JIAVE the Russian people ever
IL desired liberty as English
men. Americans preWar
France. Norway. Sweden and
Switzerland have understood
that term-that is, personal re-
sponsibility for ones acts under
full freedom of speech, writing
and action?
Louis NJ. Goren OF Brooklyn
writes 10 March Of Events a
vigorous denial Of my conten-
ton that the Russians ever have
desired 10 be personally free.
He says:
1.-The Russians are AZ good
fighters for their life and also
for liberty as any other civilized
people. IL not more so.
They rebelled In the 10th and
10th centuries.
They have struck for liberty
time and time again.
1T was due tn World War
conditions that they didn't form
n democracy"
MY CONTENTION is that the
wi Russians never have struck
for liberty" in the sense that
America and France did during
their revolutions.
They merely have sought 10
change one form Of slavery for
another-the state-slavery Of
communism for the state-slav-

The war in North Africa is well along in the
final phase, but how long it will be before the Axis
is driven completely from Africa is another matter.
Two bases remain for the Axis in all of Africa
Tunis and Bzerte.
approximately 100000 Axis troops have taken up
stands before these two cities. Every day in which
Rommel succeeds in holding off the fatal day is a
gain because it gives Hitler another day to complete
the defenses the ELECTROMAGNETIC next
front
Some observers believe that the Axis will be
driven into the Mediterranean by June-others are
more cautious. 1t may be that Hitler is determined
to sacrifice many of the 100000 left in Tunisa
in play for time in which to strengthen de-
lenses on the continent And if this is the case, it
will be long and bitter fight.
Tunis-one of the points that must be taken if
the Allies accomplish their purposes big
city of than 100000 inhabitants. 1t will not
be too easy to hold 1t lies plain with de-
lenses except the surrounding mountains. Many
roads lead to Tunis, too many Even the Allies
have yet to test the ability of Rommel's armored
divisions in fatal fight to the DEATH and the plains
stretching out to Tunis form suitable ground for
tank warfare.

Bizerte is an even harder nut to crack. Proba-
bly, the strongest position the entire African coast
France has been making it stronger for pore than
half century.
Bizerte cannot be thanked, for it stands, on the
tip of rocky peninsula, guarded by hidden gun en-
placements With its land-locked harbor and con-
neced lake it is built to receive sea-borne supplies
and to stand long siege.
Once isolated, however, it would offer nice tar

not do the trick,
In Tunis and Bizerte, the Allies face much
stronger opposition than they have faced anywhere

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
bat do not compel"
SATURDAY, MAY 8

! This is an uncertain day in plan
etary direction. There is threaten
ing sign for shipping, but aviation
is under benefic aspects.
HEART AND HOME: AS war rev.
olutionizes family life, children and
adolescents present new problems.
Like their elders they will be affect
ed by the mass influences emanat-
ing from millions of minds disturb
ed by fear, horror, suffering. While
/ hate is abroad in the world young
minds will reflect subtle vibrations
that inspire lawlessnesS. Wise men
and women will provide careful pro-
lection and guidance for the young
who are deprived of parental care.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Merch-
ants and manufacturers will enjoy
great prosperity through this
month, although American dollars
will be diverted into new channels.
High prices in restaurants will en-
courage the spread of lunch count
ers where carefully balanced menus
are served. Rationing will be felt
in homes where scientific market
ing is not practiced and purveyors
of food will profit Shoppers will
buy spring wardrobes containing
more clothing than is needed as the
boarding instinct guides many men
and women. War bond sales should
be stimulated even more than in
the past
! NATIONAL ISSUES: Taxes will
continue to harraSs citizens who
must meet economic problems of
extraordinary urgency. Congress
will be deeply concerned by mount
ing war expenses which next month
will reach colossal figures. Discus
sion of man power will assume SUI
preme Importance as the need of
the greatest armed forces in all
history is recognized by heads of
/ agriculture, as we'll as the Army
and Navy. Great battles are fore
cast for next month and there will
be more sensational victories re-
corded for May.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR IS:
A sign is read as presaging new
treaties for Russia and again Tur-
key will be much in the newspaper
headlines. Diplomatic misunder-
standings are forecast as censorship
is relaxed for press. and radio. The
seerS warn that too much discus
sion of war conditions will cause
serious results. Half-knowledge OF
United Nations campaign plans and
wild guesses will bring about serious
difficulties at this time when Sc
crecy is imperative.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of divers
kinds. 1t is well to avoid carefree
romances.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be intense in their emo
tons, ambitious and industrious
They should be carefully educated

necessary to bring all possible
pressure on both Lewis and the
operators for a quick settlement.
Meantime, in New York, the ne
gotiations between Lewis and the
coal operators were getting no.
where fast The operators had m
terpreted the Presidents telegram
to mean he would have no objec-
tons if the case went to the War
Labor Board, and they were stand
ing pat, hoping for this develop
ment. They felt sure that by its
past precedents, the board would
refuse wage increases.
The President, therefore, sent a
memorandum to Secretary Perkins,
stating that he understood the ne
gotiations in New York were dead
locked and suggesting that she send
John R. Steelman to New York in
an attempt to settle this dispute
through collective bargaining.
STEELMAN TAKES A HAND
Steelman, crack conciliator with
many aborted strikes to his credit,
announced that it was his aim to
reach a, settlement which would ad-
here to the Presidents anti-infla-
ton and wage sterilization prin-
ciples
This caused another backstage
flare-up. Davis and his WLB col
leagues were afraid the public and
mine negotiators would get the
idea that Steelman was represent
ing the War Labor Board So a
WLB delegation called on Miss
Perkins and gave her this ultima
tnm: Unless she issued a release
clearly stating that Steelman was
representing only the Labor De-
Partinent, not the War Labor
Board, the board would take the
mine case out of the Labor De-
partments hands.
WLB members wanted to feel
free to disapprove any agreement
made by Mr.. Steelman, if it was
not within the boards Little Steel
formula.
In the end, Madame Secretary
backed down. She issued a release
stating that John Steelman was re-
turning to New York to continue
the negotiations, but as the repre-
sentative of the Labor Department.
Thus continued the see saw of
personal jealousies, most of them
inspired by the basic fact that the
White House, instead of appointing
strong Secretary of Labor, has
taken away most of Miss Perkins
powers, creating other agencies
which function sometimes in con-
flict with the Labor Department.
Over this maze of agencies there
is no authority except the over
worked President himself.
