the thoughtful student, a remarkable
similarity to the tactics of the Euro

Nor does the similarity disappear as
the study of our "Fuehrer's" progress
continues.
Having, by adoption of programs
similar in some degree to those long
advocated by the radical-socialist
groups, earned the expressed condem-
nation of the reactionary industrialist

lace, the "Fuehrer" now set about the
task of bringing into the fold" a
sufficient percentage of this element
to assure the continuation of his
plans. By political Vaccinations the
great labor organizations had been
divided upon non-political issue
leaving Nude Eel supporters strongly
predominant in both camps. NRA

BUILD CITY UNDERGROUND

In 1941 when large Russian indus
trial enterprises were being trans
planted to the Urals, party of 10000
workers arrived in Taghil to turn a
peacetime factory into military un-
dertaking The workers were given
10 days to build themselves city un-
derground. They finished it in eight
days, with barber shops, laundries,
bath houses, dining rooms, a poly
clinic, and club. Now, two years
old, Isai City, as it is now called, has
its own laws and customs. People
live in close quarters with only room
for a bed and chair apiece, yet the
health record is average and the

"FUEHRER TACTICS

With the creation of the AAA ant
the monetary payments derived there
from large percentage of the agri
cultural population of America haf
been consolidated behind the Nude
Eel program. Friendly overtures
made to organized labor by the adop
ton of the NRA had been similarly
successful in lining up high percent
age of the labor organizations in sup
port of the Nude Eel There remain
ed however a rather high percentage
of critical opposition still Outside the
Nude Eel fold" which must be
brought into camp" if the American
"Fuehrer" was to carry out his pur-
pose with minimum of difficulty.
This opposition consisted mainly of
"die-hard" republicans, to whom the
"Fuehrer" gave little consideration
since this opposition while highly vo-
ciferous had little to justify its noise"
if one considers the sorry mess that
their preceding administration had
made of the national economy.
The other opposition factor however
required a more serious consideration
for whereas the reactionary republi-
can element could lay little claim to
intelligent constructive effort, the
"left-wing" socialistic-radical group
had very definite and constructive
ideas upon the subject of economics
and not only knew where it wanted
to go but the sentiment it represented
pervade dto a great degree both labor
and farm organizations thus render
ing the "Fuehrer's" hold on those ele-
ments precarious in the extreme.
To reconcile these two groups or at
least large percentage of each to
the "Fuehrer's leadership required a |
feat of political "slack-wire" walking |
never before seen or recorded in his
tory and caused the early stages of
the Nude Eel program to resembel |
nothing so much as a political "fan-
dance" which consisted of one step to
the ''left" two steps to the fright"
and prodigious leap straight into
the air.
The "left wing" group consisting of
socialists" "bolshevics" and other
'radicals''~ have ceaselessly insisted
that property rights should be second
ary to human rights, that all natural
resources are and of right should be
the property of the entire popul ,tion,
that nation with it's institutions is
the property of the people who inhabit
it. When they grow weary of their |
existing government they may exer- 6
else their constitutional right to alter
or amend it or their revolutionary {
right to overthrow it." To pacify a
group holding these ideas and at the t
same time Convert" a sufficient num- 4

IS NATURALIZATION OF
INDUSTRY In PROSPECT?

Cool headed members of the s1ef
wing group" believe that transition
to socialist economy can be accom-
| plished peacefully by constitutional
methods and to that end have from
time to time proposed STEPS" il
| such a transition such as a bank de
posit guarantee law, a fed sral aboI
relation act, and measures similar tc
Idt more extensive than ths Nude
Eel social security measure.
AS previously stated the Nude EeTs
first gesture toward the left wing
group consisted of recognition of
Soviet Russia, move which brought
little opposition from the reactionary
republican element because of .le
trade advantages to be gained by
American industry by such step.
The adoption of bank guarantee law,
the social security act, the labor re-
lations act, farm security legislation,
| lief act, which provided portion of
the necessities of life for those who
found themselves facing the prospect
of starvation in the midst of plenty,
while they did much toward bringing
a large majority of the "left wingers"
into the Nude Eel camp, gave the
sdie-hard" republican reactionaries an
opportunity (of which they fastened
to avail themselves) of terming the
Nude Eel "SOCIALISTIC"

ground out nine to 12-mile
gains in the battle of Latvia,

east of Warsaw, and climbed

that in no case had these Nazi
efforts succeeded.
Thoroughly alarmed, the Ger
mans drafted every able-bodied
man and woman from Is to IS to
dig trenches against the imminent
entry of the Red army onto the
"holy'' soil of East Prussia.
1t was there, too, that they put
in the most frequent counterat-

Schirwindt and northwest of Mari

widening Latvian corridor that is
threatening Memelland.

IDLE STRIKERS
TOTAL $4,000
BY The Associated Press

Government intervention in the
strike of midwestern truck drivers
and helpers was expected as the
number of idle in that and other
labor disputes yesterday reached
a post invasion peak of more than
$4,000.
A source. close to the White
House indicated a solution had
been agreed upon, and there was
a strong hint truck lines would be
taken over by the Army or the
Office of Defense Transportation.
M. M. Krupinsky, chairman of
the truck operators association in
Nebraska, one of the eight states
affected by the controversy, said
he understood the ODT would as
sumo control of the struck lines
in the midcontinent area today.
Operators in Kansas City, Mo-,
also awaited Federal action.
Picketing was reported at North
Platte, Fremont and Blair, Neb.

at Omaha, asserted the tie-up OF
petroleum carriers threatened fuel
supplies for harvest tractors and
farm trucks. War Labor Board Of
ficials in the national capital de-
clared they were powerless to d.
rect the strikers to return to their
jobs because the operators were
ignoring WLB order for a wage
increase of seven cents an hour.
