For some weeks now this series Of articles has appeared from time to tI.ae in your newspaper. We felt perIaps, that since ours is a product that enjoys worldwide distribution many of those who honor us contin. ualy by purchasing our brands might be interested in a type o! advertising that is quite off tht beaten road.
 Well, we have had a good average thus far Qknock wood), and we are leading up to something. Hundreds of letters have come to us from our readers gratifying letters, most of them. But, occasionally, in spite of our studied efforts to avoid con- troversy and disparagement, we do "come a cropper" once in a while. Whenever a fellow bursts out in print, he invites a rabbit punch on his occipital. So, we have received perhaps eight or ten highly-spiced, extremely pungent epistles-dress- ing us down unmercifully. All of these punishing letters-happily in the minority-followed the story about our friend, the Judge, who said he resented the implication, thai he is a partaker of "intoxitans- just because he enjoys highban -- a cocktail with his dinner.

Well, you good people who don't like us-we 6elieue in minority opin- ions and minority rights. Just so long as we have divergent opinions in this country, openly and honestly expressed just so long are we balanced and safe.
 We wouldn't have it any other way. If this writer were a Voltaire, he would put it this way, ''I do not agree with what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it!'
 When a nation has only one ruling opinion-one dictatorial voice-then farewell to the civilization we, of America, are determined to retain. When only one voice dares speak, the people are no longer articulate they speak only with a shrug of the shoulders bite of the lips =. a look in the eyes =.

The Manila Raid

| Russell Brines, an Associated Press Cores
pondent who was in Manila when the city
was taken by the Japanese and later their
prisoner, has pointed out two factors in the
thrilling raid on the Philippines capital by
American carrier-borne war planes which sum
up the situation, we think as APPLY, and in
one regard as distressingly, as could be done.
In an article distributed to member papers
yesterday by the APP, Mr.. Brines says: "Filipi-
nos had a box seat. No other captive SUBJ
jects have witnessed such tremendous loss
of Japanese face That in itself is sufficient
to make the Japanese brutal
What the Nipponese equivalent of the gesta-
pc will do, now that Tokyo knows recapture
Of the Philippines is inescapable can only
be imagined. The vision of their ruthlessness
upon the native population is not pleasant.
In the interest OF humanity it is vital that all
possible speed be put on to complete the job
so splendidly started by the Halsey-Mitscher
Third Fleet.
Mr. Brines believes that some Filipinos,
disillusioned by the first battle of the Philip
pines, began to doubt in the hopeless follow
ing years that the Americans had the will or
the power to return. If the Mindanoa attacks
filed to convince them ghostly memories must
now be erased. He holds however, that the
majority of Filipinos, even in the darkest
days, had faith that the Americans would
come back, a faith which has sustained their
broken, weary lives under the conquerors.
Their box seat at the American demon
stration Of air power has justified their faith
At the same time the raid has given birth
to great fear in the minds Of the japanese
which is evidenced by the prompt declaration
of martial law, under which 1.-The vicious gen.
darmerie, Japans military police, will tighten
their torture-ruled control over the people
arresting and tormentng suspects, watching
from suspicious eyes each act of the thousands
under their control They fear sabotage by
the long suffering natives and will not be
slow to punish in their own barbarous way,
any act which seems to suggest revenge on
them.
So, while we may be happy at news that
the day of reckoning for the Japanese in the
Philippines is nearer as result of the Ameri-
can raid we cannot escape pang for the
price the Filipinos must pay for it and pray
that the enemy may soon be driven from their
land.

Hitler breads Red Revenge

The view has been held in many quarters
for some time that Hitler would much rather
surrender to American and British forces than
to the Russians. Confirmation of this view
is forthcoming from competent source,
which adds material weight to proposition. The
source is General Sir Douglas Brownrigg,
whom we have often quoted in these columns
because of the keeness of his observations
Writing in the Christian Science Monitor,
Sir Douglas says, Hitler deliberately switch
ed all he thought he could spare to the north
ern Russian front because he dreaded to hear
the sound Of Russian boots on German SOIL"
And ne continues, obviously writing before
Hitler concentrated large force in
the Aachen area: He (Eitler) rushed every-
thlng in the West in order to keep the Rus
SLAMS distant from Berlin as long as possible"
This, Sir Douglas adds, shows where Hitlers
tears were centered in June. May they not
still be centered there? May he not prefer
the thought of Anglo-American forces being
first into Berlin, with their forgiving natures.
rather than the appearance of Russians at
the clty's western gates eager to avenge hor.
lioie crueltes perpetrated on their people
curing the past three years? F."
Time alone as he says, will show who gets
there first, 'but Hitlers dispositions give a
clear indication who would be the more un-
welcome arrival"
| Sir Douglas finds the stubborn fighting in
Italy hard nut to crack. in light of his general
argument however. This he writes, "does
not account for the retention of large Ger
man forces in Italy which were badly needed
to defend the Reich. :. can hardly think that
the forces der Field Marshal General Albert
Kessering were intended to act as detach-
ment with the object of immobilizing far great
er numbers of their enemies' He analyses
the continuing Italian campaign in this way:
He no longer is left there with any
strategic idea in view, but just because
ne cannot now get back, Marshal Kessel-
ring is another hostage to the Fuhrer's in
! ability to make his decision as to when
the time has come to quit.
We may conclude, it would appear, that
because Hitler is sorely beset from three direc-
tons and unable long to maintain successful
resistance in the West, the Eat and the
South, that his days Of power are numbered

fronts simultaneous. How much less may 8

The Satellites Peace

It is unlikely that the Nazi government will
get any wrong ideas from the lenient armls-
+ice terms given to Finland and Romanla
The drafters of these terms might have judged
that the chief sin Of the Finnish and Roma
MAN people was an excess Of discretion over
valor.
The governments of both countries have be-
haved reprehensibly. But an American
could at least understand the Finnish peo-
ple's predicament, even if he could not ex-
cuse their action. And he could understand
the Romanians' helplessness against gov
eminent which has long kept them poverty
ridden and all but voiceless
But the Nazis know that it is different with
them. The Germans were an educated, en-
lightened people They knew what was hap
penng But thousands of their soldiers stand
already convicted of barbarous crimes for
which no excuse of Ignorance can be offered.
Europe will remember German complacency
and German crime. And so surely will the

The Nazi government and the German peo-
pie know this. That's why they are still fight

Of delight, Miss Stafford seems
automatically to drop the word in
to its just and prope place. Most
consciously literary people don't do
that; they more often drop it into
the place they like best, which is
a very different thing indeed.
Anyway, Miss Stafford's first
novel is set of character studies,
in which the women are amazing
