 London, April g - (U.P) - The German radio said today that Adolf Hitler was in the main fighting line" in embattled Berlin.
 If Berlin and Prague are lost, the German broadcast said, "all Europe is lost"
 Therefore, Hitler has remained in Berlin" it said.
 He will stay there despite all rurnors. The main front line runs straight through Berlin and the newly established "Frickcorps - Adolf Hitler" is fighting with wo- men in its ranks"
 The broadcast was carried by a Hamburg station, one of the few in Germany still broadcasting under Nazi control. It said Hitler was de- termined that neither Berlin nor Prague should fall to "Bolshevism. J
 Allied circles doubted that Hitler still was in Berlin despite the prop! aganda broadcast. but recalled that neutral sources had reported the Fuehrer was contemplating death in battle at the head of a suicide bat talion.
 All other information indicated that HTitler was in Bavaria organ izing final stand in the Alpine re- doubt around Berchtesgaden. One report was that he had set up head quarters at Salzburg, just north oi Berchtesgaden.
 par1 I0conh Goahha1c Non; y@pox~ aganda minister and gauleiter of Berlin, was reported to have fled Berlin shortly afgter broadcasting Saturday night that he would re- main with the city's defenders to the end.
 In reporting that Hitler still was In the capital, the Hamburg com mentator said:
 '1n this hour of supreme test, we do not forget the principal guiding rules of Nazi policy. We remain faithful to our task of saving Europe from BolShevism.
 "1f the eenmy conquers Berlin and Prague, there is no longer any Europe. Therefore, the Fuehrer has rmained in Berlin right in the main defense line.
 "The Fuehrer has thrown in from Berlin all the 1ilitary power avail able to Germany so that 1t can be hurled at once against Bolshevism. ,
 The bulk of the remainder of the broadcast was inaudible, but the speaker began his talk with a ref erence to the climax of the mili- tary crisis of the German people.
 The speaker was not identified but veteran monitors believed he was pr. Otto Krieg, one of the Goebbels' chief radio spokesmen.
 ensational rumors were sweeping Europe in the wake of the Red army's entry into Berlin. One per- sistent report circulated in Stock holm that armistice negotiations were under way in the Nad capital
 A captured order of the day sign ed by Hitler revealed that he had told his forces on the shattered western front to abandon frontal attacks and resort to guerrilla war fare in an effort to prolong resist ance as long as possible. The Allied controlled Luxembourg radio said Goebbels. left Berlin for Mecklenburg, on the Baltic no miles northwest of the capital.

Peace Prayer Crusade Set

AS the entire nation watches with renewed hope the fast developments on the war front, crusade of peace prayer is being launched from Rosary Shrine, Summit, N. J., so that voctory will soon come with its full blessing of lasting peace. Nine days of special prayer beginning Friday 27 will be climaxed by a Public Pilgrimage to Our Lady's Rosary Shrine on the first Sunday of May.
 Rev. c. G. Moore, O. F., J. c. B.. Chaplain of the Monastery of Our Lady of the Rosary, is in charge of the prayer crusade and the Solemn May Pilgrimage which will be held under the patronage of the Queen of Peace" He invites every one to unite in the great prepara- tory Novena. Catholics are asked to say the rosary daily. The rosary with its meditations on the chief mysteries of the Redemption of Redemption of mankind by Christ, has ever been 8 decision, irresiSt- able. and therefore triumphant prayer It was the rosary that Our Lady recommended to Bernadette at Lourdes; and that same prayer she asked at Fatima a few days after Pope Benedict XIV issued his appeal for peace prayers in the third year of World War I. 'If my requests are heard, there will be peace" said the Lady of the Rosary to the shepherd children.
 Our Lady's protection for the safe return of loyal ones in service will be implored throughout the prayer crusade. The rosary is said for them throughout the day and night at Rosary Shrine, as two by two the Cloistered Nuns keep prayerful vigil in their Alteration Chapel. All intentions recommeded vii be placed on the Rosary altar within the cloister during the novena.
 Details of the Solemn Pilgrimage to be held at S:30 p. m.. Sunday May 6 will be announced later.

WHAT OF THE wages of the future? This ques- W tion is bound to come up in any discussion of postwar planning
 On this, our attitude is clear. No wages are high that are earned Fifty dollars day esrrsd is none too high. But dollar day a"ea'nsd is much too high.
 M0re Pr0ductlye MethodS Wages are part of the product. They are not the result of the employers generosity, nor the employees ability to bring pressure to bear.
 American Industry has continuously developed methods whereby man receives more pay for fewer hours but still increases production. And % it will continue to be.
 But wages are only one of Industry problems. 4 Batter World MNst C0me Millions of young men and women have been withdrawn from their homes and careers. Busi- ness is shorthanded. Many industries have been seriously disrupted. Public debt and the casualty lists mount higher every hour.

