Fires Smoldering Beneath
Europe is beginning to smolder
Very little information seeps out of the tight
blanket thrown over a cc .ent by the censorship
of the conqueror But hert .id there a little wisp of
smoke appears, suggesting that beneath the blanket
of oppression there are fires smoldering.
It is true that not all news from occupied terri-
tories can be trusted. Some of it comes from sources
which would naturally want to exaggerate the dis-
content, making it appear that rebellion is about to
break out But taking only the news permitted to be
known by the Nazis themselves, there is evidence
of wid< pread discontent as the grip of the conqueror
tightens.
Newspapers in occupied Paris, in which nothing
appear without the Nazi imprimatur, now threaten
death for young Frenchmen who try to leave occupied
France. Apparently numbers of them have been es-
caping across the English Channel from lonely French
caostal points to take up arms against their con-
querors.
At the same time, heavier penalties are being
invoked against the Dutch, as official German news
reports tell of sabotage, secret organizations, and
occasional actual attacks against German soldiers. .
Norway, too, is feeling a heavier hand. The Nazi
commissioner has decreed that the property of the
families of all Norwegians who aided the British in
their spectacular raid on the Lofoten Islands shall be
burned That is repression precisely like that practiced
during the Thirty Years War of 300 years ago, and
suggests that the situation has become serious.
With all this there is a mounting passive resis-
tance; non violent refusal to co-operate with the
conquerors. This, too, seems to be spreading and
developing new techniques. These tactics, difficult
to cope with, can't be helping the morale of idle troops
of occupation.
All this is not to suggest that military revolt
is brewing in conquered Europe. With the machine
guns, the tanks, and the airplanes all on one side,
that is impossible. But enough has escaped from Ger-
man sources to indicate that the task of conqueror
is not in all ways a happy one, and that instead of
being "co-ordinated" into the Nazi way, much of
Europe is sullenly resentful, beginning to smolder.
The boon of "liberation" by the Nazi invaders
seems less appreciated, not more, as the months
pass.
Millions, unversed in ideology, remember only
that before the Germans came they had food, and
work, and freedom.
Second Biggest Gold Pile
The vast treasure in gold buried at Fort Knox,
Ky., naturally occupies the thoughts of all who are
gold-minded, and most men have been for at least
2000 years.
We forgot that the second largest gold pile in
the world is also in the Western Hemisphere, buried
under a mountain in Martinique, picturesque Cari-
bbean island where Napoleon's Josephine was born.
The Caribbean has seen dramas before on the
theme of gold, when English naval raiders and free-
lance pirates preyed on the golden stream that passed
through the Panama bottleneck on the way from
America to Spain. The French, it now appears, got
a billion dollars' worth of gold abroad a cruiser in
1940 just ahead of the invading Germans, and after
some thrilling adventures, landed it at Fort Saint
Louis de Saix and Fort de France at Martinique, where
it is now buried.
We know that the United States had most of the
world's gold. But this story makes it plain that the
Western Hemisphere hus practically all of it.
An Army Travels On—
Napoleon achieved quite c reputation as a wit
by sagely commenting that an army travels on its
stomach.
Not today. In 1941 an army travels on wheels.
Only two years ago the total number of quarter-
master motor vehicles in the army was about 14,000.
Today, 75,000. By the end of April, 140,000. By next
fall, 286,000, which is the number needed for an
army of 1,400,000 men.
Incidentally, in an army of that size today,
nearly a third, or around 400,000 men, will be either
drivers or mechanics driving or servicing trucks,
tanks, passenger cars, or motorcycles.
To "git thar fustest with the mostest" today,
you have to roll.

