AMERICA ‘AGGRESSOR’
Hitler's pretense that the United
States has been the aggressor, at'
tacking Germany in the undeclared
war of the Atlantic, conforms to
the routine followed in every pre-
vious instance of Nazi conquest and
attempted conquest.
The facts are that Nazi sub-
marines first attacked and unk eight
American-owned vessels which not
only were in defense waters as de
fined by the President but also,
in instances, beyond the danger
zones of effective blockade of Brit-
ain. The President’s order to the
navy to "shoot on sight” was not
the initial step of undeclared war
in the Atlantic, even if Hitler's
claim that attacked American des-
troyers fired the first shots is ac
cepted, Since an undeclared war
exlBts between Germany and the
United States, uch discussions are
purely academic. The problem now
is that of dealing with that war
effectively both through our navy
and by increasing armament pro-
duction and its delivery to Britain
and Russia.
Hitler’s reasons for branding
America as the aggressor could have
been manifold. He must reconcile
the German people to the conflict
with the United States, discount the
effect in European countries of the
President’s Navy Day speech and
lay the basis for Japanese interven-
tion against the United States to
our foreign policy.
Strangely enough, in the last in-
stance, Hitler exposes the American
Isolationists and other opponents
of the Administration as taking
sides with him. They must tacitly
agree that "Hitler is right” in charg-
ing that the United States provoked
the undeclared war against Ger-
many. But if war between the two
countries has begun, the position
of the isolationists becomes unten-
able, if it was not previously un-
sound.
Irrespective of the circumstances
leading up to this undeclared war,
the American people must face it
as a reality and meet it with war-
time methods. The question of
blame is now irrelevant to the issue
of a conflict.—Port Worth Star-

(The International Uniform
Lesson on the above topic for
Nov 9 is Isaiah 1:10-20; Eze.
18:20-23; Luke 3:1-14; 13:1-5;
15:11-24; Acts 2:37-39; Rom. 6:1-
11. the Golden Text being Mark
1 15, "Repent ye, and believe in
the gospel.’’)
ISAIAH, ONE of the grandest
of the ancient prophets of Israel,
In the first chapter of the book
that bears his name, likens Judah
to Sodom and Gomorrah, those
wicked cities which had been de-
stroyed centuries before because
of their wickedness.
In Jerusalem the people visited
the temples. It Is true, but even
there could be found robbers and
murderers. The services of the
temples meant nolning to the peo-
ple. They attended them only to
go out to commit more crimes.
Their lives were not affected. This
was profaning the sacred places.
Isaiah, in his opening chapter,
tells vividly of the conditions that
prevailed there. “Ah sinful na-
tion, a people laden with Iniquity,”
ho calls them.
To Isaiah the doom of the coun-
try and the city was sealed unless
the people repented and quickly
turned to righteousness. Sacrifices
were indeed made to the Lord, but
of what good were they when
they were followed again and
again by evil deeds ?
“To what purpose Is the multi-
tude of your sacrifices unto Me?
saith the Lord. I am full of the
burnt offerings of rams, and the
fat of fed beasts; and I delight
not in the blood of bullocks, or of
lambs, or of he goats.”
Again, "Bring no more vain ob-
lations; incense is an abomina-
tion unto me; the new moons and
the sabbaths, the calling of as-
semblies, I cannot away with it;
it is iniquity, even the solemn
meetings. . . .
Cease to Do Evil
"Wash you. make you clean;
put away the evil of your doings
from before mine eyes; cease to
do evil; Learn to do well; seek
judgment, relieve the oppressed.
Judge the fatherless, plead for the
widow.’’
If they will but repent—"If ye
be willing and obedient, ye shall
eat the good of the land:
"But If ye refuse and rebel, ye
shall be devoured with the sword:
for the mouth of the Lord hath
spoken It."
What a sermon! Imagine a man
standing up before his congrega-
tion in this day and speaking so
plainly. Repent and ye shall live;
Continue In your wicked ways and
ye shall surely perish.
