre-Pearl Harbor aviation
development, and its assertions
are supported by a wealth of
official information which could
have been supplied only by some
one inside the Government. Who
this insider was is stated cate
gorically by 1t. Col. Harold f.
Hartney, Army Air Forces ire
tired, in a review Of the book.
He says:
"On October %. 1912, when
Col. Hugh J. knerr, United
States Army Tetired), was pre-
emptorially recalled to active
service by Secretary Of War
Stimson. many will recall that
Knerr was about to deliver a
lecture in Milwaukee on a new
book he was bringing out, The
Fight For Air Power" Here we
have a book by the same title
but written by w B. HUE. IN
doIIbtedly this is largely Knerr's
work. although this surmise
must not detract from the work
of HUE. - Between the two of
them they have done a nervel-

mony Of his fellow officer, no one

Col. Knerr, if not it's actual au-

virtually all of the vital incidents

The other air officer constantly
featured is 1t. Gen. Frank Max

er of American air forces in the
Middle East. One of the most
startling assertions of the book is
that Gen. Andrews, who was the
first commander of the General
Headquarters Air Force, created
in 1885, was reduced from major
general to colonel and banished
with his entire staff, including
Col. Knerr, his executive officer,
for daring to support the Wilcox

killed by direct order of President
Roosevelt.
Shortly thereafter, the book
declares, "the general staff moved

This Changing World
Censorship in Both U. S. and Britain Deprives
People Of Truths for Which They Are Fighting

met the Foreign Office might be
handicapped in its action for the
maintenance of the empire and
Britain's welfare could be thus
jeopardized. Hence the self
imposed reserve on the part Of
British foreign affairs writer's.
AS a rule, when the British
press becomes emotional over
certain situation and this is
particularly true in wartime
the reason must be found in some
hints" from highest political
quarters of the government.
Hints" From High Places.
The British press is much
closer to the government than is
the American press. 1t also is
much more cooperative than
ours when it receives a request
which the editors consider COM
patible with the vital interests of
the empire. Hence, it was con-
sidered significant that in spite
of the official statement of the
British Minister of Information,
Brendon Bracken, Prime Minis
ter Churchill'S right-hand man,
the British press continued to
harp on the fact that the burden
of responsibility for the North
African mess" is to be placed
on the shoulders of the American
leaders in that area.
Some British officials volunteer
to explain the peculiar situation
by the fact that most Americans
do not understand the new spirit
in Britain. The British people,
they say. are fighting now a
crusading war and do not under
stand any kind of compromise
which military or political neces-
sites may dictate. They are con-
WINGED that postwar conferences
must be better and cleaner than
in the past. There can be no
adequate reason to continue the
most devastating war known in
history If the results will mean
nothing more than a reshuffie OF
the cards.
And so, these British officials
say, the people Of the United
Kingdom have become "purists"
in their political thinking and
have embraced the cause of Gen.
Charles de Gaulle, who until last
fall was only vaguely known by
the masses. They oppose any
thing which may smack of Ease
ism or any man who has been
compromising with the ideolo-
gies for which Britain is bleeding
today.
The more cynical American
observers who know that the
leader of the Fighting French
recently has been very much In
the favor of the British Prime
Minister suspect that the out
bursts of the British press against
the American leaders in Africa
are not caused by any particular
theology. They may be mistaken.
The fact, however, is that it is
difficult to see clearly what
changes may have occurred in
Britain because the contacts be-
tween the United States and
Britain are obscured by red tape
and censorship.

Job Sole Indictments
