Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-11-06

THE uppermost question in every American
i mind is, when will this war end?
This question, which expresses the fervent
American desire for its termination, does not
weaken our resolve that the war shall end
only with the defeat and disarmament of our
enemies and the complete collapse of their
fghting-will.
The renewed pledge made at Moscow that
there will be no separate peace, and no nego-
tiated surrenders by our enemies, may stiffen
the resistance of Germany and Japan by
their realization of the desperate terms and
punishments that lie ahead Of them.
But certainly this foreshadowed doom
must further increase the Encouragement
already expressed in Germany, and in some
degree in Japan.
No one can answer the question when
the war will end but we cannot keep it out
of our minds The British ambassador, Lord
Halifax. who has just returned to Washing
ton, said that the war in Europe has reached
the point "where anything may happen
GO FAR as Germany is concerned the break
y usually is seen as an army movement
overthrowing Hitler and the National Social
ist regime. This military revolt seems to be
the most probable one, and perhaps the only
one that could occur
At the end of last week Dutch officials
in London published German letter obtained
by their agents in Europe.
This letter which was addressed to some
confidential Nazi friend of the writer, stated
knowledge of an army conspiracy, headed by
the commander in chief, Field Marshal Will
helm Keitel, to set up a military dictatorship
and take Germany out Of the war Immediately.
The letter begins with the words Der
fuehrer is in danger" and it calls on its
recipient to join in taking extraordinary
means to increase its espionage and safety
measures to protect Hitler from betrayal.
IN JUDGING the Importance Of this letter
i everything depends upon its authenticity
and upon its author, his importance, his posi-
ton, and his ability to learn of such con-
spiracy and to evaluate its threat.
The writer is Eric Koch, gaueiter and adj
ministrative president of East Prussia. Nine

A NOW GET LOANS

To provide adequate financ-
ing to assure maximum produc-
ton of essential agricultural
commodities" the Department
of Agriculture has revived the
Regional Agriculture Credit cor
poration to make loans for pro-
duction of food for freedom
through USDA county wal
boards, it was announced by the
local board this week.
This program is not a sub
stitute for other sources at credit
nor is it intended to compete
with other lenders. It's purpose
is to supplement other sources
of credit where needed. Each
producer will be urged to obtain
his financial requirements, II
possible, from a production cred
it association, a bank or other
lender.
It is expected that all loans
made under the RAAC program
will be repaid, and the borrower
should show a reasonable prob
ability of successful production.
Security will be the crop or live
stock to be produced. The inter-
est rate will be five per cent. 1t
is not a program for refinancing
Indebtedness, for buying real es-
tate, or for making extensive
improvements.
The RAAC program was I'M
dertaken, not because of lack OF
credit in the county, but to make
credit available to every farmer
who can use it to increase his
production of vitality needed
food and fiber, who may not
now have an adequate source
of credit for such operations, it
was pointed out.
Anyone wishing to make ap-
%plication for this loan in Big
Horn county should apply at
Room 5 in the Big Horn county
bank building on Monday OF
Tuesday of any week after Feb
IS.

HOMES
So long as there are homes to
which men turn at close of day
So long as there are homes where
children are and women stay,
If faith and love and loyalty are
found across the stills,
A stricken nation can recover
from greviouS ills.
So long as there are homes where
fires burn and there is bread,
So long as there are homes where
lamps are lit and prayers are
said,
Though a people falter in dark
ness and nations grope,
With God himself back of these
little homes, we still have hope.

Q&M !

oCo4 S11.
Since needles have become so
hard to get some of us have
wondered how we are going to
be able to continue the extra
burden of sewing and mending
put upon US during war time.
I have had only a few needles
and none of them seemed to be
just the size I want, so when my
neighbor remarked that she did
MT have even a darning needle
and needed one badly, I decided
to search the house to see what
I could find.
I found a few pins and a
needle or two and then I hap
pened across my old pin cushion.
I cut it open and poured the
contents out on a paper. The
following is my find: two large
yarn needles that disappeared
about four years ago, one small
needle with a drill bit which be-
longed to my husband, eight
sewing machine needles and one
hundred f~ifty-seven needles OF
various sizes.
I believe almost every family
has a pin cushion. Some of the
old ones were the small red felt
tomatoes for the old sewing bas-
ket. Then there were the big
square ones, crazy patches OF
velvet, featherstitched together
filled with saw dust and suspen-
ded by a brass ring from a nail
or hook by the kitchen window.
This old everyday cushion at
our house had pins and needles
some threaded and ready for the
odd buttons that popped off be-
tween waShdays, Mons everyday
hat pins that went into the old
lop-brimmed panama she wore
to the garden, a string or two OF
safety-pins, and an old steel
knitting needle that Nom used
to clean the holes in the colan-
dar.
My MONS fancy dresser cush-
ion was a fat red satin heart
with hand painted violets. One
of my grandmothers had a pink
one with a handsome Irish lace
cover and the other grand
mother had a long blue velvet
one with a wide Lace fringe.
In these fancy cushions were
kept the long straight pins with
the black or white china heads,
the best hat pins and a brooch
or two. My mothers cushion
held her lovely pink cameo in a
yellow frame. Her mothers held
a plain gold oval broch with her
initials on the outside. It opened
and each half held a picture. My
fathers mother had one, an oval
with her mothers picture in
miniature.
If this brings to mind your old
pin cushion, tucked away in the
attic, get it out and see of your
war supply of needles isn't al
ready saved up for you as mine
was.

Now is the time to get your beet drill ready
as segmented seed has created more interest

assurance that adequate beet labor will be fur
nished for the coming crop. Position Of Wash

BUREAUCRATS:
Congress Compliments

The much-criticized home front
government bureaus were given
friendly pat on the back and virtu-
al clean bill of health when the house
appropriations committee approved
appropriations of So, ,939, AL ,5O4 for 18
civilian war agencies, including the
Office of Price Administration and
the Office of War Information.
In making public its highly COM
plimentary report on the work of
these agencies, the committee ad-
mitted that mistakes had been made
and will be made, but denounced
those who criticize without knowl-
edge of the tremendous burdens
thrown on agency heads and of the
great strides made in putting the
United States on war footing"
"The type of criticism that serves
only to create public distrust in the
agencies is not helpful to the war
effort" the committees report said.

MEDITERRANEAN:
Balkan, PO,Uder Keg

The summary closing and opening
of the Turko-Syrian frontier within
a 48-hour span by the Allied COM
mand had presaged new and impor-
tant military moves, as the Medi-
terranean area from Italy to the
Balkans had tensed for oncoming ac-
ton.
Increasing evidence that the Axis
much-vaunted Balkans bastion might
be a powder keg instead came in
the form of reports from Ankara that
Rumania had sounded out the AL
lies on armistice terms. From An
kara, too, came steadily mounting
proof of Turkeys closer friendship
with the United Nations. The ap-
pointment of Brig. Gen. Richard G.
Tindeu as American military at
tache in Ankara and the dispatch of
a contingent of Turkish fiiers to
America for special training were
significant steps in this direction.
Reports from Axis sources had re-
fected increasing official baffiement
over the Allies next moves. After
telling its listeners of "many land
ing craft concentrating from African
coasts toward Pantelleria and the
massing of million troops for an
Italian INVASION" the Rome radio
had broadcast a report that large
British forces were concentrating
along the southern frontier of Tur-
key"
Observers for months had known
that large numbers of Allied troops
had been training in Syria. Lying
in the eastern corner of the Mediter-
ranean, Syria offered an effective
base for operations against Crete,
the Italian-held Dodecanese islands,
Greece proper or other Axis points
in the Ra1kanS
