REAL PERSON
BY DR.. HARRY EMERSON FOSDlCk
Deterministic Theory Offers
Defenses for Our Deficiencies

appreciate the factual elements in
materialism, for there is a mach
anistic aspect of the universe.
AS for the discoveries of psychol-
ogJ. the techniques of psychiartry,
the experimentation of sciences
like endocrinology, and the indig-
nant protests of humanitarian good
will against social injustice, they
are indispensable.
Nevertheless, their confluence in
our time has created a flood that
sweeps many off their feet. In
dividuals,, conceiving themselves
as victims of heredity and envi-
ronment, behave as such, and illus
trste the remark of a contempt
rary philosopher that there is a
deep tendency In human nature
to become like that which we i'm
agine ourselves to be-"
The conviction that heredity and
circumstances together make us
what we are commonly appears in
popular thought when an unsat-
isfactory heritage plus calami-
tous environment are used to ex-
plain personal failure. When this
occurs in the case of a friend, or
when humane sentiment broods
over social injustice to the under
privileged, the motive of SYM
pathy deepens our desire to ex-
onerate whipped and beaten men
and women from responsibility
for their fate. Inheritance and en-
vironment doomed them, we say.
1t would be absurd to deny the
truth in such judgments. 1t is
possible to be not so much born
as damned into the world. But
are heredity and environment the
sole factors in shaping personality?
When, rather than calamitous
heredity and environment, n e
faces instead superior inheritance
and favorable circumstance, there
is a better chance to reach an OBJ
iective Judgment. Must such an in
dividual necessarily be an admir-
able personality? Is that fate,
willy nilly, forced upon him? Ger
tainly in the actual process OF iv-
ing it does not seem so.
To the favorably born and we'll
bestead man, the realistic truth.
as he experiences it, appears to be
that he must make to his fine heri-
tage and advantageous environing
conscious personal response,
often costly, onerous, and sacri-
fetal, or else be a disastrous fail
IRE. It would be difficult to per-
suade Mendelssohn that he could
not possibly have missed being
Mendelssohn, or to convince Pas
teur that he could not have fallen
short Of becoming Pasteur. The
experience of painful effort in be.
coming real person is too vivid
to be escaped.

No Purge In Missouri
Rv DREW PEARSON
By DREW PEARS(


This, however, has nothing to do
with the White House. The White
House is keeping strictly aloof from
the Clark McKittrick fight, and If
anything. has leaned toward Ben
nett Clark, even though the latter
has opposed the President on pre-
Pearl Harbor war policies and many
other things.
The appointment Of Robert Han
negan, U. S. Internal Rvenue Col
lector at st. Louis, to be Commits
sioner of Internal Rvenue in Wash
ington was a big lift to Clark. Han
nigan was Clark's man, and Roose-
welt appointed him at the urging of
Postmaster General Frank Walker
and also Senator Truman, who went
to bat vigorously for his senatorial
colleague.
Administration scouts report that
Clark's prestige has been slipping in
Missouri, that it will be a horse race
between him and McKittrick for the
Democratic nomination. Whoever
wins this will then have to buck a
Republican candidate-which, ace
cording to present political tidef
may not be so easy.

DON'T WORRY MON
By Harry C. Ormsby

Don't worry, Nom, because I'm oversee,
There's million more sons just like me;
You came from here to the y. S. A.
And you know the reason I'm over here today.
1t seems that boys must straighten things out,
That some Of these people will soon learn about
And after it's finished, well have peace again
Just like the sunshine mixed with the rain.
So don't worry, Nom, have no fear
Merry Christmas from me and the gang over kere.
p. s. Tell all the kids what had to say,
A stamp a day keeps the Axis away.

Good Evening.
CARD SENSE

This year I won't send
Cards with covered bridges,
Tree tops in Autumn,
Snow-cove-ed ridges.
This year I won't send
Pictures Of cats and dogs,
But Christmas-y scenes
With holly and logs.
This year won't send
Silly cards at all
OF me and my family
From short up to tall
This year I won't send
A loud tinsely card
With sentiment enclosed
BY some moronic bard.
This year I won't send
A foolish card, but one in reason
Depicting the real story
OF the Christmas season.

