Tillie Michalski, %, Cleveland, of a
f1rst-degree murder charge last

gree murder conviction.
The woman's attorney, Otto J

the Staying, and asked for an ac-
quittal verdict. He said she should
be criticized for abandoning the
child in an automobile camp, April
l, where the body was found, but
such action did not make her ar
accessory to the crime, which he
said, was committed by Lotka.
Lotka, called as a State witness

weapon is followed by a new defense
But the United Nations have the
lead there, too.
France folded in hurry when the
dive bombers went to work.
Folks can talk as long as they like
about what the politicians and the
workers did to France. But what
France lacked was air power to meet
the Nazi planes that came shrieking
out of the skies.
Nazi air power now rates second;
and not too hot as a second
The Nazis are great boys for strut
ting and showing off when they have
the upper hand. They are no good
and they never have been-at stand
ing their ground when they face a
superior enemy.
There isn't enough beer in Germany
to give them the kind of courage they
are going to need-the kind that sent
the mobile six hundred" to their
death in gallant but futile charge,
or the kind that made Bataan a monu-
ment to sheer heroism.
The military authorities tell us not
to be too hopeful; that there's terrific
sacrifice ahead.
That's probably true. Every Ameri-
can has to keep pegging away as if
the war were sure to last another ten
years.
But that doesn't prevent the OBJ
servation that the war, as far as Ger
many and Italy are concerned-can
fold up in hurry, once it starts.
We really are fighting two wars at
once. With Japan we have something
else. A mean and grisly job to finish,
running, perhaps, over long time.
Maybe the Nazis have it in them to
stand and fight somewhere until the
last man drops.
But probably not. On the basis of
performance in the past, definitely
not. It's long way to Berlin, by all
the old routes and ways of travel
But a plane is something else. 1t
can go mighty fast.-CMW.

CHERRY TREE
Where with our Little Hatchet We tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly, sometimes Aippantly, some
times recklessly.

You can go back now, if you like,
and read this column written for Jan.
/. 1t still goes.
What was said then was something
like this: The war CAN end this year;
it probably will not; you can't bank
on it; but it is POSSIBLE
1t can happen.
The way the Nazi army folded up
in Tunis is surely reminiscent of the
way the Germans folded up in World
War |, if you remember.
The Nazis in Tunis had plenty of
everything left when they quit.
Plenty of everything EXCEPT
AIRPLANES.
There was plenty of ammunition of
all kinds, plenty of arms, plenty of
big guns and plenty of food.
BUT THERE WEREN'T ANY
PLANES.
The Nazis were getting more hell
from the air than they could stand.
They are bad losers anyway They
didn't stand like the Americans and
Filipinos stood on Bataan. They just
folded.
They couldn't take that awful lacing
from the air.
Well, the Nazis have seen the end
of their superiority in the air.
From here on out the air power will
be on the side Of the United Nations.
Nazis that couldn't take it in Tunis
can't take it in Germany any better.
True enough, the Nazis still have a
large air force; but they don't rule
the air any more and they never will
again.
Germany is getting pounded more
heavily each week That will continue.
How long can the Nazi stomach stand
it,.
The present type of air power
probably isn't the last word. Every

eve doubt" says an editorial
that any section of public opinion in
this country-save perhaps the mine
operators-would deny the justice of
the miners claim. Even adverse edi-
torial comment appears to be concen-
trating its fire more on John L. Lewis,
their leader, than on the merits of the
miners case. At best, the editorial
writer's choose to shield the denial of
wage increase for the coal diggers
by mechanical adherence to the
Little Steel formula"
Continuing, the editorial says: "The
tangle centering on the War Labor
Board issue which has brought on this
impasse and which today threatens to
develop into major disaster for the
miners and severe injury to national
morale and the war effort, still could
be disentangled provided the personal
element which is largely responsible
for it is reduced to a minimum"

