THE GOOD NEWS continues Il
pour out of Russia. with 100000 o.
Der Fuerher's first line troops fac
ing a trap. The Germans evidently
are beginning to realize that theii
troops are facing debacle of the
first magnitude, and Marshall VoT
Manstein has ordered series OF
counter attacks in the hope OF
holding up the Red stcamrOller
but so far they have proved futile
and what started out to be a re-
treat according to plan, has turned
into bloody rout with the Rus
slams Staying at least 5000 of the
Nazis in the last two days of COM
bat. The Berlin commentator, ac-
cOrding to recent press dispatch,
unknOwingly injected a humorous
note into his broadcast. when he
stated that Hitler. who had plan
ned a visit to the front lines to
inspect some of his Elite Guards,
had decided to stay at home be-
cause of the seriousness of the
situation. What laugh this must
have given the Russians, and the
other Allied powers, when the Ger
mans themselves admit that their
great leader who at the beginning
of the war told all and sundry that
he was putting ON his field uniform
and would keep it on until Ger
many had vanquished all enemies
and how the little miserable crea-
ture Dragged that he would never
leave his troops. no matter how
tough the going became. Well, The
worm has changed his tune, now,
because of the seriousness of the
situation, he is going to stay home.
Reports from usually reliable neu-
trail sources say that Mr.. Shickle-
gruber is unable to sleep at nights,
that he is losing weight, that he is
irritable and is extremely ner-
vOus at all times. In short Der
Fuerher is suffering from bad
attack of Stalinitis. he knows his
judge and jury are on the way
knitting deeper and deeper into Po-
land. edging closer and closer to
the Reich, and we predict that the
Russians, now knocking at the
very gates of Hitler's vaunted For
tress Europe, have not even yet
launched their greatest drive. but
are waiting on their Allies in the
West, then, they will pour into
Germany like the hordes of Attila
of old.

THERE ARE worse things than
initiation. One is government tyr
amy, which can occur when people
fear imitation more than they love
freedom. We have reached the point
in this country where fear of in
flation is tending to force us to-
ward tyranny. We may not be able
to avoid initiation. 1t is the price
of war. But we can avoid tyranny.
The present rebellion against sub
sides is an encouraging indication
that the American people prefer
to take their initiation straight.
Subsidies would open the door to
total government control of the
private citizen. The general at
titude toward subsidies was aptly
expressed by Fred II. Sexauer,
president of the Dairymens League
Association. when he
said: "The last bulwark of free
dom of our independent farmers
may fall if the plan of subsidy in
place of fair price now in process
of application is put over as per-
program. Subsidies are
used to bring about compliance by
with bureaucratic de-
mands. The broad powers placed
in the hands of more or less ir-
subordinates to write
-he conditions on which subsidy
payments will be made leads to the
to include restrictions
On individual activities and compel
in matters only dis
.antly relating to subsidies them ,
selves. Subsidies will not increase
to the extent that equiv
llent prices would"
