The Nozis Go Underground
By Curt Rtess. Doubleday.
DOrdn.)

Mr.. Riess, former Berlin news
paper reporter and editor, Is . sort
Of one-man anti-Nazi propaganda
mill. In the last three years he has
written 16 anti-Nazi books, In addi-
ton to hundreds of magazine
articles In similar vein. At present,
according to q recent Associated
Press story, he is preparing three
more anti-Nazi books.
That sounds impressive at first.
But when you think 1t over YOU
realize that no man can ;do that
much work In 50 short q time and
do it well. And that's the trouble
with Mr.. Riess' current book-it's q
"quickie," as they say in literary
circles. and the haste shows through,
The gist of 1t Is that the Nazis
realized long ago that they could
not win the war and began to plan
for defeat. The plan Is for tho
Nazis to 60 underground, not only
In Germany but throughout the
world, and prepare for the next war
Or rather, for round 3 of the war
begun in 1914.
MIR. Riess, for this reviewers
money, is probably right. But his
arguments are not too well thought
out. and he weakens them by con-
fusing personal opinions and un.
confirmed reports with established
facts.
Nevertheless he contributes to a
better understanding of the. Nazis
by making it clear that Germans
are fncurably German, whether they
call themselves Nazis or ANYTHING
else. Many Americans are In dam
ger OF forgetting that. They
shouldn't, Of course. And IL theyil
read The Nazis Go Underground"
especially the chapter entitled "If
I Were q Nazi Assigned to the
U. s. A.'-they won't.

Macarthur and the Wa,
Against Japan

In This small volume, Frazier
Hunt, veteran war correspondent,
undertakes to do two things. He
analyzes the campaigns fought by
Gen. Macarthur from the attack on
the Philippines up through the con-
quest Of Bismark Sea. And he holds
up to the public view what is, to
his mind, the shameful treatment
which the general has received from
Washington. In his view. the two
matters are inseparable for, as he
points out, the entire strategy of
MacArthur's fighting has been de-
termined by lacks. AS he para
phrases Mr.. Churchill, never did 50
little have to do 50 much. And
Mr.. Hunt charges this condition
fatty to political jealousy in WASH
ington. The claim that the sub
marine menace made it impossible
to send relief to the Philippines he
simply scouts. Conveys bound for
Murmansk, North Russia, lost up
to 30 per cent Of their ships" he
declares. yet they continued to
be sent"
Analyzing MacArthur's successive
shoestring assaults on Japan's bases
on New Guinea, New Britain and
New Ireland, he writes with an en-
thusiasm which knows no bounds.
And whether one accept his edi-
torial position or not, one must ad-
init that he has presented a very
clear picture of the Pacific fighting
as q whole. BY adopting q simple
method Of exposition, and by Illus
trating his pages with easily un-
derstood maps, he has made it pos
sible for reader with no military
knowledge to understand just what
our forces were up against and how
they managed to triumph. He also
provides an impressive measure
ment OF the area which Gen. Mac
Arthur has won from Japan, BY
superimposing q. map Of the United
States on the Pacific war zone, he
demonstrates that the shoestring
campaigns have cleared the enemy
from a space considerably larger
than half our domestic territory.
In q foreword signed by Gen. C..
A. W1loughby, chief Of military in
telligence, Pacific Area, is the state
ment that Mr.. Hunts analyses of
the campaigns are accurate and
that his personal viewpoint, though
frank and rugged, is sincere"

Frank.
He recommends, for his part, that
Jews aim at the uneqllivocal de-

IN A SPEECH delivered in ST.
Paul, Mimi, on April is. 1922,
Franklin ID. Roosevelt said:
There will he many in this ma
ton during the coming months
who will implore you NOT to swap
horses crossing a stream there will
be others who will laughingly tell
you that the appeal should have
been worded, DO not swap tObOg-
gans while you are sliding down
hill But it seems to me that the
more truthful. the more accurate
plea to the people of the nation
should he this: If the old car. in
spite of frequent emergency re-
pairs. has been humping along
downhill on only two cylinders for
three long years. it is time to get
another car that will star uphill on
all four"
This speech has been preserved
for posterity in public Papers and
Addresses of Franklin d. RoOse-
velt." Vol. l. pages 63S-639.

