NAZI SHAKEDOWN According to the British Ministry of Economic Warfare, up to the end of September of this year, Germany had extorted from the conquered countries of Europe $12,800,000,000 in occupation costs and other charges, and another $5200,00000 in forced exports paid in blocked paper marks which cannot be taken out of Germany. The total is $18,000,000,000. But that is only part of the story. The $18,000,- 000,000 represents primarily collections by the German 4 5 h ] RS | ernment which levies the occupation costs and “other charges,” and only the war machine can command the imposts. Beyond that, as recently summarized by the American Board of Economic Warfare, the Germans have “confiscated” or simply plundered and sent to Germany industrial machinery, shipping, railway equipment, livestock, furniture, art treasures, muni- cipal equipment, clothing, and even the metal hinges of deors and windows—none of which appear in the foreign trade statistics. Carload lots of such material are moving into Germany from Denmark at this moment. 1 BEven that does not complete the story, or even the major part of it. The direct looting of goods and their transfer to Germany are merely a revival of the crude me!hods used by the barbaric Germanic tribes SEe S r— Government or its war machine; for it is the Gov- | that invaded the Roman Empire. The modern Ger- man “Master Race” is not only barbaric but also scientific. And the scientific part of the looting was revealed in a recent survey by OWI. According to this, the German banks and cartels, led by the Hermann Goering Iron Works and the German Dye Trust, have moved in and taken over, through compulsory financial manipulations, virtually the entire financial and in- dustrial machinery of German-controlled Europe. In order to assure dominant interest and control of them- selves they have scrambled ownership to such an extent that unless this industrial empire is destroyed they will come out of the war as the economic victors over Europe, even after. Germany’'s military defeat. And what the German banks and cartels have done on a big scale, the German administrative organs in the occupied countries have done on a smaller but more poignant scale. They have dispossessed the home owners in the cities and the peasant on she land, and turned homes and land over to German settlers or refugees in order to scramble the populations and erect a German population wall as the first defense in war and peace Nor are the financial rewards the only ones that reap. The political benefits are, especially now that things go wrong, at least equally important. For the holders of blocked marks know that their only chance to cash in would be a German victory, and some of them can be expected, therefore, to work for it. And among the big holders of blocked marks are sup- posed to be some powerful Argentine interests dealing in meat and wheat, which, if true, would explain much that is going on in that country The Archive Burners (New York Times) Of the latest Nazi achievement in Italy Benedetto ’Cxoce is the witness, To potect them from bombing, | many cases of historic Neapolitan documents had been stored in Capua at the villa of Count Filangieri. Among them were the records of centuries of Nea- politan history, including the registers of the great house of Hohenstaufen in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. And there were genealogies of the Farnese and other illustrious families. Fifty years ago there would have been German scholars at Naples studying | them. | A German soldier was shot at Capua. In punish- | ment or revenge the Germans burned the archives. ,‘It was useless to tell them, as Count Filangieri did, | that among these papers were irreplacedble memor- abilia of German history. There is no German history before 1933 in the Nazi view. So gasoline was poured over the cases with their precious contents and hand | grenades were tossed into the room where they were. Notice the progress of Nazism. From burning books it goes to burning whole libraries. To destroy a col- ‘le('tlon of archives was a new enjoyment and luxtry. | Most of ths Continent has been turned into a ltormre chamber and an execution ground. Is murder | | | gining to pall? Tt looks as though a new pleasure must have been created; the red hand stretched back into the past. This wanton recklessness indicates desperation. For many years Germany was a country | of scholars, almost fanatical frequenters of libraries. ‘Capua and Vaples ull us v,hav. Germans are Now. | OPA experts sev coal ordinator, in whic! | tioning.

HEART AND HOME: Good feel- ing should dominate in homes to- day, for women are under stim- ulating direction of the stars. Under Ithis configuration the distinctly ‘emupne attributes probably will be conspicuous in women of all ages. Again the heart rules while worldly | ambitions and vocations are for- gouen There is a sign of happy years for those who are married on this date, especially if the ceremony if performed after the noon hour. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Increase |of freight car loadings is forecast as stormy weather interferes with air transportation. There is a sign | encouraging confidence in ‘con- ditions marking the close of a year lof extreme demands upon the fi- \nancul and productive powers of ithe nation. The 1943 record of the commercial world will be an in- greater achievements in 1944, when there will be in- |creased drains on the nation’s re- fiource:i. NATIONAL ISSUES: Political u.xudnn will be prevalent in Wash- lington as the national ‘election |draws near. The stars presage that fully even while they appear to be |reckless regarding their own des- tinies. Sporadic efforts to curtail the powers of the Chief Executive will be made with limited success, it |is forecast. Much speech-making is| ,magstlicaud in what promises to |be a historic session of Congress. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: The position of Uranus indicates an influence encouraging lawlessness 'and incendiarism.
