TWO SPEECHES

(Ontario Daily RepOrt)
Two important pronounCements Were
made on George WaShington'S birthday
one in Commemoration of this anniver-
Sary by President Roosevelt, the other in
celebration Of the 25th anniversary of
the Red Army by Joseph Stain They
were completely diSSimilar in content al
though each dealt with the conduct of
the war against the Axis powers.
President Roosevelt, speaking for the
benefit of the fund raising 500 dinners
of the Democratic party, warned against
putting partisan advantage above ma
tional welfare. Said he, The American
public will not forget, and will not con-
done, any attempts to use the unavoidable
shortages and restrictions of wartime as
basis for partisan campaign to under
mine confidence in the government"
Then our president continued his warn
ing against political pickering and con-
fusion by citing the faith of George
Washington which won the war of the
revolution against England.
Joseph Stalins speech, in contrast, hit
months have passed since the Red Army
straight from the shoulder. Twenty
began to wage its heroic struggle, uneX-
ampled in history against the invasion
of the German Fascist hordes.
''In view of the absence of second
front in Europe the Red Army alone is
bearing the whole weight of the war"
No statements could be clearer in in
tent than these of the Russian leader
they mean to tell us to quit talking
and get busy 1t is not enough that
Roosevelt and Churchill hail the feats
of the Red Army by words. The time
has come for deeds.
These two speeches are historical in
Importance. Set side by side they docu-
ment the war as it has been fought and
is being fought by the two countries. Soon
we shall have done with promises and
realize our peril, it is to be hoped.
Practical reality alone can win for us
the place at the peace table to which the
leaders Of this nation aspire.

the sphere of action commanded by
Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower, COM
manding Allied forces in Tunisia.
The communique reported patrol
activity on the part of the Eighth
Army east of the Mareth line, and
the impression here was that ROM
mel now would attempt to tighten
his lines to meet the double threat
of the Allied forces to his west and
the Eighth Army to the south.
GERMANS ALL OUT
The Germans now are entirely
cleared from the area west OF the
Kasserine Pass. Much of the credit
for the action goes to American
and British pilots who took advan-
tage of clearing weather to give
valuable support to ground opera
tions. The Royal air force bombed
and machine gunned the general
area around KaSscrine. Feriana and
Gafsa, while Americans concentrat-
ed on the Kasserine Pass itself.
A famous squadron of the regu-
lar French air force, flying medium
bombers, joined the Allied aerial
assault yesterday for the first time.
The group bombed Nefta, southwest
of Gafsa, and reported good results.
The squadron, which flies French
made planes, fought in France until
that nation fell to the Germans.
In the early part of the war the
squadron was concentrated against
Axis shipping in the Mediterranean
and later, when Bcnito Mussolini
entered the war, it bombed Italian
cities.

field at Tunis yesterday and scored

DO YOUR GOOD DEED

to share his or her car.
Does that indicate Americans are 100
per cent selfish? Is everyone oblivious of
everyone else? The whole theme of the
hour calls for cooperation, using full
motorcars, helping everyone get along.
Maybe we need more hardship, the real
scourges of war such as blood and death

TOO BAD EVERYBODY
ISN'T A BOY SCOUT
Everybody should be Boy Scout

Everybody should be Boy Scout
That includes men and women, boys
and girls, young and old.
If all who read this newspaper could
have been present the other night at the
annual meeting of the Imperial Yuma
area council of the Boy Scouts, they
would thoroughly understand the reason
for such an emphatic assertion.
At that meeting the high objectiVeS,
the pledges. the purposes, the high train
ing, the fine service, the accomplishments
in short. the Alpha and Omega of Boy
Scoutdom were uncovered and shown
forth with untarnished brilliance.
Scouts with appreciable degree OF
training seldom go very far wrong.
Scouts almost invariably rise rapidly IN
military and naval service. Behind the
great hero of the day is often found I
good Scout-surpriSingly often he Is re-
vealcd to have been an Eagle Scout.
The fine training given lads of the
phahle ages through Scoutdom leads
them toward we'll balanced manhood. a
strong sense of right and wrong, desire
to servo their neighbor. their nation and
their God, and the ability to assume lead
ership in mature adult years.
Yes. parents nowadays when faced
with the problem of rearing boys in war
time conditions, can we'll consider Serl-
ously the offers of the Boy Scout move
ment In fact all of us can we'll afford
to memorize the Boy Scout Oath:
On my honor, | will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and obey the Scout law;
To help other people at all times;
To keen myself physically strong,
Mentally awake and morally straight.

BLAMES JEWS

Hitler once more attributed the
war TO the Jews" and said:
Because the Jews in London New
York and Moscow have clearly stat
ed what would be the destiny of
the German people in case of their
victory, we are decided to give them
an equally clear answer.
This fight will not end, as they
intended, with destruction of Aryan
mankind, but with the extermina-
ton of JeWr" in this Europe"
Hitler said he was prevented from
attending the party celebration by
his duties at the Russian front.
There (on the eastern 'front.'
he said, will be decided the future
of Germany and beyond that, the
future of Europe"

WARNS GERMANY

Later in the proclamation Hitler
warned the peoples of Germany and
the occupied countries that he would
tolerate no opposition TO the Nazl
rule
He called upon the party to pour
energy into the weak, destroy ruth
lessly all saboteurs, meet terrorism
with ten times greater terrorism
and exterminate traitors regardless
of who they might be or under
what guise they try to put into ef-
feet their treacherous devises."

Evidence that the huge losses Suf-

to take the dangerous step of arm
ing the men of the nations he has
conquered was seen in this refer
ence in the proclamation:

second to demand a contribution
to this fateful struggle from those
countries which are responsible for
the outbreak of the war. We shall
consider it a matter of course not
to spare foreign lives at a time
which is demanding great sacrifices
of our own lives
This section of the proclamation
which was read by a propaganda
ministry official in Hitler's absence
last night at the 23rd anniversary
celebration of the Nazi party at
