AMERICA’S CLEAR COURSE Stalin is revealed as the greatest dupe in history— Britain’s chances for survival are enhanced many-fold— The United States is given a chance to really get into mass production of war materials— Japan, as so often is the case, is in a quandary— All as the result of another world-shaking stroke by Adolf Hitler as the mighty German army and air- force are sent crushing into Russia. | The attack upon Russia, for all its stunning im- pact upon an unbelieving world, has been in Hitler's head ever since the war began. It is part of the time table by which he plans to conquer and rule the earth. For two precious years Hitler has kept Stalin neutralized. The Russian war machine, which certainly could have done Germany infinite harm if it had joined Poland, England and France in Sep- tember 1939, has been kept under wraps by a spuri- ous pact of “non-aggression and friendship” while Hitler cleaned up on his minor foes one by one. Now he is in a position to clean up on the big bully him- self and flaunts a crippled Britain by turning his “back to take on Russia. Even if the subjugation of the USSR. will be as simple and speedy as many—including, presuma- bly, Adolf Hitler—believe, the new campaign can only mean that there will be no attack on the British Isles in 1941. Hitler has given up for the time being the apparently impossible task of getting across the English Channe] or North Sea at England. While a cause for rejoicing, this turn of affairs should not be wasted by the democracies in a mere ‘“breathing spell.” This is England’s and our opportunity to defeat Hitler. Not a minute of time should be lost in cele- bration or speculation. Every minute must be used to produce weapons for the ultimate destruction of Hitler. If Hitler and Stalin have given us the preci- bus gift of a year of time—and no gift could be more | air. THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE MONDAY JUNE 23, l94| horse in the mouth until after we have used it to win the war.:} 5 iNext year .nnmn-m(th our help, which must ‘be ncreased until it becomes decisive—should be able to ruin Germany by air bombardment. While the dictatorships spill one another’s blood, the democra- cies must store up weapons to spill a whole lot more of it. One can well imagine the thoughts of Josef Sta- lin today. He kicked away the opportunity to de- strop his greatest enemy, just as the democracies almost did. The German military power of 1941 never would, have risen but for the benevolent assis- tance of Russia in the late lamented friendship pact| of 1939. Stalin made this war possible. Now the war will destroy him. In the same sense, Mussolini made a strong Germany possible when he listened te the blandishments which kept Italy behind the| Alps when Hitler seized Austria. This strong Ger-| many which he helped build has long since de- stroyed Mussolini. Today he joins weakly with his ally in the attack on Russia, though all he has to contribute to that attack are brave words, which probably were written for him in Berlin. Hitler is till using Mussolini, particularly just now in an at- ‘empt to divide American opinion on the subject of | the newest turn in the war. The Italians whoop about a holy war on communism, hoping to con- vince Americans—Catholics especially—that the Axis is a pretty fine thing after all. But Americans will not be deceived. The Italians joined Germany for a cowardly assault upon the Catholic nation of France while Germany was still an ally of Russia. There is nothing holy about Hitler's warfare. He is fighting Russia now because the campaign serves his ends. He will fight us later—if we give him the opportunity—for the same reason. It is up to us not to give Hitler a chance to break out of Europe. Aid to Britain must be in- creased. So must aid to China, now that all Rus- sian aid will cease. Japan must not be allowed to move an inch. It is time for the United States to get tough. Because, countrymen, this is a mighty tough world. . Dialing—for Death (Philadelphia Record) It is common knowledge that Germans and citi- zens of the occupied countries are punished for listening to foreign news broadcasts. Yesterday, however, The Record-New York Times Foreign Service sent the following, from Berlin: “For the first time, the press announced today, that a ‘traitor’ has been executed for regularly listen- ing to foreign news broadcasts. The man was Jo- hann Wild, 49, who was convicted by special court in Tuernberg-Fuerth.” Think what this means. A man murdered for| the “crime” of listening to radio broadcasts from outside Germany. Knowledge of truth a death war- rant in the Third Reich! The German Government itself announces the execution. This is not propaganda; it is official, from Nazi headquarters. Intent of this Nazi announcement is, of course, to frighten others out of listening to what the rest of the world has to say. Yet, in its effect, it is an official confession that long years of Nazi barbarism have not yet quenched the will for freedom among the German people. Lindbergh says Hitler rules the air. But Lind- bergh still controls a considerable portion of the hot 3 The Danes continue to treat the Nazis with cold disdain. The marriage of Germany and Denmark was strictly platonic.

