They've bombed Kodiak, Sitka about other Alaska base. The rumor boosters have sunk a dozen or so ships—have listed casualties, damages. They've been able to find out a lot more than we have, and a lot times Wednesday and just every more than our army and navy officials have. They have, in some instances, aroused fear and anxiety among wives and relatives of men in thu} U. S. forces in Alaska.

If we did not believe in the integrity of human spirit, we would have no abiding quarrel with the Totalitarians. Should we fight the war in an attitude of skep- tical materialism, or with a waning faith in our tra- out of the struggle defeated and disillusioned regard- less of our ultimate military victory. We cannot | pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor for anything less. than those articles of American faith which inspired our political ancestors to con- strugt a nation out of their firm reliance upon the wisdom of Divine Providence. Let us never forget that by every purely materialistic standard, Hitler and his Axis partners are a most virtuous combin- ation. Only by the eternal standards of religion and the American Declaration of Independence is Totali- tarianism wicked and unjustifiable. The Irony of Fate (Cincinnati Enquirer) A final touch of irony is supplied in France with the issuance of a sweeping decree by the German military command, taking to itself powers to increase the working hours of French workmen and ordering employers to report the number of men who would thus be rendered available for other work. ‘This obviously is a part of the conqueror’s “speed- up” plan for Nazi war industries. It requires no stretch of the imagination to foresee the probability that the Nazis intend to drain off much more French labor into German war production, to replace Ger- man men needed for the massive fighting of the summer on the eastern front. The prospect is none too pleasant for the French workmen who now find their working hours and their very lives ordered by foreign military authorities— who care not a whit about Frenchmen’s comfort, their convenience, or their health. This is a far ery in- deed from the laws of the Blum regime and the Pop- ular Front—those laws which thought so much of | individual rights and privileges, and so little of the national destiny. It is a ghastly mockery of the work ef French liberals to realize that a little more hard work, and a little less emphasis upen social reform, might have averted the tragedy of France. The French work- men who now must look to flint-faced German mili- tary authorities for the length of their workday or | their workweek must reflect somberly upon the thought that they are compelled to work harder for |’ their conqueror than they did for their own nation. | And galling indeed must be the realization that it is noy tco late for them to go back, and make it other- France will be liberated, but not through the| strength of France alone. The strength of France, time, is plodding now beneath a conqueror’s yoke. Counterfeit Patriotism (Philadelphia Record) Arrest of six men charged with counterfeiting The men were arrested because other members Even the notor- | us Purple Gang, of Detroit, wouldn't handle the “hot” war stamps. We are not sure that the Purple Gang s act- through patriotic motives. Perhaps—like counterfeiters of war stamps. But perhaps the Government could find a use for the counterfeiters. The stamps were said to bel good enough to fcol the post office in the ordinary | ported behind on printing war bonds.

It is not a favorable date for any sort' of initiative. HEART AND HOME: This is not a fortunate sway for women althcugh it encourages practical, constructive effort of every sort. Letters or news may be disappoint- ing. Misjudgment and even de- ceit are encouraged under a cer- tain adverse sign. Rivalry among girls who dance with the boys in uniform will be prevalent while this configuration prevails. Warn- |ing is given by the seers who say that wartime wooings are likely to| be |, fickle. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Scarcity of farm hands now will cause in- creased anxiety in many parts of the country. Girls will prove ef- ficient in many agricultural tasks for lack of brawn will not be a handicap which brains cannot ov- ercome. New . inventions of ma- chinery will facilitate harvesting but special public aid will be neces- sary in several states. Regimenta- tion cf human resources of every ort will be given a strong impetus this summer. NATIONAL ISSUES: Owing the sugar come popular as producers substitute. Charfges in menus will to be necessary in the United States' which must provide even more food {for foreign war victims than it has! sent to Europe in recent months.'

If he acquired that familiarity only at this late date, then there is no use diséussing them with him.” Note:— William Hutcheson, hh.fi of the AFL carpenters, who cooked up with Lew's the surprise AFL- CIO peue move he sprang l.ug fie cember, is secretly jockeying to bring the miners back inta the AFL fold.
