Hitler is doing this and intends to do that because of the imminent eapture of Tunisia by the Allied forces. We read it all, we heard it all, as you did, and our conclusion is that the only “Victory Plan” the Allied Nations will ad- here to is the one they adopted at the time of their entrance into the war: keep on pounding Hitler, keep on pounding Togo, keep on pounding Mussolini, even though he is tottering. That is the only way to deal with megalomaniacs, who dreamed of world dom- ination, and are only now coming out of their dreams. In the first place, as Allied military experts have pointed out, Tunisia is not go- ing to fall easily. The Germans and the Italians, holding Tunis and Bizerte, will fight hard and long before they capitulate, the Germans because it is their nature to | fight long and bitterly, the Italians because the Germans will compel them to fight. Even toda hilating as most of us think it is. Thousands | of bombs and shells may explode among the men of a fleeing, tottering army, but ter battle unscathed. The best illustration of that truth is Marshal Erwin Rommel’s army that fled 1,500 miles over desert roads and through desert sands, from E] Alemein, at the border of Egypt, to the eastern corner of Tuni- with a victorious British army harassing them over the entire dis- tance with bombing and_ fighter planes, sia, other motorized vehicles, with machine guns and smaller weapons. A marine, who had fought at Guadal- canal, in relating the story of that disas- trous night to the Japs last August 20, when tions on that island, said, them everything we had, kitchen stove.” including the stove,” and yet 45,000 enemy troops are re- | ported to have reached Tunisia. The best “Victory Plan,” The Citizen believes, is to hit ’em hard and keep on hit- ting ’em hard. That’s the only convincing language Hitler and Togo and the now chestless and chinless Mussolini will under- stand. JAP LEADERS EXPLAIN The military leaders of Japan find it necessary to explain to the people of their country why the promised victory seems to be delayed. Consequently, General Hideki Tojo recently warned his countrymen that “the real war is starting from now,” that our air bases in the Solomons make it “extremely difficult” to reinforce Japanese forces and that frequently American air attacks have caused “unimaginable” privations-and dif- ficulties to Japanese troops in the Aleutian Tslands. General Tojo is correct in warning his people that, insofar as Japan is concerned, the real war is “just starting.” Despite bom- bastic claims that the U. S. Navy has been destroyed and that the white race will be expelled from the Far East, the average Japanese knows enough to realize that the war continues. Undoubtedly, after hearing of continuous decisive victories over the foes of the Empire, the docile Japanese is in- clined to wonder why triumphant peace does not arrive. DROPS $1-A-YEAR_ MEN Secretary Wickard has abolished doi- lar-a-year men in the Department of Agri- culture, directing that they accept positions as paid employes and relinquish compensa- tion from private corporations. The Secretary, no doubt, takes cogniz- ance of the criticism that has been attach- ed to the activities of some dollar-a-year men. He realizes that it may involve sacrifice to relinquish connections with pri-| vate enterprise but he feels that there should be no basis for the suspicion that, official: | power may be used for private purposes. | due to hints coming out of Washington that | y's warfare is not as anni- | killed or wounded.
