WiIIkie Talks !
PIeasingIy. but
.InaccurateIy
Broken Pledge. Charge
Just Wont Stand Up
By BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

ONE way of unwittingly play
~ ing the Iiitler-Jap game in
the United States Is 10 assert
that we arc not doing all we
can for Russia and China.
The worst example of these
reckless statements was the as
Sertlon of Wendell Willkie that
in regard 10 Russia and China
our record is one of boast" and
broken promises. %
That Is not so (to use polite
language).
We have lent billions 10
Russia and millions 10 China.
We have lost many Seamen and
ships shipping supplies TO Muir
manSk.
If Britain. with our help, had
not stood of Hitler in the ter
Tible q a Us Of 1910. England
weHiA have gone down. and To-
day China would be Japan new
colony and Russia would be Hit
lCTS.

CLOSE CALL

The defenses of Alaska must be in very fine con- dition today Otherwise we don't see how it would have been possible for William Cemmens, writing ill the March Readers Digest, to tell us how close the Japs came to busting Governor Gruening from his office in Juneau last June
 Little short of a miracle this writer says, kept the Japs out of Alaska last June. They were not aiming at the Aleutians but at North America " and but for the grace of God'p Cemnpens quotes staff officer of the ADO saying, they'd have come right through. By now they'd be running Alaska from the Governors house in Juneau"
 One prong of the Japs' June pncer ran afoul of the U s. Navy at Midway. The other overlooked an airfied that Maj. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner had placed strategicaly west of Dutch Harbor.
 American land-based planes attacked the Japs from the rear and the thrust failed The enemy took over Kiska, Attu and Agattu and is still on Kiska.
 We've dumped more than a million pounds of explosives the Kiska Japs sunk their supply ships blasted their bombers out of the sky But they are still there, Clemmens says, and are going to stay there until "dig em out like you pry jiggers out of your skin
 The Japs have been successful in sneaking in supplies and more men. They will stay there and attempt to use the base until Americans set up camp on the island.

hogs instead of selling it as grain. This, of course, is customary in a large part of the Middle West.
 However, a lot of corn, above that fed to hogs, has always been sold to cattle raisers and dairy farmers.
 But today the biggest corn profit comes from hog-feeding. This is because Secretary Wickard, him. self an Indiana hog farmer, has put a floor price under hogs. In other words, hogs cannot drop below a certain price, so the farmer is guaranteed a stable price on pork Thus he fares better by feeding the corn to hogs than selling it to cattle raisers or dairy farmers at Sl 6 bushel. In fact, it is estimat- ed that it is worth about SIPS to $50 if he keeps the corn himself and puts it into pork.
 Secretary Wickard doesn't seem anxious to lift the ceiling on corn

More Than Hitler's Death
Philadelphia Record)