to do It all?"
The recommended measure was
described by the governor as being
"conservative" anil fair with both
labor and capital "
"It provides." hi explained, 'tor
u cooling off period of sixty days
before strikes or lockouts can
start. It provides for peaceful
picketing so that labor organiza-
tions can iet the public know that
a strike exits, but peaceful pick-
eting can be accomplished by two
pickets at the entrance to the in-
dustry. More than two are super-
fluous, and more than two can
easily lead to force and violence
instead of peaceful picketing.
"It provides for free men to
work whtn they can get a Job.
and without being forced to pay
a fee to some racketeer, or with-
out being forced to ask the con-
tent of any other person, or
without Joining any organisation.
That Is in accord with our Am-
erican way of life."
Within a few minutes after
the governor finished speaking
his hill had bean signed by sev-
en senators.
Chamber Honors
Draft Official
Emphasizes Heed
r or uooperanon
Requests of the local draft board
lor cooperation of Selective Ser-
vice registrants in proper filing of
questionnaires and the availability
of forwarding addresses were
echoed today by General J. Watt
Page, state director of selective
service.
The advantages which come to a
Selective Service registrant by
closely cooperating with his local
board were stressed in t> statement
by General Page.
"The importance of the regis-
trant keeping in touch with his
local board and immediately noti-
fying it when he changes his ad-
dress and moves from one place
to another cannot be exaggerated,"
General Page declared. "The rea-
son for this Is obvious. The regls-
tt-ant who fails in this violates the
law, places himself in needless
Jeopardy, does himself an injus-
tice and causes the local board all
kinds of needless troubles.
"Every local board has an Ad-
visory Board." he said, "and the
registrant who is in doubt as to
how to answer any given question
should consult this board and fol-
low its instructions. That's what
the Advisory Board is for. And to
advise him on any other puzzling
matter, also."
The State Director compliment-
ed the local boards of the state
tor their understanding and broad
sympathy in dealing with indivi-
dual cases.
"The registrants appreciate it,
too," he added, "as witness cor-
respondence and oral comment
from them. We don't want any re-
gistrant to forget that the local
board is his friend and that co-
operation works both ways. It
makes things much easier for ev-
eryone."
English clocks are to be moved up two hours
this year instead of the usual one. We're for anything
that will help them save the day.
Appropriation Bill
Presented House
WASHINGTON, March 13—W)
—A $3,440,585,144 appropriation
bill to carry forward the two-
ocean navy construction program
was presented to the house today
along with a warning from the
navy's high command that the
critical world situation "may con-
tinue to grow worse for some time
to come."
Recommending the huge outlay
for the year starting July 1, the
appropriations committee told«the
house that the fleet expansion pro-
gram called for the "collateral
expenses of staggering propor-
tions" and $5,383,070,000 addition-
al will have to be appropriated
during the fiscal years 1943-46,
solely to complete the current ship-
building program.

U. S. Aid Eaables
British To Take
Qffeniive In War
By the Aaaociated Press
LONDON, March 13—Swarming
over the continent from Boulogne
to Rgrlin and from the low coun-
tries to Norway, the RAF has
launched its greatest offensive of
the war. The British declared they
had been freed of worry over
plane replacements by passage of
the United States' aid to Britain
bill.
British planes sped across the
English channel this afternoon to
follow up "very successful" raids
yesterday and last night on Ber-
lin, industrial plants at Bremen,
naval shipbuilding yards at Ham-
burg, airdromes In Norway and
the Netherlands, docks at Bou-
logne and shipping at Ijmuiden,
the Netherlands, and at Ostend,
Belgium.
With new and more powerful
bombers thrown into the assault,
a well-placed British source de-
clared today that as a result of
passage of the British aid bill, '"we
now are able to launch a really
offensive war."

I tory of the city.
Supt. W. A. Mcintosh asked the
chamber to provide transportation
for 20 members of the Borger
High School band to the Shamrock
celebration next Monday. Ade-
quate number of private cars was
secured immediately.
Resident highway engineer
Smith reportad that stata survey-
or* hava already made preliminary
sketches of the proposed highway
between Sanford and Phillips, and
that they are now working on the
Antelope Creak crossing.
Tentative plans call for the
crossing to be made about one or
1 1-2 miles north of the present
one. Smith said. "And I can as-
sure you of every co-operation be-
twen us and the county."

Treasury Secretary Morgenthau
! .said that the president and 1,10
treasury acted at the request iff

to discuss the reasons.
Hungary, the twelfth nation
, whose funds have been liozen,

Morgenthau declined to say
¡ whether the action meant that the
United States now considered Hun-
! gary occupied by German troops.
Approximately $4 500.000.00(1 ol
European assets in the United
States have been tied up. Addition
of Hungary to the list, however,
I added little to the total. The com-
merce department estimated that
Hungarians had about $250,000 of
investments in the United States
plus small amount uf cash or short
term securities.
