discouraging any boarding or UNI
necessary buying of clothing, the
supplies on hand will meet every
need" 'WPB has specified addi-

NEWS FROM RUSSIA.

Every days news from the Soviet seems to re-
port new gains and confirms the belief that the
Nazis are in danger of suffering decisive defeat
on that front
This defeat cannot be measured in terms of
favorable changes the map, because gains have
been slight compared with the vast areas which the
invaders have conquered since they invaded Russia
in June, l94l.
year ago. Lenngrad almost encircled and
the Nazs were $50 miles west of Stalingrad, now
one of their saients Leningrad is still encircled
And in the southeast the Germans, although re-
treating in some places still retain a huge gain
made last summer in a thrust aimed at the Caucasus
oil fields
But the Germans have been pushed back north
and south of the great Volga city,, and the Rus
SLAMS are threatening to recapture Rostov.
The Germans retreating again. but they
have not been routed and still capable of de-
livering Furnishing counter attacks.
But it is the territory which the Germans did
not gain rather than ground the Reds have re-
gained, that is important.
Hitler promised his people the city of Stain
grad His armies could not take Stalingrad and so
could not cut the traffic the volga, the goal of
the Nazi drive Hiter's forces could not penetrate
the Caucasus far enough to gain control of Russia
chief oil supplies.
Above ALL the Nazis have not been able to break
the magnificent spirit of the Russians Hter's plan
was to complete this conquest and release vast
armies to the westward. This he cannot safely do

longed at Jesse Jones doorstep,
but the fists were shaken at Leon.
The oil companies and the WPB
blocked the oil pipe line to the
Atlantic seaboard, but Leon got
the blame for cold houses.
And part of the blame heaped
on Icons head was because he
just didn't grasp the fact that the
American public will make any sac
rifice if it's emotions and patrio-
tism are swayed, but will sit back
on its launches like a balky mule
when it is scolded. Leon just didn't
realize that Gen. Iron Pants john
sons breakdown had worn out
There is one other factor Leon
didn't realize; he didn't seem to
know that the American people
don't go for anyone who is con-
stantly being photographed with a
big cigar in his mouth or taking
his stenographer for a ride in a
basket on his bicycle handlebars.
They consider it cheap stuff, and
they're not likely to follow man
who pulls it.
Cordell Hull, for instance, never
has picture taken with a big
cigar in his mouth. Nor does Jesse
Jones have his photograph taken
pedalling bicycle with girl on
the handlebars. They may smoke,
and they may do other interesting
things, but they don't have their
pictures taken doing them. They
know the American people like dig
nifty. Thus. dignified Jesse Jones
has watched undignified Leon Hen
derson take the rap on rubber ra-
tioning, and Henderson has been
foolish enough to let him get away
with it.
Some day Leon Henderson will
come back, and the American peo-
pie will realize that he is one of
the best public servants who has
ever sacrificed his time, his money
and his health for the doubtful
pleasure OF being panned by tn e
columnists.
But until then, here's hoping his
successor will profit by his ice
breaking mistakes, and realize that
though you can drive the Ameri-
can people to water, it doesn't pay
to push their heads down to
drink.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
bat do not compel"
SUNDAY, JANUARY 10

Benefic aspects are active today
which should be memorable for
impressive church services and pa
triotic programs. Interest in Bible
study and especially in Old Testa-
ment prophecies will be wide
spread.
HEART AND HOME Midwinter
will bring exacting household diff
ficulties to homes in all parts of
the country. Need of help in fami-
lies of all classes will be pressing,
it is forecast. Neighbors win as
sumo new responsibilities. AS in
plden days, friends will take on
duties that relieve emergencies of
many sorts: Illness will be preva-
lent due to changed living condi-
lions for war workers and changes
in diet, the seers announce. Chill
dren should be carefully safe
guarded
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Pressure
on the Federal Treasury as the cost
of war passes all previous compu-
tations will cause novel or unusual
methods of raising the vast sums
OF money needed. Public-spirited
men and women of wealth will do
nate substantial contributions to
war funds, while Americans Of all
classes will make real sacrifices
cheerfully The month will be
marked by patriotic fervor pre-
viously limited, which will inspire
high endeayor as victory rolls ON
before the splendid forces OF the