Repentance, what Is It? The
word means, according to the
Greek, a change of mind Only by
changing their minds as to what
was desirable In life, by leaving
the ways of selfishness, self in-
d u 1 g e n c e, licentiousness and
crime, and humbly trying to do
right, was it possible for these
people to save themselves. And
only so Is It possible for us to
prosper in the sense of being truly
and deeply happy and contented.
No one can bear our sins for
us. "The son shall not bear the
Iniquity of the father, neither shall
the father bear the iniquity of the
son," says Ezekiel.
John the Baptist sounds the
same note when, coming from the
wilderness when the Lord called
him, he called men to repentance,
and when the multitude asked him
what they should do to be saved,
he said they should share what
they had with those less fortunate
than they. The soldiers should do
no violence nor accuse anyone
wrongfully, and should be content
with their wages.
Story of Prodigal Son
In the 15th chapter of St. Luke,
our Lord tells that matchless
story of one man’s sinning, his re-
pentance and return to his fa-
ther—the story of the Prodigal
Son.
This son, selfishly, and with
only his wish to have a good time
[ in mind, asked his father to divide
his goods, and to give him the
share that would ordinarily fall to
him on his father’s death. Then he
left his home and went far away,
living a riotous life until evil
times came upon him and his
money was all gone. A famine
arose, and he began to be in want
—in need even of food; so he hired
himself out to tend swine, and so
hungry and low had he fallen that,
he felt like eating the coarse food
prepared for the pigs.
As he sat there, thinking over
his life and condition, he remem-
bered that the servants of his fa-
ther had enough to eat and to
spare, and he made up his mind
to go home and humbly beg his
father to take him as a servant,
as he was not worthy to be a son.
But his father saw him coming a
long way off, and went to meet
him, kissed him, dressed him in
fine clothes, and made a feast for
him.
If an earthly father would be
so loving and forgiving, will not
our Heavenly Father be many,
many times better, and forgive us
when we sin if we truly repent?
We may backslide, and not al-
ways be able to keep His statutes,
but if we have truly repented,
and we grieve over our lapses and
try again, surely we, too, "shall
live.”

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
I Cabbage, unlike its more elegant
relatives cauliflower, broccoli, brus-
sels sprouts is really “In season”
the year round.
I When you go to market for cab-
bage, look for heads that are firm
and heavy for their size. Naturally
’ you’ll also try to get one that looks
fresh, is closely trimmed with no
yellowed leaves, and that hasn’t
been obviously injured by worms
or decay. Sometimes you can detect
cabbage that will have a strong
flavor—by noting the bottom end
of the head. If the outer leaves
have separated from the base of
the stem, the cabbage may be
strong-flavored, coarse-textured.
In cooling cabbage, the important
points to remember are to leave
a lid off the pan, and not to over-
cook. Leaving the lid off the pan
keeps the vegetables from having
too strong an odor, makes for bet-
ter flavor. Also, it keeps the pale
green color of the outer leaves in-
tact.
A modem quick-cooked cabbage
dish is five-minute cabbage. For
this, heat about 2 cups milk, add
1 Vi quarts of shredded cabbage.
Cook about 2 minutes. Add another
cup of cream or top milk, thickened
with three tablespoons flour, rich-
ened with 3 tablespoons fat. Add
salt and pepper to your taste, and
cook the cabbage quickly for 3 to
4 minutes, stirring it all the time.
Result—crisp cabbage with a deli-
cate flavor, creamy white and pale
green as it was to begin with.
Because raw cabbage is such a
good and inexpensive source of vi-
tamin C, nutritionists include it in
the blue ribbon group oi vitamin C
rich foods, one of which needs to
be in the meals every day. Serve
cabbage raw in any number of ways.
From the old standby cole slaw to
our modern shredded cabbage aspic
creations there are hundreds of
combinations using raw cabbage—
with other vegetables, with fruits,
raisins, nuts, and various salad
dressings.
