LEWIS NO DICTATOR

Editor Askov American:
The coal controversy is now settled
by an anti-strike law. We will now
have plenty of coal to continue the
war and no molesting by John l..
Lewis.
But now 1 am wondering what
congress can do to get our pigs and
turkeys ready for market. Coal has
been tied up, now corn IS. Prob
ably this will create an anti-grain-
tie-law.
When the coal miners work con-
tracts expired they were independent
men. But can we say that about the
corn hoarders? He depended on a
government loan otherwise that corn
would not have been his today.
Of course he met his obligations
the same as the miners fulfilled their
contract, paid his loan and now "sit
down" on the corn, expecting high
er price, similar to the miners who
wanted and waited for a new con-
tract and higher wages.
Whether we will have corn or coal
depends on the producers, but really
we should not become the victims of
grain spectators. Spectators are
the real obstructionists to winning
the war.
I do not want to be the judge. I
do not know which is the biggest
crime, to strike and not produce coal
or to create an anti-strike law to
force the production of coal.
Anyway, I am glad Mr.. Roosevelt
is still Democrat for he vetoed that

NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page II

This is, especially, the case on the
South Sea islands where the initia-
tive has passed from the Japanese
to the Americans, and where each
clash for long time has ended with
an American victory.
At the present time, fighting CEN
tiers about the Salamaua positions on
New Guinea, and Munda on the is
land of New Georgia, and while the
strength of the japanese is rather
surprising one, it is still clear that
it will be inadequate in the long run,
one reason being that the Americans
are able to ship supplies and fresh
troops, and the Japanese are not
at least, they are terribly handicapped
in this connection.
Up in the North Pacific, heavy
fighting occurs from time to time,
for here the American forces are
continuing their efforts to Wrest the
Aleutian island of Kiska away from
the enemy. Civilians may have been
wondering why Kiska is so hard to
take, but the military leaders have
their own reasons for moving eau
tiously.
Air and Sea Fronts.
In Asia as we'll as in Europe, the
bombing front is being kept alive,
and high. explosives dropped from
machines that thunder through the
clouds, are causing lot of death and
destruction, especially in Europe.
Here the American and the
British bOmbers keep up their
systematic devastation of Axis
production centers, thus weak
ening Nazi and Fascist resist
ance before it gets a chance to
develop fully.
At the same time, it has not es-
capped general notice that the sub
marine warfare has, so to say, taken
a back seat You don't hear much
of shipping being sunk by Axis tor
pedoes now. There's a reason, and
that is the increasing supremacy of
the United Nations on the high seas.
Underground Front.
The mute front of Europe's Nazi-
occupied countries is getting ready
for the climax, and once in while
in spite of all warnings-the lid
blows off. That happened in Den
mark a few days ago when anti
Nazi riots took place in Copenhagen
Aarhus, Fredericia, Odense and Es-
bjerg Judging from descriptions,
there must have been casualties, but
they have not been reported. How
ever, when armed Gestapo men fight
unarmed civilians, the fighting is not
likely to have been bloodlesS.