warns people against consulting

are ineffective-and may be dam
gerous.
X-ray, radium and surgery are
the three accepted ways of treat

gerous but not contagious.
The high death rate from can

IN 1892 Franklin d. Roosevelt
was the candidate of the Demo
cratic Party for first term as
President on a platform pledging
IAN immediate and drastic reduc-
tion of governmental expenditures
by abolishing useless commissions
and offices, consolidating depart
ments and bureaus and eliminat-
ing extravaganza to accomplish a
saving of not less than 25 per cent
in the cost of Federal Govern
ment."
In a campaign speech delivered
in Pittsburgh. Pa. on October 10,
1892, Candidate Roosevelt gave
this warning:
"The credit of the family de-
pends chiefly on whether that
family is living within its in
come, and that is equally true of
the nation. If the nation is liv-
ing within it's income, its credit
is good. If. in some crisis. it
lives beyond its income for a
year or two it can usually bor-
row temporarily at reasonable
rates. But if. like a spendthrift,
it throws discretion to the winds
and is willing to make no sacri-
fees at all in spending, if it eX-
tends it's taxing to the limit of
the peoples pawer to pay and
continues to pile up deficits, then
it is on the road to bankruptcy"
Despite this warning-and the
pledge Il am going to be honest at
all times with the people of the
country" given by President Roos-
evelt in a radio address May Z.
1933-the New Deal launched its
"spend and spend and elect and
elect" program. The spending
spree continued for ten years be-
fore Pearl Harbor, piling up ten
successive annual deficits in the
Federal treasury.
Voters and taxpayers of the ma
tion, who still place reliance on
the old-fashione9 virtues of thrift
honesty and integrity. will draw
their own conclusions.

miles down the wrong road. The
choice in November will determine
whether we shall keep going down
that wrong road or retrace our
steps and get back on the right
road.
Certainly the time has arrived
for clear thinking on the part of
Delawareans. The issues are not
foreign policy-for all parties are
in agreement that the war must be
fought to a victorious conclusion
and that a just and lasting peace
must be the final outcome. DOmes-
tic issues confront us that must be

to fOist their ideas upon us under
the guise of war necessity. Whe-

IN COMING MONTHS you are
going to hear much about the -four
freedoms" that the New Dealers
tell us we are fighting for and
which, presumably. we are going TO
give to all nations of the world
free of charge.
The -four freedoms" have their
appeal to liberty-loving and ideal
istic Americans but some foreign
ers seem to be bit skeptical about
the prospect. A Chinese philosO-
pher, DR.. Lin Yutang, is not at all
enthused, and perhaps his COM
ments on the subject should he Civ
EN- some consideration. For further
reference you might paste the fol-
lowing remarks by DR.. Lin in your
scrap book:
1.-TWO of the four freedoms are
not freedoms at all. Freedom from
fear is not freedom. but political
security. Freedom from want is
not freedom, but economic secm-
ity. Both may he achieved at the
cost of human freedom. and prob
ably will. if we think too much
about animal security.
Nothing gives such Il feeling of
perfect freedom from want and
fear to a dog as collar around its
neck. Its next meal is guaranteed
A bird in a cage has exchanged its
freedom on the wing for freedom
from the preying hawk and freedom
from starvation in the snow. But a
bird which deliberately flies into
cage cannot he said to he fighting
for its freedom except by the most
caustic casuistry.
I'VE may, if We like, easily add a
few more freedoms. like freedom
from disease which is health. and
freedom from dirt which is clean
liness, and freedom from the tele-
phone which is peace and rest
nd infinitum.
And so when we speak of free
lOm we must stick to the original
meaning OF the term, just plain
good old freedom human freedom.