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

should at the earliest moment SINH
larly bring our joint air power to
bear upon the military targets in the
homelands of Japan. The cold -blooded
execution of United States airmen by
the Japanese government is proof
not only of the barbarism but of the
dread in which they regard this pos
sibility.
at is the duty of those who are
charged with the direction of the war
to overcome at the earliest moment
the military, geographical and pohti-
cal difficulties and begin the process
so necessary and desirable of laying
the cities and other munitions centers
of Japan in ashes. For in ashes they
must surely lie before peace comes
back to the world.
"And here let me say, let no one
suggest that we British have not at
least as great an interest as the
United States in the unfinching and
relentless waging of war against
Japan. am here to tell you that we
will wage that war side by side with
you in accordance with the best stra-
tegic employment of our forces while
there is breath in our bodies, while
blood flows in our veins"
The war on the Atlantic:
"In January, 1912, the United
States undertook the main response
bility for prosecuting the war against
Japan and for aiding Australia and
New Zealand to defend themselves
against japanese invasion which
seemed far more threatening then
than it does now.
"On the other hand we took the
main burden on the Atlantic. This
was only natural. Unless the ocean
life line which joins our two peoples
can be kept unbroken, the British Isles
and all the very considerable forces
which radiate therefrom would be
doomed"

NO FREEZING OF PROFITS
OR DIVIDENDS

Labor wants to prevent imitation. II
knows the dangers to the workers
standard of living when prices rise
faster than wages.
So organized labor has cooperateo
willingly with the Presidents pro-
gram for stopping imitation, has
accepted wage freezes and job freezes
whenever it seemed they might check
imitation or help win the war;
Some of the rules laid down by in
experienced office holders in govern
ment bureaus are too ridiculous to
merit compliance. Labor does right to
try to correct those who do more
harm than good.
But when some of the stooges for
big business talk hypocritically about
equality of sacrifice" when they talk
about putting increasingly heavier
taxes upon the lower income groups in
order that the taxes of the rich may
be lightened, our gorge rises.
If you want some interesting read
ing, take the latest survey of war in
dustries made by the Securities and
Exchange Commission. 1t shows lead
ing American war industries making
net profits of as much as 1873 percent
of invested capital. In shows the War
Department effecting savings on con-
tracts through refunds or price reduc-
tion on fiagrantly excessive charges of
$1,045, 100000 from April 1912 to the
end of January 1943. Profits up. Divi-
dends up.
Some of it is all to the good, even
while some of it is very bad. Our
capitalistic system will never be per-
feet, but we can do our part to keep
it from getting too bad, too topheavy,
too monopolistic. We need to keep
right on pressing for a fair division
of the profits of industry between
management and labor and capital.

n S WAS TO BE EXPECTED,
"A latest Nazi methods to boost
war production by drastic methods are
antagonizing the German workers and
have added considerably to the smol-
dering discomfort among the masses.
Well aware of this growing antag-
onism, the Nazi labor authorities
consider it the better part of wisdom
to remain in the background and to
leave the enforcement of their orders
to the employers and management,
the International Transport Workers
Federation has been informed through
reliable underground channels.
Employers in Berlin have been in
structed by the regional Labor Trus-
tee not to call on him for enforcement
of penalties against workers, but to
impose fines directly, "and if neces-
sary repeatedly, up to the amount of
days wages, exlusion from welfare
services of the establishment, such as
canteens, ETC., and Withholding pay
ment for holidays"
All instances of breach of contract,
slow work, absenteeism and indisci-
pline generally on the part of foreign
workers in Germany must be reported
to the Nazi Labor Front, and if no
remedy is Forthcoming, to the Ges-
tapo itself. Charges against recalci-
trant German workers are handled by
the labor exchanges.
Any comment we might make on
world affairs this week would seem
puerile in comparison with the forth
right assertions made by Winston
Churchill, Prime Minister of England,
to the Congress of the United States
this week.
Consider what he said about mat
ters which have been weighing most
heavily on the minds of Americans.

Army and Navy brass hats have al
ways preferred dealing with the big
companies. Their solution to the bot
tleneck arising from the fact that the
big companies couldn't produce all
