Democracy is not only the Amer

world way of life, or there will
be no life for anybody. We Will
have to return to the law OF the
jungle II We do not put into prac-
tice our preaching of democracy.
Our words must reduce them
selves to action. This is really
the test"
He was right. Democracy must
prevail IL the children OF the flu
ture are TO have their chance. We
are fighting now for that. We are
winning the fight overseas. but we
still have fight to win at home
to translate our ideals into action.
We can do so II we think less
of ourselves and more of those to
follow, IL we try to correct those
things in our society which we
condemn - prejudice, diserimina-
ton, group thinking. We give
the children of our nation the
right of way on our streets. Let
us give them the right of way in
our hearts by building for them a
brave new world of brotherhood
into which they may enter equip
ped to. In turn, build better
world for their children and their
children's children.

The Road to Damascus
BY RUTH TAYLOR

1y wv III IN AAJIk
Centuries ago proud, ambiti-
Gus man walked along the Da-
mascus Road. down that great
caravan trail which cut through
the Middle East like a brown rib
bon, winding over hills and down
into valleys, through desert land
into fertile GASES, on its way to
that walled city of antiquity, in
whose bazaars could be found
men from all the far places and
of all races.
That journey on the Damascus
Road marked a crucial date in
history for all of us, for it was on
that rober-menaced road that the
light came to Saul and changed
him into the Paul who gave his
life for the welfare of the world.
On that road there came upon him
the light that stripped him of
self-pride and hatred, to clothe
him in the robes of humility and
love.
We, as a nation, are today plod-
ding along the Road to Damascus.
AS we follow in SauIs footsteps,
let us also follow in Pauls. Let
us pray. too, to see the light at
all times and to follow where 1t
leads-the light of the spirit of
brotherhood, the light of the
spirit of devotion to what we know
to be the right.
We, as individuals, must today
more than ever, put away the
,self-will and personal ambition.
The supreme heroism will be cal
led from us before these coming
months are past. We cannot
meet the challenge of the times II
our interests are vested in our
selves alonG, If we are weighed
down under the burden of old
prejudices. hatreds and desires.
We, too. must see the light on the
road to Damascus and follow the
command of that other traveller
along the road who said:
Put on the whole armour of
God, that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil. For
The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1945-08-22

We cannot have such power and
hatred loose in the world, too, or
1t will surely become a Franken-
stein and destroy us all. Our So
cial forces must be developed.
Let us clean house now and do 1t
fast or we are doomed. We must
work hard for good will in post
war planning. Work for justice
and equality for all monkind. Elm
mate the INSCRIPTIONS or he will
surely eliminate us all. Let us con-
centrate on new and better ways
to understand and cooperate with
one another"

FRANCE PLANNING
new DAKAR BASES
De Gaulle Cabinet Orders
Building Of Huge Air,
Navy Base

PARIS, Feb. 13.-R-Construc-
ton of huge naval and air base
at Dakar in West Africa was
voted by the cabinet of the
de Gaulle government today, a
move which it announced would
eventually contribute to "collec-
tive security"
The Dakar project was adopted
on reports of the war, navy, air
and colonial ministers shortly
after Gen de Gaulle announced
he had been informed last night
by the American, British and
Russian ambassadors of the de-
cisions reached at the Big Three
Crimean conference.
There was no specific comment
from the government on the re
suits of the meeting of President
Roosevelt, Prime Minister Church
i'll and Premier Marshal Stain,
but an official spokesman OBJ
served that it was a forward
step for France to be given a
share in the occupation of Ger
many and place at the United
Nations conference to open April
Is at San Francisco.
1--WE are confronted with fat
acconpli,' he added, ''on sub
ject in which we are most essen
tial interested-the settlement OF
the future of Germany"
The governmental announce
ment of the plan for Dakar said
the naval aid base was aimed at
guaranteeing communications OF
the empire as well as contributing
to collective security. The en-
phasis it placed on the latter led
to speculation that France in
tends to make Dakar an inter
national base and perhaps put it
at the disposal of the United Ma
tons Security Council.
Dakar, at the Westermost point
of Africa, now has large Amer
lean naval base, established as
a result Of the agreement between
1t. Gen. Mark W. Clark and
Admiral Darlan after the North
African invasion. In the hands
of an aggressor nation it would
be threat to both North and
South America. nv

GERMANY FACING
BLOWS IN NORTH
Big Three Stress New
Direction For F uture
Assaults

LONDON, Feb. is. - (P) - The
German nation, pounded from the
east, west and south, had new
psychological weapon aimed at its
heart tonight-the first officially
uttered threat of new Allied blows
from the north.
Experienced London observers
held no doubt whatever that the
threat would be carried out. Proof
enough seemed to rest in the fact
that the Big Three Crimean com.
munique - obviously a carefully.
worded document - included the
word NORTH whereas the state
ment issued after the Tehran con-
ference spoke only of the other
points of the compass.
The only questions were which
of six possible avenues would be
followed and when. The consensus,
however, was the blow would come
soon.
The Nazis tried their best to keep
the new threat from the German
people. Neither press dispatches
nor the German home radio serv-
ice mentioned this section of the
Crimean communicate issued by
President Roosevelt, Prime Minis
ter Churchill and Premier Marshal
Stain.
But it was pounded home by doz
ems of Allied broadcasts beamec
directly into the Reich.
The most obvious avenue of at
tack from the north would be by
air and the Big Three left room fol-
this Interpretation. Almost equal
ly obvious would be continued
sweep by the Red Army along the
Baltic coast perhaps accompanied
by sea attacks by the sizeable So.

"On the contrary more men will

before. They ought to have and
use their ammunition on supplies
without fear of the men behind
the lines"
The Senate Military Commute
now is holding hearings on the
measure which passed the House
with Administration backing. One
farm organization spokesman gave
it qualified approval today, while
two others denounced it.

lean troops ripped two new gaps
in the Siegfried Line today anc
the Canadian First Army broke
out of the Reich Forest eastward
as the Allied drive toward the
Rhine gained ground at both ends
of 140-mile front despite five
German counterattacks.
The new American breaches in
the West Wall were made by
the Fifth and Both Divisions

as they drove two miles deep into
Germany within consolidated

troops hurled back three, German
counter-assaults as they fought
within four miles of Goch against
elements of seven crack German
divisions, including two Panze1
units, rushed in to guard the in

Enemy resistance was stiffen
ed everywhere in the Kleve area
as the Nazis fought to check the
advance of Montgomery's 15-mile
wide tank-led forces sweeping
through the northern bend of the
Rhine from its pivot on newly
won Gennep.
The extent of British gains
around Kleve, where 5000 pris-
oners have been taken in five
days, was temporarily cloaked
for security reasons, but front
reports said that the battle of
the Reich Forest definitely was