Just before the President went on {the air someone told him Ann was | numbers Wachinglon Merry- Go-Round | (Oontinued from Page Ous) auto industry is being allowed to | maintain. He stated that Britain | long ago geared private auto output | to defense needs. It is not supposed to be known, but the State Department recently OK'd a proposal from the Vichy Government to send several French ships now in American waters back to Africa carrying U. 8. supplies to the French. The State Department figured | | that if the ships Were sent, it might win over General Weygand and se- cure aid for the British. The British lso OK'd the deal, providing the | F‘rench sent an equal number of bot- | toms back to the U. 8. A. STEEL PRIORITIES | Proposed solution of this bottle- neck is mandatory steel priorities, now possible under the newly enact- ed Priorities Act. The auto industry would get only a proportional share | of the metal left over after alloca- tions had been made for all defense ,needs. Defense orders would not have to wait their turn. Instead, steel.out- put would be apportioned arbitrarily on the basis of defense requirements first; the rest divided among con- sumer industries. Incidentally, this last allocation would be in the hands of Henderson, no lover of the auto ' makers, Under such controls it is possible that auto output would be slashed by as much as 75 per cent. There are some defense chiefs who contend that if a cut of this size had been made three months ago, there would be no steel shortage now. CAPITAL CHAFF Naval officers are casting a covet- ous eye at Vincent Astor's luxury yacht, the Nourmahl, upon which Roosevelt used to take fishing cruises. They would add it to the Atlantic fleet, replacing the battle- ship Wyoming, which is to become an airplane carrier. . . . New radio broadcast on health sponsored week- ly by the Woman's National Emer- gency Committee will feature such speakers as LaGuardia, Paul Mc~ Nutt and Dr. Thomas Parran. At 10:30 every Friday night, it will emphasize the lesson the British learned, that proper food and health are even more important in war- time. . . . The White House is elated over a test poll showing Represen- tative Lyndon Johnson, New Deal candidate in the Texas special Sen- ate election, leading the field by a decisive margin. He led Governor “Pass the biscuits” O’Daniel by 2 to 1, even in the rural districts where O'Daniel is strongest, with Repre- sentative Martin Dies trafling a poor-revents expert, will remember it for ,a far different reason, 1 fourth, f i However, the Maritime Commis- | sion put its foot down. It absolutely refused to permit French ships to leave American waters. They are still here. The Maritime Commission is made up of sailors and business men, but perhaps they had watched State De- partment diplomacy with Vichy. Perhaps they remembered Colonel Bill Donovan’s useless trip to woo | General Weygand; the shiploads of food. sent to woo Vichy; the fact that French military supplies in Syria were sent to help the Ger- mans against the British in Iraq. NOTE: Even some State Depart- ment officials now admit that the worst mistake the United States made was ever to recognize the Vichy Government of Marshal Pe- tain. MERRY-GO-ROUND Charles Kellogg, head of the Edi- son Electric Institute, is getting the axe as One Dollar Man charged with finding surplus power for defense industries. Kellogg vigorously op- posed Roosevelt’s many public pow- er projects, but more recently has been forced to admit that Roosevelt didn’t build enough of them. ... The French news agency Havas-Tele- mondial is getting the squeeze from the State Department for dissem- ination of alleged Axis propaganda. The State Department, which con- trols French frozen funds, is shut-: ting them off to Havas. . . . Ben] Cohen has spurned the job of SEC Chairman, will return to London instead. . . .

He summoned the young lady from a labyrinth of radio apparatus being set up to car- ry his address all over the world. “Ann,” said the President grave- ly, “is it true that you are planning to take the matrimonial leap?” “Yes, Mr. President, that is cor-: rect.” “Ann, bend down here.” And the President kissed Miss Gillis with a resounding smack.

It is fortunate for promoting plans,’ ‘but leadef; in important activitiés' may be dé-' layed or obstructed. Heart and Home: Increased work| for the public weal will engage women of all classes as midsummer draws near. During vacation days wise householders will reduce ex- penses and prepare for months when economies are neces- sary in the promotion of national defense which will entail taxes and greatest demands upon the average citizen. The cost of living inevita- bly must increase. Families with foresight will curtail usual expenses | now and will practice simplicity in entertaining their friends. | lems which have increased in many | |to prominent cities where rentals must rise. Again housekeeping methods will be altered to conform! with changing conditions, social and financial. Hotels places will be largely patronized by|- a floating population, swollen by of European - refugees. While preparing to face future exi- gencies families should not neglect summer recreations. | National Issues: Tolerance should be practiced, although sinister sug- gestions are disseminated by well-| meaning citizens and fifth column agents. Unity of thought and ac- tion is imperative as foreign war centers shift and perilous policies! appear to be obligatory for the contribute anxieties to the complex relations existing among the na-| tions of ' the Earth. True patriots will demonstrate democracy by giv- ing ‘to the utmost of their service and their material resources. International Affairs: Mexico is} to give evidence of friendliness with its northern neighbor by splendid cooperation, while many tourists from the United States will explore the country. Gradually, the Western Hemisphere is to concentrate power and economic interests. Opposing political parties may cause tempor- ary internal difficulties as the sum- mer closes, but the stars seem to promise growing sympathy and un- derstanding. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of: good luck unless wise procedure be dis- placed by rash performance. Decep- tion in business or domestic matters is probable. Children born on this day prob- ably will succeed in one of the ar- may become handicaps unless com- mon sense guides in mature life.
