THE WOMEN--
GIRLS NEED AWAKENING
TO WAR RESPONSIBILITIES

with all their time, with all their
brains, and with all their energy
If we did that, there would be
waiting list OF girls wanting to
get into nurses training.
For there Is no finer way girl
can serve In wartime than TO do
nursing.
1t Is good for girls. too, to know
that they have n real place In the
war effort.
No girl who knows she Is doing
her part as surely as soldier Is
going TO feel the Illustration that
comes TO young people who sit on
the sidelines. And 1t Is that frustra-
ton that leads many girls into
checking their moral scruples for
the duration, into thinking that II
they can't do anything else they
can at least make some soldier
happy before he is sent across.
SO America nedeS It's girls-es-
pecially In the field Of nursing--and
Americas girls need to be needed.
Why then don't parents and edu-
Gators get busy and sell girls on
the idea That winning the war Is
their number one lob?

Spanish Ship Reported

than one. The Nazi defenses
there were strong. and normally,
had the Germans intended to
oppose the advance Of the Red
Army, q major battle could have
been expected in that area.
Instead, the bulk of Hitler's
divisions had been withdrawn be-
fore the Russians reached Rzhev
and only slight rearguard engage
ments took place. Two theories
are being advanced to explain the
situation.
The agreeable theory is that
the Nads are reeling under tho
heavy Soviet blows and have no
heart in the battle. To prevent q
disaster similar to that at stalin-
grad the Nazi high command does
not even attempt to fight back
and Is withdrawing its troops at
speedily as possible.
Nasi Morale Still High.
There are no reliable indica-
lions IN Washington that the
morale Of the Nazi troops in Rus
sia has been undermined to tho
same extent as 1t was in the sum-
mer and fall of 1918. According
to available reports, whenever
there have been encounters be-
tween Nazi and Russian units the
Germans have fought well and
they refused to surrender as did
their associates, the Rumanians
and the Italians.
Moreover, the Nazi high com.
mand is now withdrawing forces
from areas which still are a long
way from the advancing Soviet
armies, while advanced covering
troops at Tanganrog and Mariopol
are holding their own.
Hence, military observers lend
uttle credence to the theory that
the German armies are ready to
fold up as they did in 1918. Ac-
cording to these observers, neither
is the morale of the Nazi popula-
ton at home ready to collapse.
The German people are groggy
from the blows dealt their armies
on the Eastern front, but there
is no sure indication that they
want to quit.
Under these circumstances
many American military observ-
ers are looking suspiciously to the
concentration Of the Nazi forces

ecutive will go to 1900 Pennsyl-
vania avenue and urge Mr.. Roose-
velt to be q candidate to sue
ceed himself.
Within week, Representative
SABBATH Of Illinois, chairman Of
the House Rules Committee, and
several members Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee have
told the President he should run
again. And before that Senators
Murray Of Montana and Guffey
Of Pennsylvania, and Gov. Neely
of West Virginia all made state
ments declaring for Mr.. Roose-
velt's denomination and re-elec-
ton.
The President. according to his
visitors, 50 far has given the pro-
posal no encouragement. Mr..
SABBATH said he did not appear
enthusiastic. But then the Presi-
dent was not enthusiastic over
suggestions made to him that he
run for a third term, back In 1899
and 1910.
What the New Dealers are
anxious to see is . demand so
widespread for Mr.. Roosevelt's
denomination that 1t will be again
interpreted as a draft" emanat-
ing from the Democratic party
and the people generally. The
more public demands that the
President run again, therefore,
the more the New Dealers will be
pleased. Furthermore, such de-
mands will be regarded as COM
pletely offsetting any opposition
to q fourth term coming from
&, anti-New Deal Democrats.
The President properly may
consider that he need say moth
ing about a future candidacy. at
this time. No one can tell with
certainly what the war situation,
or the peace situation, may be
when the summer of 1914 arrives.
Circumstances may arise which
would impel him to run again,
or the reverse. Some Democratic
leaders, like Postmaster Gen.
eral Walker, the chairman of the
Democratic National Committee.
are urging that the question Of
presidential nominees be held in
allegiance until next year when
the war situation may be clari-
fed. But these considerations
will not halt demands that Mr..
Roosevelt seek reelection.
The betting odds in Washing
ton today strongly support the
idea that the President will be
the Democratic nominee. AS in
1910. the plea is made that the
Democratic party could not carry
the presidential election next
year with any other candidate.
AS it was then, 1t Is likely again
to be q potent argument with
those Democrats who believe that

Is 1t worth to a Fascist dictator to
have a democracy call him wise?
I should say that that one word

troops. It helps break the hearts
Of a people so that the dictator can
control them without the expense
and trouble Of breaking their heads.
Now we could begin again the
old argument that the State De-
partment Is 'blundering" It won't
do any more. That argument is
worn out. It Is limp as q rag.
There have been too many blum

Stotf Departments Policy Toward Fronco
Shows Lock Of Faith in Spanish People

The Belgian radio, In London, calls
for an uprising by Belgians. The
French radio. In London, calls for q
French upgurge. But the French
radio In Morocco, where We are,
does not.
Have we ever called Gen. de
Gaulle "wse"2 That one word from
US might have enlisted another mil
lion Frenchmen under Gen. de
Gaulle during this last year. We
withheld the word.
We give the word freely to Franco.
With that word, our arrangement
with Franco passes beyond the
boundaries Of bribery. There Is
nothing in the rules Of bribery which
says you have to call tho other party
sweetheart.
I do not question the State DE-
partment's patriotism. It Is busting
with patriotism. I do question its
policy Of belittling the Importance
of mass democratic action, Of treat
ing it, In almost every sphere, as a
two-for-a-penny business, Of putting
the lowest possible price on 1t,
wherever It has put . price ON 1t
at all.
In France, 1t judged tho senti-
ments Of the French people as Of
less Importance than the French
Fleet. It watched the historic
Chinese upsurge with blank incom-
prehension, and continued to feed
oil and steel to Japan. It has con-
tnuously muffed the biggest popular
story Of all time, its head invariably
filled with this ship, that man, this
omcial, that legalism, and these
factors.
Whole Pattern Ii There.
And so, excellency, with renewed
assurances Of my highest considera-
ton, I say it Is unprofitable to con-
tinue to debate with tho State De-
partment any more Of these specific
issues concerning the importance of
that ship, this dictator, and so on.
We must debate the whole pattern.
For the pattern is there. I want
some overt acts on the side OF the
plain democrats of France and
Spain to break this tough, continu-
ing pattern; then, when the pat
tern is broken, we can, perhaps,
treat French ship or q sale of oil
to Franco as separate, single issue.
I want a few incidents pointing
toward faith In the common people
as proof that we can discuss each
State Department issue on its own
merits. Until then, these smaller
things are only parts of the big pic
ture, and we must talk about the
big picture. The big picture is that
1t has been found impractical,
wherever we've operated, to issue
the rebel yell anywhere, any place,
any time during Europe's rebellion.
