Can't Free Themselves

In theory Secretary Hull has offered Bull
garia, Hungary and humanla the only sensi-
BILE course-to break with Germany and save
their peoples from sharing the punishment
that Germany must suffer. If they should cast
off the Nazi yoke now they might expect con-
sideration from the United Nations when the
time comes to deal with the AXIS
The theory is splendid, but not practicable
None of these countries could shake them
selves free from the Axis, however desperate
ly they might try to do so.
Italy offers an example Of what would hap
pen to them if they made the attempt Bado-
Clio signed an armistice with General Essen
hover and ever since Italy has been battle
ground. When the wa, is over Italy will be
in ruins. If Rome, ITSELF is saved it will be
little less than miracle
AS the Germans withdraw before the Brit
lsh Eighth and the American Fifth armies
they are laying waste the land they traverse
the towns and villages they quit The smoke
of burning fields and hsbitations marks their
retreat
With Bulgaria, Hungary and Rumania over
run with German forces, whether military
or gestapo, any step by their governments or
peoples to align themselves with the United
Nations would result in their lands being
wasted just as Italy's have been.

emusic On My Beat" by How

ard Taubman (Simon g. Schus
ter; $3.50.
Howard Taubman is very likely
the most industrious member Of
the New York Times music staff;
certainly he writes the most
books. And certainly his Emusic
on My Beat is the most amusing
of his crop, to date.
1t was written to be amusing.
Mr.. Taubman calls it "an init.
mate volume of shop TALK which
it is. It contains everything from
the most ancient musical stories,
to comment on the activities of
certain musicians with fascist
leanings, and it does not leave out
anybody who has a connection
with the game" There is even
chapter on managers, whose in
fluence the public undertakes
grievously.
But the gossip is what that same
public will be most interested in.
Mr.. Taubman's most familiar hit
is the story about Elman and tho
pianist, Leopold Godowsky, sitting
IN a box at Jascha Heifetz's New
York debut. Its hot in here %
Elman is said to have declared
and Godowsky replied, Not for
pianists." 1t would be diffic,,l+ ~

at the National Press Club felt.
I suppose, much as 1 felt. You
could not applaud when for an
hour you had been seeing how
our men are dying and how they
will have to go on dying for quite
some time. I saw familiar shots,
taken in Sicily about the time ]
was there with the Seventh Ar
my last summer. 1t all came back
again. what I felt there and what
I forget back here in the coy
warmth of home and friends-the
hard, chilling fact that war is
killing and being killed.
Why did Charles E. Wilson. who
resigned his $175,000 job as presi-
dent of General Electric to work
for $4,000 pushing production for
WPB, feel i1npelled to go before
his former industrialist associates
at the convention of the Nation
al Association of Manufa cturers
and voice a sober rebuke?
Wilson said that from where he
observed Washington, it was ap-
palling to see cliques and spe-
cial interests separating out OF
the main body of the American
war effort to work for their own
private interests and ambitions. He
said some of these want to win
complete victory for themselves,
regardless of the consequences for
others and for the nation. Wilson
said that not since the Civil War
has there been such need of unity
and so few signs of it. He spoke
with scorn of IAN American breed
of maggot," of men ready to
spread the poison of hate at ev-
cry turn. ready to plunge US into
disastrous internal strife.
What Wilson says privately goe:
even beyond that. He has never
voted for Roosevelt and probably
never will, but he is shocked at
the readiness of some industrial
lists to place their hate for Roose-
welt above the nations war needs.
and who regard nothing so i'm
portant as getting him out of the
White House. That was behind
Wilson's remark in his NAM ad-
dress that this is time when in
dustrial leaders owe it to them
selves to exercise temperate judg.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICE

GOD THE PRESERVER OF
MAN was the subject of the Les
son Sermon in all Christian Sci
ance Churches and Societies on
Sunday, December r.
The Golden Text was from II
Ihessalonians 3:3. 1.-THE Lord is
faithful, who shall establish you
and keep you from evil"
Among the citations which COM
prlsed the Lesson-Sermon were
the following from the Bible:
Therefore take no thought, say
ing, What shall we eat? or. What
shall we drink? or, Wherewithal
shall we be clothed? (Fcr after all
these things do the Gentiles seek:)
for your heavenly Father know
eth hat ye have need of all these
things. But seek we first the king
uom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added
unto you" Matthew 6: 1889.
The Lesson-Sermon also includ-
ed the following passages from
the Christian Science textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
t.Ae Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: sLove giveth to the least
spiritual idea might, Immortality,
and goodness, which shine through
all as the blossom shines through
the bud. All the varied express
sions Of God reflect health holiness,
'-.1nortality-.nfinite Life, Truth,
and Love. In divine Science, man
is sustained by God, the divine
Principle OF being. Knowing this,
Jesus once said Take no thought
for your life, what We shall eat, or
what We shall drink, '-presuming
not on the prerogative of his Great
Or, but recognizing God, the Faith

WASHINGTON. - This week I
saw the new restricted War De-
partment motion picture which is
soon to be shown to war plant
workers around the country.
Everyone should have the op-
portunity to see it and l hope the
War Department will release it
generally. Especially it should be
seen by the pressure groups
around Washington, and some of
those industrialists and others who
are, in the words of Charles E.
Wilson of WPB, trying to posi-
ton themselves for the postwar
period long before the country is
cut of danger and long before
our fighting men have any chance
to position themselves.
This War Department motion
picture shows many German and
japanese news reel shots. Musso-
lini is seen being rescued by Nazi
paratroopers. There is the actual
German film of this bedrag8led,
haggard figure in shabby civilian
clothes as he meets Hitler. Hit
Ter appears somewhat stopped
and paunchy, not the trim, erect,
over-confident figure 1 saw in Ber-
lin in 1887 He and Goering and
other high Nazis shown in the film
looked like worried men to me.
Yet nothing about the film as
whole suggests an early end
TO the war. On the contrary, it
shows both the Nazis and the Jap
anese as vicious and excellently
equipped fighters. 1t may be that
Germany will collapse in the next
few months. Japan can go on a
long time. The War Department
picture makes it clear how the
japanese have spun web of
outer defenses covering thousands
of miles of the Pacific. We are
going to have many Tarawas be-
fore We even get at the real Jap

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Do you know the neighbor who lives in
your block,
Do you ever take time for bit Of talk?
:. Do you greet him with joy or pass
him right by
With a questioning look and quizzical
eye,
Do you bid him GOOD Morning. and
Glow do you do,
Or shrink up as if he was nothing to you?
He may be chap with a mighty big
heart,
And a welcome that grips, if you just
do your part.
And know you'll coax out his smniest
smile,
If You'll stop with this neighbor and visit
a while.
