Fellow citizens, we cannot escape
history" Lincoln's much quoted
sentence rings clear through the
ages. To those who wish to see how
war looked to Americans fighting
side by side nearly two hundred
years ago, turn to the history of
America in fact or in fiction. The
broadening of the American de-
mocracy is turbulent and exciting
reading. Here are just a few of the
books on this subject that are avail
able in your Washington County
Free Library.
The Heritage of America, by
Henry S. Commager and Allan New
ms, is the kind of book you'll want
to own. 1t is collection of docu-
ments that makes fascinating and
delightful reading, there being Sc
lections from Left Ericsson to Frank
lin d. Roosevelt almost eyewitness
accounts of history in the making.
No other book has traced the I'M
usual, the profile of American His
tory so discriminating
Hendricks BuIwark of the Repub-
lie is written for the layman and is
a survey of the history of the United
States Constitution. The material
is informative and vivid, because Of
the character sketches of jurists and
statesmen and of the authors adroit
use of the dramatics involved in the
debates and struggles of the times. 1t
is biography of the Constitution up
to 1860 with an outline of some of
the subsequent developments.
r. F. D., by Charles Allen Smart,
is after the same pattern as Tho
reau's walden" Mr.. Smart is an
ex-teacher and editor, who inherited
a farm in Ohio, and his book is the
result of the family's first year on
the farm. 1t is full of wisdom of the
sort that comes from satisfaction of
simple chores done.
America in biography presents so
many diverse characters that one
may follow at will From Columbus
through to present day statesmen
the biographies make impressive ar
ray. The history of America is writ
ten in the lives of her men, great and
small. Fortunately this form of lit
erature lends itself o specific tastes,
it may be written in the most
scholarly style and again in the hui
morous small talk of an observing
writer.
Those who like their history in
fictional books may start with Cliff
ford Dowdy's Candles Hundred.
Underwater Virginia in the early
eighteenth century is the setting.
It is written in popular style, the
hero being self-made man of great
wealth

Behind the
Battlefronts
To Prevent Imitation In France.

A program designed to prevent in
flation in France has been worked
out by Supreme Headquarters, AL
lied Expeditionary Forces, in CO.
operation with local French author
tiles, the War Department reports.
The programecalls for educating the
Allied troops as to the harmful eff
fects of carefree spending, prevent
ing unnecessary purchases of ci-
william goods which are rationed or
in short supply, controlling civilian
prices and wages, stimulating pro-
duction, establishing efficient distri-
button to civilians through rationing
and controlling black markets.

Mexico,s Yardstiok For Prices.

To assure consumer necessities in
the market at prices fair both to con-
sumner and producer, the Mexican
government maintains "Nacional
Distribuidora y Reguladora," which
completes with spectators and
forces them to regulate their prices,
according to information m d e
available by the Office of the Co.
ordinator of Inter-American Affairs.
The Mexican agency has set up
bakeries, food shops and milk sta
lions. This Mexican price control
system is in contrast with price con-
troll through maintenance of ceiling
prices in the United States.

Swedish View of Secret Weapon.

A Swedish newspaper recently ran
a cartoon showing Hitler in deep
conversation with Goering The
conversation, as reported to the Of
fee of War Information, quoted Hit
Ter as saying: 'Rocket-driven bombs
have existed before. Can we really
continue to call this weapon secret -
To which Goering replied: Natural
ly. Its secrecy lies in the fact that
no one, not even we, knows where it
will hit"

reclaim such areas, the Netherlands

power plant equipment in the United
States.

THE GERMANS ARE LICKED .

In military sense the with Germany already has been won At sea, land, in the air-the Nazis are defeated No possibility remains of recapture of the initiative so that the defensive which they are maintaining can be nothing but wasteful In the air the Nazi condition is worst Bombers thinning out rapidly and if in fighters the Germans are still strong these machines cannot do more than retard the pitless rain of destruction which is pouring through the roof of Hters fortress At the present rate of bombing the time will come in matter of status of swamp-men which in Hitler's vocabulary belongs the Russians The prospect is unacceptable And the Naz hierarchy must be aware of it. They too logical to be victims of the hallucinaton with which Goering charged the British after Dunkrk The British, he said were beaten and didn't know it. Nor can the militariss be under any illusions For it their teacher, Clausevtz, who said that the fact that combatant has go the defensive is in itself demonstration that his forces will be made quate for defense The Germans licked, and well they know it.
 Why, then, do they not throw up their hands? History shows that the German commander loses stomach for the sword when defeat is inevitable. He is anxious only to live and plan to fight another day when new organization has been built up As Tacus puts it. "The Princes fight for victory for the Prince his followers fight" Thus the maintenance of the wi-to-war on the part of the nation a whole flouts the German tradition. It used to be theory in accounting for this phenomenon, that the German command is sustained by the hope of an accident. An accident from it's standpoint would be breakup from personal political of the Big Three But it is guess that at least the Nazs have arrived at state of responsibility

There is no question that these two companies lead the field in production of synthetic textiles. and no question that the men they have lent to the Government are high class experts. But there is big question whether these men can act in the interest of the nation while still in the hire of companies which are concerned about their present and postwar position in the industry.
 Inventor Reborn claims there are new processes for high-tenacity rayon and has been clamoring to gst merely a pilot plant to test his theories. It now looks, after eighty trips to Washington, as though he might get one.
 NOTE - Meanwhile, the cotton bloc is beginning to revive its clamor to use cotton instead of rayon in tires.

WIPES RAYoN WOES

A hot row has been smouldering inside the War Production Board over high-tenacity rayon, which Rubber Director Bradley Dewey says is holding up production of synthetic tires.
 The rayon being produced under the WIPE program is inadequate both in quality and quantity. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Go. com plains it is not even usable, and is rejecting much of it for subsequent use in ladies handbags.
 Leading a crusade against the WIPES faltering rayon program IS a Czech-born U. s. citizen named Oscar Reborn, the man who first brought rayon to America. It was Reborn who taught the German l. G. Farben Company to make rayon twenty years ago, and he has also set up rayon plants all over the world.
 As. of last week, Reborn had made the trip from New York to Washington eighty times, trying to give WIPES high-tenacity rayon branch the benefit of his experience However, most of the $l-a-year men inside WIPES rayon division come from the rayon industry, and it is charged by some that they do not want new processes or new companies to take the war-boom business which they have allocated to their own companies.
 Government rayon contracts call for production at the rate of 200 million pounds annually by the end of this year Most of this rush business has been passed around to a few big firms, more than half going to Viscose Company of Am erica, and another large chunk to E. 1. du Pont de Nemours Go. Off, ficials of these two companies are among the key rayon men in the
