It May Be Spring

r. is notable that in its discussion OF the
Moscow conference lzvestla' RUSSIAN govern
mont organ, while declaring the decisions
:,+od toward second front in Europe, add
cd that both British and Americans IN Mosco"
aoree the Russians were satisfied with the
,oi1itarv decisions taken, and no doubt they
made certain assurances to their Soviet friends
m this subject The quotation is not direct
from Izvestia but from an Associated Press
Moscow dispatch, which obviously summarizes
Izvestias own version.
Quite as obviously, it means that Moscow,
London and Washington are in agreement not
only regarding second front but also the
time for its establishment. Moscow has stopped
calling for it today or tomorrow. as In the
past. Instead, Izvestia is content to say that
its need in recognized and that decisions con-
corning it were reached by the Moscow con-
ferees.
It may be assumed, therefore. that there
will be an Allied attack in western Europe,
but that it will not come until the Germans
are sufficiently weakened by the present air
battle and the land fighting in Russia to guar
antee its success without unnecessary slaught-
er of Allied forces.
This could mean that no exped1t1onary force
will be sent across the Channel or the North
sea or into southern France before spring.
Another winters bombing of Nazi defenses in
western Europe and Nazi-controlled war in
dustries and communications, coupled with
further assured Russian successes on the
Eastern front and the probable elimination OF
enenv forces in Italy. could reasonably be
expected to pave the way for amphibious at
tack. maybe many attacks, in the west and
south of Europe when spring comes again.
This, naturally. is layman's view No one
outside the inner military circles OF the Allied
powers can know or hope to learn when the
blow will fall But evidence grows, and is sup
ported by Izvestia's declarations. that the OBJ
servers who have forecast the final showdown
with the Germans will not come before early
in 1914 may be correct.
There is one thing we may take for granted.
When the showdown comes, Germany will not
have a ghost of a show.

present circumstances, to think that Mr. Dewey
who has indicated he will not seek the Re-
publican nomination for the presidency, might
readily consent to be drafted. This is the more
probable in view of the fact that Mr.. Willkie
is unacceptable to so many G. o. P. groups
or fractions not only because he was defeated
in the last national campaign but because he
has failed to present cl, ar-cut policy, do
nestle or foreign, which offers the needed i'm
provement on what we have now
Mr.. Dewey has risen rapidly and seems
destined to go higher. He could not hope for
future favor if he should turn deaf ear to
his party's call. He is wise to display no great
interest in next years contest at this time
but would be foolish if he did not keep his eve
on the passing show or failed to lay his course
for the nomination if the wind set in his d.
rection, as many political prophets forecast it

Student Guidance

The honor roll at New Hanover High school,
as published in yesterdays papers, might
seem incredibly large if the reason for it
were not at hand
One of the more important phases of high
school work is student guidance. When pupils
are not making normal progress in their stud
les, or show no particular aptitude in certain
courses. teachers go into huddle with them,
seeking the cause. When it is located, as it
usually is the pupils are either given the en-
enlargement needed to bring them Up to par
or urged to change their course oil study more
than once if necessary. until they find them
Selves
Thus, the list of honor students grows and
more and more pupils fit themselves for the
tasks they must assume in maturity. What
an improvement this is over the methods of
past days when youngsters were required to
take identical courses and were expected to
show equal aptitude or be rated dummies

Time Not Wholly Wasted

Complaint is heard that the present Congress
has passed no vital legislation, and that is
the truth. But its time is not wholly wasted
If the tax bill now about completed by the
House Ways and Means committee wins ap-
proval Congress will have set the brakes on
federal extravaganza and done the nations
taxpayers a great service.
With only fraction more than two billion
dollars of the ten and one-half billions asked
by the Treasury provided the government will
be forced to practice rigid economy to come
out even in war expenditures. This can be
done according to competent economists, with
out sacrifice to the war program, by stopping
the wholesale waste that las characterized
federal spending since the war began.
With this House bill passed approximately
as it stands. it will have 70 be done, and SC
Congress will have achieved notable victory
for the taxpayers who are now carrying a
crushing load and would collapse If 1t were
Increased as the Treasury demanded.

