The Ger- man war machine is utterly dependent upon an un- interrupted supply of Swedish ore, and the Allies know it. About two-thirds of the German traffic has traveled by short rail haul to Narvik, in Nor- | way, which has ey port facilities and is i free all the year round; from Narvik five or six ships a week have sailed down the Norwegian coast- line within the three-mile limit, and have found safe havens in Germany, The other third of Ger-| many’s ore imports has gone by the longer rail route to the inferior Swedish ports of Lulea, on the Gulf | of Bothnia, and Oxeloesund, south of Stockholm.

Consciously or not these men are furthering the Nazi objective which was to sow dissension in the United States It is significant that Representative Fish Senator Reynolds, two of the noisiest isoiationist advocates in Congress, give enough credence to the allegations of the Nazi safe-crackers to investigate them Representative and Fish whose flag waving nation- |alism has become a picturesque part of the Ameri- can scene did a little diplomatic talking on his own last summer, He visited Germany and tried to bring about a one-man peace settlement. He found the Nazis pretty fine fellows. They liked him, too. He became so chummy that Nazi Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop loaned Fish his private plane in which to fly from Salzburg to Oslo. Now, of course, Fish just cannot believe that his friends could tell a lie Senator Reynolds has always been interested n Fascism as a form of government. He publishes a monthly tabloid that would be acceptable to Dr Goebbels' office. The North Carolina Senator finds that the tenor of these documents is “suspiciously like” that of Minister Cromwell’'s Toronto speech “Americans mothers,”™ he shouted in the best latform manner, “are more concerned whether their will be sent to bleed and die to save the British The British are sending more than a Frenchmen to die for the Empire son; E mi pire, lion young All of speeches that even Hitler have been months The American public will not be taken in by which moves these Congressmen. They ake to the devices of the German propaganda ry and the word of their representatives abroad more weight than any of Dr. Goebbels' clever which sounds ‘“suspiciously like” the Field Marshal Goering, Goebbels and making for the last seven the arc arm (Philadelphia. Record) “War is the blessing of God and an eternal fount from which new generations of men are born War is not a contrast to peace, but simply another form of expression of the uninterrupted battle be- tween nations and men. It is an expression of the highest and best manhood.” These quotations do not come from an inmate of an asylum. They are not a translation from some heathen or barbaric ritual. No, this concept of war is that of Robert Le Nazi boss of the German “Labor Front,” and it ap- peared in Der Angriff this week. No doubt it will be consoling to the kin of Ger- man soldiers dead in battle. Whether it will inspire the soldiers themselves depends upon whether they have become infected with the same mania which besets their rulers. The Charleston Daily Mail opines that Russia passed her preliminary exams for joining the Rome-Berlin axis by attacking a weak neighbor. All that remains now is for the Reds to master a verson of the goosestep. Sumner Welles emphasized, upon leaving Europe, that he is not bringing back any peace proposals Maybe the guy was just an autograph hunter. Soviet Russia’s Ambassador in Paris has lost his Jjob because he spoke in a telegram of “Anglo-French war-mongers.” Not only are the French angry, but it is understood that Hitler intends to sue the Soviet Ambassador for infringement of copyright. The German Reich is calling in all bronze bells. When the buzzer sounds, we suppose, it will be time to go to church.

Adverse as- H)('rls are mildly active. The even- |ing should be fortunate for eon- fernces or pursuits requiring alert- ness of mind. Heart and Home: There is mild promise today for meetings with new friends of opposite sex. Young folk may look forward to pleasant hours in social entertainments. Dances are under good direction lof the stars. The evening hours are beneficient to home hospitali- ties in which men and women en- joy informal discussions of current topies Contacts with persons of wealth and influence should be es- pecially fortunate. Business Affairs: Men who own small shops or business enterprises conducted on restricted capital will have occasion to discern undercover | vy monopolies that retard progress. Re- | bellion against government control of certain industries will be apparent in coming months the voters will demand freedom from hampering laws. National Issues: Theatres and| their management are to fall under public notice by a general demand for amusement at low rates. Mo-| tion pictures will gain in patronage despite suasions unfavorably to large profits. The music world will receive its greatest popularity from martial strains played by bands in- spiring patriotism and generosity. International Affairs: The Soviet government is likely to be affected by the death of a man who wields great power. Stalin may be elim- inated before the late &utumn. Ja- | pan comes under a sway making for peace negotiations. The recent con- | junction of Mars and Uranus has| been interpreted as of evil portent which will hasten face-saving ef- forts. Persons whose birthday it is have the augury of a year of difficulties. | Adjustment to transitional social and business conditions is imperative for both men and women. Children born on this day prob- ably will be prudent, far-seeing | and energetic.
