that "the Japanese were forced to
attack the Americans at Pearl

Even President Risto Ryti

conclusion. Neither Premier
Edwin Linkomies nor Minister
of Finance Vaino Tanner was
expected to be a member of the
new cabinet. Tanner is believed
to be influenced to a high de-
gree by Marshal Baron Carl
Mannerheirn, and the Russians

unwilling to negotiate with
Linkomies.)

Mannerheim Line TO at least 81
miles, the Red army drove across

clamped tight blockade on Vii

The German Game
New York Times

Germany no longer has any hope of total victory
That apparent both in the strategy of her military
leaders and the of her propagandsts
She is fighting defensively every front and is not
likely to regain the initiative That is the meaning
of the withdrawal of Hitler's legions in the East
the desperate tactics of the Luftwaffe in the West
and of the changed tons of such periodicals as DR.
Goebbes Das Reich, which have switched from earlier
descriptions of the glorious New Order to attempts
to convince the German people that they are fighting
now for their very lives.
Hitler and his Nazis have lost the war, but
neither they nor the army ready yet to concede
defeat by agreeing to accept terms of unconditional
surrender. The reason is that they still nursing
hopes that the Grand Alliance of Russia, Great
Britain and the United States will disintegrae under
the pressure of political problems and differences,
and that they then negotiate compromise peace.
That is the hope that keeps Germany in the war and
everything that is done said to encourage that
belief prolongs the conflict and adds to the cost of
victory. Mutual suspicion between Russia and her
Western allies is the last straw at which the NaZ
leaders are graspng.
1t may be that there still in Berlin
who believe that the British, in the fifth year
of war, have grown weary of the STRIFE and would
welcome surcease from fighting But such belief
is false Ribbentrop's earlier conviction that
Great Britain would not go to when Poand's
integrity violated The British people are well
that anything but complete victory would mean
only temporary truce Still, the Germans cling
to the belief that the time is not ripe Tor negOtla-
ton it will come later
1t appears to be the belief of the Nazi propaganda
lists that the United States is too far removed from
the battlefront too soft and too preoccupied with its
struggle with Japan to care much whether the war
in Europe ends in complete victory or draw. They
counting upon heavy Allied casualties and stale
mate to enable them to stave off the complete
defeat that confronts them. From may
expect ntensificaton of political and diplomatic
efforts to drive the Allies apart toughenng of the
defenses of the Reich itself magnifcation of Allied
casualties in the West and a spate of propaganda
directed especially at this country.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed. 1t is
important at this stage of the when the war
to victory is in sight. that propaganda be per-
mitted to cause dissension among the Allies. 1t is
equally important that the time for the supreme
trial of strength draws there be minimizing
of the size of the task ahead. 1t will be bitter, it
will be costly and it may be long We must recognize
that and steel our hearts steel minds

Board Alaskas Edna Bay Spruce Logging Project
will probably be closed down this summer, and it looks
very much as if pressure interests from the Northwest
States are behind it.
Rep Fred Norman of Washington issued state
ment on the shutdown from the nations capital the

project which tended to betle the project as much
as possible instead giving credit where much credit
is due.
While figures not Immediately available con-
corning the investment they probably run into mil
lions of dollars Roads have been built, camps
established and much equipment and material secured
at great cost put the project into working shape
There is nothing wrong with the spruce. Manu-
facturers value the Alaska wood highly However,
apparently the War Production Board has decided to
close the project because there is enough spruce
available for present needs in the manufacture OF
airplanes very probable that spruce needed
for other things, also
Rep. Norman said that since the project started,
about 100000 board feet of timber have been
delivered to Puget Sound mills and two million feet
more have been feled
These figures are very inaccurate.

Norman issued his statement, figures showed:

Representative Sol Bloom of New

of the intense suffering in India as

Bloom called secret meeting of

reconsider the India question. At
this meeting, he was surprised to
discover that Representative James

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16
Benefic aspects dominate today.
Planetary influences stimulate men
tai processes and encourage sound
Judgment
HEART AND HOME: Natural
impulses conflict strangely under
wartime conditions. Women's urge
to work in industry should be bal
anced against the pull toward home
duties. 1t is a time for important
decisions.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This
month will see great desire on
the part of American businessmen
to know what system of life will
prevail when peace is attained. Dis
cussion of planned economics will
alarm and perplex employers and
employees alike.
NATIONAL is S UE S: Benefits
for disabled servicemen will be OF
growing public concern. Wise Sc
lection of just the right employment
must be assured. Although nothing
can fully compensate for handicaps
sustained in the war the seers de-
clare that the nation must provide
all possible rewards in the form OF
well-paying jobs.
INTERNATIONAL A FAIR S :
Subjugated peoples continue under
i'll omens They must undergo Sc
we're tribulations before their final
liberation.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
benefit in unexpected ways as the
year progresses. Happy homeward
voyages are indicated.
Children born on this day will
probably be extraordinary in char
acter and mentality. Success in an
artistic calling is attainable.