Let’s get acquainted! Try a
tankful of today's high test Phillips 66
Poly Gas, and see if that isn’t the begin-
ning of a long and useftjl friendship.
Your engine will start . . . every time
. .. with surprising speed. It will warm up
faster, with less protest and pop-back. And
you’ll quickly feel the improvement in
power, pick-up, and smoother running.
Yes sir, it’s not only a pleasure to drive
with this greater gasoline; it’s a pleasure to
pay for it, because its extra high test doesAk
not cost a peony extra!
It gives you volatility (high test qual-
ity) rarely equalled or exceeded even by
premium price motor fuels. And scientific
studies prove thac no gasoline, not a single
one, is so accurately matched all year ’roundsi
to the monthly changes in your weather. v
Forget starting trouble . . . just remem-
ber to stop for gas at the Orange and
Black 66 Shield.

Hitler will never take Moscow, in
spite of the terrific power of the
Nazi drive, and the battle line will
remain west of the Soviet capital,
I the opinion of Premier Joseph V.
Stalin. The Soviet leader’s flat pre-
diction, made personally to United
States Lease-Lend Administrator
Harry Hopkins, is revealed for the
first time recently by Hopkins in a
signed article in The American
Magazine.
Hopkins, who flew to Moscow to
confer with Stalin as President
Roosevelt's personal representative,
quotes the Russian Premier as fol-
lows:
We Russians shall win this war.
'fhe battle front will remtain west
Moscow. Russia will not fail.
Russia is huge, Russia is inexorable.
Russia is fighting—for Russia. She
will not again be enslaved.”
Stalin concluded his prediction
with the sentence, “Once we trusted
this man,” and Hopkins reports that
the Russia dictator referred to
Hitler his manner was more elo-
quent than his words.
“It was only when he mentioned
Hitler,” Hopkins writes, “that he
discarded his suave assurance. Then
his body grew tense. He didn’t
raise his voice; rather it went as
cold as his eyes and the mellow
harshness of it became grating.
Of Hitler he spoke slowly, not
measuring his words nor consider-
ing his phrasing, but as if he want-
ed the interpreter he had assigned
to me to convey to me every syllable
in its implication and direct mean-
ing.
“For Hitler he had more than the
anger he would necessarily have
for a man who had double-crossed
him; it was a personal hatred that
I have seldom heard expressed by
anyone in authority. The cold, im-
placable hatred he has for the Ger-
man was clearly evident. Stalin’s
huge hands half clenched. I think
that Joseph Stalin would have liked
nothing better at that moment than
to have had Hitler sitting where I
was. His hands seemed to feel for
something. Germany would have
needed a new chancellor.”
Hopkins’ description of Moscow’s
air raid defenses would seem to
bear out Stalin’s view that the
city is impregnable. Explaining that
everyone is forced to go to shelters
during a raid, or face arrest, he
writes:
“Moscow's ring of anti-aircraft
defenses and guns make London's
puny. Even if they’d let you, you
wouldn’t watch a raid on Moscow
from the roof—not more than once.
The downpour of shrapnel from
Moscow’s ’ack-acks’ would mince
you.”
Summing up the aid Stalin hopes
to get from the United States, Hop-
kins emphasized that it was ma-
terial and not men.
“Stalin doesn’t want our Army
or our Navy”, he states. “Russia
wants to fight her war herself. Her
manpower reserves are huge. But
Stalin also told me frankly what
Rusia needs, that her men and
women may give all their strength
to the cause which is ours as well
as hers.
“Stalin asked for tanks, for
planes, for big guns, anti-aircraft
guns, anti-tank guns, for ammuni-
tion, and for the superb high octane
gasoline that Ameria produces anti
is shipping to England. Stalin asked
for huge quantitias of barbwire,
too.
“You’re wondering, perhaps, why
Russia with all her great oil fields
should want gasoline of us. That’s
easily explained. High octane gas
is American. America alone produces
the best. Planes powered by high
octane have enormous advantage
in sped over those using low oc-
tane.”
