Fascist Franco
Washington Post)

There are two good simple reasons why the people of the United States should welcome popular uprising in Spain against the government ot Francisco Franco First that government is outright expression ot aggressive fascsn anthetical to every value of our democratic civilization Second, that government is actively funneling fascism into the Western Hemi- sphere serving as a direct ally and agent Of the beaten Nazis In this capacity it is menace to the essential hemspherca security of the United States
 In a speech delivered some time ago on the floor of the House Congressman John M. Coffee quoted remark once made by Hermann Goering that "Spaln is the key of two continents" Germany selzed thls key By virtue of it, Hitler outfanked France long before the Maginot Line was preached And by virtue of it his cohorts have been and are now nlItratlng into South America Our own Government has watch ed this from the beginning with complacency if not with actual acquiescence. We were parties to the infamous nonintervention agreement which enabled Germany and Italy, using Franco as thelr 1nStru- ment to destroy the Spanish Republic. If Candidate Dewey wants to attack Candidate Roosevelt for failing to prepare this country for war he can select no more vulnerable target than our policy toward span in the tragic years of 1886 and 1887 Sumner Welles himself called the cardinal bunder of the Roosevelt Administration. We saw peoples government at tackled by fascist dctators turned our heads the other way We did not even understand that the enemy was waging and winning the first battle in his war against ourselves.
 Congressmen Coffee has introduced resolution singularly undiplomatic and sngularly sensible It urges upon the President immediately breaking all diplomatic relations with the Nazi-Falangst Govern ment of Spain" and "the appointment of military commission which will be charged with the task of getting arms ammunition, and medical supplies" to the heroic Republicans of Spain when they strike again at the Franco dictatorship The people of Spain ignored and forsaken by the democracies in their time of crisis can scarcely be expected to rise again without assurance of assistance and encouragement.

 Conflicting planetary influences are strongly active today, which should be especially fortunate for United Nations Navies.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under the best possible direction of the stars today. It is a fortunate date for reunions with loved ones, and promises happy romance fol young girls. Letters may bring dis appointing news regarding business plans but good luck is indicated for those who change their positions.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Although there is a sign read as presaging delays in the absorption of workers who end employment in war indus tries, there is promise that efficient men and women will soon find satisfactory positions with good pay.
 NATIONAL SUES Worth while entertainment will be offered returning soldiers in postwar days according to astrologers. Aquarian influences will overcome the trend toward risque books and plays, cocktail parties and immodesty in feminine fashions.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Saturn eliminating at Dublin is adverse to government conditions. The Allies will hasten the most de- cisive victory over the Nazis, even though the enemy dare resort to desperate methods of warfare. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pro gress in civil or military matters. Too much ambition should be sup pressed.

PREDICTIONS

One radio commentator -columnist one of the many who make a speciality of dramatically intoned predictions the hopes that might come true and furnish ammunition for growing, predicted few months ago that the in Europe would be over by August 15.
 After August 15 had passed, the same com mentator predicted that the war would be over in September"
 Recently he explained that this prediction failed only because the British borne force could not hold its own at the Arnhem salient. Obviously such an explanation is all wet.
 No one can predict accurately when the war will end in Europe or in any theatre Anyone who takes any stock in such predictions is foolish Anyone who makes such predictions is damaging the American war effort because this is encouraging people to quit their war jobs to quit buying war bonds, to ease up in the pressure.
 General Eisenhower is credited with a statement that the war in Europe may well extend through the coming winter and longer.
 There is no question but what Germanys defeat is drawing near. However, the German leaders still
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-10-24

are optimistic about the whole thing The following statement by Dr. Ley, German Labor Minister, IS a recent appeal to the foreign workers in Germany following General Eisenhowers call to them to arise
 'The time has come when in a battle for it's very existence the Reich can brook no interference rom within or without The majority of the l2 million foreign workers know the value of the stakes for which we are fighting and would be the first to condemn us if we allowed a small clique of ir elements to sabotage efforts just they were nearing achievement"
 That part about how the Germans just nearing achievement" is puzzing. If the achievement is defeat of the German Army, it is understandable,

after a great U. s. general was killed, the other day, his will was probated and he left an estate of less than $2,500. He was It. Gen. eral Lesley McNair, killed in France. His son also was killed in action.
 General McNair was one of the geniuses of the U. s. Army. He was responsible for the organiza- ton and training of the ground troops now doing such magnifi- cent job in France. Yet, under the system prevailing in the U. s. Army and Navy he was paid only a meagre salary, scarcley enough to live on. It made it impossible for him to save anything.
 This points to the drastic need for higher salaries for American public servants today. It is one of the tragedies Of this era that few men of real ability can afford to remain in government service for very long on current government salaries, unless they are independ- ently wealthy McNair was not only a great general but a great patriot. He stayed on and made the finan- cial sacrifice, even before he made the supreme sacrifice.

Quezon, wife of the late President of the Philippines, is leaving Wash ington for California in order to find a place where she can live cheaper. Meanwhile, she has had slight tiff with new President Osmena, who replaced her husband. The tiff was over the question of a pension.
 President Osmena offered Mrs Quezon a pension of S1,000 a month, but pointed out that this was subject to approval by the Philippine Congress. If they did not vote it later, he said, it might be necessary for Mrs. Quezon to refund the money. However, Os- mena promised to do his best to get the pension voted.
 Mrs. Quezon, however, refused She said she could not afford to risk going into debt to the Philip pine government and having to pay the money back. So she has given up the ornate suite at the Shoreham Hotel, which she and her husband occupied as a second White House, and is leaving fol California
 President Osmena, mean while, joined General Macarthur in his triumphal entry into the Philippines.

EISENHOWER FREE TO CARRY ON

A group of U. s. Congressmen- both Republicans and Democrats who visited France recently were greatly impressed with one par ticular conversation they had with General Eisenhower
 The General said that if he ever wrote a book-though he has no intention of doing so-he would devote several chapters to the free-. dom of action which has been per mitted him in all matters.
 He said he feared that, with the approaching elections, he might be under pressure to do something or say something which would have a favorable effect on the elections from the Administrations point of view.
 But there have been a complete absence of such pressure, either regarding the making of statements which might have political effect, or the shaping of his military strategy. In other words, he has been permitted to run the Western European war both in name and in fact.