The main problem Immediately after
the war is to avoid trouble with our
Allies who have fought longer and harder
than ourselves. Whether the Sultan of
Morocco prefers to place himself under
the wing Of the British and whether the
Baltic states are reincorporated into
Russia is of little Importance The dis
appearance of economic and political
nationalism will take care of all that.

nikovsH dominates the rail line from
Western Caucasus to Stalingrad.
The Reds by their southern offensive
claim the capture or killing of 312,65O
Of the enemy. If in
Nozis Holding time they force the sur
Vitol Cities render of the Germans
in Stalingrad and iso-
late the Germans in the Caucasus,
theirs will be then one of the most
sensational campaigns of the war The
Axis is filmly intrenched still in two
cities on the fringe of the great battle
field where the campaigns OF encirce-
ment are in progress. They are in
Rostov and they are in Voronezh-
which lie on two of the points of
triangle of which Stalingrad is the
third point.
Rostov is key not only to Stalingrad
but to the Caucasus. 1t is the gateway
between the Caucasus
Rostov Changes and the Ukraine,
Hands Often which IS almost COM
pletely in Germ n.
hands. Complete success for the Reds
in trapping the men at Stalingrad and
in the Caucasus probably would mean
the recapture of Rostov Before last
winter, the Reds had lost Rostov. Be-
fore last spring they had regained it.
The Caucasus operation takes place
about l20 miles south of Stalingrad. The
Red armies surrounded the Germans in
Elisha and then in one day moved south
westward 40 miles. This advance brought
them almost to the long finger-shaped
lake that runs up to the approaches to
the important town of Salsk. on the rail-
way that runs from Stalingrad to Tx
horetsk. From Salsk line runs to
Rostov Salsk, then is city like Velikie
Luki or Kotelnlkovski-of prime strategic
value and probably it will not fall with
out fierce fight.
Salsk is 80 miles from the furthest
advance point which the forces proceed
ing from the Elista region have reached.
The lake near Salsk is potential road
way, because it is covered with ice. The
Russians are taking full advantage of
the winter. They are used to their
country's cold which is too fierce for the
invader. The Red armies are active in
at least five campaigns-two sectors
northwest of Moscow, southwest of Voro-
nezh in the Ukraine, in the Middle Don
region north of Rostov and in the Cau-
casus. Gen. Gregory Zhukov is in COM
mand in the south. The great Timo-
shenko has a new undisclosed assign
ment.
In good weather across the far north
ern waters of the Atlantic convoys move
toward Russia. In those waters last week
battle was raging between British and
German naval units. The news of the
engagement was limited to a terse Ad-
miralty communique, which reported a
Nazi cruiser damaged and a destroyer
possibly damaged.
The Germans are believed to be keep
ing in Norwegian waters the large battle
ship Tirpitz, the pocket battleships Ad-
miral Sheer and Lutzow, the cruisers
Prinz Eugen and Admiral Hipper, 20
destroyers and a flotilla of submarines.

Pacific Front

Wake Island is the place where Amer
ican heroism was shown at its most
serene in the first weeks of the war.
Last week Wake Island gave the United
States a new story. Huge American
bombers from bases somewhere to the
east of Wake plunged from the high
heavens on unsuspecting Wake the day
before Christmas and dropped 10000
tons of bombs. 1t was the biggest mass
raid of the Pacific war. The news was
given out on New Year Day.
On the more familiar Pacific battle
fields, the japanese are showing a re-
gretably determined
Bitter Fighting spirit. The Austria
Slows Advance lians and Americans
fighting under Gen.
Douglas Macarthur in Papua pushed
forward their lines few feet in the
Buna area, but the Japs are still holding
on. For five hours on Monday Jap sub
marines shelled the Allied lines at Buna
village from the sea, but this novel firing
caused no damage. The subs fired away
during the dark, beginning at midnight,
while B-24 bombers winged over the sea
to Rabaul, the Jap naval base on New
Britain Island, and scored three direct
hits on a cruiser. 1t burst into flames.
