COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

The German occupation forces in
Holland are beginning to see the hand
writing on the wall and their nerves
are suffering.
The bulk of the news from the sub
jugated country points to growing un-
easiness and preoccupatiOn on the part
Of the German uthorities-uneasines
over the approaching Allied invasion,
preOccupatiOn with individual self
protection.
Extending the anti-invasiOn defense
zone, the German Army Command de-
clared the Waalhaven district of Rot
terdam restricted zone. Fishing,
prohibited. A new disease called
bomb disease" is becoming increas-
ingly prevalent among both German
and Dutch Nazis. There seems to be
only one cure for it: prolonged stay
in Swedish health resort, far re-
moved from the invasion zone Fear
ing that the sulphur of the bombs may
ruin their jewels, they are taking them
with them, an underground newspaper
declared.
The Reich commissioner in Holland,
Seyss-Inquart, too, has been affected
by the wave of uneasineSs. He has
transformed his favorite country resi-
dence, the Clingendael estate, near
The Hague, into Il veritable fortress,
complete with mOat and drawbridges,
and reminiscent of the medieval
castles of the German robber barOnS.
The estate, which houses a variety of
buildings, has been proclaimed a sepa-
rate municipality it has it's own
mayor, town hall, post office, and even
a small hospital.
.Jittery German soldiers take to
wearing civilian clothing off duty and
to greeting each other with pacitist
slogans, it was reported by the same
underground newssheet nervousness
is beginning to replace self-glorifica-
prefers civilian clothing.
More remarkable still is it that
members of the military caste, when
changing guard, no longer greet each
shouts, but with the words, Never
again war;.
The Swedish paper AftOntigningen
says, in an article on conditions in
Denmark, that sabotage is effectively
r; ;ne.
insist that most of the sabotage is due
to Danish parachutists who are
dropped by British planes. They are
always certain to be received and pro-
tected by the Danish population.
Sabotage is primarily directe e d
against concerns working for the Ger
mans, only factories which employ
sabotage guards being attacked by the
SabOteurS. In many factories the work
ers have opposed the employment of
leaves them freer to apply monkey
wrenches in useful places themSelves).
What seems to be a new develop
ment is the so-called BLACK Police
the GeStapo. At least POO of these are
German S. S. men. They wear German
uniforms and display ii brutality hitll-
erto unknown in Denmark. During the
summer some 20 people have been
killed or injured in clashes with the
$. S. men. Furthermore, the sly and
ignorant Second-line troops which
formerly occupied Denmark have now
been replaced by much rougher ones.
Sicily, Orel, Tunisia, the defeat of
the submarine menace in the Atlantic
and our naval triumphs in the Pacific
are landmarks on our road to victory.
All of them are tied up with the Amer
lean miracle of production the
achievements of American labor in
turning out the tools of victory.

In the world of tomorrow, differences
in tongue and distances in space will
day. Here are countless possibilities
for a new and greater role for Ameri-
can Labor in the post-victory days.
Let's make good.

by mannerisms or self-conscious-

never had appeared in bright lights,
she would still be charming, in
teresting woman, with perfect
poise, and an irresistible sense of
humor; woman whom you would
like to see again and again, just for
the pleasure of enjoying the high
quality of companionableness with
which she is so gifted.

the party dispersed, and afterward
I realized that probably ought to

I know the reason. I had been with
half-dozen persons, all of them
good conversationalists, and every
one the possessor of a soft, low
pitched voice. That is one of the
minor reasons why I shall never

DEMI-GOD
IN ACTION

Editors Note: The No. l Congressional
demi-god, anti-Semitic, anti-Willkie. anti
Negro, anti-poll taxer Arthur Rankin
poured out his usual dose of poison last
week in Congress in an attack on the
Presidents Fair Employment Practices
Committee. We reprint his remarks as
reported in the Congressional Record to
show to what depths representatives de-
where the majority of the people are barred
from voting. Rankin is the type of
GENUS MEPHTTIS whose presence in our
lawmaking bodies threaten our place in
the international planning for peace be-
tween the nations and races of the world.
Hear is an example of Rankin's
ranting:
SO-called Fair Employment
Practice Committee
(From Congressional Record)
Mr.. RANKIN. Mr.. Speaker, I
ask unanimous consent to address
the House for one minute and to
revise and extend my remarks.
The SPEAKER. Is there objec-
ton to the request of the gentle
man from Mississippi?
There was no objection.
Mr.. RANKIN. Mr.. Speaker,
while President Roosevelt is away,
a bunch of crackpots down here in
what they call the "Fair Employ
ment Practice Committee" seem to
be doing everything they possibly
can to drive the white people of the
South out of the Democratic Party,
by trying to force them to accept
Negroes on terms of social equality.
They seem to have succeeded as far
south as Kentucky and Oklahoma,
Judging from the latest election re-
turns.
If they should succeed in driving
a few more Southern States out of
the Democratic Party, we would
not have enough Democrats left in
this House to force a roll call. The
party would be as dead as a door
nail.
When they go out and attempt
to force every private enterprise in
the South to accept Negroes, force
them to employ Negroes and pro-
mote them, whether they want |
them or not, they are simply Great
ing dissension that is going to
bring race trouble, just as it did !
in Detroit, Mich, and Harlem, New
York, and will result in injury to |
both whites and Negroes for years
and years to come.
When they attempt to force pri-
vate enterprise, I say, to bend to
their wishes in this respect, they
commit one of the most dangerous
acts of communistic nonsense I
have ever seen attempted by any
body on the Federal pay roll.
When they go to the railroad
brotherhoods and tell the white
men working on our railroads, who
have been good to the Negroes of
this country, that they have to
make engineers and conductors out
Of them, and that they have to ac-
cept them on terms of social
equality, L say they are insulting
the white railroad men of the coun-
try, and doing the Negroes an ir-
reparable injury.
This so-called Fair Employment
Practice Committee is really a
rump organization without any
legal authority, and should be
abolished at once. This is no time
for bunch Of crackpots to be STIR
ring up race trouble throughout the
country.
