THE UNDERGROUND EMERGES
The climax o£ the French under^iound s battle is ap-
proaching, the climax toward which they have toiled for
four dangerous, heartbreaking years. The Allies have land-
ed, have approved appointment of French Gen. Joseph Pierre
Koenig as their commander-in-chief, and have distributed
arms and ammunition for 75,000 men.
The underground, coming into the open almost immedi-
atelv after the Normandy landings, already has tied up large
German forces in southern and southeastern I ranee, we
shall be hearing more from it. But already it has done moie
than most of us here in America realize
We read that 40 per cent of German shells are duds, that
there's a bottleneck in German plane replacement parts, that
German troops arrd supplies are delayed by transportation
tie-ups. And for this we can thank the underground as well
as our Allied flyers. , .
The underground began in the shattered wreckage of a de-
feated France. Its organizers trained men and women foi
sabotage. The underground counteracted German lies, con-

Question Marks
Were you surprised to learn that
Mia. Ernest Lundeen has been at-
tending Gerald L. K. Smith melt-
ings? IX. you recall that she at-
tempted to claw this reporter for
linking her with rabble-rousers?
And ran you imagine our joy
at seeing our charges against them
both confirmed 'as being pro-sei-
and-soi when Senator Holman
(just defeated for re-election) mar-
ried her? They sure deserve each
other . . . Does Churchill know
that in spite of his boost for Spain
♦he Franco-controlled Spanish
short wavers continue to sneer at
Britain and echo Nazi propagan-
da? Isn't it typical of a fascist na-
tion to return a pot on the back
with a stab in the back? . . How
many Americans who are defend-
ing Finland know that the Fin-
nish government has supplied
Germany with more than half of
its nickel and cobalt? Don't they
realize those materials help make
Nazi tanks and guns that kill
Americans?
Dicf you notice that in Hitler's
latest diatribe he bragged about
being a nationalist? Isn t it ‘.-trangc
coincidence that ostriches in this
country are also boasting that
they’re nationalists? Isn't that the
first time Adolf stole an idea
from them, instead of vice-verea?
. . Isn't it exasperating the way
demagogues proclaim their love
sabotage. The underground coumeracieu vicuna.. «•«*■, for America's fighting men when
verted wavering patriots, published newspapers, wrecked i ^ev elec 1 ions, although their

^ThimembeSmTrm Paris subways and bombed-out hous-
es Thev stole arms, and transported them under Germans
noses. They were cold and hungry and sick but they kept
the spirit of free France alive, and kept the Allies informed
of important German military developments by secret radio.

If remains to be seen whether the aPP™acJ""j» *0.ff „ . j ,iaitic than any other of the Unit
underground's long fight will also mark the beginning of an. ..
end to the lamentable friction between the Allies and Gen-1 -
oral De Gaulle. But the £Wpecto^'i^^etuS^at u\ *->o the Allies know that Mu,s„

Certainly*General Eisenhower’s approval of the Koenig
appointment pleases the underground as well as General l e
Gaulle. For whatever London and Washington ma. thin!
of Koenig, his popularity within France seems to be solid
ana widespread. , „
Doubtless the talks between President Roo velt and Gen-
eral DeGaulle will advance Allied-French rc tions closer to
a.happv ending. Much hard fighting remain and may dii-
fifculties must still be settled, but this long ielaped under-
standing is a prime requisite.

WHAT PRICE PERFECTION?

the young lady in Jefferson. Ia.. who has been found to pos-

infect America?
Why are those stupid greedy |
gangs trying to invite inflation? ,
Don’t they understand that nb|
matter hovi rich they are their |
money won't be worth anything;
if we have inflation? . . . Why j
don't a few politicos slop gloating |
about the unity in their parties
and make certain there won't be j
any disunity in America'’ . . .
Hc.w many people appreciate the ;
brilliant job John Edgar Hoover ,
and his potent vitamin G-men i
have done1 on the home front by
squelching spies and saboteurs? j
Does America realize that the Axi<
has suffered a crushing defeat on [
the home front? Do you recall i
Goebbels brayed he would lick .
America "from within"? ... Do i
you notice that every time Ham I
Fioh shoots off his mouth—it's al-
ways done vith blanks?
Do you know that the Nazis are
only repeating the barbaric ideas .
that German militarists spouted ,
for centuries? .'. • Isn't it a fact i
t)i3t President Wilson warned j
about the dangers of rocket bombs •
and no one took him seriously? .. • i
Remember how the Nazis sneered 1
when the Italian Army was on j
the run? Now isn’t it true that no |
army in history has done as much |
running as the German Army in
Russia? ... Do those who are
making an issue of Presidential
tv dime of his critics claim'’
Shouldn't we be grateful tie was
stubborn enough to refuse to stop
fighting our mutual enemies? . . .
Whatever happened to the plan to
investigate the abuse of the frank-
ing privileges of some so Ions■ ..
What are we going to do \Gth
interned enemy aliens like Fritz
Kuhn? Allow ' them to go back
aud hatch plans lor another war?
Why shouldn’t they be put on trial
with the other Axir criminals?
Why are certain Congressional
inver.tV’atorg still on the public
payroll? Must taxpayers support
them when they're only attempt-
in' to stain our government’s
leaders, instead of exposing our
internal enemies? . . . How can
negotiated peace propagandists
call themselves peace-lovers when
their plans would only aid the na-
tions that 'started the war and I
make no secret they loathe peace?
. . . Do tlapjnws know that when
they swear to uphold the Consti-
tution they are swearing to up-
hold a newspaperman's right to
disagree with them? . . . How can
anyone call the President a dicta-
tor when most newspapers oppose
FDR'’ Did you ever hear of a dic-
tatorship that allows newspaper
opposition? . . . Whatever hap-
pened to those v-iho were going
to disprove the revelations in
“Under Cover"?

Isn't it bitterly ironic that by de-
