SWEDEN WARNED The Nazis are s trying to convince their own people, and the peog of other European countries, that the Allied offensive move in North Africa has been strongly contested and resented by thé natives, both French and otherwise. But our reports of the “invasion” fail to bear this out. The only real resistance has been on the part of Germany and Italy, and Italian resistance has been half-hearted Recently, Sweden warned by the German newspaper, Volkischer Beobachter, to ‘“beware forelgn guests if the country wants tqQ protect itself from the of North Africa.” 1 This the news that d radio-photo se weden and the United Stockholm papers pub- ction on Guadal- Nazi newspaper was fate warnin ect bety States has been established lished canal said things watch vice el pictures of Americans in Commenting on th the h apparatus can probably be used for other beside innocuous radio-photos. Sweden should her foreign guests to prevent them from causing trouble, if the country wants to protect itself against the fate of North Africa.’ The fate of North Africa, compared to the fate of France, isn’t so bad right now. We don't believe Sweden is worrying about her ‘“foreign guests.” Sweden .has been making no bones about where she stands. Even though there is a Nazi party oper- ating in Sweden under the name of the Svensk Socialistisk Samling. TIts leader, Sven Olof Lindholm. recently was nicely slapped in the face by the Swed- ish mewspapers which are printing pictures from Guadalcanal Lindholm that he S cent, geners closely attempted to capitalize on the fact among the who attended a re- audience granted by King Gustaf V At this audience, Lindholm handed the King a document explaining his party’s political aims, emphasizing its allegiance to the King of Sweden. The document was placed on Lindholm then rushed to give out*the news that he had given the document to the King. But the Swedes knew that the event was not meant to have any political significance because it is the time- Washinglon Merry- Go-Round many “Does it have in the deep, used to enthrall audiences in “No, governor,” of ! view of the city?” rumbling voice Massachusetts. 'Imwm‘(! custom for the court officials to give out the news if this is the case. Like Quisling in Norw; mark and Clausen in Den- g, only to wait for the right moment into the service of a foreign power, completely in- different to what his King demands from his sub- jects in time of peril Russian Village, 1942 (New York Times) Ralph Parker writes to The Times about one of ! the many regained villages on the Russian front the Nazi terror. It has a temporary monument on which are —— listed the names of the dead and the items of dam- age done to property—a total of 75,000,000 rubles The villages of classic Russian fiction were full jof people who got drunk on Saturday night, stole each other's wives, and mufdéred each other. Thcy were sunk in poverty and sloth. This village wa organized like a factory the inhabitants evacuated all the cattle and ma- chines they could. Then the able-bodied men took to the woods as guerrillas. When the Germans were driven out the people returned and recon- structed their lives within the ruins. They did not sit up nights wondering wiether life was worth while A party Communist will believe that such mir- acles are caused by the doctrines of Marx, Lenin and Stalin. The fall of the Czaristic system certain- ly gave them a chance to happen. But what an ordinary American will see is a great people awak- ened by contact with Western technology. The first |Russian tractors and the first Soviet farms broke down, regardless of Marx, Lenin and Stalin. Now the tractors, the farms, the villages, the industries and the army are good enough to beat the Germans There had to be a desire for freedom and dignity, but the men who invented the electric dynamo, the gasoline engine, the flying machine and the reaping combine, and the scientists who learned the secrets of chemistry and physics certainly had more to do with cteating the new Russia than did the economic and social theorists Food for Alaska (U of Alaska Collegian) One of the finest things about patriotism, devo- tion to the welfare of one's country, is that it can find expression in one's every thought and act Right thinking plus right doing gets right results. There are broad flelds on both sides of our great highway of opportunity. One is deserving of special consideration because it has to do with food, and in war, food i§ a winning weapon. Every pound of food that Alaska can produce for home consumption !ought to be produced. In 1940 over 1,750 tons of white potatoes were shipped into the Third and [Fourlh Divisions. This is just one item. The pro- {ducing power of the agricultural industry in Alaska is enormous. It extends to beef, mutton, pork and poultry; to butter, eggs, milk and cream; to barley, loats rye and wheat; to all the hardler vegetables | which can be produced by the thousands of tons land to berries in immense quantities. | Every ton of supplies produced in Alaska fo | home consumption means that much more shipping space available for our armed: forces in the field !And. too, it means more available space for necessary | supplies that can not be produced in the Territory can be a positive asset agriculturally. To fail to | produce in these days of the greatest need is to be- | come resolved into a liability. ' The ton of home- | grown food products in Alaska can mean anothe: |ton of bombs to help win the war ! The work now being done at our agricultural ‘rxp(-rimem stations and in our cooperative extension | service will be extended in every way possible. It makes for how best to accomplish the task of de- veloping an industry that is vital to our obligation in helping to win the war.

Price Ad-‘ ministration officials, for instance, were reported giving the wink to people who were protesting against gasoline rationing, and saying that the thing to do was clean house in Washingion. Henry Wallace, hearing these re- ports, passed them on in no uncer tain terms to Nelson and Hender- | son NOTE—One reason why ‘Hender- son's name is mud on Capitol Hill is the fact that he permitted Re-: publican governors to appeint OPA | officials who DID mix in politics. | If they had kept out, the Kicks, would not have reached the pres- ent stage where Henderson's future political value isn't worth a wood- en nickel MERRY-GO-ROUND The Germans are trying to scare Franco out of making a commer- cial deal to sell us certain critical materials which have been going to Germany . . .
