RATS READY TO DESERT SINKING SHIP
While Nazi Propaganda Minister Goebbels is busy deliv-
ering pep talks to the German people, promising them that
by holding out through the next few months they’ll win the
peace, Axis big wigs have been busier than bluejays feather-
ing jlhe nests they'll flee to when the showdown comes.
Maybe the true explanation of the German Luftwaffe’s
failure to put up a strong resistance lately is that its pomp-
ous chief, Reicbsmarshal Hermann Wilhelm Goering, has
been busy unburning some of his bridges, for a report from
Switzerland says that several crates of Goering’s furniture
and valuables have arrived there.
Pierre Laval, said to be on the verge of resigning and flee-
ing France as a result of the internal upheaval since the in-
vasion, has reportedly attempted to deposit $50,000 in gold
in Argentine banks.
And you can bet your bottom dollar that every one of the
Axis war lords has long since reserved a “safe” little hideout
in one of the neutral countries, and will have his pockets
well padded for the journey when Germany finally cries
“Kamerad!”
The Allies haven’t said much of late about their intention
of bringing war criminals to trial. It couldn’t be, however,
that Goering, Laval and the neutral nations have forgotten
President Roosevelt’s warning of last March that “It is our
determination that none who participate in these acts of
savagery shall go unpunished. The United Nations have
made it clear that they will pursue the guilty and deliver
them up in order that justice be done. That warning applies
not only to the leaders but also to their functionaries and
subordinates in Germany and their satellite countries.”
Or is it that they think we’ll have a softening of the heart
once the war is won?
And will we?
SOCIAL STANDARD
There was a time when you could almost judge a person’s
position and influence by the number of servants in his
household. But now a proposal that maids be put on the
priority list, to relieve absenteeism in plants, has been made
bv the Women’s Advisory Committee of the War Manpower
Commission. If this goes into effect there’ll be an entirely
new standard bv which to gauge social standing.
It well may be that since July 1 employment offices will
weigh requests for a maid first by what the employer is do-
ing to win the war rather than by what she is prepared to
pay. And the amount of help a family has will indicate
whether they’re riveters or idle rich.

about current supply, but also about the na-

Even while Germany was ruled
by"an-1 alTeged republic its lead-
ers concluded a secret. pact with
the militarists—designed to re-
build Germany's military power .
. . Years later the leaders of the
republic bragged about how much
they had done to aid the growth
of Nazism.
Nazism is merely a new name
for an ancient German disease . .
For many years that nation has
been afflicted with the delusion
that they must rule the world
and enslave mankind . . . German
history is filled with proof reveal-
ing that their military leaders and
other influential Germans were
gripped by the lust for conquest
. . . One of Germany’s military
heroes is General Count von Hue-
sler. He once declared; “It is ne-
cessary that our civilization build
its temple on mountains of corp-
ses, on an ocean of tears and on
the death cries of men and wom-
en without numbers. Germany
must rule the inferior races of thc
world” . . That was said in 1893! jl

ers—and the people who followed I
