QUIsLING

(The Christian Science Monitor)
 "Quisling Has Said" was the title of the Nazi puppets Mein Kampf written in 1940 and portraying him. self as the prophet of Norwegian destiny. What Quisling has said and written-in his intrigues with the Nazis is now claimed by the Norwegian court to reveal his full traitorous role.
 On trial for charges ranging from treason and murder to common theft, Vidkun Quisling is being faced with alleged correspondence be- tween him and Nazi chiefs, such as Hitler, Rosenberg, and Raeder, as well as by depositions taken from leading Nazi prisoners. That he aided the Nazis in invading his country and in their occupation has been beyond question, but these 1 documents are said to show that he plotted the invasion himself and urged it against Nazi preference for 8 neutral Scandinavia.
 The charge that he planned to make all Scandinavia a part of a Greater Germany recalls his warn- ing to the Swedes in 1941 that they were mistaken if they thought they could stay out of the new order sponsored by Germany, which he declared embraces 1000. 900 of the IT 100000 people of the North"
 Now the new order" is broken its master vanished, and it's puppet awaits final punishment in the pris- on where so many Norwegian patri- ots were mistreated during his at. tempted rule. The history that Quisling says will reveal him a; 1.-the savior of Norway may sound a warning to other would-be pup fpets. Seeking to turn his country's resources over to the Nazis, he succeeded only in uniting his coun- trymen against both himself anc the invaders.

Now however everybody appears to be for 1t. something has to be done for the islands soon, ana Osmena admits it. MacArthur, with his new duties in the Pacific also approves McNutt himself would be the logical man. He was tremendously popular when he was in that spot before He could propaply have 1t if he wanted it but it won't be the pleasant graceful job it before the war and the eventual ambassadorship that will result will be little beneath the government jobs McNutt holds.
 Other possibilities are Weldon Jones, assistant director of the Budget Bureau who formerly was auditor general of the islands and Wayne Coy mem- Der of the Filipino Rehabilitation Committee ana former assistant to the President.
 Sen Tydings has introduced bill which would lend the government there in lieu of pay ment for war damage but the bill is stuck in com mittee. Nothing has been done to pay for war dam ages other than that and the islanders think we should pay varying amounts rom na1 70 Diiiioh dollars immediately.
 Principal reason for the empty coffers is the dis appearance of tax sources The big sugar industries are said to be practically ali closed and there IS wide spread unemployment.
 Congress has done nothing to prepare for giving the islands their independence Something will have to be done about trade relations. This is the tssus
 most vtally affecting industry Under the D. s. there were no regular tariff barriers. imports to U. s from an independent Philippines republic have to pay such taxes, the principal industries there wont be worth nickel lot of 1t is U. s. capital which would have to be abandoned.

 After two such object lessons, what more is to be said?
 It isn't question of raw mate- rials as might have been argued century ago. Russia has far more abundant supply of raw ma terials than we. Tn fact we have given away our raw materials so lavishly that we may be rated among the have-not nations
 It isn't a question of population. Russia and China outnumber us by hundreds of millions. The Japanese empire potentially controlled far greater number of persons.
 The priceless ingredient in our case has been the incentive system that encourages everyone to do ms best, that gives adequate rewards to those who achieve, that holds out the lure of success to every ann hitious person.

to get information turned up with much dope either MacArthur kept a pretty firm hand on everything and all reports were made through him, so Truman sent McN,itt to do the job. He had been high com missioner of the Philippines and very well acquainted with the whole situation.
 Exactly what McNutt will tell the President isn't known yet. But he has said several times that he favors the immediate appointment of a high com- missioner Whoever gets the job would serve until July A. 1946-date on which the islands are to get their Independence and then become the first ann Dassador to the Philippine Commonwealth.
 Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes has had charge of Philippine affairs during the war.

Careful Driving Advised

The tragic accident that took the life of sxyear old David Kinney one of the nine children of Mr. and Mrs. John Kinney of the East End section again reminds us that the utmost caution must be taken to secure the safety of children.

The East End Community Club has already called a meeting look into the natter to protest speeding m their locality and other conditions conducive to accidents
 effort through the schools, the homes and the police department will do much to mitigate the dangers that face the small child in the street who is unable to judge for himself herself the wisdom and propriey of crossing the streets at any and all times The sympathy of all goes to the parents and family of young David Kin ney whose untmey death was one of those 1ataes we must strive to reduce in city streets. et

Frankly liked his little book because he told of the blessings that had come to him with reversal in his financial situation He told of the discoveres that he had made as the period of wild prosperity passed and the long months of depression set in He told of the farmers who had gone back to living on their farms instead of living off their farms He found that the quantity of money man had was not always good yard-stick to measure ms nappi- ness. . =

 The Russians may be the smartest of hoss traders on the higher levels but when the soldiers of the two armies really got together in Berlin the CTS took the Tovariches like the Tanks took the Remagen bridge. The Russians wanted the Ameri- cans wrist watches but at standard price of $45o apiece the Russians whose pockets seemed bursting with marks. not only paid gladly but got sore if CT wouldn't sell. So our guys were sending back to Paris and getting all the 30 and 40-doilar wrist watches from whole companies and selling them for anything p to e450 to the Russians Our Army finally had to stop 1t by official directives

WILDWOOD ORCHESTRA
Archibald Rutledge in The New

 York Times An orchestra with harps of gold Makes music in this forest old: I heard from dewy hill-hung mrs Dim melodies of dulcimers; The regal cardinals tall Carols a scarlet ma6rigal: The trumpets of the hidden stream Are silver horns heard in a dream; The winds soft wand of lyric fire Touches the copse into a choir; The vireo mid the bloomy sprays Fingers the flute Titania plays: Such melody, surpassing art. Brings deepest silence to my heart Then comes a quiet to the wood As if it uttered solitude. Demurely down the silent glade Shimmers the reticence of shade; Bright hauteurs virginally gleam From cloistered oaks, from soundless
 stream; .le A wild, forsaken beauty shines About the hushed momentous pines I did not dream that there could b' Such stiffness of felicity. The forest glimmers, mystic, mute A yelled enchantress. There's no lute No harp, no cymbal. and no singing Yet in my heart wild bells are ring
