1939-41:

Adolf Hitler touched off history’s greatest war with his invasion of Poland on
Sept. 1, 1939. After a winter lull in the west, while Russia fought Finland, the
Nazis attacked Denmark. Norway, the Low Countries and France, and swiftly conquered all by
June. 1940. itaty jumped in on fallen France and began attacking the British in Africa. The
battle of Britain began in late 1940. an air blitz which ended in victory for England because the
RAF beat off the Luftwaffe. Pompous Mussolini invaded Greece in October, 1940. and promptly
got pushed back on his heels by the “army in skirts " The Balkans jumped on the Axis band-
wagon. Germany invaded Yugoslavia and Greece in April of 1941. and began pushing the British
out of Libya, when the U. S. broke relations with the Axis. Germany surprised the world on
June 22 by invading Russia, to begin the ill-starred campaign which was to cost millions of Ger-
man ami Russian soldiers' lives. As the Nazis advanced on Leningrad and Moscow, U. S bases
were established in Iceland and Greenland, and Roosevelt and Churchill held their first historic
war conference, to sign the Atlantic Charter.

The Nazis reacted vigorously lo

ridge running south from Ambir-

West of Florence, the Fifth |

miles, reaching the Serchio River I

Full occupation of Pisano in .he
central sector also gave the Amei

North and east of Florence, the

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 |/1V
You cun expect to hoar more and
more about Cartels because:
1. A senate committee—the war
mobilization committee headed by
Senator Kilgore iD-W. Va.i—wlil
J’sume hearings this week on
Cartels.
The hearings — senate commit
tees have held Cartel hearings al
intervals for a couple of years
will continue through September
2 When Germany collapses
there is apt lo be strong allied
pressure to break up German ear
tels. They helped prepare Ilia)
country for war
Many administration leaders
particularly Vice President Wall
ace. Interior Secretary Iekes and
Attorney General Biddle — want
German cartels broken up.
They also want an end to par-
ticipation in cartels of any kind
by American firms.
The Democratic party, in its
1944 campaign platform written
at Chicago, said
“We reassert our faith in com-
petitive private enterprise free
I rum control by monopolies, car
tels or any arbitrary private m
public authority."
In a very un-Christmassy cos-
tume, Rutlie Reid of the Broad-
way hit, “Follow the Girls,"
wraps a Yuletirie present for her
Scahec husband. Which is a re-
minder to you that Christmas
packages for servicemen abroad
must be mailed between Sept.
15th and Oct. 15th,
in its respective territory; keep
prices at a higher level than would
he possible if there was competi-
tive under-selling by the cartel
members against one another; ex-
change patents and scientific and
technological knowledge between
and for the benefit of Cartel mem-
bers, which means non-cartel
members would he frozen out of
the benefits.
Since 1939 the Justice Depart-
ment has filed more than 40 civil
and criminal anti trust suits—in-
volving cartel arrangements
against American firms.
The cases ranged from charges
of monopoly in chemicals and
electric lamps In aluminum and
magnesium 'both precious war
metals) to drugs, synthetic rub-
ber, oil, optical instruments, alkali,
plasties, aircraft instruments and
fertilizer.
Congress may or may not pass
laws about cartels. It may he con-
tent with the present anti trust
laws.
Bills pending in Congress would t
impose regulations on American
firms which arc cartel members.
One of these bills would com-
pel them to register and thus re
veal their foreign lie ups as
members ot a cartl.

A cartel could be an agreement
