the pact to Russia; after the fall
of Poland he offered peace to
France and Britain; after the
successful blitz against the Low
Countries and France, he offered
peace to Britain. Before the
campaign against Russia, he
offered an alliance to Britain,
after an outright alliance had
been refused by Russia.

quered Germany itself by COM

and like all paranoiacs, he hopes
continually to repeat a success
full pattern.
Hitler Now Desperate.
No matter what the fortunes
of the Third Reich were, Hitler
nevertheless would attempt the
diplomatic method of achieving
his aims. But since his fortunes
are low, his efforts are desperate.
And it is significant that he Is
no longer trying to deal directly,
but indirectly, through his satel-
lites.
Hitler has passed the climax
of his power. He has won every
thing he possibly could win, and
If he could hold it. would emerge
as the greatest conqueror since
Alexander. Ten years from now
his German empire-if he could
get negotiated peace leaving
him all or most OF what he has
would be the greatest power on
earth, and invincible.
Leaving him all" by no means
depends upon incorporation of
the territories he occupies into
the German Reich Puppet and
satellite governments would be
as useful for his purposes. All
he needs Is a European system
dominated by a German central
power, plus the dissolution of the
present grand alliance between
the Anglo-American countries
and the Soviet Union.
What Are His Plans?
Now, putting oneself into the
mind of Hitler for a moment,
how does he think he can achieve
this?
He had hoped to achieve it by
knocking out the Russian armies.
Now he knows he is not going to
succeed in this. His agents are
even admitting it openly. A prin-
ciple of German propaganda has
been, in the past, never to admit
any weakness. So, if they them
selves admit that it is impossible
to defeat Russia, it is not because
OF love of truth, but because Hit

Commentator Expects Hitler to Depend
On Diplomacy Through His Satellites

Ter Is playing a diplomatic game.
Hitler's games are never played
openly. One always has to ask
ones self why he is doing what
he is, since the obvious answer Is
seldom the right one.
The statement that the Ger
man armies are unable to defeat
the Russian armies could have
two political objectives: To come
to peace terms with the Russians,
or, to appeal to the West for SAL
vation from the Russians. Either
is threat to the Anglo-American
alliance with Russia.
Relies on Subtlelty.
He pu-sues his attempt to drive
a rift in subtle ways. First, he
announces that he has been ne
gotiating with the Russians-not
openly, but in such manner that
he can repudiate it If desirable.
Then, he pushes into the FORE
ground those Of his satellites
whom the world regards as pit
liable victims. Rumania lets it be
known that she desires to get out
Of the war. Undoubtedly Ru-
mania does, but it also serves Hit
ler's purposes at this moment.
The military consequences of
such step would be negligible
for the Germans.
The Rumanian military strength
has been pulverized in two years
of war in Russia. Whether Ru-
mania would be able to withdraw
from Russia the remnants of its
divisions is doubtful. There would
be advantages for Germany were
Rumania to be safe from in
vasion and bombing. 1t is the
source of much of Hitler's oil.
Diplomacy Helps Hitler.
In a political sense Rumania
would be Nazi-occupied terri
tory in any case. German inf1u-
ence is strong enough to over
throw any government that 1t
chooses and recognize another
one. 1t is impossible to "iberate"
Rumania before the German
armies are defeated.
But, in the diplomatic field, the
negotiations are advantageous
for Germany. Hitler was de-
lighted to instigate a quarrel be-
tween Poland and the Soviet
Union, over the question OF the
future border line and the treat
ment Of Polish officers in Russia.
Now he hopes to make another
dispute over the question of Ru-
mania. If the Western powers
should accept any Rumanian Of
fers without having previously
reached and absolute agreement
with Russia, there again would be
a rift.
And If we begin to negotiate
with Fascist and collaborationist
governments, we soften up the
resolution not to negotiate with
Hitler himself or some repre-
sentative Of Hitler.
Expect Peace Feelers.
We can count on being in, for
months, for this kind of political
warfare. There are questions
that always must be asked when
peace feelers are put out. Do
they emanate from really inde-
pendent governments?
And-s there absolute agree
ment between ourselves and
Russia?
Let us be cautious lest we be
seduced by what is, apparently,
a diplomatic success for our
selves. Hitler's peace offers, di-
rect or indirect, always have been
full of BOBBY traps.

Laborers' Union Quits Work
On New Aircraft Plant

By the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, June 21.-
About $50 members of common la
borers' union quit work at a $5,OO0.-
900 Douglas Aircraft modification
plant yesterday in a closed shop
dispute.
w. A. Meyer, secretary Of the Ok
lahoma City Construction and
Building Trades Council, with which
the union is afhhated, said the men
stopped work because OF what he
termed violation Of the closed
shop agreement by Leo Sanders, the
contractor.
Mr.. Sanders said he had the right
to employ non-union men If the
union could not fill his requisition
for union men within 48 hours.
Maj. E. A. Cornell, area Army
engineer, had no comment on the
work stoppage, which occurred Just
two days after he appealed for an
additional 800 men to speed com.