Behind the Iron Curtain

IL cannot forecast to you the ac-
tion of Russia.
III is riddle Wrapped in nys-
terry inside an enigma"
When Communist Russia was her
self attacked and invaded by Nazi
Germany in 1941, and thus made an
ally of Britain. Mr., Churchill wei
coined the alliance, but frankly said:
"The Nazi regims>is lNDISTiN-
GUISHABLE from the Worst fea-
tures of communism.
at is deUoid OF all principle er-
cept appetite and racial domination.
at excels in all forms of human
u0ickedness, in the efficiency of its
cruel and ferocious aggression -.
"No one has been a more con-
sistent opponent of communism than
I haze for the last 25 years.
81 wiU UNSAY NO WORDS
that | haze spoken about it.
AS result of Russian dominance
in Europe, he warns, democracy is
on trial as neUer before, and we must
uphold it as in the dark days of
I94O-4I."
WHATEVER the necessities and
W virtues of the wartime alliance
between the democratic nations and
Communist Russia may have been,
he urges
at would be Wrong to conceal
the possible divergence of Uiew
Dhich inevitably exists among the
victors about the state of affairs in
middle and eastern Europe"
Tragedy on a prodigious scale is
surely unfolding behind the Commu
mist IRON CURTAIN in Europe.
1t is already a EUROPEAN
TRAGEDY of enormous proper
tions.
It is potentially and imminently
a WORLD TRAGEDY of incalcu-
liable proportions. T.
Mr.. Churchill may be doing Eng
land an even better service as minor
ity leader than as prime minister.
He is surely doing the WORLD
better service and a most essential
and indispensab BILE service, especially
the DEMOCRATIC portion of the
civilized world.

THE first major speech by former
l. Prime Minister Winston Church
i'll as minority leader of the British
House of Commons was an honest
and frank effort, as he said, to look
behind the Iron curtain" of com
munistic enterprise in Europe-and
to see the "prodigious TRACE edy'
lurking and unfolding there. .T
almost Everywhere, said Mr..
Churchill, Communist forces haze
obtained or are in progress OF obtain
ing dictatoridi poUers -.
at is not impossible that TRAG-
EDY ON A PRODIGIOUS SCALE
is unfolding itself behind an iron
curtain which at present divides
Europe in tLOain."
One of the fruitful results of the
recent elections in Great Britain,
which retired the Churchill govern
ment and elevated the Socialist ad-
ministration of Clement Attlee to
power, was that Mr.. Churchill was
made free to speak his true mind
about communism in Europe.
Apparently the more than five
years of British wartime alliance
with Communist Russia have not
CHANGED Mr.. Churchill's s mind
materially.
IN A MAGAZINE article written
l. shortly before the outbreak of the
European war in 1889 and published
in the United States, Mr.. Churchill
was quoted as speaking of Russia as
ga poisoned Russia, an infected Rus
sio, a plague bearing Russia,
Russia of armed hordes . and polit-
icaI doctrines Uhich destroyed the
health and soul OF nations"
After Britain had been at war a
month in 1889, in behalf of Poland
which had been simultaneously in
vaded and ravished by Nazi Germany
and Communist Russia, Mr.. Church
i'll said:
eve could haze pished that the
Russian armies should be standing
on their present line as the friends
and allies OF Poland, instead OF as
Invaders ..

4 Lesson Learned
EDITORS NOTE-The following excerpt is re-
printed from, the 18th annual report OF the DoU
Chemical Co. of Midland, Mich. Type Uarations, used
for emphasis ouDn:

ESS than four years ago the American people were
IL given lesson which they should never forget
1T Is SIMPLY THAT TO THE EXTENT THAT
ANY NATION LACKS SELF-SUFFICIENCY IN BASIC
RAW AND INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS. TO THE
SAME EXTENT is SHE VULNERABLE TO ATTACK
IN TINE OF
Rubber of course is the outstanding example Of this
principle Our dependence upon foreign sources OF raw
rubber hampered ability to wage war and disrupted
to no small degree civilian life
Only the rapid development of an entirely new in
dustry-the synthetic rubber indusry-saved this coun-
try from military and industrial impotency that might
have prolonged the war by years.
WE, AS A NATION, ARE TO-DAY MORE SELF
SUFFICIENT THAN AT ANY TIME IN OUR HISTORY.
The accomplishments of the last few years proof
in themselves of the divershcation which is possible
through the science of chemistry.
We have that through it nearly all the needs Of
man can be supplied from only handful Of basic re-
sources such coal petroleum water and air.
We have learned that through chemistry merely
few basic resources be converted into vast number
of industrial materials and that agricultural products
materials for chemistry have only just crossed the
threshold into the realm of their potential possibilities.
We should make it our job to preserve and protect
this independence have gained, for only in this way
we do part most efficiently in helping to maintain
peace and to provide employment for our people.
We only beginning to realize the opportunities
which chemistry and science opening up to for
raising standards of living and aboshing disease
During the many billions of dollars worth of in
dustral facilities and equipment have been constructed,
much of which, if we have healthy market here at home
be put to work in meeting the demands for new
products and materials
1t would be folly, indeed if after the should
surrender economic independence and place obstacles
in the way of producing materials and goods domestcaly
in order to build up artificial system for world trade
THIS NATION WOULD BE GRIEVOUSLY ILL
ADVISED IF IT ENTERED INTO ANY GRANDIOSE
SCHEMES TO FOSTER WORLD TRADE AT THE EX-
PENSE OF OUR OWN ECONOMIC AND MILITARY
SECURITY.
THE BEST WAY TO PROVIDE JOBS Is TO PRO-
DUCE HERE AT HOME AS GREAT A PORTION OF
OUR NEEDS AS POSSIBLE.
Let not, therefore, try to turn backward the
wheels of scientific progress but let forward
through chemistry toward a broader economic system
which will provide maximum opportunity for the people
of country

a short time ago hundreds OF

10 learn there was such thing
as viviSection. To me, a dog

TO mans best friend is almost

law and trying TO abolish this
savage treatment of dogs. l
then tried 10 do my small part
by getting dog lovers TO send in
kilograms 10 the persons you
had specified. But, l see, 1t was
no use.

again appeared an article about
the. tortures these animals must
endure. / am fully aware that