 We remember back in March of 1899, long be fore war began strange yarn trickled out of Ger many that the Fuehrer had been poisoned and that the Reich was being ruled by double. It turned out to be not-yery- good joke Sc did subsequent rumors of a Schicklgruber demise Now comes former Ambassador Davies, in the role of Sherlock Holmes presenting pure deductions that Hitler is dead. When you see all the camel's tracks pointing in one direction says Davies it is reasonable to suppose the camel went that way. One "camel's track" he argues Hitler's fail ure to speak to Germany the 10th anniversary of Nazidom's rise to power Even if Hers presence had been required at the front he could have spoken by radio. Instead Goering gave the address. And Goering the whom Hitler named on Sep tember l. 1939 his successor-"f anything happens Ito me
 Davies finds another clue in the three days of mourning. Were they for the dead at Stalingrad? Or for Fuehrer who had carried out his threat of suicide once his schemes failed?
 It is all very absorbing speculation Unfortu natey, it seems also to be wish-thnking A Reuters dispatch out of Berne tells of Hitler appearing ire quently his military headquarters and posing for pictures.
 If the thought of a dead Schicklgruber is pleas ant, it is also dangerous:
 Because this is not against man. but a war against vicious and degenerate Naz-Fascis system
 Hiter's death undoubtedly would be blow to German morale. But the Nazl party macnlne WOulu remain the only party in Germany. The military organization would be strong, possibly stronger, without his meddling. The mob of indoctrnated Naz hoodlums would have the same perverted minds and German schools would go teaching the perverted doctrines.
 Whats more as have noted, the Fuehrer has named his successor and there always would be crown prince"
 He frankly planned a Naz dynasty That's why the Fuehrers death does not Germanys defeat. That's why We should guard against any such false illusions
 That's why should prepare ourselves to op- pose any negotiated peace with Ribbentrop Goering vigorously would oppose a negoti ated peace with Hitler himself If Hitler dies and we let the Nazi system live then Hitler wins this
 If we make "Daran deal" day with ond string Nazis, Prussan Junkers the Cianos in Italy or Konoyes in Japan-we stand to settle for expediency instead of victory. Some years ago Charles Beard, one of fore most historians wrote little book called The Devil Theory of War" which exploded the notion that wars made by bad and wicked and ended when the individual devils responsible had been quidated.
 The Hitler regime is in point
 To kill the Fuehrer, the Duce, anybody else-and let the Fascist system survive would be to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory again.
 That in view, is why the death of Adolf object.

HOROSCOPE "The stars imcline
 but do not compel"
Saturday, February 27


 Strong benefic aspects today con- flict with powerful adverse plane tary influences. It should be lucky day for the Navy but hazardous for ayiators.
 HEART AND HOME: Women should be unusually fortunate un- der this configuration which seems to presage mental vision valuable in business relations. This is a sway lucky for contacts with the public and philanthropies should benefit under it. Girls may expect romance this weekend when love will be spo- ken and interesting letters will be received. Marriages will be numer- ous and honeymoons brief as the month ends and great war move ments enlist millions of men.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Executive expertness will be sought to solve costly transportation problems. This means that new leaders will be conscripted from the ranks of big businsss. Supplies for our millions of men in uniform will require such mountains of material that serious crises often will appear imminent, the seers foretell. Congress will criticize from points of view that do not extend beyond the capitol building. tt | NATIONAL ISSUES: Negroes will prove heroes in varied lines of war service and will demonstrate their ability wherever tested, it is forecast. Fifth columnists will con- tinue to attempt increase of class consciousness as they work secret ly within the United States. Plan etary influences are read as indi- eating rapid elimination of many prejudices, religious as we'll as so- cial and political through events brought about by the war. Uranus's progress through Gemini is to be largely responsible for many forms of human progress.

MRs. ROOSEVELT EXPECTED

The President tells the story of how the agents distracted bystand- CTS to prevent them from discov- ering that the President was ln the car On the road up to the lines, Agent Mike Reilly would suddenly point to the heavens, as if he saw a plane, and Agent Jim Barry would crane his neck to see. So would the bystanders. And by the time they had finished look ing, the Presidents car would have passed.
 For variety, they changed the ruse on the return trip. Agent Jim Barry pretended to fall out of the jeep, and Agent Mike Reilly pre- tended to catch him. Natives be- came so absorbed in watching this little drama, that they paid no attention to the car behind.
 The aim of all these tricks and preparations was successfully met namely, to keep the Presidents visit a secret from the Germans. Reilly says that most people who saw preparations being made in advance suspected that distin- guished visitor was coming, but guessed wrong as to the person. They thought it was Mrs. Roose- welt.

 In the meantime, local trans portation here is a wartime slow down. When the public transpor- tation system is upset, as it was by the recent snow storm, it be- comes definite threat to effec- tive prosecution of the war.
 Russell E. Singer, AAA general manager, in summing up the To- cal report, said: Much potential transportation space tin the Dis tricD is being wasted. We have a long way to go before we can say that the automobiles in Washing ton and surrounding territory are being used to maximum capacity
