The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1943-02-18

When students begin to learn how
to operate the typewriter they are
given sentence upon which to prac-
tice. 1t runs this way:
Now is the time for all good men
| to come to the aid of their party.
a variation is the following sen
tence:
The quick brown fox jumps over
lazy dog"
Adolph Schickelgruber surely could
use that first sentence right now. And
| how! If he is alive he probably is re-
peating it over and over, like the lit
any of lunatic.
And his brown shirts probably are
wishing they had nothing more danger
Gus to do than play leap frog over lazy
CANNES.
In the most turbulent of all possible
worlds matters are in real ferment
ut this moment.

OF course there is no telling what
may turn up during the interim be-
tween writing these lines and their ap-
pearance in your favorite labor paper.
But at the moment the internal af-
fairs of Nazidom are in beautiful
mess.
Whether just now Schickelgruber
alias Hitler, could be beyond all harm,
or ne could be locked up, loco, or i'm
prisoned by his ambitious fellow Nazis.
We shall see, in due time.
| There may be those who will re-
member that at the turn of the year
it was Speculated in this column of
comment that while it is definitely not
safe to say that the war will end this
year. quite as definitely it CAN end
this year-and suddenly.
1t is advised that nobody rely upon
any sudden ending, but it may be
worth while to tuck away in a mental
spare room the idea that it can hap
pen, perhaps out of the let-down and
chaos consequent upon the complete
or partial collapse of Hitler.

That Hitler, whatever may be his
fate at the moment, is being of num-
bered days of sanity, appears to be
quite well established
A loony leader isn't much of a
leader.
For one thing, there are too many
jealous and yoraciouS wolves around
Hitler to permit of any long continued
unity of command
At the moment Hitler may be as
sane as he has been. We don't know.
He may have some years of sanity left
to him, provided he is permitted to
live. We don't know
We do know that if Hitler is the
type pronounced by some eminent au-
thorities, his reason, such as it is, can
90 blooey at any time. Such cases don't
progress according to time table, but
do progress according to Il route laid
down.
1t all makes interesting speculation,
while the armies of Russia, Britain
and the United States crowd in upon
the losing barbarians.

However, we must remember that
whatever may be the length or nature
of the war in Europe, its sudden end
ing would not be followed by a sudden
ending of the war with Japan.
We under estimated Japan as Hitler
underestimate RI 81 Il. Only we
WILL beat Japan, While Hitler is
cooked in Russia.
Japan probably can fight for quite
Il long time. We have Il real job to do
with Japan. Naturally, we could con-
centrate greater fire power upon the
! NipS with Hitler out of the way, but
we would still have Il fight on our
| hands.
The one thing we cannot afford to do
! is to let down in any respect. 1t is
interesting to speculate about these
matters. But no matter what may be
our momentary views or conclusions
there is only one thing for Us all to do
and that is to work-top speed, live as
close TO our belts as necessary, stay
in there pitching, until the war is
won and ended with a knockout. -
