The Wilmington morning star., 1945-01-04
By KENNETH L. DIXON

IN BELGIUM, Jan. 1-(Delay-
ed -lR- Apart from the grim
reality of the thousands who have
persisted during this period, new
err has war been fought in a more
unreal atmosphere than in the
past fortnight along this fluid, en-
battled front.
1t has been weird-eacn scene,
every motion, has carried the
touch of eerie fantasy.
Fighting men became phantoms
in the fog shadowy forms that
filtered through dark recesses of
the deep forest. Winking out from
amidst the tall pines were small
fires which failed to dispel the
cold, deep gloom.
Unseen enemies fired unseen
bullets from some invisible posi-
ton. Amid strange noises like the
sound effects of some mammoth
theatrical production, each man S
world consisted of a few feet of
space On each side of him. Miles
behind the combat line, soldiers
often talked in whispers, seeking
to confine the sound of their voices
to the little fog bounded space in
which they stood.
At first, there was mud every
where in unreal proportions, even
for the battlefront. Then the ground
froze and there was ice and snow
and, unbelievable, even dust.
There was sleet, hail and
icicles. There was subzero tenn
perature. Each added to the night
marish fantasy.
Often there was blood on the
snow-red rivers springing from
hearts of the fallen, olive-drab
figures-cutting crimson channels
through the white drifts before fad
ing away.
They didn't seem real. The
broken bodies seemed more like
catchup bottles, modelled after the
human form and tipped over on
a white tablecloth.
When the mud froZe, it was so
cold that it began to dry on top.
Along the dirt roads, dust sud-
denly began to appear as the
traffic increased. 1t left the snow
streaked with dirt. Sometimes
when it began to snow again, the

For the first time since the SUN

cred events of the day on which

What they revealed pointed IN.
,nistakably to the close approach
of a major crisis in the fluid
battle. The time-lag device at AL
lied headquarters obviously was
defensive precaution. Its eli
naination no less marks step
in Allied transition from the de-
fensive to a full scale counter-oi-
fensive in the bulge theater.
Nazi accounts credit Patton with
having flung eight divisions into
action, half Of them armored and
half infantry.
Allied versions Of the counter
attack include significant indi-
cation that it is a developing pow
er drive against the already deep
)ly-dented south flank Of the Nazi
bulge into Belgium, aimed not
merely at cutting through it at
the Bastogne waistline narrows
but at ripping wide swath
through to a junction with the First
Army on the north flank.
The impression that Patton is
driving northeast as well as north
above Bastogne in the center sec
tor of his attack front comes from
reports that he is pushing up both
the Bastogne-Liege highway and
the Bastogne-Liege railroad which
swings well eastward Of the high

Detroit evening times., 1945-11-09

THE front page of the transatlantic
Il edition of The London Daily Mail
for Oct. II prominently displayed
picture of Grated automobiles being
loaded aboard ship at the London
Royal Albert Docks.
One crate, in process of being
hoisted into the hold of the waiting
vessel, is conspicuously labeled:
Britain delivers the goods"
Another in the near background
bears the caption:
"Made in England"
The text beneath the picture ex-
plains that this is the first postwar
shipment of British automobiles for
export to South Africa, asserting
further that;
Autos WH play an important
part in BRITAIN'S EXPORT
DRIVE.
"Already models haUe been de-
liUered to NeD Zealand and u. S. A.
in past weeks."
OBVIOUSLY, the British export
" drive" is we'll under way.
The frankly acknowledged pur
pose of that drive is to develop and
dominate and, if possible, MONOP-
OLLIE the export markets of the
world-not only for British automo-
biles, but for all industrial products
of British origin and manufacture.
The principal G o M P E TIT R

Britain Gets
The Jump OH Us

to the United States, American in
dustry is virtually STANDING
STILL in the matter of reconversion
from war to peace.
There has been a succession of
erippling strikes in our most vital
industries
There has been little recognition
by the American government of the
vital needs of American industry for
a federal system of taxation provid-
ing CENTIVE for production
rather than continuing the PUNI-
TIVE tactics of the New Deal era.
CONSEQUENTLY, American in
~ dustry is not only tagging behind
British industry in the world mar
kets but is failing utterly to supply
the essential needs of our own do
mestic markets.
While A erican industry Ian
guishes and American labor strikes
and American government dawdles,
the completed products of British
industry and labor are moving into
the dockyards and going out over the
seven seas and supplying the export
markets.
The made in England" label is
getting into the world markets
FIRST.
The British boast that Britain
delivers the goods" is being made
GOOD.
Meanwhile, we have the distress
ing and destructive spectacle Of
American management and labor at
war, and the companion spectacle of
American government draining the
lifeblood out of our own productive
system with punitive taxes, and the
incredibly stupid spectacle of Con-
gress considering gigantic loans (or
gifts) to Britain which will make our
major competitor the supreme ex-
porting nation of the postwar world.
Uncle Sam came to be called the
UNCLE SHYLOCK of the world
