There are stories that “the fate of the Reich is at stake,” that Germany faces “victory or Bolshe- vism,” etc. We in this country are too apt to forget that | nothing appears in the German controlled press that Goebbels doesn't want to appear. A sudden rash of | glbomy stories wouldn’t be printed unless there wnsv a Nazi reason for them. The reason is probably a double one. who know their own people pretty well, probably figure the stories will inspire them to further efforts. | Second, they probably figure that the stories will c#use a feeling of “it's all over but the shouting”| among the United Nations. As a matter of fact, there have been many overly optimistic stories in America recently—stories that Germany's economy is cracking, that both Germany and Japan will be beaten in 1943 I There is a danger that these stories will cause‘ a softening in our home front.

Nothing quite so pat has happened to show the still-powerful Axis military strength A glance at the map shows that Russia has, in | spité of brilliant gains, recaptured only a small part of her territory from the Germans. The greatest Russian advance, 6n the southern front, has pushed the Nazis back 220 miles. Even with Rostov recap- tured, it's still 550 fniles to the Hungarian border, still farther to Berlin. In neithér Russia nor North Africa have the routed. And we | have barely started on the way back to Tokyo. If we look only at Axis losses, we'll be doing just what Goebbels wants us to do. Our job is to keep plugging steadily, without too much pessimism, but | without over-confidence. Names Or Numbers? (Cincinnati Enquirer) Taking their cue from the British, the Army |and Navy have gene all-out for naming their air- lcraft types, instead of relying on cryptic numbers This is surely an improvement. The “Flying Fortress” in the minds of Americans—and Germans, That is a manufacturer's trade name, and letters. Other names have been taken over from the British, who christened every aircraft type they bought from America. So magical was the power of words in 1940, the Hurricane and Spitfire became symbols of the spirit of the Royal Air Force, the spirit that blocked the invasion of Britain in her hour of greatest peril. i Now the names proliferate. The hard-hitting | B-26 is the Marauder, the Brewster A-34 dive bomber is the Buccaneer, and the Army's new P-51 is the Mustang. Some of these names have emerged gradu- ally in thé news. The B-24 was the Liberator in British use, and the name has been popularized in America as Liberators did more and more yeoman, service for the US.AAF. Gone, then, are the lifeless letter-number com- " | binations, which may be useful on the records of \the Army and Navy, but have remained incoherent ito the American people. A P-47 may sound impres- sive to the initiated, who know its speed and fire power. But as a “Thunderbolt” it will make better copy. Lockheed’s P-38 has earned his laurels i the Southwest Pacific, over France, and in Africa. But as the “Lightning” it will mean more to radio listen- ers and newspaper readers. So for the Wildcat, Lan- cer, Airacobra, Helldiver, Dragon, Corsair, Warhawk, land fully a score of others. Names, it is said, maké news.

The. stars presage miracles in production. HEART AND HOME: Bad wea- ther of midwinter will prove how dependable women war workers can be. With marvelous adaptability to changed routines of everyday life they will achieve expertness in dif- ficult tasks. Homes will become de- lightful havens to many who, once wearied of the monotony of house- hold tasks and marriage will"be more lasting than in times when American women had too much leisure in which to. seéek amuse- ment, the seers forecast. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Regimen- |tation and limitation in business lare to produce ultimaté benefits in the United States, the seers pro- phesy. Restrictions due to war are to teach the value of thrift and the danger of waste. Gradually new patterns are to supplement Amer- production at highest speed and thus there will be preparation for postwar pro- grams which are to lead to Aquar- ian conditions more wonderful than any in history. Revolutionary meth- ods of imparting information will make the telephone old-fashioned, be in general use. derstood and all childhood maladies overcome.
