"The government, through an over
all agency, not a co-ordinating one,
must allocate raw materials and pool
productive plants in all industries,
merge government and private banks
and credit agencies, into one govern
ment agency, and make distributive
enterprises, an agency of the govern
ment, and direct production and dis
tribution.
Labor and consumers should be
represented on advisory committees
of these government agencies.

is control-which includes the right
NOT to use, and a compensatory
economy and other forms of bribing
private owners to use, are futile.
Both corporate capitalization and

land it owns.

Asserting mo bill for conversion to
peace production seriously considered
by congress is more than flax-seed
poultice on an economic cancer" the
Peoples Lobby, Inc. through its exec
utive secretary, Benjamin c. Marsh,
has written the chairman of the three
senate committees handling such leg
islation, Walter F. George, Robert r.
Reynolds, and James E. Murray, de-
handing complete social control of
the productive extractive, distributive
and exchange facilities of the nation,
with ALLEGATION of pooled raw mate
rials.
The Lobby concludes:
I'm fairness, the government should
establish camps for financiers and in
dustrialists who are conscientious OBJ
jectors to this program to put post
war property on a parity with during
the-war fighters"
The letter reads in part:
Congress is not only too late ON
postwar industrial conversion, but is
now paying the penalty for having
permitted profiteering to run war pro-
duction
Our armed forces will pay
heavier penalty.
"A few months before his death,
VIM Allen White visited Washington,
and reported
ct is silly to say New Dealers
run this war show it's run largely
by absentee owners of amalgamated
industrial wealth, men who either di-
rectly or through their employers
control small minority blocks, closely
organized, that manipulate the phys
ical plants of these trusts.

LUCKY 1929"

The Schwartz Korps, organ of
Heinrich Himmler's SIS elite Guard)
recently lambasted Germans looking
for signs of peace by comparing Adolf
Htiler's career with that of Napoleon.
The Schwartz Korps seemed to OBJ
ject particularly to the suggestion
that, by comparison it said was
current among certain Germans, Hit
Ter is doomed to fall this year.
According to the Nazi paper, the
comparison is being made by mystical
Germans on this basis:
Napoleon was born in 1850" while
Hitler was born in 1SS9-a difference
of 129 years; the French Revolution
broke out in 1889, while Germany was
defeated the last time in 191S-an-
other difference of 129 years; Napo-
leon entered Vienna in 1904, while
Hitler seized power in 1933-129 years
later; the Napoleonic wars ended in
1915 The year 1914 is 129 years
later
In refutation of this comparison, the
Schwartz Korps pointed out that Ma
poleon was born in 1863, not 1850"

papers are printed under the title
"Front and Heimat' ("Front and
Homeland").
A recent Front and Heimat dispatch
declared, for example, that at would
be crime to deny that the situation
has become serious, very serious in
deed" but it appealed to the soldiers
to put forth greater individual eff
fort" 1t coupled this appeal with the
ASSERTION that anyone Sinking extra
duty deserved ito be shot"
The Army newspaper dispatch pro-
missed the soldiers that measures"
were being taken to stop the Allied
advance on all fronts, but it said that
it would take time to put these meas
ures" into effect
1--WE cannot and must not be sur
prised if in this unavoidable period
of transition, the enemy will score yet
more successes" the dispatch said.
1t added that nevertheless, "only
ninny would give himself up for lost"
The German soldier is also being
told that his interests and those of
the Nazi party are the same
Either we pursue this war to a
victorious end" DNB told the German
soldier this week, cor everything is
lost, not only for a certain class, for
example, leading National Socialists
but for all Germans, the worker as
