The Mask Drops

AS the hour nearS for great new
Allied invasions of Europe, the OPP
pressed peoples OF the occupied
lands are like so many time bombs
waiting to explode. not only against
Hitler but against his puppets as
well. If possible. therefore, he
must brighten them into passivity;
they must be cajoled and threatened
against offering any help to their
liberators; they must be made to
live in fear and trembling, i'm
modified by the thought of what
may befall them If they do anything
to let loose the full torrents of Ger
manic wrath.
So the Goebbels propagandists,
through their numerous puppet
outlets, have begun to strike curi-
Gus new note. Last fortnight. for
example. over the Paris radio, they
quoted Pierre Laval as saying, in
comment on invasion possibilities,
that "the German Army will not
tolerate disorders in France. I
warn Frenchmen against all unwise
acts that they might commit, be-
cause I fear-and this, translated,
means that I am certain-that the
measures to follow would be hard
and the retaliation cruel" And
only a few days ago, Quislingist
newspaper in Southeastern Norway
published an article whose author
painted dark picture of what the
NaziS would do in the event of an
Allied landing, declaring: do you
really believe they will just say
thank you and auf Wiedersehn and
leave the country decently? No.
Irrespective of our private opinion,
Germans, if forced to evacuate Nor
way, will certainly do as they did
in South Italy: Everything of value
for the attackers, from Notifications
to the smallest farms, will be sys-
tematically annihilated. I beg you
to observe that this isn't what the
enemy says about the Germans, but
what the Germans say themselves"
In other wordS-at least as far
as France and Norway are con-
cerned-the new Goebbels line, in
stead of painting the British and
Americans as wicked aggresSors,
seems to be designed to draw a terri
flying picture, of cold-blooded and
remorseleSs Germans resorting to
"cruel retaliation" and Systematic
humiliation" wherever the Allies
invade. The enemy thus openly
admits his own ruthlesSness, but
this is not so strange as 1t may
appear at first glance. For, having
failed dismally to make friends of
the peoples they have oppressed
and feeling events closing in on
them. the NaziS begin to find their
DISCUSSES useless now, and so the
mask drops and the hard face of
evil candidly emergeS. The devel-
opment is logical one. When all
his other weapons lose their eff
fectiveness, Hitler can be counted
upon to make the fullest possible
use of terror, without trying in any
way to hide it, He is that kind

case involving controversy between
an independent union and an AFL or
Clio union. the former, unrepre-
Sented on the board, is apt to have
unusual difficulty in securing a truly
impartial hearing. Whether this
actually is the case hardly seems
relevant. The point is that the skep-
ticism exists, just as it would exist,
for example, if Clio group, without
being represented on the board, were
required to submit to that agency
dispute with the AFL, which had
representation.
There is the further fact that the
contest between the two big labor
groups and the Independents has
been a bitter one. If the latter,
claiming to represent some 100000
workers, now feel that their Gov
eminent has taken sides against
them, it can hardly be said that
there is no apparent basis for their
apprehensions.

Although requested by the legislatures

stones for building toward the very
thing for which we hunger most.
There can be no doubt that the be-
ginning point in our building toward
this definite goal must be a simple
but adequate faith in God. We must
not only recognize that He is, and
believe in Him as the only true God:
we also must seek earnestly to know
His will for us and strive to obey that
will.
Worship. genuine worship, in spirit
and in truth is an invaluable source
Of contentment. The true worshiper
soon learns that in the fellowship Of
like-minded persons. within the quiet
OF the sanctuary, strength and peace
OF mind are to be found. 1t is there
that we not only share in common
devotion. but we drink deep of the
consciousness Of the Divine presence.
Indeed, those who have pursued their
search, and whose feet, through faith
and obedience, have walked the high
way of duty toward the land of life
and hope have learned that the chief
source of abiding happiness can be
found more quickly and surely in self
forgetfulness and in service to others.
Ours is, or can be, radiant day for
all those who have eyes to see beyond
the torn and bleeding surface to the
lasting and productive heart of life.
In spite Of the conflict and strain
which Cypress us, hope burns I'M
dimmed upon the altar within the
sanctuary of the Christian heart.
Beyond is something more than bit
terness and strife.
Contentment and peace are not
empty phrases; they are the choice
fruits of hard-won victories. They are
the glorious assets of the nobler form
of spiritual achievement. They are
the heritage of a noble discipleship.
They may be yours. If you will.
