Omens Of Nazi Crackup
Fail to impress Washington
BY PAUL MALLON

WA SIZING Feb. s.
w Widening cracks in Nazi
morale have inspired no expec-
tations within President Roose-
velt's high coterie that Germany
will blow up fast as she did last
time.
Mr.. Roosevelt himself was
realistic and serious about the
dangers of the attacks ahead, in
his private talk with the con-
gressional leaders. He was espe-
cially apprehensive about the
current German submarine cam
-paign,- the severity of which no
outsider can gauge because Of
fetal figures of current losses
are not announced.
While naval authorities are
constantly telling Congress the
menace is grave, one army gen.
eral has testified sinkings are
still running less than new ship
construction and. therefore, cam
not be considered in any way a
disastrous threat to our cause.
Russian authorities also say
their lend-lease shipments are
getting through well.
DUT Mr.. Roosevelt's disinclina-
- ton to place hopes in the
accommodating proofs OF Nazi
weakness reflects, in general,
the inside attitude of army, navy
and government. The state de-
partment has even professed
alarm at the wide popular feel
ing Of optimism, contending II Is
not justified.
The official position Is that,
while we are numerically SUI
perior in Africa, Hitler is en-
trenched so firmly on the con-
tinent we will have to go in and
drag him out like a craZed lion
from a den. Also, they contend
the Germans have held the Rus
SLAMS long enough to establish
defensive line west of Rostov
and Kharkov and thus save
themselves from a rout.
True, they say, the Germans
are notorious front runners ac-
customed to victories. They
broke last time within 80 days
after the peak of their effort.
1t was Aug. II, 1918, when
Pershing took formal command
of American fighters. and Octo-
Der s when the Germans first
asked terms of an armistice.
THE authorities here, however,
Il overwhelmingly doubt that
such history will be repeated in
view of the more stringent con-
trolls Hitler now exercises over
the people.
Apparently there is some fear
that the people might exag-
gerate any optimistic hopes and
relax their efforts, although,
logically, you would expect the
army of fully modified nation,
gathering for the kill, to re-
double its efforts at the scent
of final success.
TIVE news from Helsinki and
Il Ankara shows the Firms and
Turks scent it. Although Fin
land is Germany's ally, Presi-
dent Ryti has Let the news out
through Stockholm that he has
informed the Finnish parliament
the war is approaching a cul-
mination point" (climax) and he
expressed hopes the Allies will
understand Finland's position.
He is in a position 10 know,
rs are the Turks, who have ex-
cellent open avenues of Informal
ton into the Caucasus and the
Balkans. Through Turkey have
come reports that Hungary and
Rumania are asking return OF
some Of their soldiers for eco

To The Editor
THO THE EDITOR:

wv IftE ELL lOh.
Il Congressional and political
leaders should stop and think,
and remember Pearl Harbor, be-
fore they even consider moving
the Japs here. 1t is evident that
they have quickly forgotten Jap
trickery and cruelty and are
asking for another stab in the
back.
Scattering the Japs over the
country is only playing into
their plans and inviting invasion.
We ought TO know from costly
experience that most Of the Jap
anese are not to be trusted.
Congressional leaders tell us
that there is a labor shortage.
The labor situation could be
greatly helped if unnecessary
bureaucracieS. extra office and
rationing board help was cut,
and if union leaders would stop
making a political graft of the
labor situation.
There are too many extra
men in war plants putting in
their time and too many slow
ups.

very pleasant family reunion re-

Marie Adams, a niece and teacher
in the Durant Colored school.
Members of the family already at

and the singesr were two Negro

its crew off the Carolinas.
The destruction of the U-boat and
the capture of SO members of its

Farm Boy Helps
To Meet War
Time Goal

One example of how young Ne
gro farmers are increasing produc-
ton goals to meet wartime form
needs is Cosby Taborn, an active
member of the New Farmers OF
America, the national organiza-
ton of Negro boys enrolled in vo-
cational agriculture in the public
schools. Taborn lives in the Little
River community of Bahama, N.
G..
When he enrolled in vocational
agriculture his projects included one
acre of corn and one acre of to-
bacco. From these two projects he
realized enough money to purchase
a three weeks old pure-bred
Guernsey bull calf for $500. That
was thee years ago. To date this
bull has sired two hundred calves
and Cosby has received 1891 in SER
vice fees.
!. This year Taborn is a junior in
high school and has expanded his
agricultural projects from one acre
of corn and one acre of tobacco to
three acres of corn, three acres of
pasture, one acre of tobacco, one
half acre of victory garden, one
registered Guernsey bull for COM
munity service, and two registered
Guernsey calves. He expects to
realize enough from his project this
year to invest in War Bonds.
