Cantinflas means nothing to the vast

Just before he returned to his native
Mexico City, Cantinflas paid me visit,

deal about the young man.
Coming to America to make picture

WHERE WILL BROWDER AND
HILLMAN GO NOW?

In his announced final political speech
delivered from the White House Thurs
day night President Roosevelt made this
statement:
81 have never sought and ! do not well
come the support of any person or group
committed to Communism, or Fascism,
or any other idealogy which would un-
dermine the American system of gov
ernment or the American system of free
enterprise and private property"
This leaves such acknowledged Com
munist supporters such as Earl Browder,
twice favored by executive clemency in
recent months, and others like Sidney
Hillman out on a limb. Hillman Stoutly
denies any Communistic leanings, but he
still thinks we'll of the Russian idealogy
and the President in the same speech
made ii clear that it is RuSsia'S own
business as to what systems or idealogieS
she chooses to follow That, of course,
is quite patent But he did not advise
his listeners that clear-it-thrOugh Hill
man does desire very much to see Rus
sian idealogies transplanted TO America.
When the President emphasized "any
person or group he could not have aim
ed straighter at the out-and-out Com
munists over whom Browder is chieftaln.

Communist party, but all well Informed
people know each and every member of
the party did not become less the COM
munists by that edict
In fact, working as individuals, per
sons" as the President put it. Browder'S
followers are even a greater menace to
the security of the free American gov
ernment than when they could be identi-
fled as a party.
But the tenor of the Presidents talk
was to the effect that he does not con-
slider there are any communists in this
country. He could not have left such a
conclusion and be familiar with the
Dies committee reports or the records OF
a few expulsions of federal employees
marked red" by the committee on sub
versive activities.
The repudiation of the persons and
groups hardly could be considered con-
elusive and frank without producing bet
ter proof than generalities, or sugges-
tion that there are no Communists either
in the country or supporting his candi-

Allied tactics and strategy are de-

German resistance is swamped de-

General Dwight d. EiSenhower's

upset TIE Na1i plans by launching
a spirited winter campaign. espe-
cially once the Rhine is crossed.
Eisenhower's plan now-as for
months before D-Day-is to capture
the Ruhrland. thus tearing out
Germany's vital war production
facilities.
Hitle S strategy, as seen here, en-
braces these considerations:
Every year about 100000 Ger
mans reach military age. If casual
ties in the autumn battles can be
held to 100000. Germany would
have a net gain of 100000 men by
next spring.
During the winter many divi-
sions could be moved back and the
eastern front could be shortened.

Chief obstacles facing Allied ef-
forts multiplying the Nazi plans are
the fanatical resistance of the Ger
mans, the difficult supply problems
involved in arming. feeding. trans
porting and clothing two to three
million troops, and the weather,
which has been miserable most of
the time since D-Day.

NO ASYLUM
(Christian Science Monitor)

tChrlStldn Science MOnllOr)
Secretary Hull's reminder of the atti
tude of the United States toward war
criminals is at once an assurance and
a warning. 1t will reassure victims of
aggression that top Nazis are considered
war criminals by the United States and
will be treated as criminals rather than
as harmless lobbyists with a penchant
for wood chopping on comfortable es-
tate like Doorn 1t will help to stiffen
public opinion in all neutral countries
against the notion of offering asylum to
Nazis fleeing justice.
No neutral country, Mr.. Hull makes
clear, can do this without incurring the
costly i'll will of the United States for
long time to come.
An immediate response to his warning
came from Argentina, which had not
earlier made clear it's position toward
Nazi fugitives. This response however
has been rather showed under by the
Presidents blast against that country
for actions evidently calculated to dis
rupt Western Hemisphere unity. Until
Argentina's attitude toward the struggle
against Naziism becomes much clearer
it seems unlikely that much Importance
will be attached to her statement on war
criminals.
However, it would seem the height of
recklessness for any country to provide
asylum fer Nazis, because Mr. Hull's
warning, though it speaks officially only
for the United States, reflects a senti
ment which is very nearly world wide,
and which would doubtless ostracize any
government harboring fugitives recogniz-
ed as international criminals.

PRESIDENT SATISFIED WITH
AID TO CHINA, WHY?
CLOS Angeles Times)

The Presidents disclosure that the long
overland route to China which starts at
the Caspian Sea-presumably this is the
road through Sinkiang, though he did
not say so-haS been opened at last is
coupled with his declaration that the
amount of supplies reaching China is
satisfactory" The first part of the
statement is satisfactory enough, though
only a trickle of goods can possibly be
taken in through Sinkiang while what
China needs is a flood. But use of the
word satisfactory" in connection with
less than 10000 net tons a month which
can reach the Chinese over the Himalay
as seems peculiar.
1t is certainly not satisfactory to the
Chinese. nor to Gen. Claire Chennault,
who has been forced to abandon most of
his airfields to the advancing japanese.
If the President means it is the best that
can be done under existing circumstances,
he may be correct. But certainly it is not
satisfactory when compared with the
needs of the Chinese army, whose SOL
ders have died by the thousands because
they have been forced to oppose a we'll
armed enemy with virtually nothing but
their bare hands.
Air transport. which brings in 10000
tons a month"; has done wonders But
more than half the cargo is gasoline for
airplanes-a necessity. of course, and
very helpful to China. The fact remains
that the Chinese are not getting any
where near enough supplies to enable
them to defend themselves and until
they do, satisfactory is too strong a word.
Lavish" the word used by Prime Minis
ter Churchill recently. is still more of an
eXageration.

CAMPAIGN BOOMERANGS

In this presidential election the cleo
torate is not as much concerned as to
height and weight of candidates, or any
Individual peculiarity or eccentricity, as
they are in what the candidates represent
and in their proposed policies.
Nevertheless there is a tendency of
partisan speakers to stress the personal
side.
There also is much being said as to
qualifications and experience of the can
ddates, and this legitimate and logical
doctrine. However. when some of the
speakers refer to Dewey as having had
experience only in prosecuting racket
GERS and gangsters, they are placing
themselves right in the path of a boom
erang of their own throwing.
For while Dewey was prosecuting and
sending gangSters to prison, the new deal
administration was standing by watching
the rise in power three international
gangsters-Hitler, Mussolini and HirO-
hito.
Most of the gangsters Dewey went
after are out of circulation.
The fact that the war is going so well
now is a big factor in Mr.. Roosevelt's
favor-Nice President Henry A. Wallace.
The best way for this country to assure
itself the unending enmity of the people
of the devastated countries is to refuse
to help from our own storehouseS, which
