Despite VOWS by politicos not to make the war a partisan issue, few will have the moral spunk to resist Che temptation to turn the war into Q demogoging spree America will always have subversive groups until we pass laws dealing severely with such outfits. Every loophole in eur laws should be turned into a moose for bush-lcague Hitlers Alleged pacifists plan another cam palgn to disarn America when the Axis Is just a bad memory. Amer aca has lost more ships. planes and tanks via disarmament, than thorugh enemy action The apathy of citizens Is Democracy's most crushing burden. It has often been said that poor leaders are elected by citizens who don't vote e. Cong. Dies will attempt to crash the headlines with so-called exposes designed to influence the election.

If Americans are politically hep, no lobbyist can ever push their legislator around. The voter is the most potent lobbyist Of all if hs takes an active interest in politics. We will have a better chance co build permanent peace If We keep the spotlight on the peace- makers. Cticanery works best in the daTk. It Is obvious that military plans must be secret. but diplomatic plans for peace must be made public No matter how many times are proved wrong |fhez sill never admit 1t.

Nations realize that their co-
 operation can win wars. yet they're leery about using that unity to avoid
 future wars We won't have
 world peace until we forget we be- long to different nations. creeds and
 races and remember We all belong

Germany has been the chief
beneficiary Of SPANS wolfram ex-
ports. The Allies have received
some wolfram from Spain, but they
are not as dependent upon that
source of supply as is Germany.
Official Washington Is taking the
position that SPANS shipments Of
wolfram to Germany help the Nazis
kill American soldiers and airmen.
Therefore, this government is in
sisting that Spain show evidence Of
its desire to maintain strict neu-
trality by suspending the export
OF wolfram to all foreign coun-
tries.
Washington and London also are

agents from that country; release