Poppy Day

Poppy Day is near again. The Little flowers
will be offered to the public on Saturday.
They have been making their appearance
annually for so long time that no especial
introduction or appeal is necessary
The money derived from their sale is de-
voted to the care of the men whose bodies
were broken in former wars witt, fraction
going to the widows and orprans OF veterans.
There is one aspect of this years sale which
calls for much larger patronage than ordinary.
Many men who survived the lasi great up
neavel and earlier campaigns have become so
old they cannot longer provide TO, themselves
and must have aid from their fellow citizens.
1t would be ungrateful to ignore them and their
just claim.
Bear them in mind when young women offer

The Farmer Knew tt

From Granville, New York, Ernest c. stro-
beck, secretary OF the Dairymen's League Co.
operative Association, says that the League
predicted butter shortage two years ago
but that official Washington ignored the warn
ing.
THE small butter making farmers are pen-
allied by a rollback Of prices which the house.
wives are told is to save them money, al
though the rollback of five cents pound means
an average saving of only sixty cents per
year per person. Despite Washington talk Of

what he loses on the rollback the small farm

GET THE FEARS STRAIGHT

A recent advertisement shows
the picture of a wife blowing in
l777, while her husband was away
fighting for their country's indie
pendence. The advertisement then
stressed that by building up GER
tain financial reserves, one a n
gain freedom from the ugliest
fear of all-want."
Nowhere was the point m a d e
that the woman blowing was doing
. job to help free herself and her
husband and her country of a fear
much greater than that of finan-
cal want; namely. fear of tyran-
ny, fear of oppression, fear of in
justice.
The right to be independent and
free of domination by any gov
eminent, any king, or any bureauc-
racy. is what the 1777 woman and
her husband were fighting for. A
full stomach or financial security
were the least of their fears

Stories From Germany

American newspapers within the past week
have printed two more stories of Naz fear
and dissention, purporting to have come from
inside Germany. They should be taken with
the usual dosage of salt, since they may be
only the latest propaganda efforts to induce
complacency and relax the Allied effort Yet
there is enough plausibilty in each to warrant
it's being looked at, whether it is true not.
One story is the latest in a series dealing
with the Hitler-army feud This series began
long before the war. Its latest installment
was the rumor, shortly after Mussoini's alb
dicaton that Hitler had been overthrown and
a military dictatorship established. Since them
however, the military picture has changed in
two respects: Italy has made for herself as
satisfactory an arrangement with the Allied
powers as circumstances will permit, and the
prospects of an eventual Nazi victory have
become steadily less promising.
1t is not impossible that, in the light of
these developments, Field Marshal Keitel and
other top German commanders might really
believe that they could repeat the Italian pro-
tiations.
The other story is that Heinrich Himmler,
the Gestapo chief, and high officials of the
Elite Guard and Storm Troopers already
planning to take the Nazi organization under
ground when the political roof caves in, and
continue their work. These are men who
helped Hitler carry his party from d bunch
of beer-hall crackpots in 1923 to the rulers
of Germany 10 years later. And, according
to the story, they willing to devote an

rearmament. Their disappearance and t h G
emergency of military dictatorship ght
turn out to be the most expcdient solution

Both these plans, if they are ttbs. Wond

table, and that his wish for "sttone Ger
many would prevail. They Wou1d aiso pre-
suppose that the conditions N unconditional
surrender that President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill have repeatedly demanded
would be drowned out.
Perhaps both these stories are pipe dreams
But true or not. they serve to emphasize

IRENE Importance: The war in Europe will
not be won with the internal collapse of the
German nation. 1t will not be won with the
wholesale and till-distant defeat of the Ger
man army. The war will only be won, and
the world will only be safe, when Hitler
Goering, Goebbels, Himmler and every other
high Nazi leader are either in the custody
of the United Nations or are dead No public
clamor for early peace or cessation of further
hostilities should divert Allied strategy from
that goal, goal on which America, Britain
and Russia are agreed.
