been made of war industries in
Germany and her satellite coun-

Warning To Satellites

The urgent invitation from the United States,
Great Britain and Russia to Hitler's satellites
to get out Of the war was well-timed piece
of collaborative diplomacy. There is no ques-
ton that Finland, Hungary, Romania and Bull
garia can underestimate the strength and pur-
pose of that declaration.
These four nations know that the Allied
powers are perfectly aware of the measures
that Germany takes to keep a wavering satel-
lite in the fight But the time is past for any
sympathy toward government for betting on
the wrong horse. This is evident from the
fact that, though the United States is not at
war with Finland, nor Russia with Bulgaria,
the three-power declaration applied to all four
countries 1t is warning that the vassal gov
ernments must take their choice between Hit

The Name Unimportant

The Germans announce there is no such
thing as an Adolf Hitler line in Italy. 1t could
be true that the German defenses now under
attack do not bear the fuehrer's name on
Berlin military maps. But as Shakespeare dis.
covered, the name is not important. The de-
lenses do exist and Allied artillery, which
wrought such havoc on the Gustav line, is
already drawing a bead on them.
What is more, the Allied advance has been
so rapid that third line of defenses, nearer
Rome, Is also suffering heavy blows, even
while the second line is under assault

Dubious Honor

Union leaders are vying for the honor
OF being the first to break the governments
wage and price sterilization program wide
open and start another ainflationary spiral.
They have compiled statistics protesting to
show why the "soldiers of production must
have more money. They call strikes at the
drop OF hat. Disrupting war production is
their club. They get what they want or else.
The governments sterilization laws are cur
rent1y the subject of their wrath and everv
attempt will be made to smash those laws
Millions of Americans watch these union
abuses in helpless fury. Those in the armed
forces do not expect wage increases every
time the going gets harder. They are at war
and know it. Many more in civilian life do
not expect providence or labor union to
hand them more money to make up for rising
taxes and bond purchases and high prices.
Labor leaders should consider well and long
before they decide to smash by force the laws
designed to protect the nation from runaway
initiation. If the unions pit themselves against
the government as ruthlessly as they h4ve
against industries, public opinion may destroy
t,e ,nons.

Clothing For Russians

Postponement Of the collection of clothing
affords Wilningtonians additional time to
make contributions to this humanitarian pro-
ject.
The need is great. Hitler's invasion forces
haYe left the people of the steppes improvish-
ed and all but naked. Wearing apparel of all
kinds is needed. OF the 100000 men. women
and children in Russia at the time of the
Nazi invasion, fully 100000 were evacuated
east OF the battlelines. They were forced in
most cases to leave quickly with nothing
more than the raiment they wore. Of those
who remained fully 100000 are now dead
or enslaved. The others were subjected Ia
organized plumber and cruelty.
In one small district the Nazis stole 5.477
pairs OF felt boots, 2,439 wooden scarves II MN

among the British people, and they
look up these same friends on the
next trip to town.
They do a thousand and n {
things on their leave, and it does
them good. Also, it gradually
creates an understanding between
the two peoples that the other is
all right in his own peculiar way.
After a certain number of mis-
sions a crew is usually given two
weeks leave Most of them spend
it travelling. Our fliers often tour
Scotland on these leaves. It's
amazing the number of men who
have been to Edinburgh and who
love the place. They have visited
Wales and North Ireland and the
rugged southwestern coast, an
they know the Midlands and the
little towns of England.
These two-week leaves don't sub
stitute in the fliers' mind for a
trip back to America. That's all
they live for. That's what they
talk about most of the time.
A goal is what anyone overseas
needs definite time limit to
shoot for Naturally it isn't pos
sible right at this moment to send
many people home, and the filters
appreciate and accept that fact.
But once the invasion is made and
the first period of furious intensity
has passed, our veteran filters hope
to start going home in greater
numbers.

Daily Prayer
FOR MINIsTERING NURSES

AS devoted women ministered to
Christ when he was upon earth, sc
today a multitude of skilled and
faithful women are serving the
men who have gone forth to battle
in Thy name. We remember them
in our prayer, with thanksgiving.
For their courage and cheerfulness
and trained ability, we give Thee
sincere thanks. Our hearts are up
lifted by the knowledge of the
comfort and cheer they have
brought to our sick and wounded.
They have ministered as we would
minister, and they have brought
the gentle touch of womanhood to
our lonely sons. God be good to
them. Sustain their own spirits by
my heavenly grace. May they be
rewarded by the consciousness
that all they do and endure is as
unto Thee, o Christ, the best
friend OF womanhood. Amen-W
