Wellington, 1011 | RUMORS OF PEACE During these day | sermany and England struggle, it is not of a negotiated peace, foundation for those inactivity while and greater of comparative gird for a new surprising to hear recurring rumors Undoubtedly there is some | in the sense that there| sides and in neutral countries who|; seeking to bring | rumors, are men on both talking of peace term: about a settlement. But there is no reason to believe | that these men are speaking for the belligerent gov- | ecnments \ are and It would be visionary to expect a peace overture from Germany. Hitler has taken tremendous risks and has won every time, Yet all that he gained for the Reich would become meaningless if he should fail to overcome Great Britain. Its sea power could destroy the gigantic continental bloc which |° Hitler has built. That sea power will destroy the Reich unless Germany military power first achieves victory over England. Similarly, the British have no genuine motive for seeking a negotiated peace, except as they con- clude that they have no chance whatever to survive a German onslaught. To negotiate with Hitler, the British now fully realize, is to surrender to Hitler No public' figure' in England dares to suggest openls that a new appeasement would be tolerable The British can be expected to cz on the fight, even with no more than the half-hearted and reluctant help they are getting from America, so long as they see any possible prospect of final suc- cess. This is credible becanse they have seen time and time again on the Continent the awful fate which awaits any people, once it bows in submission | to the new scourge of civilization which is N'Hmudl‘ Socialism | “THE NEW ORDER” The German announcement that Belgians “will be allowed to work” in Germany and send home two- | thirds of their pay is further token of the develop-| ment of a new slave state in Europe under Nazi rule : 1t illustrates, graphically, that the European war is not war in the known in recent centuries,| but conquest of the type which prevailed during the early era of civilization. The similarity is complete, incidentally, down to the point of triumphal entry of the conquered territory | Since Nazi Germany reached beyond the ceded manner — | were _ | skimmed enslave their peoples and economies. and builds respect for your business. An original print job, showing crafts- Sudeten area of Czechoslovakia and began the force- ful digestion of non-Germanic people, there has been an obvious pattern of conquest which calls for the complete utilization of the conquered. The efficiency of the process is virtually that of a modern packing plant. Lzechoslovakia was converted in toto to the Ger- preparation for war. The Skoda armament works, producer of some of the finest war equipment |in the world, has been functioning for more than a | year at top speed under German direction. The Czech economy has been sucked dry by Germany, with the Nazi party forcing its way into control of all business | Seseemoss. | culture, meanwhile, is being relentlessly destroyed. and dragooning all of the nation’s skilled labor. Czech From the first moment af invasion, when the vehicu- lar traffic of the nation was forced to move on the man | right side of the street instead of the traditional left, there has been a ruthless regimentation which is being carried into the future through the denial of higher than elementary education to«Czech youth. In Poland, enslavement has been carried on with scarcely an effort at concealment. After the Poles were shipped like cattle to areas incapable of sup- shipped like cattle to areas uncapavie of sup- The physical cream of the race was to work in porting them off and taken into Germany and factories. Germany likewise has taken over Norway, Den- mark, Holland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Belgium in a manner eloquent of her intention to Little better the fields is in prospect for France, though the enslavement may be somewhat more refined under the terms of | the “honorable” peace treaty The “new order’ 'in Europe is a slave state. Dodging the Issue (Cleveland Plain Dealer) Germany answers the United States’ announce- ment that it will not recognize the transfer of ter- ritory in the Western Hemisphere from one non- American power to another with the usual sophistry and by avoidance of the main issue. It prompts Secretary Hull to comment that “no useful purpose will be served . .. for this government to undertake any further commumcauon (on this subject) to the government of the Reich.” Like the hit bird, Berlin flutters. It declares it has given no indication of any desire to interfere in the Western Hemisphere and it sees no reason why the “hands off” warning should have been ad- dressed to it. There are, however, several pertinent reasons which the Wilhelmstrasse chooses to ignore There is the danger, now that France is con- quered, that the victor will lay claim to French colo- nies on this side of the Atlantic. There is the well- established fact that the German government does |not proceed along normal lines. Disruption of its European victims was brought about by agents, spies and saboteurs. These same people are found through- out the Americas, trying to undermine established governments, The plot exposed in Uruguay furnishes ‘hnl. the latest of many examples. The Berlin gov- |ernment did interfere there, warning Montevideo inot to molest the Germans in their sacred right to This, of course nationals by the agitate against the established order. would be called protecting one’s Nauzis. Ominous is the German assertion that the Mon- |roe Doctrine is valid only if the Americas do not interfere in European affairs. This is customary National Socialist reasoning. No American nation inflames its expatriate citizens against the govern- ments under which they live abroad. No American embassy or legation is the center of subversive pro- paganda against the nation to which it is accredited. The Nazis cannot say as much. There were abundant reasons why the warning was sent to Germany, as well as other countries. But Berlin does not recognize them as reasons, Hull |is right. When issues are dodged by the juggling of words communications become valueless, Frankness is returning to Germany. Young graduates of the Nazis' Gestapo training schools are known as Blackguards. Pro-Fascist paper in New York says Mayor La- Guardia is a “false Italian.” High praise often comes from the most unexpected quarters. Chamberlain pledges that the British will never give in. It is too bad he wasn't able to get that speech written at least three years-ago. 0000000000000 A HERE'S WHY The Empire has modern equipment for economical production The Empire's printing staff is composed of men who are craftsman in their own specialized field The Empire has a com- plete and varied stock of printing papers es manship, reflects the policy and product The Empire’s prices are of your firm.
