BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

This week it is four years since
the Second World War began; just
stop a moment, please, and reflect
bit on all that has happened since
those early September days of 1889
and what worse things are likely to
happen before the end of 1943! There
is an ancient saying that things have
to become real bad" before they can
become good. War nowadays is a
worse catastrophe than during any
other period of the worlds history,
but since it is here, since it is a
fact, it has to be fought through all
its bitterest stages before victory and
the blessings of peace may come.
And for the purpose of making the
war the worst ever for the Axis
powers, the Quebec conference be-
tween President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill was held; it was
to be followed this week by further
conversations in Washington.
Quebec crystallized itself in
statements to the effect that ia
pan and Germany were to be con-
sidered military detectives of
just about equal importance:
both had to be crushed.
AS though to emphasize the jap
anese part of this program, Lord Louis
Mountbatten was appointed United
Nations chief commander in south
east Asia, his most immediate task
being that of reopening the Burma
road to China.
japanese Defeats.
By way of preparing the final Of
fensive against Japan, American
forces have driven the enemy away
from the island of New Georgia, and
are likely to capture the japanese
air base of Salamaua on New Guinea
one of these days.
Reported Nazi attempts to persuade
Japan. to declare war on Russia = to
relieve the pressure of Soviet armies
on German troops = have so far
failed; for many reasons, it is un-

Nazi Defeats.
And on the European front it is
still the Russian activities which form
the central feature of land operations.
Nazis are abandoning position
after position as the Russians
storm ahead, getting ever closer
to Smolensk, Bryansk, POltava-
and Kiev.
Military observers doubt that Ger
many will ever be able to recover
from the blows administered to her
on the Russian steppes, and, at all
events, it is considered extremely un-
likely that Hitler will attempt any
more offensive on this front. He is
"done for' here.
While the Russians expertly are
taking care of the Nazi armies on
the European eastern front, American
and British bombers are melting out
unbelievably stern punishment to the
Nazified part of the European western
and central front. Berlin and Nurem-
berg now are among the most heavily
bombed cities in all the world, and
the question of supplying Hitler's'
forces with adequate arms, ammuni-
ton, and other war material is be-
coming regular headache to him.
Since he does not retaliate;
since he does not bomb the cap
itals of his enemies; since his air
craft defense is becoming weaker
and weaker - in Germany it
self-it may be assumed that he
is suffering deep defeat on the
air front, too.
There is still a possibility that
Churchill was right when some time
ago he wondered whether Germany
could be bombed out" of the war.

bombings are followed by instant

This is a good time to locate next

Local Needs Get
W NC Attention
Employment Sterilization
Coal of St. Paul Meeting
Last Week.

Minnesota United States Employ
ment service managers, at a War
Manpower Commission conference
called in st. Paul last week, have
been provided with details of pro-
gram to extend the VINO plan for
employment stabilization to the local
office level, and thus meet local needs
more promptly.
Edward M. Giblette, manager of
the Mora USES office, has been given
new duties under the program in
which he becomes area director for
VINO, with jurisdiction over Kama
bee, Pine, Isanti, Chisago and Mile
Laos counties. Formation of COM
mittee to advise as to stabilization
practices in this area will be the first
step.
Sterilization Needed.
"The purpose of this new phase
of the employment stabilization pro-
gram" Mr.. Giblette explained, ''is to
bring to the local level, the tech
niques that heretofore have been
operating regionally. We mlust have
this stabilization in the employment
of essential workers in their present
jobs to prevent inefficient job shift
ing, wasted effort, and reduced pro-
duction, as we'll as to provide an
orderly way of transferring workers
from one job to another, when such
transfers are in the interest of the
war effort.
ut was made plain to us that vol
untary employment controls must be
extended, if we are to avoid the
necessity for a National Service act. >

contradiction of the notice on

cial secretary of the local has
been ordered to collect" il,

THE covering letter tells you
Il that because you have re-
ceived a few paltry raises in in
flated money with which to buy
little luXuries, you will of course
be glad TO Know that your money
will be used 10 bride congress-

gressmen must be creased, that

tidy sum with every session Of

You will find no exact paral-
lei of all this in the book of

tinctive popularity of New Deal

Fascists in your government

IN ANALYZING our own
i brand of fascism, introduced
and fostered by the New Deal
government, we must keep in
mind always that in each coun-
try which has fallen under
fasciSm there were slight vari-
ations of method, although in
every case the objective has
been the same, the seduction
and creeping subjugation of the
people.
Thus. certain fascistic moves
which have been made by the
unions in the United States, al
though they plainly have that
objective. may have no exact
parallel TO any move in either
Italy or Germany.
And thus, the authors OF
these stealthy attacks may
plauSibly deny that they are
FascistS and defy any one to
cite any precedent from the
books of MusSolini or Hitler.
I EFT me, therefore. discuss a
Il familiar process in our trend
toward fascism or, if you pre-
fer, toward communism, there
being no essential difference
between the two.

them in commission at the rate of
