JOE SPEAKS PLAIN Russ Prcmier Joseph Stalin spoke out in plain | language again the other day to tell his friends of the United Nations what he thought about things in general. Anc he didn’t seem to have a very lLigh opinion of the way the war was being fought in other theaters. The fact that he omitted any fight row raging in Africa was significant. what Joe is expecting is not too clear. He evidently endorsed the invasion of Africa, and mention of the Just ii is alsc possible that the offensive in Africa has | sone reflection in the Russian theater. It should be all right to go so far as to say that if the African | cperation had not been launched, Stalin’'s Red Army would have found many more German reserves in .action against the Soviet juggernaut. At the same time, the United States has made it plain, to Stalin and all of the rest of the world, that the North African campaign is the jumping off for an entry into Europe. who go over are told in their instructions which read: “No other American force has been given a more imvortant mission. From North Africa our armed forces will make entry into Europe.” But Stalin comes out with the statement that the “Red Army, alone, of the war.” We think that is a slight over-statement, with all due regard to the excellent offensive which the Russians are carrying on Stalin, however, gives no like assurance to the Allies that the Red Army will pursue the Axis beyond Russian borders.

At the same |time, the insinuations irk us, as Americans. Freedom vs. Enslavement (Philadelphia Record) If the vision of Franklin Roosevelt was unfailing in his program for rebuilding his country, it was no 1less acute in discerning the mounting menace to {world peace in the policies of Hitler's Reich. On October 6, 1937, he startled America with his famous “quarantine” speech at Chicago, in which he declared: “The epidemic of world lawlessness is spreading. When an epidemic of physical disease starts to spread, the community approves and joins in a quar- antine. . . . War is a contagion. We are deter- mined to keep out of war, yet we cannot insure our- selves against the disastrous effects of war and the \dnnzers of involvement. . The peace of the world us threatened.” | Many laughed at those prophetic words. Many more refused to take them seriously. Yet as Hitle: demands upon Czechoslovakia mounted to the grim | climax at Munich—the laughter turned to fear, the indifference to indignation. The world’s peace had | |been threatened—and the appeasement at Munich, |the deal for “peace in our time,” deceived few of us. Yet even then, Franklin Roosevelt had to fight In” |the most elementary precautions. Finally war came. A “phony war,” so some said, during the first | {months after the swift fall of Poland. i President Roosevelt begged for more armaments. He got through the cash-and-carry amendment to the neutrality act, which permitted aid to Britain. He expanded the air corps—all the while he, and most Americans, hoped against hope that somehovu {we could remain out of the conflict. When the fall of France shocked the world, the | last bars to Roosevelt’s leadership were down. In !swift succession came the 10 billion dollar defense | program; the epochal Lend-Lease Act, which helped Britain save herself from destruction; the draft, | which was to give America an army—barely in time. And when the shock of Pearl Harbor struck, 130 | million Americans thanked God that Franklin Roo- sevelt had been able to see, from over here, what Adolf Hitler really was doing over there. | The rest of the war program is fresh in the Yet watching its progress, we have scarcely realized that the most powerful contrast is |that we still wage war as a democracy, while the | Third Reich has reached the full depths of that| | degradation, slavery and degeneracy which were im- plicit on that day, 10 years ago, when Hitler took | power. In Denmark, Greece, Norway, Jugoslavia, France, Holland and a score more nations, the hope for free- dom, for survival lies with the man who cut that birthday cake at Warm Springs a decade ago. | | It was he who saw what lay ahead; his vision | whieh planned our resistance, launched the great | offensive in North Africa, and now has climaxed the | | decade with his journey to the battleground to map a drive for “unconditional surrender of the Axis.” So, today, we may well give pause and thanks [for a great leader.

WHY THEY FIGHT Here is the behind-the-scenes | ineldent which brought the recent crists inside the War Production Board and led to the dismissal of Ferdinand Eberstadt as its vice- chairman. !

The Army-Navy are grousing behind the scenes and trying to get a super- cabinet of elder statesmen (Admiral Leahy, Bernie Baruch, Jimmy Byrnes and Harry Hopkins) ap- bointed to supersede Nelson.