he began to develop the bellicose
complex Standing up. before
bunch of Penn freshmen and max
ing them like economic geography
requires a certain degree of belli-
gerency and Leon soon became an
expert
All of which history is impor-
tant only for one reason: 1t illus
trates how the New Deal, Or at
least one OF the most important
men in it, gradually drifted into
one of the worst mistakes OF any
war period-bull-d doing the public
instead of playing up to American
patriotism.
AT any rate, by the time Gen.
Hugh johnson was frothing at the
American people and making his
Blue Eagle scream, Leon Hender-
son had come to Washington, and
much to the surprise of Old Iron
Pants, found that he could out
froth Johnson The general was SO
taken Auckland so delighted -
that anyone could use cavalry lam
guage approaching his own that he
hired Leon on the spot.
Somehow or other, Henderson
from that point on seemed to
have the idea that the way to get
along with people was to "crack
down" 1t was Gen. johnson who
invented both the "crack- down"
phrase and the breakdown tech
nique. But Henderson was an apt
pupil i
Partly it was a defense he had
worked up as result of his early
inferiority complex. But whatever
the reason, it was one very impor-
tant factor in Hendersons failure
as Price Administrator
History probably will show that
Leon was not at all the failure
irate congressman would have us
believe. In fact, I think Henderson
will go down as one of the out
standing men of this administra-
ton.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS: In many
branches of trade there will be the
usual January showdown but this
new year is to begin with great
promise to persons engaged in mer-
chandising. Farmers will prosper,
but storms will cause losses before
the end of the winter. Cattle nell
will profit and, with all who pro-
vide food for hungry world, will
make plenty of money. The cost OF
living will advance, despite Gov
eminent plans to prevent infla-
ton. Persons living on small in
comes and on average salaries will
face serious financial difficulties.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Sociolo-
gists who predict that women will
outnumber men SO greatly that a
large percentage of American girls

trologer declares. The seers fore
tell that although there may be a
decrease in the number of native
Americans, foreign-bo suitors for
young women of the United States

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Astrologers read an aspect which

make sudden attack from an
unexpected quarter AS Nazi for
tunes wane, remarkable endurance
and resourcefulness are to be con-
sidered in predicting the probable
end of the war After Germany is
defeated, what is practically
second war must be waged with
Japan, the seers forecast, and they
stress the fact that preparation
for the winning of Asia has been
made by the enemy for more than
two-score years. -
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of extra
ordinary changes, more or less for
tunate. They should guard against
fire and theft.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be highly intelligent and
able to do much with talents and
opportunities. Girls will benefit
through distant relatives.

Spain and the DemOcracies
New York Tines


The immediate question raised by General Fran
cos address to the Falange National Council is
whether a leader who associates himself whole
mindedy with the Nazi and Fascist revolutions
would remain neutral he could in the event that
the Germans demand passage through Spanish ter
rory The question is important because this event
lis nearer than it has been since hostites began.
The campaign in North Africa, moreover, brings
our armies SO close to Spanish Morocco and the
Spanish mainland that the attitude of Spain has
become of direct to the United States. In
developing a major front in the Mediterranean, the
plans of the Allied srategists must be affected by
their understanding of Frances meaning. In show
down will he fight for the European World" with
which he aligns himself the world that Hitler tried
to create with results that mock Frances words?
Or will he, as announced fortnight ago. take sides
against any beigerent that attacks Spanish soil?
The speech is clearly cheer-leader performance
the utterance of the head of the Falange rather
than statement of government policy AS far
the is concerned it contained nothing to sug
gest that Spain will deviate from the line she has
followed from the beginning II the Spaniards were
not bent on keeping out of the conflict they would
have been in long ago. and all that Franco says i'll
support of the Fascist struggle and the it
heralds does not alter the fact that the Spanish
people have not chosen and will not choose of their
own will to take any part in it.
Neither does it alter the fact that Franco is
not neutral in his ideas in his hopes and pur-
poses He is against what the democracies are
fighting for He pretends that fascism is mass
rebellion against the liberal prejudices' of the
nineteenth century He pretends that the only choice
for Spain and the world is between fascsm and
communism, and, having mpaed himself ON this
false dilemma, he insists that the other must
prevail
This is fantastic Interpretation of the up
heaval of our time. 1t is because there is third
alternative that the peoples of nearly every free
country in the world fighting today. 1t is be-
cause there is third alternative that Hitler
impose his totatarian rule the smallest Euro
pean state that has known what democracy is
There never time, indeed, when the faith of
democraces in themselves, in their capacity as free
people to outbuild, Outright and outive any other
system, was strong as it is today. In essence
this is for the third alternative and General
Franco is facing toward the past, is facing toward
defeat if he imagines that local victory can be
by the forces running counter to the aspirations
of the great masses of the peoples of the world.