main invasion point this year.
From the Nazi point Of view, It
has = three-fold advantage: They
expect the italian German troops
to offer stin resistance to the
Allies and possibly discourage
them from pushing farther than
the fortified Mediterranean is
lands; 1t will hold the Italian
people who are more war weary
than in the past, and will prove
to the European people who are
beginning to lose confidence In
Nazi invincibility that Axis forces
are to be found everywhere.
According to competent OBJ
servers, the dispatch Of an in
definite number of divisions to
Italy has not weakened the Nazi
forces In Russia.
The Germans have almost
completed their last total mobili-
zation which has yielded more
than 800 divisions. This gives
them about 100 divisions to use
in any section Of the European
fortress which we may attempt
to attack this year. The COM
munications system is such that
they can be transported to the
danger spots in as quick time as
we can concentrate our forces
for an attack.
Plane Factories Retooled.
The Allies have q tremendous
air superiority over the Nazis in
the Mediterranean and in West
ern Europe. But the Nazi fac
tories, which ceased work last
September to be retooled for
manufacture of new, speedy day
and night fighters, started pro-
ducing planes in large numbers
last April.
The production from a number
Of factories spread over Germany
and Nazi-occupied territories Is
sufiicient to make our air raids
more costly than in the past.
Military observers in London
have noticed a much-increased
air resistance in Western Europe
since the middle of May and that
resistance Is now noticeable also
In the Mediterranean. Our job
In the Mediterranean is, of
course, easier since the short dis
tances which separate Anglo
American bases in North Africa
from objectives in Sicily and
Southern Italy make it possible
for our fighter planes to accom-
pany the heavy bombers.
Yet in spite of this distinct
advantage, Allied airmen have
encountered increasing opposi-
ton recently over Sicily and the
Italian boot. The number of
Axis fighters has substantially
increased and 1t is believed it will
increase further in the near fu-
ture.
OF course, the Allied high COM
mand Is fully aware that the
conquest Of Sicily will not be as
easy as that Of Tunisia If the
Axis determines to offer serious
resistance.
This possibility was taken into
consideration when plans for op-
erations In the Mediterranean
were established. But the arrival
Of fresh Nad forces and aviation
in a region which appeared to
have been abandoned by the Naz
high command, raises even more
difficulties.

ACTION, NOT HOT AIR, NEEDED

Colonel Paul Logan of the U. S. Army
Quartermaster Corps, has said that: Every
person working in the food industry is just
as important to this war effort as any per-
son working in ammunition or airplane fac
tories. Their services could not be dis
pensed with if we are to hope to win this
war" Eko
In spite of such opinions from men in
authority, the distribution industry has been
bedeviled by red tape, confusing directives,
loss of vital employees to essential war
industries, and other handicaps too numer-
Gus to mention. Notwithstanding official
comment the distribution industry is far
from being included in an integrated civil
ian supply program The latest proof of this
was the announcement by selective service
officials that war work rather than depend
ency would determine deferments. Work
ers were advised to get an essential job.
CONSERVATION spread through every retail
establishment Vital employees began look
ing for essential jobs. They were not told
that distribution of necessities is as essen
tial az building ships.
The retail distribution industry is do
ing everything within its power to ease the
plight of consumers suffering from the
blight of shortages. 1t is doing everything
within its power to efficiently carry out the
controls and restrictions imposed by the
government. Proprietors spend long hours
figuring out rules written by lawyers which
other lawyers cannot interpret
The task of the merchants can be
made infinitely easier and the welfare of all
of us will be UNNECESSARILY improved if the
essential character of retail distribution is
recognized without further delay

Captain Eddie Rickenbacker is stating

THE FOUR HoRsEMEN

Reports persist that Hitler is either
oead or seriously i'll, but, as The Citizen has
said several times before. it is of little con-
sequence, so far as bringing Germany 20
her knees is concerned, whether the rumoIs
about aim are true or false. The Citizen has
said, tho. that probably the Germans would
be able to carry on better and longer were
Hitler dead, because the German high COM.
fnand, composed of some of the greatest
military men in the world, would not have
to defer to his ..intutions' in making their.
decisions.
What must be rooted out of Germany
is not Hitler but the mad philosophy that
Hitler typifies While the German war
lords probably no longer entertain Thoughts
of successful world conquests, yet their con-
fidenee in stalemate at least has not been
shaken sufficiently to force them to sue for
peace.
But the time will come, Hitler or no
Hitler, and it is as likely to come as sud-
denly as it did in the first World War, wheA
even Germany's warlords will be convinced
of the futility of fighting longer. But until
that time comes they will fight on, fight
harder when their backs are against wall.
Wher the end comes, Germany will be pros
trate, not the Germany of the first World
War. Then, her cities showed not a single
scar of war, but now every one of her major
cities is piled up with heaps of concrete
and twisted steel-grim reminders of the
RATS destructive raids.
SO, as was remarked, it is of little con-
sequence whether Hitler is sick or dead: it is
what Hitler typifies that will keep the fight
ing spirit of Germany alive till the Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse will ride
roughshod through her once mighty ard
beautiful cities. Two of the "Horsemen,"
Death and Pestilence, will take fearful toll
of German people, and those who survive
will wallow in an abyss of despair and sor-
row.
For many years after peace comes, re-
morse and heartwrenchings will be the lot
of the German people
